        or more Lenders to be made to the Borrower pursuant to Article 2 on the same date, all of which Loans are of the same type (subject to Article 8) and, except in the case of Base Rate Loans, have the same initial Interest Period.  Borrowings are
        classified for purposes of this Agreement by reference to the pricing of Loans comprising such Borrowing (e.g., a “Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Borrowing” is a Borrowing comprised of Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Loans).

      

      

      Section 1.04. Interest Rates; LIBORBenchmark Notification.  The interest rate on Euro-Dollar Loans is determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate,
            which is derived from the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”).   LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which
            contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market.  On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the
            overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the
            case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored.  There is no assurance that dates announced by
            the FCA will not change or that the administrator  of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further

      action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published.  Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors
            to stay informed of any such developments.  Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBORa Loan denominated in dollars may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform.  Upon the occurrence of a
        Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 8.02(b) and (c) provide theprovides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 8.02(e), of any
            change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Euro-Dollar Loans is based.  However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to,
        the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to LIBOR or other rates
            in the definition of “London Interbank Offered Rate”any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof
            (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 8.02(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of
            any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 8.02(d)),, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics
        of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the London Interbank Offered Rateexisting interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London Interbank Offered Rateany existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.  The Administrative Agent and its
            affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any  interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any
            relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any
            component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including
            direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof)
            provided by any such information source or service.

      

      

      Section 1.05.   Letter of Credit Amounts.  Unless otherwise specified herein, the
        amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the

      amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic
        increases in the available amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn
        at such time.

      

      

      Section 1.06.  Divisions.  For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware
        law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been
        transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity
        Interests at such time.

        forth in this Agreement, to make loans to the Borrower pursuant to this Section from time to time in Dollars in amounts such that (i) such Lender’s Outstanding Committed Amount shall not exceed its Commitment and (ii) the Total Outstanding Amount
        shall not exceed the Total Commitments.  Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section, prepay Revolving Loans to the extent permitted by Section 2.09 and reborrow at any time during the Revolving Credit Period under this
        Section.  Each Borrowing under this Section shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount available in accordance with Section 3.02) and
        shall be made from the several Lenders in respective amounts equal to their respective Applicable Percentages of such Borrowing.

      

      

      Subject to Section 8.02, each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans or Term Benchmark Loans,
          as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect
          the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

      (i)          the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business Day in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing or a Euro-Dollar Business Day in the case of
            a Euro-Dollar Borrowing;

      

      

      (ii)          the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

      (iv)          in the case of a Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark

      Section 2.04.  Notice to Lenders; Funding of Loans.  (a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing,
        the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender participating therein prompt notice of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s share of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by Borrower.

      

      

      (b)          Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of each Borrowing, each Lender participating therein shall make available its share of such Borrowing in Federal or other funds immediately
        available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.02.  Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article 3 has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent
        will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

      

      

      (c)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of

        37

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding
        amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount
        together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, (i) in the case of a payment made by a Lender, at the greater of the NYFRB
        Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment made by the Borrower, at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If such Lender
        shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

      

      

      (d)          The failure of any Lender to make a Loan required to be made by it as part of any Borrowing hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date
        of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of the Borrowing.

      

      

      Section 2.05.  Registry; Notes.  (a) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain

        principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Lender, each Loan made by each Lender and each repayment of any Loan made by each Lender.  Any such recordation by the Administrative Agent on the Register shall be presumptively correct, absent
        manifest error 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. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and
        any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

      (c)          Each Lender shall record the date, amount and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and each Lender receiving a
        Note pursuant to this Section, if such Lender so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of any Note, may record on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each
        such Loan then outstanding; provided that neither the failure of such Lender to make any such recordation nor any error therein shall affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Note.  In

        Rate applicable to such Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof, and at
        maturity.

            RFR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable RFR Margin for such day plus the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate applicable to such Interest Period. Such interest
            shall be payable on each date that is on the numerically corresponding day in each calendar month after the Borrowing of such Loan (or, if there is no such numerically corresponding day in such month, then the last day of such month).

      thereof and of such Lender’s ratable share of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower; provided, however, that a notice
        of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Debt, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower if such
        condition is not satisfied.

      

      

      Section 2.10.  General Provisions as to Payments.  (a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans,
        of Letter of Credit Liabilities and of fees hereunder, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due, in funds immediately available in New York City without set-off or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent at its address
        referred to in Section 9.02.  If a Fed-Wire reference or tracer number has been received, from the Borrower or otherwise, by the Administrative Agent by that time the Borrower will not be penalized for a payment received after 2:00 p.m. (New York
        City time).  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders.  Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the
        Base Rate Loans, RFR Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be
        extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day.  Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-DollarTerm

            Benchmark Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-DollarDomestic Business Day, the date for
        payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-DollarDomestic Business Day unless such Euro-DollarDomestic Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be
        the next preceding Euro-DollarDomestic Business Day.  If the date for any payment of principal is extended by
        operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

      

      

      (b)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full,
        the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date
        an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together
        with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until but excluding the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the NYFRB Rate.

      

      

      
        41

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (c)          If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), Section 2.10(b) or Section 2.16(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and
        notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
        obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under
        any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

      

      

      Section 2.11.  Fees.  (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders ratably a facility fee at the
        Facility Fee Rate (determined daily in accordance with the Pricing Schedule) on the daily aggregate amount of the Credit Exposures.  Such facility fee shall accrue from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date that the Credit
        Exposures are reduced to zero.

      

      

      (b)          The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent (i) for the account of the Lenders ratably a letter of credit fee accruing daily on the aggregate amount available for drawing under all outstanding
        Letters of Credit at the Letter of Credit Fee Rate (determined daily in accordance with the Pricing Schedule) and (ii) for the account of each Issuing Lender a letter of credit fronting fee accruing daily on the aggregate amount available for
        drawing under all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender at a rate per annum mutually agreed (and without need of consent or agreement from any other party) from time to time by the Borrower and such Issuing Lender.

      

      

      (c)          Accrued fees under this Section shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the fifteenth day following each Quarterly Date (in the case of the first such Quarterly Date, for the period from and including
        the Effective Date through such Quarterly Date) and on the date of termination of the Commitments in their entirety (and, if later, the date the Credit Exposures are reduced to zero).

      

      

      Section 2.12.  Reduction or Termination of Commitments.  During the Revolving Credit Period, the Borrower may, upon at least three
        Domestic Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) terminate the Commitments at any time, if the Total Outstanding Amount is equal to zero at such time or (ii) ratably reduce from time to time by an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or a
        larger multiple of $1,000,000, the aggregate amount of the Commitments in excess of the Total Outstanding Amount at such time.

      

      

      Section 2.13.  Method of Electing Interest Rates.  (a) The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of
        rate specified by the

      

      

      
        42

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.  Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the provisions of Article 8 and the last
        sentence of this subsection(a)), as follows:

      

      

      (i)          if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Loans or, to the extent available pursuant to Section 8.02, RFR Loans as of any Euro-DollarDomestic Business Day and;

      

      

      (ii)          if such Loans are Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Loans,
        the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue such Loans as Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark
        Loans for an additional Interest Period, subject to Section 2.14 in the case of any such conversion or continuation effective on any day other than the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans. and

      

      

      (iii)          if pursuant to Section 8.02, such Loans
            are RFR Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans as of any Domestic Business Day.

      

      

      Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon. (New York City time) on the
        third Euro-DollarDomestic Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be
        effective.  A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated
        ratably among the Loans comprising such Group of Loans and (ii) the portion to which such notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000.  If no such notice is timely
        received prior to the end of an Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that all Loans having such Interest Period be converted to Base Rate Loans at the end of such Interest Period.

      

      

      (b)          Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

      

      

      (i)          the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

      

      

      (ii)          the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of subsection (a) above;

      

      

      (iii)          if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new type of Loans and, if the Loans being converted are to be Euro-

      

      

      
        43

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      DollarTerm Benchmark Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period
        applicable thereto; and

      

      

      (iv)          if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark
        Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

      

      

      Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

      

      

      (c)          Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of the contents thereof and such
        notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

      

      

      (d)          An election by the Borrower to change or continue the rate of interest applicable to any Group of Loans pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a “Borrowing” subject to the provisions of Section
        3.02.

      

      

      Section 2.14.  Funding Losses.  If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Loan or any Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark
        Loan is converted (pursuant to Article 2, 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or the last day of an applicable period fixed pursuant to Section

            2.07(c), or if the Borrower fails to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark
        Loans after notice has been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.04(a), 2.09 or 2.13 the Borrower shall reimburse each  affected Lender within 30 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it, including (without
        limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to borrow, prepay, convert or continue, provided that such Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

      

      

      Section 2.15.  Computation of Interest and Fees.  The facility fee paid pursuant to Section 2.11 and interest based on the Prime Rate
        hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  All other interest and fees shall be computed on the
        basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

      

      

      Section 2.16.  Letters of Credit.

      

      

      
        44

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (a)          Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time before
        the Letter of Credit Termination Date upon the request of the Borrower; provided that Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch shall not be obligated to issue Letters of Credit other than standby letters of credit
        in Dollars; provided further that, immediately after each Letter of Credit is issued (i) the Total Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the Total Commitments, (ii) unless
          otherwise agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender, the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities attributable to Letters of Credit issued by the applicable Issuing Lender at such time shall not exceed such Issuing Lender’s Letter of Credit
          Commitment and (iii) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.  Upon the date of issuance by an Issuing Lender of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall be
        deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit and
        the related Letter of Credit Liabilities in the proportion of its Applicable Percentage.

      

      

      (b)          Method for Issuance; Terms; Extensions.

      

      

      (i)          The Borrower shall give the applicable Issuing Lender notice at least three Domestic Business Days (or such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Issuing Lender in its discretion)
        prior to the requested issuance of a Letter of Credit (or, in the case of extension, prior to the applicable Issuing Lender’s deadline for notice of nonextension) specifying the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued, and describing the terms
        of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions to be supported thereby (such notice, including any such notice given in connection with the extension of a Letter of Credit, a “Notice of Issuance”). 

        Upon receipt of a Notice of Issuance, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s
        participation in such Letter of Credit.  Unless the applicable Issuing Lender has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one Domestic Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or
        amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 3.02 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the applicable Issuing Lender shall, on the requested
        date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the applicable Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices.

      

      

      
        45

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (ii)          The obligation of the applicable Issuing Lender to issue each Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article 3, be subject to the conditions
        precedent that such Letter of Credit shall be in such form and contain such terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender and that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such other customary instruments and
        agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as the applicable Issuing Lender shall have reasonably requested; provided, however, that each Issuing Lender agrees that in the event of any inconsistency
        between such instruments and agreements and this Agreement the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.  The Borrower shall also pay to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account issuance, drawing, amendment, settlement and extension
        charges, if any, in the amounts and at the times as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Lender.

      

      

      (iii)          The extension of any Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be an issuance of such Letter of Credit, and if any Letter of Credit contains a provision pursuant to which it is deemed to be
        extended unless notice of termination is given by the applicable Issuing Lender, such Issuing Lender shall timely give such notice of termination unless it has theretofore timely received a Notice of Issuance and the other conditions to issuance of
        a Letter of Credit have also theretofore been met with respect to such extension.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit if:  (i)
        any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing, amending or extending the Letter of Credit, or any law, rule, regulation or treaty applicable to such
        Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance, amendment
        or extension of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular, (ii) any Change in Law shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such
        Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date or (iii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.  Each
        Letter of Credit shall expire at or before the close of business on the date that is one year after such Letter of Credit is issued (or, in the case of any extension thereof, one year after such extension); provided
        that (i) a Letter of Credit may contain a provision pursuant to which it is deemed to be extended on an annual basis unless notice of termination is given by the applicable Issuing Lender and (ii) in no event will a Letter of Credit other

      

      

      
        46

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      than the Johnson County Letter of Credit expire (including pursuant to an extension thereof) on a date later than the Letter of Credit Termination Date; provided that the
        Borrower shall Cash Collateralize its obligations with respect to the Johnson County Letter of Credit not later than the Termination Date.  Upon and subject to the posting of such Cash Collateral, the obligations of the Lenders in respect of the
        Johnson County Letter of Credit shall terminate, and fees in respect thereof shall be payable solely for the account of the Issuing Lenders.

      

      

      (c)          Payments; Reimbursement Obligations.

      

      

      (i)          Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative
        Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender as to the amount to be paid as a result of such demand or drawing and the date such payment is to be made by the applicable Issuing Lender (the “Payment Date”).  The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any amounts paid by such Issuing Lender upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit,
        without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind.  Such Reimbursement Obligation shall be due on the Payment Date; provided that no such payment shall be due from the Borrower any
        earlier than the date of receipt by it of notice of its obligation to make such payment (or, if such notice is received by the Borrower after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any date, on the next succeeding Domestic Business Day); and provided further that if and to the extent any such Reimbursement Obligation is not paid by the Borrower in accordance with this clause (i) or clause (ii) below on the Payment Date, then (irrespective of when
        notice thereof is received by the Borrower), such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the Payment Date to but not including the date such Reimbursement Obligation is paid in full or
        converted to Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause (ii) below, at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day.

      

      

      (ii)          If the Commitments remain in effect on the Payment Date, such Reimbursement Obligation shall, if and to the extent that the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation would be permitted as
        a Borrowing of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 3.02, and unless the Borrower otherwise instructs the Administrative Agent by not later than 11:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the Payment Date, convert automatically to Base Rate Loans on the
        Payment Date.  The Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the

      

      

      
        47

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      Administrative Agent so to act on its behalf), give notice no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such date requesting each Lender to make, and each Lender hereby agrees to make, a Base Rate Loan, in an
        amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligation with respect to which such notice relates.  Each Lender shall make such Loan available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.02 in
        immediately available funds, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the date specified in such notice.  The Administrative Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Loans to the applicable Issuing Lender, which shall immediately apply such
        proceeds to repay the Reimbursement Obligation.

      

      

      (iii)          To the extent a Reimbursement Obligation is not refunded by a Lender pursuant to clause (ii) above, such Lender will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable
        Issuing Lender, immediately upon such Issuing Lender’s demand at any time during the period commencing after such Reimbursement Obligation arises until reimbursement therefor in full by the Borrower, an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable
        Percentage of such Reimbursement Obligation, together with interest on such amounts for each day from the date of the Issuing Lender’s demand for such payment (or, if such demand is made after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, from the
        next succeeding Domestic Business Day) to the date of payment by such Lender of such amount at a rate of interest per annum equal to the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
        rules on interbank compensation.  The applicable Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender ratably all amounts received from the Borrower for application in payment of its Reimbursement Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit, but only to the
        extent such Lender has made payment to such Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit pursuant hereto; provided that in the event such payment received by such Issuing Lender is required to be
        returned, such Lender will return to such Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by such Issuing Lender.

      

      

      (d)          Obligations Absolute.  The obligations of the Borrower and each Lender under subsection (c) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be
        performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation the following circumstances:

      

      

      (i)          any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto;

      

      

      
        48

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (ii)          the use which may be made of the Letter of Credit by, or any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary may be acting);

      

      

      (iii)          the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other rights that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary
        may be acting), any Lender (including the Issuing Lender) or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;

      

      

      (iv)          any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in
        any respect whatsoever;

      

      

      (v)          payment under a Letter of Credit against presentation to the Issuing Lender of documents that do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

      

      

      (vi)          any termination of the Commitments prior to, on or after the Payment Date for any Letter of Credit, whether at the scheduled termination thereof, by operation of Section 6.01 or
        otherwise; or

      

      

      (vii)          any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Lender (including the Issuing Lender), the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance
        whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this subsection (d), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to the Borrower’s or the Lender’s obligations hereunder;

      

      

      provided, that this Section 2.16(d) shall not limit the rights of the Borrower under Section 2.16(e)(ii). Each Issuing Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the
        Administrative Agent in Article 7 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in
        Article 7 included such Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuing Lender.

      

      

      (e)          Indemnification; Expenses.

      

      

      (i)          The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless each Lender (including each Issuing Lender) and the Administrative Agent from and against any and all claims, damages, losses,
        liabilities, costs or

      

      

      
        49

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      expenses which it may reasonably incur in connection with a Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.16; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify
        any Lender (including the Issuing Lender) or the Administrative Agent, for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (i) to the extent such indemnification relates to relationships between or among each of, or any of, the Lenders
        (including each Issuing Lender), the Administrative Agent or any Assignee or Participant and does not involve any act or omission by the Borrower or (ii) to the extent found by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment
        to have been caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or the bad faith breach by such Person of any of its material obligations hereunder.

      

      

      (ii)          None of the Lenders (including, subject to the proviso below, an Issuing Lender) nor the Administrative Agent nor any of their officers or directors or employees or agents shall be
        liable or responsible, by reason of or in connection with the execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Letter of Credit, including without limitation any of the circumstances enumerated in subsection (d) above; provided that, notwithstanding Section 2.16(d), the Borrower shall have a claim for direct (but not consequential) damage suffered by it, to the extent finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by
        final and nonappealable judgment to have been caused by (x) the applicable Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit complied with the terms of such Letter of
        Credit or (y) the applicable Issuing Lender’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit.  The parties agree that, with respect to
        documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender may, in its 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.

      

      

      (iii)          Nothing in this subsection (e) is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.  To the extent the Borrower does not indemnify an
        Issuing Lender as required by this subsection, the Lenders agree to do so ratably in accordance with their Applicable Percentages.

      

      

      
        50

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (f)          Stop Issuance Notice. If the Required Lenders reasonably determine at any time that the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 would not be satisfied in respect of
        a Borrowing at such time, then the Required Lenders may request that the Administrative Agent issue a “Stop Issuance Notice”, and the Administrative Agent shall issue such notice to each Issuing Lender.  Such
        Stop Issuance Notice shall be promptly withdrawn upon a determination by the Required Lenders that the circumstances giving rise thereto no longer exist.  No Letter of Credit shall be issued while a Stop Issuance Notice is in effect.  The Required
        Lenders may request issuance of a Stop Issuance Notice only if there is a reasonable basis therefor, and shall consider reasonably and in good faith a request from the Borrower for withdrawal of the same on the basis that the conditions in Section
        3.02 are satisfied, provided that the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders may and shall conclusively rely upon any Stop Issuance Notice while it remains in effect.

      

      

      (g)          Additional Issuing Lenders.  From time to time, the Borrower may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
        or delayed) and by notice to the Lenders, designate as additional Issuing Lenders one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below.  The acceptance by a Lender of any appointment as an Issuing Lender hereunder shall be
        evidenced by an instrument, which shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, such Lender and the Administrative Agent, shall set forth the Letter of Credit Commitment of such Lender and shall be executed by such Lender, the
        Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing
        Lender” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an Issuing Lender.

      

      

      (h)          Resignation. Each Issuing Lender may, if such Issuing Lender assigns all of its Commitments and Loans or otherwise ceases to be a Lender, resign by giving 30
        days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.  After the resignation of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the retiring Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing
        Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend or increase any existing Letter of
        Credit.

      

      

      Section 2.17.  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:

      

      

      
        51

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (a)          Fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment (if any) of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a).

      

      

      (b)          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 or otherwise) or
        received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:  first, to the
        payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender
        hereunder; third, to cash collateralize Letter of Credit Liabilities with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section; fourth, as the Borrower
        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 Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations
        with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize future Letter of Credit Liabilities with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section;
        sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Lenders against such
        Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
        Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan
        Document; 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 disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit 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 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such
        payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and disbursements in respect of Letters of Credit owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or disbursements in respect of
        Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities are held by the Lenders pro
        rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (d) below.  Any

      

      

      
        52

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

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

      

      

      (c)          The Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver
        or other modification pursuant to Section 9.07); it being understood that this clause (b) shall not affect the rights of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification under Section 9.07(a)(i), Section 9.07(a)(ii) or
        Section 9.07(a)(iii).

      

      

      (d)          If any Letter of Credit Liabilities exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

      

      

      (i)          all or a portion of the Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable
        Percentages, but only to the extent that the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Outstanding Committed Amounts plus such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

      

      

      (ii)          if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within one Domestic Business Day following notice by the Administrative
        Agent, Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above)
        until the earlier of the first date upon which (A) such Letter of Credit Liabilities shall no longer be outstanding, (B) such Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether pursuant to this Section 2.17 or Section 9.01 hereof),
        and (C) such Defaulting Lender shall provide Cash Collateral in respect of such Letter of Credit Liabilities.  Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in subclauses (A) – (C) above, or upon any partial reduction of such Letter of Credit
        Liabilities, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to the Borrower any Cash Collateral provided by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit Liabilities (or, following any partial reduction of such Letter of Credit Liabilities, such
        ratable portion thereof), together with any interest accrued thereon;

      

      

      (iii)          the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a) or Section 2.11(b) with

      

      

      
        53

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities unless, and solely to the extent, that such Defaulting Lender has provided Cash Collateral in respect of such Letter of Credit Liabilities;

      

      

      (iv)          if all or any portion of the Letter of Credit Liabilities of any  Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the letter of credit fees payable to each
        Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) shall be adjusted to include amounts owing in respect of the Letter of Credit Liabilities so reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender; and

      

      

      (v)          if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized by the Borrower and/or such Defaulting Lender pursuant to
        clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Lender or any other party hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion
        of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such Letter of Credit Liabilities) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Liabilities that have not been so
        reallocated or Cash Collateralized shall be payable to the Issuing Lenders until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Liabilities are so reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release
        of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such
        reallocation.

      

      

      (e)          So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and such Defaulting
        Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateralized by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.17(d), and participating interests in any newly
        issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.17(d)(i)(and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

      

      

      (f)          If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Issuing Lender 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, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the
        Issuing Lenders shall have

      

      

      
        54

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to each Issuing Lender, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

      

      

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

      

      

      Section 2.18.  Optional Increase in Commitments. Following the Effective Date, the Borrower may,
        if it so elects, increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments, either by designating a financial institution not theretofore a Lender (a “New Lender”) to become a Lender (such designation to be effective
        only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender, which consents will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), or by agreeing with an existing Lender that such Lender’s Commitment shall be increased.  Upon
        execution and delivery by the Borrower and such Lender or New Lender of an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, together with such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with
        respect to the increased Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to the increased Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, such existing Lender shall have a Commitment as therein set forth or
        such other financial institution shall become a Lender with a Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Lender with such a Commitment hereunder; provided:

      

      

      (i)          that the Borrower shall provide prompt notice of such increase to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify the Lenders;

      

      

      (ii)          the conditions set forth in Sections 3.02(c) and (d) shall be satisfied on and as of the effective date of any increase in Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18;

      

      

      
        55

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (iii)          that any such increase shall be in an amount which is a multiple of $10,000,000; and

      

      

      (iv)          that immediately after such increase is made, the aggregate amount of increases in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall not exceed $250,000,000.

      

      

      On the effective date of any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.18, (i) each New Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to its pro rata share of the
        aggregate outstanding Loans (and funded participations, if any, in Letters of Credit) and (ii) any Lender whose Commitment has been increased (an “Increasing Lender”) shall pay to the Administrative Agent an
        amount equal to the increase in its pro rata share of the aggregate outstanding Loans (and funded participations as above); in each case such payments shall be for the account of each other Lender.  Upon receipt of such amount by the Administrative
        Agent, (A) each other Lender shall be deemed to have ratably assigned that portion of its outstanding Loans that is being reduced to the New Lenders and the Increasing Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s new Commitment or the increased portion
        thereof as applicable, (B) the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each other Lender its ratable share of the amounts received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph and (C) the participations of the Lenders in
        outstanding Letters of Credit shall be determined in accordance with their Commitments after giving effect to such increase.  For the avoidance of doubt, no existing Lender shall have any obligation to participate in such increase except in its
        absolute and sole discretion.

      (a)          the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof signed by each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received,
        receipt by the Administrative Agent in form satisfactory to it of facsimile or other electronic transmission or other written confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by such party);

        Agreement and any Notes, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

      

      

      (d)          the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that all fees and invoiced expenses due and payable by the Borrower on or prior to the Effective

        the Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to the Borrower; and

      

      

      (f)          the conditions set forth in paragraphs (c) and (d) of Section 3.02 shall be satisfied on and as of the Effective Date.

      

      

      The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Effective Date, and such notice shall be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.  The Lenders that are parties to the Existing
        Credit Facility, constituting the “Required Lenders” under the Existing Credit Facility, and the Borrower agree that (i) the commitments under the Existing Credit Facility shall terminate automatically on
        the Effective Date without need for further action by any party to the Existing Credit Facility and (ii) all requirements of notice for any prepayment under the Existing Credit Agreement necessary to satisfy the conditions stated in Section 3.01(d)
        or the termination of commitments pursuant to clause (i) above are hereby waived.

      

      

      Section 3.02.  Borrowings and Issuances of Letters of Credit.  The obligation of any Lender to make a Loan and the obligation of any
        Issuing Lender to issue (or renew or extend the term of) any Letter of Credit are each subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

      

      

      
        57

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (a)          receipt (or deemed receipt pursuant to Section 2.16(b)(iii)) by the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing as required by Section 2.02 or receipt by the applicable Issuing Lender of a Notice of
        Issuance as required by Section 2.16, as the case may be;

      

      

      (b)          in the case of a Borrowing or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the fact that, immediately after such Borrowing or issuance of such Letter of Credit (i) the Total Outstanding Amount will not exceed the
        Total Commitments and (ii) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities will not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit;

      

      

      (c)          the fact that, immediately before and after such Borrowing or issuance of such Letter of Credit, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

      

      

      (d)          the fact that, except as otherwise described by the Borrower in a writing to the Administrative Agent and waived by the Required Lenders, the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in
        this Agreement (except, in the case of any Borrowing or issuance subsequent to the Effective Date, the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.04(c), 4.05, 4.06, 4.08, 4.13 and 4.14) shall be true in all material respects on and as
        of the date of such Borrowing or issuance, except to the extent (i) they expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true in all material respects as of such earlier date or (ii) any representation or warranty is qualified by
        or subject to a “material adverse effect”, “material adverse change” or similar term or qualification, in which case the same shall be true and correct in all respects.

      

      

      Each Borrowing and issuance (including a deemed issuance through renewal or extension) of a Letter of Credit hereunder shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower on the date of such Borrowing or issuance as to the facts
        specified in clauses 3.02(c) and 3.02(d).

      

      

      

      

      ARTICLE 4

      Representations and Warranties

      

      

      The Borrower represents and warrants that:

      

      

      Section 4.01.  Corporate Existence and Power.  Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized and
        validly existing under the laws of the state of its incorporation, is in good standing therein, and is duly qualified to transact business in all jurisdictions where such qualification is necessary, except for such jurisdictions where the failure
        to be so qualified or licensed will not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; the Borrower has corporate power to enter into and perform this Agreement; and the

      Borrower has the corporate power to borrow and issue Notes as contemplated by this Agreement.

        likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      

      

      Section 4.03.  Binding Effect.  This Agreement and any Notes constitute valid and binding agreements of the Borrower enforceable against

      (c)          Since December 31, 2020, there has been no change in the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse

        yet delinquent, (ii) those the nonpayment of which, individually and in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or (iii) those being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate

      Section 4.07.  Margin Regulations.  No part of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will be used in a manner which would violate,

        applicable laws, rules and regulations, other than such laws, rules and regulations (i) the validity or applicability or which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is contesting in good faith or (ii) the failure to comply with which would not be

        rights of any other unsecured creditors of the Borrower (except to the extent provided by bankruptcy, reorganization,

      

      

      
        60

        the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any material respect on and as of the date hereof (as modified or supplemented by other information that has been or is simultaneously so furnished); provided
        that, with respect to projected financial information (including financial estimates, forecasts and other forward-looking information), the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to
        be reasonable at the time (it being understood that such forecasts and projections may vary from actual results and that such variances may be material); and provided, further,
        that for purposes of this Section 4.12, such information shall not include information of a general economic or general industry nature.

        Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and is in substantial compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable material provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan.  No member of the ERISA
        Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or made any amendment to any Plan
        which, in either case, has resulted or could result in the imposition of a material Lien or the posting of a material bond or other material security under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code or (iii) incurred any material liability under Title IV
        of ERISA other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA.

      

      

      Section 4.14.  Environmental Matters.  The Financial Statements described in Section 4.04(a) provide certain information regarding
        environmental matters related to properties currently owned by the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, previously owned properties, and other properties.  Since December 31, 2020, environmental matters have not caused any material adverse
        change in

      

      

      
        61

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries from that shown by such Financial Statements.

      

      

      To the knowledge of the Borrower, ongoing operations at the Principal Properties are currently being conducted in substantial compliance with applicable Environmental Laws except to the extent that noncompliance would
        not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      

      

      Section 4.15.  Regulatory Restrictions on Borrowing.  The Borrower is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment
        Company Act of 1940, as amended, or otherwise subject to any regulatory scheme which restricts its ability to incur debt.

      

      

      Section 4.16.  Legal Status.  The Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors and officers and, to the knowledge of the
        Borrower, employees and agents are in compliance with applicable Sanctions in all material respects.  None of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, or their respective directors or officers or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, employees or agents is a
        Sanctioned Person.

      

      

      The Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, their respective employees and agents, are in compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, 15
        U.S.C. §§ 78dd-1, et seq., as amended from time to time, and other anti-corruption laws in effect in jurisdictions in which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do business (collectively, “Anti-Corruption Laws”). 

        The Borrower has not made a payment, offering, or promise to pay, or authorized the payment of, money or anything of value (i) in order to assist in obtaining or retaining business for or with, or directing business to, any foreign official,
        foreign political party, party official or candidate for foreign political office, (ii) to a foreign official, foreign political party or party official or any candidate for foreign political office, or (iii) with the intent to induce the recipient
        to misuse his or her official position to direct business wrongfully to the Borrower in violation of Anti-Corruption Laws.

      

      

      The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have implemented and maintain in effect policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers,
        employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions.

        Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries for the period from the beginning of such fiscal year to the end of such fiscal period and the related consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries as at the end of such
        fiscal period, all in reasonable detail (it being understood that delivery of such statements as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this subsection) and accompanied by a certificate in
        the form attached hereto as Exhibit F signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower stating that such consolidated financial statements fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and results of operations
        of the Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the end of such period and for the period involved, subject, however, to year-end audit adjustments, and that such officer has no knowledge, except as specifically stated, of any Default;

      

      

      (b)          as soon as available and in any event within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows of the Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries for such year

        standing selected by the Borrower as to such consolidated financial statements (it being understood that delivery of such statements as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this
        subsection), and (ii) a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower stating that such consolidated financial statements fairly present in all material respects the consolidated
        financial condition and results of operations of the Borrower and the Consolidated Subsidiaries as of the end of such year and for the year involved and that such officer has no knowledge, except as specifically stated, of any Default;

      

      

      (c)          promptly after their becoming available:

      

      

      
        63

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (i)          copies of all financial statements, stockholder reports and proxy statements that the Borrower shall have sent to its stockholders generally; and

      

      

      (ii)          copies of all registration statements filed by the Borrower under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (other than registration statements on Form S-8 or any registration statement
        filed in connection with a dividend reinvestment plan), and regular and periodic reports, if any, which the Borrower shall have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any governmental agency or agencies substituted therefor) under
        Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or with any national or international securities exchange (other than those on Form 11-K or any successor form) (it being understood that delivery of such statements and reports, or those referenced
        in the immediately preceding sub-clause (i), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this subsection);

      

      

      (d)          from time to time, with reasonable promptness, such further information regarding the business and financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as any Lender may reasonably request through
        the Administrative Agent;

      

      

      (e)          prompt notice of the occurrence of any Default; and

      

      

      (f)          prompt notice of all litigation and of all proceedings before any governmental or regulatory agency pending (or, to the knowledge of the General Counsel of the Borrower, threatened) and affecting the
        Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, except litigation or proceedings which, if adversely determined, would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      

      

      Each set of financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b) shall be accompanied by or include the computations showing, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, whether the Borrower was,
        at the end of the relevant fiscal period, in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.09.

      

      

      Section 5.02.  Payment of Obligations.  The Borrower will pay and discharge, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to pay and
        discharge, all material Taxes 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 material claims which, if unpaid, might become a Lien upon the
        property of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary; provided that neither the Borrower nor any such Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to pay any such Tax or claim (i) the payment of which is being
        contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP, (ii) not yet delinquent or (iii) the non-payment of which, individually

      

      

      
        64

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

      

      

      Section 5.03.  Insurance.  The Borrower will maintain, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to maintain, insurance from responsible
        companies in such amounts and against such risks as is reasonable, taking into consideration the practices of businesses in the same line of business or of similar size as the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, or, to a reasonable extent,
        self-insurance.

      

      

      Section 5.04.  Maintenance of Existence.  The Borrower (i) will preserve and maintain, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to
        preserve and maintain, its corporate existence and (ii) will take all reasonable action to preserve and maintain all of its rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business, except to the extent that
        failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prevent the termination
        of the business or corporate existence of any Restricted Subsidiary which in the judgment of the Borrower is no longer necessary or desirable, a merger or consolidation of a Restricted Subsidiary into or with the Borrower (if the Borrower is the
        surviving corporation) or another Subsidiary or any other merger, consolidation or transfer of assets that is not prohibited by Section 5.07, as long as immediately after giving effect to any such transaction, no Event of Default shall have
        occurred and be continuing.

      

      

      Section 5.05.  Maintenance of Properties.  The Borrower will keep, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to keep, all of its tangible
        properties necessary, in the judgment of the Borrower, in its business in good working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear, and damage caused by casualty, excepted), except to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be
        expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Nothing in this Section 5.05 shall prevent the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation or maintenance, or both the operation and maintenance, of any properties of the
        Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Borrower (or such Restricted Subsidiary), desirable in the conduct of its business.

      

      

      Section 5.06.  Compliance with Laws.  The Borrower will comply, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to comply, with the requirements
        of all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and orders of any Governmental Authority (including Environmental Laws, ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the rules and regulations thereunder), a breach of which would be reasonably likely to have
        a Material Adverse Effect, except where contested in good faith and by proper proceedings.

      

      

      
        65

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

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

      

      

      Section 5.07.  Mergers, Consolidations and Sales of Assets.  (a) The Borrower will not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or
        convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless:

      

      

      (i)          the Borrower or a Consolidated Subsidiary that is incorporated under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia is the surviving corporation of any such
        consolidation or merger or is the Person that acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of the Borrower substantially as an entirety;

      

      

      (ii)          if a Consolidated Subsidiary is the surviving corporation or is the Person that acquires the property and assets of the Borrower substantially as an entirety, it shall expressly assume
        the performance of every covenant of this Agreement and of the Notes on the part of the Borrower to be performed or observed;

      

      

      (iii)          immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

      

      

      (iv)          if the Borrower is not the surviving entity, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate and a legal opinion of its General Counsel, Associate
        General Counsel or Assistant General Counsel, upon the express instruction of the Borrower for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, each stating that such transaction complies with this Section and that all conditions precedent
        herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

      

      

      (b)          Upon any consolidation by the Borrower with, or merger by the Borrower into, a Consolidated Subsidiary, the result of which is that such Consolidated Subsidiary is the surviving entity, or any conveyance
        or transfer of the properties and assets of the Borrower substantially as an entirety to a Consolidated Subsidiary, the Consolidated Subsidiary into which the Borrower is merged or consolidated or to which such conveyance or transfer is made shall
        succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Borrower, as the case may be, under this Agreement with the same effect as if such Consolidated Subsidiary had been named as the Borrower, as the case may be,
        herein, and thereafter, in the case of a transfer or conveyance permitted by 

      

      

      
        66

      (d)          any Lien on any asset securing Debt incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing all or any part of the cost of acquiring such asset (and/or, in the case of the acquisition of a business, any Lien on
        the equity and/or assets of the acquired entity), provided that such Lien attaches to such asset concurrently with or within 180 days after the acquisition thereof;

      (j)          carriers’, warehousemen’s, mechanics’, materialmen’s, suppliers’ or other similar Liens, in each case arising in the ordinary course of business

        other obligations of a like nature incurred in the ordinary course of business;

      

      

      (p)          Liens solely on any cash earnest money deposits made by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any letter of intent or purchase agreement;

      

      

      (q)          Liens securing judgments for the payment of money not constituting an Event of Default under Section 6.01(j) or securing appeal bonds in respect of appeals being prosecuted in good faith;

      

      

      (r)          pledges and deposits in the ordinary course of business in connection with workers’ compensation, unemployment insurance and other social security or retirement benefits legislation or similar law or
        regulations;

      

      

      (s)          Liens arising out of a conditional sale, title retention, consignment or similar arrangement for the sale of goods entered into by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary
        course of business;

      

      

      (t)          Liens that are contractual rights of set-off (i) relating to the establishment of depositary relations with banks or other financial institutions not

      

      

      
        68

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      given in connection with the issuance of Debt, (ii) relating to pooled deposit or sweep accounts of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to permit satisfaction of overdraft or similar obligations incurred in the ordinary course of
        business of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (iii) relating to agreements other than in connection with Debt or Derivatives Obligations entered into by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

      

      

      (u)          Liens in favor of customs and revenue authorities arising as a matter of law to secure payment of customs duties in connection with the importation of goods in the ordinary course of business;

      

      

      (v)          Liens on cash and cash equivalents securing Derivatives Obligations, provided that the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents subject to such Liens may at
        no time exceed $100,000,000;

      

      

      (w)          Liens securing Debt equally and ratably securing the Loans and such Debt; provided that the Required Lenders may, in their sole discretion, refuse to take any
        Lien on any asset (which refusal will not limit the Borrower’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s ability to incur a Lien otherwise permitted by this Section 5.08(w)); such Lien may equally and ratably secure the Loans and any other obligation of the
        Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than an obligation that is subordinated to the Loans;

      

      

      (x)          Liens securing contingent obligations in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50,000,000; and

            assets securing obligations under the Borrower’s Securitization Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000,000.

      

      

      For the avoidance of doubt, the creation of a security interest arising solely as a result of, or the filing of UCC financing statements in connection with, any sale by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of
        accounts receivable not prohibited by Section 5.07 shall not constitute a Lien prohibited by this covenant.

      

      

      Section 5.09.  Leverage Ratio.  The Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 3.50 to 1.00 as of the last day of any fiscal quarter; provided that if (i) Consolidated Debt has increased in connection with a Specified Acquisition that has been consummated within such fiscal quarter or the three fiscal quarters immediately prior to such fiscal
        quarter and (ii) the Borrower has stated in the compliance

      

      

      
        69

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) for such fiscal quarter that the condition set forth in clause (i) above has been satisfied (and specifying the date of such Specified Acquisition), then the Borrower shall be permitted to elect
        that any additional Consolidated Debt incurred in connection with such Specified Acquisition shall be excluded from Consolidated Debt for purposes of calculating the Leverage Ratio, but only if the Leverage Ratio determined at such time but
        calculated without giving effect to such exclusion does not exceed 4.00 to 1.00.

      

      

      For purposes of this Section 5.09, a “Specified Acquisition” means any single acquisition by the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower (x) of any Person (the “Target”) that is in the same line or lines of business as the Borrower or in the judgment of the Borrower related line or lines of business, (y) as to which such Target’s board of directors has not objected and
        (z) that involves cash payments, as of the date of the closing thereof, to the seller or sellers of the Target in excess of $225,000,000.

      

      

      Section 5.10.  Use of Proceeds.  (a) The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit for any lawful corporate
        purposes.

      

      

      (b)          No part of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will be used directly or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, indirectly (a) to fund any operations, activities, business or transactions of, in, or
        with, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Country, (b) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto, (c) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or
        giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws or (d) in violation of any Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

      

      

      Section 5.11.  [Reserved]

      

      

      Section 5.12.  Transactions with Affiliates.  The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
        indirectly, pay any funds to or for the account of, make any investment (whether by acquisition of stock or indebtedness, by loan, advance, transfer of property, guarantee or other agreement to pay, purchase or service, directly or indirectly, any
        Debt, or otherwise) in, lease, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any assets, tangible or intangible, to, or participate in, or effect, any transaction with, any Affiliate except (i) transactions on an arms-length basis on terms at least as
        favorable to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary than could have been obtained from a third party who was not an Affiliate, and (ii) transactions described in this Section 5.12 that would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
        Effect.

        given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders;

      

      

      (f)          any representation, warranty or certification made by the Borrower in this Agreement or in any certificate or notice delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect

      (h)          the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy,
        insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, or shall consent to any such relief or to

      (j)          a final judgment for the payment of money in excess of $250,000,000 shall have been entered against the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, and the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall not have satisfied

        Agent at the request of the Required Lenders;

      

      

      (k)          a final judgment either (1) requiring termination or imposing liability (other than for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA) under Title IV of ERISA in respect of, or requiring a trustee to be appointed

        judgment, in either case, has not been satisfied or stayed within 60 days and such failure to satisfy or stay is unremedied for 5 days after notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent at the request of the
        Required Lenders; or

      

      

      (l)          any person or group of persons (within the meaning of Section 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) shall have acquired beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
        promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under said Act) of 35% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Borrower; or during any two-year

      

      

      
        72

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      period, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Borrower’s Board of Directors (together with any new director whose election by the Board of Directors or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of the Borrower
        was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then in office who either were directors as the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a
        majority of the directors then in office;

      

      

      then, and in every such event, the Administrative Agent shall, if requested by the Required Lenders, (i) by notice to the Borrower terminate the Commitments and they shall thereupon terminate, and (ii) by notice to the Borrower declare the
        Loans, interest accrued thereon and all other amounts payable hereunder to be, and the same shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the

      Section 6.02.  Cash Cover.  The Borrower agrees, in addition to the provisions of Section 6.01 hereof, that upon the occurrence and
        during the continuance of any Event of Default, it shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Required Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, Cash Collateralize all Letters of Credit then outstanding at such time, provided that, in the event of (A) the filing by the Borrower of a petition, or (B) an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower, in each case under the federal bankruptcy laws
        as now or hereafter in effect, the Borrower shall do so forthwith without any notice or demand or any other act by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

      

      

      Section 6.03.  Application of Payments.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, following (i) the occurrence and during the
        continuance of an Event of Default, the termination of the Commitments and notice thereof to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or the Required Lenders or (ii) the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section
        6.01(a), (b), (c), (h) or (i) and notice thereof to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or the Required Lenders:

      

      

      (a)          all payments received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to Section 2.17, be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:

      

      

      
        73

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (i)          first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent (including fees and
        disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent payable under Section 9.04 and amounts pursuant to Section 2.11(b) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such);

      

      

      (ii)          second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, reimbursement obligations in respect of
        Letter of Credit Disbursements, interest and Letter of Credit fees) payable to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders (including fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders payable under Section 9.04)
        arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (ii) payable to them;

      

      

      (iii)          third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit fees and charges and interest on the Loans and unreimbursed Letter of
        Credit Disbursements, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iii) payable to them;

      

      

      (iv)          fourth, (A) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements and (B) to cash collateralize
        that portion of Letter of Credit Liabilities comprising the undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise cash collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to Section 6.02 or 2.17, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders in
        proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iv) payable to them; provided that (x) any such amounts applied pursuant to subclause (B) above shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for
        the ratable account of the applicable Issuing Lenders to cash collateralize Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, (y) subject to Section 6.02 or 2.17, amounts used to cash collateralize the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to
        this clause (iv) shall be used to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur and (z) upon the expiration of any Letter of Credit (without any pending drawings), the pro rata share of cash collateral shall be distributed to the
        other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth in this Section 6.03;

      

      

      (v)          fifth, to the payment in full of all other Obligations, in each case ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders based upon the respective
        aggregate amounts of all such

      

      

      
        74

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      Obligations owing to them in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and payable; and

      

      

      (vi)          finally, the balance, if any, after all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law; and

      

      

      (b)          if any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired (without any pending drawings), such remaining amount shall be applied to the other
        Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

      

      

      

      

      ARTICLE 7

      The Administrative Agent

      

      

      Section 7.01.  Appointment and Authorization.  (a) Each Lender and each Issuing Lender irrevocably appoints and authorizes the
        Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the Notes as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are
        reasonably incidental thereto; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not commence any legal action or proceeding before a court of law on behalf of
        any Lender or any Issuing Lender without such Lender’s or Issuing Lenders’, as applicable, prior written consent. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver,
        and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

      

      

      (b)          As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or
        take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders
        as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and each Issuing Lender; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an
        indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may
        be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or

      

      

      
        75

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors;
        provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action
        and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
        disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this
        Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have
        reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

      

      

      (c)          In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders (except in limited
        circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

      

      

      (i)          the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender
        or Issuing Lender other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or
        any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that
        such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim
          against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby; and

      

      

      (ii)          nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or

      

      

      

      
        76

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account.

      

      

      (d)          The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
        Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article
        shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the
        negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection
        of such sub-agent.

      

      

      (e)          None of any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any Arranger shall have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no
        liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

      

      

      (f)          In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to the Borrower under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the
        Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have
        made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

      

      

      (i)          to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Disbursements and all other Obligations that are
        owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.07, 2.11, 8.01, 8.04 and 9.04)
        allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

      

      

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

      

      

      and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and

      

      

      
        77

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      each Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent
        any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.04). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt
        on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the
        claim of any Lender or Issuing Lender in any such proceeding.

        money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent.  The term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless expressly indicated, include JPMorgan

        issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have
        received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect

        statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for

      Section 7.06. Posting of Communications.  (a) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make

        electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

      

      

      (b)          Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time
        to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a
        deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an

      

      

      
        80

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be
        confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and
        assumes the risks of such distribution.

      

      

      (c)          THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE
        COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY,
        INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE
        APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER, ANY DOCUMENTATION AGENT, ANY SYNDICATION AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”)

        HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR
        OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWER’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

      (d)          Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute
        effective delivery of the

      

      

      
        81

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s
        or Issuing Lender’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

      

      

      (e)          Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the
        Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.

      

      

      (f)          Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner
        specified in such Loan Document.

      

      

      Section 7.07.  Acknowledgments of Lenders and Issuing Lenders.  (a) Each Lender and each Issuing Lender represents and warrants that (i)

        in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument (and each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the
        foregoing), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing,

      Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
        hereunder or thereunder.

      

      

      (b)          Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement or any other Loan Document pursuant to
        which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the
        Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.

      

      

      (c)          (i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the
        Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted
        to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Domestic Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the
        amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to
        the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y)
        to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the
        Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 7.07(c) shall be
        conclusive, absent manifest error.

      

      

      (ii)          Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date
        from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a
        Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment.  Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise

        but in no event later than one Domestic Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect

      (iii)          The Borrower hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any
        reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower.

      

      

      (iv)          Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.07(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the
        replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

      

      

      Section 7.08.  Successor Administrative Agents.  (a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the
        Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Borrower shall, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, have the right, with the consent of the Required Lenders, to appoint any of the
        Lenders as a successor Administrative Agent.  In the event that a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint the successor Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been
        so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor
        Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of its

      retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Administrative Agent.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent,
        the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent.

      

      

      (b)          Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
        Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of
        such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all
        the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for
        the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or
        made to each Lender and each Issuing Lender. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and
        indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
        taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

      

      

      Section 7.09.  Administrative Agent’s Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts
        and at the times previously agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

      

      

      Section 7.10.  Other Agents.  Nothing in this Agreement shall impose upon any Agent other than the Administrative Agent, in its capacity
        as such an Agent, any obligation or liability whatsoever.

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

      

      

      (b)          In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in
        accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender
        party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with
        respect to the

      assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise
        of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

      

      

      

      

      ARTICLE 8

      Change in Circumstances

      

      

      Section 8.01.  Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.  (a) If after the date hereof, in the case of any Loan or Letter of
        Credit or any obligation to make Loans or issue or participate in any Letter of Credit, a Change in Law shall (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment (excluding Taxes) or similar requirement (including,
        without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Regulation D or otherwise, as herein provided) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any
        Lender, (ii) subject any Administrative Agent or Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or (B) Taxes described in Sections
        8.04(b)(v)-(z)) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (iii) impose on any Lender or the Londonapplicable interbank market any other condition affecting its Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Loans, its Note or its obligations to make Euro-DollarTerm
            Benchmark Loans or its obligations hereunder in respect of Letters of Credit and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Loan or of issuing or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any
        sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or under its Note, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after written demand therefor made through the Administrative Agent, in the form of the
        certificate referred to in Section 8.01(c), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided that the
        Borrower shall not be required to pay any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the 90th day before the date of any such demand.

      

      

      (b)          Without limiting the effect of Section 8.01(a) (but without duplication), if any Lender determines at any time after the date on which this Agreement becomes effective that a Change in Law will have the
        effect of increasing the amount of capital or liquidity required to be maintained by such Lender (or its Parent) based on the existence of such Lender’s Loans, Commitment and/or other obligations hereunder, then the Borrower shall pay to

      

      

      
        87

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      such Lender, within 15 days after its written demand therefor made through the Administrative Agent in the form of the certificate referred to in Section 8.01(c), such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender for any
        reduction in the rate of return on capital of such Lender (or its Parent) as a result of such increased capital or liquidity requirement; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such
        compensation with respect to any period prior to the 90th day before the date of any such demand; provided further, however, that to the extent (i) a Lender shall
        increase its level of capital above the level maintained by such Lender on the date of this Agreement and there has not been a Change in Law or (ii) there has been a Change in Law and a Lender shall increase its level of capital by an amount
        greater than the increase attributable (taking into consideration the same variables taken into consideration in determining the level of capital maintained by such Lender on the date of this Agreement) to such Change in Law, the Borrower shall not
        be required to pay any amount or amounts under this Agreement with respect to any such increase in capital.  Thus, for example, a Lender which is “adequately capitalized” (as such term or any similar term is used by any applicable bank regulatory
        agency having authority with respect to such Lender) may not require the Borrower to make payments in respect of increases in such Lender’s level of capital made under the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above which improve its
        capital position from “adequately capitalized” to “well capitalized” (as such term or any similar term is used by any applicable bank regulatory agency having authority with respect to such Lender).

      

      

      (c)          Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date on which this Agreement becomes effective, which will
        entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.01 and will use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such
        compensation and will not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense or be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 8.01 and
        setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and setting forth the basis for the determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  In determining such amount, such Lender shall act reasonably
        and in good faith, and may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

      

         

      Section 8.02. Alternate Rate of Interest.  (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) and (g) of this Section 8.02, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Euro-Dollar Borrowing:

      

      

      
        88

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (i)          the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOTerm SOFR Rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate, as applicable (including because the LIBO ScreenTerm SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR; or

      

      

      (ii)          the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period
            for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted LIBOTerm SOFR Rate or

            the London Interbank Offered Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such
        Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or
            maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing;

      

      

      then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the
            relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Notice of Interest Rate Election in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03 or a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, (A1) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Borrowing shall be ineffective and (B) if any
        Notice of Borrowing that requests a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as anTerm Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Notice of Borrowing, as applicable, for (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not
            also the subject of Section 8.02(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an Base Rate Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 8.02(a)(i) or (ii) above and (2) any Notice of Borrowing that requests an RFR Borrowing shall
            instead be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing, as applicable, for a Base Rate Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then theall other TypeTypes of Borrowings shall
        be permitted.  Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in
            this Section

      

      

      
        89

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      8.02(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the
            circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03 or a new Notice of Borrowing in
            accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not
            also the subject of Section 8.02(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) a Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 8.02(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day, and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by
          the Administrative Agent to, and shall
            constitute a Base Rate Loan.

      

      

      (b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have
        occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark
        Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or
        consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark
        Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Domestic Business Day after the date notice of such
        Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written
        notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

      

      

      (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan
            Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have
            occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of
            such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this

      

      

      
        90

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not
            be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.

      

      

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

      

      

      (d)          (e) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the
        Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement,
        (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any
        determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 8.02, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the
        occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and
        without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 8.02.

      

      

      (e)          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other
        Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i1) if the
        then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR or the London Interbank Offered Rate) and either
        (Aa) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate
        from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (Bb) the regulatory
        supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the
        definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii2) if

      

      

      
        91

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (Aa) is subsequently displayed on a screen or
        information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B)b) is not, or is no longer, subject to
        an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to
        reinstate such previously removed tenor.

      

      

      (f)          (g) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a
        Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Borrowing or RFR
        Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued
        during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request for

            a Term Benchmark Borrowing into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans(A) an RFR
            Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an Base Rate Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event.  During any Benchmark
        Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor
        for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.  Furthermore, if any Term
            Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until
            such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented pursuant to this Section 8.02, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) a Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the
            subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute  Base Rate Loan.

      

      

      Section 8.03.  Illegality.  (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if, after the date on which this Agreement becomes effective,
        a Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to (i)  honor any Commitment it may have hereunder to make any Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Loan, or RFR Loans then such Commitment shall be
        suspended, or (ii) maintain any Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Loan or RFR Loans, then all Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Loans or RFR
        Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be converted into Base Rate Loans as provided in Section 8.03(b), and any remaining Commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark

      

      

      
        92

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      Loans or RFR Loans  (but not other Loans) shall be immediately suspended, in either case until such Lender may again make and/or maintain Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans (as the
        case may be), and borrowings from such Lender, at a time when borrowings from the other Lenders are to be of Euro-DollarTerm
            Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, shall be made, simultaneously with such borrowings from the other Lenders, by way of Base Rate Loans.  Upon the occurrence of any such change, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with
        a copy to the Administrative Agent), and shall furnish to the Borrower in writing evidence thereof certified by such Lender.  Before giving any notice pursuant to this Section 8.03, such Lender shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office
        if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the sole reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

      

      

      (b)          Any conversion of any outstanding Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Loan which
        is required under this Section 8.03 shall be effected immediately (or, if permitted by applicable law, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor).

      

      

      Section 8.04.  Taxes on Payments.  (a) For purposes of this Section 8.04, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term
        “applicable law” includes FATCA.

      

      

      (b)          All payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any present and future Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or
        any Lender, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, (v) Taxes imposed on its net income, branch profit Taxes and franchise or similar Taxes imposed in lieu of net income Taxes by the jurisdiction (or any political
        subdivision thereof) under the laws of which it is organized or doing business (other than solely pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document) or in which its principal office is located or, in the case of any Lender, in
        which its Applicable Lending Office is located, (w) backup withholding tax that is required by Section 3406 of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor provision thereto) to be withheld from amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or such
        Lender, (x) in the case of a Lender, U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan or Commitment pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which
        (i) such Lender acquires such interest in the Loan or Commitment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower under Section 9.01(b)) or (ii) such Lender changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant
        to Section 8.04, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, (y) any withholding tax that
        is attributable to such Lender’s failure to

      

      

      
        93

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      comply with Section 8.04(e) and (z) Taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA (all such non-excluded Taxes being hereinafter called “Indemnified Taxes”), except as expressly provided in this Section 8.04.  If any
        Taxes are imposed and required by law to be deducted or withheld from any amount payable by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (the “Withholding Agent”) to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender,
        then (1) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the Borrower shall increase the amount of such payment so that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, will receive a net amount (after deduction and withholding of all Indemnified
        Taxes including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 8.04) equal to the amount it would otherwise have received hereunder, (2) the Withholding Agent shall pay such Taxes to the appropriate
        Governmental Authority for the account of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and (3) as soon as practicable thereafter, the Withholding Agent shall send the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, evidence
        of original or certified copy of a receipt showing payment thereof, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or such Lender.  If the Borrower fails to perform
        its obligations under (2) or (3) above, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable as a result of any such failure.

      

      

      (c)          The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender
        against any present or future transfer taxes, intangible, stamp, recording, filing or documentary taxes, excise or property taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution, delivery, registration or
        enforcement of this Agreement or any Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

      

      

      (d)          The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, 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 8.04) payable or paid by such Administrative Agent or Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any reasonable expenses
        arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the
        Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

      

      

      
        94

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (e)          Each Lender that is a foreign person (i.e., a person who is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the
        Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the
        Administrative Agent), unless the Lender is not legally entitled to do so, whichever of the following is applicable: (i) duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, claiming eligibility for benefits of
        an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (ii) duly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, (iii) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the
        Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of the applicable certificate that is included in Exhibit G, or any other form approved by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to the effect that such Lender is not
        (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation”
        described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (y) duly executed copies of  Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (iv) in the case of a Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under
        this Agreement (including a partnership) (A) executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (B) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), and (v) of this paragraph (e) that would be required of each beneficial owner (or
        partner) if the beneficial owner (or partner) were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its direct or indirect
        partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, the Lender may provide the certificate required under paragraph (iii) above on behalf of such partners; and (v) any other form 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 Borrower or the
        Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; provided that no form shall be required under this Section 8.04(e)(v) if, in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, the completion, execution or submission of such form
        would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.  The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall each be entitled to rely on such forms in its
        possession until receipt of any revised or successor form pursuant to the preceding sentence.  Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update
        such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

      (f)          [Reserved]

      

      

      (g)          If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender (including the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender) pursuant to this Section 8.04, then such Lender
        will (at the request of the borrower) use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of one or more Applicable Lending Offices if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, would eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may
        thereafter accrue and does not result in an unreimbursed cost and is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

      

      

      (h)          If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 8.04 (including by the
        payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.04), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such
        refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the
        request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority with
        respect to such refund) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.04(h), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay
        any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 8.04(h) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification
        payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 8.04(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it
        deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

      

      

      (i)          Any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on
        which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of Internal Revenue Service form W-9 certifying, to the extent such Lender is
        legally entitled to do so, that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax.

      

      

      
        96

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (j)          If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any Assignment and Assumption Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with
        the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
        prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such
        additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied
        with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this Section 8.04(j), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
        Agreement.

      

      

      (k)          Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for (i) any Indemnified Taxes (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified
        the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.08(b) relating to the maintenance of
        a Participant Register and (iii) any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes) imposed on or with respect to such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender, in each case attributable to such Lender that
        are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
        by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  This indemnification shall be made within 15 days
        from the date the Administrative Agent makes demand therefor.

      

      

      (l)          Each party’s obligation under this Section 8.04 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination
        of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement.

      ARTICLE 9

      Miscellaneous

      

      

      Section 9.01.  Termination of Participation of a Lender; New Lenders.  (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary
        (including Section 9.05 and Section 9.06), (1) upon receipt of notice from any Lender for compensation or indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or Section 8.04 if such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office
        in accordance with Sections 8.01(c), 8.03(a), or 8.04(g), (2) upon receipt of notice that the obligations of a Lender to make or maintain Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans has been suspended or (3) if a Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate the Commitment in full of such Lender (a “Retiring Lender”) (if still in existence) and to prepay all outstanding Loans of such Lender.  Such termination and/or prepayment pursuant to this Section 9.01(a) shall be effective on the tenth Domestic Business
        Day following the date of a notice thereof to the Retiring Lender through the Administrative Agent, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

      

      

      (i)          in the event that on such effective date there shall be any Loan(s) of the Retiring Lender outstanding hereunder, the Borrower shall have prepaid on such date (x) the aggregate principal
        amount of such Loan(s) and (y) if and to the extent necessary, an additional aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders such that, after giving effect to clause (iii) below, no Lender’s Outstanding Committed Amount shall
        exceed its Commitment and the Total Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the Total Commitments;

      

      

      (ii)          in addition to the payment of the principal of the Loans held by the Retiring Lender pursuant to clause (i) above, the Borrower shall have paid such Retiring Lender all accrued interest
        thereon, and facility fee and any other amounts then payable to it hereunder, including, without limitation, all amounts payable by the Borrower to such Lender under Section 2.14 by reason of the prepayment of Loans pursuant to clause (i) with
        respect to the period ending on such effective date; provided that the provisions of Section 8.01, Section 8.04 and Section 9.04 shall survive for the benefit of any Retiring Lender; and

      

      

      (iii)          in the case of termination of a Commitment, the respective Letter of Credit Liabilities of the Lenders shall be redetermined as of the effective date of such termination.

      

      

      Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder.

      

      

      
        98

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (b)          In lieu of the termination of a Lender’s Commitment and/or prepayments of its Loans pursuant to Section 9.01(a), the Borrower may notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrower desires to replace such
        Retiring Lender with a new bank or banks (which may be one or more of the Lenders), which will purchase the Loans and assume the Commitment and Letter of Credit Liabilities of the Retiring Lender; provided that, in the case of any such assignment
        resulting from a claim for compensation or indemnification under Sections 8.01(a) or 8.04, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or indemnification thereafter.  Upon the Borrower’s selection of a bank to replace a Retiring
        Lender, such bank’s agreement thereto and the fulfillment of the conditions to assignment and assumption set forth in Section 9.08(c) such bank shall become a Lender hereunder for all purposes in accordance with Section 9.08(c).

      

      

      Section 9.02.  Notices.  (a) All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including bank
        wire, facsimile or other electronic transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (i) in the case of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at its address, facsimile number or electronic mail address set forth on the
        signature pages hereof, (ii) in the case of any Lender, at its address, facsimile number or electronic mail address set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (iii) in the case of any party, such other address, facsimile number or electronic
        mail address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.  Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (x) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted
        to the facsimile number specified in this Section and confirmation of receipt is received or (y) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section.

      

      

      (b)          Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using Approved Electronic Platforms pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article 2 if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by
        electronic communication.  The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

      

      

      (c)          Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the
        intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other

      

      

      
        99

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Domestic Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or
        communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is
        available and identifying the website address therefor.

      

      

      Section 9.03.  No Waivers.  No failure or delay by either Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege
        hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies herein
        provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

      

      

      Section 9.04.  Expenses; Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.  (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) reasonable, documented out-of-pocket
        expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of one special counsel for the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses
        incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, including reasonable fees and expenses of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (in addition to one local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction if reasonably
        necessary as determined by the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent or one or more Lenders shall determine in good faith that there is an actual or perceived conflict between its interests and the interests of the Lenders or other
        Lenders, as the case may be, one additional counsel for each such Lender), in connection with such Event of Default and collection and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

      

      

      (b)          The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing
        (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and reasonable expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable,
        documented fees and disbursements of one outside counsel selected by the Administrative Agent for the Indemnitees (in addition to one local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction if reasonably necessary as determined by the Administrative
        Agent and, to the extent one or more Indemnitees shall determine in good faith that there is an actual or perceived conflict between its interests and the interests of other Indemnitees, one additional counsel for each such Indemnitee), incurred by
        such Indemnitee in response to or in defense of any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding brought or threatened against the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender

      

      

      
        100

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder (i) to the extent such
        indemnification relates to relationships between or among each of, or any of, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Lenders or any Assignee or Participant and does not involve any act or omission by the Borrower or (ii) for such
        Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct or any bad faith breach by such Indemnitee of any of its material obligations hereunder as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  This Section
        9.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

      

      

      (c)          To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
        consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the
        proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this sentence shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
        asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

      

      

      (d)          Each Lender severally agrees to pay any amount required to be paid by the Borrower under paragraphs (a),  (b) or (c) of this Section 9.04 to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Related
        Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Agent-Related Person”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably
        according to their respective Applicable Percentage in effect on the date on which such payment is sought under this Section (or, if such payment is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have
        been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Applicable Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all Liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may
        at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any
        documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent-Related Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that the unreimbursed expense or Liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in its capacity as such; provided,
          further that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such Liabilities, costs, expenses

      

      

      
        101

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent-Related Peerson’sPerson’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
        hereunder.

      

      

      (e)          Payments.  All amounts due under this Section 9.04 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

      

      

      Section 9.05.  Pro Rata Treatment.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, (a) each borrowing from, and change in the Commitments
        of, the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to their respective Commitments, and (b) each payment and prepayment on any Group of Loans shall be made to all applicable Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal amount of such
        Loans held by each of them.

      

      

      Section 9.06.  Sharing of Set-offs.  Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or
        otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount then due with respect to the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount
        then due with respect to the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by the
        other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any
        Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under this Agreement.

      

      

      Section 9.07.  Amendments and Waivers.  Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such
        amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of any Agent or any Issuing Lender are affected thereby, by it).  Notwithstanding the foregoing:

      

      

      (a)          No such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all affected Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender if and as provided in Section 2.17 or as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.07, including
        pursuant to a Loan Modification Offer),

      

      

      (i)          increase or extend any Commitment,

      

      

      
        102

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      (ii)          reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or the amount to be reimbursed in respect of any Letter of Credit or any interest thereon or any fees hereunder,

      

      

      (iii)          postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any loan or for reimbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit or interest thereon or any fees hereunder or for
        termination of any Commitment;

      

      

      (iv)          amend Section 9.08(c) to impose any additional requirements for Lender assignments;

      

      

      (v)          subordinate the obligations of the Borrower hereunder in right of payment to any other Debt of the Borrower;

      

      

      (vi)          change Section 9.05 in a manner that would alter the ratable reduction of Commitments or the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender;

      

      

      (vii)          change the payment waterfall provisions of Section 2.17(b) or 6.03 without the written consent of each Lender; or

      

      

      (viii)          amend this Section 9.07, or any defined term used herein, or any other provision specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend or waive a particular provision of
        this Agreement, so as to change the percentage of the aggregate amount of Credit Exposures which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement.

      

      

      (b)          This Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) to permit
        the refinancing or replacement of all Commitments with a replacement facility under this Agreement (a “Replacement Revolving Credit Facility”); provided that (a) the
        aggregate amount of commitments under such Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the replaced Commitments and (b) the maturity date of such Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall not be earlier than the
        Termination Date.  The Administrative Agent shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a Replacement Revolving Credit Facility.  For the avoidance of doubt, a Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall not require the consent of any Person
        other than the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Credit Facility.

      

      

      (c)          The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”)

      

      

      
        103

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      to all Lenders to make one or more amendments or modifications to (A) allow the maturity of the Loans and/or Commitments of Accepting Lenders (as defined below) to be extended and/or (B) change the pricing and/or fees (or add additional fees)
        with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (“Permitted Amendments”) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. 
        Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective.  Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to
        the Loans and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such
        Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.  The Borrower and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an agreement containing the terms of the Permitted Amendments (a “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof.  The
        Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be
        deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lenders’
        acceptance has been made.

      

      

      (d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified any ambiguity, mistake, defect, inconsistency, obvious error, omission or any other
        error or omission of a technical nature or any necessary or desirable technical change on any Lender, in each case, in any provision of any Loan Document, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to effect amendments to this
        Agreement or any other Loan Document, as applicable, solely to address such matter and such amendment shall become effective without the consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least
        five (5) Domestic Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Domestic Business Days of the date
        of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.

      

      

      Section 9.08.  Successors and Assigns; Participations; Novation.  (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
        parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that, except in accordance with 

      

      

      
        104

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      Section 5.04 and 5.07, the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of all Lenders.

      

      

      (b)          Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, at any time sell to one or more Eligible Institutions (each a “Participant”) participating
        interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder, the Letter of Credit Liabilities of such Lender and any other interest of such Lender hereunder.  In the event of any such sale by a
        Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Note or
        Notes, if any, for all purposes under this Agreement and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any
        agreement pursuant to which a Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right
        to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or
        waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 9.07(a) affecting such Participant without the consent of the Participant; provided further that such Participant shall be bound by
        any waiver, amendment or other decision that all Lenders shall be required to abide by pursuant to a vote by Required Lenders.  Subject to the provisions of Section 9.08(d), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in
        its participation agreement, be entitled (through the applicable Lender) to the benefits of Article 8 with respect to its participating interest (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections
        8.04(e), (h), and (i) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections 8.04(e), (h), and (i) shall be delivered to the participating lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
        pursuant to Section 9.08(c); provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 9.10 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an
        agent of the Borrower, 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, or its other obligations under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or
        other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-(c) of the United States Treasury

      

      

      
        105

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      Regulations or, if different under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.  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.  An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (f) below shall be given effect for
        purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).

      

      

      (c)          (i) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Eligible Institutions (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
        and the Notes.  Each Assignee shall assume all such rights and obligations pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement.  In no event shall (A) the Credit Exposure of a transferor Lender or a transferee Lender (together with the Credit
        Exposure of any affiliate of such Lender), after giving effect to any sale pursuant to this subsection (c), be less than $5,000,000, except as may result upon the transfer by a Lender of its Credit Exposure in its entirety, or (B) any sale pursuant
        to this subsection (c) result in the transferee Lender (together with its affiliates) holding more than 35% of the aggregate Credit Exposures, except to the extent that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent’s consent to such sale.

      

      

      (ii)          No interest may be sold by a Lender pursuant to this subsection (c) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and, so long as no Event of
        Default shall exist at the time, the Borrower, which consents, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided however that sales to an affiliate of such
        Lender, or to another Lender, will not require the consent of the Borrower.  For the purposes of this subsection (c)(ii), the withholding of consent by the Borrower shall not be deemed unreasonable if based solely upon the Borrower’s desire to (A)
        balance relative loan exposures to such Eligible Institution among all credit facilities of the Borrower or (B) avoid payment of any additional amounts payable to such Eligible Institution under Article 8 which would arise from such assignment. 
        The Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Domestic Business Days after having received notice thereof.

      

      

      (iii)          Upon (A)  execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (B) delivery by the transferor Lender of an executed copy thereof, together with notice that the payment referred to in
        clause (C) below shall have been made, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (C) payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender

      

      

      
        106

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      and such Assignee, such Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original
        party hereto with a Credit Exposure as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a correspondent extent, and no further consent or action by the Borrower,
        the Lenders or the Administrative Agents shall be required to effectuate such transfer.  Each Assignee shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or other decision that all Lenders shall be required to abide by pursuant to a vote by Required Lenders.

      

      

      (iv)          Upon the consummation of any transfer to an Assignee pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate
        arrangements so that, if requested by the transferor Lender or the Assignee, a new Note or Notes shall be delivered from the Borrower to the transferor Lender and/or such Assignee.  In connection with any such assignment, the Assignee or the
        transferor Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500.

      

      

      (d)          No Assignee, Participant or other transferee (including any successor Applicable Lending Office) of any Lender’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.01 than such
        Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.01 or Section 8.03 requiring such Lender to
        designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

      

      

      (e)          Each Lender may, upon the written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each a “Transferee”)

        and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower that has been delivered to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by the
        Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation prior to entering into this Agreement, subject in all cases to agreement by such Transferee or prospective Transferee to comply with the provisions of Section 9.15.

      

      

      (f)          Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.08 to the contrary, any Lender may assign or pledge any of its rights and interests in the Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank without the consent of the
        Borrower.

      

      

      Section 9.09.  Visitation.   Subject to restrictions imposed by applicable security clearance regulations, the Borrower will upon
        reasonable prior notice and

      

      

      
        107

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      at times mutually agreed during normal business hours permit representatives of any Lender at such Lender’s expense to visit any of its major properties; provided that unless an Event of Default shall
        have occurred and be continuing, only one such visit shall be permitted in any fiscal year by all Lenders at all major properties.

      

      

      Section 9.10.  Collateral.  Each of the Lenders represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith
        is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

      

      

      Section 9.11.  [Reserved]

      

      

      Section 9.12.  Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.  This Agreement and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance
        with the internal laws of the State of New York.  Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New
        York State Court sitting in New York for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders irrevocably waives, to
        the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an
        inconvenient forum.

      

      

      Section 9.13.  Counterparts; Integration, Effectiveness, Electronic Execution.

      

      

      (a)          This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.  This Agreement
        constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

      

      

      (b)          Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the
        avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 9.02), certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an
        “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as
        delivery of a manually executed counterpart of

      

      

      
        108

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any
        Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual
        executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that
        nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on
        such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic signature and (ii) upon the request of the
        Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature  shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without
        limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Borrower, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or
        any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement,  any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and
        enforceability as any paper original, (ii) the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic
        record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and shall have the same
        legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (iii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely
        on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (iv) waives any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any
        Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed
        signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Borrower to use any

      available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.

      

      

      Section 9.14.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS
          HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

      

      

      Section 9.15.  Confidentiality.  Each Lender agrees, with respect to any information delivered or made available by the Borrower to it
        that is clearly indicated to be confidential information or private data, to use all reasonable efforts to protect such confidential information from unauthorized use or disclosure and to restrict disclosure to only those Persons employed or
        retained by such Lender who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  Nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing such
        information (i) to any other Lender, (ii) to its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and accountants who have a need to know such information in accordance with customary banking practices and who receive such information
        having been made aware of and having agreed to 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) which has been publicly disclosed, (vi) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation to which any Agent or Lender, the Borrower or their respective affiliates may be a party, (vii) to the extent reasonably
        required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (viii) to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to
        the obligations under this Agreement, provided that such person agree to be bound by the terms provided in this paragraph, (ix) with the prior written consent of the Borrower and (x) on a confidential basis
        to any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facility provided for herein; provided however, that before any disclosure is permitted under (iii) or (vi) of
        this Section 9.15, each Lender shall, if not legally prohibited, notify and consult with the Borrower, promptly and in a timely manner, concerning the information it proposes to disclose, to enable the Borrower to take such action as may be
        appropriate under the circumstances to protect the confidentiality of the information in question, and provided further that any disclosure under the foregoing proviso be limited to only that information
        discussed with the Borrower.  The use of the term “confidential” in this Section 9.15 is not intended to refer to data classified by the government of the United States under laws and regulations relating to the

      

      

      
        110

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      handling of data, but is intended to refer to information and other data regarded by the Borrower as private.

      

      

      Section 9.16.  USA Patriot Act.  Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title
        III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and
        address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

      

      

      Section 9.17.  Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-in of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
        any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the
        Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

      

      

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

      

      

      (b)          the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable

      

      

      (i)          a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

      

      

      (ii)         a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent 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 the applicable Resolution Authority.

      

      

      Section 9.18.  Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is
        hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or

      

      

      
        111

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this
        Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.  Each Lender agrees to notify the
        Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

      

      

      Section 9.19.  No Fiduciary Duty.

      

      

      (a)          The Borrower agrees that in connection with all aspects of the Loans and Letters of Credit contemplated by this Agreement and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrower and its
        Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties and their Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the
        Issuing Lenders, the Lenders or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender,
        each Lender and their Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, their stockholders and/or their affiliates

      

      

      (b)          The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, is a full service
          securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services.  In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other
          financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrower and other companies
          with which the Borrower may have commercial or other relationships.  With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial
          instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

      

      

      (c)          In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt
          financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise.  No Credit Party
          will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan

      

      

      
        112

        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      Documents or its other relationships with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies.  The Borrower also
        acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.

      

      

      Section 9.20. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee
        or otherwise, for swap 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 Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

      

      

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

      For purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the further provisions of this Schedule:

      

      

      “Level 1 Pricing” applies at any date if, at such date, the Borrower’s long-term debt is rated A or higher by S&P or A2 or higher by Moody’s.

      

      

      “Level 2 Pricing” applies at any date if, at such date, (i) the Borrower’s long-term debt is rated A- or higher by S&P or A3 or higher by Moody’s and (ii) Level 1 Pricing
        does not exist.

      

      

      “Level 3 Pricing” applies at any date if, at such date, (i) the Borrower’s long-term debt is rated BBB+ or higher by S&P or Baa1 or higher by Moody’s and (ii) neither Level 1
        nor Level 2 Pricing exists.

      

      

      “Level 4 Pricing” applies at any date if, at such date, (i) the Borrower’s long-term debt is rated BBB or higher by S&P or Baa2 or higher by Moody’s and (ii) none of Level 1
        Pricing, Level 2 Pricing and Level 3 Pricing exists.

      

      

      “Level 5 Pricing” applies at any date if, at such date, no other Pricing Level applies.

      

      

      “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (or any successor thereto).

      

      

      
        
          

      

      

      

      

      

      “Pricing Level” refers to the determination of which of Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4 or Level 5 applies at any date.

      

      

      “Rating Agency” means each of S&P and Moody’s.

      

      

      “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business (or any successor thereto).

      

      

      The credit ratings to be utilized for purposes of this Schedule are those assigned to the senior unsecured long-term debt securities of the Borrower without third-party credit enhancement, and any rating assigned to
        any other debt security of the Borrower shall be disregarded.  For purposes hereof, (i) in the case of split ratings from Moody’s and S&P, the Pricing Level will be determined on the basis of the higher rating, provided that if the split is
        more than one notch, then the Pricing Level will be determined on the basis of a rating one notch below the higher rating, (ii) if neither Moody’s nor S&P shall have in effect a rating (other than by reason of the circumstances referred to in
        the last sentence of this paragraph), then such Rating Agency shall be deemed to have established a rating at the highest Pricing Level, (iii) if only one of Moody’s and S&P shall have in effect a rating, pricing shall be determined by
        reference to the level in which such rating falls and (iv) if the ratings established or deemed to have been established by Moody’s and S&P shall be changed (other than as a result of a change in the rating system of Moody’s or S&P), such
        change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first announced by the applicable rating agency. Each change in pricing shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately
        preceding the effective date of such change.  The ratings in effect for any day are those in effect at the close of business on such day, and the Euro-DollarTerm Benchmark Margin and Facility Fee Rate may change from time to time during any Interest Period as a result of changes in the Pricing Level during such Interest Period. If the rating system of
        Moody’s or S&P shall change, or if any such Rating Agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith  to amend the pricing to reflect such changed rating
        system or the unavailability of ratings from such Rating Agency  and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the pricing shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

of such actions within the Determination Period, the Executive may terminate his employment with the Company for Good Reason within the 30 day period following the end of the Determination Period by giving written notice to the Company in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.01, which termination will be effective on the Termination Date; if the Executive does 

  
 4 

 
not so terminate his employment within such time period his ability to terminate employment for Good Reason shall cease to exist upon the end of such period. If the Company determines that Good
Reason does not exist, then (A) the Executive will not be entitled to rely on or assert such event as constituting Good Reason, and (B) the Executive may pursue his remedies under this Agreement within 30 days after the Executive’s
receipt of written notice of the Company’s determination.

business hours and whether or not alone or in conjunction with any other Person) while employed by the Company together with all patent applications, letters patent, trademark, tradename and service mark applications or registrations, copyrights and

ELIGIBILITY AND BENEFITS 

Section 2.01 Termination Notices from Executive for Good Reason. For purposes of the Agreement, in order for the Executive to
terminate his employment for Good Reason, the Executive must give a Termination Notice to the Company in accordance with the requirements specified under the definition of Good Reason in Section 1.01, which notice shall be signed by the
Executive, shall be dated the date it is given to the Company, shall specify the Termination Date and shall state that the termination is for Good Reason and shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis
for such Good Reason. In the event that the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment without Good Reason, the Executive must give a Termination Notice to the Company, which shall specify the Termination Date, which date shall not be less than
30 days from the date the Termination Notice is given. In such cases, the Board may, in its discretion, accelerate the effective date of such termination of employment and pay the Executive Base Salary in lieu of such notice. 

Section 2.02 Termination Notices from Company for Cause or Disability. For purposes of the Agreement, in order for the Company to
terminate the Executive’s employment for Cause, the Company must give a Termination Notice to the Executive, which notice shall be in writing and dated the date it is given to the Executive, shall specify the Termination Date and shall state
that the termination is for Cause and shall set forth in reasonable detail the particulars thereof. For purposes of the Agreement, in order for the Company to terminate the Executive’s employment for Disability, the Company must give a
Termination Notice to the Executive, which notice shall be dated the date it is given to the Executive, shall specify the Termination Date and shall state that the termination is for Disability and shall set forth in reasonable detail the
particulars thereof. Any Termination Notice given by the Company that does not comply, in all material respects, with the foregoing requirements shall be invalid and ineffective for purposes of the Agreement. Any Termination Notice purported to be
given by the Company to the Executive after the death or retirement of such Executive shall be invalid and ineffective. Executive and his/her representative(s) will cooperate fully in providing all evidence that the Board needs to determine
Disability.

 ARTICLE III 

SEVERANCE AND RELATED TERMINATION BENEFITS 

Section 3.01 Termination of Employment. 

(a) Voluntary Termination by Executive. In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Executive other than for
Good Reason, then the Executive shall be paid, within 30 days following the Termination Date (unless applicable state law requires sooner payment), the following (with the benefits set forth in (1) and (2) collectively referred to as the
“Accrued Obligations”): 
  

	 	(1)	 the Base Salary through the Termination Date, to the extent not already paid, and any amounts due for paid time
off or vacation bank through the Termination Date; and 

  

	 	(2)	 reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by the Executive, in accordance with the
Company’s applicable policy, prior to the Termination Date, to the extent such reimbursements are submitted to the Company within 30 days following the Termination Date. 

Following the Executive’s termination of employment other than for Good Reason, except as set forth in this Section 3.01(a), the
Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits in the nature of severance or termination pay or in connection with the termination of his employment. 

(b) For Cause. In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, then the Executive shall be
paid, within 30 days following the Termination Date (unless applicable state law requires sooner payment), the Accrued Obligations through the Termination Date. 

Following the Executive’s termination of employment by the Company for Cause, except as set forth in this Section 3.01(b), the
Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits in the nature of severance or termination pay or in connection with the termination of his employment. 

(c) Disability or Death. In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company by reason of the
Executive’s Disability or (ii) as a result of the Executive’s death, then in either case, the following benefits shall be paid to the Executive or the Executive’s estate, as applicable: 

 

	 	(1)	 the Accrued Obligations (at the time set forth in Section 3.01(a)); and 

 

	 	(2)	 within 60 days following the Termination Date, a lump-sum cash payment
equal to the product of (i) the Target Bonus Payment and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during which the Executive was employed by the Company in the Termination Year and the denominator of which is 365.

 Following the Executive’s termination of employment due to death or Disability, except as set forth in this
Section 3.01(c), the Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits in the nature of severance or termination pay or in connection with the termination of his employment. 

  
 7 

 (d) Without Cause or for Good Reason. In the event that the Executive’s
employment is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause (other than due to Disability or death) or (ii) by the Executive for Good Reason, then, subject to the provisions of Section 3.02 and Section 5.02(a) and (b) (under
certain circumstances requiring a six month suspension of payments) hereof, in either case, the following benefits shall be paid to the Executive: 
  

	 	(1)	 the Accrued Obligations (at the time set forth in Section 3.01(a)); 

 

	 	(2)	 a continuation of the Executive’s Base Salary during the Severance Continuation Period, which shall be
paid at the same time and in the same manner as if the Executive had remained employed by the Company during such period; provided, however, that the payments normally payable during the 60-day period
following the Termination Date shall be accrued and paid in a lump sum within five days following the end of such 60-day period; 

 

	 	(3)	 a pro rata amount of the Annual Bonus, if any, which would have been payable for the calendar year in which
such termination occurs, determined at the same time and in the same manner as would have occurred if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated during such calendar year and equal to the amount which would have been payable to the
Executive if the Executive’s employment had not been terminated during such calendar year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Executive was employed by the Company during such calendar year and the
denominator of which is 365. Any pro rata Annual Bonus payable under this subsection shall be paid in a lump sum at the same time the Annual Bonus amounts would have been paid if the Executive’s employment had continued until the normal Annual
Bonus payment date; 

  

	 	(4)	 a cash payment equal to two (2) times the Target Bonus Payment for the year in which the Termination Date
occurs (or, in the case of a termination for Good Reason due to prong (ii) of section (B) of such definition, based on the target bonus opportunity immediately prior to any reduction of it), payable in as nearly equal installments as
possible over the Severance Continuation Period; provided, however, that the payments normally payable during the 60-day period following the Termination Date shall be accrued and paid in a lump sum
within five days following the end of such 60-day period; and 

  
 8 

	 	(5)	 during the Severance Continuation Period, the Executive and his eligible dependents as of the Termination Date
shall continue to be covered by all medical, vision and dental Benefit Plans (excluding disability and life insurance) maintained by the Company, and at the same single / family / spouse only / other option, under which the Executive was covered
immediately prior to the Termination Date (collectively, the “Continued Health Benefits’’) at the same active Executive premium cost as a similarly situated active executive; provided, however, in
any case such Benefits shall cease if the Executive becomes entitled to medical benefits, dental and vision benefits from a new employer as provided in Section 3.03(a). The Company may provide such medical, vision and dental benefits by
reimbursing Executive for his cost for COBRA (or, if the Company determines it is possible, by making other arrangements to relieve Executive of such cost) in an amount equal to what the Company was previously paying on behalf of Executive for such
benefits through such Severance Continuation Period and comparable amounts if the COBRA continuation period expires prior to the expiration of the Severance Continuation Period. 

Following the Executive’s termination of employment by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason, except as set forth
in this Section 3.01(d), the Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits in the nature of severance or termination pay or in connection with the termination of his employment. 

(e) Vested Benefits. Following the Executive’s termination of employment under Section 3.01(a), (b), (c), or (d), he shall be
entitled to payment or distribution of such vested Benefits, if any, as to which the Executive may be entitled under the Benefit Plans pursuant to the terms of the applicable plans then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this
Agreement shall provide accelerated or enhanced vesting beyond the terms, conditions and provisions set forth in the Benefit Plans. With respect to entitlement to vested Benefits, in the event of conflict between this Agreement and the Benefit
Plans, the Benefit Plans shall control. 
 (f) Treatment of Continued Health Benefits. The premium cost to the Company of providing
any Continued Health Benefits which are medical, dental or vision benefits on a self-insured basis, will be timely reported to the Executive as taxable income, unless the Company determines that applicable law permits some other treatment. Any
continued medical, dental or vision benefits provided to Executive and his dependents pursuant to Section 3.01(d) are provided concurrently with any rights the Executive and such dependents may have to continue such coverages under COBRA. The
provisions of this Section 3.01 will not prohibit the Company from changing the terms of such Continued Health Benefits provided that any such changes apply to all similarly situated executives of the Company and its Affiliates (e.g., the
Company may switch insurance carriers or preferred provider organizations). 

  
 9 

 Section 3.02 Condition to Receipt of Separation Pay. As a condition to
receipt (or retention, as applicable) of any payment or amounts under Section 3.01(d), the Executive must (a) enter into a General Release and Waiver of Claims (“Release Agreement”) with the Company and its
Affiliates in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A and (b) continue to comply with his obligations under Article IV of this Agreement. The Executive must execute and return the Release Agreement to the Company no later
than the time period established by the Company which shall be no longer than 45 days from the date Executive receives the Release Agreement, followed by a seven (7)-day revocation period following the date
the Release Agreement is executed (“Revocation Period”). The Executive’s failure to timely execute and return the Release Agreement in accordance with the previous sentence, or the Executive’s revocation of
the Release Agreement during the Revocation Period, will result in a forfeiture of all benefits payable to the Executive under the terms of the Agreement other than the Accrued Obligations and any vested Benefits described under
Section 3.01(e). 
 Section 3.03 Limitation of Benefits. 

(a) Anything in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company’s obligation to provide the Continued Health Benefits shall
cease if and when the Executive becomes employed by a third party that provides such Executive with substantially comparable health and welfare benefits, subject to the Executive’s right to elect to continue coverage under COBRA at his own
cost. 
 (b) Any amounts payable under the Agreement shall be in lieu of and not in addition to any other severance or termination payment
under any other plan or agreement with the Company. As a condition to receipt of any payment under the Agreement, the Executive shall waive any entitlement to any other severance or termination payment by the Company, including any severance or
termination payment set forth in an individual employment agreement with the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 3.01(e), nothing in this Section 3.03(b) shall abridge the Executive’s rights with respect to
vested benefits under any Benefit Plan. 
 Section 3.04 Certain Excise Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, if the Executive is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Code Section 280G(c)), and the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, together with any other payments and benefits which
the Executive has the right to receive from the Company or any of its Affiliates, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Code Section 280G(b)(2)), then the payments and benefits provided for
in this Agreement shall be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such total amounts and benefits received by the Executive from the Company and its Affiliates will be one dollar ($1.00) less than three
(3) times Executive’s “base amount”(as defined in Code Section 280G(b)(3)) and so that no portion of such amounts and benefits received by the Executive shall be subject to the excise tax imposed
by Code Section 4999 or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after tax position to the Executive (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Code Section 4999 and any other applicable taxes). The reduction of
payments and benefits mentioned hereunder, as applicable, shall be made by reducing such payments and benefits first, to the extent of any severance payments due pursuant to Article 3 paid in cash, with later payments being reduced first.
Thereafter, the reduction shall be made by: (A) the waiver of accelerated vesting of equity awards, with awards having a later vesting date being reduced first; (B) next, cutting back on the benefit continuation pursuant to Section 3;
and (C) lastly, reducing all other payments or benefits, with later payments being reduced first. The determination as to whether any such 

  
 10 

 
reduction in the amount of the payments and benefits provided hereunder is necessary shall be made by Ecovyst in good faith. If a reduced payment or benefit is made or provided and through error
or otherwise that payment or benefit, when aggregated with other payments and benefits from the Company (or its Affiliates) used in determining if a parachute payment exists, exceeds one dollar ($1.00) less than three (3) times the
Executive’s base amount, then the Executive shall immediately repay such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made. In the event any reduction under this Agreement is disputed by the Executive, then
determinations required to be made under this Section 3.04, including the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by an outside nationally recognized accounting or consulting firm selected by Ecovyst or the
Board, in its reasonable discretion (the “Accounting Firm”), which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to Ecovyst and the Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from the Executive that
there has been a payment hereunder, or such earlier time as is requested by Ecovyst. In no event shall the Accounting Firm be an accounting firm that was, or is, serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group affecting the
change of ownership or effective control of Ecovyst.     Nothing in this Section 3.04 shall require the Company or Ecovyst (or any of their respective Affiliates) to be responsible for, or have any liability or
obligation with respect to, the Executive’s excise tax liabilities under Code Section 4999. 
 Section 3.05 Unfunded;
Executive’s Rights Unsecured. The Company shall not be required to establish any special or separate fund or make any other segregation of funds or assets to assure the payment of any benefit hereunder. The right of the Executive to receive
the benefits provided for herein shall be an unsecured obligation against the general assets of the Company. 
 ARTICLE IV 

CERTAIN AGREEMENTS 

Section 4.01 Nondisclosure and Nonuse of Confidential Information. The Executive will not disclose or use at any time, either
during his employment with the Company or its Affiliates or thereafter, any Confidential Information of which the Executive is or becomes aware, except to the extent that (i) such disclosure or use is directly related to and required by the
Executive’s performance of duties assigned to the Executive by the Company; (ii) to the extent that such disclosure is required in connection with any action by the Executive to enforce rights under this Agreement or (iii) such
disclosure is required by a court of law, governmental agency, or by any administrative or legislative body with jurisdiction to order the Executive to divulge or disclose such Confidential Information; provided, that, the Executive shall
provide ten (10) days prior written notice to the Company of any such requirement or order to disclose Confidential Information so that the Company may seek a protective order or similar remedy; and, provided, further, that, in each case set
forth above, the Executive informs the recipients that such information or communication is confidential in nature. In addition, nothing in this Agreement limits, restricts or in any other way affects the Executive’s communicating with any
governmental agency or entity, or communicating with any official or staff person of a governmental agency or entity, concerning matters relevant to the governmental agency or entity. The Executive cannot be held criminally or civilly liable under
any federal or state trade secret 

  
 11 

 
law for disclosing a trade secret (a) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting
or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (b) in a complaint or other document filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. Notwithstanding this immunity from liability, the Executive may be held liable if Executive unlawfully
accesses trade secrets by unauthorized means. 
 Section 4.02 Inventions and Patents. The Executive agrees that all Work Product
belongs to the Company. The Executive will promptly disclose such Work Product to the Board and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm such ownership (including,
without limitation, the execution and delivery of assignments, consents, powers of attorney and other instruments) and to provide reasonable assistance to the Company in connection with the prosecution of any applications for patents, trademarks,
trade names, service marks or reissues thereof or in the prosecution or defense of interferences relating to any Work Product. 

Section 4.03 Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation. The Executive acknowledges and agrees with the Company that during the course of
the Executive’s employment with the Company, the Executive will have the opportunity to develop relationships with existing employees, customers and other business associates of Ecovyst, the Company and/or their Subsidiaries (collectively, the
“Ecovyst Entities”) which relationships exist throughout the world and constitute goodwill of one or more of the Ecovyst Entities, and the Ecovyst Entities would be irreparably damaged if the Executive were to take actions that
would damage or misappropriate such goodwill. Accordingly, the Executive agrees as follows: 
 (a) The Executive acknowledges that the
Ecovyst Entities currently conduct their businesses throughout the world (the “Territory”). Accordingly, during the Executive’s employment with the Company and during the 24-month period following the Termination Date (the “Non-Compete Period”), the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly,
enter into, engage in, assist, give or lend funds to or otherwise finance, be employed by or consult with, or have a financial or other interest in, any Person that offers one or more products or services or engages in a business, in each case, that
is directly competitive with a product or service or the business of the Ecovyst Entities, as conducted or in active planning (a “Competitor”), whether for or by himself or in any other capacity. To the extent that the
covenant provided for in this Section 4.03(a) may later be deemed by a court to be too broad to be enforced with respect to its duration or with respect to any particular activity or geographic area, the court making such determination shall
have the power to reduce the duration or scope of the provision, and to add or delete specific words or phrases to or from the provision. The provision as modified shall then be enforced. Notwithstanding the foregoing restriction, it shall not be a
violation of this Section 4.03(a) for the Executive to work for a Competitor if: (i) the Executive works in a separate legal subsidiary or Affiliate that offers products or services or conducts a business, in each case, that is not
directly competitive with the Ecovyst Entities, (ii) the Executive informs Ecovyst in writing prior to accepting the position how such position complies with the terms of this subsection, and (iii) Ecovyst consents to Executive’s
employment with such entity, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

  
 12 

 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate ownership by the Executive of no more than
two percent (on a fully-diluted basis) of the outstanding equity securities of any Person, which securities are traded on a national or foreign securities exchange, quoted on the NASDAQ stock market or other automated quotation system, and which
Person competes with the Ecovyst Entities (or any part thereof) within the Territory, shall not be deemed to be a violation of Section 4.03(a). In the event that any Person in which the Executive has any financial or other interest directly or
indirectly enters into a line of business during the Non-Compete Period that competes with the Ecovyst Entities or engages in the business of the Ecovyst Entities within the Territory, the Executive shall
divest all of his interest (other than as permitted to be held pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.03(b)) in such Person within 15 days after such Person enters into such line of business that competes with the Ecovyst Entities or
engages in such business within the Territory; provided that, in the event that such equity interest is not publicly traded, the Executive will divest such interest as promptly as practicable and, pending such divestiture, will recuse himself from
any and all activities that would be in competition, whether directly or indirectly, with the Ecovyst Entities or that would otherwise be precluded under Section 4.03(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding sentence shall not
be construed as an amendment, waiver or modification to any other term or provision of this Agreement, or to any restrictive covenant or other provision contained in any agreement between the Executive, Ecovyst, the Company or any Affiliate of any
of them and in the event that the Executive does not promptly divest such interest and recuse himself from competitive activities with such non-public entity while attempting to divest his interest in such
entity or engages in any activity that would otherwise be precluded under Section 4.03(a), the Executive’s termination shall be immediately deemed a termination of employment for Cause pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

(c) The Executive covenants and agrees that during the Executive’s employment with the Company and during the 24-month period following the Termination Date, except as expressly provided herein, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, either for himself or for any other Person (i) solicit or attempt to induce
any employee or consultant of the Ecovyst Entities to terminate his employment or relationship; (ii) employ any employee or consultant of the Ecovyst Entities during the period of his employment or consulting relationship with the Ecovyst
Entities; (iii) solicit any customer of the Ecovyst Entities to purchase or distribute information, products or services of or on behalf of the Executive or such other Person that are competitive with the information, products or services
provided by the Ecovyst Entities or (iv) take any action that may cause injury to or interfere with the relationships between the Ecovyst Entities or any of their employees and any lessor, lessee, vendor, supplier, customer, distributor,
employee, consultant or other business associate of the Ecovyst Entities as such relationship relates to the Ecovyst Entities’ conduct of their businesses. 

(d) The Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit his ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the
businesses of the Ecovyst Entities, but he nevertheless believes that he has received and will receive sufficient consideration and other benefits as an employee of the Company and as otherwise provided hereunder or as described in the recitals
hereto to clearly justify such restrictions which, in any event (given his education, skills and ability), the Executive does not believe would prevent him from otherwise earning a living.

 ARTICLE V 

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 

Section 5.01 Cumulative Benefits. Except as provided in Section 3.03(b), the rights and benefits provided to the Executive
under the Agreement are in addition to and shall not be a replacement of, all of the other rights and benefits provided to such Executive under any Benefit Plan or any agreement between such Executive and the Company. 

Section 5.02 Code Section 409A. 

(a) It is intended that the payments and benefits provided under the Agreement shall be exempt from or comply with the application of the
requirements of Code Section 409A. 
 (b) This Agreement shall be construed, administered and governed in a manner that affects such
intent. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each payment made under this Agreement is intended to be a separate payment. Any taxable benefits or payments provided under the Agreement are intended to qualify for the “short-term
deferral” exception to Code Section 409A to the maximum extent possible, and to the extent they do not so qualify, are intended to qualify for the separation (severance) pay exceptions to Code Section 409A, to the maximum extent
possible. To the extent that none of these exceptions (or any other available exception) applies, then notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, and to the extent required to comply with Code Section 409A, if the Executive is a
“specified employee,” as determined by the Company in accordance with Code Section 409A, as of the Termination Date, then all amounts due under the Agreement that constitute a “deferral of compensation” within the meaning of
Code Section 409A, that are provided as a result of a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, and that would otherwise be paid or provided during the first six months following the Termination Date,
shall be accumulated through and paid or provided on the first business day that is more than six months after the date of the Termination Date (or, if the Executive dies during such six -month period, within 90 days after the Executive’s
death). In no event shall the Executive be permitted, directly or indirectly, to designate the taxable year of payment. 
 (c) With regard to
any provision herein that provides for reimbursement of costs and expenses or in-kind benefits, except as permitted by Code Section 409A: (i) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; (ii) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits,
provided during any calendar year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other calendar year; and (iii) such payments shall be made on or
before the last day of the Executive’s calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense occurred, or such earlier date as required hereunder. The payments and benefits provided under the Agreement may not be deferred, accelerated,
extended, paid out or modified in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts under Code Section 409A upon the Executive. Although the Company will use its best efforts to
avoid the imposition of taxation, interest, penalties or other monetary 

  
 14 

 
amounts under Section 409A of the Code, the tax treatment of the benefits provided under the Agreement is not warranted or guaranteed. None of the Company, Ecovyst or their Affiliates, or
their respective directors, officers, executives or advisers shall be held liable for any taxes, interest, penalties or other monetary amounts owed by the Executive (or any other individual claiming a benefit through the Executive) as a result of
the Agreement. 
 Section 5.03 No Mitigation. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided
for in the Agreement by seeking or accepting other employment following a termination of his employment with the Company or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.03, the amount of any payment provided for in the Agreement shall
not be reduced by any compensation or benefit earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer or by retirement benefits. Except as set forth in Section 5.18 or as otherwise set forth herein, the Company’s
obligations to make payments to the Executive required under the Agreement shall not be affected by any set off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action that the Company may have against such Executive. 

Section 5.04 No Employment Rights Conferred. This Agreement shall not be deemed to create a contract of employment between the
Executive and the Company and/or its Affiliates. Nothing contained in the Agreement shall (a) confer upon the Executive any right with respect to continuation of employment with the Company or (b) subject to the rights and benefits of the
Executive hereunder, interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Executive’s employment at any time and for any reason. 

Section 5.05 Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to
the fullest extent permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

Section 5.06 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and sufficient
if (i) delivered personally, (ii) delivered by certified United States Post Office mail, return receipt requested, or (iii) sent to the recipient by a nationally-recognized overnight courier service (charges prepaid) and addressed to
the intended recipient as set forth below: 
 if to the Executive, to him at his most recent address in the Company’s records,

 or such other address as the recipient party to whom notice is to be given may have furnished to the other party in writing in
accordance herewith. Any such communication shall deemed to have been delivered and received (a) in the case of personal delivery, on the date of such delivery, (b) in the case of delivery by mail, on the third business day following such
mailing, and (c) in the case of delivery by nationally-recognized, overnight courier, on the business day following dispatch. 

Section 5.07 Enforcement. Because the Executive’s services are unique and because the Executive has access to Confidential
Information and Work Product, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or
assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions
hereof (without posting a bond or other security). 
 Section 5.08 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the agreements and
documents referenced herein, including but not limited to the Benefit Plans, and the General Release and Waiver of Claims embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior or contemporaneous
understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way, including but not limited to any prior employment agreement with, or offer letter from, any
Ecovyst Entity, each of which shall terminate and be of no further force or effect as of the Effective Date of this Agreement. 

Section 5.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original
and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The parties hereto agree to accept a signed facsimile copy of this Agreement as a fully binding original. 

Section 5.10 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the Executive and the Company and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives and estate, as the case may be, provided, however, that the obligations of the Executive under this
Agreement shall not be assigned without the prior written consent of the Company. 
 Section 5.11 Amendment and Waiver. The
provisions of this Agreement may be amended and waived only with the prior written consent of the Company and the Executive, and no course of conduct or failure or delay in enforcing the provisions of this Agreement shall affect the validity,
binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

  
 16 

 Section 5.12 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. 

Section 5.13 Descriptive Headings; Nouns and Pronouns. Descriptive headings are for convenience only and shall not control or
affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall
include the plural and vice-versa. 
 Section 5.14 Taxes. The Company shall have the power to withhold, or require the Executive
to remit to the Company, as the case may be, promptly upon notification of the amount due, an amount sufficient to satisfy the amount of all Federal, state, local and foreign withholding tax requirements with respect to any payment of cash, or
issuance or delivery of any other property hereunder to the Executive or any third party, and the Company may defer any such payment of cash or issuance or delivery of such other property until such requirements are satisfied. 

Section 5.15 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. Each party certifies and acknowledges that (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that
such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (ii) each such party understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, (iii) each such party makes this waiver voluntarily, and
