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

 

(ii)           
Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal
amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate
to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

 

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

 

(c)            
Payment. Interest on each Term Loan shall be due and payable in arrears (in cash or, in the case of the Term Loan
B, in cash or in kind as elected pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(iii)) on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and
at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof
before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

 

(d)           
Term Loan A Closing Fee. On the Closing Date, each Term Loan A Lender shall have fully earned a nonrefundable fee
equal to three percent (3%) of such Term Loan A Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Term A Loan (as set forth in Schedule
IA hereto), which fee shall be capitalized and paid in kind by being added to the principal amount of the Term A Loan funded
by such Term Loan A Lender (the “Closing Fee”).

 

 

 

    	49

    	 

    

 

(e)            
Term Loan A Exit Fee. On the Closing Date, each Term Loan A Lender shall have fully earned a nonrefundable fee equal
to three percent (3%) of such Term Loan A Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Term A Loan (as set forth in Schedule
IA hereto), which fee shall be shall be due and payable solely to the holder of such portion of the Term Loan A on the Exit
Fee Payment Date (the "Exit Fee").

 

Section 2.06         
Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest and fees shall
be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Term Loan for the day on which the
Term Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Term Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Term Loan or such portion
is paid, provided, that any Term Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.08(a)
bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no interest shall accrue
on the Exit Fee at any time other than interest at the Default Rate if applicable in accordance with Section 2.05(b).

 

Section 2.07         
Evidence of Debt. Term Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or
more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts
or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the
Term Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in
doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect
to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Term
Loans to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon
the date, amount and maturity of its Term Loans and payments with respect thereto.

 

Section 2.08         
Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. (a) General.
All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment
or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in
Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent
will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the Term Loans of such payment in like funds as
received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m.
shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any
payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

 

    	50

    	 

    

 

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

 

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

 

A
notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.08(b)
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(c)            
Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any
Term Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and
such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the Borrowing set forth
in Article IV (or in the case of a New Term Loan, Section 2.10(f)) are not satisfied or waived in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender)
to such Lender, without interest.

 

 

    	51

    	 

    

 

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

 

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

 

Section 2.09         
Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of
setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount
of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable
to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable
to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations
owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable
share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at
such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under
the other Loan Parties at such time) of payment on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations
in the Term Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable to
the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided, that:

 

(a)            
if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto
is recovered (including pursuant to Section 10.05), such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 

(b)           
the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant
to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for
the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower
or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply), (iii) any payments pursuant to the
Fee Letters, or (iv) any payments made pursuant to Article III or Section 10.13; (iv) any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of any of its Term Loans to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
pursuant to Section 10.06(b)(vi); or (v) any payment made to or obtained by a Term Loan A Lender or New Lender that is
not shared with the Term Loan B Lenders in accordance with the priorities specified herein or the terms of the Agreement Among
Lenders.

 

 

    	52

    	 

    

 

 

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

 

Section 2.10         
Incremental Facilities. (a) Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default,
and subject to the conditions set forth in clause (f) below, the Borrower may at any time or from time to time after
the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each
of the Lenders), request (i) one or more tranches of new term loans (“New Term Loans”) under one or more new
term facilities (each a “New Term Loan Facility”) or (ii) one or more increases in the total amount of the
Commitments (each an “Additional Term Commitment”) and any Loans advanced pursuant to such Additional Term
Commitments being Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement, up to an aggregate total amount with respect to all New Term
Loans or Term Loans made as a result of any Additional Term Commitments not to exceed $20,000,000 or a lesser amount in integral
multiples of $5,000,000.

 

(b)           
(i) Each New Term Loan Facility (A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Term Loan A, shall
rank senior in right of payment to the Term Loan B, and shall rank pari passu in right of security and rights under
the Subsidiary Guarantees and in and to the Collateral with the other Term Loans and (B) shall not mature prior to the latest
Maturity Date applicable to the Term Loan A, shall not have an Average Life shorter than the Average Life of the Term Loan A and
shall not be subject to amortization, (ii) the New Term Loans in respect to such New Term Loan Facility shall be entitled
to share in all prepayments pursuant to Section 2.03 as specified in Section 2.03(c), (iii) each New Term
Loan shall bear interest at a fixed rate per annum, provided that, in the event that such interest rate exceeds the interest
rate relating to the Term Loan A immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable New Term Loan Facility, the interest
rate for the Term Loan A shall be adjusted to be at least equal to the interest rate relating to such New Term Loan Facility,
provided further, that in determining the interest rate for the New Term Loan Facility solely for the purpose of
this Section, (A) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute
like amounts of OID) payable to the New Lenders providing New Term Loan Commitments in the initial primary syndication thereof
shall be included and equated to interest (with OID or upfront fees being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life
to maturity), and (B) customary arrangement, underwriting, structuring or commitment fees payable to one or more arrangers
(or their affiliates) of the New Term Loan Facility shall be excluded, and provided further, that, in the event
that the New Lenders are paid or earn any fees in excess of the Closing Fee and Exit Fee payable on the Term Loan A or on better
terms, an amount equal to such incremental fees shall be paid to, or such better terms shall be offered to, the Term Loan A Lenders,
and (iv) all other terms of such New Term Loans, if not consistent with the terms of the Term Loans, (A) will be as agreed
between the Borrower and the New Lenders providing such New Term Loans and (B) shall not be more restrictive than the terms
of the existing Term Loans unless the Lenders under the Term Loans also receive the benefit of the more restrictive terms (without
any consent being required); provided that the terms of the New Term Facility may include pro rata mandatory prepayment
requirements for asset sales and other mandatory prepayment events so long as such mandatory prepayment events shall also apply
to Term Loans.

 

 

    	53

    	 

    

 

(c)            
Any Term Loans made in connection with or pursuant to any Additional Term Commitments shall have the same terms and conditions
as the Term Loans applicable thereto.

 

(d)           
Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall set forth (i) with respect to any Additional
Term Commitments, the requested amount of such Additional Term Commitments, the proposed effective date for the making of Term
Loans pursuant to such Additional Commitments (the “Additional Commitment Effective Date”) and the amount of
OID or upfront fees payable in connection with such Additional Term Commitments and (ii) with respect to any New Term Loan Facility,
the requested amount of New Term Loans, the proposed terms of the relevant New Term Loan Facility and the proposed effective date
for the making of such New Term Loan Facility (the “New Term Loan Effective Date” and together with any Additional
Commitment Effective Date, the “Increase Effective Date”). New Term Loans or Additional Term Commitments may
be made or provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that no existing Lender will have an obligation to make a portion
of any New Term Loan or provide any Additional Term Commitment) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such
other bank or other financial institution being called a “New Lender”); provided any such New Lenders
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

 

(e)            
Commitments in respect of New Term Loans (“New Term Loan Commitments”) and Additional Term Commitments
shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this
Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each New Lender, any other Lender providing
a New Term Loan or Additional Term Commitment and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent
of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement (including amendments to Schedule IA or IB) and the other
Loan Documents as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions
of this Section 2.10. The Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that
any Term Loans made pursuant to any Additional Term Commitment, when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding
Term Loans on a pro rata basis.

 

(f)            
Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to any Incremental Amendment, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible
Officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting
to such increase, and (B) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase,
(1) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct
in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties
specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (2) no Default
or Event of Default exists; and (ii) executed legal opinions of counsel to the Loan Parties, addressed to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.

 

 

    	54

    	 

    

 

(g)           
Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any conflicting provisions in Section 10.01.

 

Section 2.11         
Extensions of Term Loans. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the then-effective Maturity Date, the Borrower may, at its option, by means
of a letter (an “Extension Request”) addressed to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly deliver such
Extension Request to each Lender), request that all the Lenders of all or a portion of Loans with a like Maturity Date and on
the same terms to each such Lender extend their scheduled Maturity Dates and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans pursuant
to the terms of the relevant Extension Request (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable
in respect of such Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Loans as so extended, as well as the original
Loans (not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of
Loans from the tranche of Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) except
as to interest rates, fees, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall,
subject to immediately succeeding clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and
set forth in the relevant Extension Request), the Term Loans of any Term Lender (an “Extending Term Lender”)
extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Term
Loans subject to such Extension Request, (ii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than
the Maturity Date applicable to the Loans extended thereby (prior to giving effect to any such Extension), (iii) the Average
Life of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Average Life of the Loans extended thereby, (iv) any
Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro
rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective
Extension Request, (v) the interest rate for any Extending Term Loan shall not be greater than the interest rate for the Term
Loans made on the Closing Date, provided, that in determining the interest rate for the Extended Term Loans solely for
the purpose of this Section, (A) OID or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable
to the Extending Term Lenders and the Lenders in the initial primary syndication thereof shall be included and equated to interest
(with OID or upfront fees being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), and (B) customary arrangement,
underwriting, structuring or commitment fees payable to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) in connection with the Extended
Term Loans and the Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall be excluded, (vi) all documentation in respect of such Extension
shall be consistent with the foregoing; (vii) no more than four (4) Maturity Dates shall apply to the outstanding Loans after
giving effect to any Extension proposed in such Extension Request and (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall
be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower. Each Lender electing (in its sole discretion) to extend its scheduled Maturity Date
shall execute and deliver not later than the date set by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in the applicable Extension
Request counterparts of such Extension Request to the Administrative Agent, who shall notify the Borrower, in writing, of the
Lenders’ decisions as soon as possible thereafter, whereupon such Lender’s scheduled Maturity Date shall be extended,
effective only as of the date that is such Lender’s then-current scheduled Maturity Date, for the period as agreed in the
Extension Request. Any Lender that declines or fails to respond to an Extension Request shall be deemed to have not extended its
scheduled Maturity Date

 

 

 

    	55

    	 

    

 

(b)           
With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.11, no Extension Request
is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided, that the Borrower may at its election specify
as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to
be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Request in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the
Borrower) of Term Loans of any or all applicable tranches be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent
to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.11 (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant
Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise
prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.11.

 

(c)            
The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to enter into amendments to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches
in respect of Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion
of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each
case on terms consistent with this Section 2.11. All such amendments entered into with the Borrower by the Administrative
Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be binding and conclusive on the Lenders.

 

Section 2.12         
Defaulting Lenders. (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting
Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

 

(i)             
Waivers and Amendments. That 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 10.01.

 

 

 

    	56

    	 

    

 

(ii)           
Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII
or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08),
shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment
of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request
(so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Term Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender
has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third,
if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released
in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Term Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment
of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against
that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth,
so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s
breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court
of competent jurisdiction; provided, that, if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Term Loans
in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Term Loans were made at
a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely
to pay the Term Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Term
Loans owed to that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are
applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.12(a)(ii)
shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(b)           
No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Section 2.12, performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder shall not be excused or otherwise modified
as a result of the operation of this Section 2.12. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this
Section 2.12 are in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, or any
Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

 

(c)            
Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that
a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties
hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender
will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Term Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions
as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Term Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the
Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided,
that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower
while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly
agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any
claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. The Borrower shall pay to any applicable
Lender any costs of the type referred to in Section 3.05 in connection with the foregoing.

Article III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

 

Section 3.01         
Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account
of any Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding
for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided, that if the an applicable withholding agent shall be required by Applicable
Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions have been made including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 3.01(a) (after payment of all Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes) the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall
timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

 

(b)           
Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(a) above, the
Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

 

(c)            
Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten
(10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including the full amount of
taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the
Administrative Agent or each Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, except to the extent any such liability (including additions
to tax, penalties, interest and expense) arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or
such Lender or its Affiliate. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to a Loan Party by a Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)           
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower
to a Governmental Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt
issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(e)            
Status of Lenders. Each Lender that is a “United States Person” as defined in section 7701(a)(30)
of the Code that may be treated as an exempt recipient (as defined in section 6049(b)(4) of the Code and the treasury regulations
thereunder) shall deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement and, in the case where a U.S. Lender changes its applicable Lending Office by designating a new Lending Office,
the date upon which such Lender designates the new Lending Office, two duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9 or successor form, certifying that such Lender is on the date of delivery thereof entitled to an exemption from
U.S. backup withholding tax.

 

 

 

    	58

    	 

    

 

Any
Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement and, in the case where a Foreign Lender changes its applicable Lending Office by designating
a new Lending Office, the date upon which such Foreign Lender designates the new Lending Office (but only so long thereafter as
such Foreign Lender remains lawfully able to do so), two copies of whichever of the following is applicable or any subsequent
version thereof or successor thereto:

 

(i)             
duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an
income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

 

(ii)           
duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI relating to all payments to be received
by such Foreign Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or

 

(iii)         
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 871(h)
or section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (1) a “bank”
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described
in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (B) duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN.

 

In
addition to documents delivered pursuant to one of clauses (i) through (iii) above, if a payment made to a
Foreign Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. withholding tax imposed by section 1471 through 1474 of the
Code and any regulations thereunder or official governmental interpretations thereof (“FATCA”), such Foreign
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such other documentation as reasonably required to permit the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with applicable FATCA reporting requirements (the “FATCA Documentation”).

 

In
the event that, pursuant to Section 10.06(d), a Participant is claiming the benefits of this Section 3.01,
such Participant shall provide the forms required above to the Lender from which the related participation was purchased, and
if such Lender is a Foreign Lender, such Lender shall, promptly upon receipt thereof (but in no event later than the next scheduled
payment under this Agreement) forward such documentation to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, together with such additional
forms as are required by law. If, at the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which a Lender becomes a
party to this Agreement, such Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this Section 3.01
in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Indemnified
Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable
in Indemnified Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to such Lender assignee on such date.

 

 

    	59

    	 

    

 

Without
limiting the obligations of the Lenders set forth above regarding delivery of certain forms and documents to establish each Lender’s
status for U.S. withholding tax purposes, each Lender agrees promptly to deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower,
as the Administrative Agent or the Borrower shall reasonably request in writing, on or prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely
fashion thereafter (including upon any change in circumstances that makes any information required to be on such form previously
delivered by such Lender incorrect), such other documents and forms as would reduce or avoid any Indemnified Taxes in respect
of all payments to be made to such Lender outside of the United States by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise
to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in such other jurisdiction; provided, that if any
form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information
necessary to compute the tax payable and information required by the Internal Revenue Service Form W 8BEN or W-8ECI
(or successor form), that the applicable Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender shall give notice thereof
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential
information. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render
invalid any such claimed exemption or reduction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.01(e), a Lender
shall not be required to deliver any form, document or other information pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) that such
Lender is not lawfully able to deliver.

 

For
any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the appropriate
form, certificate or other document described in this subsection (e) (unless the Lender is no longer lawfully able
to provide such form, certificate or other document due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring
after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided or if such form, certificate
or other document otherwise is not required under this subsection (e)), such Lender shall not be entitled to the additional
sums or indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 3.01 with respect to Indemnified
Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Indemnified
Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Borrower shall take steps
as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Indemnified Taxes. If, on the date that a Foreign
Lender is required to deliver the FATCA Documentation, such Foreign Lender was not in compliance with the applicable FATCA reporting
requirements (unless such Foreign Lender is no longer lawfully able to be so compliant due to a change in law, or in the interpretation
or application thereof, occurring after the date on which such FATCA Documentation originally was required to be provided), then
such Foreign Lender shall not be entitled to the additional sums or indemnification under subsection (a) or (c)
of this Section 3.01 with respect to FATCA Taxes imposed by reason of such failure.

 

 

 

    	60

    	 

    

 

(f)            
Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that
it has received a refund with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower
or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional sums pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 3.01,
it shall promptly pay such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made or additional sums paid by the Borrower with
respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses
of such Administrative Agent or the Lender incurred in obtaining such refund (including any net increase in Taxes imposed with
respect to such refund) and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect
to such refund); provided, however, that the Borrower agrees to promptly return such amount (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the applicable Administrative Agent or Lender, as
the case may be, if it receives notice from the applicable Administrative Agent or Lender that such Administrative Agent or the
Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems
confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 

Section 3.02         
[Intentionally omitted].

 

Section 3.03         
[Intentionally omitted].

 

Section 3.04         
Increased Costs. (a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

 

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

 

(ii)           
impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement;

 

and the result
of any of the foregoing shall be to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

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

 

 

    	61

    	 

    

 

 

(c)            
Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section,
describing the basis therefore and showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and delivered to the Borrower shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty
(30) days after receipt thereof.

 

(d)           
Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions
of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided,
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any
increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the 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 90-day
period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

Section 3.05         
[Intentionally omitted].

 

Section 3.06         
Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Designation of a Different
Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and requirements of the Applicable Law) to
designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder
to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in
the future, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender
in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b)           
Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, if the Borrower is required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
or if any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

 

Section 3.07         
Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III
shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Article V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

The
Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

 

Section 5.01          Formation
and Qualification. (a) The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries are duly incorporated or formed, as applicable, and in
good standing under the laws of the state listed on Schedule 5.01(a) and are qualified to do business and are in
good standing in the states listed on Schedule 5.01(a) which constitute all states in which qualification and
good standing are necessary for the Borrower or such Subsidiary to conduct its business and own its property and where the
failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries has delivered to the Administrative Agent true and complete copies of its certificate of incorporation and
by-laws or certificate of formation and operating agreement, as applicable, and will promptly notify the Administrative Agent
of any amendment or changes thereto.

 

(b)           
The only Subsidiaries of the Borrower are listed on Schedule 5.01(b).

 

Section 5.02         
Authority. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has full power, authority
and legal right to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to perform all its respective Obligations
hereunder and thereunder.  This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, and this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Borrower and such Subsidiaries, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally
and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered at a proceeding in equity or at law.  The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and of the other Transaction Documents (a) are within the Borrower’s and
such Subsidiary’s corporate or limited liability company powers, as applicable, have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate or company action, as applicable, are not in contravention of law or the terms of the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s
by-laws, certificate of incorporation, operating agreement or certificate of formation, as applicable, or other applicable documents
relating to the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s formation or to the conduct of the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s
business or of any material agreement or undertaking to which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is a party or by which the Borrower
or such Subsidiary is bound, including the Existing ABL Facility, (b) will not conflict with or violate any law or regulation,
or any judgment, order or decree of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not require the consent of any Governmental Authority
or any other Person, except those consents set forth on Schedule 5.02 hereto, all of which will have been duly obtained,
made or compiled prior to the Closing Date and which are in full force and effect and (d) will not conflict with, nor result
in any breach in any of the provisions of or constitute a default under or result in the creation of any Lien except Permitted
Liens upon any asset of the Borrower or such Subsidiary under the provisions of any Contractual Obligation to which the Borrower
or such Subsidiary is a party or by which it or its property is a party or by which it may be bound.

 

 

    	67

    	 

    

 

Section 5.03         
Entity Names. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.03, the Borrower and
each of its Subsidiary have not been known by any other corporate name in the past five (5) years and do not do business
under any other name, nor has the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries been the surviving corporation or company of a merger or
consolidation or acquired all or substantially all of the assets of any Person during the preceding five (5) years.

 

Section 5.04         
Financial Statements. (a) The financial statements furnished to the Lenders prior
to the Closing Date are accurate, complete and correct and fairly reflect the financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
on a consolidated basis as of the Closing Date, and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied. All financial
statements referred to in this Section 5.04, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared,
in accordance with GAAP, except as may be disclosed in such financial statements.

 

(b)           
Any financial projections of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries furnished to the Lenders are based on underlying assumptions
which provide a reasonable basis for the projections contained therein and reflect the Borrower’s judgment based on present
circumstances of the most likely set of conditions and course of action for the projected period.

 

(c)            
The consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and such other Persons described
therein (including the accounts of all Subsidiaries for the respective periods during which a subsidiary relationship existed)
as of December 31, 2011, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholder’s equity, and changes in cash
flow for the period ended on such date, all accompanied by reports thereon containing opinions without qualification by independent
certified public accountants, copies of which have been delivered to Administrative Agent, have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP, consistently applied (except for changes in application in which such accountants concur) and present fairly the financial
position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such date and the results of their operations for such period.  Since August

Article IX

AGENTs

 

Section 9.01         
Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints
Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such actions on its and the other Secured Parties' behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated
to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties,
and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

 

 

    	107

    	 

    

 

(b)           
The Administrative Agent shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its
capacities as a Lender and potential Cash Management Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Citibank, N.A. to act as
the collateral agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by
any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental
thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral
Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof)
granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative
Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including
Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent”
under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

 

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

 

(b)           
Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Administrative Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates
(collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses
(including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services
and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 9.02(b) as “Activities”) and may engage
in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, the Agent’s
Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for
its own account or on behalf of others (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account
or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower, another Loan Party or their respective Affiliates),
including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or
more of the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s
Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning
the ability of the Loan Parties to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) which information
may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group. None of the Administrative Agent nor
any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lender, and shall
not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise
(including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness
of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the
Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are
expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders.

 

 

    	108

    	 

    

 

(c)            
Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective
customers (including the Loan Parties and their Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions
that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents). Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its
activities as a result of the Person serving as Administrative Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each
member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender.
None of (i) this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including
Information) concerning the Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Loan Parties
to perform their respective Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise
to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the
Administrative Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict
the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Loan Parties or their Affiliates) or for its own account.

 

Section 9.03         
Exculpatory Provisions. The duties of the Agents hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and no Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

 

(a)            
shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(b)           
shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights
and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in
writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or
in the other Loan Documents), provided, that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the
opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law; and

 

(c)            
shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and no Agent shall
be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated
to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any
capacity.

 

 

    	109

    	 

    

 

No
Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (a) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.01 and Section 8.02) or (b) in the absence
of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not
to have knowledge of any Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Default unless and until notice describing
such Default is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

 

No
Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (a) any statement, warranty or representation
made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness
of the information contained therein, (c) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms
or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (d) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection
or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (e) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral,
or (f) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject
to the foregoing clause (b)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

 

Nothing
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out
any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms
to the Administrative Agent that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not
rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

 

Notwithstanding
any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document providing for any action by any Agent in its reasonable discretion
or approval of any action or matter in such Agent’s reasonable satisfaction, such Agent shall not have any duty to take
any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby
or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided,
that, no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent
to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law. The Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly
set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose,
any information relating to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Agent in any capacity.

 

Section 9.04         
Reliance by Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Each of the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice,
request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or
intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated
by the proper Person. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally
or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.
In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Term Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Term Loan. The Agents may consult
with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or
not taken by such Agent in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

 

    	110

    	 

    

 

Section 9.05         
Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise
its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent.
The Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights
and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such
sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply
to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities
as Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

 

Section 9.06         
Resignation of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Each Agent may at any
time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, with the approval of the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a
successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within
thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders
appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided, that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower
and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective
in accordance with such notice and (a) 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 security 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 (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent
shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided
for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’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 (or retired) Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect
for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

 

 

 

    	111

    	 

    

 

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

 

Section 9.08         
[Intentionally Omitted].

 

Section 9.09         
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or any other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan shall
then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent
shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a)            
to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Term Loans
and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts
due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.08 and Section 10.04) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and

 

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

 

and any custodian,
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized
by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative
Agent under Sections 2.08 and Section 10.04.

 

 

 

    	112

    	 

    

 

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

 

Section 9.10         
Collateral and Guarantee Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative
Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

 

(a)            
to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon
termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations),
(ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01; and

 

(b)           
to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary
as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

 

Upon
request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s
authority to release any Lien or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary
Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10. In each case as specified
in this Section 9.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable
Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the
assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release
such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents
and this Section 9.10.

 

Section 9.11         
Indemnification. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United
States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to
or for the account of any Lender due to a failure on the part of such Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered,
was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which
rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify
and hold the Administrative Agent harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent, as tax or
otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent under this Section 9.11, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses).
The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation
or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

Article X

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 10.01     
Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective
unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged
by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

 

(a)            
extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 8.02)
without the written consent of each Lender (other than pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.11);

 

(b)           
postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal,
interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) or any mandatory reduction of the Aggregate Commitments hereunder
without the written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby;

 

(c)            
reduce the principal of, or the stated rate of interest specified herein on, any Term Loan, any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder (including pursuant to Section 2.03(a)) without the written consent of each Lender entitled to such amount; provided,
however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary (i) to amend the definition of “Default
Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or (ii) to amend any financial
covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest
on any Term Loan or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;

 

(d)           
change Section 2.03, Section 2.09 or Section 8.03 in a manner that would alter the
pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender;

 

(e)            
change any provision of this Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any
other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights
hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder without the written consent of each Lender;

 

(f)            
other than as permitted by Section 9.10, release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction
or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender; or

 

(g)           
release any Subsidiary Guarantor, without the written consent of each Lender, except to the extent the release of any Subsidiary
Guarantor is permitted pursuant to Section 9.10 (in which case such release may be made by the Administrative Agent
acting alone);

 

 

 

    	114

    	 

    

 

and provided,
further, that (a) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent
in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document; and (b) the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed
only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve
or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder and the Commitment of and Loans owed to such Defaulting Lender shall
not be counted for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have approved any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder
(including for purposes of determining the aggregate amount of the Commitments or Loans outstanding for purposes of any such calculation
or determination), except that (i) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the
consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or
each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require
the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the consent of the Required Lenders shall not be required to make any changes necessary to be made in connection
with any borrowing of New Term Loans thereunder in accordance with Section 2.10 or in connection with any Extension
in accordance with Section 2.11.

 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any contrary voting provisions set forth in the Agreement Among Lenders shall be controlling as among the Lenders.

 

If
any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires
the consent of each Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower may replace each non-consenting Lender
in accordance with Section 10.13; provided, that such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected
as a result of all such assignments.

 

Any
waiver, consent, amendment, release or modification pursuant to this Section 10.01 shall apply equally to each of
the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Term Loans.
In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions
and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default that is waived pursuant to this Section 10.01
shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing during the period of such waiver.

have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any
kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission
of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event
shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential
or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative
Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address
to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.

 

(e)            
Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely
and act upon any notices (including telephonic Borrowing Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such

specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. All telephonic
notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and
each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

 

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

attorneys’ fees (including costs of settlement), incurred by the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent) or such Lender
in connection with any of the following: (1) in enforcing any Loan Document or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising
or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default, including all such costs and expenses incurred

each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Party”)
against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses, joint or several, of any kind or nature (including the fees, charges
and disbursements of any advisor or counsel for any Indemnified Party), incurred by any Indemnified Party, asserted against any
Indemnified Party by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each
case, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan

obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan

shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available
to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements
and expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (B) result from a claim brought by the Borrower
or any other Loan Party against such Indemnified Party for breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder
or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor
on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

 

    	118

    	 

    

 

(c)            
Reimbursement by Lenders. Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each sub-agent
thereof (in each case, to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements
and expenses, joint or several, of any kind or nature (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any advisor or counsel
for such Person that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any such sub-agent, as the
case may be, in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative
Agent or any such sub-agent under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements
or expenses resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such sub-agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as
found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender
agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each sub-agent thereof for its Applicable Percentage of any costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 10.04(a), to the
extent that the Administrative Agent or such sub-agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower.

 

(d)           
Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. The Borrower agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether
in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their
respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents,
except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any
Indemnified Party be liable to any Person on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
(including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or and each such Loan Party’s respective anticipated savings).
The Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of each other Loan Party) not to sue upon any such
claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected
to exist in its favor.

 

 

 

 

 

    	119

    	 

    

 

(e)            
Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly upon demand therefor.

 

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

 

Section 10.05     
Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower
is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and
such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion)
to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise,
then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount
so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date
such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders
under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination
of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.06     
Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions
of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(b),
(ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06(d), or (iii) by way of pledge
or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.06(f). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed
or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

    	120

    	 

    

 

(b)           
Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of
its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Term Loans at the time owing
to it); provided, that:

 

(i)             
except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Term
Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with
respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Term Loans outstanding thereunder)
or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered
to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date,
shall not be less than $5,000,000 and in increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Administrative Agent and,
so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed and not required in connection with an assignment by a Lender to another Lender or to an Affiliate or Approved
Fund of a Lender); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent
assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee
Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

 

(ii)           
each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loans or the Commitment assigned;

 

(iii)         
any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent unless the Person that is the proposed assignee
is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee);

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

    	121

    	 

    

 

(vi)         
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Loans hereunder
to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans assigned to
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 10.06(b)(vi) shall not exceed 33% of the original principal
amount of the Term Loans and any New Term Loans in the aggregate, but only if:

 

(A)          
such assignment is made pursuant to a Dutch Auction open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis;

 

(B)          
immediately prior to and after giving effect to such assignment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing
or would result therefrom;

 

(C)          
the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, shall at the time of such assignment affirm the No Undisclosed Information
Representation;

 

(D)          
the Borrower shall, at the time of such assignment and upon giving effect thereto, be in pro forma compliance with the
financial covenants set forth in Section 7.08; and

 

(E)           
any such Loans shall be automatically and permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition thereof by the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries;

 

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall have any right to (1) attend
(including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which
representatives of the Borrower are not then present or (2) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information
or materials have been made available to the Borrower or its representatives.

 

 

 

 

    	122

    	 

    

 

Subject to
acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and
after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this
Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a
Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering
all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto)
but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, Section 3.04, and Section 10.04
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower
(at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or
obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as
a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d).

 

(c)            
Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at
the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation
of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender
pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive,
and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant
to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)           
Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates
or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Term Loans owing to it); provided, that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible
to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such
Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent
of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (a), through (f)
of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e)
of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01,
and Section 3.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided,
that in the case of Section 3.01, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of such section. To the
extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were
a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.09 as though it were a Lender.

 

(e)            
Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01
or Section 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written
consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit
of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(d) as though it were a Lender.

 

 

 

    	123

    	 

    

 

(f)            
Certain Pledges. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create
a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations
of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank in accordance
with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and this Section shall not apply to any such
pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall
release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender party hereto.

 

(g)           
Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,”
and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records
in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature
or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Applicable Law,
including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and
Records Act, or any other similar state Applicable Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

 

(h)           
Affiliate Assignments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Term Loans may be assigned
to Affiliates of the Borrower (such Affiliate, an “Affiliated Lender”); provided that such Affiliate
shall have no right whatsoever so long as such Person is an Affiliate of the Borrower (i) to consent to any amendment, modification,
waiver, consent or other such action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) to
require any Agent or other Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, (iii) otherwise vote on any matter related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iv) to
attend (or receive any notice of) any meeting, conference call or correspondence with any Agent or Lender or receive any information
from any Agent or Lender, (v) to have access to the Platform (including, without limitation, that portion of the Platform
that has been designated for “private-side” Lenders) or (vi) to make or bring any claim, in its capacity as Lender,
against the Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Persons under the Loan Documents; and provided
further that the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans assigned to Affiliated Lenders pursuant to this Section 10.06(h)
shall not exceed 33% of the original principal amount of the Term Loans and any New Term Loans in the aggregate.

 

Section 10.07     
Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of Information, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to
its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and
other representatives with a need to know such Information (it being understood that the Persons to whom such

 

 

 

 

 

 

    	124

    	 

    

 

disclosure is made
will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to
the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority,
such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); provided, the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender shall
provide the Borrower with prompt notice prior to such disclosure to the extent permitted by law to do so, (iii) to the extent
required by Applicable Law or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in
connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document, any action or proceeding relating to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder or any litigation or proceeding to
which the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of its Affiliates may be a party, (vi) to (A) any assignee of or
Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (B) any
actual or prospective counterparty, surety, reinsurer, guarantor or credit liquidity enhancer (or their advisors) to or in connection
with any swap, derivative or other protective transaction relating to the Obligations or to the Borrower and its obligations,
(C) to any rating agency when required by it or (D) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, in each case,
which is informed of the confidential nature of such information, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to
the extent such Information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (2) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source
(other than a Loan Party) not known by the Administrative Agent or applicable Lender to be bound by a confidentiality duty or
obligation.

 

For
purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary
relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided,
that in the case of information received from the Borrower or any such Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly
identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided
in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised reasonable
care to protect such Information, and in no event less than the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information
as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

 

 

 

    	125

    	 

    

 

(b)           
EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT UNITED STATES FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS PROHIBIT ANY PERSON WITH MATERIAL, NON-PUBLIC
INFORMATION ABOUT AN ISSUER FROM PURCHASING OR SELLING SECURITIES OF SUCH ISSUER OR, SUBJECT TO CERTAIN LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, FROM
COMMUNICATING SUCH INFORMATION TO ANY OTHER PERSON. EACH LENDER AGREES TO COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE LAW AND ITS RESPECTIVE CONTRACTUAL
OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO CONFIDENTIAL AND MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION. Each Lender that is not a Public Lender confirms
to the Administrative Agent that such Lender has adopted and will maintain internal policies and procedures reasonably designed
to permit such Lender to take delivery of Restricting Information (as defined below) and maintain its compliance with Applicable
Law and its respective contractual obligations with respect to confidential and material non-public information. A Public Lender
may elect not to receive Borrower Materials and Information that contains material non-public information with respect to the
Loan Parties or their securities (such Borrower Materials and Information, collectively, “Restricting Information”),
in which case it will identify itself to the Administrative Agent as a Public Lender. Such Public Lender shall not take delivery
of Restricting Information and shall not participate in conversations or other interactions with the Agents, any Lender or any
Loan Party concerning the Term Loans in which Restricting Information is likely to be discussed. No Agent, however, shall by making
any Borrower Materials and Information (including Restricting Information) available to a Lender (including any Public Lender),
by participating in any conversations or other interactions with a Lender (including any Public Lender) or otherwise, be responsible
or liable in any way for any decision a Lender (including any Public Lender) may make to limit or to not limit its access to Borrower
Materials and Information. In particular, no Agent shall have, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Agent, hereby disclaims,
any duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether or not a Lender (including any Public Lender) has elected to receive Restricting
Information, such Lender’s policies or procedures regarding the safeguarding of material nonpublic information or such Lender’s
compliance with Applicable Law related thereto. Each Public Lender acknowledges that circumstances may arise that requires it
to refer to Borrower Materials and Information that might contain Restricting Information. Accordingly, each Public Lender agrees
that it will nominate at least one designee to receive Borrower Materials and Information (including Restricting Information)
on its behalf and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact information) on such Public Lender’s Administrative
Questionnaire. Each Public Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication)
from time to time of such Public Lender’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Restricting
Information may be sent by electronic transmission. Each Public Lender confirms to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that
are not Public Lenders that such Public Lender understands and agrees that the Administrative Agent and such other Lenders may
have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such Public Lender and that such Public Lender has elected to
make its decision to enter into this Agreement and to take or not take action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or related agreement knowing that, so long as such Person remains a Public Lender, it does not and will not be provided
access to such Restricting Information. Nothing in this Section 10.07(b) shall modify or limit a Lender’s (including
any Public Lender) obligations under Section 10.07 with regard to Borrower Materials and Information and the maintenance
of the confidentiality of or other treatment of Borrower Materials or Information.

 

(c)            
This Section 10.07 terminates and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or
oral) between the parties with respect to the confidentiality obligations other than as set forth in the Stockholders Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, any obligation of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries to make a "Cleansing Disclosure" or otherwise
publicly disclose material non-public information pursuant to the terms of any prior confidentiality agreement is hereby waived
by the Lenders.

 

Section 10.08     
Right of Setoff. Upon any amount becoming due and payable hereunder (whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), each Lender and its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time
to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time
owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against
any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit
or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided, that the failure to
give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

    	127

    	 

    

 

Section 10.12     
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is
held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor
in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect
of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 10.13     
Replacement of Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04,
(b) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (c) any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender or has given notice
pursuant to Section 3.02 or (d) any Lender becomes a “Nonconsenting Lender” (hereinafter defined),
then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender
to (and such Lender shall) assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained
in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the related Loan Documents to an assignee selected by the Borrower that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided, that:

 

(a)            
the Administrative Agent shall have received the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

 

(b)           
such replacement shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment of such Lender’s Loans and such Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.03) from
the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other
amounts);

 

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

 

(d)           
such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and

 

(e)            
neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be obligated to be or to find the assignee.

 

A
Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender
or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. In the event
that (a) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested the Lenders to consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions
of the Loan Documents or to agree to any amendment thereto that in each case requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all
affected Lenders and (b) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does
not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Nonconsenting Lender.” Any such replacement
shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights that the Borrower shall have against the replaced Lender.

transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other
Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement

Original Credit Agreement or the creation, perfection or priority of any mortgage, pledge, security agreement or any other security
therefor except as expressly provided herein or in instruments executed concurrently herewith or after the execution of the Original
Credit Agreement and prior to the Closing Date. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the
Obligations outstanding under, and as defined in, the Original Credit Agreement or instruments securing the same, which shall
remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently herewith or after the execution
of the Original Credit Agreement and prior to the Closing Date. All interest and fees and expenses, if any, owing or accruing

executed concurrently herewith or after the execution of the Original Credit Agreement and prior to the Closing Date. Each Loan

all respects except that on and after the Closing Date all references in any such Loan Document to “the Agreement,”
“thereto,” “thereof,” “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Original Credit
Agreement shall mean the Original Credit Agreement as amended and restated by this Agreement and (ii) confirms and agrees that
to the extent that any such Loan Document purports to assign or pledge to the Agent a security interest in or Lien on any collateral
as security for the obligations of the Borrowers or the Guarantors from time to time existing in respect of the Original Credit
Agreement and the Loan Documents, such pledge, assignment and/or grant of the security interest or lien is hereby ratified and
confirmed in all respects except as otherwise expressly provided herein. The Lenders hereby authorize the execution, delivery
and performance of the Omnibus Amendment by the Borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Collateral Agent, and the amendments
made to the Security Agreement and the Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant thereto are hereby consented to by the Lenders.

Section 10.21     
Release and Covenant Not to Sue.

 

(a)            
The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby absolutely and unconditionally release and forever discharge the Agents,
the Lenders, and any and all of their respective participants, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations,
insurers, indemnitors, successors and assigns thereof, together with all of the present and former directors, officers, agents
and employees of any of the foregoing (each a “Released Party”), from any and all claims, demands or causes of action
of any kind, nature or description, whether arising in law or equity or upon contract or tort or under any state or federal law
or otherwise, which the Borrower or any other Loan Party, has had, now has or has made claim to have against any such person for
or by reason of any act, omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising at any time on or prior to and including the date
of this Agreement, whether such claims, demands and causes of action are matured or unmatured or known or unknown, and in each
case, arising for or on account of, in relation to, or in any way in connection with, any of this Agreement, any other Loan Document,
the Forbearance Agreement, the Restructuring Agreement, the Equity Documents and/or the transactions thereunder or related thereto,
other than any claims, demands or causes of action resulting from fraud of a Released Party, as determined by the final, non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. It is the intention of the Borrower and each other Loan Party in providing this
release that the same shall be effective as a bar to each and every claim, demand and cause of action specified, and in furtherance
of this intention it waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits under any applicable law, which provides that:

 

“A
general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing
the release, which if known by him might have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

 

(b)           
The Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledge that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to
those now known or believed to be true with respect to such claims, demands, or causes of action and agrees that this instrument
shall be and remain effective in all respects notwithstanding any such differences or additional facts. The Borrower and each
other Loan Party understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense
and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted
or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.

 

 

 

    	132

    	 

    

 

(c)            
The Borrower and each other Loan Party, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, and other legal representatives,
hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Released Party above that it
will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Released Party on the basis of any claim released,
remised and discharged by the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to the above release. If any Borrower, any Subsidiary
Guarantor or any of their respective successors, assigns, or officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys, or any Person
acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it violate the foregoing covenant, such Person, for itself and its successors,
assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Released Party may sustain as a result
of such violation, all attorneys' fees and costs incurred by such Released Party as a result of such violation.

that the encumbrances and restrictions in any such extensions, refinancings, renewals or replacements taken as a whole are,
in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, no less favorable in any material respect to the Lenders than those
encumbrances or restrictions that are then in effect and that are being extended, refinanced, renewed or replaced;”

becomes a Loan Party under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that at the time any Loan Party becomes an “eligible
contract participant” as such term is defined in Section 1(a)(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, the Obligations
of such Loan Party shall include (x) any transaction then outstanding under any Hedging Agreements and (y) any later transaction
under any Hedging Agreements if at the time of the later transaction such Loan Party is an “eligible contract participant”.”

1.16.          Amendment to Schedules.

2.     
NEW TERM LOANS. Pursuant to Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section 4 hereof, on and as of the Incremental Amendment Effective Date:

Each Term Loan A-1
Lender that is, prior to the Incremental Amendment Effective Date, a Lender under the Credit Agreement agrees that upon, and subject
to, the occurrence of the Incremental Amendment Effective Date, such Term Loan A-1 Lender’s Commitment shall be increased,
as contemplated by Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement, by the amount set forth opposite such Term Loan A-1 Lender’s name
under the heading “Term Loan A-1 Commitment” on Schedule 1C to this Amendment. From and after the Incremental
Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to any Term Loan A-1 Lender’s Commitment shall mean its
Commitment, as increased by the amount set forth opposite such Term Loan A-1 Lender’s name under the heading “Term
Loan A-1 Commitment” on Schedule IC to this Amendment.

Upon satisfaction
(or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 4 hereof, (1) the Lenders hereby agree and consent to the incurrence
by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties (after giving effect to the amendment to Section 2.10 of the Credit Agreement set forth
in Section 1.5 herein) of the Term Loan A-1 and that for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
the Term Loan A-1 shall (x) except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, have the same terms and conditions as the Term Loan
A (including, if applicable, as to maturity, optional and mandatory prepayments, and amortization) and (y) be a “Term Loan
A-1”, a “New Term Loan” and a “Term Loan” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement, and for all
purposes under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (2) each Term Loan A Lender hereby waives the terms and conditions
of Section 2.10(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement in respect of interest payable on, and the prepayment premium applicable to, the
Term Loan A-1 as set forth in Section 2.05(a)(iv) of the Credit Agreement (as amended hereby). For purposes of the definition of
“Maturity Date” in the Credit Agreement, the date specified as the “Maturity Date” of the Term Loan A-1
as the “New Term Loan” referred to therein shall be September 24, 2016, or if such date is not a Business Day, then
the immediately preceding Business Day, which date is subject to extension in accordance with Section 2.11.

    	10

    	 

    

Each Term Loan A-1
Lender, severally and not jointly agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to make term loans to the
Borrower on the Incremental Amendment Effective Date, in each case in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount set
forth opposite such Term Loan A-1 Lender’s name on Schedule IC hereto under the heading “Term Loan A-1 Commitment”
(the “Term Loan A-1”). Such Term Loan A-1 shall be deemed to be made in addition to the Term Loan A and
the Term Loan B and not in repayment thereof, and shall constitute a part of the Term Loan for all purposes under the Credit Agreement
and each other Loan Document. The Term Loan A-1 may only be incurred on the Incremental Amendment Effective Date. Any portion of
the Term Loan A-1 borrowed on the Incremental Amendment Effective Date shall reduce the Incremental Facility Amount dollar-for-dollar,
and if the Term Loan A-1 is borrowed in full, the Incremental Facility Amount shall be reduced to zero immediately after giving
effect to such borrowing unless subsequently amended after the Incremental Amendment Effective Date in accordance with Section
10.01 of the Credit Agreement. Once repaid, the Term Loan A-1 may not be re-borrowed.

Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Term Loan A-1 made pursuant to this Section 2 and the “Term Loan A-1 Obligations”
shall (i) constitute Obligations and Term Loan Obligations under the Loan Documents, (ii) be subject to all of the rights, remedies,
privileges and protections applicable to the other Term Loans under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) be
secured by the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent under all Loan Documents, (iv) be evidenced by Notes (if any), (v) bear interest
at rates and have all other terms otherwise applicable to the Term Loan A-1 pursuant to Section 1.4(b) of this Amendment
and Section 2.05(a)(iv) of the Credit Agreement, and (vi) be payable in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement. From and
after the Incremental Amendment Effective Date, (i) all references to the “Term Loan” or “Term Loans” contained
in the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to all Term Loans (including,
but not limited to, the Term Loan A-1); (ii) all references to the “New Term Loan” or the “New Term Loans”
contained in the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to the Term Loan
A-1; (iii) all references to “New Lender” or “New Lenders” contained in the Credit Agreement, the Collateral
Documents and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to the Term Loan A-1 Lenders; and (iv) all references to “New
Term Loan Commitment” or “New Term Loan Commitments” contained in the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Documents
and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to the “Term Loan A-1 Commitment”. Each Loan Party hereby (x)
represents, warrants, agrees, covenants and reaffirms that it has no defense, set off, claim or counterclaim against the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agents or the Lenders with regard to its Obligations in respect of the Term Loans (including, without limitation,
the Term Loan A-1) and (y) reaffirms its obligation to repay the Term Loan (including, without limitation, the Term Loan A-1) in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents.

The parties hereto
agree that this Amendment shall be deemed to constitute the required notice by the Borrower for purposes of the requirements of
Sections 2.10(a) and 2.10(d) of the Credit Agreement. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent each hereby acknowledge that each
Term Loan A-1 Lender is reasonably acceptable to such party.

3.

15.     
RELEASE. The Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Agents, the Lenders,
and any and all of their respective participants, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, insurers,
indemnitors, successors and assigns thereof, together with all of the present and former directors, officers, agents and employees
acting in any capacity whatsoever, including without limitation as a director of the Borrower, of any of the foregoing (each a
“Released Party”), from any and all claims, demands or causes of action of any kind, nature or description,
whether arising in law or equity or upon contract or tort or under any state or federal law or otherwise, which the Borrower, has
had, now has or has made claim to have against any such person for or by reason of any act, omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever
arising at any time on or prior to and including the date of this Amendment, whether such claims, demands and causes of action
are matured or unmatured or known or unknown, and in each case, arising for or on account of, in relation to, or in any way in
connection with, any of this Amendment, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions hereunder or thereunder
or related thereto, other than any claims, demands or causes of action resulting from fraud of a Released Party, as determined
by the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. It is the intention of the Borrower in providing this
release that the same shall be effective as a bar to each and every claim, demand and cause of action specified, and in furtherance
of this intention it waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits under any applicable law, which provides that:

“A general release does not extend
to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known
by him might have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

The Borrower acknowledges
that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now known or believed to be true with respect to such
claims, demands, or causes of action and agrees that this instrument shall be and remain effective in all respects notwithstanding
any such differences or additional facts. The Borrower understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may
be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding
which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.

The Borrower, on
behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably,
covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Released Party above that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory
proceeding or otherwise) any Released Party on the basis of any claim released, remised and discharged by the Borrower pursuant
to the above release. If Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective successors, assigns, or officers, directors,
employees, agents or attorneys, or any Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it violates the foregoing covenant,
such Person, for itself and its successors, assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages
as any Released Party may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys' fees and costs incurred by such Released Party
as a result of such violation.

CONSENT AND RELEASE
(this “Consent”)

 

Dated as of June [___],
2013

 

Reference is made
to that certain Amended and Restated Senior Secured Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of September 24, 2012, among Aventine
Renewable Energy Holdings, Inc., as Borrower (the “Borrower”), the Lenders from time to time party thereto,
Citibank, N.A., as Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent (the “Agent”) (as amended, amended and restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) and that certain Incremental Amendment,
dated as of the date hereof, among the Borrower, the Agent, and the Lenders (the “Amendment”) (capitalized terms
used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Amendment,
as applicable).

 

The undersigned,
Aventine Renewable Energy, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware, Nebraska Energy, L.L.C., a limited liability
company organized under the laws of Kansas, Aventine Renewable Energy – Aurora West, LLC, a limited liability company organized
under the laws of Delaware, Aventine Renewable Energy – Mt Vernon, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws
of Delaware, Aventine Power, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware, and Aventine Renewable Energy
– Canton, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware, as Subsidiary Guarantors under the Subsidiary
Guaranty, dated as of December 22, 2010, as amended by that certain Omnibus Amendment to Security Agreement and Subsidiary Guaranty
dated as of September 24, 2012 (the “Guaranty”), in favor of the Secured Parties, hereby consent to such Amendment
and hereby: (a) confirm and agree that each Loan Document, after giving effect to the Amendment, is and shall continue to be in
full force and effect and hereby is in all respects ratified and confirmed, except that, on and after the effectiveness of the
Amendment, each reference in each of the Loan Documents (including the Subsidiary Guaranty and the other Collateral Documents)
to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the
Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by, and after giving effect to, the Amendment;
provided that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Documents and all of the Collateral described
therein do and shall continue to secure the payment of all Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, as amended
by, and after giving effect to, the Amendment, in each case subject to the terms thereof; and (b) ratify and reaffirm (i) all of
its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party; (ii)
each grant of a lien on, or security interest in, its property made pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation,
that grant of security made by the undersigned pursuant to the Security Agreement) and confirms that such liens and security interest
continue to secure the Obligations under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all Obligations resulting from or incurred
pursuant to the Term Loan A-1 Commitment, in each case subject to the terms thereof; and (iii) its guaranty of the Obligations
pursuant to Article II of the Subsidiary Guaranty. Each of the undersigned agrees that this Consent constitutes a Loan Document
and is a supplement to the Subsidiary Guaranty and the Security Agreement.

 

    	41

    	 

    

 

Each Subsidiary
Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any provision in any Loan Document to the contrary, in the event that any
Loan Party is not an “eligible contract participant” as such term is defined in Section 1(a)(18) of the Commodity Exchange
Act, as amended, at the time (a) any transaction is entered into under a Hedging Agreement or (b) such Loan Party becomes a Loan
Party under the Loan Documents, the Obligations of such Loan Party shall not include (i) in the case of clause (a) above, such
transaction and (ii) in the case of clause (b) above, any transactions outstanding under any Hedging Agreements as of the date
such Loan Party becomes a Loan Party under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that at the time any Loan Party
becomes an “eligible contract participant” as such term is defined in Section 1(a)(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act,
as amended, the Obligations of such Loan Party shall include (x) any transaction then outstanding under any Hedging Agreements
and (y) any later transaction under any Hedging Agreements if at the time of the later transaction such Loan Party is an “eligible
contract participant”.

 

The representations
and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 through 3.3 and in Section 3.5 of the Amendment, each of which hereby is incorporated herein
by reference, as they relate to such Subsidiary Guarantor or to the Loan Documents to which such Subsidiary Guarantor is a party,
are true and correct as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier
date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct as of such earlier date; provided that each
reference in each such representation and warranty to the Borrower’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Consent, be
deemed to be a reference to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s knowledge.

 

Each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Agents, the Lenders, and any and all of their
respective participants, parent corporations, subsidiary corporations, affiliated corporations, insurers, indemnitors, successors
and assigns thereof, together with all of the present and former directors, officers, agents and employees acting in any capacity
whatsoever, including without limitation as a director of the Borrower, of any of the foregoing (each a “Released Party”),
from any and all claims, demands or causes of action of any kind, nature or description, whether arising in law or equity or upon
contract or tort or under any state or federal law or otherwise, which such Subsidiary Guarantor, has had, now has or has made
claim to have against any such person for or by reason of any act, omission, matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising at any time
on or prior to and including the date of this Consent, whether such claims, demands and causes of action are matured or unmatured
or known or unknown, and in each case, arising for or on account of, in relation to, or in any way in connection with, any of the
Amendment, this Consent, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions hereunder or thereunder or related
thereto, other than any claims, demands or causes of action resulting from fraud of a Released Party, as determined by the final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. It is the intention of such Subsidiary Guarantor in providing this
release that the same shall be effective as a bar to each and every claim, demand and cause of action specified, and in furtherance
of this intention it waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits under any applicable law, which provides that:

 

“A general release does not extend
to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known
by him might have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

 

    	42

    	 

    

 

Each Subsidiary
Guarantor acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now known or believed to be
true with respect to such claims, demands, or causes of action and agrees that this instrument shall be and remain effective in
all respects notwithstanding any such differences or additional facts. Each Subsidiary Guarantor understands, acknowledges and
agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction
against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such
release.
