Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the applicable Borrower proposes that the New Term Loan Commitments shall be effective.  In connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness under this Section 2.14, at the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative shall provide to the Administrative Agent a certificate certifying that the New Term Loan Commitments do not exceed the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount, which certificate shall be in reasonable detail and shall provide the calculations and basis therefor.  Any Borrower may approach any Lender or any Person (other than a natural Person) to provide all or a portion of the New Term Loan Commitments; provided, that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the New Term Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Term Loan Commitment, and the Borrowers shall have no obligation

No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Extension Request.  Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Term Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were converted; provided, that any Extended Term Loans converted from an Existing Term Loan Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any then outstanding Class of Term Loans other than the Existing Term Loan Class from which

In the event that the aggregate amount of Term Loans of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election.

  (iii)Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the last sentence of this Section 2.14(g)(iv) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 13.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans established thereby) executed by the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders; provided that if such terms would be more favorable to the existing Lenders, such terms may be, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, incorporated into this Agreement for the benefit of the existing Lenders of the applicable Class or Classes of Loans without further amendment requirements, including, for the avoidance of doubt, at the option of the Borrower Representative, any increase in the Applicable Margin or change to the amount of amortization due and payable, in each case, relating to any existing Class to achieve “fungibility” with such existing Class of Loans or Commitments.  No Extension Amendment shall provide for any Class of Extended Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $5,000,000 (it being understood that the actual principal amount thereof provided by the applicable Lenders may be lower than such minimum amount), and the Borrower Representative may condition the effectiveness of any Extension Amendment on an Extension Minimum Condition, which may be waived by the Borrower Representative in its sole discretion.  In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.14(g)(i), each Extension Amendment (x) shall amend the scheduled amortization payments, if any, or the applicable Joinder Agreement with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which the Extended Term Loans were converted to reduce each scheduled Repayment Amount, if any, for the Existing Term Loan Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class is to be converted pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any Repayment Amount, if any, payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof) and (y) may, but shall not be required to, impose additional requirements (not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement in effect at such time) with respect to the final maturity and Weighted Average Life to Maturity

  (v)The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.14 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees, or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Amendment) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any pro rata payment or amendment section) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit or restrict any such extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.14.

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 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

  (b)Defaulting Lender Cure.

Subject to Section 5.2(f), except as may otherwise be set forth in any Joinder Agreement, any Refinancing Amendment, any Extension Amendment or any amendment in respect of Replacement Term Loans, each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(a)(i) or (ii) shall be allocated pro rata among the Initial Term Loans and any New Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Replacement Term Loans then outstanding based on the applicable remaining Repayment Amounts due thereunder and shall be applied within each Class of Term Loans in respect of such Term Loans in direct forward order of scheduled maturity thereof or as otherwise directed by the Borrower Representative; provided any Class of New Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Replacement Term Loans may specify that one or more other Classes of Term Loans may be prepaid prior to such Class of New Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Extended Term Loans and Replacement Term Loans. Any prepayment of Term Loans with the Net Cash Proceeds of, or in exchange for, Permitted Other Indebtedness, Refinancing Term Loans or Replacement Term Loans pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(iii) shall be applied solely to each applicable Class or Classes of Term Loans being refinanced as selected by the Borrower Representative.

  (d)Application to Term Loans.  With respect to each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(a), the Borrower Representative may, if applicable, designate the Types of Term Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made; provided, that, if any Lender has provided a Rejection Notice in compliance with Section 5.2(f), such prepayment shall be applied with respect to the Term Loans to be prepaid on a pro rata basis across all outstanding Types of such Term Loans in proportion to the percentage of such outstanding Term Loans to be prepaid represented by each

  such Class.  In the absence of a Rejection Notice or a designation by the Borrower Representative as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

  (e)[Reserved].

  (f)Rejection Right.  The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(a) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date such prepayment is required to be made (or such shorter period of time as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower Representative may rescind, or extend the date for prepayment specified in, any notice of prepayment under this Section 5.2(f) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or any portion of any Credit Facility or Credit Facilities or other conditional event, which refinancing or other conditional event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.  Each such notice shall specify the anticipated date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed estimated calculation of the amount of such prepayment.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Term Loans to be prepaid in accordance with such prepayment notice of the contents of such prepayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of the estimated prepayment. Each Term Loan Lender may reject all (but not less than all) of its pro rata share of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(a) other than any such mandatory prepayment with respect to a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event under Section 5.2(a)(i) or any mandatory prepayment under Section 5.2(a)(iii) (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative no later than 5:00 p.m. one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment.  If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above, or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans.  Any Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter shall be retained by the Borrowers (“Retained Declined Proceeds”).

  (g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.2, no prepayments of Loans shall be required pursuant to this Section 5.2 until the Discharge of Senior Obligations (as defined in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) has occurred.

  (b)Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. may be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion for purposes of calculating interest thereon.  Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability (along with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts) delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 

  (d)Evidence of Payments.  After any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 5.4, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower Representative, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

  (e)Status of Lenders and Tax Documentation.

  (i)Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and to the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information 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 Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Credit Document are subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.4(e)(ii)(A), (B),

  and (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. Any documentation and information required to be delivered by a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.4(e) (including any specific documentation set forth in subsection (ii) below) shall be delivered by such Lender (i) on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, (ii) on or before any date on which such documentation expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, (iii) after the occurrence of any change in the Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered by it to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, and each such Lender shall promptly notify in writing the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent if such Lender is no longer legally eligible to provide any documentation previously provided.  For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.4(c), the term “Lender” shall include any successors, assignor, or transferees thereof.

  Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor thereto); or

  (4)where such Lender is a partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or otherwise not a beneficial owner (e.g., where such Lender has sold a participation), executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto) accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, or Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable, or any successor thereto) and all other required supporting documentation (including, where one or more of the underlying beneficial owner(s) is claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption, a Non-Bank Tax Certificate of such beneficial owner(s)) (provided, that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender, the Non-Bank Tax Certificate(s) may be provided by the Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of the direct or indirect partner(s)).

  (C)executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable laws to permit the Borrower Representative 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 Credit 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 Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

  (iii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4, no Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver.

  (f)Status of Administrative Agent.  On or prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower Representative (i) if the Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, an executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or (ii) if the Administrative Agent is not a U.S. Person, applicable Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8, sufficient to establish that such payments may be made by Borrowers to such Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States, including with respect to FATCA.  The Administrative Agent shall deliver such documentation on or before any date on which previously-provided forms expire or become obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any change in the Administrative Agent’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent documentation previously delivered to the Borrower Representative, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative, and shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative in writing if it is no longer legally eligible to provide any documentation previously provided.

  (g)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.4, the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable) shall promptly pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Credit Parties under this Section 5.4 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. In such event, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower Representative’s request, provide the Borrower Representative with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided, that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein that it reasonably deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4(f), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.4(f) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or any Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or any Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person.

  (c)Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate.  If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate any Borrower to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law (the “Maximum Rate”), such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by such Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8; provided, that to the extent lawful, the interest or other amounts that would have been payable but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest 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.

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from any Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including receipt of the Borrower Representative’s consent); provided, that if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.6 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 clause (c) of this Section 13.6.

No assignment shall be effective unless recorded in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower Representative, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and, with respect to itself, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to (I) enforce this Agreement and (II) approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; 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 clauses (x)(i) and (x)(iv) of the second proviso to Section 13.1 that directly and adversely affects such Participant.  Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 13.6, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6, including the requirements of clause (e) of Section 5.4) (it being agreed that any documentation required under Section 5.4(e) shall be provided to the participating Lender, and if additional amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.4, such participating Lender shall provide to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent information reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent regarding such documentation and the participant’s entitlement to additional amounts pursuant to Section 5.4).  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.8(b) as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 13.8(a) as though it were a Lender.

  (i)A participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11, or 5.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the sale of the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower

  Representative’s prior written consent (which consent may be withheld in the Borrower Representative’s sole discretion).  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower Representative, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”).  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) 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 for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations or as is otherwise required by law.

  (d)Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over it, and this Section 13.6 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)Subject to Section 13.16, the Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee (other than any Disqualified Lender) any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrowers and their Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers and their Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers and their Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrowers and their Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

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

  from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make any such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.  The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.6, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent) other than a Disqualified Lender providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) subject to Section 13.16, disclose on a confidential basis any non‐public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.  As to any SPV, this Section 13.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of such SPV.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to the following sentence, each SPV shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, and 5.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 13.6, including the requirements of clause (e) of Section 5.4 (it being agreed that any documentation required under Section 5.4(e) shall be provided to the Granting Lender, and such Granting Lender shall provide any such documents to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent to the extent required by law)).  Notwithstanding the prior sentence, an SPV shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11, or 5.4 than its Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to such SPV, unless such grant to such SPV is made with the Borrower Representative’s prior written consent (which consent shall be within the Borrower Representative’s sole discretion).  If a Granting Lender grants an option to an SPV as described herein and such grant is not reflected in the Register, the Granting Lender shall maintain a separate register on which it records the name and address of each SPV and the principal amounts (and related interest) of each SPV’s interest with respect to the Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder, which entries shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Granting Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in such register as the owner of such interest for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding notice to the contrary; provided, further, that no Lender shall have any obligation to 

  229

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

  

   

  disclose any portion of such register to any Person (including the identity of any SPV or any information relating to an SPV’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder are in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations or as is otherwise required by law).

  (h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Term Loans to Holdings, any Borrower, any Restricted Subsidiary or an Affiliated Lender and (y) Holdings, any Borrower and any Restricted Subsidiary may, from time to time, purchase or prepay Term Loans, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis through (1) Dutch auction procedures open to all applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with customary procedures to be mutually agreed between the Borrower Representative and the Auction Agent or (2) open market purchases; provided, that:

  (i)any Loans or Commitments acquired by any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon acquisition thereof;

  (ii)by its acquisition of Loans or Commitments, an Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:

  (`)it shall not have any right to (x) attend or participate in (including, in each case, by telephone) any meeting (including “Lender only” meetings) or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Borrowers are not then present, (y) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders or any other material which is “Lender only”, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrowers or their representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Section 2) or receive any advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or (z) make any challenge to the Administrative Agent’s or any other Lender’s attorney-client privilege on the basis of its status as a Lender; and

Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other.  The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing, no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Credit Party, its management, stockholders or creditors. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate joint and several obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.  If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

  (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

  (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 Credit 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 Credit 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 13.24, 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:  (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) 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).

Pursuant to Section 12.05 of the Credit Agreement, effective as of the Fifth Amendment Effective Date (as defined below),

such amount shall be determined by the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of Letter of Credit Liabilities, by the applicable Issuing
Bank) in Dollars by calculating the Dollar Equivalent of any portion of such amount denominated in any Multi-Currency and adding such
amount to any Dollar-denominated portion of such amount.

    35 

    

 

(b)                (i)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may request from time to time that the aggregate
Revolving Commitments hereunder be increased, in an aggregate amount not to exceed an amount which, when aggregated with the
Revolving Commitments then in effect and the outstanding Term Loans, is equal to the greater of (i) $3,260,000,000 or (ii) the
Ratio-Based Incremental Amount as of the Increased Amount Date. The Company may (I) request any of one or more of the Lenders to
increase the amount of its Revolving Commitment (which request shall be in writing and sent to the Administrative Agent to forward
to such Lender and shall contain the Company’s requested allocation of such increased Revolving Commitment to the US$
Commitments, the US$-Canadian Commitments and/or the Multi-Currency Commitments) and/or (II) arrange for any of one or more banks or
financial institutions not a party hereto (an “Other Lender”) to become a party to and a Lender under this Agreement,
provided that the identification and arrangement of such Other Lender to become a party hereto and a Lender under this Agreement
shall be made in consultation with the Administrative Agent. In no event may any Lender’s Revolving Commitment be increased
without the prior written consent of such Lender, and the failure of any Lender to respond to the Company’s request for an
increase shall be deemed a rejection by such Lender of the Company’s request. The aggregate Revolving Commitments of all
Lenders hereunder may not be increased, if, at the time of any proposed increase hereunder, a Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing; provided that, in the case of any increased Revolving Commitment the proceeds of which shall be used to
consummate an Acquisition permitted by this Agreement for which the Company has determined, in good faith, that limited
conditionality with respect to the financing for such Acquisition is required (any such acquisition, a “Limited Conditionality
Acquisition”), the Company may elect, in lieu of satisfying the foregoing condition as of such Increased Amount Date, by
notice to the Administrative Agent to satisfy the following conditions (i) as of the date of entry into the definitive documentation
in respect of such Limited Conditionality Acquisition (the “Limited Conditionality Acquisition Agreement”): (1) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would arise after giving effect thereto, (2) the
representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Basic Documents shall be true and correct in all material
respects (or in all respects if qualified by materiality) on and as of such date (which shall be limited to the
 “specified” representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Basic Documents that are those
customarily made in connection with acquisition financings (as determined by the Company and the Lenders in respect of such
increased Revolving Commitments) and (3) the Company would be in pro forma compliance with Sections 9.09 through 9.11 hereof, as of
the last day of the latest fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available, after giving effect to such increased
Revolving Commitments to be made on the applicable Increased Amount Date (and assuming all such increased Revolving Commitments are
fully drawn) as if such increase were effective on the date of entry into the Limited Conditionality Acquisition Agreement and (ii)
as of the Increased Amount Date, no Default or Event of Default referred to in clause (1), (6) or (7) of Section 10.01 shall have
occurred and be continuing. Upon any request by the Company to increase the aggregate Revolving Commitments hereunder, the Company
shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the date of the effectiveness of such Increased Amount Date, or as of
the date of entry into the Limited Conditionality Acquisition Agreement, as applicable, that no Default or Event of Default (or, if
applicable, no Default or Event of Default referred to in clause (1), (6) or (7) of Section 10.01) has occurred and is continuing.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to increase the
amount of its Revolving Commitment, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase
its Revolving Commitment.

 

     

    36 

    

 

(ii)              If any Lender is willing, in its sole and absolute discretion, to increase the amount of its Revolving Commitment hereunder (such
a Lender hereinafter referred to as an “Increasing Lender”), it shall enter into a written agreement to that effect
with the Company and the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit K (a “Commitment Increase Supplement”),
which agreement shall specify, among other things, (x) the amount of the increased Revolving Commitment of such Increasing Lender and
(y) the allocation of such increased Revolving Commitment to the US$ Commitments, the US$-Canadian Commitments and/or the Multi-Currency
Commitments. Upon the effectiveness of such Increasing Lender’s increase in Revolving Commitment, Schedule I shall, without further
action, be deemed to have been amended appropriately to reflect the increased Revolving Commitment and of such Increasing Lender. Any
Other Lender that is willing to become a party hereto and a Lender hereunder (and which arrangement to become a party hereto and a Lender
hereunder has been consulted by the Company with the Administrative Agent) shall enter into a written agreement with the Company and the
Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit L (an “Additional Lender Supplement”), which agreement shall
specify, among other things, its Revolving Commitment hereunder. When such Other Lender becomes a Lender hereunder as set forth in the
Additional Lender Supplement, Schedule I shall, without further action, be deemed to have been amended as appropriate to reflect the Revolving
Commitment of such Other Lender. Upon the execution by the Administrative Agent, the Company and such Other Lender of such Additional
Lender Supplement, such Other Lender shall become and be deemed a party hereto and a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes hereof
and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations on the part of the Lenders set forth in this Agreement, and its Revolving Commitment
shall be the amount specified in its Additional Lender Supplement. Each Other Lender that executes and delivers an Additional Lender Supplement
and becomes a party hereto and a “Lender” hereunder pursuant to such Additional Lender Supplement is hereinafter referred
to as an “Additional Lender.”

 

(iii)            
In no event shall an increase in a Lender’s Revolving Commitment or the Revolving Commitment of an Other Lender become effective
until the Administrative Agent shall have received a favorable written opinion of counsel for the Obligors, addressed to the Lenders,
with respect to the matters set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10 of Exhibit I-1 as they relate to this Agreement and the
borrowings hereunder after giving effect to the increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments hereunder resulting from the increase
in such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or the extension of a Revolving Commitment by such Other Lender. In no event shall an increase
in a Lender’s Revolving Commitment or the Revolving Commitment of an Other Lender that in either case results in the aggregate Revolving
Commitments of all Lenders hereunder exceeding the amount authorized at such time in resolutions previously delivered to the Administrative
Agent become effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received a copy of the resolutions, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, of the Board of Directors of the Company authorizing the borrowings contemplated pursuant to such increase,
certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company. Upon the effectiveness of the increase in a Lender’s Revolving
Commitment or the Revolving Commitment of an Other Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and the execution by such Increasing Lender
of a Revolving Commitment Increase Supplement or by such Additional Lender of an Additional Lender Supplement, the Company shall make
such borrowing from such Increasing Lender or Additional Lender, and/or shall make such prepayment of outstanding US$ Loans, Multi-Currency
Loans, US$-Canadian Loans and/or C$ Loans, as applicable, as shall be required to cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
such Loans owing to each Lender (including each such Increasing Lender and Additional Lender) to be proportional to such Lender’s
share of the relevant aggregate Revolving Commitments hereunder after giving effect to any increase thereof.

 

     

    37 

    

 

(iv)            No Other Lender may become an Additional Lender unless an Additional Lender Supplement (or counterparts thereof) has been signed
by such bank or financial institution and which Additional Lender Supplement has been agreed to and acknowledged by the Company and acknowledged
by the Administrative Agent. No consent of any Lender or acknowledgment of any of the other Lenders hereunder shall be required therefor.
In no event shall the Revolving Commitment of any Lender be increased by reason of any bank or financial institution becoming an Additional
Lender, or otherwise, but the aggregate Revolving Commitments hereunder shall be increased by the amount of each Additional Lender’s
Revolving Commitment. Upon any Lender entering into a Commitment Increase Supplement or any Additional Lender becoming a party hereto,
the Administrative Agent shall notify each other Lender thereof and shall deliver to each Lender a copy of the Additional Lender Supplement
executed by such Additional Lender, agreed to and acknowledged by the Company and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and the Commitment
Increase Supplement executed by such Increasing Lender, agreed to and acknowledged by the Company and acknowledged by the Administrative
Agent.

 

(c)             (i)       Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may request at any time or from time to time that any one or more
Lenders (or any Other Lender) shall make Incremental Term Loans in any Multi-Currency other than Zloty in an aggregate amount (x) on
any one occasion, not less than $50,000,000, and (y) at all times, not to exceed an amount which, when aggregated with the Revolving
Commitments then in effect, and the outstanding Term Loans, is equal to the greater of (i) $3,260,000,000 or (ii) the Ratio-Based
Incremental Amount as of the Increased Amount Date. The Company may (I) request any of one or more of the Lenders to make
Incremental Term Loans (which request shall be in writing and sent to the Administrative Agent to forward to such Lender) and/or
(II) arrange for any Other Lender to become a party to and a Lender under this Agreement, provided that the identification and
arrangement of such Other Lender to become a party hereto and a Lender under this Agreement shall be made in consultation with the
Administrative Agent. The Incremental Term Loans may not be made if, after giving effect to the borrowing of such Incremental Term
Loans, (A) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (B) the Company would not be in compliance on a pro forma
basis with Sections 9.09 through 9.11 hereof, as at the last day of the latest fiscal quarter for which financial statements are
available, after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans to be made on the applicable Increased Amount Date and the application
of the proceeds therefrom as if made and applied as of the applicable Increased Amount Date; provided that, in the case of any
Incremental Term Loans the proceeds of which shall be used to consummate a Limited Conditionality Acquisition, the Company may
elect, in lieu of satisfying the foregoing conditions (A) and (B) as of such Increased Amount Date, by notice to the Administrative
Agent to satisfy the following conditions (i) as of the date of entry into the Limited Conditionality Acquisition Agreement: (1) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would arise after giving effect thereto, (2) the
representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Basic Documents shall be true and correct in all material
respects (or in all respects if qualified by materiality) on and as of such date (which shall be limited to the
 “specified” representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Basic Documents that are those
customarily made in connection with acquisition financings (as determined by the Company and the Lenders in respect of such
Incremental Term Loans) and (3) the Company would be in pro forma compliance with Sections 9.09 through 9.11 hereof, as of the last
day of the latest fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available, after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loans to
be made on the applicable Increased Amount Date as if they were made on the date of entry into the Limited Conditionality
Acquisition Agreement and (ii) as of the Increased Amount Date, no Default or Event of Default referred to in clause (1), (6) or (7)
of Section 10.01 shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon any such request pursuant to this Section 2.01(c)(i) by the Company,
the Company shall be deemed to have represented and warranted on and as of the date of the effectiveness of such Increased Amount
Date, or as of the date of entry into the Limited Conditionality Acquisition Agreement, as applicable, that no Default or Event of
Default (or, if applicable, no Default or Event of Default referred to in clause (1), (6) or (7) of Section 10.01) has occurred and
is continuing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation
whatsoever to participate in any increase described in this paragraph, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally and
without cause, decline to participate in such increase.

 

     

    38 

    

 

(ii)       If
any Lender is willing, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make Incremental Term Loans hereunder, it shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Activation Notice specifying (i) the amount of such Incremental Term Loans,
(ii) the applicable Incremental Term Maturity Date (which shall not be earlier than, in the case of Incremental Term Loans (other
than Term B Loans), the latest of the then Initial Term Loan Maturity Date and the maturity date then applicable to any Class of
Refinancing Term Loans or, in the case of Incremental Term Loans which are Term B Loans, the latest maturity date then applicable to
any Class of Term Loans which are Term B Loans), (iii) the amortization schedule for such Incremental Term Loans (the average
weighted life of which shall not be shorter than that of, in the case of Incremental Term Loans (other than Term B Loans), the
remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans or any Refinancing Term Loans, as applicable (i.e., such
Incremental Term Loans may amortize in annual amounts of up to 5% of the original principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans)
or, in the case of Incremental Term Loans which are Term B Loans, if so specified in the applicable Incremental Facility Activation
Notice, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the applicable Class of Term B Loans which are incurred under such Incremental
Facility Activation Notice), (iv) the proposed original issue discount applicable to such Incremental Term Loans, if any, (v) in the
case of any Incremental Term Loans which are Term B Loans only, the Applicable Margin for such Incremental Term Loans, provided
that, if any Term B Loans (“Subsequently Incurred Term B Loans”) are incurred after an incurrence of Term B Loans
under this Section, if the weighted average yield relating to any Subsequently Incurred Term B Loans exceeds the weighted average
yield relating to any then outstanding Term B Loans (but only to the extent that the Incremental Facility Activation Notice related
to such then outstanding Term B Loans shall elect for such Term B Loans to be covered by this proviso in respect of such
Subsequently Incurred Term B Loans) immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Notice
by more than 0.50% (to be determined by the Administrative Agent consistent with generally accepted financial practices, after
giving effect to margins, upfront or similar fees, or original issue discount, in each case shared with all lenders or holders
thereof and applicable interest rate floors (but only to the extent that an increase in the interest rate floor applicable to the
Term B Loans would result in an increase in an interest rate then in effect for the Term B Loans hereunder)), then the Applicable
Margin relating to the applicable Term B Loans shall be adjusted so that the weighted average yield relating to such Subsequently
Incurred Term B Loans shall not exceed the weighted average yield relating to the applicable Term B Loans by more than 0.50%, (vi)
in the case of any Incremental Term Loans which are Term B Loans only, such Incremental Term Loans which are Term B Loans may have
customary call-protection, including “soft-call” protection in connection with any repricing transaction, and (vii) in
the case of any Incremental Term Loans which are Term B Loans only, such Incremental Term Loans which are Term B Loans may also, to
the extent so provided in the applicable Incremental Facility Activation Notice, specify whether (w) the applicable Term B Lenders
shall have any voting rights in respect of the financial covenants under the Basic Documents (including, without limitation,
Sections 9.08, 9.09, 9.10 and 9.11 hereof) (it being agreed that if any Subsequently Incurred Term B Loans shall have such voting
rights, all then outstanding Term B Loans shall also have similar voting rights), (x) any breach of such covenants would result in a
Default or Event of Default for such Term B Lenders prior to an acceleration of Commitments and/or Loans by the applicable Lenders
in accordance with the terms hereof as a result of such breach (it being agreed that if any Subsequently Incurred Term B Loans shall
have such a default, all then outstanding Term B Loans shall also have a similar default), (y) any such Term B Loans will be subject
to an “Excess Cash Flow” mandatory prepayment (it being understood that any such prepayment may apply to all then
outstanding Term Loans also on a ratable basis) and (z) the applicable Term B Lenders shall be subject to any other representations
and warranties, covenants or events of default that are different from the terms set forth in the Basic Documents as of the date of
the incurrence of such Indebtedness; provided that, such Incremental Term Loans shall not have representations and
warranties, covenants or events of default that are more restrictive, taken as a whole, than the representations and warranties,
covenants or events of default set forth in the Basic Documents as of the date of incurrence of such Indebtedness unless such
representations and warranties, covenants or events of default apply also to all other then outstanding Term Loans or only apply
after the then Initial Term Loan Maturity Date or, in the case of Incremental Term Loans which are Term B Loans, the latest maturity
date then applicable to any Class of Term Loans which are Term B Loans). Any Other Lender that is willing to become a party hereto
and a Lender hereunder (and which arrangement to become a party hereto and a Lender hereunder has been consulted by the Company with
the Administrative Agent) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Loan Activation Notice and enter
into an Additional Lender Supplement. Upon the execution by the Administrative Agent, the Company and such Other Lender of such
Additional Lender Supplement, such Other Lender shall become and be deemed a party hereto and a “Lender” hereunder for
all purposes hereof and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations on the part of the Lenders set forth in this Agreement,
and the amount of its Incremental Term Loans shall be the amount specified in its Additional Lender Supplement.

 

     

    39 

    

 

(iii)       In
no event shall any Incremental Term Loans be made until the Administrative Agent shall have received a favorable written opinion of counsel
for the Obligors, addressed to the Lenders, with respect to the matters set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 and 10 of Exhibit
I-1 as they relate to this Agreement and the borrowings hereunder after giving effect to the borrowings of the Incremental Term Loans.
In no event shall any Incremental Term Loans be made until the Administrative Agent shall have received a copy of the resolutions, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the Board of Directors of the Company authorizing the borrowings contemplated
pursuant to such increase, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company.

 

(d)             (i)
The Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the US$ Borrowers under the US$ Commitments from time
to time during the Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“US$ Swingline Loans”) to the US$ Borrowers in an
aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding the amount of the US$ Swingline Commitment (notwithstanding
that the US$ Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when aggregated with the US$ Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Revolving
Loans, may exceed the US$ Swingline Commitment then in effect), provided that in no event shall the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of all US$ Loans and US$ Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities under the US$
Commitments outstanding, exceed the aggregate amount of the US$ Commitments as in effect from time to time. During the Commitment Period,
the US$ Borrowers may use the US$ Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof. US$ Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans or Agreed Rate Loans. For purposes of calculating the commitment fee payable in respect
of the US$ Commitments under Section 2.03, the US$ Swingline Loans shall not be treated as usage of the US$ Commitments. US$ Swingline
Loans shall be Dollar-denominated Loans only.

 

(ii)       The
Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the US$-Canadian Borrowers under the US$-Canadian

the amount of the US$-Canadian Swingline Commitment (notwithstanding that the US$-Canadian Swingline Loans outstanding at any time,
when aggregated with the US$-Canadian Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Loans, may exceed the US$-Canadian
Swingline Commitment then in effect), provided that in no event shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all US$-Canadian Loans and US$-Canadian Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities under the
US$-Canadian Commitments outstanding, exceed the aggregate amount of the US$-Canadian Commitments as in effect from time to time.
During the Commitment Period, the US$-Canadian Borrowers may use the US$-Canadian Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and
reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. US$-Canadian Swingline Loans shall be C$ Prime Loans or Agreed
Rate Loans. For purposes of calculating the commitment fee payable in respect of the US$-Canadian Commitments under Section 2.03,
the US$-Canadian Swingline Loans shall not be treated as usage of the US$-Canadian Commitments. US$-Canadian Swingline Loans shall
be denominated only in Canadian Dollars.

 

     

    40 

    

 

(iii)       The
Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Multi-Currency Borrowers and any Additional Borrower
under the Multi-Currency Commitments from time to time during the Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“Multi-Currency
Swingline Loans”) to such Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to but not exceeding the
amount of the Multi-Currency Swingline Commitment (notwithstanding that the Multi-Currency Swingline Loans outstanding at any time, when
aggregated with the Multi-Currency Swingline Lender’s other outstanding Revolving Loans, may exceed the Multi-Currency Swingline
Commitment then in effect), provided that in no event shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Multi-Currency Loans
and Multi-Currency Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities under the Multi-Currency Commitments
outstanding, exceed the aggregate amount of the Multi-Currency Commitments as in effect from time to time. During the Commitment Period,
the Multi-Currency Borrowers and any Additional Borrower may use the Multi-Currency Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing,
all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Multi-Currency Swingline Loans shall be Eurocurrency Loans only and the Interest
Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans shall be as agreed upon by the Multi-Currency Swingline Lender. For purposes of calculating

be treated as usage of the Multi-Currency Commitments. Multi-Currency Swingline Loans shall be denominated only in Pounds Sterling, euros
and Dollars.

 

(iv)       Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, no Lender which is a Swingline Lender shall have any obligation to make, issue or participate in
any Loan (including any Swingline Loan) or Letter of Credit under any Revolving Facility, if after giving effect thereto, the aggregate
amount of the Revolving Loans, L/C Exposure and outstanding principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans of such Lender and its Affiliates
under such Revolving Facility would exceed such Lender’s and its Affiliates’ Commitments under such Facility. For the avoidance
of doubt, the preceding sentence is not intended to limit the ability of the Borrowers to borrow Loans if the proceeds of such Loans will
be used to repay Swingline Loans made by such Lender.

aggregate unused US$ Commitments may be reallocated to US$-Canadian Commitments and/or Multi-Currency Commitments, the aggregate unused
US$-Canadian Commitments may be reallocated to US$ Commitments and/or Multi-Currency Commitments and the aggregate unused Multi-Currency

Administrative Agent and the Company; provided that (i) no Commitment of a Lender shall be increased without such Lender’s consent
and (ii) in connection with any increase in Commitments under a Revolving Facility pursuant to this paragraph (e) there shall be a simultaneous

In addition, the US$ Commitments, the US$-Canadian Commitments and the Multi-Currency Commitments shall be reduced as provided in Section
3.02(c).

 

(b)             Optional.
The Company shall have the right to terminate or reduce the unused US$ Commitments, US$-Canadian Commitments and Multi-Currency Commitments
(for which purpose use of the US$ Commitments and Multi-Currency Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate amount of Letter
of Credit Liabilities under the US$ Commitment or the Multi-Currency Commitment, as the case may be) at any time or from time to time,
provided that (i) the Company shall give notice of each such termination or reduction to the Administrative Agent as provided
in Section 5.05 hereof and (ii) each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $1,000,000.

 

(c)              No Reinstatement. US$ Commitments, US$-Canadian Commitments and Multi-Currency Commitments once terminated or reduced may
not be reinstated.

 

2.03.         
Fees. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each US$ Lender, US$-Canadian Lender or Multi-Currency
Lender commitment fees in Dollars on the daily average unused amount of such Lender’s US$ Commitment, US$-Canadian Commitment or
Multi-Currency Commitment, as the case may be (for which purpose (i) the aggregate amount of any Letter of Credit Liabilities under the
US$ Commitments or the Multi-Currency Commitments shall be deemed to be a pro rata (based on the US$ Commitments, or the Multi-Currency
Commitments, as the case may be) use of each Lender’s US$ Commitment or Multi-Currency Commitment, as the case may be, (ii) the
daily average amount of each US$-Canadian Lender’s US$-Canadian Commitment shall be determined after giving effect to the allocation
of the Canadian Commitments and the US$-Canadian Commitments pursuant to subsection 2.6 of Annex A hereto and (iii) the daily average
amount of each Lender’s Commitments shall be determined after giving effect to any reallocation pursuant to Section 2.01(e)) for
the period from the Closing Date to and including the earlier of the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated and the Commitment
Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate in effect from time to time. Accrued commitment fees
under this Section 2.03 shall be payable on the Quarterly Dates and on the earlier of the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated
and the Commitment Termination Date. The Company shall pay to JPMorgan Chase Bank on the Closing Date syndication, agency and additional
commitment fees in the amounts heretofore mutually agreed in writing. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the Closing
Date and on each anniversary thereof, so long as any of the Revolving Commitments are in effect and until payment in full of all Loans
hereunder, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable hereunder, an annual agency fee in the amount heretofore mutually agreed
in writing.

 

2.04.         
Lending Offices. The Loans of each Type made by each Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender’s Applicable
Lending Office for Loans of such Type.

 

     

    42 

    

 

2.05.         
 Several Obligations: Remedies Independent. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified
therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, but neither the Administrative Agent nor
any Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender.

 

2.06.         
Notes. Each applicable Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue a Note to any
Lender (each, a “Note”) in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 (in the case of Revolving Loans) or Exhibit A-2 (in
the case of Term Loans) hereto, dated the Closing Date (or, in the case of any Incremental Term Loans or Refinancing Term Loans, dated
the date such Loans are made), payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to the relevant Revolving Commitment of such Lender
as in effect on the Closing Date, the relevant Initial Term Loans of such Lender on the Closing Date or the relevant Incremental Term
Loans or Refinancing Term Loans of such Lender thereafter, and otherwise duly completed. Each Lender is hereby authorized by the Company
to endorse on the schedule (or a continuation thereof) attached to each Note of such Lender, to the extent applicable, the date, amount
and Type of and the Interest Period (if any) for each Loan made by such Lender to the Company under the relevant Revolving Commitment
or with respect to the relevant Loan, and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of such Loan received by such
Lender, provided that any failure by such Lender to make any such endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Company under such
Note or hereunder in respect of such Loan.

 

2.07.         
Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used for the general corporate purposes of the Parent, the Company and
their Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, the making of Permitted Acquisitions and capital expenditures and the refinancing of
Indebtedness of the Parent and its Subsidiaries. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any responsibility as to the
use of any of the proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit.

 

2.08.          Letters
of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the US$ Commitments and the Multi-Currency Commitments may be
utilized, upon the request of the Company, in addition to the Loans provided for by Section 2.01 hereof or in Annex A hereto, as the
case may be, for the issuance by the Issuing Bank of standby letters of credit (collectively with the Existing Letters of Credit,
 “Letters of Credit”) in Dollars or another currency available under the US$ Commitments or the Multi-Currency
Commitments, as the case may be, for the account of the Parent or for the account (jointly and severally with the Parent) of such of
its Subsidiaries as the Company may specify, provided that in no event shall (i) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit
Liabilities under the US$ Commitments or the Multi-Currency Commitments, together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
the US$ Loans or the Multi-Currency Loans, as the case may be, exceed the aggregate amount of the US$ Commitments or the
Multi-Currency Commitments, as the case may be, as in effect from time to time, (ii) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit
Liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank and its Affiliates exceed such Issuing Bank’s Issuing
Bank Sublimit at any time, (iii) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit at
any time and (iv) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the earlier of the Commitment Termination Date and the
date one year following the issuance of such Letter of Credit (provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year tenor
may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods, which periods shall in any event not extend beyond the
Commitment Termination Date). On the Closing Date, all Existing Letters of Credit shall automatically, without any action on the
part of any Person, be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder (with the Existing Letters of Credit
denominated in Dollars being deemed to be issued under the US$ Commitments and the Existing Letters of Credit denominated in other
currencies being deemed to be issued under the Multi-Currency Commitments). On any Business Day after the Closing Date, an Issuing
Bank may, with the consent of the Company, include as a Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder any letter of credit previously
issued by it for the account of the Company or any other Borrower, subject to the requirements (including as to notice) that would
be applicable to such letter of credit if it were issued on such Business Day hereunder.

 

     

    43 

    

 

The following additional provisions shall apply to
Letters of Credit:

 

1)               The
Company shall give the Administrative Agent (or if the Letter of Credit is to be issued under the Multi-Currency Commitments, the Multi-Currency
Payment Agent) at least three Business Days’ irrevocable prior notice (effective upon receipt) specifying the Business Day (which
shall be no later than five days preceding the Commitment Termination Date) on which each Letter of Credit is to be issued, modified
or supplemented and the account party or parties therefor and describing in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit
(including the beneficiary thereof), or modification or supplement thereto, and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed
to be supported thereby. Any Letter of Credit to be issued in a currency other than Dollars shall be issued under the Multi-Currency
Commitments. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be, shall
advise the Issuing Bank of the contents thereof. The Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment
Agent, as the case may be, of the issuance, modification or supplementation of any Letter of Credit and of any termination or expiry
thereof.

 

2)               On each day during the period commencing with the issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of
Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the US$ Commitment or Multi-Currency Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed to be utilized
for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to such Lender’s US$ Commitment Percentage or Multi-Currency Percentage, as
the case may be, of the then undrawn stated amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) agrees that, upon
the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, it shall automatically acquire a participation in the Issuing Bank’s rights and
obligations under such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s US$ Commitment Percentage or Multi-Currency Percentage,
as the case may be, of such rights and obligations, and each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) thereby shall automatically absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and be unconditionally obligated to the Issuing Bank to
pay and discharge when due, its US$ Commitment Percentage or Multi-Currency Percentage of the Issuing Bank’s obligation to pay drawings
under such Letter of Credit.

 

3)               Upon
receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit that the Issuing Bank determines
to be in compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly, upon determination of the date on which
payment is to be made, notify the Company (through the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be)
of the amount to be paid by the Issuing Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by the Issuing Bank
to such beneficiary in respect of such demand. Notwithstanding the identity of the account party of any Letter of Credit, each of the
Parent and the Company (and each other account party) hereby unconditionally agrees to pay and reimburse the Administrative Agent, or
the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be, for account of the Issuing Bank for the amount of each demand for payment under
such Letter of Credit at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by the Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without
presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. The Parent’s and the Company’s (and each other account party’s)
obligations under this paragraph (3) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective
of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that any Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Bank, any beneficiary of
a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Parent and the Company (and each other account party) also agree with the Issuing Bank that
the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Reimbursement Obligations of the Parent and the Company (and each other account
party) under this paragraph (3) shall not be affected by, among other things, (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter
of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (b) any draft or other documents presented under a Letter of Credit proving
to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (c) any dispute
between or among the Obligors and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred
or any claims whatsoever of any Obligor against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee, (d) payments by the
Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter
of Credit, or (e) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the
provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of
the Parent and the Company (and each other account party) hereunder. The Issuing Bank shall not have any liability or responsibility
by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder
(irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay
in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit (including
any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes
beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability
to the Parent or the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages,
claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Parent and the Company (and each other account party) to the extent permitted by
applicable law) suffered by the Parent or the Company (or other account party) that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to
exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The
parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.
In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented
which appear on their face to be in substantial compliances with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion,
either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information
to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms
of such Letter of Credit.

 

     

    44 

    

 

4)               Forthwith
upon its receipt of a notice referred to in paragraph (3) of this Section 2.08, the Company shall advise the Administrative Agent or
the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be, whether or not the Company intends to borrow hereunder to finance its
obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, submit a notice of such
borrowing as provided in Section 5.05 hereof.

 

5)               Each Lender (other than the Issuing Bank) shall pay to the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case
may be, for account of the Issuing Bank at an account in New York, New York specified by the Administrative Agent (or the Multi-Currency
Payment Agent, as the case may be) in Dollars or in another currency available under the US$ Commitments or Multi-Currency Commitments,
as the case may be, and in immediately available funds the amount of such Lender’s US$ Commitment Percentage or Multi-Currency Percentage
of any payment under a Letter of Credit issued under the US$ Commitments or the Multi-Currency Commitments, as the case may be, upon notice
by the Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent) to such Lender requesting such payment and specifying such amount. Each such Lender’s
obligation to make such payment to the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be, for account of the
Issuing Bank under this paragraph (5), and the Issuing Bank’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the failure of any other Lender to make its payment
under this paragraph (5), the financial condition of the Parent or the Company (or any other account party), any failure to satisfy any
condition precedent to any Loan, the existence of any Default or the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to or for the account
of the Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. If any Lender shall default in its
obligation to make any such payment to the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be, for account of
the Issuing Bank, for so long as such default shall continue the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case
may be, may at the request of the Issuing Bank withhold from any payments received by the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment
Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement for account of such Lender the amount so in default and, to the extent so withheld, pay
the same to the Issuing Bank in satisfaction of such defaulted obligation.

 

6)               Upon
the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder, each Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the
Administrative Agent (or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent), the Issuing Bank or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an
amount equal to the payment by such Lender to the Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (5) above in the Reimbursement Obligation owing
to the Issuing Bank hereunder and under the Letter of Credit Documents relating to such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in
a percentage equal to such Lender’s US$ Commitment Percentage or Multi-Currency Percentage, as the case may be, in any
interest or other amounts payable by the Company hereunder and under such Letter of Credit Documents in respect of such
Reimbursement Obligation (other than the commissions, charges, costs and expenses payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph
(7) of this Section 2.08). Upon receipt by the Issuing Bank from or for account of the Company of any payment in respect of any
Reimbursement Obligation or any such interest or other amount (including by way of setoff or application of proceeds of any
collateral security) the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such receipt and pay to the Administrative
Agent (or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent) for account of each Lender entitled thereto such Lender’s US$ Commitment
Percentage or Multi-Currency Percentage, as the case may be, of such payment, each such payment by the Issuing Bank to be made in
the same money and funds in which received by the Issuing Bank. In the event any payment received by the Issuing Bank and so paid to
the Lenders hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Issuing Bank, each Lender shall, upon the request of the
Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be), repay to the Issuing Bank
(through the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be) the amount of such payment paid to such
Lender, with interest at the rate specified in paragraph (10) of this Section 2.08.

 

     

    45 

    

 

7)               The
Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be, for account of the Lenders (ratably
in accordance with their respective US$ Commitment Percentages or Multi-Currency Percentages, as the case may be) a letter of credit
fee in Dollars in respect of each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Applicable L/C Percentage of the daily average undrawn stated
amount of such Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (i) in the case of a
Letter of Credit that expires in accordance with its terms, to and including such expiration date and (ii) in the case of a Letter of
Credit that is drawn in full or is otherwise terminated other than on the stated expiration date of such Letter of Credit, to but excluding
the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full or is terminated (such fee to be non-refundable, to be paid in arrears on each Quarterly
Date and on the Commitment Termination Date and on the date of expiry or termination or full utilization of such Letter of Credit and
to be calculated for any day after giving effect to any payments made under such Letter of Credit on such day). In addition, the Company
shall pay to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee in Dollars in respect of each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to a percentage per annum
of the daily average undrawn stated amount of such Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter
of Credit (i) in the case of a Letter of Credit that expires in accordance with its terms, to and including such expiration date and
(ii) in the case of a Letter of Credit that is drawn in full or is otherwise terminated other than on the stated expiration date of such
Letter of Credit, to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full or is terminated (such fee to be non-refundable,
to be paid in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the Commitment Termination Date and to be calculated for any day after giving effect
to any payments made under such Letter of Credit on such day) plus all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily
charged by the Issuing Bank from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit and drawings
and other transactions relating thereto. The Company may designate Lenders as Issuing Lenders on the basis of competitive quotes of such
fronting fees.

 

8)               Promptly following the end of each calendar month, the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as applicable,
shall deliver to each Lender and the Company a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at the end
of such month (based on information previously received from the Issuing Banks). Upon the request of any Lender from time to time, the
Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as applicable, shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by such
Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding.

 

9)               The issuance by the Issuing Bank of each Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7
hereof, be subject to the conditions precedent that (i) such Letter of Credit shall be in such form, contain such terms and support such
transactions as shall be satisfactory to the Issuing Bank consistent with its then current practices and procedures with respect to letters
of credit of the same type, (ii) such Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or a Multi-Currency and (iii) the Company shall
have executed and delivered such applications, agreements and other instruments relating to such Letter of Credit as the Issuing Bank
shall have reasonably requested consistent with its then current practices and procedures with respect to letters of credit of the same
type, provided that in the event of any conflict between any such application, agreement or other instrument and the provisions
of this Agreement or any Security Document, the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents shall control.

 

     

    46 

    

 

10)             To the extent that any Lender shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to paragraph (5) or (6) of this Section
2.08 on the due date therefor, such Lender shall pay interest to the Issuing Bank (through the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency
Payment Agent, as the case may be) on such amount from and including such due date to but excluding the date such payment is made at
a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate or, in the case of any amount payable in a currency other than Dollars, the
rate determined by the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent (in the case of Letters of Credit issued under the Multi-Currency
Commitments) in its discretion as the appropriate rate for interbank settlements, provided that if such Lender shall fail to make
such payment to the Issuing Bank within three Business Days of such due date, then, retroactively to the due date, such Lender shall
be obligated to pay interest on such amount at the rate then payable by the Company on such amount.

 

11)             The
issuance by the Issuing Bank of any modification or supplement to any Letter of Credit hereunder shall be subject to the same conditions
as are applicable under this Section 2.08 to the issuance of new Letters of Credit, and no such modification or supplement shall be issued
hereunder unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally
been issued hereunder in such modified or supplemented form or (ii) each Lender shall have consented thereto.

 

12)             The Company and each other Borrower hereby indemnify and hold harmless each Lender (including
the Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent and the Multi-Currency Payment Agent) from and against any and all claims and damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) that such Lender, the Issuing Bank,
the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent may incur (or that may be claimed against such Lender, Issuing Bank, Administrative
Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with (i) the execution and delivery
or transfer of or payment or refusal to pay by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the issuance of or drawing under the Letters of Credit or the consummation of any other
transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any 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), or (iii) 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 any Obligor or its equity holders,
Affiliates, creditors or any other 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 the Issuing Bank, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment
to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank.

 

2.09.         
Currency Fluctuations, Etc. 

 

(a)              Not
later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Calculation Date, the Multi-Currency Payment Agent shall (i) determine the Exchange
Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to (w) each Multi-Currency for which there are at such time outstanding Multi-Currency
Loans or Letters of Credit issued under the Multi-Currency Commitments, (x) the Canadian Dollar if there are at such time outstanding
non-Dollar-denominated US$-Canadian Loans and (y) Pounds Sterling and euro if there are at such time outstanding non-Dollar-denominated
US$ Loans and (ii) give notice thereof to the Multi-Currency Lenders which have committed to make Multi-Currency Loans in each such Multi-Currency,
to the US$-Canadian Lenders which have committed to make US$-Canadian Loans in Canadian Dollars, to the US$ Lenders which have committed
to make US$ Loans in Pounds Sterling and euro and to the Company. The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the first
Business Day immediately following the relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”) and shall remain effective until
the next succeeding Reset Date.

 

     

    47 

    

 

(b)              Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on each Reset Date, the Multi-Currency Payment
Agent shall (i) determine (w) the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate principal amount of Multi-Currency Loans, Multi-Currency Swingline
Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities under the Multi-Currency Commitments in each Multi-Currency then outstanding (after giving effect
to any Multi-Currency Loans to be made or repaid on such date) (the “Outstanding Multi-Currency Amount”), (x) the Dollar-denominated
US$-Canadian Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities outstanding under the US$-Canadian Commitments, and the Dollar Equivalent of the Canadian
Dollar denominated US$-Canadian CDOR Loans and of the C$ Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities under the Canadian Commitments then outstanding
(after giving effect to any non-Dollar-denominated US$-Canadian Loans to be made or repaid on such date) (the “Outstanding US$-Canadian
Amount”) and (y) the Dollar-denominated US$ Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities under the US$ Commitments, and the Dollar
Equivalent of the Pounds Sterling denominated and euro denominated US$ Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities outstanding under the US$

US$ Amount”) and (ii) notify the Multi-Currency Lenders, the US$-Canadian Lenders or US$ Lenders, as the case may be, and the
Company of the results of such determination.

 

(c)              If on any Reset Date, the Outstanding Multi-Currency Amount exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of the Multi-Currency Commitments,
then the Company, the Parent or the relevant Borrower shall, within four Business Days after notice thereof from the Multi-Currency Payment
Agent, prepay (in any Multi-Currency as selected by the Company or such Borrower) Multi-Currency Loans in an aggregate amount such that,
after giving effect thereto, the Outstanding Multi-Currency Amount shall be equal to or less than such aggregate amount of Multi-Currency
Commitments (and in the event that after such prepayment, the Outstanding Multi-Currency Amount is more than such aggregate amount of
the Multi-Currency Commitments, the Company or the relevant Borrower shall provide cash cover for the difference by paying to the Multi-Currency
Payment Agent immediately available funds in an amount equal to such difference, which funds shall be retained by the Multi-Currency Payment
Agent in the Collateral Account as such collateral security for such Letter of Credit Liabilities). If any such prepayment occurs on a
day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Company or the relevant Borrower shall pay
to the Multi-Currency Lenders such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 6.05.

 

(d)              If on any Reset Date, the Outstanding US$-Canadian Amount exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of the US$-Canadian Commitments,
then the Company, the Parent or the relevant Borrower shall, within four Business Days after notice thereof from the Multi-Currency Payment
Agent, prepay (in Dollars or Canadian Dollars as selected by the Company or the Parent, as the case may be) US$-Canadian CDOR Loans, and/or
C$ Loans or Canadian Letters of Credit under the Canadian Commitments in an aggregate amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the
Outstanding Canadian Amount shall be equal to or less than such aggregate amount of US$-Canadian Commitments. If any such prepayment occurs
on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Company or the Parent, as the case may
be, shall pay to the US$-Canadian Lenders such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 6.05.

 

(e)              If
on any Reset Date, the Outstanding US$ Amount exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount of the US$ Commitments, then the Company, the
Parent shall or the relevant Borrower shall, within four Business Days after notice thereof from the Multi-Currency Payment Agent,
prepay (in Dollars, Pounds Sterling or euro as selected by the Company) US$ Loans in an aggregate amount such that, after giving
effect thereto, the Outstanding US$ Amount shall be equal to or less than such aggregate amount of US$ Commitments (and in the event
that after such prepayment, the Outstanding US$ Amount is more than such aggregate amount of the US$ Commitments, the Company or the
Parent, as the case may be, shall provide cash cover for the difference by paying to the Multi-Currency Payment Agent immediately
available funds in an amount equal to such difference, which funds shall be retained by the Multi-Currency Payment Agent in the
Collateral Account as such collateral security for such Letter of Credit Liabilities). If any such prepayment occurs on a day which
is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Company or the Parent, as the case may be, shall

2.10.         
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 Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.03;

 

(b)              the
Revolving Commitments of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Majority Lenders have
taken or may take any action under this Agreement (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 12.05), provided
that 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 affected thereby other than to the extent provided in Section 12.05;

 

(c)              if any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit Liability under any of the Revolving Commitments exists at the time a Lender becomes
a Defaulting Lender then:

 

(i)               all
or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion of Swingline Loans based on such Lender’s share of the relevant
Revolving Commitments (“Swingline Exposure”) and such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion of Letter
of Credit Liability based on such Lender’s share of the relevant Revolving Commitments (“L/C Exposure”) shall
be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective shares thereof but only to the extent (x)
the sum of all non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Loans under such Revolving Commitments and their Swingline Exposures
and Letter of Credit Liabilities thereunder plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure under such Revolving
Commitments does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Commitments
and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 are satisfied at such time;

 

(ii)             
if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the relevant Borrower shall within
one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay any such remaining Swingline Exposure and (y) second,
cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to any such Defaulting Lender’s
remaining L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures
set forth in Section 10.01 for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding;

 

(iii)             if
such Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(ii), the
Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(7) with respect to such L/C
Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized;

 

     

    49 

    

 

(iv)             if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(i), then the fees payable to the
Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.08(7) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages;
or

 

(v)              if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to
Section 2.10(c)(i) or (ii), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender under this Agreement,
all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.08(7) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to
the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

 

(d)              so
long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing
Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the
Defaulting Revolving Lender’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the relevant non-Defaulting
Revolving Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the relevant Borrower in accordance with Section 2.10(c), and participating
interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among such non-Defaulting
Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.10(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and

 

(e)              any
payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 10.01 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.19 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 any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder;
third, to cash collateralize the Issuing Banks’ fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with
Section 2.10(c)(ii); fourth, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of
any 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 Company, 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 fronting exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender
with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(ii); sixth, to the payment
of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lenders 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 Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower against such Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, 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 Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share,
and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 7.03 were
satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting
Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, such Defaulting
Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders
pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.10(c)(i). 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 2.10(e) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each
Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

     

    50 

    

 

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to any Person
as to which any Lender is, directly or indirectly, a subsidiary shall occur following the Effective Date and for so long as such event
shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its
obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required
to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline
Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to
the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

 

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the relevant
Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender each agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused
such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of the Revolving Lenders under the relevant Revolving
Commitments shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s relevant Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender
shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of such other Revolving 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 share of the relevant Revolving Commitments.

 

(f)               If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the relevant Borrower or Borrowers shall have the right, at its sole expense and
effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse, all
its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Borrower or Borrowers shall have received the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank) which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld and (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations
in Letters of Credit 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 such Borrower or Borrowers (in the case of all
other amounts). 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 relevant Borrower or Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease
to apply.

 

2.11.          Term
Loan Purchases. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company may from time to time
purchase, in accordance with this Section 2.11, Term Loans from one or more Lenders on a non-pro rata basis pursuant to a Dutch
auction or other process satisfactory to the Administrative Agent open to all applicable Lenders, on terms to be agreed between the
Company and the Lenders participating in such Dutch auction; provided that (i) the Company may not use the proceeds of the
Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans to fund such purchase, (ii) any gain from any such purchase is not added back to EBITDA or
EBITDAR, (iii) in connection with any such purchase the Parent makes a customary representation that it has no undisclosed material
non-public information (within the meaning of United States federal securities laws) with respect to the Parent and its Subsidiaries
and the Loans, (iv) the procedures with respect to any such Dutch auction shall be approved by the Administrative Agent, and (v) any
principal and accrued interest and unpaid interest on the Term Loans purchased by the Company shall be cancelled and such Term Loans
shall no longer be outstanding for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Basic Documents.

 

     

    51 

    

 

2.12.         
Extension Offers.

 

(a)              Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from
time to time by the Company to all Lenders of Term Loans under a Facility or Revolving Lenders under a Facility on a pro rata
basis (based respectively on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans under such Facility or the relevant
aggregate outstanding Revolving Commitments under such Facility) and on the same terms respectively to each such Lender, the Company
may from time to time extend the maturity date of the relevant Term Loans or the relevant Revolving Commitments, as the case may be,
and otherwise modify the terms of the relevant Term Loans or the relevant Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the
relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of the Term
Loans or the relevant Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such
Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of relevant Term Loans or relevant Revolving
Commitments, as the case may be, as so extended, as well as the original relevant Term Loans or relevant Revolving Commitments (in
each case, not so extended), each being a “tranche”; any Extension Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of
Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were converted and any Extension Revolving Commitments shall constitute a
separate tranche of Revolving Commitments from the tranche of relevant Revolving Commitments from which they were converted), so
long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the
offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders and the representations and warranties in Article
VIII shall be accurate in all material respects both before and after giving effect to such Extension, (ii) in respect of Term
Loans, except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in
prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Company and set forth
in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extension Term
Loans”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer, (iii) the final maturity
date of any Extension Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then latest maturity date of Term Loans and the amortization
applicable to Term Loans for periods prior to the original maturity date may not be increased, (iv) the Weighted Average Life to
Maturity of any Extension Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans
extended thereby, (v) any Extension Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but
not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as
specified in the respective Extension Offer, (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as
applicable (calculated on the face amount thereof), in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer
shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or relevant Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, offered to
be extended by the Company pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or the relevant Revolving Commitments, as
applicable, of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts
(but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (vii) all
documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition
shall be satisfied unless waived by the Company, and (ix) any tranche which is an Extension of Revolving Commitments shall have the
same terms (other than interest rate and fees and an extended maturity date) as the tranche of Revolving Commitments subject to such
Extension Offer unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent. The relevant Revolving Commitments of any Revolving Lender
extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extension Revolving Commitments”) shall expire no earlier than the
termination date of the tranche of relevant Revolving Commitments subject to such Extension Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, no
Lender shall be required to participate in any Extension.

 

     

    52 

    

 

(b)              With respect to all Extensions consummated pursuant to this Section 2.12, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or
mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 3.02 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or
any minimum increment; provided that the Company may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”)
to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Company’s
reasonable judgment and which may be waived by the Company) of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments tendered. The Administrative Agent
and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.12 (including, for the avoidance
of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extension Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant
Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Basic Document that may otherwise prohibit
any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.12

 

(c)              The
Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Basic Documents
with the Obligors as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments
so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and
the Company in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section
2.12.

 

(d)              In connection with any Extension, the Company shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days’ (or such
shorter notice as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any,
as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this
Section 2.12. After such notice of an Extension is given to the Administrative Agent, should any existing Lenders choose not to participate
in the Extension the Borrowers will have the right to add an additional Lender party thereto to replace the Loans and/or Commitments of
such existing Lenders, subject to receipt of consents of the type required by Section 12.06(b).

 

2.13.         
Refinancing Facilities. 

 

(a)              The
Company may, on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request the establishment hereunder of (i) a new
Class of revolving commitments (the “Refinancing Revolving Commitments”) pursuant to which each Person providing such
a commitment (a “Refinancing Revolving Lender”) will make revolving loans to the Borrowers (“Refinancing
Revolving Loans”) and acquire participations in the Letters of Credit and (ii) one or more additional Classes of term loan
commitments (the “Refinancing Term Loan Commitments”) pursuant to which each Person providing such a commitment (a
 “Refinancing Term Lender”) will make term loans to the Company (the “Refinancing Term Loans”);
provided that (A) each Refinancing Revolving Lender and each Refinancing Term Loan Lender shall be a Person eligible to receive assignments
pursuant to Section 12.06(b) and, if not already a Lender, shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (B)
each Refinancing Revolving Lender shall be approved by each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender (such approvals not to be unreasonably
withheld).

 

     

    53 

    

 

(b)              The Refinancing Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Refinancing Facility Agreements executed and delivered
by the Borrowers, each Refinancing Lender providing such Refinancing Commitments, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of Refinancing
Revolving Commitments, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender; provided that no Refinancing Commitments shall become effective unless
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of effectiveness thereof, (ii) on the date of effectiveness
thereof, the representations and warranties of each of the Parent and the Company set forth in the Basic Documents shall be true and correct
(A) in the case of the representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects and (B) otherwise, in all material
respects, in each case on and as of such date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that specifically relates to
an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be so true and correct on and as of such earlier date, (iii) the
Company shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s
certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction,
(iv) in the case of any Refinancing Revolving Commitments, substantially concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, all the Revolving
Commitments then in effect shall be terminated, and all the Revolving Loans then outstanding, together with all interest thereon, and
all other amounts accrued for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, shall be repaid or paid (it being understood, however, that any Letters
of Credit may continue to be outstanding hereunder), and the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Revolving Commitments does not exceed
the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments so terminated, and (v) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loan Commitments, substantially
concurrently with the effectiveness thereof, the Company shall obtain Refinancing Term Loans thereunder and shall repay or prepay then
outstanding Term Loans of one or more Classes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Refinancing Term
Loan Commitments (less the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such outstanding Term Loans and any reasonable
fees, premium and expenses relating to such refinancing). The Company shall determine the amount of such prepayments allocated to each
Class of outstanding Term Loans, and any such prepayment of Term Loans of any Class shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled
repayments of Term Loans of such Class to be made pursuant to Sections 4.01(b) and 4.01(d) as directed by the Company.

 

(c)              The
Refinancing Facility Agreement shall set forth, with respect to the Refinancing Commitments established thereby and the Refinancing
Loans and other extensions of credit to be made thereunder, to the extent applicable, the following terms thereof: (i) the
designation of such Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans as a new “Class” for all purposes hereof (provided
that with the consent of the Administrative Agent, any Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans may be treated as a single
 “Class” with any then-outstanding existing Commitments or Loans), (ii) the stated termination and maturity dates
applicable to the Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class, provided that (A) such stated termination and maturity
dates shall not be earlier than the applicable Commitment Termination Date and (B) any Refinancing Term Loans shall not have a
weighted average life to maturity shorter than the Class of Term Loans so refinanced, (iii) in the case of any Refinancing Term
Loans, any amortization applicable thereto and the effect thereon of any prepayment of such Refinancing Term Loans, (iv) the
interest rate or rates applicable to the Refinancing Loans of such Class, (v) the fees applicable to the Refinancing Commitments or
Refinancing Loans of such Class, (vi) in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, any original issue discount applicable thereto,
(vii) the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable to Refinancing Loans of such Class, (viii) any voluntary or
mandatory commitment reduction or prepayment requirements applicable to Refinancing Commitments or Refinancing Loans of such Class
(which prepayment requirements, in the case of any Refinancing Term Loans, may provide that such Refinancing Term Loans may
participate in any mandatory prepayment on a pro rata basis with any Class of existing Term Loans, but may not provide for
prepayment requirements that are more favorable to the Lenders holding such Refinancing Term Loans than to the Lenders holding such
Class of Term Loans) and any restrictions on the voluntary or mandatory reductions or prepayments of Refinancing Commitments or
Refinancing Loans of such Class and (ix) any financial covenant with which the Company shall be required to comply (provided that if
any Refinancing Term Loans have a financial covenant at any time prior to the Latest Termination Date in effect hereunder at the
time of incurrence of such Refinancing Term Loans, then any then-outstanding Term Loans (to the extent entitled to the benefits of a
financial covenant at the time of incurrence) and the Refinancing Term Loans shall vote together as a single class on all waivers,
amendments or events of default related thereto). Except as contemplated by the preceding sentence, the terms of the Refinancing
Revolving Commitments and Refinancing Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder shall be substantially the same as,
or not materially less favorable to the Parent and its Subsidiaries than the terms (taken as a whole) of the Revolving Commitments
and Revolving Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder, and the terms of the Refinancing Term Loan Commitments and
Refinancing Term Loans shall be substantially the same as, or not materially less favorable to the Parent and its Subsidiaries than
the terms (taken as a whole) of the existing Initial Term Commitment and the Commitment of any Incremental Term Loan and the
existing Term Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Facility
Agreement. Each Refinancing Facility Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Refinancing Lenders,
effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Basic Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the
Administrative Agent, to give effect to the provisions of this Section 2.13, including any amendments necessary to treat the
applicable Refinancing Commitments and Refinancing Loans as a new “Class” of loans and/or commitments hereunder.

Prepayments.

 

3.01.

(a)              The Company shall give the Administrative Agent or the applicable Multi-Currency Payment Agent notice of each US$ Loan, US$-Canadian
Loan, Multi-Currency Loan and Term Loan to be made hereunder as provided in Section 5.05 hereof.

 

(b)              Not later than 12:00 p.m. New York time on the date specified for each borrowing in Dollars hereunder, each US$ Lender, US$-Canadian
Lender, Multi-Currency Lender or Term Lender shall make available the amount of the US$ Loan, US$-Canadian Loan, Multi-Currency Loan or
Term Loan to be made by it on such date to the Administrative Agent, at an account in New York, New York specified by the Administrative

the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Company by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in
an account of the Company designated by the Company and maintained with the Administrative Agent.

 

(c)              Not
later than 11:00 a.m. London time on the date specified for each such borrowing in a currency other than Dollars hereunder, each
Multi-Currency Lender, or, if a US$-Canadian Loan is being made in Canadian Dollars, each US$-Canadian Lender, or if a US$ Loan is
being made in Pounds Sterling or euro, each US$ Lender, shall make available the amount of the Multi-Currency Loan, US$-Canadian
Loan or US$ Loan, as the case may be, to be made by it on such date to the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, at an account in London
specified by the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, in immediately available funds, for account of the Parent, the Company, the
Multi-Currency Borrower or any Additional Borrower, as the case may be. The amount so received by the applicable Multi-Currency
Payment Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the US$ Borrower, the US$ Canadian
Borrower, the Multi-Currency Borrower or any Additional Borrower, as the case may be, by depositing the same, in immediately
available funds, in an account of the US$ Borrower, US$-Canadian Borrower, Multi-Currency Borrower, or Additional Borrower, as the
case may be, designated by such Borrower with the Administrative Agent.

 

     

    55 

    

 

 

(d)             The procedures for any Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans shall be as specified in the Incremental Term Loan Activation Notice.

 

3.02.          Prepayments and Conversions.

 

(a)             Optional Prepayments and Conversions. The Company shall have the right to prepay Loans and to convert Loans in Dollars of
one Type into Loans of the other Type, at any time or from time to time, provided, that the Company shall give the Administrative
Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent notice of each such prepayment as provided in Section 5.05 hereof. Any prepayment of Term Loans
under this Section 3.02(a) shall be applied ratably to the Term Loans in the tranche being prepaid and to the installments of such Term
Loans in such order of application as the Company may direct (including in the direct order of maturity) and such prepaid amounts may
not be reborrowed. Revolving Loans in one currency may not be converted to being Revolving Loans in another currency, but may be prepaid
and reborrowed as provided herein.

 

(b)            Mandatory
Prepayments. If on any date, the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Parent shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any issuance of Indebtedness
subsequent to the Effective Date, other than Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 9.08 hereof (it being understood that this Section
3.02(b) shall not constitute a waiver of any provision of Section 9.08), then the Company shall prepay the Loans (and/or provide cover
for Letter of Credit Liabilities as specified in paragraph (d) below) in an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds (less any prepayments
of the C$ Loans under Section 3.4(b) of Annex A hereto), but the Revolving Commitments shall not be subject to automatic reduction.

 

(i)              Amounts
to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 3.02(b) shall be applied, first, to the prepayment
of the Term Loans (which may not be reborrowed), if any, and, second, to the prepayment of the Revolving Loans. Each prepayment
of the Loans under this Section 3.02(b) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

 

(c)             Commitment Reductions; Term Loan Prepayments. If on any date, the Parent or any Subsidiary of the Parent shall receive Net
Cash Proceeds from (A) any disposition of assets to any Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary or (B) any Recovery Event, then,
unless such disposition of assets or Recovery Event shall be a Reinvestment Event, within ten Business Days of receipt of such Proceeds,
the Revolving Commitments shall be reduced or the Term Loans prepaid, as the case may be, by an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds
to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds, together with all other such Net Cash Proceeds from dispositions of assets or Recovery Events that
are not Reinvestment Events, exceeds $50,000,000 in the then-current fiscal year of the Company; provided, that notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds from dispositions of assets and Recovery Events that may be excluded from the foregoing
requirement for a Reinvestment Event shall not exceed 15% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets as at the end of the immediately preceding
fiscal year and (ii) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant
Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the reduction of the Revolving Commitments or the prepayment of the Term Loans, as the case
may be.

 

     

    56 

    

 

(i)              Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments and Revolving Commitment reductions
made pursuant to this Section 3.02(c) shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans (which may not be reborrowed)
and, second, to permanently reduce the Revolving Commitments. Each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 3.02(c) shall be
accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. To the extent that, after giving effect to any
such reduction of the Revolving Commitments, the aggregate principal amount of the US$ Loans, the US$-Canadian Loans or the Multi-Currency
Loans and the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities under the US$ Commitments, US$-Canadian Commitments or the Multi-Currency
Commitments, as the case may be, would exceed such Revolving Commitments, the Company shall, first, prepay Loans thereunder and, second,
provide cover for Letter of Credit Liabilities thereunder as specified in paragraph (d) below, in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.
The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to a prepayment or Revolving
Commitment reduction under this Section 3.02(c). Any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to Section 3.02(b) or (c) shall be applied as
specified in Section 5.02(f). Any repayment or prepayment of Term Loans may not be reborrowed. In the event that Term Loans of any Class
are converted into a new Class of Term Loans pursuant to a Refinancing Facility Agreement effected pursuant to Section 2.13, then the
subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Loans of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section 3.02 will not be reduced or otherwise
affected by such transaction (except to the extent of additional amortization payments in agreed amounts on or after the original Commitment
Termination Date applicable to any such Term Loans and related reductions in the final scheduled payment at any new Commitment Termination
Date).

 

(d)             Cover
for Letter of Credit Liabilities. In the event that the US$ Loans or the Multi-Currency Loans have been repaid in full, amounts payable
under Section 3.02(b) or 3.02(c) shall be applied to provide cash cover for outstanding Letters of Credit under the US$ Commitments or
the Multi-Currency Commitments, as the case may be, in which event the Company shall effect the same by paying to the Administrative
Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be, immediately available funds in an amount equal to the amount required
to provide such cash cover, which funds shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent in the Collateral
Account on behalf of the Lenders as collateral security for such Letter of Credit Liabilities until such time as the Letters of Credit
under such Revolving Commitments shall have been terminated and all of the Letter of Credit Liabilities paid in full.

of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower for the period commencing on
the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

 

1)              if such Loan is an ABR Loan, the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

3)              if such Loan is a BBSY Loan, the BBSY Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

 

4)              if such Loan is an Agreed Rate Loan, the Agreed Rate applicable thereto;

foregoing, each of the Borrowers hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent or, in the case of non-Dollar denominated
Multi-Currency Loans, non-Dollar-denominated US$-Canadian Loans or non-Dollar-denominated US$ Loans to the Multi-Currency Payment
Agent, for account of each Lender interest at the applicable Post-Default Rate (x) on any principal of any Loan made by such
Lender to the Company or any other Borrower, on any Reimbursement Obligation held by such Lender and on any other amount payable by
the Company or any other Borrower hereunder to or for account of such Lender (but, if such amount is interest, only to the extent
legally enforceable), that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment
or otherwise), for the period from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date the same is paid in full and (y)
during any period when an Event of Default shall have occurred under Section 10.01(1) hereof and for so long as such Event of
Default shall be continuing, on any principal of any Loan made by such Lender to the Company or any other Borrower.

 

     

    61 

    

 

Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i)
if such Loan is an ABR Loan or a C$ Prime Loan, on each Quarterly Date, (ii) if such Loan is a Eurocurrency Loan, a CDOR Loan or a BBSY
Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period for such Loan (and, if such Interest Period exceeds three months’ duration, quarterly,
commencing on the first quarterly anniversary of the first day of such Interest Period), and (iii) in any event, upon the payment, prepayment
or conversion thereof, but only on the principal so paid or prepaid or converted; provided that interest payable at the Post-Default

denominated Multi-Currency Loans, non-Dollar-denominated US$-Canadian Loans or non-Dollar-denominated US$ Loans) or the Majority Lenders.
Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Administrative Agent shall notify
the Lenders and each Borrower thereof.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 4.02, if at any time the rate of interest set forth above on any Loan of any Lender (the “Stated Rate” for such Loan)
exceeds the maximum non-usurious interest rate permissible for such Lender to charge commercial borrowers under applicable law (the
 “Maximum Rate” for such Lender), the rate of interest charged on such Loan of such Lender hereunder shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate for such Lender.

 

In the event the Stated Rate for any Loan of a Lender
that has theretofore been subject to the preceding paragraph at any time is less than the Maximum Rate for such Lender, the principal
amount of such Loan shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate for such Lender until the total amount of interest paid to such Lender or
accrued on its Loans hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been paid to such Lender or accrued on such Lender’s
Loans hereunder if the Stated Rate had at all times been in effect.

 

In the event, upon payment in
full of all amounts payable hereunder, the total amount of interest paid to any Lender or accrued on such Lender’s Loans under
the terms of this Agreement is less than the total amount of interest which would have been paid to such Lender or accrued on such
Lender’s Loans if the Stated Rate had, at all times, been in effect, then the Company shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, pay to the Administrative Agent or, in the case of non-Dollar denominated Multi-Currency Loans,
non-Dollar-denominated US$-Canadian Loans or non-Dollar- denominated US$ Loans, to the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, for the account
of such Lender an amount equal to the difference between (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on
such Lender’s Loans if the Maximum Rate for such Lender had at all times been in effect or (ii) the amount of interest which
would have accrued on such Lender’s Loans if the Stated Rate had at all times been in effect and (b) the amount of interest
actually paid to such Lender or accrued on its Loans under this Agreement. In the event any Lender ever receives, collects or
applies as interest any sum in excess of the Maximum Rate for such Lender, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of
the principal balance of its Loans or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal is then
outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to the Company.

any such payment is made, may (but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such time to any
ordinary deposit account of the Company with the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be. The Company shall, at the time
of making each such payment, specify to the Administrative Agent the Loans or other amounts payable by the Company or any other Borrower

and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply such payment for the benefit of the Lenders as it may elect in its sole discretion,
but subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 5.02 hereof). Each payment received

Payment Agent at an account in London specified by the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m. London time on the
date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made
on the next succeeding Business Day). The Multi-Currency Payment Agent, or any Lender for whose account any such payment is made,
may (but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such time to any ordinary deposit
account of the Company with the Multi-Currency Payment Agent or such Lender, as the case may be. The Company shall, at the time of
making each such payment, specify to the Multi-Currency Payment Agent the Loans or other amounts payable by the Company or any other
Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that it fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Multi-Currency Payment Agent may apply such payment for the benefit of the Lenders as it may
elect in its sole discretion, but subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section
5.02 hereof). Each such payment received by the Multi-Currency Payment Agent for the account of a Lender shall be paid promptly to
such Lender, in immediately available funds, for the account of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office. If the due date of
any such payment would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.

prior to the date on which such Lender is to make payment to the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case
may be, of the proceeds of a Loan to be made by it hereunder or a Borrower is to make a payment to the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency
Payment Agent, as the case may be, for the account of one or more of the Lenders, as the case may be (such payment being herein called
the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the
Required Payment to the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent or the
Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be, may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption
(but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in
fact made the Required Payment to the Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be, the recipient of

5.07.         Sharing
of Payments; Waiver of Enforcement Without Consent, Etc. 

 

(a)             If
a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan made by it under this Agreement or any Refinancing Facility
Agreement, or on any other obligation then due to such Lender hereunder, through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s
lien, counterclaim or similar right, or otherwise (other than pursuant to the terms hereof), it shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent (or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be) and purchase from the other Lenders participations in the Loans made,
or other obligations held, by the other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable
to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in
obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal and interest on the Loans or other obligations
then due to each of them. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations
sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored (including the payment of interest to the extent that the
Lender obligated to return such funds is obligated to return interest).

 

(b)            Nothing
contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or
shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness
or obligation of any Borrower.

 

(c)             This
Section 5.07 is for the benefit of the Lenders only and does not constitute a waiver of any rights against any Borrower or any of their
Subsidiaries or against any property held as security for any obligations hereunder or under any other Basic Document.

 

5.08.         Taxes.

 

(a)             Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of
and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law; provided, that if any Indemnified Taxes
(including any Other Taxes) are required to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the applicable Borrower
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section) the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, Lender or Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made and (ii) if any
Borrower was the party required to make such deductions or withholdings under applicable law, such party shall make such deductions and
shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

     

    70 

    

 

(b)             Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, each Borrower shall timely
pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(c)             Indemnification by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent,
the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, 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 5.08) paid or payable by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, such Lender
or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and 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; provided,
however, that no Borrower shall be liable to indemnify any Lender or participant for any Taxes attributable to a Lender’s failure
to comply with the provisions of Section 12.6 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register. A certificate as to the amount of
such payment or liability delivered to such Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by
the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be, on its own behalf
or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)            Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative
Agent and the Multi-Currency Payment Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrowers
have not already indemnified such parties for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) attributable
to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent
in connection with this Agreement 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. The indemnity under this Section 5.08(d) shall be paid
within 10 days after the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent delivers to the applicable
Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by them. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid
or payable absent manifest error.

 

(e)             Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant
to this Section 5.08, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency
Payment Agent, as the case may be, 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,
the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be.

 

(f)             Status
of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the
jurisdiction in which a Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to
payments hereunder shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or the
Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be,
such properly completed and executed documentation 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 requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent
or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be, as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, the Canadian
Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the completion,
execution and submission of any such documentation for the benefit of a Borrower or Additional Borrower (other than such
documentation set forth in Section 5.08(f)(ii)(I), (II) and (IV) below) shall not be required if in the Lender's judgment such
completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (or, in the case of a
Regulatory Change, any incremental material unreimbursed cost or expense) or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial
position of such Lender.

 

     

    71 

    

 

(ii)            Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to the Parent, the Company and any Additional Borrower that is resident for tax
purposes in the United States of America,

Company, any Additional Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be), executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9
certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States Federal backup withholding tax,

 

(II)            any Foreign Lender (such term to mean, solely for purposes of this Section 5.08(f)(ii)(II),
any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America, each State thereof and the District
of Columbia), or, in the case of clause (IV) below, any Lender, shall deliver to the Parent, the Company or any such Additional Borrower
and the Administrative Agent, as the case may be (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or prior to the
date on which it becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Parent, the Company,
any Additional Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, but only if such Lender is legally entitled to do so) whichever
of the following is applicable:

substantially in the form of Exhibit P-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner,

 

(III)           any other form (including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (together with any applicable
underlying Internal Revenue Service forms)) prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United
States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to
permit the Parent, the Company, any such Additional Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required
to be made, or

 

(IV)           if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to United States 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 Parent, the Company, any such
Additional Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times

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

If a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (g)(ii) above,
the UK Borrower(s) shall make a Borrower DTTP filing with respect to such Lender, and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of
such filing; provided that, if (I) each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of
such Lender or (II) each UK Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but (1)
such Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs or (2) HM Revenue & Customs has not given such UK Borrower
authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction for tax within 60 days of the date of such Borrower DTTP Filing, and, in
each case, such UK Borrower has notified such Lender in writing of either clause (1) or (2) above, then such Lender and such UK Borrower
shall co-operate in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that
payment without withholding or deductions for Taxes imposed under the laws of the United Kingdom.

  

(iv)
If a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with clause (g)(ii) above, no
UK Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport Scheme in respect of that
Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise agrees.

  

(v)
Each UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of such Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent
for delivery to the relevant Lender.

 

(vi)
Each Lender shall notify the Company, the relevant UK Borrower and Administrative Agent if it determines in its sole discretion that it
has ceases to be entitled to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United Kingdom is a party with respect to payments
made by any UK Borrower hereunder.

 

(h)             FATCA
Grandfathering. For purposes of determining withholding taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Closing Date of this
Agreement, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to
treat) the Existing Credit Agreement (together with any loans or other extensions of credit pursuant thereto) as not qualifying as a
 “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i) and related temporary
regulations.

 

     

    74 

    

 

(i)              Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Multi-Currency Payment
Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Bank determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to
this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, such Lender or the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such
refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency
Payment Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent
or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative
Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent or the Multi-Currency Payment
Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems
confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person. In the event of any inconsistency between this Section 5.08 and Section 3.9 of Annex
A in respect of amounts owing under Annex A, Section 3.9 of Annex A shall supersede this Section 5.08.

 

(j)              Survival.
Each party's obligations under this Section 5.08 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination
of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under this Agreement.

 

5.09.         Judgment
Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due from a Borrower hereunder
in the currency expressed to be payable herein (the “specified currency”) into another currency, the parties hereto
agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance
with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the specified currency with other such currency at the
Administrative Agent’s New York Office on the Business Day that is on or immediately following the day on which final judgment
is given. The obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Multi-Currency
Payment Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than the
specified currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender, the Administrative
Agent, the Multi-Currency Payment Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due
in such other currency, such Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Multi-Currency Payment Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent
as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the specified currency with such other currency. If
the amount of the specified currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender, the Administrative Agent, the
Multi-Currency Payment Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified currency, each of the
Borrowers agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify such Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Multi-Currency Payment Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case
may be, against such loss, and if the amount of the specified currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any Lender,
the Administrative Agent the Multi-Currency Payment Agent or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in the specified
currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, or the Multi-Currency Payment Agent, or the Canadian Administrative Agent, as the
case may be, agrees to remit such excess to the Borrowers.

Section 6  Yield Protection and Illegality.

 

6.01.         
Additional Costs.

 

(a)               
The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender
may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by such Lender which such Lender determines are attributable to
its making, maintaining, converting or continuing of any Loans hereunder to the Company or any other Borrower or its obligation to make
any of such Loans hereunder to the Company or any other Borrower, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender in respect
of any of such Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional
Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

 

(i)                
subjects the Lender or Issuing Bank to Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations,
or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable
to such Lender or Issuing Bank under this Agreement in respect of any of such Loans (other than Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 5.08
and Excluded Taxes); or

 

(ii)             
imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of,
or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of
 “Eurocurrency Base Rate” in Section 1.01 hereof) (except any reserve requirement reflected in the definition of Eurocurrency
Rate); or

 

(iii)           
imposes any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).

 

Each Lender (such term to include the Issuing Bank for purposes
of this Section 6.01(a), solely in the case of and with respect to (i) above) will notify the Company through the Administrative
Agent of any event occurring after the Effective Date of this Agreement which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to
this Section 6.01(a) (an “Additional Cost Event”) as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof
and determines to request such compensation, provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to compensate such Lender for
any such Additional Costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the time the Lender first notifies the Company of such Additional
Cost Event (or such longer period if such Additional Cost Event is given retroactive effect). Each Lender will furnish the Company
with a statement setting forth the calculations and the basis therefor, in each case in reasonable detail, and amount of each
request by such Lender for compensation under this Section 6.01(a). If any Lender requests compensation from the Company under this
Section 6.01(a), the Company may, by notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, suspend the obligation of such Lender
to make additional Loans of the Type for which compensation is requested to the Company until the Regulatory Change giving rise to
such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 6.04 hereof shall be applicable).

 

     

    76 

    

 

(b)               
Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change,
any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of
deposits or other liabilities of such Lender which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Eurocurrency Loans, CDOR
Loans or BBSY Loans, as the case may be, is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets
of such Lender which includes Eurocurrency Loans, CDOR Loans or BBSY Loans, as the case may be, or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions
on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets which it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Company (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans, CDOR Loans or BBSY Loans, as the case may
be, hereunder shall be suspended until the date such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section
6.04 hereof shall be applicable).

 

(c)               
Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 6.01 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs
of maintaining its obligations to make Loans or of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and
of the additional amounts required to compensate such Lender in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error,
provided that such determinations and allocations are made on a reasonable basis.

 

(d)               
If any Lender demands compensation under this Section, the Company may, at any time upon at least three (3) Business Days’
prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, convert in full the then outstanding Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars
of such Lender (in which case the Company shall be obligated, if such conversion is made on a day that is not the last day of the then
current Interest Period applicable to such affected Eurocurrency Loan, to reimburse such Lender, in accordance with Section 6.05, for
any resulting loss or expense incurred by it) to an ABR Loan.

 

6.02.         
Limitation on Types of Loans. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

 

(i)                
the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and
binding absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means (including, without limitation, by means of an Interpolated Rate), do
not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Base Rate, the Eurocurrency Rate, the CDOR Rate or the BBSY Rate, as applicable, for such
Interest Period (including, without limitation, because the Eurocurrency Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate is not available or published
on a current basis); or

 

(ii)                the
Majority Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify the Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of
interest referred to in the definition of “Eurocurrency Base Rate”, “CDOR Rate” or “BBSY Rate”
in Section 1.01 upon the basis of which the rates of interest for such Loans are to be determined do not accurately reflect the cost
to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for Interest Periods therefor; then the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Company and each applicable Lender thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be
under no obligation to make Eurocurrency Loans, CDOR Loans or BBSY Loans, as the case may be, or to convert ABR Loans into
Eurocurrency Loans and the Company shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurocurrency
Loans, CDOR Loans or BBSY Loans, as the case may be, either prepay such Loans or convert such Loans (in the case of
Dollar-denominated Eurocurrency Loans) into ABR Loans in accordance with Section 3.02 hereof.

 

     

    77 

    

 

(iii)            
If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
and binding absent manifest error) that (a) the circumstances set forth in clause (i) of the first paragraph of this Section 6.02 have
arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (b) the circumstances set forth in clause (i) of the first paragraph of
this Section 6.02 have not arisen but either (w) the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurocurrency Base Rate has made a public
statement that the administrator of the Eurocurrency Base Rate is insolvent (and there is no successor administrator that will continue
publication of the Eurocurrency Base Rate), (x) the administrator of the Eurocurrency Base Rate has made a public statement identifying
a specific date after which the Eurocurrency Base Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it (and there is no successor
administrator that will continue publication of the Eurocurrency Base Rate), (y) the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurocurrency
Base Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurocurrency Base Rate will permanently or indefinitely
cease to be published or (z) the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurocurrency Base Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction
over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Eurocurrency Base Rate may no longer
be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate
rate of interest to the Eurocurrency Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate
of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such
alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such
related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.05, such
amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative
Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders,
a written notice from the Majority Lenders stating that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment; provided that for purposes of
this sentence, (A) any Term Loans that are Term B Loans shall be disregarded in determining the Majority Lenders and (B) any Incremental
Term Loans that are not Term B Loans shall be disregarded in determining the Majority Lenders, unless the Incremental Term Loan Activation
Notice in respect of such Incremental Term Loans provides that such Incremental Term Loans shall be included in determining the Majority
Lenders purposes of this sentence, in which case the Majority Lenders for such purposes shall be so determined. Until an alternate rate
of interest shall be determined in accordance with this paragraph (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (b) of the
first sentence of this paragraph, only to the extent the Eurocurrency Base Rate and such Interest Period is not available or published
at such time on a current basis), (x) any notice of borrowing that requests the conversion of any borrowing to, or continuation of any
borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Rate borrowing shall be ineffective and (y) if any notice of borrowing requests a Eurocurrency Rate borrowing,
such borrowing shall be made as a borrowing bearing interest at a rate based upon the Alternate Base Rate; provided that, if such alternate
rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

 

6.03.          Illegality.
If, in any applicable jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender determines that any law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any
Lender to (i) perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Base Document with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, CDOR Loans or
BBSY Loans, (ii) fund or maintain its participation in any Eurocurrency Loan, CDOR Loan or BBSY Loan or (iii) issue, make, maintain,
fund or charge interest with respect to any such Loan, such Person shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and upon the
Administrative Agent notifying the Parent, and until such notice by such Person is revoked, any obligation of such Person to issue,
make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Loan shall be suspended, and to the extent required by applicable
law, cancelled.

 

     

    78 

    

 

6.04.         
Substitute ABR Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section
6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 hereof, all Loans in Dollars which would otherwise be made by such Lender as Eurocurrency Loans shall be made instead
as ABR Loans (and, if an event referred to in Section 6.01(b)or 6.03 hereof has occurred and such Lender so requests by notice to the
Company with a copy to the Administrative Agent, each Dollar-denominated Eurocurrency Loan of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically
converted into an ABR Loan on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Eurocurrency Loans are so made
as (or converted into) ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Eurocurrency Loans shall be applied
instead to such ABR Loans.

 

6.05.         
Compensation. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such
Lender through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate
it for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

1)                 
any payment, prepayment or conversion (including, without limitation, an automatic conversion pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof)
of a Eurocurrency Loan, CDOR Loan or BBSY Rate Loan made by such Lender to the Company or any other Borrower on a date other than the
last day of an Interest Period for such Loan;

 

2)                 
any failure by the Company or any other Borrower to borrow a Eurocurrency Loan, a CDOR Loan or a BBSY Loan to be made by such Lender
to the Company or such other Borrower on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing under Section 5.05
hereof;

 

3)                 
any failure by the Company or any other Borrower to prepay a Eurocurrency Loan or, a CDOR Loan or a BBSY Loan on the date specified
in a notice of prepayment; or

 

4)                 
any substitution of a Lender under Section 6.07 hereof on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for each Loan of
such Lender;

 

but excluding, in any event, loss of margin for the period after any
such payment, prepayment or conversion or failure to borrow; provided that such Lender shall have delivered to the Company a certificate
as to the amount of such loss and expense along with the calculation and the basis therefor, in each case in reasonable detail.

 

6.06.          Capital
Adequacy. If any Lender shall determine that any Regulatory Change regarding capital adequacy or liquidity after the Effective
Date, or any change therein after the Effective Date, or any change after the Effective Date in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof,
or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender (a “Lender Parent”)
as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or its Lender Parent) could have achieved but
for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount
deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for
such reduction. A statement of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determination thereof is made
on a reasonable basis; and provided further that the Company shall not be obligated to compensate such Lender for any such
reduction occurring more than 180 days prior to the time such Lender first notifies the Company of such Regulatory Change. In
determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

 

     

    79 

    

 

6.07.         
Mitigation Obligations; Substitution of Lender.

 

(a)               
If any Lender requests compensation under Section 6.01, or requires the Company or any other
Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 5.08, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Company) 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 judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant
to Section 6.01 or 5.08, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense
and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b)               
If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans, CDOR Loans or BBSY Loans
or the right of the Company to convert ABR Loans of any Lender to Eurocurrency Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 6.03, (ii)
any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 6.01, 6.06 or 6.08, or (iii) any Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant
to Section 5.08, the Company shall have the right, with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek a substitute bank or banks
(which may be one or more of the Lenders) satisfactory to Company and the Administrative Agent to assume the Revolving Commitments and
Loans of such Lender. Any such Lender shall be obligated to sell Loans and Revolving Commitments for cash without recourse to such substitute
bank or banks and to execute and deliver an appropriately completed assignment and assumption agreement reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Company and any other document or perform any act reasonably necessary to effect the assumption of the rights
and obligations of such substitute bank or banks.

 

6.08.          Additional
Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers under Section 6.01 hereof (but without
duplication) or Section 3.8 of Annex A hereto, if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or
other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any government or governmental or supervisory authority, there shall be imposed,
modified or deemed applicable any Tax, reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to
or measured by reference to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued hereunder and the result shall be to increase the cost to any
Lender or Lenders of issuing (or purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase
participations in) any Letter of Credit hereunder or reduce any amount receivable by any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter
of Credit (which increases in cost, or reductions in amount receivable, shall be the result of such Lender’s or Lenders’
reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such increases or reductions resulting from such event), then, upon demand by such Lender
or Lenders (through the Administrative Agent), the relevant Borrower shall pay immediately to the Administrative Agent for account
of such Lender or Lenders, from time to time as specified by such Lender or Lenders (through the Administrative Agent), such
additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender or Lenders (through the Administrative Agent) for such increased
costs or reductions in amount. A statement as to such increased costs or reductions in amount incurred by any such Lender or
Lenders, showing calculations and the basis therefor in reasonable detail, submitted by such Lender or Lenders to the relevant
Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error as to the amount thereof.

 

     

    80

or issuance).

 

Section 8  Representations and Warranties.
Each of the Parent and the Company jointly and severally represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, as of the
Closing Date and on the date of each Loan and of the issuance of each Letter of Credit, as follows:

permits and approvals (including any license, authorization, consent, permit and approval required under any Environmental Law) necessary
to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted (except such licenses, authorizations, consents
and approvals the lack of which, in the aggregate, will not have a Material Adverse Effect); and (c) is qualified to do business in all
jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where failure so to qualify would
have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

8.02.

Documents or included herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, when taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement
of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that with respect to any such information, report, financial statement, exhibit
or schedule to the extent that it was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, the Company represents only that it acted in
good faith and utilized assumptions believed by it to be reasonable at the time (it being understood that forecasts and projections are
subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and that no assurances can
be given that such forecasts and projections will be realized).

questions the validity or enforceability of any Basic Document.

 

8.04.         
No Breach; No Default. None of the execution and delivery of the Basic Documents, the consummation of the transactions therein
contemplated or compliance with the terms and provisions thereof will conflict with or result in a breach of, or require any consent under,
the certificate of incorporation, LLC operating agreement or partnership agreements, or by-laws of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries,

permitted by, this Agreement and the Security Documents) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the revenues or
assets of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such agreement or instrument. No Default has occurred and
is continuing.

Action. Each of the Borrowers and the Subsidiary Guarantors has all necessary corporate or limited liability company power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Basic Documents to which it is a party; the execution, delivery
and performance by each of the Borrowers and the Subsidiary Guarantors of the Basic Documents to which they are parties have been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action; and this Agreement has been duly and validly

payments in the ordinary course or except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect).

 

(b)               
Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: each Canadian Pension Plan is in substantial compliance
with all applicable pension benefits and tax laws; no Canadian Pension Plan has any unfunded liabilities (either on a “going concern”
or on a “winding up” basis and determined in accordance with all applicable laws and using assumptions and methods that are
appropriate in the circumstances and in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles and practices in Canada); and all contributions
(including any special payments to amortize any unfunded liabilities) required to be made in accordance with all applicable laws and the

Any financial statement or other document required to be delivered
pursuant to this Section 9.01 may be delivered electronically, and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date

The Parent and the Company each hereby acknowledges that (a) the
Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Parent and/or
the Company hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or
another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public
Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Parent or its
Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing within the meaning of federal and state securities laws
(“MNPI”), and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such
Persons’ securities. The Parent and the Company each hereby agree that (a) all Borrower Materials that are to be made
available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the

 “PUBLIC,” the Parent and the Company shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to
treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI; (c) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be

constitute MNPI.

assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits, or upon any property belonging to it, prior
to the date on which penalties attach thereto, and all lawful claims which, if unpaid, might become a Lien upon the property of the Parent
or such Subsidiary, if such Taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies, or claims, if not paid, could result in a Material Adverse
Effect, provided that neither the Parent nor such Subsidiary shall be required to pay any such Tax, assessment, charge, levy or
claim the payment of which is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings if it maintains adequate reserves with respect thereto.

 

9.03.

Property Insurance -- insurance against loss or damage covering all of the tangible
real and personal property and improvements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, by reason of any Peril (as defined below), in amounts
as shall be reasonable and customary, but in no event less than the functional replacement cost of all such real and personal property

shall mean, collectively, (i) fire, smoke, lightning, flood, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot and civil commotion, vandalism and malicious
mischief and (ii) all other perils covered by the “all-risk” endorsement then in use in the jurisdictions in which the Properties
are located.

conduct of its business, and will conduct its business in a regular manner; provided that nothing herein shall prevent (i)
the merger and dissolution of any Subsidiary of the Company into the Company or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company so long
as the Company or such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary is the surviving corporation (and, if such Subsidiary is not an Excluded Subsidiary
prior to such merger or dissolution, the surviving corporation (if not the Company) is not an Excluded Subsidiary and is a
Subsidiary Guarantor), (ii) the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary of the Company (a “Merging Subsidiary”)
with any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company) provided that (A) such merger or
consolidation is permitted under Section 9.12(vi) hereof and (B) the surviving entity is either (x) a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary duly
organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia (and, if such Merging Subsidiary is not
an Excluded Subsidiary prior to such merger or consolidation, the surviving entity is not an Excluded Subsidiary and is a Subsidiary
Guarantor), or (y) an Excluded Subsidiary (provided that such Merging Subsidiary is an Excluded Subsidiary prior to such
merger), (iii) the dissolution of any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Company, or (iv) the abandonment of any right, privilege or
franchise (including any lease) not material in the aggregate to the business of the Parent and its Subsidiaries.

 

(b)               
The Parent will maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to ensure
compliance by the Parent, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and
applicable Sanctions.

Maintenance of and Access to Properties.

 

1)

working order and condition (having regard to the condition of such properties at the time such properties were acquired by the Parent
or such Subsidiary), ordinary wear and tear excepted, and will permit representatives of the Lenders to inspect such properties and, upon
reasonable notice and at reasonable times, to examine and make extracts and copies from the books and records of the Parent and any such
Subsidiary.

 

2)                 
 The Parent will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect all

for and material to the conduct of the business of the Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

 

9.06.         
Compliance with Applicable Laws. The Parent will comply, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with the requirements
of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental body or regulatory authority (including, without limitation,

faith and by proper proceedings.

 

9.07.         
Litigation. The Company will promptly give to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each Lender) notice
in writing of all litigation and of all proceedings of which it is aware before any courts, arbitrators or governmental or regulatory

9.25.         
Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Parent may at any time after the Closing Date designate any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary or remove an Unrestricted Subsidiary’s designation as such (a “Designation Removal”); provided
that (i) immediately before and after any such designation, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (including
after giving effect to the reclassification of Investments in, Indebtedness of, and Liens on the assets of, the applicable Subsidiary
or Unrestricted Subsidiary) and (ii) the Company shall be in compliance on a pro forma basis with Sections 9.09 through

Subsidiaries; provided, further, that any Unrestricted Subsidiary that is re-designated as a Subsidiary pursuant to a Designation
Removal may not subsequently be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary
shall constitute an Investment by the Parent (or its applicable Subsidiary) therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to
the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such Subsidiary attributable to the Parent’s (or its applicable Subsidiary’s)
equity interests therein as reasonably estimated by the Parent (and such designation shall only be permitted to the extent such Investment
is permitted under Section 9.14). A Designation Removal shall constitute the making, incurrence or granting, as applicable, at the time
of designation of any then-existing Investment, Indebtedness or Lien of such Subsidiary, as applicable; provided that upon any
Designation Removal, the Parent shall be deemed to have received a return on any Investment by the Parent and its Subsidiaries in the
resulting Subsidiary in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such Subsidiary attributable to
the Parent’s equity therein at the time of such re-designation.

THEREUPON: the Administrative Agent may (and, if directed by the Majority

amount then outstanding of and the accrued interest on the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, and commitment fees and all other amounts
payable hereunder to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such amounts shall be and become immediately due and payable, without notice
(including, without limitation, notice of intent to accelerate), presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by each of the Borrowers; provided that in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default
with respect to any Borrower referred to in clause (6) or (7) of this Section 10.01, the Commitments shall be automatically terminated
and the principal amount then outstanding of and the accrued interest on the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, and commitment fees
and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be and become automatically and immediately due and payable, without notice (including,
without limitation, notice of intent to accelerate), presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by each of the Borrowers.

 

In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default (if the Administrative Agent has declared the principal amount then outstanding of, and accrued interest on, the
Loans and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers to be due and payable), the Company agrees that it shall, if requested by the Administrative
Agent or the Majority Lenders through the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Event of Default referred to in clause (6) or
(7) of this Section 10.01 with respect to any Borrower, forthwith, without any demand or the taking of any other action by the Administrative
Agent or such Lenders) provide cover for the Letter of Credit Liabilities by paying to the Administrative Agent immediately available
funds in an amount equal to the then aggregate undrawn stated amount of all Letters of Credit, which funds shall be held by the Administrative
Agent in the Collateral Account as collateral security in the first instance for the Letter of Credit Liabilities.

 

     

    105 

    

 

10.02.     
 Ratable Treatment of Lenders. In the event that the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations shall be declared or become
immediately due and payable on any date (the “Acceleration Date”) pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof, each of the Borrowers
and the Revolving Lenders agree that the outstanding Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and accrued but unpaid interest thereon
not denominated in Dollars shall be automatically converted to Dollars on the Acceleration Date at the then applicable Exchange Rate and
any Reimbursement Obligation not denominated in Dollars thereafter arising shall be automatically converted to Dollars on the date of
the drawing giving rise thereto under the relevant Letter of Credit at the then applicable Exchange Rate. The Revolving Lenders hereby
irrevocably agree for the benefit of each other (and not for the benefit of any of the Borrowers or the other Obligors) that, effective
as of the Acceleration Date, each Revolving Lender shall acquire participations in each then outstanding Revolving Loan and Letter of
Credit Liability in proportion to the aggregate outstanding amount of Revolving Loans of such Revolving Lender plus such Revolving Lender’s
L/C Exposure and Swingline Exposure, to the aggregate outstanding amount of Revolving Loans of all the Revolving Lenders plus all Revolving
Lenders’ L/C Exposure and Swingline Exposure, in each case determined immediately prior to the Acceleration Date (such Revolving
Lender’s “Proportion”). On or promptly following the Acceleration Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine
for each Revolving Lender the difference between (a) such Revolving Lender’s Proportion of the aggregate principal amount of the
outstanding Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations on the Acceleration Date after giving effect to the automatic conversion to
Dollars and (b) the aggregate principal amount of such Revolving Lender’s actual outstanding Revolving Loans and Reimbursement Obligations
on the Acceleration Date after giving effect to the automatic conversions to Dollars. Each Revolving Lender whose difference is positive
shall make a payment which is equal to such difference to the Administrative Agent in Dollars in immediately available funds on a date
set by the Administrative Agent promptly following the Acceleration Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the
Revolving Lenders whose differences are negative, with such distribution to be ratable based upon the respective amounts of such negative
differences. On each subsequent date on which a Reimbursement Obligation arises by virtue of a draw on a Letter of Credit, each Revolving
Lender shall, promptly after being notified thereof, make a payment to the Issuing Bank equal to its Proportion of such Reimbursement
Obligation. To the extent that any Revolving Lender shall fail to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.02 on
the due date therefor, such Revolving Lender shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent for ratable distribution to the Revolving
Lenders or Issuing Bank entitled thereto on such amount from and including such due date to but excluding the date such payment is made
at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate, provided that if such Revolving Lender shall fail to make such payment
within three Business Days of such due date, then, retroactively to the due date, such Revolving Lender shall be obligated to pay interest
on such amount at the Alternate Base Rate.

 

10.03.      Australian
Credit Agreement. Upon and following the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section
10.01(6) or 10.01(7) of the Credit Agreement, or an acceleration of the Loans and/or termination of the Commitments under Section 10
of the Credit Agreement, (i) the Borrowers (other than the Canadian Borrowers) agree that to the extent that the Australian Borrower
makes any payment under the Australian Credit Agreement in respect of principal, interest or fees, the Borrowers will make ratable
payments (in accordance with the CAM Percentage) of principal, interest and fees under the Credit Agreement (other than in respect
of the Secured Obligations under and as defined in the Canadian Borrower Pledge Agreement), provided that no Borrower will be
obligated to make any payment in excess of the unpaid principal, interest and fees owed by it (whether as borrower or guarantor)
under the Credit Agreement; (ii) the Borrowers agree that the Loans and Commitments hereunder shall be deemed accelerated hereunder
in the event that the Loans under the Australian Credit Agreement are accelerated; and (iii) the Parent, the Company and each other
US$ Borrower shall ensure that the terms of the Australian Credit Agreement shall provide that the Australian Credit Agreement shall
be accelerated in the event of an Event of Default under Section 10.01(6) or 10.01(7) of the Credit Agreement, or an acceleration of
the Loans and/or termination of the Commitments under Section 10 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 11  The Administrative Agent; Other
Agents.

 

11.01.     
Appointment Powers and Immunities. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act
as its agent hereunder and under the other Basic Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent (which
term as used in this Section 11 shall include reference to its affiliates and its own and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees
and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Basic Documents,
and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Basic Document be a trustee for any Lender; (b) shall not be responsible to the
Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Basic Document, or in any
certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Basic Document,
or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Basic Document or
any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by any Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors
or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; (c) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation
or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Basic Document except to the extent requested by the Majority Lenders; and (d)
shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Basic Document or any other document
or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence
or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

 

11.02.      Reliance
by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other
communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent
accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement
or any other Basic Document, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
hereunder and thereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Majority Lenders and such instructions of the Majority
Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

 

     

    107 

    

 

11.03.     
Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default (other than a Default
of the type specified in Section 10.01(1)) unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or any Borrower specifying
such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such
a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative
Agent shall (subject to Section 11.07 hereof) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders,
provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in
the best interests of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Lenders a copy of any written declaration made pursuant
to the second to last paragraph of Section 10.01 hereof.

 

11.04.     
Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitments and the Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent in its capacity as
a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
acting as the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates,
include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent in its individual capacity may (without having to
account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business
with the Borrowers and the Subsidiary Guarantors (and their respective Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent,
and the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity may accept fees and other consideration from each of the Borrowers (in addition
to the agency fees and arrangement fees heretofore agreed to between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent) for services in connection
with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

 

11.05.     
Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 12.03
or 12.04 hereof, but without limiting the obligations of the Company and the Parent under said Sections 12.03 and 12.04), ratably in accordance
with the principal amount of their respective Loans and Reimbursement Obligations outstanding, or if no Loans or Reimbursement Obligations
are outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Basic
Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including,
without limitation, the costs and expenses which the Company or the Parent is obligated to pay under Sections 12.03 and 12.04 hereof but
excluding, unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its
agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided, that
no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party
to be indemnified.

 

     

    108 

    

 

11.06.     
 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance
on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis of each of the Borrowers and Subsidiary Guarantors and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any of the other Basic
Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrowers
and the Subsidiary Guarantors of this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents or any other document referred to or provided for
herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of any of the Borrowers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Except for notices,
reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or
the other Basic Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any of the Borrowers or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors
(or any of their affiliates) which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent.

 

11.07.     
Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Basic Documents,
the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall
receive further assurances to its satisfaction by the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 11.05 hereof against
any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

 

11.08.      Resignation
or Removal of Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided
below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company and the
Administrative Agent may be removed at any time that it is a Defaulting Lender by the Majority Lenders. Upon any such resignation or
removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Company
(provided that the Company’s consent shall not be required during the occurrence or continuance of an Event of
Default). Upon any such resignation or removal, the Administrative Agent that resigned or was removed shall, to the extent that its
annual agency fee was paid in advance, pay to the Company an amount equal to such fee multiplied by a fraction the numerator of
which shall be the number of days remaining on the date of such resignation or removal until the next anniversary of the Closing
Date, and the denominator of which shall be 365. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of
resignation or the Majority Lenders’ removal of the Administrative Agent that is a Defaulting Lender (the “Notice
Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent
reasonably acceptable to the Company. Any successor Administrative Agent shall be (i) a Lender or (ii) if no Lender has accepted

(a)               
Subject as provided in the last sentence of this Section 12.05(a) and in Section 6.02(iii),
no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor any consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be agreed or consented to by the Majority Lenders and the Company, and each such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that, subject as provided
in the last sentence of this Section 12.05(a), no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby, (i) extend the Commitment Termination Date (it being understood that any waiver of any prepayment of, or the
method of application of any prepayment to the amortization of, Loans shall not constitute any such extension), or extend the stated maturity
of any Letter of Credit beyond the Commitment Termination Date, or extend the scheduled date of payment of principal of any Term Loan,
or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default
increase in interest rates) or fees (it being agreed that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants
in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)), or reduce the principal amount
thereof, or increase any Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default
or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of a Commitment of a Lender),
(ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 12.05, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12.16, (iv) amend
or modify the definition of “Multi-Currency”, (v) reduce the percentage specified in, or otherwise modify, the definition
of Majority Lenders, (vi) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (provided that nothing herein shall prohibit the Administrative
Agent and/or the Collateral Agent from releasing any Collateral or require the consent of the other Lenders for such release in respect
of items disposed of to the extent such disposition is permitted hereunder), (vii) change the order of any mandatory prepayment provided
for in Section 3.02(b) or (c) hereof without the consent of Term Lenders having more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the

(except as expressly provided in the Subsidiary Guaranty or Section 12.17) or (ix) amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 5.02
or 5.07(a) that would alter the pro-rata sharing of payments thereby; provided that a Defaulting Lender’s vote shall not
be required except that (A) such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment may not be increased or extended without its consent and (B) the
principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on, Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities owed to a Defaulting Lender may not be reduced
or excused or the scheduled date of payment may not be postponed as to such Defaulting Lender without such Defaulting Lender’s consent.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.05 to the contrary, no amendment, waiver or consent shall be made (w) affecting the rights
or duties of any Issuing Bank or Canadian Issuing Bank under this Agreement or any Letter of Credit Document, in each case relating to
Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by it, without the consent of such Issuing Bank or Canadian Issuing Bank, as applicable, (x)
with respect to Section 11 without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (y) with respect to Annex A hereto without the consent of
the Canadian Borrowers or (z) with respect to Section 2.10 hereto without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank.

 

Furthermore,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Company, may amend, modify or supplement any Basic Document
without the consent of any Lender or the Majority Lenders (x) in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect
or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Basic Document or (y) to implement the provisions of Sections 2.01(b),
(c) and (e), Section 2.12 and Section 2.13.

 

     

    112 

    

 

(b)                In
connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”)
requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Majority Lenders to such Proposed Change is
obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose
consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (a) of this Section 12.05 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting
Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Company
may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in
Section 12.06), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations
(which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, each Issuing Bank
and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in payments made by an Issuing Bank pursuant
to a Letter of Credit and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from
the assignee (in the case of such principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrower (in the case of all other
amounts) (upon receipt of such amounts such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its interest pursuant to this
Section), (iii) the Company or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee
specified in Section 12.06(b), (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law and (v) the assignee shall have given its
consent to such Proposed Change and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and
delegations and consents, such Proposed Change can be effected.

 

12.06.     
Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)               
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns except that the Borrowers may not assign their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of all of the Lenders. 

 

(b)               
Each Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(i) with respect to the Term Loans (x) to any other Lender, to any affiliate of a Lender or to any entity (an “Approved Fund”)
(whether a corporation, partnership, trust or otherwise) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank
loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and is administered or managed by a Lender, an affiliate
of such Lender or an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender, or (y) with the consent of the Administrative
Agent and of the Company (provided that the consent of the Company shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred or
is continuing, and provided further that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment to the extent
that it has not indicated otherwise to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days of written notice thereof), to any bank or
financial institution, and (ii) with respect to the Revolving Commitments, (x) with the consent of the Administrative Agent and of the
Issuing Bank and, if applicable, of the Canadian Issuing Bank, to any other Lender, to any affiliate of a Lender or to an Approved Fund,
or (y) with the consent of the Administrative Agent, of the Issuing Bank and, if applicable, of the Canadian Issuing Bank, and of the
Company (provided, that the consent of the Company to any assignment shall not be required if an Event of Default hereunder shall
have occurred and be continuing, and provided further that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment
to the extent that it has not indicated otherwise to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days of written notice thereof), to
any bank or financial institution, which consents (other than the consent of the Administrative Agent to the assignment of any Revolving
Commitment) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being understood that, in the case of the Canadian Issuing Bank, it shall
not be unreasonable to withhold consent in the case of any proposed assignment to any entity or entities rated below BBB+ by Standard
 & Poor’s, a Division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., or other comparable rating by another comparable rating agency), provided
that any such partial assignment shall not, unless the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree (provided that
the consent of the Company shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, and provided further
that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment to the extent that it has not indicated otherwise to the Administrative
Agent within five Business Days of written notice thereof), be less than $5,000,000 (or, in the case of Term Loans, $1,000,000), or if
the remainder of the Lender’s Commitment or Term Loans is less than $5,000,000 or $1,000,000, as applicable, such lesser amount.
Upon execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption substantially in the form of Exhibit N hereto
by the assignor and the assignee together with payment by such assignee to the Administrative Agent of a processing fee of $3,500, such
assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights and benefits as it would have
if it were a Lender hereunder and the assignor shall be, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), released
from its obligations under this Agreement.

 

     

    113 

    

 

(c)                Each
Lender may (without the consent of any other party to this Agreement) sell participations in all or any part of any Loan or Loans or
any Commitment or Commitments made by it to another bank or other entity, in which event the participant shall not have any rights
under this Agreement (except as provided in the next succeeding sentence hereof) (the participant’s rights against such Lender
in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating
thereto, which agreement shall not give the participant the right to consent to any modification, amendment or waiver other than one
described in clause (i), (ii), (vi) or (viii) of Section 12.05 hereof); 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 Banks and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Borrower agrees
that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.08, 6.01, 6.05, 6.06 and 6.08 of this Agreement and Sections
3.8 and 3.9 of Annex A hereto (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections
5.08(f) and (g) of this Agreement (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.08(f) shall be delivered to
the participating Lender and the information and documentation required under Section 5.08(g) will be delivered to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent)) 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 6.07 as if it
were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections
5.08, 6.01, 6.06 and 6.08 of this Agreement and Sections 3.8 and 3.9 of Annex A hereto, 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 Regulatory Change that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a
participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to
effectuate the provisions of Section 6.07(b) with respect to any participant. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.19 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject
to Section 5.07 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender may furnish any information concerning the Parent and its Subsidiaries in
the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants)
which have agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 12.07 hereof or other provisions at least as restrictive as
Section 12.07. The Administrative Agent and the Company may, for all purposes of this Agreement, treat any Lender as the holder of
any Note or C$ Note drawn to its order (and owner of the Loans evidenced thereby) until written notice of assignment, participation
or other transfer shall have been received by them from such Lender. No assignment may be made or participation sold to (x) the Parent
or any of its Subsidiaries except as allowed by Section 2.11 or (y) a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or
trust for, or owned or operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

 

     

    114 

    

 

(d)               
In addition to the assignments and participations permitted in the foregoing provisions of
this Section 12.06, any Lender may (without notice to any of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any other Lender
and without payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Notes (i) to secure obligations of such Lender,
including to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, and (ii) with
respect to any Lender which is a fund, to its trustee or creditors in support of its obligations to its trustee or creditors, and such
Loans and Notes shall be fully transferable as provided therein. No such assignment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall release the
assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder. 

 

(e)               
The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company,
shall maintain at one of its 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 Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and Letter of Credit
Liabilities 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 Company, 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. In addition, each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of the applicable Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal
amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments,
Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) 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 Lender, the applicable
Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms
hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

 

(f)                
Bank of America Merrill Lynch International is a designated Affiliate of Bank of America,
N.A. for the purpose of lending to certain Multi-Currency Borrowers and/or Borrowers not organized in the United States. Any reference
to “Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited” is a reference to its successor in title Bank of America Merrill
Lynch International Designated Activity Company (including, without limitation, its branches) pursuant to and with effect from the merger
between Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited and Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Designated Activity Company
that takes effect in accordance with Chapter II, Title II of Directive (EU) 2017/1132 (which repeals and codifies the Cross-Border Mergers
Directive (2005/56/EC)), as implemented in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Basic Document,
a transfer of rights and obligations from Bank of America Merrill Lynch International Limited to Bank of America Merrill Lynch International
Designated Activity Company pursuant to such merger shall be permitted.

 

     

    115 

    

 

 

 

12.07.     Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees to exercise all reasonable efforts to keep any information delivered or made available
by or on behalf of the Parent to it which has not been publicly disclosed confidential from anyone other than persons employed or retained
by such Lender who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loans; provided
that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing such information (i) to any other Lender, (ii) to the officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys and accountants of such Lender or its affiliates who have a need to know such information in accordance
with customary banking practices and who receive such information having been made aware of the restrictions set forth in this Section,
(iii) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (iv) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having
jurisdiction over such Lender, (v) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Administrative
Agent, any Lender, any Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or their respective affiliates may be a party, (vi) to the extent reasonably
required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (vii) to such Lender’s legal counsel and independent auditors,
(viii) to any actual or proposed participant or assignee of all or part of its rights hereunder which has agreed in writing to be bound
by the provisions of this Section 12.07 or other provisions at least as restrictive as Section 12.07, (ix) to any direct or indirect
contractual or proposed counterparty to any derivatives agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty) which has agreed
in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.07 or other provisions at least as restrictive as Section 12.07 and (x) to
the extent such information becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or
their respective affiliates in breach of this Agreement; provided, that in the case of information received from or on behalf
of the Parent after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required
to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.07 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. For the avoidance of doubt, information relating to this Agreement routinely provided by
arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending interest shall be deemed not to be confidential.

 

12.08.     Survival.
The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 6.01, 6.05, 6.06, 6.08, 12.03 and 12.04 hereof and of the Canadian Borrowers under such
Sections and Section 3.8 of Annex A hereto and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 11.05 shall survive the repayment of the
Loans and the termination of the Commitments.

same instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement, together with

WITH THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER ANY BASIC DOCUMENT OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT. EACH OF THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE

To the extent any Obligor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any
court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of
judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such
Obligor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Agreement and

it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address
of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act.

 

2)            Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation.

 

Each
Obligor acknowledges that, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada), the Criminal Code
(Canada) and the United Nations Act (Canada), including the Regulations Implementing the United Nations Rsolutions on the Suppression
of Terrorism (Canada) and the United Nations Al-Qaida and Taliban Regulations (Canada) promulgated under the United Nations Act (Canada),
and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws, policies,
regulations, or rules (collectively, including any rules, regulations, directives, guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”)
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent may be required to obtain, verify and record information regarding each Obligor, its directors,
authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of each Obligor, and the transactions contemplated
hereby. Each Obligor shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably
requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or any prospective assign or participant of a Lender or the Administrative Agent,
in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence. If the Administrative Agent has ascertained
the identity of any Obligor or any authorized signatories of any Obligor for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then the Administrative
Agent:

 

(a)          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

 

(b)          shall provide to the Lenders, 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 Lender agrees that the Administrative Agent has no obligation
to ascertain the identity of the Obligors or any authorized signatories of the Obligors on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness
or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Obligor or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

 

     

    118 

    

 

12.16.     Additional Borrowers. The Company may designate any Subsidiary of the Parent as a Borrower under the Revolving Commitments;
provided that (a) the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lenders have agreed that such Lenders may make loans and other extensions
of credit to such Subsidiary and in the applicable currency or currencies in such Subsidiary’s jurisdiction in compliance with
applicable laws and regulations, without the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender being required or qualified to do business
in such jurisdiction and without being subject to any unreimbursed or unindemnified Tax or other expense and (b) the Company shall have
delivered to each Lender which requests the same information with respect to such Subsidiary in accordance with Section 12.15. Upon the
receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit O-1 executed by such Subsidiary
and the Company, such Subsidiary shall be a Borrower and a party to this Agreement. A Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrower hereunder
at such time as no Loans, fees or any other amounts due in connection therewith pursuant to the terms hereof shall be outstanding by
such Subsidiary, no Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Subsidiary shall be outstanding and such Subsidiary and the Company
shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination substantially in the form of Exhibit
O-2.

 

12.17.     Releases
of Guaranties and Liens.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Basic Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by
each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 12.05) to take any action
requested by the Parent having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit
consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Basic Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 12.05,
(ii) in accordance with the terms of Section 9.21(c)(V) and (iii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below.

 

(b)          At
such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and the other obligations under the Basic Documents (other than obligations under
or in respect of Hedging Agreements) shall have been paid in full, the Revolving Commitments have been terminated and no Letters of Credit
shall be outstanding, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and
all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Obligor under the
Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

 

12.18.     Amendment
and Restatement. (a) The Obligors, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Administrative Agent, the Multi-Currency Payment Agent,
the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders hereby agree that upon the Closing Date, the terms and provisions of the Existing
Credit Agreement shall be and hereby are amended and restated in their entirety by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation,
paragraph (b) of this Section 12.18), shall be superseded by this Agreement.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding
the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement by this Agreement, the Obligors shall be liable in accordance with
the terms and subject to the limitations set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement to each indemnitee under Section 12.04 of the
Existing Credit Agreement with respect to agreements under the Existing Credit Agreement to indemnify and hold harmless such
indemnitee from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, and damages to which such indemnitee may be subject arising in
connection with the Existing Credit Agreement. This Agreement is given as a substitution of, and not as a payment of, the
obligations of the Obligors under the Existing Credit Agreement and is not intended to constitute a novation of the Existing Credit
Agreement.

 

     

    119 

    

 

(c)          By
execution of this Agreement all parties hereto agree that on and after the Closing Date (i) each relevant Basic Document is hereby amended
such that all references to the Existing Credit Agreement and the Loans and Commitments thereunder shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement
and the continuation of the Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii) all obligations under the Parent Guaranty, the Company Guaranty, the
Subsidiary Guaranty and the Security Documents are reaffirmed and remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis after giving effect
to this Agreement, subject to any applicable limitations and conditions set forth therein, and (iii) all security interests and liens
granted under the Security Documents and the other Basic Documents are reaffirmed and shall continue and secure the obligations hereunder
and thereunder, and the obligations of the Obligors under the Parent Guaranty, the Company Guaranty, the Subsidiary Guaranty and the other
Basic Documents after giving effect to this Agreement and the Parent Guaranty, the Company Guaranty and the Subsidiary Guaranty are reaffirmed
subject to any applicable limitations and conditions set forth therein. After giving effect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby, neither the modification of the Existing Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this amendment and restatement nor the execution,
delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Agreement (i) impairs the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant
to the Basic Documents, and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all obligations purported to
be secured thereby, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred, or (ii) requires that any new filings be made or other actions taken to
perfect or to maintain the perfection of such Lien.

 

12.19.     Right
to Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective
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, Issuing Bank or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or other Obligor against any of and
all the obligations of such Borrower or Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or other Basic Document held by such Lender,
Issuing Bank or Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this
Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender and Issuing Bank and Affiliate under this Section
12.19 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender, Issuing Bank and Affiliate may
have.

 

12.20.     Obligations of Multi-Currency Borrowers. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto
acknowledge that each Multi-Currency Borrower that is an Excluded Subsidiary organized under the laws of Austria has not, by virtue of
its execution of this Agreement, become liable or otherwise obligated for any obligations of the Parent, the Company or any other Obligor
under any Basic Document  (the obligations of such Multi-Currency Borrower under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents being
limited to the unpaid principal amount of any Loan advanced to or for the account of such Multi-Currency Borrower under the Credit Agreement,
and all interest, fees, charges and expenses payable under any Basic Document to the extent attributable or otherwise related to any such
Loan). 

 

     

    120 

    

 

12.21.     Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition
or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

12.22.     Iron
Mountain Luxembourg Services S.à.r.l. The Parent, the Company and Iron Mountain Luxembourg Services S.à.r.l., Luxembourg,
Schaffhausen Branch (the “Branch”) agree, represent and warrant that the Branch is executing and delivering this Agreement
and the other Basic Documents to which it is a party on behalf of, and to bind and join, both itself and Iron Mountain Luxembourg Services
S.à.r.l. on a joint and several basis. The Branch is a branch of, and has authority to act for and bind, Iron Mountain Luxembourg
Services S.à.r.l.

 

12.23.     Acknowledgement
and Consent to Bail-In of EEA 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 EEA Financial
Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA 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 an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may
be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA 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 EEA Financial Institution, its
parent entity, 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 any EEA Resolution Authority.

 

12.24.     Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCs. 

 

To the extent that the Basic Documents
provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements 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 Basic 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):

 

     

    121 

    

 

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 Basic 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 Basic 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.

For purposes of this Section 12.24:

 

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

 

“Covered
Entity” shall mean any of the following:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

“Default
Right” shall have 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”
shall have 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).
