Exhibit 10.1

EDISON INTERNATIONAL AND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION SCHEDULE
​
As Adopted August 25, 2022
​
Effective October 1, 2022, except as otherwise provided below, non-employee Directors of Edison International (“EIX”) and/or Southern California Edison Company (“SCE”) will receive the annual retainers, expense reimbursements and equity-based awards described below as compensation for serving as a Director.  The equity-based award provisions described below are effective as to awards in connection with the election or reelection of Directors on or after August 25, 2022.
​
Directors who are employees of EIX or SCE shall not receive additional compensation for serving as Directors (other than participation in the EIX Director Matching Gifts Program).  Directors who serve on both the EIX Board and the SCE Board, and their corresponding Board Committees, will not receive additional compensation for serving on two Boards.
​
Annual Retainers
Board Retainer – Each Director will receive an annual board retainer of $127,500 to be paid in advance in quarterly installments of $31,875 for any calendar quarter or portion thereof during which the individual serves as a Director.
​
Board Committee Chair Retainer –The Director who serves as the Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee will receive an additional annual retainer of $25,000.  Each Director who serves as the Chair of the Compensation and Executive Personnel Committee, the Nominating and Governance Committee, or the Safety and Operations Committee will receive an additional annual retainer of $20,000.  The Committee Chair retainers shall be paid in advance in equal quarterly installments for any calendar quarter or portion thereof during which the Director serves as a Committee Chair. 
​
Chair of EIX Board Retainer – A non-employee Director who serves as the Chair of the EIX Board shall receive an additional annual retainer of $92,500.  The retainer shall be paid in advance in equal quarterly installments for any calendar quarter or portion thereof during which the Director serves as the Chair of the EIX Board.  
​
The quarterly retainer installments will be paid on the first business day of the calendar quarter.  Initial quarterly retainer installments will be paid as soon as possible following the effective date of the election.
​
Meeting Fees
Except as may otherwise be approved by the Board, no meeting fees shall be paid to Directors. 

​

​
Expense Reimbursement
A Director will promptly be reimbursed after submitting to the Corporate Secretary a statement of expenses, supported by receipts and any other requested documentation, for (i) reasonable expenses incurred by the Director to attend Board meetings, Committee meetings, or business meetings attended on behalf of the corporation in his or her capacity as a Director, and (ii) reasonable program fees and expenses incurred by the Director to attend director education programs that are relevant to service on the Board.1
​
Equity-Based Awards2
Equity-based awards (“Awards”) will be granted under and subject to the terms of the EIX 2007 Performance Incentive Plan or a successor plan (the “Plan”), except that any award payable in cash will be deemed paid outside of the Plan.  The Awards consist of fully vested Edison International deferred stock units (“DSUs”) and/or Edison International common stock (“Common Stock”).  DSUs represent the value of one share of Common Stock and will be credited to the Director’s account under the EIX 2008 Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DDCP”) and subject to its terms.  DSUs include dividend equivalent rights that are converted to additional DSUs.  The number of DSUs or shares of Common Stock awarded to a Director in any particular instance will be calculated by dividing the applicable equity award amount to be granted on that date (expressed in dollars and determined as set forth below, the “Award Amount”) by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as of that date, rounded up to the nearest whole share.  Fair market value for these purposes shall be determined in accordance with the Plan.  Each Award will be subject to terms and conditions approved in advance by the Board.
​
Initial Election and Annual Reelection Awards – Each Director initially elected or reelected to the Board will receive Common Stock and/or DSUs with an aggregate Award Amount of $167,500, except that Initial Election Awards will be subject to proration as provided below.  The date of grant shall be the date of such initial election or reelection.  The portion of the award to be granted in Common Stock and/or DSUs shall be determined in accordance with the DDCP.

	1
	To the extent any expense reimbursements provided for in this Director Compensation Schedule are taxable to a Director and provide for a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the Director shall complete all steps required for reimbursement so as to facilitate payment, and any such reimbursements shall be paid to the Director on or before December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred.  Such reimbursements shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for other benefits, and the expenses eligible for reimbursement in one calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other calendar year. 

	2
	With respect to equity-based awards approved and granted under current and prior compensation plans by the EIX Board, this Director Compensation Schedule does not alter the intent of the EIX Board to have the awards and subsequent transactions by the Directors occurring pursuant to the awards continue to comply with and be exempt under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated thereunder (or any successor provision thereto).

​

​

​
Additional Award to Chair of EIX Board – Upon the initial appointment of a non-employee Director as Chair of the EIX Board, the Director will receive Common Stock and/or DSUs with an Award Amount of $92,500 subject to proration as provided below, the date of grant of which shall be the effective date of such appointment.  
​
If a non-employee Director serving as Chair of the EIX Board is reelected to the EIX Board and is reappointed or otherwise remains Chair of the EIX Board following such reelection, then that Director will receive an Additional Award of Common Stock and/or DSUs with an Award Amount of $92,500 (in addition to the Annual Reelection Award Amount of $167,500, for a total Award Amount of $260,000), the grant date of which shall be the date of such reelection.  
​
The portion of the Additional Award to be granted in Common Stock and/or DSUs shall be determined in accordance with the DDCP.
​
Proration of Certain Awards.  The Initial Election and first Additional Award amounts provided for above are subject to proration if the grant date of the Award occurs (i) in the second quarter of EIX’s fiscal year and after the date of EIX’s annual meeting of shareholders for that year, (ii) in the third quarter of EIX’s fiscal year, or (iii) in the fourth quarter of EIX’s fiscal year.  In determining the Award Amount as to any such Award, the applicable dollar amount set forth above will be multiplied by a percentage determined in accordance with the table set forth below. 
​
	​
If the grant date of the award occurs:
	Then the applicable percentage is:

	In the first quarter of EIX’s fiscal year, or in the second quarter of EIX’s fiscal year and on or before the date of EIX’s annual meeting of shareholders for that year 
	100% (no proration)

	In the second quarter of EIX’s fiscal year and after the date of EIX’s annual meeting of shareholders for that year
	75%

	In the third quarter of EIX’s fiscal year
	50%

	In the fourth quarter of EIX’s fiscal year
	25%

​
However, if a non-employee Director receives an Initial Election and/or first Additional Award during a particular EIX fiscal year before the date of EIX’s annual meeting of 

3

​

​

shareholders for that year, the Director will not receive that same Award Amount again if he or she is reelected as a Director in that fiscal year.3
​
EIX Affiliate Boards – SCE non-employee Directors who do not serve on the EIX Board will receive Awards equal in amount to EIX non-employee Directors if the SCE Board authorizes such compensation.  Differing amounts of SCE Awards, and Awards for non-employee directors of other EIX affiliates, may only be made with additional approval of the EIX Board.
​
Director Deferred Compensation Plan
​
Each non-employee Director of EIX or SCE is eligible to participate in the DDCP in accordance with its terms.  The DDCP allows participating Directors the opportunity to make pre-tax deferrals from annual retainers, meeting fees (if any), and equity-based awards.  The DDCP sets forth the terms of participation, including, if applicable, mandatory deferral of compensation that is otherwise payable to the Director for the year of initial election.  
​
Matching Gift Program
Directors of EIX and SCE are eligible to participate in the EIX Director Matching Gifts Program.

	3
	For example, if a non-employee Director is initially elected to the Board in the first quarter of EIX’s fiscal year or in the second quarter before the date of EIX’s annual meeting of shareholders for that year, and is then reelected to the Board on the date of EIX’s annual meeting of shareholders for that year, the Director would receive an Initial Award in connection with his or her initial election to the Board, but would not receive an Annual Reelection Award in connection with that annual meeting.  If that Director is initially appointed as Chair of the EIX Board at that annual meeting, he or she would receive the first Additional Award.

            Event of Default shall “continue” or be “continuing” until such Event of Default has been waived in writing (which may include e-mail) by the Required Lenders or otherwise cured in accordance with this Agreement.  Any Lien referred to in this

            principal amount thereof, and the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470-20 on financial liabilities shall be disregarded.  If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any
            Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Required Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such
            change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders and the Borrower); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be

            (as shown on the Bloomberg currency page for such currency or, if the same does not provide such exchange rate, by reference to such other publicly available service for displaying exchange rates as may be reasonably selected by the Agents or,
            in the event no such service is selected, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the Agents) as in effect on the date of such incurrence or expenditure under any provision of any such Section that has an aggregate Dollar
            limitation provided for therein (and to the extent the respective incurrence or expenditure test regulates the aggregate amount outstanding at any time and it is expressed in terms of Dollars, all outstanding amounts originally incurred or
            spent in currencies other than Dollars shall be converted into Dollars on the basis of the exchange rates (as shown on the Bloomberg currency page for such currency or, if the same does not provide such exchange rate, by reference to such other
            publicly available service for displaying exchange rates as may be reasonably selected by the Agents or, in the event no such service is selected, on such other basis as is reasonably satisfactory to the Agents) as in effect on the date of any
            new incurrence or expenditures made under any provision of any such Section that regulates the Dollar amount outstanding at any time).

       

      Section 1.05          Time References.  Unless otherwise indicated herein, all references to time of day refer to Eastern Standard Time or Eastern Daylight Saving Time, as in effect in New York on such day. 
            For purposes of the computation of a period of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to but excluding”; provided, however, that with respect to a computation of fees or interest payable to any Agent or any Lender, such period shall in any event consist of at least one full day.

            calculation of or any other matter related to Reference Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate
            thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or
            economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, Reference Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of
            any Conforming Changes.  The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Reference Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or
            replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to
            ascertain Reference Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of
            any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate
            (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

       

      Section 1.07         Divisions.  For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law and/or Nevada law (or any comparable event under a different
            jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the
            subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.

       

      Section 1.08          Cashless Roll.  Stronghold Digital Mining Equipment, LLC’s obligations owed to Whitehawk Finance LLC under
            that certain Financing Agreement dated June 30, 2021 and related equipment schedules and Holdings and Borrower’s guaranty of such obligations, in each case, shall be deemed paid by rolling them into this Agreement as a cashless roll into the
            Initial Term Loan and shall become the Loan Parties’ Obligations hereunder and the other Loan Documents and shall be secured by the security interests granted by the Loan Parties in favor of the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents and all
            of the terms, conditions, provisions, agreements, requirements, promises, obligations, duties, covenants and representations of the Loan Parties under such documents and agreements entered into with respect to the Obligations under this
            Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Other than with respect to the guaranty of Holdings of such obligations (the “Existing Holdings Guaranty”) and the Negative Pledge Agreement
            among Stronghold Digital Mining Equipment, LLC, Whitehawk Finance LLC, Scrubgrass Reclamation Company, L.P. and Panther Creek Operating, LLC dated as of March 28, 2022 (the “Negative Pledge
                Agreement”), such obligations and guaranties and security interests granted in respect thereof are hereby reaffirmed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Existing Holdings Guaranty is hereby replaced in its entirety by the
            guaranty hereunder and the Negative Pledge Agreement is terminated in its entirety, except that grants of Holdings guaranties of the Obligations and security interest in the Collateral, including the Projects are as provided in the Loan
            Documents.

      ARTICLE II

       

      THE TERM LOANS

       

      Section 2.01          Commitments.

       

      (a)     Subject

            to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Initial Term Loan Lender severally agrees to make the $35,149,410.58 Initial Term Loan to the Borrower on the Effective Date, in an aggregate
            principal amount equal to the amount of such Initial Term Loan Lender’s Initial Term Loan Commitment.  Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender
            severally agrees to, make Delayed Draw Term Loans to the Borrower at any time and from time to time after the Effective Date until the Delayed Draw Term Loan Expiration Date.  It is understood and agreed that the entire amount of the Delayed
            Draw Term Loan Commitment is being drawn and Delayed Draw Term Loans in the amount of $23,000,000 are being made on the Effective Date.  The principal amount of any Delayed Draw Term Loan to be made by any Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender shall
            not exceed such Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender’s remaining unfunded Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment.  The Borrower and the other Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be funded at a discount to their face
            value; i.e. “original issue discount”, which is payable to the Term Loan Lenders and, as such, the “original issue discount” shall not be remitted to Borrowers on the date
            hereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, such “original issue discount” shall constitute a portion of the outstanding indebtedness evidenced by this Agreement held by the Term Loan Lenders for all other purposes under this Agreement and the other
            Loan Documents (including determination of interest, the Prepayment Premium and amount due on the Final Maturity Date).

       

      (b)     Notwithstanding

            the foregoing, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loan made on the Effective Date shall not exceed the aggregate Initial Term Loan Commitments of all Lenders and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Delayed Draw Term
            Loans shall not exceed the aggregate the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments of all Lenders.  Any principal amount of any Term Loan which is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

       

      
        50

        
          

      

      Section 2.02          Making the Term Loans.

       

      (a)     The

            Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior written notice (in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (a “Notice of
                Borrowing”)), not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date which is three (3) Business Days (or, in the case of any Delayed Draw Term Loan, ten (10) Business Day) prior to the date of the proposed Term Loan (or such
            shorter period as the Administrative Agent is willing to accommodate from time to time, but in no event later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the borrowing date of the proposed Term Loan).  Such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable
            and shall specify (i) the principal amount of the proposed Term Loan, (ii) whether the Term Loan is requested to be a Reference Rate Loan or a SOFR Loan, (iii) the proposed borrowing date, which must be a Business Day, and, with respect to the
            Initial Term Loan, must be the Effective Date and (iv) the wiring information of the account of the Borrower to which the proceeds of such Loan are to be disbursed.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may act without liability upon the
            basis of written, telecopied or telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower (or from any Authorized Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from the Borrower to the Administrative
            Agent).  The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any Authorized Officer’s authority to request a Term Loan on behalf of the Borrower until the Administrative Agent receives written notice to the
            contrary.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Notice of Borrowing.  Any Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000
            (except such minimum amount shall not apply when the Borrower draws all of the remaining Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments available at such time) and there shall not be more than two (2) borrowings of Delayed Draw Term Loans.

       

      (b)   Each

            Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith.

       

      (c)     Pro

            Rata Shares:

       

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

       

      (ii)          Following the
            receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the specifics of the Term Loan. Each applicable Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent’s account no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Term Loan.  Upon satisfaction
            of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (or, if such borrowing is a borrowing of Initial Term Loan, Sections 5.01
            and 5.02) and receipt of all of the proceeds of the applicable Loan, the Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Loans received by it available to the Borrower on the day
            of the proposed Term Loan by causing an amount, in immediately available funds, equal to the proceeds of all such Loans received by the Administrative Agent in the
            Administrative Agent’s Account to be deposited in the account designated by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

       

      
        51

        
          

      

      (iii)          Unless the
            Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the proposed date of any borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such
            borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that each applicable Lender has made the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing day and the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but
            shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to the Borrower on such day.  If the Administrative Agent makes such corresponding amount available to the Borrower and such corresponding amount is not in fact made
            available to the Administrative Agent by any such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due
            until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three (3) Business Days.  Upon any such failure by a Lender to pay the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
            thereafter notify the Borrower of such failure and the Borrower shall promptly pay any such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account.

       

      (iv)          Nothing in
            this subsection 2.02(c) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligations to fulfill its Commitments hereunder.

       

      Section 2.03          Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

       

      (a)     The

            outstanding unpaid principal of the Term Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable in full on the Final Maturity Date.

       

      (b)    Each

            Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable
            and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

       

      (c)     The

            Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender
            hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

       

      (d)     The

            entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Term Loans in
            accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent
            shall control in the absence of manifest error.

       

      (e)     Any

            Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a note.  In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a note payable to such Lender (and its registered assigns).  Thereafter, the Term Loans evidenced by such
            note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 12.07) be represented by one or more notes payable to the payee named therein and its
            registered assigns.

       

      
        52

        
          

      

      (f)      If any note is issued with respect to a Delayed Draw Term Loan, such note will bear the following legend:

       

      THIS NOTE IS BEING ISSUED WITH ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT FOR UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.  FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE ISSUE PRICE,
        THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT, THE ISSUE DATE, AND THE YIELD TO MATURITY OF THIS NOTE, PLEASE CONTACT MATTHEW SMITH, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF THE BORROWER, AT     .

       

      Section 2.04          Interest.

       

      (a)     Term Loans.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, at the option of the Borrower, the Term Loan or any portion thereof shall be either a Reference Rate Loan or a SOFR Loan.  Each portion
            of the Term Loan that is a Reference Rate Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of the Term Loan until repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus the Applicable
            Margin, and each portion of the Term Loan that is a SOFR Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of the Term Loan until repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the SOFR for the Interest
            Period in effect for the Term Loan (or such portion thereof) plus the Applicable Margin.

       

      (b)    Default Interest.  To the extent permitted by law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
            Default, the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all Term Loans, fees, indemnities or any other Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall bear interest, from the date such Event
            of Default occurred until the date such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing in accordance herewith, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Post-Default Rate.

       

      (c)     Interest Payments.  Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other
            than a prepayment of an Reference Rate Loan prior to the Maturity Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
            SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such SOFR Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

       

      (d)    General.  All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or in the case of interest computed by reference to the Reference Rate at times when the Reference
            Rate is based on the Prime Rate, such interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year)), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding
            the last day).  All interest hereunder on any Term Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Term Loan as of the applicable date of determination.  The applicable Reference Rate or Term SOFR
            shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

       

      
        53

        
          

      

      (e)     Term SOFR Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and,
            notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other
            Loan Document.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
              effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

       

      Section 2.05          Reduction of Commitment; Prepayment of Loans and Mandatory Amortization Amounts.

       

      (a)     Reduction of Commitments.  The total Initial Term Loan Commitment shall terminate on the Effective Date but only after the funding of the Initial Term Loan by the Term Loan Lenders.  The
            Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Delayed Draw Term Loan Expiration Date. At its option, the Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time, permanently reduce, the Delayed Draw Term Loan
            Commitments without payment of any Prepayment Premium; provided that each reduction of the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral
            multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000.

       

      (b)       Optional Prepayment.

       

      (i)          Term Loans.  Subject to the provisions of clause (b)(ii) below, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent received by the
            Administrative Agent not later than three (3) Business Days’ prior to the date of prepayment to prepay the principal of the Term Loans, in whole or in part.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.  The
            Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Loan Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Term Loan Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment.  Each prepayment made pursuant to this clause (b)(i) shall be irrevocable (except that such notice may be conditional) and shall be accompanied by the payment of (A) accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid,
            (B) the Prepayment Premium, if any, payable in connection with such prepayment of the Term Loans, (C) any amounts payable under Section 2.09 in connection with such prepayment of the
            Term Loans, and (D) if such prepayment would reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans to zero, all fees and other amounts which have accrued or otherwise become payable as of such date.  Each such prepayment shall be applied
            against the remaining installments of principal due on the Term Loans (including the final payment of the Term Loans on the Final Maturity Date) in the inverse order of maturity.

       

      (ii)           Prepayment In Full.  The Borrower may, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate this Agreement on the Business Day specified in such
            written notice by paying to the Administrative Agent, in cash, the Obligations (excluding any unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations), in full, plus the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, payable in connection with such
            termination of this Agreement.  If the Borrower has sent a notice of termination pursuant to this clause (iv), then the Lenders’ obligations to extend credit hereunder shall terminate and the Borrower shall be obligated to repay the Obligations
            (excluding any unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations) in full, plus the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, payable in connection with such termination of this Agreement on the date set forth as the date of termination of this
            Agreement in such notice (except that such termination may be conditioned on the closing of a replacement financing facility).

       

      
        54

        
          

      

      (c)     Mandatory Amortization Amounts.  As used in this Credit Agreement, the term “Mandatory Amortization Amounts” shall mean the
            obligation of the Loan Parties to amortize or prepay (as the case may be) the Initial Term Loan and any outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans, as follows:

       

      (i)            (A) with
            respect to the Initial Term Loan, $11,716,470.20 per Fiscal Year of the original principal amount of the Initial Term Loan that is made, paid monthly (in 12 equal monthly installments of $976,372.52 each) on the last Business Day of each
            calendar month, commencing November 30, 2022, until the Final Maturity Date and (B) with respect to any Delayed Draw Term Loan, $7,666,666.68 per Fiscal Year of the original principal amount of the Initial Term Loan that is made, paid monthly
            (in 12 equal monthly installments of $638,8888.89 each) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, commencing November 30, 2022, until the Final Maturity Date.  Aggregate monthly amortization shall be $1,615,261.41.

       

      (ii)          within five
            (5) Business Days following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds of any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness, 100.0% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

       

      (iii)        within five
            (5) Business Days following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds of Extraordinary Receipts consisting of casualty insurance proceeds or condemnation awards 100.0% of such Net Cash Proceeds, unless Borrower elects to use such Net Cash Proceeds to
            restore, rebuild or repair the premises affected by any such casualty or condemnation, in each case, as provided under and subject to the limitations set forth in clause (iv) below in respect thereof.

       

      (iv)          within five
            (5) Business Days following the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition (excluding Dispositions which qualify as Permitted Dispositions under clauses (b) through (f) and (h) through (k) of the definition of “Permitted Disposition”) by
            any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 7.02(c)(ii)(B), the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in accordance in an amount equal to
            100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such excess received by such Person in connection with such Permitted Disposition (provided that in the case of proceeds from a Permitted
            Disposition of newly delivered miners from “Minerva” which were ordered and paid for in cash prior to August 16, 2022, to the extent the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have at least 35,000 or more “miners” at such time the mandatory prepayment
            shall be at the rate of 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds and if the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have fewer than 35,000 “miners”, the prepayment amount shall be 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds) to the extent that the aggregate amount of Net Cash
            Proceeds received by all Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries (and not paid to the Administrative Agent as a prepayment of the Term Loans) shall exceed for all such Permitted Dispositions $1,000,000 in any Fiscal Year (provided that such
            $1,000,000 exclusion shall not apply with respect to the required prepayment from proceeds of sale of Dispositions permitted under clause (l) of the definition of “Permitted Disposition”).  Nothing contained in this subsection (iv) shall permit
            any Loan Party to make a Disposition of any property other than in accordance with Section 7.02(c)(ii).

       

      
        55

        
          

      

      (v)          Notwithstanding
            the foregoing, with respect to Net Cash Proceeds received by any Loan Party in connection with a Permitted Disposition or the receipt of Extraordinary Receipts consisting of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards that are otherwise required
            to be used to prepay the Obligations such Permitted Dispositions and Extraordinary Receipts shall not be required to be so used to prepay the Obligations to the extent that such Net Cash Proceeds and Extraordinary Receipts are used to acquire,
            replace, repair or restore properties or assets used in the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ business, provided that, (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
            is continuing on the date such Person receives such Net Cash Proceeds or Extraordinary Receipts, (B) the Borrower delivers a certificate to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days (or such longer time as the Administrative Agent
            shall permit in its sole discretion) after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or Extraordinary Receipts resulting from such Disposition or loss, destruction or taking, as the case may be, stating that such Net Cash Proceeds or Extraordinary
            Receipts shall be used to acquire, replace, repair or restore properties or assets used in such Person’s business within a period specified in such certificate not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of receipt of such
            Net Cash Proceeds, (C) pending any such reinvestment, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be deposited in an account subject to an Account Control Agreement, and (D) upon the earlier of (1) the expiration of the period specified in the relevant
            certificate furnished to the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (B) above or (2) the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, such Net Cash Proceeds, if not theretofore so used, shall be used to prepay the Obligations in accordance
            with Section 2.05(c)(vi).

       

      (vi)          Application of Payments.  Each prepayment pursuant to subsections (c)(i), (c)(ii),
            (c)(iii), and (c)(iv) above shall be applied to the Term Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, pro rata as between the Initial
            Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loans (if any)), until paid in full.  Prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to subsections (c)(ii), (c)(iii)
            and (c)(iv) shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal of the Term Loans (including the final payment of the Term Loans on the Final Maturity Date) in the
            inverse order of maturity.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Administrative Agent has elected, or has been directed by the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders, to
            apply payments in respect of any Obligations in accordance with Section 4.03(b), prepayments required under Section 2.05(c) shall

            be applied in the manner set forth in Section 4.03(b).

            

          

      (d)    Interest, Fees and Prepayment Premium.  Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by
            (i) accrued interest in cash on the principal amount being prepaid to the date of prepayment, (ii) any Funding Loss (if any) payable pursuant to Section 2.09(e) and (iii) the
            applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, shall be payable in connection with such voluntary or mandatory prepayment under Sections 2.05(b), Section 2.05(c)(ii) and Section 2.05(c)(iv) of the Term Loans.

            

          

      
        56

        
          

      

      (e)    Cumulative Prepayments.  Payments with respect to any subsection of this Section 2.05 are without duplication of payments made
            or required to be made under any other subsection of this Section 2.05.

       

      (f)     Notice of Mandatory Amortization Amounts.  The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any event giving rise to the obligation to make a payment of a Mandatory
            Amortization Amount under Section 2.05(c) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such payment, and each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment, provide a
            reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such payment and contain the Prepayment Premium (if any) applicable thereto.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the contents of any such payment notice so received from
            the Borrower, including the date on which such prepayment is to be made.

       

      Section 2.06          Fees and Prepayment Premium.

       

      (a)    Fee Letter.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, the fees and premiums set forth in the Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times specified therein (including, without
            limitation, the Prepayment Premium).

       

      (b)    Additional Fees.  On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, the fees and expenses of counsel to the Lenders and the Agent.

       

      Section 2.07          Taxes

       

      (a)     Any

            and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as
            determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such
            deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan
            Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction and withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section

                2.07) the applicable Recipient receives the amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

       

      (b)     Each

            Loan Party shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.

       

      (c)     The

            Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid or
            payable by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
            asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower 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.

       

      
        57

        
          

      

      (d)

       

      (i)            Any Lender
            that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or
            the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In
            addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable
            the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion,
            execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.07(d)(ii)(A), (ii)B)
            and (ii)D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
            expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

       

      (ii)           Without
            limiting the generality of the foregoing,

       

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

       

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

       

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

       

      
        58

        
          

      

         2.           executed
            copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

       

         3.          in the case
            of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a
            “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

       

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

       

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

       

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

       

      (iii)         On or before
            the date on which Whitehawk Capital and any successor Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Administrative Agent is
            exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

       

      
        59

        
          

      

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

       

      (e)     Each

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

       

      (f)      If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.07
            (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.07), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
            indemnity payments made under this Section 2.07 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such
            indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified
            party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such
            Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would
            place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and
            the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its
            Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

       

      (g)    Each

            party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
            or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

       

      
        60

        
          

      

      (h)     As

            soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, 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.

       

      (i)      For purposes of this Section, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

       

      Section 2.08          Tax Treatment.

       

      The parties hereto agree (a) that the Term Loans shall be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (b) that the Term Loans are not
        governed by the rules set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4, and (c) to adhere to this Agreement for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not to file any tax return inconsistent herewith.  The inclusion of this Section 2.08 is not an admission by any Lender that it is subject to U.S. taxation.

       

      Section 2.09          Increased Costs and Reduced Return.

       

      (a)     If

            any Change in Law shall (i) subject any Secured Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to this
            Agreement or any Term Loan made by such Agent or such Lender, (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against any Term Loan or against assets of or held by, or deposits with or for the account
            of, or credit extended by, such Secured Party or any Person controlling such Secured Party or (iii) impose on such Secured Party or any Person controlling such Secured Party any other condition regarding this Agreement or any Term Loan, and the
            result of any event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase the cost to such Secured Party of making any Term Loan or agreeing to make any Term Loan, or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Secured
            Party hereunder, then, upon demand by such Secured Party, the Borrower shall pay to such Secured Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Secured Party for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

       

      (b)    If

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

       

      
        61

        
          

      

      (c)     All

            amounts payable under this Section 2.09 shall bear interest from the date of demand by any Secured Party until payment in full to such Secured Party at the Reference Rate.  A
            certificate of such Secured Party claiming compensation under this Section 2.09, specifying the event herein above described and the nature of such event shall be submitted by such
            Secured Party to the Borrower, setting forth the additional amount due and an explanation of the calculation thereof, and such Secured Party’s reasons for invoking the provisions of this Section
                2.09, and shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error.

       

      (d)    Failure

            or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.09 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 2.09 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months 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 nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the
            period of retroactive effect thereof).

       

      (e)     The

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

       

      Section 2.10          Inability to Determine Rates; or Illegality.  Subject to Section 2.11, if, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period
            for any SOFR Loan:

       

      (a)          the Administrative Agent determines
            (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

       

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

       

      then in case of clause (a) or clause (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Upon notice thereof by the
        Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Reference Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR
        Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a
        borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or
        conversion to Reference Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Reference Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period.  Upon any such conversion,
        the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.12. Subject to Section 2.11, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any
        given day, the interest rate on Reference Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Reference Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

       

      
        62

        
          

      

      (c)          If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans
              whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR
              Reference Rate or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (i) any
              obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert Reference Rate Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended, and (ii) the interest rate on which Reference Rate Loans shall, if
              necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Reference Rate”, in each case until each affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
              that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
              prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to Reference Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Reference Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c)
              of the definition of “Reference Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to
              maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, in each case until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by each affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the
            Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with
            any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.12.

       

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

       

      
        63

        
          

      

      Section 2.11           SOFR Option.

       

      (a)     The

            Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to have interest on all or a portion of the Term Loans be charged at a rate of interest based upon the Term SOFR
            (the “SOFR Option”) by notifying the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days prior to (i) the proposed borrowing date of a Term Loan
            (as provided in Section 2.02), (ii) in the case of the conversion of a Reference Rate Loan to a SOFR Loan, the commencement of the proposed Interest Period or (iii) in the case of the
            continuation of a SOFR Loan as a SOFR Loan (the “SOFR Deadline”).  Notice of the Borrower’s election of the SOFR Option for a permitted portion of the Term Loans and an Interest Period
            pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) shall be made by delivery to the Administrative Agent of (A) a Notice of Borrowing (in the case of the initial making of a Term Loan) in accordance
            with Section 2.02 or (B) a written notice (“SOFR Notice”) prior to the SOFR Deadline.  Promptly upon its receipt of each
            such SOFR Notice, the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the Lenders.  Each SOFR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

       

      (b)    Interest

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

       

      (c)     Notwithstanding

            anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower (i) shall have not more than two (2) SOFR Loans in effect at any given time, and (ii) only may exercise the SOFR Option for SOFR Loans of at least $2,500,000 and integral
            multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

       

      (d)    Notwithstanding

            anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is
            determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect
            of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance
            with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting
            at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to,
            this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.  If the Benchmark Replacement
            is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a monthly basis.

       

      
        64

        
          

      

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

       

      (f)    Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use,
            administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a
              Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.11(g) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of
              Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.11, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event,
            circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to
            this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11.

       

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

       

      (h)     Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a SOFR
            Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a
            Borrowing of or conversion to Reference Rate Loans.  During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or
            such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Reference Rate.

       

      
        65

        
          

      

      Section 2.12          Compensation for Losses.  In the event of (a)  the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the
            last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of
            Default), or (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for any loss, cost and expense
            attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to
            receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

      ARTICLE IV

       

      PAYMENTS AND OTHER COMPENSATION

       

      Section 4.01          Payments; Computations and Statements.  (a) The Borrower will make each payment under this Agreement not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due, in lawful money of the
            United States of America and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent’s Account.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day shall, in the Administrative Agent’s
            discretion, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of
            principal and interest ratably to the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of
            this Agreement.  All payments shall be made by the Borrower without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or other defense to the Agents and the Lenders.  Whenever any payment to be made under any such Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a
            day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of SOFR Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the
            immediately preceding Business Day.  All computations of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
            period for which such fees are payable.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error.

       

      
        66

        
          

      

      (b)     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 applicable Lenders, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower did not
            in fact make such payment, then each of the applicable 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 by the Administrative Agent to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the
            Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.

       

      Section 4.02           Sharing of Payments, Defaulting Lenders, Etc.

       

      (a)     The

            Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, the
            Administrative Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Commitments (but only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s Loan was funded by the other Lenders) or, if so
            directed by the Borrower and if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s Loan was not funded by the other Lenders), retain the same to be re-advanced to the Borrower as if such
            Defaulting Lender had made such Loans to the Borrower.  Subject to the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments
            received and retained by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender.  This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until (x) the Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification
            Obligations) under this Agreement shall have been declared or shall have become immediately due and payable, (y) the non-Defaulting Lenders, the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall have waived such Defaulting Lender’s default in
            writing, or (z) the Defaulting Lender makes its Pro Rata Share of the applicable defaulted Loan and pays to the Administrative Agent all amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender in respect thereof.  The operation of this Section shall not be
            construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by the
            Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender.  Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of
            this Agreement and shall entitle the Borrower at its option, subject to the written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to permanently replace the Defaulting Lender with one or more substitute
            Lenders (each, a “Replacement Lender”), and the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder.  Notice from the Borrower to the Agents effecting their right
            to replace the Defaulting Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date such notice is given.  Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the
            Defaulting Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Defaulting Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without any premium or penalty of any kind
            whatsoever.  If the Defaulting Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such
            Assignment and Acceptance.  The replacement of any Defaulting Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 12.07(b).  Any such assumption of the Commitment of such
            Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lenders’ or the Borrower’s rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund.

       

      
        67

        
          

      

      (b)    Except

            as provided in Section 2.02 or Section 12.07, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary,
            through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of similar obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the
            other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender
            the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
            purchasing Lender of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered); provided, the provisions of this Section 4.02(b) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including, without
            limitation, as provided in Section 2.05 and the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender)  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
            participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 4.02(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including the Lender’s right of set-off)
            with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

       

      Section 4.03          Apportionment of Payments.  Subject to Section 2.02 or Section 12.07 hereof and to any written agreement among the Agents
            and/or the Lenders:

       

      (a)    all

            payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments of fees (other than the fees set forth in Sections 2.06 and 7.01(f) hereof) and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata
            Shares or otherwise as provided herein or, in respect of payments not made on account of Loans, as designated by the Person making payment when the payment is made.

       

      
        68

        
          

      

      (b)     After

            the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall (or in the case of an acceleration of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall), apply
            all proceeds of the Collateral and all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations (i) first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due
            and payable to the Agents until paid in full; (ii) second, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees (other than any Prepayment Premium) and indemnities then due and payable to the Lenders until paid in full; (iii) third, ratably to
            pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Term Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, pro rata as between the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loans (if any)) until paid in full; (iv) fourth, ratably to pay principal of the
            Term Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, pro rata as between the Initial Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loans (if any)) until paid in full; (v) fifth, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any Prepayment Premium then due and payable
            to the Lenders until paid in full; and (vi) sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable.

       

      (c)     The

            term “paid in full” means payment in cash of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents, including all principal, loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any
            Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, Prepayment Premium and expense reimbursements, whether or not same would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.

        73

        
          

      

      (b)     Authorization, Etc.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which it is or will be a party, (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary

      (d)     Enforceability of Loan Documents.  This Agreement is, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is or will be a party, when delivered hereunder, will be, a legal, valid and

            been accurate based upon the information available to the Loan Parties at the time such Projections was furnished to the Lenders, and the Loan Parties are not aware of any facts or information that would lead them to believe that such
            Projections were incorrect or misleading in any material respect as of the Effective Date; it being understood that (1) projections are by their nature subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Loan
            Parties’ control, (2) actual results may differ materially from the projections and such variations may be material and (3) the projections are not a guarantee of performance.

            utility rate regulation or financial or organizational regulation or with respect to the FERC regulations implementing PURPA and PUHCA, and no Loan Party is aware of any facts or circumstances which could reasonably be expected to give rise to
            such a complaint or administrative proceeding in the future.

           

          (v)           As of the Effective Date and the date of each Term Loan borrowing hereunder, no approval is required from any state or federal Governmental

            by any other Loan Document, except as may be required under Section 203 of the FPA and Part 292 of the regulations of the FERC upon exercise by a Secured Party of certain remedies allowed under the Loan Documents.

          (i)             FERC Regulations.

           

            (A)          As of the Effective Date, each Project is a QF, and each Project Company (i) is subject to the jurisdiction of FERC as a “public utility”
            under the FPA and (ii) has MBR Authority.  No Loan Party, other than the Project Companies, is subject to, or not exempt from, regulation as a “public utility” under the FPA.

           

            (B)          Each Loan Party is exempt from FERC regulation regarding access to books and records, accounting, record-retention and reporting

          (ii)         Secured Parties Not Subject to Regulation.  None of the Secured Parties and no affiliate (as that
            term is defined in Section 1262(1) of PUHCA) of any of them, is, solely as a result of the Borrower’s ownership or operating of the Projects, the sale or transmission of electricity from the Projects or the entering into of any Loan Document or
            any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby by such Secured Party, (i) subject to regulation as a “public utility” under the FPA, (ii) subject to, or not exempt from, regulation as a “holding company” under PUHCA, or (iii) subject to utility
            rate regulation or utility  financial or organizational regulation by the Pennsylvania PUC, except that (w) if any Secured Party otherwise is a “holding company” as defined in PUHCA, the purchase, acquisition or taking by such Secured Party of
            a “security” (as defined in Section 3(16) of the FPA) of the Borrower, because the Borrower is an “electric utility company” as defined in PUHCA, may be subject to Section 203(a)(2) of the FPA (provided that such Secured Party may be
            eligible for a blanket authorization granted pursuant to 18 C.F.R. § 33.1(c), if such acquisition meets the criteria of a blanket authorization), (x) if any Secured Party is otherwise a “public utility,” as defined in Section 201(e) of the FPA,
            such Secured Party may be subject to Section 203(a)(1)(C) of the FPA with respect to the purchase, acquisition or taking by such Secured Party of a “security” (as defined in Section 3(16) of the FPA) in, or issued by the Borrower or Project
            Company, as applicable, that is a “public utility” under the FPA, (y) upon exercise by a Secured Party of certain remedies allowed under the Loan Documents, such Secured Party and its affiliates (as that term is defined in Section 1262(1) of
            PUHCA) may become subject to regulation under the FPA or PUHCA, or both the FPA and PUHCA, to the extent such entity becomes an owner or operator of, or controls, the Borrower or any Project’s FERC-jurisdictional facilities or contracts, and
            (z) such exercise of remedies in any Loan Document by a Secured Party or any of its successors or assigns may require prior approval of FERC under Section 203 of the FPA.

            Project Company that could reasonably be expected to materially affect such Project or impose material incremental expenses on Borrower or such Project, (y) alleging a violation of the regulations of FERC or the Pennsylvania PUC, including any
            threat or claim with respect to the loss of QF status of either Project or the loss of MBR Authority, or (z) alleging a violation of the regulations of any other Governmental Authority, where such violation could reasonably be expected to

            required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 7.01(a)(i) or (ii) are included in materials and/or documents otherwise publicly filed with the SEC, there shall be no further delivery requirement under Sections 7.01(a)(i)
            or (ii) and any such materials and/or documents shall be deemed to be delivered on the earliest of (i) the date on which the Borrower posts such materials and/or documents and provides a link thereto on Borrower’s website on the
            Internet or (ii) on which date such materials and/or documents are posted on the Borrower’s behalf on www.sec.gov, or on any other Internet or internet website, if any, to which, each Lender and the
            Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent), and, in each case, the Administrative Agent has been provided written notification of such posting.

            file claims under any insurance policies, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that
            may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies.

          (j)     one or more judgments, orders or awards (or any settlement of any litigation or other proceeding that, if breached, could
            without further action by any court result in a judgment, order or award) for the payment of money exceeding $500,000 in the aggregate, shall be rendered against any Loan Party and remain unpaid, undischarged or unsatisfied and either (i)

          (p)    at any time, the Loan Parties lose their ability or license or right to sell electrical power produced at the Project in the

          AGENTS

           

          Section 10.01         Appointment.

           

          (a)    Each Lender (and each subsequent maker of any Term Loan by its making thereof) hereby appoints Whitehawk Capital to act on its
            behalf as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to perform the duties of each such Agent as set forth in this
            Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including:  (i) to receive on behalf of each Lender any payment of principal of or interest on the Term Loans outstanding
            hereunder and all other amounts accrued hereunder for the account of the Lenders and paid to such Agent, and, subject to Section 2.02, to distribute promptly to each Lender its Pro Rata Share of all payments so received; (ii) to
            distribute to each Lender copies of all material notices and agreements received by such Agent and not required to be delivered to each Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, provided that the Agents shall not have any liability to the
            Lenders for any Agent’s inadvertent failure to distribute any such notices or agreements to the Lenders; (iii) to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the
            Term Loans, and related matters and to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Collateral and related matters; (iv) to execute or file any and all financing or similar
            statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (v) to make the Term Loans for such Agent or on
            behalf of the applicable Lenders as provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vi) to perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lenders with respect to the Loan Parties, the Obligations, or
            otherwise related to any of same to the extent reasonably incidental to the exercise by such Agent of the rights and remedies specifically authorized to be exercised by such Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (vii)
            to incur and pay such fees necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (viii) subject to Section 10.03, to take such action as such
            Agent deems appropriate on its behalf to administer the Term Loans and the Loan Documents and to exercise such other powers delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the power to
            give or to refuse to give notices, waivers, consents, approvals and instructions and the power to make or to refuse to make determinations and calculations); and (ix) to act with respect to all Collateral under the Loan Documents, including 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.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
            (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Term Loans).

           

          
            114

            
              

          

          (b)   The Administrative Agent shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby
            irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest, charge or other Lien created by the Loan Documents for and on behalf of or in trust for) 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.  Without limiting the
            generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent as Collateral Agent to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with
            respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by any Agent shall bind the Lenders.

           

          (c)    The Agents shall not be required to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary
            rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral 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 ), and such instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of Lenders) shall be binding upon all Lenders and all makers of Loans; provided, however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent
            or the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law.

           

          (d)    Any corporation or association into which any Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to
            which it may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or
            transfer to which such Agent is a party, will be and become the successor Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and will have and succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its predecessor, without the execution or
            filing of any instrument or paper or the performance of any further act.

           

          
            115

            
              

          

          Section 10.02        Nature of Duties; Delegation.  The Agents shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this
            Agreement or in the other Loan Documents.  The duties of the Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature.  The Agents shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any
            Lender, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Agents any
            obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.  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 shall make its own independent
            investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties in connection with the making and the continuance of the Term Loans hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and the value of
            the Collateral without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and neither the Agents nor any of their Related Parties shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a
            continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into their possession before the initial Loan hereunder or at any time or times thereafter.  Each Lender acknowledges that the
            Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their Affiliates have not made any representation or warranty to it, other than any such representations or warranties expressly provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document.  Except for
            documents or other information expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or
            responsibility (either express or implied) to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning any Loan Party, including the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any
            Loan Party or Affiliate of a Loan Party, that may come in to the possession of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their Affiliates.  Each Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its
            rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Loan Document by or through any of its Related Parties or any other trustee, co-agent, sub-agent or Person (including any
            Lender).  The exculpatory provisions of this Article X and the indemnity provisions of Section 12.15 shall apply to any such trustee, co-agent, sub-agent or Person and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
            Agent and any such trustee, co-agent, sub-agent or Person, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with activities as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent
            shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any of its trustees, co-agents, sub-agents, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent or
            the Collateral Agent, as applicable, acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such trustees, co-agents or sub-agents, as applicable.

           

          
            116

            
              

          

          Section 10.03        Rights, Exculpation, Etc.  The Agents and their Related Parties shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken
            by them (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
            necessary, under the circumstances provided in Section 9.01 or Section 12.02) or (ii) except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
            jurisdiction.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents (i) may treat the payee of any Term Loan as the owner thereof until such Loan has been transferred to a transferee pursuant to and in accordance with Section 12.07
            hereof; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to any Agent or counsel to the Loan Parties), independent public accountants, and other experts selected by any of them and shall not be liable for any action
            taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by any of them in accordance with the advice of such counsel or experts; (iii) make no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements,
            certificates, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iv) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of
            the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Person, the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default, or to inspect the Collateral or other property (including,
            without limitation, the books and records) of any Person; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
            any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (vi) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the, value, sufficiency or collectability of the Collateral, the creation, existence,
            priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Agents be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any
            portion of the Collateral and (vii) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items
            expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  The Agents shall not be liable
            for any apportionment or distribution of payments made in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made,
            shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).  The Agents may at
            any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents the Agents are permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such
            instructions are promptly requested, the Agents shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval under any of the Loan Documents until they shall have received such instructions from the Required
            Lenders (unless unanimity is required) and, if they so request, the Agents shall first be indemnified to their satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by reason of taking or continuing to take
            any such action.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in
            accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (unless unanimity is required).  The Agents 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 or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates in any
            capacity.  The Agents shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless the Agents shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement,
            describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”

           

          
            117

            
              

          

          In no event shall any Agent be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of their respective obligations under this Agreement or any related documents because of circumstances beyond
            such Agent’s control, including, but not limited to, a failure, termination or suspension of a clearing house, securities depositary, settlement system or central payment system in any applicable part of the world or acts of God, flood, war
            (whether declared or undeclared), civil or military disturbances or hostilities, nuclear or natural catastrophes, political unrest, explosion, severe weather or accident, earthquake, terrorism, fire, riot, labor disturbances, strikes or work
            stoppages for any reason, embargo, government action, including any laws, ordinance, regulations or the like (whether domestic, federal, state, county or municipal or foreign) which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of services
            contemplated by this Agreement or any related documents, or the unavailability of communications or computer facilities, the failure of equipment or interruption of communications or computer facilities, or the unavailability of the Federal
            Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility, or any other causes beyond the Agent’s control whether or not of the same class or kind as specified above. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require
            the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder.

           

          The Agents shall have no obligation for (a) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the security interest or Lien granted under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan
            Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby; (b) the filing, re-filing, recording, re-recording, or continuing of any document, financing statement, mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance, or
            other instrument in any public office at any time or times; or (c) providing, maintaining, monitoring, or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to any Collateral.

           

          Section 10.04      Reliance.  Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any written notices,
            statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this
            Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to
            the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of
            such Loan.

           

          
            118

            
              

          

          Section 10.05     Indemnification.  To the extent that any Agent or any Related Party of the foregoing is not reimbursed and indemnified by any Loan
            Party (and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), the Lenders will indemnify and hold harmless such Agent and such Related Parties from and against any and all Agent Indemnified Matters of any kind or nature whatsoever
            which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent and such Related Parties in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable indemnity payment is sought (or if such indemnity payment
            is sought after the date on which the Term Loans have been paid in full and the Commitments have terminated, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares immediately prior to the date on which the Term Loans are paid in full and the
            Commitments have terminated)); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Agent Indemnified Matters for which there has been a final non-appealable judicial determination
            that such liability resulted from such Agent’s or such Related Parties gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, further, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the
            Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be provided by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for the purposes of this Section 10.05.  In the case of any
            investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Agent Indemnified Matters, this Section 10.05 shall apply whether or not any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person.  Without
            limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agents upon demand for its Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable reimbursement is sought (or if such reimbursement payment is sought after the date on which the
            Term Loans have been paid in full and the Commitments have terminated, in accordance with its Pro Rata Shares immediately prior to the date on which the Term Loans are paid in full and the Commitments have terminated)) of any costs or
            out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Agents in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through
            negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agents are
            not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Loan Parties; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect
            thereto; provided further, that failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse the Agents shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation in respect thereof.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the
            Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to such Lender from any source
            against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this Section 10.05.  The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Term Loans and the termination of
            this Agreement.

           

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

          Section 10.07       Successor Agent.

           

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

           

          (b)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable, (i) the retiring Agent shall be
            discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by such Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to
            hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such retiring Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender
            directly, until such time, if any, as a successor Agent shall have been appointed as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s Agent’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of
            the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.  After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder
            and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article, Section 12.04 and Section 12.05 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 it while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

           

          Section 10.08       Collateral Matters.

           

          (a)    The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to (1) release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent
            upon any Collateral (i) in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents; (ii) upon termination of all Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all Term Loans and all other Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof; or (iii)
            (x) constituting property being sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of any Loan Party’s business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (y) constituting property in which the Loan
            Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (z) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lenders or (2) subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or sold by the Collateral Agent to
            the holder of any Lien on property that is permitted to be subordinated pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Liens”.  Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders shall confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to
            release or subordinate particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

           

          
            120

            
              

          

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

           

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

           

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

           

          
            121

            
              

          

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

           

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

           

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

           

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

           

          
            122

            
              

          

          (a)    is deemed to have requested that each Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each inspection
            report (if any) with respect to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (each, a “Report”) prepared by or at the request of such Agent, and each Agent shall so furnish each Lender with each such Report,

           

          (b)    expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Agents (i) do not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any
            Reports, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Reports,

           

          (c)     expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that any Agent or other party
            performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on
            representations of their personnel,

           

          (d)    agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and
            their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 12.20, and

           

          (e)    without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees:  (i) to hold any
            Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit
            accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of the Borrower, and (ii) to pay and protect, and
            indemnify, defend and hold any Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by any such
            Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

           

          Section 10.13         Collateral Custodian.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent or its
            designee may at any time and from time to time employ and maintain on the premises of any Loan Party a custodian selected by the Collateral Agent or its designee who shall have full authority to do all acts necessary to protect the Agents’ and
            the Lenders’ interests.  Each Loan Party hereby agrees to, and to cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate with any such custodian and to do whatever the Collateral Agent or its designee may reasonably request to preserve the Collateral.

           

          Section 10.14         Collateral Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other
            judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Collateral 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 any Agent
            shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

           

          
            123

            
              

          

          (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 Secured Parties (including any claim for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
            of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) 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;

           

          (c)    and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
            proceeding is hereby authorized by each Secured Party to make such payments to the Collateral Agent and, in the event that the Collateral Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, to pay to the
            Collateral Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan
            Documents.

           

          Section 10.15       Withholding Taxes.  To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any
            payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax.  If the United States Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from
            amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the
            exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable
            withholding Tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise,
            including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by
            the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent a manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
            against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.15. The agreements in this Section 10.15 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or replacement
            of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

          ARTICLE XI

           

          GUARANTY

           

          Section 11.01       Guaranty.  Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally and unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when
            due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, whether for principal, interest (including, without limitation, all interest that accrues after
            the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding of any Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing interest is allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding), fees, commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications or otherwise (such
            obligations, to the extent not paid by the Borrower, being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay (without duplication of any amounts payable under Section 12.04) any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses
            (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one outside counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) incurred by the Agents and the Lenders in enforcing any rights under the guaranty set forth in this
            ARTICLE XI.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower to the Agents and the Lenders under any
            Loan Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving any Borrower.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Guaranteed Obligations shall not include any Excluded
            Hedge Liabilities.  In no event shall the obligation of any Guarantor hereunder exceed the maximum amount such Guarantor could guarantee under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

           

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

           

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

           

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

           

          
            125

            
              

          

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

           

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

           

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

           

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

           

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

           

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

           

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

           

          
            126

            
              

          

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

           

          Section 11.06       Contribution.  All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising
            under this Guaranty.  Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Guarantor shall be entitled to a
            contribution from each of the other Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date.

           

          (a)    “Fair Share” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to the sum of (a) its
            pro rata portion of the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by any Guarantor under this Guaranty in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and (b) its pro rata portion of Deficits with respect to the other Guarantors, if
            any, in each case subject to its Maximum Contribution Amount (such amounts under clauses (a) or (b) in excess of the Maximum Contribution Amount with respect to any Guarantor, “Deficits”).

           

          
            127

            
              

          

          (b)    “Maximum Contribution Amount” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate
            amount of the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any
            comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Maximum Contribution Amount” with respect to any Guarantor for purposes of this Section 11.06,
            any assets or liabilities of such Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such
            Guarantor.

           

          (c)    “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (A) the
            aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 11.06), minus (B) the aggregate amount of
            all payments received on or before such date by such Guarantor from the other Guarantors as contributions under this Section 11.06.  The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related
            payment or distribution is made by the applicable Guarantor.  The allocation among Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 11.06 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Guarantor hereunder. 
            Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 11.06.

            decline to accept any or all notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications.

           

          (c)    Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (A) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be
            deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (B) notices or communications
            posted to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (A), of notification that such notice or communication is available
            and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (A) and (B) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the
            recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

           

          (i)          The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to
            the Lenders by posting the Communications on DebtDomain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

           

          
            129

            
              

          

          (ii)          The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and
            expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party
            rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform.  In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent
              Parties”) have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or
            otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform.  “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material
            provided by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section,
            including through Platform.

           

          Section 12.02         Amendments, Etc.

           

          (a)    No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (excluding the Fee Letter), and no consent
            to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed (x) in the case of an amendment, consent or waiver to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or granting
            a new Lien for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders or extending an existing Lien over additional property, by the Agents and the Borrower, and (y) in the case of any other amendment, consent or waiver, by the Required Lenders (or by the
            Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
            purpose for which given, provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender, reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Term Loans payable to any Lender, reduce the amount
            of any fee payable for the account of each Lender, or postpone or extend any scheduled date fixed for any payment (which shall in no event include any mandatory prepayment) of principal of, or interest or fees on, the Term Loans without the
            written consent of any Lender affected thereby, (ii) change any term or provision herein to permit open market purchases, permitted debt exchanges or other similar type transaction that would permit the purchase or repurchase of the Term Loans
            in an amount other than as set forth in “Pro Rata Share” without the consent of each Lender, (iii) change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans that is required for the Lenders or any of
            them to take any action hereunder without the written consent of each Lender, (iv) amend the definition of “Excluded Hedge Liability” (or any defined term used therein or any provision expressly relating to Excluded Hedge Liabilities),
            “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” without the written consent of each Lender, (v) release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), or release any Borrower
            or any Guarantor without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) amend, modify or waive Section 4.04 or this Section 12.02 of this Agreement without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) amend the definition of Borrowing
            Base or any component definition of Borrowing Base or any advance rate without the prior written consent of each Lender or (viii) subordinate (x) the Liens securing any of the Obligations to the Liens securing any other Indebtedness or other
            obligations or (y) any Obligations in contractual right of payment to any other Indebtedness or other obligations (any such other Indebtedness or other obligations, to which such Liens securing any of the Obligations or such Obligations, as
            applicable, are subordinated, “Senior Indebtedness”), in either the case of subclause (x) or (y), unless each adversely affected Lender has been offered a bona fide opportunity to fund or otherwise provide its pro rata share (based on
            the amount of Obligations that are adversely affected thereby held by each Lender) of the Senior Indebtedness on the same terms (other than reimbursement of counsel fees and other professional expenses in connection with the negotiation of the
            terms of such transaction; such fees and expenses, “Ancillary Fees”) as offered to all other providers (or their Affiliates) of the Senior Indebtedness and to the extent such adversely affected Lender decides to participate in the Senior
            Indebtedness, receive its pro rata share of the fees and any other similar benefit (other than Ancillary Fees) of the Senior Indebtedness afforded to the providers of the Senior Indebtedness (or any of their Affiliates) in connection with
            providing the Senior Indebtedness pursuant to a written offer made to each such adversely affected Lender describing the material terms of the arrangements pursuant to which the Senior Indebtedness is to be provided, which offer shall remain
            open to each adversely affected Lender for a period of not less than five (5) Business Days from the date such Lender is initially contacted.

           

          
            130

            
              

          

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by an Agent, affect the rights or duties of such Agent under this Agreement or the other
            Loan Documents, (B) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Final Maturity Date of such Loan held by the Defaulting Lender may not be extended without the
            consent of such Defaulting Lender, (C) [reserved], (D) for the purposes of voting on amendments, waivers and consents with respect to the Loan Documents, except as provided in clause (B) above, the Defaulting Lenders shall be deemed not to be
            “Lenders” and the Term Loans held by the Defaulting Lenders shall be deemed to be zero and (E) any amendment or modification to the Fee Letter, or waiver of any rights or privileges thereunder, shall only require the consent of the Borrower and
            the Agents party thereto.

           

          (b)    Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement and whether or not the Borrower or the Guarantors are in bankruptcy, all Lenders
            will have the right to participate their Pro Rata Share in any additional capital invested by any of the other Lenders on the same terms as any other Lender (other than Ancillary Fees) if such new capital is (i) pari passu or senior in right of
            lien priority on any of the assets of Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries as compared to the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents or (ii) has a contractual right of payment that is pari
            passu or senior to (x) the Obligations or (y) any security or loan received from or in exchange for the Term Loans.  The offer to participate in any such transaction for a Lender will be available for a period of at least five (5) Business Days
            from when such Lender has been contacted about such new capital.

           

          
            131

            
              

          

          (c)    If (A)(i) any action to be taken by the Lenders hereunder requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all of
            the Lenders, (ii) the Required Lenders have consented to such action and (iii) a Lender other than the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, fails to give its consent, authorization, or agreement, or (B) any Lender requests reimbursement
            under Section 2.07 or Section 2.09 (each of the Lenders described in clauses (A) and (B), a “Holdout Lender”), then the Borrower upon at least five (5) Business Days prior irrevocable notice to the Holdout Lender, may
            permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more substitute Replacement Lenders reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder; provided that, in the case of any replacement resulting from a request for reimbursement described in clause (B) above, the replacement will result in a reduction in the reimbursement requested under Section

              2.07 or Section 2.09. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date such notice is given.  Prior to the
            effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and the Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without any
            premium or penalty.  If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such
            Assignment and Acceptance.  The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 12.07(b).  Until such time as the Replacement Lender shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments,
            and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loans.

           

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

          Section 12.04     Expenses; Attorneys’ Fees.  The Borrower shall pay promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of an
            invoice, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of each Agent and the Lenders (and, without duplication, in the case of clauses (b) through (j) below, each Lender), regardless of whether the

            any additional Loan Documents pursuant to Section 7.01(b) or the review of any of the agreements, instruments and documents referred to in Section 7.01(f)), (b) any requested amendments, waivers or consents to this Agreement or
            the other Loan Documents whether or not such documents become effective or are given, (c) the preservation and protection of the Agents’ or any of the Lenders’ rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (d) the defense of any
            claim or action asserted or brought against any Agent or any Lender by any Person that arises from or relates to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Agents’ or the Lenders’ claims against any Loan Party under the Loan Documents, or any
            and all matters in connection therewith, (e) the commencement or defense of, or intervention in, any court proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (f) the filing of any petition, complaint, answer,
            motion or other pleading by any Agent or any Lender, or the taking of any action in respect of the Collateral, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (g) the protection, collection, lease, sale, taking possession of or

            (n) the receipt by any Agent or, in the case of clauses (b) through (i) above, any Lender of any advice from professionals with respect to any of the foregoing.  Without limitation of the foregoing or any other provision of any Loan Document:
            (x) the Borrower agrees to pay all broker fees that may become due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (y) if the Borrower fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained
            herein or in any other Loan Document, any Agent may itself (but shall not be required to) perform or cause performance of such covenant or agreement, and the expenses of such Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be reimbursed on demand
            by the Borrower.  In addition, the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all out-of-pocket administrative, audit and monitory expenses incurred in connection with the Borrowing Base and determinations thereunder.  The
            obligations of the Borrower under this Section 12.04 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

           

          Section 12.05       Right of Set-off.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any Agent or any Lender may, and is
            hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party (any such notice being expressly waived by the Loan Parties) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, set off and apply any and all deposits (general
            or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent or such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all obligations of the Loan Parties
            either now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application
            in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and (b) the
            Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off.  Each Agent and each Lender agrees
            to notify such Loan Party (and in the case of a set-off by a Lender, the Administrative Agent) promptly after any such set-off and application made by such Agent or such Lender provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
            validity of such set-off and application.  The rights of the Agents and the Lenders under this Section 12.05 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Agents and the Lenders may have
            under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents of law or otherwise.

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

           

          Section 12.07         Assignments and Participations.

           

          (a)    This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party and each Agent and
            each Lender and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the Loan Parties may assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents without the
            prior written consent of each Lender and the Administrative Agent and any such assignment without the Lenders’ and the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent shall be null and void and no Lender may assign or transfer any of its rights
            hereunder or under the other Loan Documents except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.07(b) and (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.07(i).

           

          (b)    Each Lender may with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, assign to one or more Eligible Transferees, in each case,
            all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitment and any portion of the Term Loans made by it; provided, however, that (i)
            any such assignment to a Disqualified Institution shall require the prior consent of the Borrower (unless a payment or bankruptcy Event of Default exists), (ii) such assignment is in an amount which is at least $500,000 or a multiple of
            $250,000 in excess thereof (or the remainder of such Lender’s Commitment) (except such minimum amount shall not apply to an assignment by a Lender to (x) a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender or (y) a group of
            new Lenders, each of whom is an Affiliate or Related Fund of each other to the extent the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders is at least $500,000 or a multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof), (iii) the parties to each such
            assignment shall execute and deliver to each Agent, an Assignment and Acceptance, and such parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided that
            the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect to waive or reduce such processing and recordation fee), (iv) any such assignment shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
            withheld or delayed); provided, that no written consent of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower shall be required (1) in connection with any assignment by a Lender to a Lender,
            an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender or (2) if such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of
            such Lender and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.07 and an Administrative Questionnaire.  Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and
            after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance and recordation in the Register, (A) the assignee thereunder shall become a “Lender” hereunder and, in addition to the rights and obligations hereunder held by it immediately
            prior to such effective date, have the rights and obligations hereunder that have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder
            have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an
            assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, no assignment shall be made at any time to any Defaulting
            Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender would constitute a Defaulting Lender.

           

          
            134

            
              

          

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

           

          
            135

            
              

          

          (d)    The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain, or cause to
            be maintained at one of its offices in the United States, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the
            Commitments of, and the principal amount of the Term Loans (and stated interest thereon) (the “Registered Loans”) owing to each Lender from time to time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
            absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the
            Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  The Register is intended to cause the Registered Loans to be in registered form within the meaning of Treasury
              Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code.

           

          (e)     Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a completed Assignment and Acceptance and the processing and recordation fee (if
            applicable) and other items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.07(b), and subject to any consent required from the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.07(b) (which consent of the
            Administrative Agent must be evidenced by the Administrative Agent’s execution of an acceptance to such Assignment and Acceptance), the Administrative Agent shall accept such assignment, record the information contained therein in the Register.

           

          (f)     A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by
            registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide).  Any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected
            only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register.  Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same), the Agents shall treat the Person in whose name
            such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered on the Register as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

           

          (g)   In the event that any Lender sells participations in a Registered Loan, such Lender shall, acting for this purpose as a
            non-fiduciary agent on behalf of the Borrower, maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register, on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the
            portion of the Registered Loan that is the subject of the participation (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the
            Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the
            extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) or proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States
            Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version).  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant
            Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no
            responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.  A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and
            each registered note shall expressly so provide).  Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.  The
            Participant Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

           

          
            136

            
              

          

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

           

          (i)    Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Eligible Transferees, in each case, in or to all or a portion of its rights
            and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments and the Term Loans made by it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s
            obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, its Commitments hereunder) and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and that any such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment or benefit
            hereunder than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant unless the sale of such participation is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent acknowledges such
            entitlement to a greater payment or benefit); (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely
            and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (iii) a participant shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action
            hereunder except (A) action directly effecting an extension of the maturity dates or decrease in the principal amount of the Term Loans, (B) action directly effecting an extension of the due dates or a decrease in the rate of interest payable
            on the Term Loans or the fees payable under this Agreement, or (C) actions directly effecting a release of all or a substantial portion of the Collateral or any Loan Party (except as set forth in Section 10.08 of this Agreement or any
            other Loan Document).  Subject to the limitations in the preceding sentence, the Loan Parties agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.07, 2.09, 2.10, 2.11 and 2.12
            subject to the obligations and limitations set forth thereunder with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Term Loans as if it was a Lender (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the
            requirements under Section 2.07(d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.07(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

           

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

           

          
            137

            
              

          

          Section 12.08        Counterparts and Execution.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
            separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by electronic mail shall be equally as
            effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.  Any party may request in writing that parties delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by electronic mail also deliver an original executed counterpart of
            this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.  The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures
            or electronic records 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 Signature in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

           

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

           

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

           

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

           

          
            138

            
              

          

          (b)        Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or
            in tort or otherwise, against any Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the
            State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof.

           

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

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

           

          Section 12.13        No Party Deemed Drafter.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that no party hereto shall be deemed to be the drafter of this
            Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the result of negotiations among the parties hereto and thereto and have been reviewed by counsel to each of the parties hereto and thereto and are the products of all parties;
            accordingly, they shall not be construed against any Agent or any Lender.

           

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

            jointly and severally, defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each Lender and all of their respective Related Parties (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities,
            obligations, penalties, fees, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of (i) one outside counsel and one local counsel to the Agents
            and the Related Parties in each relevant jurisdiction and (ii) one outside counsel and one local counsel to the other Indemnitees (taken as a whole) in each relevant jurisdiction (and, in the event of a conflict, between any relevant Secured
            Parties, conflicts counsel for each set of similarly situated Secured Parties)) incurred by such Indemnitees, whether prior to or from and after the Effective Date, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or
            relating to or in connection with any of the following:  (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution or performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or of any other document executed in connection with the transactions
            contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any Agent’s or any Lender’s furnishing of funds to the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the management of any such Loans or the Borrower’s use of the
            proceeds thereof, (iii) the Agents and the Lenders relying on any instructions of the Borrower or the handling of the Collateral as herein provided, (iv) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
            other Loan Documents or by any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (v) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether
            or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection
            (a) for any Indemnified Matter caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that do not involve an act or omission by any
            Loan Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof.  This Section 12.15(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

           

          (b)    Environmental Indemnity.  Without limiting Section 12.15(a) hereof, each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and
            severally, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Indemnitees against any and all Environmental Liabilities and Costs and all other claims, demands, penalties, fines, liability (including strict liability), losses, damages, costs and expenses
            (including, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one outside counsel and one local counsel to the Agents and their Related Parties in each relevant jurisdiction, one outside counsel and one local counsel to the other
            Indemnitees (taken as a whole)in each relevant jurisdiction, consultant fees and laboratory fees), arising out of (i) any Releases or threatened Releases (x) at any property presently or formerly owned or operated by any Loan Party or any
            Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest, or (y) of any Hazardous Materials generated and disposed of by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest; (ii) any violations of
            Environmental Laws by or relating to any Loan Party; (iii) any Environmental Action relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest; (iv) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property
            damage (real or personal) arising out of exposure to Hazardous Materials used, handled, generated, transported or disposed by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, or any predecessor in interest; and (v) any breach of any warranty
            or representation regarding environmental matters made by the Loan Parties in Section 6.01(r) or the breach of any covenant made by the Loan Parties in Section 7.01(j) (all of the foregoing, collectively, “Environmental
              Indemnified Matters”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this subsection (b) regarding any potential environmental matter covered hereunder which is caused by
            the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

           

          
            141

            
              

          

          (c)     To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 12.15 may be
            unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of
            all Indemnified Matters and Environmental Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.

           

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

           

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

           

          Section 12.16         [Reserved].

           

          Section 12.17       Records.  The unpaid principal of and interest on the Term Loans, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid
            principal and interest, the duration of such applicability, the Commitments, and the accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof, including, without limitation, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter and the Prepayment
            Premium, if any, shall at all times be ascertained from the records of the Agents, which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

           

          Section 12.18       Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Loan Party, each Agent and each
            Lender and when the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.01 hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Agents, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, each Agent and each
            Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Loan Parties shall not have the right to assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Agent and each Lender, and any
            assignment by any Lender shall be governed by Section 12.07 hereof.

           

          
            142

            
              

          

          Section 12.19       Interest.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Agent and each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws
            applicable to it.  Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would be usurious as to any Agent or any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State
            of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Agent or such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
            or any other Loan Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows:  (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any
            Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed
            the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the
            principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to the Borrower); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of
            any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any Lender may never include more than the
            maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as of the date of such acceleration or
            prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be
            paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such Lender to the Borrower).  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to
            such Agent or such Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Term Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any Term Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum
            amount allowed by such applicable law.  If at any time and from time to time (x) the amount of interest payable to any Agent or any Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender pursuant
            to this Section 12.19 and (y) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Agent or such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender
            computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest
            Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Agent or such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Agent or such Lender if the total amount
            of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 12.19.

           

          For purposes of this Section 12.19, the term “applicable law” shall mean that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the loan transaction between the Borrower, on the one
            hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this Agreement, including laws of the State of
            New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.

           

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

           

          
            143

            
              

          

          Section 12.20      Confidentiality.  Each Agent and each Lender agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its Related Parties) to use reasonable
            precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound practices of comparable banks or commercial finance companies, any
            non-public information supplied to it by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which is identified in writing by the Loan Parties as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to such Person (and
            which at the time is not, and does not thereafter become, publicly available or available to such Person from another source not known to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to such Person not to disclose such information); provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure by any Agent or any Lender of any such information (i) to its Affiliates, its Related Parties or the Related Parties of any Person described in clause
            (ii) or (iii) below or to any Lender’s current or prospective funding sources (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such
            information confidential in accordance with this Section 12.20 or is subject to other customary confidentiality obligations); (ii) to any other party hereto; (iii) to any assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant)
            or any party to a Securitization so long as such assignee or participant (or prospective assignee or participant) or party to a Securitization agrees, in writing, to be bound by or is otherwise subject to customary confidentiality obligations
            (including, without limitation, confidentiality provisions similar in substance to this Section 12.20); (iv) to the extent required by any Requirement of Law or judicial process or as otherwise requested by any Governmental Authority
            having jurisdiction over such Person; (v) (x) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner, auditor or accountant or any nationally recognized rating agency or (y) otherwise to the extent
            consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify Loan Parties; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Agent and each Lender shall make
            reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof; (vi) in connection with any litigation to which any Agent or any Lender is a party; (vii) in connection with the exercise of any
            remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, in each case, solely to the extent necessary in
            connection therewith; or (viii) with the consent of the Borrower. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to
            the lending industry and service providers to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitments.

           

          Section 12.21       Public Disclosure.  Each Loan Party agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will now or in the future issue any press
            release or other public disclosure using the name of an Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of such Agent or such Lender, except to
            the extent that such Loan Party or such Affiliate is required by any Requirement of Law (in which event, such Loan Party or such Affiliate will consult with such Agent or such Lender before issuing such press release or other public disclosure;
            provided, that any failure of such Loan party or such Affiliate to consult with such Agent or such Lender shall not result in an Event of Default hereunder).  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything
            contained herein to the contrary, the Borrower or any parent company of the Borrower may include a summary of this Agreement or any other Loan Document in, and file copies thereof as exhibits to, any registration statement that it submits or
            files under the Securities Act, or filings it makes or furnishes under the Exchange Act.  Each Loan Party hereby authorizes each Agent and each Lender, after consultation with the Borrower, to advertise the closing of the transactions
            contemplated by this Agreement, and to make reasonably appropriate announcements of the financial arrangements entered into among the parties hereto, as such Agent or such Lender shall deem reasonably appropriate, including, without limitation,
            announcements commonly known as tombstones, in such trade publications, business journals, newspapers of general circulation and to such selected parties as such Agent or such Lender shall deem reasonably appropriate.

           

          
            144

            
              

          

          Section 12.22       Integration.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with
            respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.

           

          Section 12.23        USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and each Agent hereby notifies the
            Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each such entity and other information
            that will allow such Lender or Agent to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.  Each Loan Party agrees to take such action and execute, acknowledge and deliver at its sole cost and expense, such instruments and documents
            as any Lender may reasonably require from time to time in order to enable such Lender to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act.

           

          Section 12.24        Released Loan Party.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Loan Party (the “Released Loan Party”) shall be
            automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement in the event that all or any portion of the Equity Interests of the Released Loan Party shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed as permitted by Section 7.02(c),
            and the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that each reference to a “Loan Party” or the “Loan Parties” in this Agreement shall not include such Released Loan Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or
            disposition shall continue to be subject to the Collateral Agent’s Lien pursuant to the Loan Documents.

           

          
            145

            
              

          

          Section 12.25        Electronic Signatures. This Agreement, any other Loan Document and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information,
            notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (each, for purposes of this Section 12.25, a “Specified Communication”), including Specified Communications
            required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures.  Each of the Loan Parties agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Specified Communication shall be
            valid and binding each of the Loan Parties to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Specified Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the
            Loan Parties enforceable against such in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered.  Any Specified Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or
            convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Specified Communication.  For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or
            acceptance by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders of a manually signed paper Specified Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed
            Specified Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention.  The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Specified
            Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of the such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document.  All Specified Communications in the form
            of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
            contrary, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent pursuant to
            procedures approved by it; provided, further, that without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the
            Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the
            Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.  For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings
            assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

           

          
            Section 12.26         Judgment Currency.

          

           

          If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange
            used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.  The obligation of
            the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from them to the Agents or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than Dollars (the “Agreement

              Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking
            procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Secured Parties from the Borrower in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower
            agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Secured Parties or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.
