        ABR Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e) may be given not later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date of such proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request
        shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile, or emailed pdf to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request signed by the Borrower Representative. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request
        shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

       

      
        
          (i)          the name of the applicable Borrower(s) and whether such Borrowing is a U.S. Borrowing or Canadian Borrowing;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (ii)         the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing and a breakdown of the separate wires comprising such Borrowing;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (iii)        the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (iv)         the Type of such Borrowing; and

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (v)          in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period
            contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

           

          

        

      

      Any Borrowing Request that shall fail to specify any of the information required by the preceding provisions of this paragraph may be rejected by the Administrative Agent if such failure is not
        corrected promptly after the Administrative Agent shall give written or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and, if so rejected, will be of no force or effect. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance
        with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

      SECTION 2.04    Protective Advances.

       

      (a)          Subject to the limitations set forth below, after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion
        (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Loans to the U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrowers, as applicable, on behalf of all Lenders, which the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to
        preserve or protect the applicable Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the applicable Loans and other applicable Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to
        or required to be paid by the applicable Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 9.03) and other sums payable under the Loan
        Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Protective Advances shall not, at any time, exceed (x) 5% of the Aggregate Commitments
        then in effect or (y) when aggregated with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Overadvances, 10% of the Aggregate Commitments then in effect; provided further that no Protective Advance shall be made if after giving effect
        thereto, any Lender’s Revolving Exposure shall exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied.  Subject to Section 9.21, the
        Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent in and to the applicable Collateral and shall constitute U.S. Obligations or Canadian Obligations, as applicable, hereunder. All Protective Advances shall be in
        U.S. Dollars and ABR Borrowings. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the
        Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time the making of such Revolving Loan would not violate the Revolving Exposure Limitations and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied, the Administrative Agent
        may request the Lenders to make a Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time the Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.04(b).

       

      (b)          Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have
        unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Administrative Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. From and after the date, if any,
        on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and
        interest and all proceeds of Collateral (subject to Section 9.21) received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance; provided that no Lender holding a Commitment shall be obligated in any event to make
        Revolving Loans in an amount in excess of its Commitment minus its Applicable Percentage (taking into account any reallocations under Section 2.20) of the LC Exposure of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

       

      SECTION 2.05    Swingline Loans and Overadvances.

       

      (a)          The Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, promptly after the Borrower
        Representative requests an ABR Borrowing, the Swingline Lender may, at its election and option made in its sole discretion cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, have the terms of this Section 2.05(a) apply to such Borrowing
        Request by advancing, on behalf of the Lenders and in the amount requested, same day funds to the applicable Borrowers, on the date of the applicable Borrowing to the applicable Funding Account(s) (each such Loan made solely by the Swingline Lender
        pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) is referred to in this Agreement as a “Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.05(d). Each Swingline
        Loan shall be subject 

       

      

      
        70

        
          

      

      to all the terms and conditions applicable to other ABR Loans funded by the Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Swingline Lender solely for its own account. The aggregate Dollar Amount of Swingline Loans outstanding
        at any time (a) drawn under the U.S. Borrowing Base, shall not exceed $40,000,000 and (b) drawn under the Canadian Borrowing Base, shall not exceed $2,000,000.  The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect thereto,
        the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations. All Swingline Loans shall be ABR Borrowings in U.S. Dollars.  Swingline Lender’s agreement to make Swingline Loans under this Agreement is cancelable at any time for
        any reason whatsoever and the making of Swingline Loans by Swingline Lender from time to time shall not create any duty or obligation, or establish any course of conduct, pursuant to which Swingline Lender shall thereafter be obligated to make
        Swingline Loans in the future.

       

      (b)          Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make
        Revolving Loans to the Borrowers, on behalf of the Lenders, in amounts that exceed Availability (any such excess Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as “Overadvances”); provided that, no Overadvance shall result in a
        Default due to Borrowers’ failure to comply with Section 2.01 for so long as such Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount of such Overadvance; provided, further
        that the aggregate amount of outstanding Overadvances shall not, at any time, exceed (x) 5% of the Aggregate Commitments then in effect or (y) when aggregated with the aggregate outstanding amount of Protective Advances then outstanding, 10% of the
        Aggregate Commitments then in effect; provided further that no Overadvance shall be made if after giving effect thereto, any Lender’s Revolving Exposure shall exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Overadvances may be made even if the
        condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02(c) has not been satisfied. All Overadvances shall be in U.S. Dollars and ABR Borrowings. The applicable Borrowers shall be required to repay each Overadvance no later than the 30th day after the date of the making thereof. The Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Overadvances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such
        revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof.

       

      (c)          Upon the making of a Swingline Loan or an Overadvance (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan or
        Overadvance), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, without recourse or warranty, an
        undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan or Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the Commitment. The Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders to fund their
        participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan or Overadvance purchased hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s
        Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral (subject to Section 9.21) received by the Administrative Agent in respect of such Loan; provided that no Lender holding a Commitment
        shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Loans in an amount in excess of its Commitment minus its Applicable Percentage (taking into account any reallocations under Section 2.20) of the LC Exposure of all outstanding Letters of
        Credit.

       

      (d)          The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that the Administrative Agent elects
        or that Swingline Lender at its own option exercisable for any reason may request, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or electronic transmission no later than 3:00 p.m. on the date of such requested
        Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan
        (plus interest accrued thereon to the

       

      

      
        71

        
          

      

       extent requested by Administrative Agent) with respect to which Settlement is requested to the Administrative Agent, to such account of the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 5:00 p.m. on such
        Settlement Date if requested by 3:00 p.m., otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m. the next Business Day. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02
        have then been satisfied or the Commitments have otherwise been terminated. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with Swingline Lender’s
        Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the Administrative Agent by any Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be
        entitled to recover from such Lender on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, as specified in Section 2.07.

       

      SECTION 2.06    Letters of Credit.

       

      (a)          General.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on and after the Closing Date, an Issuing Bank shall issue or cause the issuance of standby and/or
        commercial letters of credit denominated in U.S. Dollars (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of any U.S. Borrower, either for its support or the support of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ obligations, so long as, after the issuance
        thereof, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000, (ii) LC Exposure of any Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s LC Individual Sublimit, and (iii) the Borrowers will be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations.  All
        disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be U.S. Revolving Loans and shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate for ABR Loans.  Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest (but fees shall
        accrue in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.12(b) hereof). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order,
        judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing any Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or
        not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or
        shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or shall impose
        upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date of this Agreement, and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or
        more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally. Each U.S. Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued for the support of any Restricted Subsidiary’s obligations
        as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph, such Borrower will be fully responsible for the reimbursement of LC Disbursements in accordance with the terms hereof, the payment of interest thereon and the payment of fees due under this
        Agreement to the same extent as if it were the sole account party in respect of such Letter of Credit (such Borrower hereby irrevocably waiving any defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of the obligations of such
        Restricted Subsidiary that is an account party in respect of any such Letter of Credit).

       

      (b)          Issuance of Letters of Credit.

       

      
        
          (i)          Borrower Representative, on behalf of any U.S. Borrower, either for the support of any obligations of any U.S. Borrower’s
            or any Restricted Subsidiary thereof, may request an Issuing Bank to issue or cause the issuance, amendment, or extension of a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Bank, with a copy to Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, prior
            to 1:00 p.m., at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, amendment, or extension (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Bank and Administrative 

           

          

          
            72

            
              

          

          Agent), such Issuing Bank’s form of Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”) completed to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (which
            shall include, among other things, the amount of such Letter of Credit); and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank may reasonably request.  No Issuing Bank shall issue
            any requested Letter of Credit if such Issuing Bank has received notice at least one day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, from Administrative Agent or any Lender that one or
            more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Loans hereunder have been terminated for any reason.

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (ii)         Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide
            for the payment of sight drafts, other written demands for payment, or acceptances of usance drafts when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have
            an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance, provided that a Letter of Credit may include a provision for the automatic extension of the Letter of Credit, but in no event expire later than the
            Maturity Date (except that a Letter of Credit may expire up to one year beyond the Expiration Date if such Letter of Credit has been Cash Collateralized on or prior to date of issuance thereof).  Each standby Letter of Credit shall be subject
            either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (the “UCP”) or the International Standby Practices
            (International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590) (the “ISP98 Rules”), or any subsequent revision thereof at the time a standby Letter of Credit is issued, as determined by Issuing Bank, and each commercial Letter of Credit
            shall be subject to the UCP. In addition, no commercial Letter of Credit may permit the presentation of an ocean bill of lading that includes a condition that the original bill of lading is not required to claim the goods shipped thereunder.

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (iii)        Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to
            notify Lenders of the request by Borrower Representative for a Letter of Credit hereunder.

           

          

        

      

      (c)          Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

       

      
        
          (i)         Borrower Representative shall authorize and direct any
            Issuing Bank to name the applicable U.S. Borrower as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit.  If Administrative Agent is not the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit, Borrower Representative shall authorize and direct the
            applicable Issuing Bank to deliver to Administrative Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Issuing Bank pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Administrative Agent’s
            instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit, and the application therefor.

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (ii)         In connection with all commercial Letters of Credit issued
            or caused to be issued by an Issuing Bank under this Agreement, each U.S. Borrower hereby appoints the Issuing Bank, or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority if an Event of Default shall have occurred and for as long as
            such Event of Default is continuing: (i) to sign and/or endorse such Borrower’s name upon any warehouse or other receipts, and acceptances; (ii) to sign such Borrower’s name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through the United States
            of America Customs Department (“Customs”) in the name of such Borrower or Issuing Bank or Issuing Bank’s designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the name of such Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to
            complete in such Borrower’s name or Issuing Bank’s, or in the name of Issuing Bank’s designee, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof.  Neither Administrative
            Agent, Issuing 

           

          

          
            73

            
              

          

          Bank nor their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law taken in accordance with this Section 2.06, except for
            Administrative Agent’s, Issuing Bank’s or their respective attorney’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).  This power, being coupled with an interest,
            is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

           

          

        

      

      (d)          Disbursements, Reimbursement.

       

      
        
          (i)          Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each
            Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
            the LC Exposure (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (ii)         In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of
            Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify Administrative Agent and Borrower Representative.  Regardless of whether Borrower Representative shall have received such notice, U.S. Borrowers shall
            reimburse (such obligation to reimburse Issuing Bank shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) Issuing Bank prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on each date that an amount is paid by Issuing Bank under any Letter of
            Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to such LC Disbursement so paid by the Issuing Bank.  In the event the U.S. Borrowers fail to reimburse Issuing Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of
            Credit by 1:00  p.m., New York time, on the Drawing Date, Issuing Bank will promptly notify Administrative Agent and each Lender holding a Commitment thereof, and U.S. Borrowers shall be automatically deemed to have requested that a U.S.
            Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such payment to be maintained as an ABR Loan be made by Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, and Lenders holding the Commitments shall be unconditionally obligated to fund
            such Revolving Loan (all whether or not the conditions specified in Section 4.02 are then satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Loans hereunder have been terminated for any reason) as provided for in Section
              2.06(d)(iii) below.  Any notice given by Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.06(d)(ii) may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such a confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding
            effect of such notice.

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (iii)        Each Lender holding a Commitment shall upon any notice
            pursuant to Section 2.06(d)(ii) make available to Issuing Bank through Administrative Agent at the Payment Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Applicable Percentage (subject to any contrary provisions of Section

              2.20) of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.06(d)(iv)) each be deemed to have made a U.S. Revolving Loan maintained as an ABR Loan to U.S. Borrowers in that amount.  If any
            Lender holding a Commitment so notified fails to make available to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank, the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount by 2:00 p.m. on the Drawing Date, then interest shall
            accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (1) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days following the
            Drawing Date and (2) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to U.S. Revolving Loans maintained as an ABR Loan on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date.  Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank will promptly give notice of
            the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender holding a Commitment to effect such payment on such date shall not
            relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 2.06(d)(iii), provided that such Lender 

           

          

          
            74

            
              

          

          shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in Section 2.06(d)(iii)(1) and (2) until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from Administrative Agent or
            Issuing Bank of a drawing.

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (iv)       With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted
            into a U.S. Revolving Loan maintained as an ABR Loan to U.S. Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.06(d)(ii), for any reason, U.S. Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from Administrative Agent a borrowing
            (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing.  Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to a U.S.
            Revolving Loan maintained as an ABR Loan.  Each applicable Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(d)(iii) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and
            shall constitute a “Participation Advance” from such Lender in satisfaction of its obligation to participate in respect of the applicable Letter of Credit under this Section 2.06(d).

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (v)          Each applicable Lender’s obligations hereunder to
            participate in respect of the Letters of Credit shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (x) Issuing Bank ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit
            issued or created hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all Persons (other than U.S. Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

           

          

        

      

      (e)          Repayment of Participation Advances.  Upon (and only upon) receipt by Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank of immediately available funds
        from U.S. Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of
        interest on such a payment made by Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent under such a Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent will pay to each Lender holding a Commitment, in the same funds as those received by Administrative Agent, the amount of
        such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such funds, except Administrative Agent shall retain the amount of the Applicable Percentage of such funds of any Lender holding a Commitment that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such
        payment by Administrative Agent (and, to the extent that any of the other Lender(s) holding the Commitment have funded any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20,
        Administrative Agent will pay over to such non-Defaulting Lenders a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from such Defaulting Lender).  If Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to any such Borrower, or to a
        trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by such Borrowers to Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(e) in reimbursement of a payment
        made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each applicable Lender shall, on demand of Administrative Agent, forthwith return to Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent the amount of its Applicable Percentage of any amounts so returned
        by Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent plus interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

       

      (f)          Documentation.  Each U.S. Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by Issuing Bank’s interpretations of any Letter
        of Credit issued on behalf of such U.S. Borrower and by Issuing Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though Issuing Bank’s interpretations may be different from such Borrower’s own.  In the event of a
        conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.  It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
        in a final non-appealable judgment), Issuing Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrower 

       

      

      
        75

        
          

      

      Representative’s or any Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

       

      (g)          Determination to Honor Drawing Request.  In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof,
        Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and
        that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

       

      (h)          Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.  The obligation of each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with this Agreement to
        make the Revolving Loans or Participation Advance as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of U.S. Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and
        irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.06(h) under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

       

      
        
          (i)          any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any Borrower, as the case may be, may
            have against Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent, any Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (ii)         the failure of any U.S. Borrower or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the
            conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of Lenders to make Participation Advances
            under Section 2.06(d);

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (iii)         any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (iv)        any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Borrower, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender
            against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross-claim, defense or other right which any Borrower, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender may have at any time
            against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or assignee of the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee or assignee may be acting), Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any
            Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiaries of such Borrower
            and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (v)          the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the
            form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in
            connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if Issuing Bank or any of Issuing Bank’s Affiliates has been notified thereof;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (vi)       payment by Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document
            which is forged or does not fully comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the foregoing shall not excuse Issuing Bank from any obligation under the terms of any applicable Letter of Credit to require the presentation of 

           

          

          
            76

            
              

          

          documents that on their face appear to satisfy any applicable requirements for drawing under such Letter of Credit prior to honoring or paying any such draw);

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (vii)        the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role
            in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (viii)       any failure by Issuing Bank or any of Issuing Bank’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by
            Borrower Representative, unless Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank have each received written notice from Borrower Representative of such failure within six (6) Business Days after Issuing Bank shall have furnished Administrative Agent and
            Borrower Representative a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (ix)         the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (x)          any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (xi)         the occurrence or continuance of an insolvency proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Guarantor;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (xii)        the fact that a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (xiii)       the fact that it may be past the Maturity Date, or the fact that this Agreement or the obligations of Lenders to make
            Revolving Loans have been terminated; and

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (xiv)       any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

           

          

        

      

      (i)          Liability for Acts and Omissions.

       

      
        
          (i)          As between U.S. Borrowers and Issuing Bank, Swingline
            Lender, Administrative Agent and Lenders, each U.S. Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of
            the foregoing, Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of
            Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if Issuing Bank or any of its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of
            any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;
            (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim
            of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or
            delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
            document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the 

           

          

          
            77

            
              

          

          misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of
            Issuing Bank, including any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuing Bank’s
            rights or powers hereunder.  Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve Issuing Bank from liability for Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable
            judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence.  In no event shall Issuing Bank or Issuing Bank’s Affiliates be liable to any Borrower for any indirect, consequential, incidental,
            punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (ii)        Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuing Bank and each of its Affiliates:  (i) may rely on any oral or
            other communication believed in good faith by Issuing Bank or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their
            face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or
            compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by Issuing Bank or its Affiliates; (iv) may
            honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be
            liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the
            place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on Issuing Bank or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity
            issued to a steamship agent or carrier or any document or instrument of like import (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or
            other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (iii)        In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or
            omitted by Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined
            by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), shall not put Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to any Borrower, Administrative Agent or any Lender.

           

          

        

      

      (j)          Cash Collateral. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders
        demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the U.S. Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize all Letters of Credit; provided that the obligation to Cash Collateralize all Letters of Credit shall become effective
        immediately, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (e) of Article VII. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Cash Collateralize” shall mean, with
        respect to any Letter of Credit, the deposit in U.S. Dollars in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to
        105% of the amount of the LC Exposure in respect of such Letter of Credit issued and outstanding on such date plus accrued and 

       

      

      
        78

        
          

      

      unpaid interest thereon. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive
        right of withdrawal, over the LC Collateral Account and the U.S. Borrowers hereby grant the Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments
        shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the U.S. Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the LC Collateral
        Account. Moneys in the LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction
        of the reimbursement obligations of the U.S. Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Lenders), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If
        the U.S. Borrowers are required to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit solely as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, the cash collateral (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the U.S. Borrowers within three
        (3) Business Days after all such Events of Default have been waived as confirmed in writing by the Administrative Agent.

       

      (k)          Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Restricted
        Subsidiary, the U.S. Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. Each U.S. Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit requested by
        such U.S. Borrower for the account of Restricted Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of such U.S. Borrower, and that such U.S. Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Restricted Subsidiaries.

       

      (l)          Existing Letters of Credit. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued for the account of the U.S. Borrowers on the Closing Date for all purposes hereof and of
        the other Loan Documents (whether or not a U.S. Borrower was the applicant with respect thereto or otherwise responsible for reimbursement obligations with respect thereto prior to the Closing Date), and no issuance or similar fees (as
        distinguished from ongoing participation or fronting fees) will be required in connection with the deemed issuance of the Existing Letters of Credit on the Closing Date.

       

      SECTION 2.07    Funding of Borrowings.

       

      (a)          Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., New York time, to the account of the
        Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly
        crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the applicable Funding Account; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(d) shall be remitted by the
        Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent.

       

      (b)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 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 such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower
        a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrowers severally agree to pay to the
        Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the 

       

      

      
        79

        
          

      

      date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of
        funding such amount or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans.  If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand
        therefor upon the applicable Borrower, and the applicable Borrower shall pay such interest at the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s
        Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the applicable Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

       

      SECTION 2.08    Interest Elections.

       

      (a)          Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing
        Request. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The
        Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the
        Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

       

      (b)          To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section

          2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly
        by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower Representative.

       

      (c)          Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

       

      
        
          (i)          the name of the applicable Borrower and the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
            options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified
            for each resulting Borrowing);

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (ii)          the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (iii)         the Type of Borrowing; and

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (iv)         if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
            election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

           

          

        

      

      If any such Interest Election Request requests a LIBOR Borrowing, but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
        duration.

       

      
        80

        
          

      

      (d)          Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

       

      (e)          If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBOR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing
        is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing.

       

      (f)          Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower
        Representative (provided that no such notice shall be required in the case of an Event of Default under clause (e) of Article VII), then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or
        continued as a LIBOR Borrowing, and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBOR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

       

      SECTION 2.09    Termination and Reduction of Commitments; Increase in Commitments.

       

      (a)          Unless previously terminated the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

       

      (b)          The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Commitments upon (i) the payment in full in cash of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any LC Exposure, (ii) the
        cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the Cash Collateralization (or, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, a back-up standby letter of credit
        satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank) of all outstanding Letters of Credit, (iii) the payment in full in cash of the accrued and unpaid fees, and (iv) the payment in full in cash of all reimbursable expenses and other
        Obligations, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

       

      (c)          The Borrowers may from time to time reduce the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and (ii) the
        Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Borrowers would not be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure
        Limitations.

       

      (d)          The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to
        the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered
        by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness
        of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction
        of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

       

      (e)          The Borrowers shall have the right to increase the Commitments by obtaining additional Commitments, either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution provided that (i) any such
        request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, (ii) the Commitments may be increased pursuant hereto on no more than five (5) occasions, (iii) the aggregate amount of all additional Commitments obtained under this clause (e)
        shall not exceed $100,000,000, (iv)  the identity of any such

       

      

      
        81

        
          

      

       new Lender shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (v) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, and (vi) the procedure
        described in Section 2.09(f) have been satisfied. Nothing contained in this Section 2.09 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time.

       

      (f)          Any amendment hereto for such an increase or addition shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative
        Agent, the Borrowers and each Lender being added or increasing its Commitment, subject only to the approval of the Required Lenders if any such increase or addition would cause the Commitments to exceed $500,000,000. As a condition precedent to
        such an increase or addition, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of each Loan Party signed by an Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party
        approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase or addition, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan
        Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date,
        and that any representation or warranty which is subject to any materiality qualifier shall be required to be true and correct in all respects) and (2) no Default exists, and (ii) legal opinions and documents consistent with those delivered on the
        Closing Date, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

       

      (g)          On the effective date of any such increase or addition, (i) any Lender increasing (or, in the case of any newly added Lender, extending) its Commitment shall make available to the Administrative Agent such
        amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase or addition and the use of such amounts to make
        payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders to equal its revised Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall make such other
        adjustments among the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of the
        Administrative Agent, in order to effect such reallocation and (ii) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase (or addition) in the Commitments (with such reborrowing
        to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower Representative, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03). The deemed payments made pursuant
        to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each LIBOR Loan (if applicable), shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrowers pursuant to
        the provisions of Section 2.16 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase or addition, the Administrative Agent shall, and is
        hereby authorized and directed to, revise the Commitment Schedule to reflect such increase or addition and shall distribute such revised Commitment Schedule to each of the Lenders and the Borrower Representative, whereupon such revised Commitment
        Schedule shall replace the old Commitment Schedule and become part of this Agreement.  Additionally, on the effective date of any such increase or addition, the following dollar floors shall be automatically and proportionately increased (such that
        the percentage yielded by dividing such existing dollar floor by the aggregate Commitments, in each case as in effect prior to the effectiveness of such increased or additional Commitments, is the same as the percentage yielded by dividing such
        increased dollar floor by the aggregate Commitments, in each case immediately following the effectiveness of such increased or additional Commitments):  (i) the maximum amounts of Swingline Loans set forth in Section 2.05(a); (ii) the
        dollar floors set forth in clause (b) of the definition of “Dominion Period”; (iii) the dollar floors set forth in clauses 

       

      

      
        82

        
          

      

      (i) and (ii) of the definition of “Increased BBC Reporting Period”; (iv) the dollar floors set forth in clause (b) of the definition of “Increased Financial Reporting Period”; (v) the dollar floor set forth in clause (b) of the definition of
        “Mortgage Triggering Event” and clause (b) of the definition of “Mortgage Release Event”; (vi) the dollar floors set forth in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii) of the definition of “Payment Conditions”; (vii) the dollar floors set forth in clauses (b) and
        (c) of the definition of “Payment Conditions During Deemed BB Period”; (viii) the dollar floors set forth in Sections 5.07(a) and 5.07(b); and (ix) the dollar floor set forth in Section 6.12.

       

      SECTION 2.10    Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

       

      (a)          Subject to Section 9.21, the Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan
        on the Maturity Date, (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent, and (iii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid principal
        amount of each Overadvance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the 30th day after such Overadvance is made.

       

      (b)          On each Business Day during any Dominion Period, the Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited to a Concentration Account of the U.S. Borrowers on such Business Day or the immediately preceding
        Business Day (at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, whether or not immediately available), first, to prepay any U.S. Protective Advances and U.S. Overadvance that may be outstanding, second, to prepay the U.S. Revolving Loans and U.S.
        Swingline Loans, third, to prepay any Canadian Protective Advance and Canadian Overadvance that may be outstanding, fourth to prepay any Canadian Revolving Loans and Canadian Swingline Loans, and fifth, as the Borrower Representative may direct.
        The Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited to a Concentration Account of the Canadian Loan Parties on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day in the order specified in subclauses third through fifth above.

       

      (c)          Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrowers 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.

       

      (d)          The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount
        of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers 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.

       

      (e)          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 Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

       

      (f)          Any Lender (including the Swingline Lender) may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note
        payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times
        (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) 

       

      

      
        83

        
          

      

      be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or to such payee and its registered assigns).

       

      SECTION 2.11    Prepayment of Loans.

       

      (a)          The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section and, if
        applicable, payment of any break funding expenses under Section 2.16.

       

      (b)          Except for Overadvances permitted under Section 2.05, in the event and on each occasion that the Borrowers are not in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations, the Canadian Borrowers and
        the U.S. Borrowers shall, subject to Section 9.21, severally prepay the Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans (or, if no such Loans are outstanding, Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit) of such Borrower(s) in an aggregate
        amount that, after giving effect to such prepayments or Cash Collateralization the Borrowers shall be in compliance with the Revolving Exposure Limitations.

       

      (c)          The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile or email) of any prepayment
        hereunder not later than (i) 1:00 p.m., New York time, (A) in the case of prepayment of a LIBOR Borrowing, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (B) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, on the date of prepayment. Each
        such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of
        termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice
        relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving
        Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest to
        the extent required by Section 2.13 and (ii) break funding payments, if any, pursuant to Section 2.16.

       

      SECTION 2.12    Fees.

       

      (a)          The U.S. Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee equal to the Unused Commitment Fee Rate multiplied
        by the actual daily amount of the Available Commitment during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day
        of each fiscal quarter of the Company and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be
        payable for the actual number of days elapsed, (including the first day but excluding the last day).

       

      (b)          U.S. Borrowers shall pay (x) to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding Commitments, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period from and
        excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to (A) with respect to Standby LC Exposure, the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Loans on the aggregate
        daily amount of such Lender’s Standby LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements), and (B) with respect to Commercial LC Exposure, the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable
        to LIBOR Loans on the aggregate daily amount of such Lender’s Commercial LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to 

       

      

      
        84

        
          

      

      unreimbursed LC Disbursements), in each case such fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter on the Maturity Date,
        and (y) to Issuing Bank, a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum times the aggregate daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or
        termination, to be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter and on the Maturity Date (all of the foregoing fees, the “Letter of Credit Fees”).  In addition, the U.S. Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank, for the
        benefit of such Issuing Bank customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as such Issuing Bank may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, amendment (if
        any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit, to be payable on demand.  All such charges shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject
        to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason.  Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in Issuing Bank’s
        prevailing charges for that type of transaction.  Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, at the option of the Administrative Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any
        Event of Default under clause (e) of Article VII, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the Letter of Credit Fees described in clause (x) of
        this Section 2.12(b) shall be increased by an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which
        the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after demand.

       

      (c)          The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

       

      (d)          All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due and shall be paid in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable
        to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders.

       

      (e)          Upon payment, such fees in this Section 2.12 shall not be refundable under any circumstances, absent manifest error in calculation.

       

      SECTION 2.13    Interest.

       

      (a)          The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan denominated in U.S. Dollars) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

       

      (b)          The Revolving Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

       

      (c)          Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

       

      (d)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower
        Representative, declare that (i) all Loans shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount
        shall accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable to such fee or 

       

      

      
        85

        
          

      

      other obligation as provided hereunder, in each case, from the date such Event of Default occurred until the date such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing in accordance herewith; provided, that (x) the default rate of interest
        set forth in this clause (d) shall apply automatically and without notice to the Borrower Representative upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under clauses (a) and (e) of Article VII and (y) application of the
        default rate of interest pursuant to this clause (d) may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest
        rates.

       

      (e)          Accrued interest on each Loan (for ABR Loans, accrued through the last day of the prior calendar month) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the
        Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) 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 ABR Loan prior to the end of
        the Availability Period), 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 LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest
        Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

       

      (f)          All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate 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). The applicable Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate or Alternate Base Rate shall be determined by the
        Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which any rate calculated on the basis of a period of time different from the
        actual number of days in the year (360 days, for example) is equivalent is the stated rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year (365 or 366, as applicable) and divided by the number of days in the shorter period (360 days, in the
        example).

       

      SECTION 2.14    Alternate Rate of Interest; Successor LIBOR Rate Index.

       

      (a)          Alternative Rate of Interest.

       

      
        
          (i)           If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing:

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (A)         the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that
            adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for an applicable Interest Period; or

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (B)         the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the LIBO Rate for an applicable Interest Period will not
            adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining the Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

           

          

        

      

      then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders by electronic communication as provided in Section 9.01 as promptly as practicable
        thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing
        to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, an affected LIBOR Borrowing, as the case may be, shall be ineffective, (ii) any affected LIBOR Borrowing that is requested to be continued shall be continued as an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the then
        current Interest Period

       

      

      
        86

        
          

      

       applicable thereto, and (iii) any Borrowing Request for an affected LIBOR Borrowing shall be deemed a request for an ABR Borrowing.

       

      (b)          Successor LIBOR Rate Index.

       

      
        
          (i)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark
            Transition Event or if an Early Opt-in Event has occurred with respect to the LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBO Rate with a Benchmark Replacement; and any such
            amendment will become effective at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has provided such proposed amendment to all Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such
            time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Until the Benchmark Replacement with respect to the LIBO Rate is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of a Loan bearing interest at the
            LIBO Rate will continue to bear interest with reference to the LIBO Rate; provided however, during a Benchmark Unavailability Period (i) any pending selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Loan bearing interest at the LIBO Rate that has not
            yet gone into effect shall be deemed to be a selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Alternate Base Rate in the amount of such Loan, (ii) all outstanding Loans bearing interest at the LIBO Rate shall automatically be converted to ABR
            Loans at the expiration of the existing Interest Period (or sooner, if Administrative Agent cannot continue to lawfully maintain such affected LIBOR Loan) and (iii) the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the LIBO Rate will not be
            used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

           

          

        

      

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

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (iii)        The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark
            Replacement, (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iii) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or the
            Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) 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, 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 hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14(b).

           

          

        

      

      SECTION 2.15    Increased Costs.

       

      (a)          If any Change in Law shall:

       

      
        
          (i)          impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan
            requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank;

           

          

          
            87

            
              

          

        

      

      
        
          (ii)          impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than
            Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (iii)        subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of
            the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

           

          

        

      

      and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its
        obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
        Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon request of such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, the applicable Borrowers will pay to such Lender, the Issuing
        Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

       

      (b)          If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing
        Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of, or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such
        Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
        consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the
        Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

       

      (c)          A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
        paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative accompanied by a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts and upon such delivery of such items, shall be conclusive absent manifest
        error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

       

      (d)          Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such
        compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender
        or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further
        that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 9-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

       

      (e)          Without duplication of any such reserves which have been compensated as a result of the Statutory Reserve Rate, the Borrowers shall pay to each Lender (i) as long as such Lender shall be required 

       

      

      
        88

        
          

      

      to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to
        such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement under Regulation D
        or under any similar, successor or analogous requirement of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) or any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the
        Commitments or the funding of the LIBOR Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such
        Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided that in each case the
        Borrower Representative shall have received at least ten days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender.

       

      SECTION 2.16    Break Funding Payments.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event
        of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any
        LIBOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan other than on
        the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19 or 9.02(d), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
        (excluding any loss of margin or profit therefrom) attributable to such event which in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such Lender incurred. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such
        Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) with respect to a LIBOR Loan, the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to
        such Loan (but not including the Applicable Rate, margin or profit applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or
        continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the
        commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London, European or Canadian interbank market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount
        or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Representative and upon delivery of such items shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount
        shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

       

      SECTION 2.17    Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up.

       

      (a)          Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any 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 or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this

       

        

      
        89

        
          

      

       Section 2.17) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

       

      (b)          Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent
        timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

       

      (c)          Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, 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.

       

      (d)          Indemnification by the Loan Parties. Subject in all cases to Section 9.21, the Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 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) payable or paid 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 setting forth in reasonable
        detail the calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative 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.

       

      (e)          Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but
        only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply
        with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) 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 setting forth in reasonable detail
        the calculation of 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 such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

       

      (f)          Status of Lenders. (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
        Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent and at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed
        documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent or prescribed by applicable law 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 Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will
        enable the Borrowers 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

       

      

      
        90

        
          

      

       such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(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, in the event that any Borrower is a U.S. Person,

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (A)       any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative 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 Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form)
            certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

           

          

        

      

      
        
          (B)        any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the
            Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of
            the Borrower Representative 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, as applicable (or successor form), 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, as applicable (or successor form), 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;

       

      (2)          in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or
        successor form);

       

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

       

      (4)         to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the Beneficial Owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor
        form), IRS Form W- 8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9 (or successor form), and/or other certification
        documents from each Beneficial Owner, as applicable; provided

       

      

      
        91

        
          

      

       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 G-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 Representative and the
            Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of
            the Borrower Representative 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 Borrowers 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 Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the
            Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
            Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their
            obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include
            any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

           

          

        

      

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

       

      (g)          Treatment of Certain Refunds. 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

          2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), 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 2.17
        with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
        refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (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 (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to
        pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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 giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph (g) shall not be construed to
        require any indemnified 

       

      

      
        92

        
          

      

      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.

       

      (h)          Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 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.

       

      (i)          Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

       

      SECTION 2.18    Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or
        reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m., New York time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received
        after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative
        Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office, or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to
        Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly
        following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon
        shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan, and all payments in respect of LC Disbursements and all other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document, shall be
        made in U.S. Dollars.

       

      (b)          Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be
        applied as specified by the Borrowers) or (B) amounts to be applied from a Concentration Account during a Dominion Period (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b)) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is
        continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Administrative Agent and the
        Issuing Banks from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in
        connection with Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations), third, to pay interest due in respect of the Overadvances and Protective Advances, fourth, to pay the principal of the Overadvances and Protective
        Advances, fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective Advances) ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the Overadvances and Protective Advances) and
        unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably, seventh, to Cash Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit, eighth, ratably to the payment of any amounts owing with respect to (x) Banking Services Obligations arising from Banking
        Services described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the definition of Banking Services and (y) Banking Services Obligations arising from Banking Services (other than those described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of the definition of Banking
        Services) and Swap Agreement Obligations, in each case under this sub-clause (y), for which Banking Services/Swap Reserves have been established but only up to the amount of such Banking Services/Swap Reserves, ninth, to payment of any
        amounts owing with respect to Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations not paid pursuant to clause eighth above up to and including the amount most recently provided to the 

       

      

      
        93

        
          

      

      Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22, and tenth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation provided that (i) any amounts received from any U.S. Collateral or any U.S. Loan Party shall be applied, first, in
        the order provided above in clauses first through seventh to all amounts constituting U.S. Secured Obligations, second, in the order provided above in clauses first through seventh to the Canadian Secured Obligations, third, in the order provided
        above in clauses eighth through tenth to all amounts constituting U.S. Secured Obligations and fourth in the order provided above in clauses eighth through tenth to the Canadian Secured Obligations and (ii) any such application of proceeds from any
        Canadian Collateral or any Canadian Loan Party shall be made solely in respect of Canadian Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Loan Party shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Loan
        Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative, or unless an Event of Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment
        which it receives to any LIBOR Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans and, in any such event, the Borrowers
        shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to
        any portion of the Secured Obligations.

       

      (c)          At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reasonable and documented reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all
        reimbursement for fees, costs and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by the Borrower
        Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section, provided that, in the case of any deemed request (other than a payment of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, and fees due under this
        Agreement), the Administrative Agent shall have provided the Borrower Representative prior written notice that such sums are due and payable, the amount thereof and the date payment is requested to be made, and provided further that
        no amount from any Canadian Loan Party shall be applied to pay any U.S. Secured Obligations. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment referred to in the
        preceding sentence on or after the date any of the same becomes due and payable and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans and Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective
        Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 2.04 and Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05,
        as applicable.

       

      (d)          If, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its
        Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than its
        applicable proportion as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the
        extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all such Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and
        Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
        recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds
        arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution), or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC 

       

      

      
        94

        
          

      

      Disbursements or Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees,
        to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may, subject to Section 9.08, exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim
        with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

       

      (e)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the
        Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the
        Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative
        Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
        a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

       

      (f)          If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts
        thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash
        collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender hereunder. Application of amounts pursuant to (i) and (ii) above shall be made in any order determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

       

      (g)          The Administrative Agent may from time to time provide the Borrowers with billing statements or invoices with respect to any of the Secured Obligations (the “Billing Statements”). The Administrative
        Agent is under no duty or obligation to provide Billing Statements, which, if provided, will be solely for the Borrowers’ convenience. The Billing Statements may contain estimates of the amounts owed during the relevant billing period, whether of
        principal, interest, fees or other Secured Obligations. If the Borrowers pay the full amount indicated on a Billing Statement on or before the due date indicated on such Billing Statement, the Borrowers shall not be in default; provided,
        that acceptance by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, of any payment that is less than the payment due at that time shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ right to receive payment in full at
        another time.

       

      SECTION 2.19    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

       

      (a)          If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
        account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of
        its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and
        (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

       

      (b)          If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental
        Authority for the

       

      
        95

        
          

      

      
        
        
          account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section, or if any
            Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
            to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and other Loan Documents to an
            assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) if the assignee is not already a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the
            Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and in circumstances where its consent would be required under Section 9.04, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not
            unreasonably be withheld or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued
            fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment
            resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to
            make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

           

          SECTION 2.20  Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply
            for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

           

          (a)          fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

           

          (b)          such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required (other than to the extent expressly provided in Section 9.02(b)) and the
            Commitment and Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification
            pursuant to Section 9.02) or under any other Loan Document; provided, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment,
            waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby;

           

          (c)          if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

           

          (i)          all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with
            their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation and (y)
            the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

           

          (ii)         if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, then within one (1) Business Day following notice by the
            Administrative Agent (x) first, the U.S. Borrowers or Canadian Borrowers, as applicable, shall prepay such U.S. Swingline

           

          
            96

            
              

          

          Exposure and Canadian Exposure, respectively, and (y) second, the U.S. Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, the U.S. Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to
            such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

           

          (iii)        if the U.S. Borrowers Cash Collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required
            to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is Cash Collateralized;

           

          (iv)        if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections
              2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

           

          (v)          if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without
            prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank
            until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized; and

           

          (d)          so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew,
            extend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and such Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral
            will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such newly made Swingline Loan or newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a
            manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

           

          (e)          Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender or received by the Administrative Agent from
            a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the
            Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s LC
            Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.20(c), fourth, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Revolving Loan in
            respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in
            a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future LC Exposure with
            respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a
            court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no
            Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower Representative as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower Representative or any other Loan Party against such
            Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth,

           

          
            97

            
              

          

          to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Revolving Loans or LC Disbursements
            in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Revolving Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were
            satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Revolving Loans of, or LC Disbursements
            owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to
            sub-section (c) above. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.20(e)
            shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

           

          In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender agrees in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that
            caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on the date of such readjustment such Lender shall purchase at
            par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage; provided that no
            adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the
            affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

           

          SECTION 2.21    Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations (including a payment effected through exercise
            of a right of setoff), the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside,
            determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion),
            then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The
            provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of
            this Section 2.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

           

          SECTION 2.22   Banking Services and Swap Agreements. Each Lender or Affiliate (other than Lenders that are Affiliates of the Administrative Agent) thereof providing Banking Services
            for, or having Swap Agreements with, any Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly after entering into such Banking Services or Swap Agreements, written notice setting forth the aggregate amount
            (to the extent quantifiable) of all Banking Services Obligations and the notional amount and the current mark-to-market value of the Swap Agreement Obligations of such Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary to such Lender or Affiliate (whether
            matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent). In addition, each such Lender or Affiliate thereof shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, from time to time after a significant change therein or upon a request therefor, a summary of the
            amounts due or to become due (to the extent quantifiable) in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations. The most recent information provided to the Administrative Agent shall be used

           

          
            98

            
              

          

          in determining the amounts to be applied in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and/or Swap Agreement Obligations pursuant to Section 2.18(b).

           

          ARTICLE III.

           

          REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

           

          Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

           

          SECTION 3.01    Organization and Qualification; Power and Authority; Compliance With Laws; Event of Default.  Each Loan Party and each Restricted Subsidiary of each Loan Party (i) is a
            corporation, partnership, limited liability company or unlimited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) has the lawful power to own or lease its
            properties and to engage in the business it presently conducts or proposes to conduct, (iii) is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction where the property owned or leased by it or the nature of the business
            transacted by it or both makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified and in good standing would not constitute a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) has full power to enter into, execute,
            deliver and carry out this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, to incur the Indebtedness contemplated by the Loan Documents and to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and all such
            actions have been duly authorized by all necessary proceedings on its part, and (v) is in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law (other than Environmental Laws which are specifically addressed in Section 3.13 and
            Anti-Terrorism Laws which are specifically addressed in Section 3.16) in all jurisdictions in which any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary of any Loan Party is presently or will be doing business except where the failure to do so would
            not constitute a Material Adverse Effect.  No Event of Default or Default exists or is continuing.  No Loan Party is a Covered Entity.

           

          SECTION 3.02    Capitalization; Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures; Investment Companies.  Schedule 3.02 states (i) the name of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries, its jurisdiction
            of organization and the amount, percentage and type of equity interests in such Subsidiary (the “Subsidiary Equity Interests”), (ii) all Joint Ventures in which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary owns any Equity Interests (the “Joint

              Venture Equity Interests”) and (iii) any options, warrants or other rights outstanding to purchase any such Subsidiary Equity Interests or Joint Venture Equity Interests.  The Company and each
            Restricted Subsidiary of the Company has good and marketable title to all of the Subsidiary Equity Interests and Joint Venture Equity Interests it purports to own, free and clear in each case of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) and all
            such Subsidiary Equity Interests and Joint Venture Equity Interests have been validly issued and fully paid and are nonassessable (if applicable).  None of the Loan Parties or Subsidiaries of any Loan Party is an “investment company” registered
            or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under the “control” of an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 and shall not become such an “investment company” or under
            such “control.”

           

          SECTION 3.03    Validity and Binding Effect.  This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents (i) has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each Loan Party that is a party
            thereto and (ii) constitutes, or will constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of each Loan Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability of
            this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally or limiting the right of specific performance or by
            general principles of equity.

          SECTION 3.04    No Conflict; Material Agreements; Consents.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any Loan Party nor the consummation of
            the transactions herein or therein contemplated or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or thereof by any of them will conflict with, constitute a default under or result in any breach of (i) the terms and conditions of the articles
            or certificate of incorporation, code of regulations, bylaws, certificate of limited partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of formation, operating agreement, limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents of any
            Loan Party, (ii) any Requirement of Law or any agreement or instrument or order, writ, judgment, injunction or decree to which any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
            is bound or to which it is subject, in each case under clause (ii), except as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) result in the creation or enforcement of any Lien, charge or encumbrance whatsoever upon any property (now or
            hereafter acquired) of any Loan Party or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (except Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents).  None of the Loan Parties or their Restricted Subsidiaries is bound by any contractual obligation, or subject to
            any restriction in any organization document, or any Requirement of Law which results in a Material Adverse Effect.  No consent, approval, exemption, order or authorization of, or a registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any
            other Person is required by any Requirement of Law or any agreement in connection with the execution, delivery and carrying out of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents other than those which have been obtained or made and are in full
            force and effect and except for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents.

           

          SECTION 3.05    Litigation.  There are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against such Loan Party or any
            Restricted Subsidiary of such Loan Party at law or in equity before any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority which (i) involve any Loan Document or the Transactions or (ii) individually or in the aggregate would reasonably be expected to
            result in a Material Adverse Effect.  None of the Loan Parties or any Restricted Subsidiaries of any Loan Party is in violation of any order, writ, injunction or any decree of any Governmental Authority which constitutes a Material Adverse
            Effect.

           

          SECTION 3.06    Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect; Beneficial Ownership Certification.

           

          (a)          Historical Statements.  The Loan Parties have delivered or caused to be delivered to the Administrative Agent copies of the (i) audited consolidated year-end financial
            statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries for and as of the end of the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020 and (ii) unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries for and as of the fiscal quarter
            ended on May 2, 2020 (such annual and interim statements being collectively referred to as the “Statements”).  The Statements were compiled from the books and records maintained by the Loan Parties’ management, are correct and complete
            in all material respects and fairly represent in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and the results of operations for the fiscal periods then ended
            and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, subject (in the case of the interim statements) to normal year-end audit adjustments.

           

          (b)          Financial Projections.  The Loan Parties have delivered to the Administrative Agent summary projected financial statements (including, without limitation, statements of
            operations and cash flow together with a detailed explanation of the assumptions used in preparing such projected financial statements) of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a monthly basis for fiscal year 2021 and on an annual basis
            thereafter through fiscal year 2024 derived from various assumptions of the Loan Parties’ management (the “Projections”).  The Projections have been prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Company to be reasonable at
            the time such Projections were prepared and information

           

          
            100

            
              

          

          believed by the Company to have been accurate based upon the information available to the Company at the time such Projections were furnished to the Lenders, and the Company is not be aware of any facts or
            information that would lead it to believe that such Projections are incorrect or misleading in any material respect; it being understood that (a) the Projections represent a reasonable range of possible results in light of the history of the
            business, present and foreseeable conditions and the intentions of the Loan Parties’ management, it being understood that such Projections (i) are as to future events and not to be viewed as facts, (ii) are subject to significant uncertainties
            and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, and (iii) no assurance can be given that the Projections will be realized, (b) actual results may significantly vary from the Projections and
            such variations may be adverse and material and (c) the Projections should not be regarded as a representation by the Loan Parties or its management that the projected results or financial condition of the Loan Parties will be achieved.

           

          (c)        Accuracy of Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect.  As of the respective dates of the Statements, no Loan Party nor any Subsidiary thereof has any liabilities,
            contingent or otherwise, or forward or long-term commitments that are not disclosed in the Statements or in the notes thereto, and except as disclosed therein there are no unrealized or anticipated losses from any commitments of any Loan Party
            or any Subsidiary thereof and, in each case, which constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.  Since February 1, 2020, no Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

           

          (d)          Beneficial Ownership.  As of the date hereof, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct in all material respects.

           

          SECTION 3.07    Margin Stock.  None of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiaries of any Loan Party engages or intends to engage principally, or as one of its important activities, in the
            business of extending credit for the purpose, immediately, incidentally or ultimately, of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U, T or X as promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). 
            No part of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit has been or will be used, immediately, incidentally or ultimately, to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin
            stock or which is inconsistent with the provisions of the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  None of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party holds or intends to hold or, after giving effect to the
            use of proceeds of any Loan or drawing of any Letter of Credit, will hold, margin stock in such amounts that more than twenty-five (25%) of the reasonable value of the assets of any Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan Party are or will be
            represented by margin stock.  As of the Closing Date, none of the Loan Parties holds any margin stock.

           

          SECTION 3.08    Full Disclosure.  Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any certificate, statement, agreement or other documents furnished to the Administrative Agent
            or any Lender in connection herewith or therewith, taken as a whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein, in light of the
            circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  There is no fact known to any Loan Party which would reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Effect which has not been set forth in this Agreement or in the
            certificates, statements, agreements or other documents furnished in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders prior to or at the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

           

          SECTION 3.09    Taxes.  All federal and other material Tax returns required to have been filed with respect to each Loan Party and each Restricted Subsidiary of each Loan Party have
            been filed, and payment or adequate provision has been made for the payment of all Taxes, fees, assessments and other governmental charges which have or may become due pursuant to said returns or to assessments received, except to the extent
            that (a) the amount thereof is not individually or in the aggregate material or (b) such Taxes, fees,

           

          
            101

            
              

          

          assessments and other charges are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which such reserves or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required by GAAP
            shall have been made.  Each Loan Party and each of its respective Restricted Subsidiaries has withheld all employee withholdings and has made all employer contributions to be withheld and made by it pursuant to applicable law on account of the
            Canadian Pension Plans, employment insurance and employee income Taxes, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

           

          SECTION 3.10    Properties, Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Licenses, Etc.

           

          (a)         As of the date hereof, Schedule 3.10(a) hereto sets forth the address of each parcel of real property that is owned or leased by any Loan Party. Except as set forth on Schedule

              3.10(a), (i) each of such leases and subleases of each Loan Party is valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms and is in full force and effect, except to the extent that enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
            insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally or limiting the right of specific performance or by general principles of equity, (ii) no default by any party to any such
            lease or sublease exists, and (iii) each of the Loan Parties and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has good and indefeasible title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its material real and personal property, free of all Liens other
            than Permitted Liens except, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii), to the extent that the failure of the foregoing to be true would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

           

          (b)         Each Loan Party and each Restricted Subsidiary of each Loan Party owns or possesses all the material patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses,
            registrations, franchises, permits and rights necessary to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted and planned to be conducted by such Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary, without known possible,
            alleged or actual conflict with the rights of others, except with respect to any conflict that does not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10(b), each Loan Party’s
            and each Restricted Subsidiary’s rights with respect to such material patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, and other Intellectual Property necessary to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as
            presently conducted and planned to be conducted are not subject to any licensing agreement or similar arrangement (other than (A) restrictions relating to software licenses that may limit such Loan Party’s ability to transfer or assign any such
            agreement to a third party and (B) licensing agreements or similar agreements that do not materially impair the ability of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to avail themselves of their rights of disposal and other rights granted under
            the Collateral Documents in respect of Inventory).

           

          SECTION 3.11    Insurance.  Schedule 3.11 hereto sets forth a description of all insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Loan Parties as of the date hereof. As of the date
            hereof, no premiums in respect of such insurance are overdue.  The properties of each Loan Party and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries are insured pursuant to policies and other bonds which are valid and in full force and effect and which
            provide adequate coverage from reputable and financially sound insurers in amounts sufficient to insure the assets and risks of each such Loan Party and Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with prudent business practice in the industry of such
            Loan Parties and Restricted Subsidiaries.

           

          SECTION 3.12     ERISA Compliance; Canadian Pension Plans.

           

          (i)          Each Plan is in compliance in all respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state law, except where the failure to comply
            does not result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Each Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received from the IRS a favorable determination or opinion letter, which has not by its terms expired, that such Plan is
            so qualified, or such Plan is entitled to rely on an IRS advisory or opinion

           

          
            102

            
              

          

          letter with respect to an IRS-approved master and prototype or volume submitter plan, or a timely application for such a determination or opinion letter is currently being processed by the IRS
            with respect thereto; and, to the best knowledge of the Company, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification.  Except as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, (a) the Company and each ERISA
            Affiliate have made all required contributions to each Plan subject to Sections 412 or 430 of the Code, and (b) no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Sections 412 or 430 of the Code has been
            made with respect to any Plan.

           

          (ii)          Except as would not, either individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect, (a) no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to
            occur; (b) no Plan has any unfunded pension liability (i.e., excess of benefit liabilities over the current value of that Plan’s assets, determined pursuant to the assumptions used for funding the Plan for the applicable plan year in accordance
            with Section 430 of the Code); (c) neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent
            under Section 4007 of ERISA); (d) neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA, would
            result in such liability) under Section 4201 of ERISA, with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; (e) neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has received notice that a Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in critical or endangered status
            and that additional contributions are due to the Multiemployer Plan; and (f) neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

           

          (iii)        Each Foreign Plan is duly registered under all applicable Requirements of Law which require registration and, as applicable, is approved for tax purposes by the
            relevant tax authorities in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Plans are registered. Each Loan Party and any Restricted Subsidiary thereof have complied with and performed in all material respects all of its obligations under and in respect
            of the Foreign Plans under the terms thereof, any funding agreements and all applicable Requirements of Law (including any fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations).

           

          (iv)         No Foreign Benefit Event has occurred and no Borrower, no Restricted Subsidiary of a Borrower or any Loan Party is aware of any fact, event or circumstance
            existing as of the date hereof that would reasonably be expected to constitute or result in a Foreign Benefit Event.

           

          (v)         Schedule 3.12 lists as of the Closing Date all Canadian Pension Plans currently maintained or contributed to by the Loan Parties. Except as would not
            reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, as of the Closing Date, the Canadian Pension Plans are duly registered under the ITA and all other applicable laws which require registration.
            Except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Loan Party has complied with and performed all of its obligations under and in respect of the Canadian Pension Plans
            under the terms thereof, any funding agreements and all applicable laws (including any fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations), (ii) all employer and employee payments, contributions or premiums to be remitted, paid to or
            in respect of each Canadian Pension Plan have been paid in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms thereof, any funding agreement and all applicable laws, and (iii) there have been no improper withdrawals or applications of the assets of
            the Canadian Pension Plans. As at the date of this Agreement, no promises of benefit improvements under the Canadian Pension Plans have been made except where such improvement would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
            and, in any event, no such improvements will result in any

           

          

          
            103

            
              

          

          additional solvency deficiency or going concern unfunded liability under any Canadian Defined Benefit Plan which would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no
            outstanding disputes concerning the assets of the Canadian Pension Plans which would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Canadian Pension Event has occurred which has resulted in, or would reasonably be expected to
            result in, a Material Adverse Effect.  Each of the Canadian Pension Plans is fully funded on both a going concern and on a solvency basis (using actuarial methods and assumptions which are consistent with the valuations last filed with the
            applicable Governmental Authorities and which are consistent with generally accepted actuarial principles) and no Canadian Pension Event has occurred.

           

          SECTION 3.13   Environmental Matters.  Each Loan Party and each Restricted Subsidiary of each Loan Party is and has been in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws except to the
            extent that any non-compliance would not in the aggregate constitute a Material Adverse Effect.  No Loan Party or any Restricted Subsidiary (i) has incurred an Environmental Liability, (ii) has received notice of any claim with respect to any
            Environmental Liability or (iii) has knowledge of any Environmental Liability except, in any case of (i), (ii) or (iii), where such failure or liability, as the case may be, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
            Effect.

           

          SECTION 3.14    Labor Matters.  Except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) there are no strikes, lockouts,
            slowdowns or any other labor disputes against Company or any Restricted Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of Company, threatened, (ii) the hours worked by and payments made to employees of Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries have not
            been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, the Employee Standards Act (Ontario) or any other applicable federal, state, provincial, territorial, local or foreign law dealing with such matters and (iii) all payments due from
            Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on
            the books of Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent required by GAAP. The consummation of the Transactions do not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective
            bargaining agreement to which Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is bound.

           

          SECTION 3.15    Solvency.  Before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all Indebtedness incurred thereby
            and the payment of all fees related thereto, the Loan Parties, taken as a whole are Solvent.

           

          SECTION 3.16   Anti-Terrorism Laws and Sanctions. Each Loan Party has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by such Loan Party, its
            Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Terrorism Laws and applicable Sanctions, and such Loan Party, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors and, to the knowledge of such Loan
            Party, its employees and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Terrorism Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects and are not knowingly engaged in any activity that would reasonably be expected to result in any Loan Party being
            designated as a Sanctioned Person. None of (a) any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any of their respective directors, officers or, to the knowledge of any such Loan Party or Subsidiary, employees, or (b) to the knowledge of any such Loan Party or
            Subsidiary, any agent of such Loan Party or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person.  No Borrowing or Letter of Credit, use of proceeds,
            Transaction or other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents will violate Anti-Terrorism Laws or applicable Sanctions.Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations made in this Section 3.16 shall not
            be made by nor apply to any Person that qualifies as a corporation that is registered or incorporated under the laws of Canada or any province thereof and that carries on business in whole or in part in Canada within the meaning of Section 2 of
            the Foreign

           

          
            104

            
              

          

          Extraterritorial Measures (United States) Order, 1992 passed under the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada) in so far as such representations would result in a
            violation of or conflict with the Foreign Extraterritorial Measures Act (Canada) or any similar law.

           

          SECTION 3.17     EEA Financial Institutions. No Loan Party is an EEA Financial Institution.

           

          SECTION 3.18     Security Interest in Collateral.

           

          (a)         The provisions of the Security Agreements create legal, valid and enforceable (except to the extent that enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
            reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally or limiting the right of specific performance or by general principles of equity) Liens on the Collateral granted by (a) the U.S. Loan
            Parties in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), securing the Secured Obligations and (b) the Canadian Loan Parties in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), securing
            the Canadian Secured Obligations.

           

          (b)         To the extent applicable, each of the Mortgages, if any, entered into pursuant to Section 5.15 is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit
            of the Secured Parties) securing the Secured Obligations, a legal, valid and enforceable (except to the extent that enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the
            enforceability of creditors’ rights generally or limiting the right of specific performance or by general principles of equity) Lien on the property described therein, and when the Mortgages are filed in the appropriate offices, each such
            Mortgage shall constitute a Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the subject property, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except Liens in favor of Term Agent and
            other Permitted Liens).

           

          SECTION 3.19    Credit Card Agreements.  All Credit Card Agreements relating to Eligible Credit Card Accounts are in full force and effect, currently binding upon each Loan Party that
            is a party thereto and, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, binding upon other parties thereto in accordance with their terms (except to the extent that enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
            moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally or limiting the right of specific performance or by general principles of equity). The Loan Parties are in compliance in all material respects with
            each such Credit Card Agreement.  Annexed hereto as Schedule 3.19 is a list describing all arrangements as of the date hereof to which any Loan Party is a party with respect to the processing and/or payment to such Loan Party of the
            proceeds of any credit card charges, debit card charges, and other e-commerce charges contemplated by the definition of “Credit Card Accounts” for sales made by such Loan Party.

           

          SECTION 3.20    Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. No Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset
            Regulations), and neither the execution, delivery or performance of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including the making of any Loan and the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, will give rise to a non-exempt

            ownership or lease of property or the nature of its business makes such license or qualification necessary, except with respect to clause (b), except where the failure to so maintain any license or qualification would not reasonably be expected
            to result in a Material Adverse Effect; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any merger, amalgamation, consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, disposition or other transaction permitted under Section 6.04 or Section 6.08.

           

          SECTION 5.04    Payment of Liabilities, Including Taxes, Etc. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge all liabilities to

          SECTION 5.05    Maintenance of Insurance.

           

          (a)         Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, insure its properties and assets against loss or damage by fire and such other insurable hazards as
            such assets are commonly insured (including fire, extended coverage, property damage, workers’ compensation, public liability and business interruption insurance) and against other risks (including errors and omissions) in such amounts as
            similar properties and assets are insured by prudent companies in similar circumstances carrying on similar businesses, and with reputable and financially sound insurers having a financial strength rating of at least A- by A.M. Best Company (or
            otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) and including self-insurance to the extent customary (but not with respect to insurance on the ABL Priority Collateral), all as reasonably acceptable by the Administrative Agent and

          substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  Additionally, such policies of insurance shall provide that it shall not be canceled, modified or not renewed (i) by reason of nonpayment of premium
            except upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Administrative Agent or (ii) for any other reason except upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the
            Administrative Agent.  The applicable Loan Parties shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly of any occurrence causing a material loss or decline in value of the Collateral and the estimated (or actual, if available) amount of such loss or
            decline.  Subject in all cases to the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5.12), any monies received by the Administrative Agent constituting insurance proceeds may, at the option of the Administrative
            Agent, be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

            time reasonably require and otherwise sufficient to comply with all applicable rules and regulations promulgated under the Flood Laws and (b) promptly upon request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative
            Agent or such Lender as applicable, evidence of such compliance in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, including, without limitation, evidence of annual renewals of such flood insurance.

            wear and tear excepted) in accordance with the general practice of other businesses of similar character and size, all of those properties useful or necessary to its business, and from time to time, such Loan Party will make or cause to be made
            all appropriate repairs, renewals or replacements thereof, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect

           

          SECTION 5.07    Inspection Rights; Appraisals.

           

          (a)          Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, permit any of the officers or authorized employees or representatives of the Administrative Agent

            to conduct at such Loan Party’s premises field examinations of such Loan Party’s assets, liabilities, books and records, including examining and making extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with
            its officers and independent accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as reasonably requested.  The initial field examination (the “Initial Field Examination”), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
            in its Permitted Discretion, shall be completed at the expense of the Loan Parties and delivered to the Administrative Agent within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (which period of time may be extended (i) an additional ninety (90) days
            in the Permitted Discretion of the Administrative Agent and (ii) thereafter, an additional period of time with the consent of the Required Lenders).  The examinations contemplated by this Section 5.07(a) shall be limited to one per
            calendar year (excluding the Initial Field Examination) unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (during which time there shall be no limit on the number of field examinations) or (2) Availability is at any time during such
            calendar year less than the greater of (a) $70,000,000 and (b) 20% of the Maximum Credit Amount, in which case of clause (2), one additional field examination per calendar year may, and at the written direction of the Required Lenders shall, be
            done at the expense of the Loan Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, all such examinations and evaluations conducted during an Event of Default shall be at the expense of the Loan Parties. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the Administrative
            Agent, after exercising its rights of inspection, may prepare and

           

          
            116

          (b)          On an annual basis, at the Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrower Representative will provide the Administrative Agent with appraisals or updates thereof of the Loan Parties’
            Inventory from an appraiser engaged by and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and prepared on a basis reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such appraisals and updates to include, without limitation, information
            required by any applicable Requirement of Law.  The initial appraisal of the Loan Parties’ Inventory (the “Initial Appraisal”), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion, shall be
            completed at the expense of the Loan Parties and delivered to the Administrative Agent within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date (which period of time may be extended (i) an additional ninety (90) days in the Permitted Discretion of the
            Administrative Agent and (ii) thereafter, an additional period of time with the consent of the Required Lenders).  The appraisals contemplated by this Section 5.07(b) shall be limited to one per calendar year (excluding the Initial
            Appraisal) unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (during which time there shall be no limit on the number of appraisals) or (2) Availability is at any time during such calendar year less than the greater of (a)
            $70,000,000 and (b) 20% of the Maximum Credit Amount, in which case of clause (2), one additional field examination per calendar year may, and at the written direction of the Required Lenders shall, be done at the expense of the Loan Parties. 
            For the avoidance of doubt, all such appraisals commenced during the existence of an Event of Default shall be at the expense of the Loan Parties.

           

          SECTION 5.08    Keeping of Records and Books of Account.  Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary of such Loan Party to, maintain and keep proper books of
            record and account which enable such Loan Party and its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue financial statements in accordance with GAAP and as otherwise required by applicable Laws of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Loan
            Party or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Loan Party, and in which full, true and correct entries shall be made in all material respects of all its dealings and business and financial affairs.

           

          SECTION 5.09   Compliance with Laws and Material Contractual Obligations. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable
            Requirements of Law, including all Environmental Laws, in all respects, except, where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (except in the case of
            Anti-Terrorism Laws and Sanctions, with respect to which compliance shall be governed by Section 5.11).Each Loan Party will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to perform in all material respects its obligations under material agreements
            to which it is a party, except (A) where the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, or (B) where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result
            in a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company will maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Company, its Restricted Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with
            Anti-Terrorism Laws and applicable Sanctions.

           

          SECTION 5.10    Use of Proceeds.  The Loan Parties will use the Letters of Credit and the proceeds of the Loans to (a) refinance existing Indebtedness on the Closing Date and to pay

            or any other Loan Document.  No part of the proceeds of any Loan and no Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations T, U

            which affects a material portion of the Inventory included in the Borrowing Base, the Borrower Representative will and will cause each applicable Loan Party to comply in all respects with the provisions of this Section 5.12.  The
            Borrower Representative shall comply with its notice obligations in respect of Casualties relating to Inventory pursuant to Section 5.02(f).  Except during the existence of an Event of Default, the Company or such Loan Party may adjust,
            settle and compromise any such insurance claim or any proposed condemnation award and shall collect the Net Proceeds thereof and have the right to repair, refurbish, restore, replace or rebuild any asset affected by such Casualty (for the
            avoidance of doubt, without the obligation to make any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans under Section 2.11(b) as a result thereof during the period beginning on the day of such Casualty and ending on the date that any such repair,
            refurbishment, restoration, replacement or rebuilding is complete). The Company and such Loan Party will in good faith file and prosecute all claims necessary to obtain any such Net Proceeds. If an Event of Default exists and is continuing,
            then the Administrative Agent may appear in any such proceedings and negotiations and effect such settlement and such collection of any Net Proceeds, and the Borrower Representative and the applicable Loan Party each hereby authorizes the
            Administrative Agent, at its option, to adjust, settle, compromise and collect any Net Proceeds under any insurance with respect to such Collateral and any Net Proceeds pursuant to any Casualty with respect to such Collateral, and, until such
            time as such Event of Default no longer exists, each such Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, for such purposes.

            statements, fixture filings, and other documents) that are required under the Collateral Documents or this Agreement to cause the Collateral and Guaranty Requirement to be satisfied with respect to such Subsidiary. Upon execution and delivery
            thereof, each such Person (i) shall automatically become a Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable hereunder and thereupon shall have all of the rights, benefits, duties, and obligations in such capacity under the Loan Documents and (ii) will
            grant Liens to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Secured Parties, in any property of such Loan Party which constitutes Collateral, under the

          applicable Security Agreement.  With respect to any Excluded Subsidiary formed or acquired after the date of this Agreement and the Equity Interests of which are directly owned by a Loan Party and required to be
            pledged to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the applicable Security Agreement, the applicable Loan Party shall, within sixty (60) days (in each case, as such time may be extended in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) of the

            requested by the Administrative Agent and confirmation that the original certificates evidencing such pledged Equity Interests (if any) have been delivered to the Term Agent or Other Secured Debt Agent, if applicable, together with appropriate
            powers executed in blank, or if the Term Loan Obligations and Other Secured Debt Obligations have been repaid in full, the Administrative Agent.

           

          (b)        The Loan Parties will execute any and all further documents, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including authorizing the filing and recording of
            financing statements, fixture filings, and other documents) which may be required by any Requirement of Law or which the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request, to cause the Collateral and Guaranty Requirement to be and
            remain satisfied at all times.

           

          (c)          If a Mortgage Triggering Event occurs and is continuing, then upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Loan Party owning any Material Real Property shall

            of the Secured Parties, covering such real property, creating a Lien on such real property prior and superior in right to all other Liens on such real property (except Liens in favor of the Term Agent and Other Secured Debt Agent, and other
            Permitted Liens, and with respect to the Liens in favor of the Term Agent and Other Secured Debt Agent, subject in all events to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and, if applicable, Other Secured Debt Intercreditor Agreement) and an
            Environmental Indemnity with respect thereto, (ii) if requested by the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with (1) title searches in respect of such real property as well as a current

            Parties shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to request the delivery of any requested estoppels, (iii) deliver a completed flood hazard determination from a third party vendor and related documents required pursuant to
            the immediately following sentence and (iv) if requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent customary legal opinions relating to the matters described above, which opinions shall be from counsel reasonably
            satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (it being agreed that any legal counsel and their form of opinion previously or concurrently delivered to the Term Agent and/or Other Secured Debt Agent, as applicable, shall be deemed reasonably
            satisfactory to the Administrative Agent).  The Administrative Agent shall not enter into any Mortgage in respect of any Real Estate acquired by any Loan Party after the date hereof until (1) the date that occurs forty-five (45) days after the
            Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders (which may be delivered electronically) the following documents in respect of such Real Estate: (i) a completed flood

            compliance has been completed by the Lenders (such written confirmation not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).  Upon the request of the Borrower Representative at any time following any Mortgage Release Event (provided that
            no subsequent Mortgage Triggering Event shall have occurred), the Administrative Agent shall, at the cost and expense of the Loan Parties, execute and deliver mortgage or deed of trust releases relating to any Material Real Property upon which
            the Administrative Agent has filed a Mortgage and any other documents reasonably requested by the Borrower Representatives in connection therewith, in form and substance sufficient in accordance with local law to remove and discharge the
            Mortgage of record and as reasonably requested by any title insurer.  Additionally, during the continuation of a Mortgage Triggering Event, if any of the Loan Parties acquire any interest in any Material Real Property, such Loan Party shall
            promptly so notify the Administrative Agent, setting forth with specificity a description of the interest acquired, the location of the Material Real Property, any structures or improvements thereon and either an appraisal or such Loan Party’s
            good-faith estimate of the current value of such Material Real Property.

            Subsidiaries shall be required to undertake any such cleanup, removal, remedial or other action to the extent that its obligation to do so is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and adequate reserves have been set aside and
            are being maintained by the Loan Parties with respect to such circumstances in accordance with GAAP.

            under and in respect of such Canadian Pension Plan, including under any funding agreements and all applicable laws (including any fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations), unless any failure to so comply or perform would
            not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

           

          (b)          All employer or employee payments, contributions or premiums required to be remitted, paid to or in respect of each Canadian Pension Plan shall be paid or remitted by each Loan

          For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.01, at the time of incurrence, the Company will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the
            categories of Indebtedness described above (or any portion thereof) (other than clause (b) with respect to Term Loan Obligations and Other Secured Debt Obligations) without giving pro forma effect to the Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to any
            other clause or paragraph of this Section (or any portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to any such clause or paragraph (or any portion thereof).

           

          
            125

            
              

          

          Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable,
            amortization of original issue discount, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an
            Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 6.01.  In addition, Guaranties of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in
            the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as
            the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 6.01.

           

          For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a
            foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. Dollar
            equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt.  However, if the Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and the refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction
            to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of the refinancing, the U.S. Dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of the refinancing
            Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced.

           

          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.01, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Loan Parties and Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section
              6.01 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.  The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other
            Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which the respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect
            on the date of the refinancing.

           

          SECTION 6.02    Restricted Payments.

            distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary so long as, in the case of any dividend or distribution payable on or in respect of any class or series of securities issued by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary, a Loan Party
            or the Restricted Subsidiary which owns the equity interests of such non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series of
            securities));

          (v)          make any Restricted Investment;

            date of declaration or the giving of notice of such irrevocable redemption, as applicable, such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Agreement; provided that if such dividend, distribution or redemption is being made
            pursuant to Section 6.02(b)(xx), a Reserve shall be established by the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the Restricted Payment so declared;

            contributions to the equity capital of the Company (other than any Disqualified Stock or any Equity Interests sold to a Subsidiary of the Company) (collectively, including any such contributions, “Refunding Capital Stock”); and

           

          (B) the declaration and payment of dividends on the Retired Capital Stock solely out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the
            Company) of Refunding Capital Stock;

            accrued and unpaid interest, of the Term Loan Obligations, Other Secured Debt Obligations, or Junior Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired for value (plus the amount of any premium required to be paid under
            the terms of the instrument governing the Term Loan Obligations, Other Secured Debt Obligations, or Junior Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired, plus any tender premiums, plus any defeasance or other costs, fees and
            expenses incurred in connection therewith);

          (B)         such Indebtedness is subordinated as to right of payment and lien priority to the Obligations or the related Guarantee of such Loan Party, as the case may be, at
            least to the same extent as the applicable Term Loan Obligations, Other Secured Debt Obligations, or Junior Indebtedness so purchased, exchanged, redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired for value (it being understood that if the
            Junior Indebtedness so purchased, exchanged, redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired for value is unsecured, such Indebtedness shall be unsecured);

           

          (C)        such Indebtedness has a final scheduled maturity date equal to or later than the earlier of (x) the final scheduled maturity date of the applicable Term Loan
            Obligations, Other Secured Debt Obligations, or Junior Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired and (y) 91 days following the Maturity Date; and

           

          (D)         such Indebtedness has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time Incurred which is not less than the shorter of (x) the remaining Weighted Average Life to
            Maturity of the applicable Term Loan Obligations, Other Secured Debt Obligations, or Junior Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired and (y) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity that would result if all

            Party) of any Material Intellectual Property owned by the Company or another Loan Party shall be permitted under this Agreement unless such Material Intellectual Property is subject to a non-exclusive, irrevocable (until the Obligations (other

          As of the date hereof, all of the Subsidiaries of the Company will be Restricted Subsidiaries.  For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by
            the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Investments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such
            designation will only be permitted if a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

            appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; provided, however, that any such judgment or order shall not give rise to an Event of Default under this subsection (f) if and so long as (A) the amount of such judgment or order
            which remains unsatisfied is covered by a valid and binding policy of insurance between the respective Loan Party and a third-party insurer covering full payment of such unsatisfied amount and (B) such insurer has been notified, and has not
            disputed the claim made for payment, of the amount of such judgment or order; or

           

          (g)          a Change in Control shall have occurred; or

           

          (h)          any of the following events or conditions shall have occurred and such event or condition, when aggregated with any and all other such events or conditions set forth in this
            subsection (h), has resulted or is reasonably expected to result in liabilities of the Loan Parties and/or the ERISA Affiliates in an aggregate amount that would have a Material Adverse Effect:

           

          (i)           any ERISA Event shall have occurred with respect to a Plan; or

           

          (ii)          any of the Loan Parties or any of the ERISA Affiliates shall have been notified by the sponsor of a Multiemployer Plan that it has incurred Withdrawal Liability
            to such Multiemployer Plan; or

           

          (iii)        any of the Loan Parties or any of the ERISA Affiliates shall have been notified by the sponsor of a Multiemployer Plan that such Multiemployer Plan is insolvent
            or is being terminated, within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA, or has been determined to be in “endangered” or “critical” status within the meaning of Section 432 of the Code or Section 305 of ERISA and, as a result of such insolvency,
            termination or determination, the aggregate annual contributions of the Loan Parties and the ERISA Affiliates to all of the Multiemployer Plans that are insolvent, being terminated or in endangered or critical status at such time have been or
            will be increased over the amounts contributed to such Multiemployer Plans for the plan years of such Multiemployer Plans immediately preceding the plan year in which such reorganization, insolvency or termination occurs; or

           

          (iv)          any failure to satisfy the applicable minimum funding standards under Section 412(a) of the Code or Section 302(a) of ERISA, whether or not waived, shall exist
            with respect to one or more of the Plans; or

           

          (v)          any Lien shall exist on the property and assets of any of the Loan Parties or any of the ERISA Affiliates in favor of the PBGC;

           

          (vi)         a Canadian Pension Event shall have occurred; or

           

          (vii)        any Lien arises (save for contribution amounts not yet due) in connection with any Canadian Pension Plans; or

           

          (i)          (i) any provision of any Loan Document, at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason, ceases to be in full force and effect (other than as a result of the gross
            negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent); or any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof contests in writing the validity or enforceability of any provision of any Loan Document; or any Loan Party denies in writing that it has
            any or further liability or obligation under any provision of any Loan Document, or purports to revoke, terminate or rescind in writing any provision of any Loan Document or seeks to avoid or limit any Lien

           

          
            143

            
              

          

          purported to be created under any Collateral Document; or (ii) any Lien purported to be created under any Collateral Document shall cease to be, or shall be asserted by any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof not
            to be, a valid and perfected Lien on a material portion of the Collateral, with the priority required by the applicable Collateral Document (other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent); or

           

          (j)           there shall occur any material uninsured damage (for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes hereof, any loss insured by self-insurance or subject to a deductible or combination of
            deductibles not in excess of $2,500,000 with respect to any otherwise insured occurrence shall not constitute uninsured damage) to or loss, theft or destruction of any of the Collateral with a book value (determined in accordance with GAAP) in
            excess of $10,000,000.00 in the aggregate, as to which the Loan Parties do not repair, restore or replace the damaged or destroyed property within 180 days after the occurrence of such damaged or destruction, or any of the Loan Parties’ assets
            with a book value (determined in accordance with GAAP) in excess of $10,000,000.00 in the aggregate are attached, seized, levied upon or subjected to a writ or distress warrant; or such come within the possession of any receiver, manager,
            receiver and manager, trustee, custodian or assignee for the benefit of creditors and the same is not cured within forty-five (45) days thereafter;

           

          then, and in every such Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Loan Parties described in clause (e) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the
            continuance of such Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower Representative, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i)
            terminate the Commitments, whereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, but ratably as among the Classes of Loans and the Loans of each Class at
            the time outstanding, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), whereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest
            thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Loan Parties accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the
            Loan Parties; and in the case of any event with respect to the Loan Parties described in clause (e) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest
            thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Loan Parties accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the
            Loan Parties. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, increase the rate of interest applicable to the Loans and other Obligations to
            the extent set forth in this Agreement and exercise any rights and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC or the PPSA, as applicable.

           

          ARTICLE VIII.

           

          THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

           

          SECTION 8.01    Appointment. Each of the Lenders, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates that are Secured Parties and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the
            Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms
            of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the U.S., each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby
            grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute

           

          
            144

            
              

          

          any Collateral Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s behalf. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
            (including the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank), and the Loan Parties shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” as used herein or in any
            other Loan Documents (or any similar term) with reference to the Administrative 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 independent contracting parties.

           

          The Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent to, without any further consent of any Lender or any other Secured Party, enter into
            the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any Other Secured Debt Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreement with the collateral agent or other representatives of the holders of Indebtedness that is permitted to be secured by a Lien on
            the Collateral that is permitted (including with respect to priority) under this Agreement and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof (any of the foregoing, an “Intercreditor Agreement”). 

            The Lenders and the other Secured Parties irrevocably agree that (x) the Administrative Agent may rely exclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative as to whether any such other Liens are permitted and (y)
            the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, Other Secured Debt Intercreditor Agreement or any other Intercreditor Agreement referred to in the foregoing sentence, entered into by the Administrative Agent, shall be binding on the Secured Parties, and each
            Lender and other Secured Party hereby agrees that it will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or, if entered into and if applicable, any Other Secured Debt Intercreditor Agreement or other Intercreditor
            Agreement.

           

          For the purposes of the grant of security by any Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, each of the Lenders, on behalf of itself and any of its
            Affiliates that are Secured Parties and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the hypothecary representative (in such capacity, the “Attorney”) of the Secured Parties, as
            contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Québec, and to enter into, to take and to hold on their behalf, and for their benefit, any hypothec granted by any Loan Party in favour of the Attorney, and to exercise such powers and duties
            that are conferred upon the Attorney under any applicable deed of hypothec. The Attorney shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights
            and remedies given to the Attorney pursuant to any deed of hypothec, applicable laws or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Administrative Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without
            limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Lenders, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any deed of hypothec on such terms and
            conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Assumption, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the appointment of the Attorney
            as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity. The substitution of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII
            shall also constitute the substitution of the Attorney and any successor Administrative Agent shall automatically (and without any further act or formality) become the successor Attorney for the purposes of each deed of hypothec referred to
            above.

           

          SECTION 8.02    Rights as a Lender. The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may
            exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate
            thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

           

          
            145

            
              

          

          SECTION 8.03    Duties and Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the
            generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to
            take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative 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 necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty
            to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
            capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
            circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to
            have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or
            inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the
            performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument
            or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm
            receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the
            provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or
            prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution.

           

          SECTION 8.04    Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
            statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it
            to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it,
            and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

           

          SECTION 8.05    Actions through Sub-Agents. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents
            by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties,
            including, with respect to the Canadian Borrowers, through its Toronto branch. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such
            sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent.

           

          
            146

            
              

          

          SECTION 8.06   Resignation. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time
            by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower Representative. Upon receipt of any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower Representative and with the consent of the Borrower
            Representative (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to appoint a successor; provided, however, in no event shall any successor Administrative Agent be a Disqualified Institution without the prior written consent
            of the Borrower Representative. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the
            retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its
            appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by its successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent
            shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor, unless otherwise
            agreed by the Borrowers and such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative
            Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such
            resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest
            granted to the Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the
            Secured Parties and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment
            in accordance with this paragraph (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action under any Collateral Document, including any action required to maintain the
            perfection of any such security interest) and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, provided that until the time the Required Lenders
            appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided herein, (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be
            made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank. Following the
            effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article, Section 2.17(d) and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other
            Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as
            Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above.

           

          SECTION 8.07    Non-Reliance.

           

          (a)          Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and letters of credit and not investments in a business enterprise or
            securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender
            and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its

           

          
            147

            
              

          

          own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
            other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates) as it shall from time to time
            deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or
            to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

           

          (b)          Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (ii) the Administrative Agent (A) makes no
            representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (B) shall not be liable for any
            information contained in any Report; (iii) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely
            significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (iv) it will keep all
            Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use and it will not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (v) without limiting the generality of any other
            indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, (A) it will hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may
            reach or draw from any Report in connection with any extension of credit 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; and (B) it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other
            amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any such other Person as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

           

          SECTION 8.08    Other Agency Titles. The joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, syndication agent(s), and co-documentation agents shall not have any right, power, obligation,
            liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each
            Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders in their respective capacities as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers, syndication agent(s), and co-documentation agents, as applicable, as it makes with
            respect to the Administrative Agent in the preceding paragraph.

           

          SECTION 8.09    Not Partners or Co-Venturers; Administrative Agent as Representative of the Secured Parties.

           

          (a)          The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative
            Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has
            become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

           

          (b)          In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Secured Parties within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the New York Uniform Commercial
            Code. Each

           

          
            148

            
              

          

          Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Secured Party
            (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Collateral Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the
            Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of the Collateral Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, the Administrative
            Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the
            Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

           

          SECTION 8.10    Flood Laws. PNC has adopted internal policies and procedures that address requirements placed on federally regulated lenders under (i) the National Flood Insurance
            Reform Act of 1994 (which comprehensively revised the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973) as now or hereafter in effect or any successor statute thereto, (ii) the Flood Disaster Reform Act of 2004
            as now or hereafter in effect or any successor statute thereto, (iii) the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 as now or hereafter in effect or any successor statute thereto, and (iv) related legislation (collectively, the “Flood
            Laws”). PNC, as administrative agent or collateral agent on a syndicated facility, will post on the applicable electronic platform (or otherwise distribute to each Lender in the syndicate) documents that it receives in connection with the Flood
            Laws. However, PNC reminds each Lender and Participant in the facility that, pursuant to the Flood Laws, each federally regulated Lender (whether acting as a Lender or Participant in the facility) is responsible for assuring its own compliance
            with the flood insurance requirements.

           

          SECTION 8.11    No Reliance on Administrative 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 Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act
            or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any Sanctions or other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following
            items relating to or in connection with any of their Borrowers, their Affiliates or their agents, the other Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping,
            (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such Sanctions or Anti-Terrorism Laws.

          All such notices and other communications (i) sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received, (ii) sent
            by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent, provided that if not given during normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next
            Business Day of the recipient, or (iii) delivered through Electronic Systems to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below shall be effective as provided in such paragraph.

           

          (b)          Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent. Each of
            the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (on behalf of the Loan Parties) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by Electronic Systems pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided
            that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. In the case of notices from the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent, such acceptable and approved Electronic Systems include email to the
            Administrative Agent at the email addresses identified above or as otherwise designated in writing pursuant to Section 9.01(c) below. All such notices and other communications (i) sent to an email 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 email or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) posted to an Internet or intranet website shall

          (d)          Electronic Systems.

           

          
            151

            
              

          

          (i)          Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make Communications (as defined below) available to the Issuing Bank and
            the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak, ClearPar or a substantially similar Electronic System.

           

          (ii)        Any Electronic System used by the Administrative Agent is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of
            such Electronic Systems 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 any Electronic System. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related
            Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrowers or the other Loan Parties, any Lender, the Issuing Bank 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 Borrower’s, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through an Electronic System (other
            than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or the material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Person, in each case, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a
            court of competent jurisdiction).  “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions
            contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Electronic System.

           

          SECTION 9.02    Waivers; Amendments.

           

          (a)          No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a
            waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
            right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No
            waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
            effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless
            of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

           

          (b)         Except as provided in the first sentence of Section 2.09(f) (with respect to any commitment increase), neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision
            hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent acting at the
            direction of the Required Lenders) or (y) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the
            consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (ii) reduce or forgive
            the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable

           

          
            152

            
              

          

          hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby (except (1) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any
            post-default increase in interest rates, which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders and (2) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the determination of the Borrowing Base shall not constitute a
            reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (ii)), (iii) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other
            Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting
            Lender) directly affected thereby (except (1) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates, which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders and (2) that any amendment or
            modification of defined terms used in the determination of the Borrowing Base shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (iii)), (iv) change Section 2.10(b), 2.18(b) or 2.18(d)
            in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (v) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of either Borrowing Base or change
            the definition of the term “U.S. Borrowing Base”, “Canadian Borrowing Base” or “Borrowing Base” or any component definition thereof if as a result thereof the amounts available to be borrowed by the Borrowers would be increased without the
            written consent of each of the Lenders, provided that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the Adminsitrative Agent to change, establish or eliminate any Reserves, (vi) change any of the
            provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or
            grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby, (vii) change Section 2.20, without the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender),
            (viii) release any Borrower from the Obligations or Loan Party from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender (other than any
            Defaulting Lender), or (ix) except as provided in clause (c) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender); provided further
            that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank
            or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be (it being understood that any amendment to Section 2.20 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender). The Administrative Agent may also
            amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04, and this Agreement may be amended without any additional consents to provide for increased or additional Commitments in the manner contemplated
            by Section 2.09 and in connection with a successor LIBO Rate in the manner contemplated by Section 2.14(b).  Additionally, without the consent of any Lender or any Issuing Bank, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent may
            (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting,
            perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any
            security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law or this Agreement or in each case to otherwise enhance the rights or benefits of any Lender under any
            Loan Document.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter and any other fee letters entered into after the date hereof may be amended in accordance with the terms thereof.

           

          (c)         The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, without any further consent of the Secured Parties, (i) to release any Liens granted to the Administrative
            Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (A) upon the termination of all the Commitments, payment and satisfaction

           

          
            153

            
              

          

          in full in cash of all Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and the Cash Collateralization (or, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, the providing of a backup standby letter of credit
            satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks) of all outstanding Letters of Credit, (B) constituting property being sold or disposed of to a Person that is not (and is not required to become) a Loan Party in a transaction
            permitted by this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any certificate to that effect, without further inquiry), and, to the extent that the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100% of the Equity Interest
            of a Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release any Loan Guaranty provided by such Subsidiary, (C) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction not
            prohibited under this Agreement, (D) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII, (E) constituting
            property of a Loan Party that is being released as a Loan Party as provided below, (F) constituting property which is or becomes an Excluded Asset, and (G) with respect to any Material Real Property subject to a Mortgage, upon a Mortgage
            Release Event to the extent the Borrower Representative has requested a release thereof in accordance with Section 5.14(c), and (ii) to release any Loan Guaranty provided by any U.S. Loan Party or Canadian Loan Party (A) that is
            dissolved as permitted under Section 6.08 in connection with a voluntary liquidation or dissolution thereof permitted by such Section, (B) upon the disposition of all of the outstanding Equity Interests of a Subsidiary of the Company
            (other than a Canadian Borrower) to a Person other than a Borrower or a Subsidiary in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05 (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate to that effect provided by any
            Loan Party without further inquiry), or (C) that becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate to that effect provided by any Loan Party without further inquiry). Any such release
            shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the
            proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.  In connection with the foregoing, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and
            deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Loan Party or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.02(c), all without the further consent
            or joinder of any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party.  In connection with any release hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Secured Parties hereby authorize the
            Administrative Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Loan Parties and at the Loan Parties’ expense in connection with the release of any Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of
            such Subsidiary, property or asset, as applicable; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative containing such certifications as the Administrative
            Agent shall reasonably request

           

          (d)          If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is
            obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but has not been obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrowers may elect to replace a
            Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
            Bank shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all
            obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of
            such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without

           

          
            154

            
              

          

          limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such
            replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

           

          (e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower Representative only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or
            any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency.

           

          (f)          Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that, if there is any Real Estate subject to a Mortgage, any increase, extension or renewal of any of the Commitments or Loans or
            any other incremental or additional credit facilities hereunder, but excluding (i) any continuation or conversion of borrowings, (ii) the making of any Revolving Loans, or (iii) the issuance, renewal or extension of Letters of Credit shall be
            subject to and conditioned upon: (1) the prior delivery of all flood hazard determination certifications, acknowledgements and evidence of flood insurance and other flood-related documentation with respect to such Real Estate subject to a
            Mortgage as required by the Flood Laws and as otherwise reasonably required by the Administrative Agent and (2) the Administrative Agent shall have received written confirmation from the Lenders that flood insurance due diligence and flood
            insurance compliance have been completed by the Lenders (such written confirmation not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed).

           

          SECTION 9.03    Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

           

          (a)          Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, pay all (i) reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
            Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel (in each case limited to one primary law firm in the U.S., one primary law firm in Canada, and one law firm in any other
            relevant jurisdiction, except in the case of actual or perceived conflicts of interest, in which case, such additional counsel for the affected persons) for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution
            (including, without limitation, via the internet or through an Electronic System) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
            provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance,
            amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the

            conflicts of interest, in which case, such additional counsel for the affected persons) for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with
            the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout,
            restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit (in each case limited to one primary law firm in the U.S., one primary law firm in Canada, and one law firm in any other relevant jurisdiction, except in the case of
            actual or perceived conflicts of interest, in which case, such additional counsel for the affected persons). Subject to Section 5.07, such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses being reimbursed by the Loan Parties under this

            155

            
              

          

          (ii)          field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the Administrative Agent or the reasonable and
            documented internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination;

           

          (iii)         fees and other charges for (A) lien and title searches and title insurance and (B) recording Mortgages (if applicable), filing financing statements and
            continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Administrative Agent’s Liens;

           

          (iv)         sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take; and

          (b)          The Loan Parties, subject to Section 9.21, shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any
            of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented
            fees, charges and disbursements of any outside counsel for any Indemnitee (in each case limited to one primary law firm in the U.S., one primary law firm in Canada, and one law firm in any other relevant jurisdiction, except in the case of
            actual or perceived conflicts of interest, in which case, such additional counsel for the affected persons), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i)
            the execution or delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the
            consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a
            Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or
            operated by a Loan Party or a Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to a Loan Party or a Subsidiary, or (iv)  any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
            whether or not such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Loan Parties or their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person and whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and
            regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a
            court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) arise from any claim, litigation, investigation, arbitration or
            proceeding (a “Proceeding”) that does not directly or primarily involve an act or omission of the Company or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than any Proceeding against any
            Indemnitee solely in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender, Issuing Bank, bookrunner, arranger or any similar role hereunder). This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes
            other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

           

          
            156

            
              

          

          (c)          To the extent that any Loan Party fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank
            (or any Related Party of any of the foregoing) under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank (or any Related Party of any of the foregoing),
            as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (it being understood that the Loan Parties’ failure to pay any
            such unpaid amount shall not relieve any Loan Party of any default in the payment thereof); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or
            asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank in
            connection with such capacity.

           

          (d)          To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use
            by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) (other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad
            faith or willful misconduct of, or the material breach of the Loan Documents by, such Indemnitee, in each case, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) or (ii) on any theory of liability, for
            special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or
            thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this paragraph (d) shall relieve any Loan Party of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against
            special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

           

          (e)          All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor.

           

          (f)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Canadian Loan Party shall have any liability under this Section 9.03 for any expenses or indemnities that do not arise from the
            commitments or extensions of credit to the Canadian Loan Parties, the conduct or alleged conduct of any Canadian Loan Party, the assets of any Canadian Loan Party, any Default or Event of Default relating to any Canadian Loan Party, any
            services provided to any Canadian Loan Party or any enforcement action against any Canadian Loan Party.

           

          SECTION 9.04    Successors and Assigns.

           

          (a)          The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any
            Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted
            assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement,
            expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit),
            Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right,
            remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

           

          
            157

            
              

          

          (b)          (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its
            rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

           

          (A)           the Borrower Representative, provided that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object
            thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof, and provided further that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for an assignment to a
            Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

           

          (B)            the Administrative Agent shall be required for assignments in respect of the Revolving Loan if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a
            Commitment in respect of such Revolving Loan, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;

           

          (C)             each Issuing Bank; and

           

          (D)             the Swingline Lender.

           

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

           

          (A)            except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
            assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is
            delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower Representative shall be
            required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

           

          (B)             each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
            (including its obligations to fund the Loans and other products under the Canadian Sublimit);

           

          (C)             the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation
            fee of $3,500 and the tax forms required by Section 2.17(f);

           

          (D)           the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or
            more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Company, the other Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who
            may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and

           

          
            158

            
              

          

          (E)             each assignee Lender shall acquire and equal proportionate share (as determined by the assigned Commitments in relation to all other Commitments of other
            Lenders), either directly, or through an Affiliate or a branch, of the Canadian Sublimit.

           

          For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:

           

          “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary
            course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

           

          “Ineligible Institution” means a (a) natural person, (b) Defaulting Lender, (c) holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a
            natural person or relative(s) thereof; provided that, such holding company, investment vehicle or trust shall not constitute an Ineligible Institution if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose of acquiring any Loans or
            Commitments, (y) is managed by a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and
            a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business, (d) a Permitted Holder, Loan Party or a Subsidiary or other Affiliate of a Loan
            Party, or (e) subject to Section 9.04(e) below, a Disqualified Institution.

           

          (iii)        Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and
            Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder
            shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and
            obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances
            occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any part
            hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of
            this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

           

          (iv)         The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its U.S. offices a copy of each
            Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of and stated interest on the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender
            pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person
            whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing
            Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

           

          
            159

            
              

          

          (v)          Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative
            Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the
            Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required
            to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
            information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
            Register as provided in this paragraph.

           

          (c)          Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities
            (a “Participant”) other than an Ineligible Institution in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A)
            such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the
            Issuing Bank 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. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
            participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
            provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each
            Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) and (g) (it being
            understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
            Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any
            greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a
            Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.

           

          Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section
              2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
            Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each
            Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (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 Section 5f.103-1(c) of the
            United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such

           

          
            160

            
              

          

          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.

           

          (d)          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 without
            limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security
            interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

           

          (e)          Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to Disqualified Institutions:

           

          (i)          No assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the assigning
            Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Company has consented to such assignment in writing in its sole and absolute discretion,
            in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment or participation).  For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the
            applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be
            disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution by the Borrowers of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any
            assignment in violation of this Section 9.04(e) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this Section 9.04(e) shall apply.

           

          (ii)          If any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Company’s prior written consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if
            any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any
            Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Commitment, and/or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in
            accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 9.04), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees permitted under this Section 9.04 at the lesser of (x)
            the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts)
            payable to it hereunder.

           

          (iii)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports
            or other materials provided to the Lenders by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established
            for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for
            the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented
            in the same proportion as the Lenders

           

          
            161

            
              

          

          that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any Insolvency Laws (a “Relevant
              Plan”), each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Relevant Plan, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Relevant Plan notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such
            vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Insolvency Laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the
            applicable class has accepted or rejected such Relevant Plan in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other Insolvency Laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a
            determination by the applicable bankruptcy court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

           

          (iv)        The Administrative Agent shall have the right, and the Company hereby expressly authorizes the Administrative Agent, to (A) post the list of Disqualified
            Institutions provided by the Company and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system, including that portion of such electronic transmission
            system that is designated for “public side” Lenders and/or (B) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.

           

          SECTION 9.05          Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments
            delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of
            any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
            any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable
            under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain
            in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any
            other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.

           

          SECTION 9.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

           

          (a)          This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken
            together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
            subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have
            been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and
            inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

           

          (b)          Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, emailed pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual executed
            signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in

           

          
            162

            
              

          

          connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be
            of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law,
            including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

           

          SECTION 9.07    Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
            extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
            invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

           

          SECTION 9.08    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to
            time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for
            the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be
            unmatured; provided that the foregoing authorization shall not entitle any Lender to apply any deposits (i) of any Canadian Loan Party to the satisfaction of any of the U.S. Secured Obligations or (ii) to the extent that such deposit
            constitutes an Excluded Asset. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice
            shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. In the
            event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any right of setoff under this Section, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions in Section
            2.20 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 Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall
            provide promptly to the Administrative Agent and Borrower Representative a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE
            FOREGOING, NO LENDER, NO ISSUING BANK AND NO PARTICIPANT SHALL EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OF SETOFF, BANKER’S LIEN, OR THE LIKE AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF ANY LOAN PARTY HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDER WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF
            THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

           

          SECTION 9.09    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

           

          (a)          The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the law
            of conflicts) of the State of New York, but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks; provided, however, that if the laws of any jurisdiction other than New York shall govern in regard to the validity,
            perfection or effect of perfection of any lien or in regard to procedural matters affecting enforcement of any liens in collateral, such laws of such other jurisdictions shall continue to apply to that extent.

           

          (b)         Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in New
            York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or

           

          
            163

            
              

          

          enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York
            State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees 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 in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
            Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

           

          (c)          Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
            laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the
            fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

           

          (d)          Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan
            Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

           

          SECTION 9.10   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
            DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
            REPRESENTATIVE, OTHER AGENT (INCLUDING ANY ATTORNEY) OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND
            THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

           

          SECTION 9.11    Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect
            the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

           

          SECTION 9.12    Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except
            that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person (including any
            self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by any Requirement of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in
            connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f)
            subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or
            (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or

           

          
            164

            
              

          

          derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower Representative or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a
            result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party and, as far as such recipient is aware, has not been
            made available as a result of a breach of any obligation of confidentiality of such source with respect to such information; provided that, in the case of clause (c), the party disclosing such information shall provide to the Borrower
            Representative prior written notice (except where prohibited by applicable law or where not reasonably commercially practicable, in which case, prompt written notice shall be provided) of such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable
            law and, in the case of a subpoena, the applicable Governmental Authority has not otherwise requested that the disclosing party refrain from disclosing to the Borrower Representative the existence of such subpoena, and, in each case if
            requested by the Borrower Representative in writing, such disclosing party shall cooperate with the Borrower Representative to the extent commercially reasonable with respect to a protective order for, or other confidential treatment of, such
            disclosure.  For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Loan Parties relating to the Loan Parties or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the
            Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties under circumstances in which, as far as such recipient is aware, such information has not been made available as a result of a breach of any
            obligation of confidentiality of such source with respect to such information. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if
            such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

           

          EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY, AND
            ITS AFFILIATES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION
            IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

           

          ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE LOAN PARTIES OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE
            SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE LOAN PARTIES AND THE
            ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW,
            INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

           

          SECTION 9.13    Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make
            any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of
            the Board) for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation
            of any Requirement of Law.

           

          
            165

            
              

          

          SECTION 9.14     USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
            PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan
            Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

           

          SECTION 9.15     Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

           

          (a)          Each Loan Party acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your
            client” laws, in each case in other jurisdictions in any jurisdiction in which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is located or is doing material business (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”),

            the Lenders may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Loan Parties and their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Loan Parties, and
            the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Loan Party shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any prospective assignee or participant of
            a Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence.

           

          (b)          If the Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then
            the Administrative Agent:

           

          (i)          shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the
            Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

           

          (ii)          shall provide to each Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

           

          Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Lenders agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Agent has any obligation
            to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Loan Party or any such authorized
            signatory in doing so.

           

          SECTION 9.16    Disclosure. Each Loan Party, each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may
            hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates.

           

          SECTION 9.17    Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent
            and the other Secured Parties, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, the PPSA or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain
            possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal
            with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

           

          
            166

            
              

          

          SECTION 9.18    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and
            other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the
            Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful,
            the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or
            periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

           

          SECTION 9.19    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or
            other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between
            such Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lenders and their Affiliates, on the other hand, (B) such Loan Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and
            (C) such Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Lenders and their Affiliates is and has
            been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for such Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, or any other
            Person and (B) no Lender or any of its Affiliates has any obligation to such Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except, in the case of a Lender, those obligations expressly set forth herein
            and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of such Loan Party and its Affiliates, and no Lender or
            any of its Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to such Loan Party or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against each of the
            Lenders and their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

           

          SECTION 9.20   Authorization to Distribute Certain Materials to Public-Siders.  The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and
            each Issuing Bank materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrowers hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) and (b) Public-Siders may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information
            with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities.  The Loan Parties shall be
            deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and the Lenders to treat Borrower Materials marked by an authorized representative of the Borrower Representative as “PUBLIC” or otherwise at any time filed with the SEC as
            not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws.  All Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available
            by the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates on Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system, including that portion of such electronic transmission system that is designated for Public-Siders.  The Administrative Agent
            and its Affiliates and the Lenders shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” or that are not at any time filed with the SEC as being suitable only for posting on a portion of Syndtrak or a substantially
            similar electronic transmission system which is not marked as being available for “Public Investors” or “Public-Siders” (or such other similar

           

          
            167

            
              

          

          terms). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to mark any Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

           

          SECTION 9.21    Obligations of Foreign Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, none of the Canadian Loan Parties, any
            Excluded Domestic Subsidiary, nor any Foreign Subsidiary of the Company shall be liable or in any manner responsible for, or be deemed to have guaranteed, directly or indirectly, whether as a primary obligor, guarantor, indemnitor, or
            otherwise, and none of their assets shall secure, directly or indirectly, any obligations (including principal, interest, fees, penalties, premiums, expenses, charges, reimbursements, indemnities or any other U.S. Obligations) in respect of any
            U.S. Loan Party under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any document with respect to Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations or any other agreement executed and/or delivered in connection with any of the foregoing
            (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the U.S. Loan Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for the U.S. Obligations and the Canadian Obligations).

           

          SECTION 9.22    Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert an amount due hereunder in the currency in which it is due (the
            “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange applied shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase the Original Currency with the Second
            Currency at the Spot Rate on the date two Business Days preceding that on which judgment is given. Each Loan Party agrees that its obligation in respect of any Original Currency due from it hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment or
            payment in such other currency, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following the date the Administrative Agent receives payment of any sum so adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency, the Administrative Agent
            may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase, in the New York foreign exchange market, the Original Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so paid; and if the amount of the Original Currency so purchased or could have
            been so purchased is less than the amount originally due in the Original Currency as a result of such judgment, each Loan Party agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such payment or judgment to indemnify the Administrative
            Agent against such loss. The term “rate of exchange” in this Section means the Spot Rate at which the Administrative Agent, in accordance with normal practices, is able on the relevant date to purchase the Original Currency with the Second
            Currency, and includes any premium and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

           

          SECTION 9.23   Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that any Loan Party has, or hereafter may be entitled to claim or may acquire, for itself, any Collateral or other assets of the Loan
            Parties, any immunity (whether sovereign or otherwise) from suit, jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) with respect to
            itself, any Collateral or any other assets of the Loan Parties, such Loan Party hereby waives such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder and under any promissory notes evidencing the Loans hereunder and any other Loan Document to the
            fullest extent permitted by applicable law and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this Section shall be effective to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under the Foreign Sovereign
            Immunities Act of 1976 (as amended, and together with any successor legislation) and are, and are intended to be, irrevocable for purposes thereof.

           

          SECTION 9.24    Process Agent. Each Canadian Loan Party hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Borrower Representative, in the case of any suit, action or proceeding brought in
            the United States as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents that may be served in any
            action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such service may be made by mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) or

           

          
            168

            
              

          

          delivering a copy of such process to such Canadian Loan Party in care of the Borrower Representative at the Borrower Representative’s address set forth in Section 9.01, and each such Canadian Loan Party hereby
            irrevocably authorizes and directs the Borrower Representative to accept such service on its behalf. As an alternative method of service, each Canadian Loan Party irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or
            proceeding by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) of copies of such process to the Borrower Representative or such Canadian Loan Party at its address specified in Section 9.01. Each Canadian Loan Party agrees 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.

           

          SECTION 9.25    Termination and Release of Collateral.

           

          (a)          Liens in Collateral will be released, and applicable Loan Parties shall be released of their obligations under the Loan Documents, in accordance with the terms of Section
              9.02(c) hereof.

           

          (b)          In connection with the termination of all Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and the Cash
            Collateralization (or, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, the providing of a backup standby letter of credit satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks) of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the Administrative
            Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, agrees to negotiate in good faith with the Borrower Representative, and to execute and deliver, a customary payoff letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the
            Borrower Representative, which payoff letter shall provide for, among other things, (i) an acknowledgment of the termination of all Loan Documents, other than any terms thereunder that expressly survive termination, (ii) delivery to the
            Borrower Representative or its designee of all property pledged to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including without limitation stock or other certificates, notes receivable, certificates of title, change of address forms and other
            instruments) or, if applicable, lost collateral affidavits with respect thereto, (iii) delivery to the Borrower Representative of the original promissory notes executed in connection with the Obligations marked “CANCELLED”, (iv) delivery to the
            Borrower Representative or its designee of mortgage or deed of trust releases against any real property of any Loan Party or property subject to any title laws and other like releases, revocations of direct pay notices to account debtors,
            Credit Card Notifications, releases of deposit account control agreements, Collateral Access Agreements and similar instruments or documents, (v) delivery to the Borrower Representative or its designee of UCC-3 termination statements with
            respect to the UCC and PPSA discharge filings made by the Administrative Agent in respect of each Loan Party, as applicable, and (vi) a release of liability from the Loan Parties in favor of the Secured Parties.

           

          SECTION 9.26    Publicity.  Each Loan Party and each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its sole expense, after providing prior notice thereof to the Borrower
            Representative, to reference this Agreement and the syndication and arrangement of the loan facility contemplated herein (but not the individual Lenders, bookrunners or arrangers) in connection with marketing, press release or other
            transactional announcements or updates; provided that the content of any such marketing, press release or other transactional announcements or updates shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower Representative (it being understood
            that tombstones used in pitchbooks by Administrative Agent (as opposed to public announcements) referencing the syndication and arrangement of this Agreement and the loan facility contemplated herein, or inclusion of same on lists or in other
            formats (other than public announcements), in each case providing the same information as is typically included on tombstones, shall not require prior notice thereof to, or acceptance by, the Borrower Representative).

           

          SECTION 9.27    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement,
            arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected

           

          
            169

            
              

          

          Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an Affected Resolution Authority and agrees and consents
            to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

           

          (a)          the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party
            hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

           

          (b)          the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability, (ii) a conversion of
            all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such
            shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with
            the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

           

          SECTION 9.28    Certain ERISA Matters.  Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person
            became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, to and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any
            other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

           

          (i)           such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations) of one or more U.S. Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the
            Letters of Credit or the Commitments,

           

          (ii)          the transaction exemption set forth in one or more prohibited transaction exceptions (or “PTEs”), such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions
            determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance
            company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable
            with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, and the conditions for exemptive relief thereunder are and will continue
            to be satisfied in connection therewith,

           

          (iii)        (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified
            Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation
            in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the
            requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

           

          (iv)         such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

           

          
            170

            
              

          

          SECTION 9.29    Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreement Obligations or
            any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit
            Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in
            respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the
            United States or any other state of the United States):

           

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

           

          (b)          As used in this Section 9.29, the following terms have the following meanings:

           

          “BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

           

          “Covered Entity” means any of the following:

           

          a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b);

           

          a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or

           

          a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).

           

          “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

           

          “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

           

          

          
            171

            
              

          

          ARTICLE X.

           

          U.S. LOAN GUARANTY

           

          SECTION 10.01  Guaranty. Each U.S. Loan Party hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely, unconditionally
            and irrevocably guarantees to the Secured Parties, the prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all reasonable and
            documented costs and expenses, including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.03) and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank
            and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Borrower, any Loan Party or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and
            expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the “U.S. Guaranteed Obligations”; provided, however, that the definition of “U.S. Guaranteed Obligations” shall not create any guarantee by any U.S. Loan Party of (or grant of
            security interest by any U.S. Loan Party to support, as applicable) any Excluded Swap Obligations of such U.S. Loan Party for purposes of determining any obligations of any U.S. Loan Party). Each U.S. Loan Party further agrees that the U.S.
            Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this U.S. Guaranty apply
            to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender or Issuing Bank that extended any portion of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations.

           

          SECTION 10.02  Guaranty of Payment. This U.S. Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each U.S. Loan Party waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the
            Issuing Bank or any Lender to sue any other Loan Party, any other guarantor of, or any other Person obligated for, all or any part of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations (each, a “U.S. Obligated Party”), or to enforce its rights against any
            collateral securing all or any part of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations.

           

          SECTION 10.03  No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty. (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each U.S. Loan Party hereunder are unconditional and
            absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension,
            renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Loan Party or any other Obligated
            Party liable for any of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any U.S. Obligated Party or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of
            any U.S. Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any U.S. Loan Party may have at any time against any U.S. Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person,
            whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transaction.

           

          (b)         The obligations of each U.S. Loan Party hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,
            illegality or unenforceability of any of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any U.S. Obligated Party, of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations or any part
            thereof.

           

          (c)          Further, the obligations of any U.S. Loan Party hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or
            any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the U.S. Guaranteed

           

          
            172

            
              

          

          Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non- perfection or invalidity of any indirect or
            direct security for the obligations of any Loan Party for all or any part of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other U.S. Obligated Party liable for any of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to
            act by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of
            any of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such U.S. Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any U.S. Loan Party as a
            matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations).

           

          SECTION 10.04  Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each U.S. Loan Party hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any U.S. Loan
            Party or the unenforceability of all or any part of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any U.S. Loan Party or any other U.S. Obligated Party, other than the indefeasible payment
            in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each U.S. Loan Party irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not
            provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any U.S. Obligated Party or any other Person. Each U.S. Loan Party confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not
            raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral securing all or a part of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations and held by it by one or more judicial or
            nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any such Collateral, compromise or adjust any part of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations, make any other
            accommodation with any U.S. Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any U.S. Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such U.S. Loan Party under this U.S. Guaranty except
            to the extent the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each U.S. Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election
            may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any U.S. Loan Party against any U.S. Obligated Party or any security.

           

          SECTION 10.05  Rights of Subrogation. No U.S. Loan Party will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or
            indemnification, that it has against any U.S. Obligated Party or any Collateral, until the Loan Parties have fully performed all their obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, and the other Secured Parties.

           

          SECTION 10.06  Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations (including a payment effected through exercise of a
            right of setoff) is rescinded, or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Secured Party in its discretion),
            each U.S. Loan Party’s obligations under this U.S. Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, the Lenders, or the
            other Secured Parties are in possession of this U.S. Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party, all such amounts
            otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the U.S. Loan Parties forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

           

          SECTION 10.07  Information. Each U.S. Loan Party assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other

           

          

          
            173

            
              

          

          circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each U.S. Loan Party assumes and incurs under this U.S. Guaranty, and agrees
            that none of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any duty to advise any U.S. Loan Party of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

           

          SECTION 10.08  [Reserved.]

           

          SECTION 10.09  [Reserved.]

           

          SECTION 10.10 Maximum Liability. The provisions of this U.S. Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign
            bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any U.S. Loan Party under this U.S. Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable
            on account of the amount of such U.S. Loan Party’s liability under this U.S. Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this U.S. Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the U.S.
            Loan Party or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant U.S. Loan Party’s
            “Maximum U.S. Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum U.S. Liability of each U.S. Loan Party is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no U.S.
            Loan Party nor any other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum U.S. Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any U.S. Loan Party hereunder shall not be
            rendered voidable under applicable law. Each U.S. Loan Party agrees that the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum U.S. Liability of each U.S. Loan Party without impairing this U.S. Guaranty or
            affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any U.S. Loan Party’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum U.S. Liability.

           

          SECTION 10.11  Contribution. In the event any U.S. Loan Party (a “Paying U.S. Loan Party”) shall make any payment or payments under this U.S. Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a
            result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this U.S. Guaranty, each other U.S. Loan Party (each a “Non-Paying U.S. Loan Party”) shall contribute to such Paying U.S. Loan Party an amount equal to
            such Non-Paying U.S. Loan Party’s Applicable Share of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying U.S. Loan Party. For purposes of this Section, each Non-Paying U.S. Loan Party’s “Applicable Share” with respect to any such
            payment or loss by a Paying U.S. Loan Party shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (a) such Non-Paying U.S. Loan Party’s Maximum U.S. Liability as of such date (without giving
            effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying U.S. Loan Party’s Maximum U.S. Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying U.S. Loan
            Party from the other U.S. Loan Parties after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (b) the aggregate Maximum U.S. Liability of all U.S. Loan Party hereunder (including such Paying U.S. Loan Party) as of such
            date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum U.S. Liability has not been determined for any U.S. Loan Party, the aggregate amount of all monies received
            by such U.S. Loan Parties from the other Loan Parties after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any U.S. Loan Party’s several liability for the entire amount of the U.S.
            Guaranteed Obligations (up to such U.S. Loan Party’s Maximum U.S. Liability). Each of the U.S. Loan Parties covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this U.S. Guaranty from a Non-Paying U.S. Loan Party shall be
            subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the

           

          
            174

            
              

          

          Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the U.S. Loan Parties and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

           

          SECTION 10.12  Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a U.S. Loan Party under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each
            Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without
            any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

           

          SECTION 10.13  Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor that is a U.S. Loan Party hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds
            or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this U.S. Guaranty in respect of a Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each such Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be
            liable under this Section 10.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.13 or otherwise under this U.S. Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to
            fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Except as otherwise provided herein, the obligations of each such Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.13 shall remain in full force and effect until the
            termination of all Swap Obligations. Each such Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.13 constitute, and this Section 10.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other
            Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

           

          SECTION 10.14  Common Enterprise.  Each U.S. Loan Party represents and warrants that the successful operation and condition of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the continued
            successful performance of the functions of the group of the Loan Parties as a whole and the successful operation of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the successful performance and operation of each other Loan Party. Each U.S. Loan Party
            expects to derive benefit (and its board of directors or other governing body has determined that it may reasonably be expected to derive benefit), directly and indirectly, from (i) successful operations of each of the other Loan Parties and
            (ii) the credit extended by the Lenders to the Borrowers hereunder, both in their separate capacities and as members of the group of companies. Each U.S. Loan Party has determined that execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and
            any other Loan Documents to be executed by such Loan Party is within its purpose, in furtherance of its direct and/or indirect business interests, will be of direct and/or indirect benefit to such Loan Party, and is in its best interest.

           

          ARTICLE XI.

           

          CANADIAN LOAN GUARANTY

           

          SECTION 11.01  Guaranty.  Each Canadian Loan Party hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Secured Parties, the
            prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Canadian Secured Obligations and all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, all
            reasonable and documented court costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and any Lender in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Canadian Secured Obligations from, or in
            prosecuting any action against, the Canadian Borrower, any Canadian Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Canadian Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Canadian Secured Obligations, collectively
            the “Canadian Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Canadian Loan Party further agrees that the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent

           

          
            175

            
              

          

          from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Canadian Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign
            branch or Affiliate of any Lender or Issuing Bank that extended any portion of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations.

           

          SECTION 11.02  Guarantee of Payment. This Canadian Guaranty is a Guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Canadian Loan Party waives any right to require the Administrative
            Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender or any other Secured Party to sue any other Loan Party, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations (each, a “Canadian Obligated Party”),

            or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations. In addition, as an original and independent obligation under this Canadian Guaranty, each Canadian Loan Party shall:

           

          (a)          indemnify each Canadian Obligated Party and its successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns and keep the Canadian Obligated Parties indemnified against all costs, losses,
            expenses and liabilities of whatever kind resulting from the failure by the Loan Parties or any of them, to make due and punctual payment of any of the Canadian Secured Obligations or resulting from any of the Canadian Secured Obligations being
            or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective against any Loan Party (including, but without limitation, all legal and other costs, charges and expenses incurred by each Canadian Obligated Party, or any of them, in connection with
            preserving or enforcing, or attempting to preserve or enforce, its rights under this Canadian Guaranty); and

           

          (b)          pay on demand the amount of such costs, losses, expenses and liabilities whether or not any of the Canadian Obligated Parties has attempted to enforce any rights against any Loan
            Party or any other Person or otherwise.

           

          SECTION 11.03  No Discharge or Diminishment of Canadian Guaranty.

           

          (a)          Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Canadian Loan Party hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation,
            impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of
            the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Canadian Loan Party or any other Canadian Obligated Party liable for any of the Canadian Guaranteed
            Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Canadian Obligated Party or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Canadian
            Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Canadian Loan Party may have at any time against any Canadian Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other person,
            whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

           

          (b)          The obligations of each Canadian Loan Party hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity,
            illegality or unenforceability of any of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Canadian Obligated Party, of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations
            or any part thereof.

           

          (c)          Further, the obligations of any Canadian Loan Party hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank
            or any Lender or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to

           

          
            176

            
              

          

          any provision of any agreement relating to the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Canadian Loan Party
            for all or any part of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other Canadian Obligated Party liable for any of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, any
            Issuing Bank or any Lender or any other Secured Party with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of
            the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Canadian Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Canadian Loan Party
            as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations).

           

          SECTION 11.04  Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Canadian Loan Party hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any
            Canadian Loan Party or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Canadian Loan Party, other than the payment in full in cash of the
            Canadian Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Canadian Loan Party irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided
            for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Canadian Obligated Party, or any other Person. Each Canadian Loan Party confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not
            raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on, or otherwise enforce against, any securing all or a part of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations and held by it by one or
            more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any such Collateral, compromise or adjust any part of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations,
            make any other accommodation with any Canadian Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Canadian Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Canadian Loan Party under
            this Canadian Guaranty except to the extent the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations have been fully paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Canadian Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even
            though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Canadian Loan Party against any Canadian Obligated Party or any security.

           

          SECTION 11.05  Rights of Subrogation. No Canadian Loan Party will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or
            indemnification, that it has against any Canadian Obligated Party, or any Collateral, until the Loan Parties have fully performed all their obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders.

           

          SECTION 11.06  Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
            returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Canadian Loan Party or otherwise, each Canadian Loan Party’s obligations under this Canadian Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the
            payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders or other Secured Parties are in possession of this Canadian Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Canadian
            Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Canadian Loan Party, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations
            shall nonetheless be payable by the Canadian Loan Parties promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent.

           

          SECTION 11.07 Information. Each Canadian Loan Party assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the other Canadian Loan Party’s financial condition and assets,
            and of

           

          
            177

            
              

          

          all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Canadian Loan Party assumes and incurs under this
            Canadian Guaranty, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Canadian Loan Party of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

           

          SECTION 11.08 Maximum Canadian Liability. In any action or proceeding involving any corporate law, or any provincial, territorial, state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency,
            reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Canadian Loan Party under this Canadian Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, avoidable, invalid or unenforceable
            on account of the amount of such Canadian Loan Party’s liability under this Canadian Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Canadian Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action
            by the Canadian Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount
            determined hereunder being the relevant Canadian Loan Party’s “Maximum Canadian Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum Canadian Liability of each Canadian Loan Party is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative
            Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Canadian Loan Party nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Canadian
            Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Canadian Loan Party hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Canadian Loan Party agrees that the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations may at any time
            and from time to time exceed the Maximum Canadian Liability of each Canadian Loan Party without impairing this Canadian Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders hereunder,
            provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Canadian Loan Party’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Canadian Liability.

           

          SECTION 11.09 Contribution. In the event any Canadian Loan Party (a “Paying Canadian Loan Party”) shall make any payment or payments under this Canadian Guaranty or shall suffer any
            loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Canadian Guaranty, each other Canadian Loan Party (each a “Non-Paying Canadian Loan Party”) shall contribute to such Paying Canadian Loan
            Party an amount equal to such Non-Paying Canadian Loan Party’s “Applicable Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Canadian Loan Party. For purposes of this Article XI, each Non-Paying Canadian Loan
            Party’s “Applicable Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Canadian Loan Party shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Canadian Loan
            Party’s Maximum Canadian Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Canadian Loan Party’s Maximum Canadian Liability has not been
            determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Canadian Loan Party from the other Canadian Loan Parties after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum
            Canadian Liability of all Canadian Loan Parties hereunder (including such Paying Canadian Loan Party) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a
            Maximum Canadian Liability has not been determined for any Canadian Loan Party, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Canadian Loan Parties from the other Canadian Loan Parties after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital
            infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Canadian Loan Party’s several liability for the entire amount of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Canadian Loan Party’s Maximum Canadian Liability). Each of
            the Canadian Loan Parties covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Canadian Guaranty from a Non-Paying Canadian Loan Party shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of
            the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of all of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing

           

          
            178

            
              

          

          Banks, the Lenders and the Canadian Loan Parties and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

           

          SECTION 11.10  Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Canadian Loan Party under this Article XI is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Canadian Loan
            Party to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Canadian Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Canadian Loan
            Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

           

          SECTION 11.11 Common Enterprise.  Each Canadian Loan Party represents and warrants that the successful operation and condition of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the continued
            successful performance of the functions of the group of the Loan Parties as a whole and the successful operation of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the successful performance and operation of each other Loan Party. Each Canadian Loan
            Party expects to derive benefit (and its board of directors or other governing body has determined that it may reasonably be expected to derive benefit), directly and indirectly, from (i) successful operations of each of the other Loan Parties
            and (ii) the credit extended by the Lenders to the Borrowers hereunder, both in their separate capacities and as members of the group of companies. Each Canadian Loan Party has determined that execution, delivery, and performance of this
            Agreement and any other Loan Documents to be executed by such Loan Party is within its purpose, in furtherance of its direct and/or indirect business interests, will be of direct and/or indirect benefit to such Loan Party, and is in its best
            interest.

           

          ARTICLE XII.

           

          THE BORROWER REPRESENTATIVE

           

          SECTION 12.01  Appointment; Nature of Relationship. The Company is hereby appointed by each of the Borrowers as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Borrower
            Representative”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Borrower Representative to act as the contractual representative of such Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth
            herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article XII. Additionally, the Borrowers hereby appoint the Borrower
            Representative as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of the Loans in the Funding Account(s), at which time the Borrower Representative shall promptly disburse such Loans to the appropriate Borrower(s), provided that, in the case of a
            Revolving Loan, such amount shall not result in a violation of the Revolving Exposure Limitations. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective officers, directors, agents or employees, shall not be liable to the Borrower
            Representative or any Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 12.01.

           

          SECTION 12.02  Powers. The Borrower Representative shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Borrower Representative by the
            terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Borrower Representative shall have no implied duties to the Borrowers, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action
            specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Borrower Representative.

Section 2.1 shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission that the Company is eligible to use (i) as reasonably requested by the Requesting Holder (which form may include a confidential submission if
permitted under applicable rules of the Commission) and (ii) as shall permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the Demand Notice. If, in connection with
any registration under this Section 2.1 that is requested by the Requesting Holder to be on a Short-Form Registration Statement, the managing underwriter, if any, shall advise the Company that in its opinion, or if the
Company independently determines in good faith, the use of another permitted form is of material importance to the success of the offering, then such registration shall be permitted to be on such other permitted form. 

(e) Demand Withdrawal. A Requesting Holder may withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration by
providing written notice to the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the earliest of (i) effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement, (ii) the filing of any Registration Statement relating to such Demand
Registration that includes a pricing range or (iii) the commencement of a roadshow relating to the Registration Statement for such Demand Registration, and no such registration shall be counted for purposes of determining the number of Demand

(5) Business Days) after receipt of any such written request, the Company shall give written notice to all other Holders of Registrable Securities and otherwise comply with Section 3.1; provided, however,
that the Apollo Stockholders may request the inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such Shelf Registration Statement at any time or from time to time, and the Company shall add such Registrable Securities and the securities of any other
Holder designated by the Company to the Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as practicable, and (B) the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 60 days with the
Commission a Short-Form Registration Statement (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) to register the sale of all or a portion of the Registrable Securities then outstanding on a delayed or continuous basis in accordance with Rule 415
under the Securities Act (a “Shelf Registration”) and (ii) the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective the Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as practicable after such filing. In no
event shall the Company be required to file, and maintain effectiveness of, more than one Shelf Registration Statement at any one time pursuant to this Section 2.2. For the avoidance of doubt, no request for the filing of a
Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) shall count as a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2.1(a).

initiate one Underwritten Offering (in each case, including any block trades and reduced by the number of Demand Registrations previously exercised by such Holder under Section 2.1) pursuant to
Section 2.2(c) below; provided, that (A) no Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be deemed to have been exercised or to count against the number of Demand Registrations for the purposes of
Section 2.1 if such Shelf Holder is not able to sell all of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold therein as a result of the participation of any other Holder in any such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and the
application of Section 2.5(b); (B) the Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect more than one Demand Registration or Underwritten Shelf Take-Down at the request of the SCP Investor in any 12-month period; and (C) subject to Section 8.4, the SCP Investor and the Datapipe Investor each may provide a Transferee with all of (or in the case of the SCP Investor, a portion of)

Company has previously effected a Shelf Take-Down that is an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.2, the Company shall not be required to effect an
additional Shelf Take-Down that is an Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 2.2 until a period of 75 days shall have elapsed from the date of such prior Shelf Take-Down that was an Underwritten Offering. 

(c) Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs. 

(i) Subject to Section 2.2(b), if a Demand Holder that is a Shelf Holder (collectively,
“Investor Shelf Holders”) so elects in a written request delivered to the Company (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”), a Shelf Take-Down may be in the form of an Underwritten Offering (an
“Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”) and, if necessary, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file and effect an amendment or supplement to its Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose as soon as practicable. Such
initiating Investor Shelf Holder shall indicate in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice the number of Registrable Securities of such Investor Shelf Holder to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and whether it intends for such
Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to involve a customary “road show” (including an “electronic road show”) or other marketing effort by the underwriters (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”); provided,
that any such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down requested by an Investor Shelf Holder shall be deemed to reduce the number of Demand Rights such Investor Shelf Holder is entitled to under Section 2.1(a). 

(ii) Promptly upon delivery of an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice with respect to a Marketed Underwritten Shelf-Take Down
(but in no event more than ten (10) days prior to the expected date of such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down), the Company shall promptly deliver a written notice of such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to all Investor Shelf Holders
with Registrable Securities under such Shelf Registration Statement and, in each case, subject to Section 2.5(b) and Section 2.7, the Company shall include in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf
Take-Down all such Registrable Securities of such Investor Shelf Holders that are registered on such Shelf Registration Statement for which the Company has received written requests, which requests must specify the aggregate amount of such
Registrable Securities of such Holder to be offered and sold pursuant to such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, for inclusion therein at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expected date of such Marketed Underwritten Shelf
Take-Down. 
 (iii) Subject to Section 2.2(b), if an Investor Shelf Holder desires to effect an
Underwritten Shelf Take-Down that is not a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (a “Restricted Shelf Take-Down”), the Investor Shelf Holder initiating such Restricted Shelf Take-Down shall provide written notice (a
“Restricted Shelf Take-Down Notice”) of such Restricted Shelf Take-Down to the other Investor Shelf Holders as far in advance of the completion of such Restricted Shelf Take-Down as shall be reasonably practicable in light of the
circumstances applicable to such Restricted Shelf Take-Down, which Restricted Shelf Take-Down Notice shall set forth (A) the total number of Registrable Securities expected to be offered and sold in such Restricted Shelf Take-Down, (B) the
expected plan of distribution of such Restricted Shelf Take-Down and (C) an

invitation to the other Investor Shelf Holders to elect to include in the Restricted Shelf Take-Down Registrable Securities held by such other Investor Shelf Holders (but subject to
Section 2.5(b) and Section 2.7) and (D) the action or actions required (including the timing thereof) in connection with such Restricted Shelf Take-Down with respect to the other Investor
Shelf Holders if any such Investor Shelf Holder elects to exercise such right. Any Restricted Shelf Take-Down shall be (x) deemed to reduce the number of Demand Rights the initiating Investor Shelf Holder is entitled to under
Section 2.1(a), (y) required to comply with a minimum size requirement equal to fifty percent (50%) of the minimum size requirements set forth in Section 2.2(b) (unless the initiating Investor
Shelf Holder requests the filing of a new Shelf Registration Statement in order to effect such Restricted Shelf Take-Down and at such time the Company is not eligible to use an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, in which case the minimum size
requirements set forth in Section 2.2(b) shall apply), and (z) subject to the limits set forth in Section 2.2(b). 

(iv) Upon delivery of a Restricted Shelf Take-Down Notice, the other Investor Shelf Holders may elect to sell Registrable
Securities in such Restricted Shelf Take-Down, at the same price per Registrable Security and pursuant to the same terms and conditions with respect to payment for the Registrable Securities as agreed to by the initiating Investor Shelf Holder, by
sending an irrevocable written notice (a “Take-Down Participation Notice”) to the initiating Investor Shelf Holder, indicating its election to participate in the Restricted Shelf Take-Down and the total number of its Registrable
Securities to include in the Restricted Shelf Take-Down (but, in all cases, subject to Section 2.5(b) and Section 2.7). 

(v) Notwithstanding the delivery of any Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice, all determinations as to whether to complete any
Underwritten Shelf Take-Down and as to the timing, manner, price and other terms of any Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be at the discretion of the Investor Shelf Holder initiating the Underwritten Shelf Take-Down. 

(d) Non-Marketed Shelf Take-Downs. If a Shelf Holder desires to effect a Shelf Take-Down that
does not constitute an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down (a “Non-Marketed Shelf Take-Down”), such Shelf Holder shall so indicate in a written request delivered to the Company no later than three
(3) Business Days prior to the expected date of such Non-Marketed Shelf Take-Down (or such shorter period as the Company may agree), which request shall include (i) the aggregate number and class or
classes of Registrable Securities expected to be offered and sold in such Non-Marketed Shelf Take-Down, (ii) the expected plan of distribution of such Non-Marketed
Shelf Take-Down and (iii) the action or actions required (including the timing thereof) in connection with such Non-Marketed Shelf Take-Down, and, if necessary, the Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to file and effect an amendment or supplement to its Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose as soon as practicable. 
 (e)
Filing for Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. Upon the Company becoming a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, (x) the Company shall give written notice to all of the Holders as promptly as practicable but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days
thereafter and such notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the basis on which the Company has become a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, and (y) the Company shall, upon written request by either Apollo

Stockholder, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 20 Business Days after receiving such request, use its reasonable best efforts to register, under an Automatic Shelf
Registration Statement, the sale of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company agrees that if any Holder beneficially owns any Registrable Securities three years after the filing of the most recent
Automatic Shelf Registration Statement in compliance with this Section 2.2(e), the Company shall file and cause to remain effective a new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement that registers the sale of any Registrable
Securities that remain outstanding at such time. The Company shall give written notice of filing such Registration Statement to all of the Holders as promptly as practicable thereafter. At any time after the filing of an Automatic Shelf Registration
Statement by the Company, if the Company is no longer a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer (the “Determination Date”), within ten (10) Business Days after such Determination Date, the Company shall (A) give written notice thereof
to all of the Holders and (B) to the extent the Company continues to qualify for the use of Form S-3 promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor form thereto, the Company shall file, if
necessary, a Short-Form Registration Statement (or a post-effective amendment converting the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement to a Short-Form Registration Statement) covering all of the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to have such Short-Form Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable after the date the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is no longer useable by the Holders to sell their Registrable Securities.

 (f) Continued Effectiveness. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.2(e) hereof, as applicable, continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by an
Investor Shelf Holder until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all Registrable Securities registered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold and (ii) such shorter period as Investor Shelf Holders holding a majority of the
Registrable Securities may reasonably determine. 
 Section 2.3 Deferral or Suspension of Registration. If (a) the Company
receives a Demand Notice, a request to file a Shelf Registration Statement, or a written request from a Shelf Holder for a Shelf Take-Down and the Board of Directors, in its good faith judgment, determines that it would be materially adverse to the
Company for such Registration Statement to be filed or declared effective on or before the date such filing or effectiveness would otherwise be required hereunder, or for such Registration Statement or prospectus included therein to be used to sell
Shares or for such Shelf Take-Down to be effected, because such action would: (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) based on the advice
of the Company’s outside counsel, require disclosure of material non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company
unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or (b) the Company is subject to any of its customary suspension or blackout periods, for all or part of the period of such blackout period, or upon issuance by
the Commission of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of proceedings with respect to such Registration Statement under Section 8(d) or 8(e) of the Securities Act, then the Company shall have
the right to defer such filing (but not the preparation), initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein for a period of not more than 60 days (or such longer period as the Requesting
Holder or Shelf Holder, as applicable, may determine). If the Company shall so 

  
 11 

Table of Contents

 
postpone the filing or initial effectiveness of a Registration Statement with respect to a Demand Notice and if the Requesting Holder within 30 days after receipt of the notice of postponement
advises the Company in writing that it has determined to withdraw such Demand Notice, then such Demand Registration shall be deemed to be withdrawn and shall not be deemed to be an exercise of one of the Demand Rights to which such Requesting Holder
is entitled under Section 2.1. Unless consented to in writing by the Holders, the Company shall not use the deferral or suspension rights provided under this Section 2.3 (x) more than twice in any 12-month period (except that the Company shall be able to use this right more than twice in any 12-month period if the Company is exercising such right during the 15-day period prior to the Company’s regularly scheduled quarterly earnings announcement date and the total number of days of postponement in such 12-month period does
not exceed 120 days) or (y) except as contemplated in the parenthetical in (x) immediately above, in the aggregate for more than 90 days in any 12-month period. In the event of any deferral or
suspension pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Company shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Requesting Holder, if applicable, apprised of the estimated length of the anticipated delay; and
(ii) notify the Requesting Holder or Shelf Holders, as applicable, promptly upon termination of the deferral or suspension. After the expiration of the deferral or suspension period and without any further request from the Requesting Holder or
Shelf Holders, as applicable, to the extent such Requesting Holder has not withdrawn the Demand Notice, if applicable, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare and file a Registration Statement or post-effective amendment or
supplement to the applicable Registration Statement or document, or file any other required document, as applicable, so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will not include a
material misstatement or omission and will be effective and useable for the sale of Registrable Securities. 
 Section 2.4 Effective
Registration Statement. A registration requested pursuant to this Article II shall not be deemed to have been effected: 

(a) unless a registration statement with respect thereto has been declared effective by the Commission and remains effective in compliance
with the provisions of the Securities Act and the laws of any U.S. state or other jurisdiction applicable to the disposition of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement for not less than 180 days (or such shorter period as will
terminate when all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with such registration statement) or, if such registration statement relates to an underwritten offering, such longer period as, in the opinion of counsel
for the Company, a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer; 

(b) if, after it becomes effective, such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the
Commission or other governmental authority or court for any reason other than a violation of applicable law solely by any Selling Investor and has not thereafter become effective; or 

(c) if, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the conditions to closing specified in an underwriting agreement applicable to the Company
are not satisfied or waived other than by reason of any breach or failure by any Selling Investor.

 Section 2.5 Selection of Underwriters; Cutback. 

(a) Selection of Underwriters. If a Requesting Holder intends to offer and sell the Registrable Securities covered by its request under
this Article II by means of an Underwritten Offering, such Requesting Holder shall, in reasonable consultation with other participating Holders, select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer such offering,
which managing underwriter or underwriters shall be firms of nationally recognized standing and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. If an Investor Shelf Holder intends to offer and sell the Registrable Securities covered by its request
under this Article II by means of an Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, the participating Investor Shelf Holders shall mutually select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer such offering, which managing
underwriter or underwriters shall be firms of nationally recognized standing and shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, nationally recognized investment banks shall be deemed reasonably acceptable for purposes of
this Section 2.5. 
 (b) Underwriter’s Cutback. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Article II or Section 3.1, if the managing underwriter or underwriters of an Underwritten Offering in connection with a Demand Registration or a Shelf Registration advise the Company in their
good faith opinion that the inclusion of all such Registrable Securities proposed to be included in the Registration Statement or such Underwritten Offering would be reasonably likely to interfere with the successful marketing, including, but not
limited to, the pricing, timing or distribution, of the Registrable Securities to be offered thereby or in such Underwritten Offering, and no Holder has delivered a Piggyback Notice with respect to such Underwritten Offering, then the number of
Shares proposed to be included in such Registration Statement or Underwritten Offering shall be allocated among the Company, the Selling Investors and all other Persons selling Shares in such Underwritten Offering in the following order: 

(i) first, the Registrable Securities of the class or classes proposed to be registered held by the Holder that
initiated such Demand Registration, Shelf Registration or Underwritten Offering and the Registrable Securities of the same class or classes (or convertible at the Holder’s option into such class or classes) held by other Holders requested to be
included in such Demand Registration, Shelf Registration or Underwritten Offering (pro rata among the respective Holders of such Registrable Securities in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the amounts of Registrable Securities
requested to be included in such registration by each such Holder at the time of such Demand Registration, Shelf Registration or Underwritten Offering); 

(ii) second, all other securities of the same class or classes (or convertible at the holder’s option into such
class or classes) requested to be included in such Demand Registration, Shelf Registration or Underwritten Offering other than Shares to be sold by the Company; and 

(iii) third, the Shares of the same class or classes to be sold by the Company. 

No Registrable Securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of the underwriter’s marketing limitation shall be included in such registration or
offering. If the underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the Company may include securities for its own account (or for the account of any other Persons) in such registration if the underwriter so agrees
and if the number of Registrable Securities would not thereby be limited.

 Section 2.6 Lock-up. 

(a) If requested by the managing underwriters in connection with any Underwritten Offering, each Holder (i) who beneficially owns 1% or
more of the outstanding Shares or (ii) who is a natural person and serving as a director or executive officer of the Company shall agree to be bound by customary lock-up agreements providing that such
Holder shall not, directly or indirectly, effect any Transfer (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of any such Shares without prior written consent from the underwriters managing such Underwritten Offering during a period beginning on the
date of launch of such Underwritten Offering and ending up to 90 days from and including the date of pricing or such shorter period as reasonably requested by the underwriters managing such Underwritten Offering (the “Lock-Up Period”); provided that (A) the foregoing shall not apply to any Shares that are offered for sale as part of such Underwritten Offering, (B) such
Lock-Up Period shall be no longer than and on substantially the same terms as the lock-up period applicable to the Company and the executive officers and directors of
the Company and (C) such Lock-Up Period shall not commence unless the Company notifies the Holders in writing prior to the commencement of the Lock-Up Period. Each
such Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the underwriters to such effect. The provisions of this Section 2.6(a) will no longer apply to a Holder if
(x) such Holder ceases to hold any Shares or (y) except in the case of any Holder who is a current director or executive officer of the Company, such Holder beneficially owns less than 1% of the outstanding Shares. 

(b) Nothing in Section 2.6(a) shall prevent: (i) any Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company or
corporation from (A) making a distribution of Shares to the partners, members or stockholders thereof or (B) Transferring Shares to an Affiliate of such Holder; (ii) any Holder who is an individual from Transferring Shares to
(A) an individual by will or the laws of descent or distribution or by gift without consideration of any kind or (B) a trust or estate planning-related entity for the sole benefit of such Holder or a lineal descendant or antecedent or
spouse; (iii) any Holder from (A) pledging, hypothecating or otherwise granting a security interest in Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares to one or more lending institutions as collateral or security for any
loan, advance or extension of credit and any transfer upon foreclosure upon such Shares or such securities or (B) Transferring Shares pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court or regulatory
agency or (iv) any Holder from Transferring Shares in a manner that was permitted under, but subject to the conditions described in, the lock-ups entered into in connection with the Company’s initial
public offering; provided that, in the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), such Transfer is otherwise in compliance with applicable securities laws and; provided, further, that, in the case of clause (ii),
subclause (B) of clause (i) and, if applicable, clause (iv), each such Transferee agrees in writing to become subject to the terms of this Agreement by executing an Adoption Agreement and agrees to be bound by the applicable underwriter lock-up. 
 Section 2.7 Participation in Underwritten Offering; Information by Holder.
No Holder may participate in an Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Shares on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements, and in accordance with

  
 14 

Table of Contents

 
the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including any lock-up arrangements, and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. In addition, the Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder or Holders and the distribution proposed by such
Holders, as applicable, as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Article II. Nothing in this
Section 2.7 shall be construed to create any additional rights regarding the registration of Shares in any Person otherwise than as set forth herein. 

Section 2.8 Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement,
including without limitation (i) all registration and filing fees, and any other fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with any stock exchange, the Commission and FINRA (including, if applicable, the fees and expenses of
any “qualified independent underwriter” and its counsel as may be required by the rules and regulations of FINRA), (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or blue sky laws (including fees and disbursements of
counsel for the underwriters or Selling Investors in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Shares and determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions as the managing underwriters or the Demand Holders
may designate), (iii) all printing and related messenger and delivery expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for the Shares in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing prospectuses, all fees
and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of all independent certified public accountants of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including the expenses of any special audit and “cold comfort” letters required by or incident to such
performance)), (iv) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Shares on any securities exchange and all rating agency fees, (v) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of the Selling Investors’ Counsel, (vi) all fees and documented out-of-pocket
disbursements of underwriters customarily paid by the issuer or sellers of securities, including liability insurance if the Company so desires or if the underwriters so require and expenses of any special experts retained in connection with the
requested registration (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, and fees and disbursements of counsel to underwriters (other than such fees and disbursements incurred in connection with any registration or
qualification of Shares under the securities or blue sky laws of any state)), (vii) Securities Act liability insurance or similar insurance if the Company or the underwriters so require in accordance with then-customary underwriting practice,
(viii) fees and expenses of other Persons retained by the Company, and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one legal counsel chosen by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration,
Piggyback Registration or Shelf Registration, as applicable, and (ix) for any Demand Holder, any other reasonable expenses customarily paid by the issuers of securities, including reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses for such
Demand Holder’s legal counsel if other than the legal counsel selected by the Holders in (viii) above, will be borne by the Company, regardless of whether the Registration Statement becomes effective (or such offering is completed) and
whether or not all or any portion of the Registrable Securities originally requested to be included in such registration are ultimately included in such registration; provided, however, that (x) any underwriting discounts,
commissions or fees in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities will be borne by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Shares so registered and sold, (y) transfer taxes with respect to the sale of Registrable
Securities will be borne by the Holder of such Registrable Securities and (z) the fees and expenses of any other counsel, accountants or other persons retained or employed by any Holder will be borne by such Holder.

 ARTICLE III 

PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION 

Section 3.1 Notices. 

(a) If the Company at any time proposes for any reason to register the sale of a class or classes of Shares under the Securities Act (other
than a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8, or any successor of either such form, or a registration relating solely to the offer and sale to the Company’s
directors or employees pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan or arrangement) whether or not Shares are to be sold by the Company or otherwise, and whether or not in connection with any Demand Registration pursuant to
Section 2.1, any Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 2.2 or any other agreement (such registration, a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give to each Holder holding
Shares of the same class or classes proposed to be registered (or convertible at the Holder’s option into such class or classes) eligible to participate in such Piggyback Registration written notice of its intention to so register the Shares at
least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as reasonably practical) prior to the expected date of filing of such Registration Statement or amendment thereto in which the Company first intends to identify the selling stockholders and
the number of Registrable Securities to be sold (each such notice, an “Initial Notice”). The Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 below, use its
reasonable best efforts to include in such Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold, all Registrable Securities of the same class or classes as the Shares proposed to be registered (or
convertible at the Holder’s option into such class or classes) with respect to which the Company has received written requests from Holders for inclusion therein within the time period specified by the Company in the applicable Initial Notice,
which time period shall be not less than five (5) Business Days after sending the applicable Initial Notice (each such written request, a “Piggyback Notice”), which Piggyback Notice shall specify the number of Shares proposed
to be included in the Piggyback Registration. 
 (b) If a Holder does not deliver a Piggyback Notice within the period specified in
Section 3.1(a), such Holder shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any and all rights under this Article III with respect to such registration (but not with respect to future registrations in
accordance with this Article III). For the avoidance of doubt, no Piggyback Registration shall count towards the number of Demand Registrations that a Demand Holder is entitled to make pursuant to
Section 2.1 or Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs that an Investor Shelf Holder is entitled to make pursuant to Section 2.2. 

(c) No registration effected under this Section 3.1 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any
registration upon request under Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 hereof, and no registration effected pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant
to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 hereof. The Initial Notice, the Piggyback Notice and the contents thereof shall be kept confidential until the public filing of the Registration Statement.

 Section 3.2 Underwriter’s Cutback. If the managing
underwriter of an Underwritten Offering (including an offering pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2) that includes a Piggyback Registration advises the Company that it is the managing
underwriter’s good faith opinion that the inclusion of all such Registrable Securities proposed to be included in the Registration Statement for such Underwritten Offering would be reasonably likely to interfere with the successful marketing,
including, but not limited to, the pricing, timing or distribution, of the Registrable Securities to be offered thereby, then the number of Shares proposed to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall be allocated among the Company, the
Selling Investors and all other Persons selling Shares in such Underwritten Offering in the following order: 
 (a) If the Piggyback
Registration referred to in Section 3.1 is initiated as an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, then, with respect to each class proposed to be registered: 

(i) first, the Shares held by the Company of the class or classes proposed to be registered that the Company proposes to
sell, as applicable; 
 (ii) second, all Registrable Securities of the same class or classes (or convertible at the
Holder’s option into such class or classes) held by Holders requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration (pro rata among the respective Holders of such Registrable Securities in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the
amounts of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by each such Holder at the time of such Piggyback Registration); and 

(iii) third, all other securities of the same class or classes (or convertible at the holder’s option into such
class or classes) requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration. 
 (b) if the Piggyback Registration referred to in
Section 3.1 is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of any Holder, then, with respect to each class proposed to be registered: 

(i) first, the Registrable Securities of the class or classes proposed to be registered held by such Holder and the
Registrable Securities of the same class or classes (or convertible at the Holder’s option into such class or classes) held by other Holders requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration (pro rata among the respective Holders
of such Registrable Securities in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the amounts of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by each such Holder at the time of such Piggyback Registration); 

(ii) second, all other securities of the same class or classes (or convertible at the holder’s option into such
class or classes) requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration other than Shares to be sold by the Company; and 

(iii) third, the Shares of the same class or classes to be sold by the Company.

Table of Contents

 (c) if the Piggyback Registration referred to in Section 3.1 is an
underwritten secondary registration on behalf of any holder of Common Stock other than a Holder, then, with respect to each class proposed to be registered: 

(i) first, the Registrable Securities of the class or classes proposed to be registered held by such holder; 

(ii) second, the Registrable Securities of the same class or classes (or convertible at the Holder’s option into
such class or classes) held by Holders requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration (pro rata among the respective Holders of such Registrable Securities in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the amounts of Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such registration by each such Holder at the time of such Piggyback Registration); 

(iii) third, all other securities of the same class or classes (or convertible at the holder’s option into such
class or classes) requested to be included in such Piggyback Registration other than Shares to be sold by the Company; and 

(iv) fourth, the Shares of the same class or classes to be sold by the Company. 

Section 3.3 Company Control. Except for a Registration Statement being filed in connection with the exercise of a Demand Right or
a Shelf Registration, the Company may decline to file a Registration Statement after an Initial Notice has been given or after receipt by the Company of a Piggyback Notice, and the Company may withdraw a Registration Statement after filing and after
such Initial Notice or Piggyback Notice, but prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, provided that (i) the Company shall promptly notify the Selling Investors in writing of any such action and (ii) nothing in this
Section 3.3 shall prejudice the right of any Demand Holder to immediately request that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 to
the extent permitted thereunder. 
 Section 3.4 Selection of Underwriters. If the Company intends to offer and sell Shares by
means of an Underwritten Offering (other than an offering pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2), the Company shall select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer such Underwritten
Offering, which managing underwriter or underwriters shall be firms of nationally recognized standing. 
 Section 3.5 Withdrawal of
Registration. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw all or a part of its Piggyback Notice by giving written notice to the Company of such withdrawal at least five (5) Business Days prior to the earliest of (i) effectiveness of
the applicable Registration Statement, (ii) the filing of any Registration Statement relating to such Piggyback Registration that includes a price range or (iii) commencement of a roadshow relating to the Registration Statement for such
Piggyback Registration.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES 

Section 4.1 Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is under an obligation pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement to use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as practicable: 

(a) in the case of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to cause a Registration Statement that registers such Registrable
Securities to become and remain effective for a period of 180 days or, if earlier, until all of such Registrable Securities covered thereby have been disposed of; provided, that, in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on a
Shelf Registration Statement which are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, such 180-day period shall be extended, if necessary, to keep the registration statement continuously effective,
supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for sales of such Registrable Securities, and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and
regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, until the earlier of when (i) the Holders have sold all of such Registrable Securities, (ii) all of such Registrable Securities have become eligible for immediate sale pursuant
to Rule 144 under the Securities Act by the Holder thereof without restriction by the manner of sale, volume and other limitations under such rule and (iii) in the case of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, such Automatic Shelf
Registration Statement has been effective for three years (provided that the Company’s obligations hereunder shall be renewed with respect to such Registrable Securities upon the filing of a new Automatic Shelf Registration Statement pursuant
to Section 2.2(e)); 
 (b) furnish to each Selling Investor, at least ten (10) Business Days before filing a
Registration Statement, or such shorter period as reasonably practical, copies of such Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, which documents shall be subject to the review, comment and approval by one lead counsel (and any
reasonably necessary local counsel) selected by the Holders who beneficially own a majority of such Registrable Securities, which counsel (who may also be counsel to the Company), in each case, shall be subject to the reasonable approval of each
Demand Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in such registration, and who shall represent all Selling Investors as a group (the “Selling Investors’ Counsel”) (it being understood that such ten
(10) Business Day period need not apply to successive drafts of the same document proposed to be filed so long as such successive drafts are supplied to the Selling Investors’ Counsel in advance of the proposed filing by a period of time
that is customary and reasonable under the circumstances); 
 (c) furnish to each Selling Investor and each underwriter, if any, such number
of copies of final conformed versions of the applicable registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits and any documents incorporated by reference) reasonably requested by such Selling
Investor or underwriter in writing; 
 (d) in the case of Registrable Securities, prepare and file with the Commission such amendments,
including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the applicable prospectus or prospectus supplement, including any free

writing prospectus as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, used in connection therewith as may be (i) reasonably requested by any Holder (to the extent such request relates to
information relating to such Holder), or (ii) necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for at least the period specified in Section 4.1(a) and to comply with the provisions of this Agreement and the
Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities, and furnish to each Selling Investor and to the managing underwriter(s), if any, within a reasonable period of time prior to the filing thereof a copy of
any amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus; provided, however, that, with respect to each free writing prospectus or other materials to be delivered to purchasers at the time of sale of the Registrable
Securities, the Company shall (i) ensure that no Registrable Securities are sold “by means of” (as defined in Rule 159A(b) under the Securities Act) such free writing prospectus or other materials without the prior written consent of
the sellers of the Registrable Securities, which free writing prospectus or other materials shall be subject to the review of counsel to such sellers and (ii) make all required filings of all free writing prospectuses or other materials with
the Commission as are required; 
 (e) notify in writing each Holder promptly (i) of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to any comments by the Commission with respect to such Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing thereof or for additional information with respect
thereto, (ii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or the
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and (iii) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of such Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purposes and, in any such case as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, prepare and file an amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus which will correct such
statement or omission or effect such compliance; 
 (f) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities
under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Holders reasonably request and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holders to consummate their disposition in
such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business, subject itself to general taxation or consent to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to do so but for this Section 4.1(f); 
 (g) furnish to each Selling Investor such number of
copies of a summary prospectus or other prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as
such Selling Investors or any underwriter may reasonably request in writing; 
 (h) notify on a timely basis each Holder of such Registrable
Securities at any time when a prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then
in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or 

  
 20 

Table of Contents

 
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing and, at the request of such
Holder, as soon as practicable prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the offeree of such securities, such
prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; 

(i) make available for inspection by the Selling Investors, the Selling Investors’ Counsel or any underwriter participating in any
disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such Selling Investor or underwriter (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records,

employees to supply all information (together with the Records, the “Information”) requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement and request that the independent public accountants who have certified
the Company’s financial statements make themselves available, at reasonable times and for reasonable periods, to discuss the business of the Company. Any of the Information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of
which determination the Inspectors are so notified, shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement, (ii) the
release of such Information is requested or required pursuant to a subpoena, order from a court of competent jurisdiction or other interrogatory by a governmental entity or similar process; (iii) such Information has been made generally
available to the public; or (iv) such information is or becomes available to such Inspector on a non-confidential basis other than through the breach of an obligation of confidentiality (contractual or
otherwise). The Holder(s) of Registrable Securities agree that they will, upon learning that disclosure of such Information is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction or by another governmental entity, give notice to the Company and allow the
Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Information deemed confidential; 
 (j)
in the case of an Underwritten Offering, deliver to the underwriters of such Underwritten Offering a “comfort” letter in customary form and at customary times and covering matters of the type customarily covered by such comfort letters
from its independent certified public accountants; 
 (k) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, deliver to the underwriters of such
Underwritten Offering a written and signed legal opinion or opinions in customary form from its outside or in-house legal counsel dated the closing date of the Underwritten Offering;

deliver to such transfer agent and registrar such customary forms, legal opinions from its outside or in-house legal counsel, agreements and other documentation as such transfer agent and/or registrar so
request;

(o) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and make available to its

any, and (if requested) confirm such advice in writing, as promptly as reasonably practicable after notice thereof is received by the Company when the applicable registration statement or any amendment thereto has been filed or becomes effective and

participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA;

 ARTICLE V 

INDEMNIFICATION 

Section 5.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted
by law, each Selling Investor, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members and representatives, and each of their respective successors and assigns, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses caused by any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with the registration contemplated by a Registration
Statement or any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any other disclosure document (including reports
and other documents filed under the Exchange Act and any document incorporated by reference therein) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, except insofar as the same was made in reliance on and in conformity with any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Selling Investor expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the Company shall not
be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Registration Statement,
prospectus, or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by the Person asserting such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense
specifically for use therein. The Company will also indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each Person who Controls
such Persons to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Selling Investor, if requested. 

Section 5.2 Indemnification by Selling Investors. Each Selling Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent
permitted by law, the Company, the Company’s Controlled Affiliates and their respective directors, managers, partners, members and representatives, and each of their respective successors and assigns, and each Person who Controls the Company
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make 

  
 23 

Table of Contents

 
the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance on and in conformity with any information furnished in
writing by such Selling Investor to the Company expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement and has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting
such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense; provided that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, for each Selling Investor and in no event shall the liability of any Selling Investor hereunder be greater in
amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Selling Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 

Section 5.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt
(but in any event within 30 days after such Person has actual knowledge of the facts constituting the basis for indemnification) written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and
(ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve
the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel
and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (b) the indemnifying
party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (c) the
indemnified party has reasonably concluded, based on the advice of counsel, that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party or
(d) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if such Person notifies the
indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If such defense
is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought
hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, (ii) does not include a statement as to
or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party and (iii) does not commit any indemnified party to take, or hold back from taking, any action. No indemnified party shall, without the written
consent of the indemnifying party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought
hereunder, and no indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to, any such action or claim effected without its consent, in each case which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

Table of Contents

 Section 5.4 Settlement Offers. Whenever the indemnified party or the
indemnifying party receives a firm offer to settle a claim for which indemnification is sought hereunder, it shall promptly notify the other of such offer. If the indemnifying party refuses to accept such offer within 20 Business Days after receipt
of such offer (or of notice thereof), such claim shall continue to be contested and, if such claim is within the scope of the indemnifying party’s indemnity contained herein, the indemnified party shall be indemnified pursuant to the terms
hereof. An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to
such claim in any one jurisdiction, unless in the written opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, use of one counsel would be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest between such
indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of one additional counsel. 

Section 5.5 Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in this Article V (with
appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each Selling Investor with respect to any required registration or other qualification of Registrable Securities under Federal or state law or regulation of governmental authority other
than the Securities Act. 
 Section 5.6 Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in
Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless as contemplated by Section 5.1 and
Section 5.2, then (i) the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company, on the one hand, and such prospective sellers, on the other hand, from their sale of the Registrable Securities, provided that, no Selling Investor shall be required to contribute in an amount greater than the dollar
amount of the net proceeds received by such Selling Investor with respect to the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or, except as provided
in Section 5.3, defending any such action or claim. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations in this Section 5.6 to contribute shall be several in proportion to the amount of Registrable Securities registered by them and not joint. 

ARTICLE VI 

EXCHANGE ACT COMPLIANCE 

Section 6.1 Exchange Act Compliance. So long as the Company (a) has registered a class of securities under Section 12 or
Section 15 of the Exchange Act and (b) files reports under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, then the Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to enable Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the
Securities Act within

the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time or any similar rules or regulations adopted by the Commission,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) making and keeping public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, (ii) filing with the Commission
in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act and (iii) at the request of any Holder if such Holder proposes to sell securities in compliance with Rule 144, forthwith furnish to such Holder,
as applicable, a written statement of compliance with the reporting requirements of the Commission as set forth in Rule 144 and make available to such Holder such information as will enable the Holder to make sales pursuant to Rule 144. 

ARTICLE VII 

TERMINATION 

Section 7.1 Termination. The registration rights hereunder shall cease to apply to any particular Registrable Security when:
(a) a registration statement with respect to the sale of such Shares shall have become effective under the Securities Act and such Shares shall have been disposed of in accordance with such registration statement; (b) such Shares shall
have been sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision); (c) such Shares shall have been otherwise transferred, new certificates or book-entries for them not bearing a legend restricting further
transfer shall have been delivered by the Company and subsequent public distribution of them shall not require registration or qualification of them under the Securities Act or any similar state law then in force; (d) such Shares shall have
ceased to be outstanding; or (e) the Holder of such Registrable Security holds less than one percent (1%) of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (determined as the aggregate number of Registrable Securities held by such
Holder with all of its Affiliates) and such Registrable Securities are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any successor provision) without compliance with the manner of sale, volume and other limitations under such
rule and are not otherwise subject to any transfer restriction. The Company shall promptly upon the request of any Holder furnish to such Holder evidence of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. 

ARTICLE VIII 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 8.1 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the
remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 Section 8.2 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement
and any action of any kind or any nature (whether at law or in equity, based in contract or in tort or otherwise) that is any way related to this Agreement or any of the transactions related hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that state without regard to the conflict of laws rules thereof. Each party to this Agreement (i) consents to submit to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom located in the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal
court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware), (ii) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement brought in such court, (iii) waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any
such court that any such action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (iv) agrees that service of process or of any other papers upon such party by registered mail at the address to which notices are required
to be sent to such party under Section 8.5 shall be deemed good, proper and effective service upon such party. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

Section 8.3 Other Registration Rights. If the Company shall at any time hereafter provide to any holder of any securities of the
Company rights with respect to the registration of such securities under the Securities Act, such rights shall not be in conflict with or adversely affect any of the rights provided to the holders of Registrable Securities in, or conflict (in a
manner that adversely affects holders of Registrable Securities) with any other provisions included in, this Agreement. 
 Section 8.4
Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 8.4, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties hereto, each of which, in the case of the
Holders, shall agree to become subject to the terms of this Agreement by executing an Adoption Agreement and be bound to the same extent as the parties hereto. The Company may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder
without the prior written consent of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. Subject to Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.2(b), any Holder may, at its election and at any time or from
time to time, assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder, in whole or in part, to any Transferee of such Holder (each, an “Assignee”); provided, that no such assignment shall be binding upon or obligate the Company
to any such Assignee unless and until such Assignee delivers the Company an Adoption Agreement. If a Holder assigns its rights under this Agreement in connection with the Transfer of less than all of its Registrable Securities, the Holder shall
retain its rights under this Agreement with respect to its remaining Registrable Securities. If a Holder assigns its rights under this Agreement in connection with the Transfer of all of its Registrable Securities, the Holder shall have no further
rights or obligations under this Agreement, except under Article V hereof in respect of offerings in which such Holder participated or registrations in which Registrable Securities held by such Holder were included. Any
purported assignment in violation of this provision shall be null and void ab initio.

obligations of any other party under this Agreement, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the
agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any extension or waiver pursuant to this Section 8.12 will be valid only if set forth in a writing signed by the party to be bound thereby.

No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default,
misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party to exercise any right or remedy
under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any other right or remedy. 

Section 8.13 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall execute all such further instruments and documents and take all
such further action as the Company may reasonably require in order to effectuate the terms and purposes of this Agreement. 

Section 8.14 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except pursuant to Article V, this Agreement shall not confer
any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and other Persons expressly named herein. 

Section 8.15 Interpretation; Construction. This Agreement has been freely and fairly negotiated among the parties. If an ambiguity
or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of
this Agreement. Any reference to any law will be deemed to refer to such law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and
“including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the
plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole,
including the schedules, exhibits and annexes, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified or supplemented, and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. All references to sections, schedules, annexes and exhibits
mean the sections of this Agreement and the schedules, annexes and exhibits attached to this Agreement, except where otherwise stated. The parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent
significance. If any party has breached any covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the party has not breached
will not detract from or mitigate the party’s breach of the first covenant. 
 Section 8.16 Changes in Common Stock. If,
and as often as, there are any changes in Common Stock by way of by way of a dividend, distribution, stock split or combination, reclassification, recapitalization, exchange or readjustment, whether in a merger, consolidation, conversion or similar
transaction, or by any other means, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the provisions of this Agreement, as may be required, so that the rights, privileges, duties and obligations hereunder shall continue with respect to Common Stock as so
changed.
