The Credit

 

Section 2.01           
Commitments to Lend. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make
Loans to the Borrower on the Effective Date pursuant to this subsection in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate such Lender’s
Initial Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable Joinder Agreement with
respect to the applicable Incremental Facility, each Incremental Lender under the applicable Incremental Facility severally agrees
to make a Loan to the Borrower on such applicable Incremental Commitment Effective Date in an aggregate principal amount equal
to such Incremental Lender’s Incremental Commitment under such Incremental Facility. Each Borrowing shall be made from the
applicable Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and repaid or
prepaid may not be reborrowed. Each Lender’s Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the amount of the Loans funded by
such Lender on the date of Borrowing and each Lender’s unutilized Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further
action on such date.

 

    15

     

    

 

Section 2.02           
Notice of Borrowings. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”)
not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on (x) the date of each Base Rate Borrowing and (y) the third Euro-Dollar Business
Day before each Euro-Dollar Borrowing, specifying:

 

(a)               
[Reserved];

 

(b)               
the aggregate amount of the Borrowing which shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Commitments on the date
of Borrowing;

 

(c)               
whether the Loans comprising the Borrowing are to bear interest initially at the Base Rate or a Euro-Dollar Rate; and

 

(d)               
in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions
of the definition of Interest Period.

 

Section 2.03           
Notice to Lenders; Funding of Loans.

 

(a)               
Upon receipt (or deemed receipt) of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable
Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s share of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter
be revocable by the Borrower.

 

(b)               
Not later than 1:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the date of a Borrowing, each Lender participating therein shall (or the Administrative
Agent on its behalf as provided in subsection (c) of this Section) make available its share of the Borrowing, in Federal or other
immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 9.01. Unless the Administrative
Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Section 3.03 or any applicable Joinder Agreement has not been satisfied,
the Administrative Agent will disburse the funds so received from the Lenders to an account designated by an Approved Officer of
the Borrower.

 

(c)               
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 1:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the date of
a Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of the Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such
Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.03 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, if such Lender shall not have made such payment within two Domestic
Business Days of demand therefor, the Borrower agrees 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, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of
the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.06 and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the
Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

 

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

 

    16

     

    

 

Section 2.04           
Registry; Notes.

 

(a)               
The Administrative Agent shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitment
of each Lender, each Loan made by such Lender and each repayment of any Loan made by such Lender. Any such recordation by the Administrative
Agent on the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation,
shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

 

(b)               
The Borrower hereby agrees that, promptly upon the request of any Lender at any time, the Borrower shall deliver to such
Lender a duly executed Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to such Lender or its registered assigns
as permitted pursuant to Section 9.06 and representing the obligation of the Borrower to pay the unpaid principal amount of the
Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender, with interest as provided herein on the unpaid principal amount from time to time outstanding.

 

(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 its Note, may endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate
notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure
of such Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under
the Notes. Such Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part
of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

 

Section 2.05           
Maturity of Loans. Each Loan made by any Lender shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable
together with accrued interest thereon, on the Maturity Date.

 

Section 2.06           
Interest Rates.

 

(a)               
Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan
is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day. Such interest shall be payable quarterly
in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and at maturity. Any overdue principal of or overdue interest on any Base Rate Loan shall
bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 1% plus the Base Rate for such
day.

 

(b)               
Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during each Interest
Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for such day plus the London Interbank
Offered 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.

 

The “London
Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period means, subject to the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement
in accordance with Section 8.01(b), the rate of interest per annum for U.S. dollar deposits with a maturity comparable to such
Interest Period which appears on the Bloomberg Page BBAM1 (or on such other substitute Bloomberg page that displays rates at which
U.S. dollar deposits are offered by leading banks in the London interbank deposit market), or the rate which is quoted by another
source selected by the Administrative Agent (as determined in consultation with the Borrower) as an authorized information vendor
for the purpose of displaying rates at which U.S. dollar deposits are offered by leading banks in the London interbank deposit
market, in each case at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Euro-Dollar Business Days before the first day of such Interest
Period. In the event that such rate is not so available at such time for any reason, then the “London Interbank Offered
Rate” for such Interest Period shall be the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/16 of 1%) of
the respective rates per annum at which deposits in U.S. dollars are offered to leading banks in the London interbank market at
approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Euro-Dollar Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period in an amount
approximately equal to the principal amount of the Loan of such leading banks to which such Interest Period is to apply and for
a period of time comparable to such Interest Period. If the London-Interbank Offered Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall
be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement.

 

    17

     

    

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise
specified in any amendment to this Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 8.01, in the event that a Benchmark Replacement
with respect to the London Interbank Offered Rate is implemented, then all references herein to the London Interbank Offered Rate
shall be deemed references to such Benchmark Replacement.

 

(c)               
Any overdue principal of or overdue interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each
day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal
to the sum of 1% plus the higher of (i) the sum of the Applicable Margin for such day plus the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable
to such Loan at the date such payment was due and (ii) the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day.

 

(d)               
The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent
shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the participating Lenders by facsimile of each rate of interest so determined, and
its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error unless the Borrower raises an objection thereto
within five Domestic Business Days after receipt of such notice.

 

Section 2.07           
[Reserved].

 

Section 2.08           
Method of Electing Interest Rates.

 

(a)               
The Loans included in the Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by the Borrower in the 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-Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar
Business Day; and

 

(ii)              
if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue
such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, subject to Section 2.12 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.

 

Each such election shall be made by delivering
a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern
time) on the third Euro-Dollar Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective
(or one Business Day if the conversion is from a Euro-Dollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan). 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 and (ii) the portion to which such notice applies,
and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $10,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000.

 

(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 2.08(a) above;

 

    18

     

    

 

(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-Dollar Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable thereto; and

 

(iv)             
if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar 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 the term “Interest Period”.

 

(c)               
Promptly after receiving a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection 2.08(a) above, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the
Borrower. If no Notice of Interest Rate Election is timely received prior to the end of an Interest Period for any Group of Loans,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such Group of Loans be converted to Base Rate Loans as of the last day of such
Interest Period.

 

(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 3.03.

 

Section 2.09           
[Reserved].

 

Section 2.10           
Optional Prepayments.

 

(a)               
The Borrower may (i) upon notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on any Domestic Business
Day prepay on such Domestic Business Day any Group of Base Rate Loans and (ii) upon at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days’
notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) prepay any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, in each
case in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000,
by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and together with
any additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans
of the several Lenders included in such Group or Borrowing.

 

(b)               
Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable
by the Borrower.

 

Section 2.11           
General Provisions as to Payments.

 

(a)                The
Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder, not later than 1:00 P.M.
(Eastern time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative
Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.01 and without reduction by reason of any set-off, counterclaim or deduction of
any kind. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender in like funds 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 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-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in
another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar 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.

 

    19

     

    

 

(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 the date such amount is distributed
to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

 

Section 2.12           
Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan (other than payments
made by an Assignee pursuant to Section 8.06(a) or by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.06(b) in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s
Euro-Dollar Loans) (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise) or any Euro-Dollar Loan is
converted to a Base Rate Loan or continued as a Euro-Dollar Loan for a new Interest Period (pursuant to Article 2, 6 or 8 or otherwise)
on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow, prepay, convert
or continue any Euro-Dollar Loans after notice has been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.03(a), 2.08(c) or 2.10(b),
the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an
existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), 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 setting
forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.

 

Section 2.13           
Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on clause (a) of the definition of Base Rate 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 all 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 2.14           
[Reserved].

 

Section 2.15            Regulation
D Compensation. In the event that a Lender is required to maintain reserves of the type contemplated by the definition of
“Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage”, such Lender may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each
payment of interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans, additional interest on the related Euro-Dollar Loan of such Lender at a
rate per annum determined by such Lender up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable London Interbank
Offered Rate divided by (B) one minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable London Interbank
Offered Rate. Any Lender wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, in which case such additional interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans of such Lender shall be payable to
such Lender at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least three
Euro-Dollar Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y) shall notify the Borrower at least three
Euro-Dollar Business Days prior to each date on which interest is payable on the Euro-Dollar Loans of the amount then
due it under this Section. Each such notification shall be accompanied by such information as the Borrower may reasonably
request. “Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage” means for any day, that percentage (expressed as a decimal)
which is in effect on such day, as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for
determining the maximum reserve requirement for a member bank of the Federal Reserve System in New York City with deposits
exceeding five billion dollars in respect of “Eurocurrency liabilities” (or in respect of any other
category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on Euro-Dollar Loans is
determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of
any Lender to United States residents).

Section 2.17           
Incremental Commitments.

 

(a)               
The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), request the establishment
of one or more new term loan commitments (each, an “Incremental Commitment”) pursuant to an Incremental Facility
for an aggregate amount (for all such requests) not exceeding the difference between $2,000,000,000 and the aggregate amount of
the Loans funded on the Effective Date; provided, that the aggregate amount of each such Incremental Commitment request
shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000, or the remaining unused amount of the aggregate increase permitted by this Section
2.17, if less, and integral multiples of $10,000,000 in excess thereof.

 

(b)               
An Incremental Commitment may be provided by any existing Lender or other Person that is an Assignee meeting the requirements
of Section 9.06(c) (each such existing Lender or other Person that agrees to provide an Incremental Commitment, an “Incremental
Lender”); provided that each Incremental Lender shall be subject to the consent (in each case, not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation
to agree to provide an Incremental Commitment pursuant to this Section and any election to do so shall be in the sole discretion
of such Lender.

 

(c)               
The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date for each Incremental Facility pursuant to this
Section (an “Incremental Commitment Effective Date”) and, if applicable, the final allocation of such Incremental
Commitments among the Persons providing such Incremental Facility; provided that such date shall be a Domestic Business
Day at least three Domestic Business Days after delivery of the request for such Incremental Commitments (unless otherwise approved
by the Administrative Agent) and at least 30 days prior to the Maturity Date.

 

(d)               
In order to effect any Incremental Facility, the Borrower, the applicable Incremental Lender(s) and the Administrative Agent

Borrower and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the applicable Incremental Lender(s) will provide the Incremental Commitment(s).

 

(e)               
Effective as of the applicable Incremental Commitment Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section, each Incremental Commitment shall be a Commitment and Schedule 1.01 shall be updated accordingly to reflect such Incremental
Commitment, each Incremental Lender providing such Incremental Commitment shall be, and have all the rights of, a Lender, and the
Loans made by it on such Incremental Commitment Effective Date shall be Loans, for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

(f)                
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section shall not be effective with respect
to any Incremental Lender unless:

 

(i)                
The conditions set forth in Section 3.03 have been satisfied as of the applicable Incremental Commitment Effective Date;

 

    21

     

    

 

(ii)              
the Administrative Agent shall have received one or more Joinder Agreements contemplated above, providing for Incremental
Commitments in the amount of the applicable Incremental Facility; and

the Administrative Agent shall have received such legal opinions and other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent in connection therewith.

 

As of each Incremental
Commitment Effective Date, upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the documents required by this paragraph (f), the Administrative
Agent shall record the information contained in the applicable Joinder Agreement(s) in the Register and give prompt notice of the
Incremental Commitments to the Borrower and the Lenders (including each Incremental Lender).

 

Section 2.18           
Defaulting Lenders. If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long

(a)               
[Reserved];

 

(b)               
[Reserved];

any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting
Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 6 or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times
as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

 

(i)                
first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

 

(ii)              
second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no 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;

 

(iii)            
third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata
in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement;

 

(iv)             
fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under
this Agreement;

 

(v)               
fifth, so long as no 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; and

 

(vi)              sixth,
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 in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its
appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 were satisfied or
waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to
being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro
rata in accordance with the Commitments.

 

    22

     

    

 

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts
paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section
2.18(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto; and

 

(d)               
in the event that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters
that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other
Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance
with its 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 change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver
or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

present in all material respects, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the consolidated financial position
of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for
such fiscal year.

 

(b)               
[Reserved.]

 

(c)

against, or to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened against or affecting, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any
court or arbitrator or any Governmental Authority which would be likely to be decided adversely to the Borrower or such Subsidiary
and, as a result, have a material adverse effect upon the business, consolidated financial position or results of operations of

Material Subsidiary or of the corporate or other legal existence of any such Material Subsidiary, or the change in form of organization

respects with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and requirements of Governmental Authorities (including, without
limitation, ERISA, applicable Sanctions and Anti-Corruption Laws and Environmental Laws) except where (i) noncompliance would not
have a material adverse effect on the business, financial position or results of operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated

account in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of all financial transactions in relation to its business and
activities in accordance with its customary practices; and will permit, and will cause each such Material Subsidiary to

The Administrative Agent

 

Section 7.01           
Appointment and Authorization. Each 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.

 

    32

     

    

 

Section 7.02            Administrative
Agent and Affiliates. PNC Bank, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and
may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and PNC Bank, N.A. and its
affiliates may accept deposits from, lend 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 hereunder.

 

Section 7.03           
Action by Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder are only those expressly set
forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action
with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6.

 

Section 7.04           
Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken
by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

Section 7.05           
Liability of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth herein, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any
of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action
taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence
of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their
respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify
(i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance
or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article
3, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness
of this Agreement, the Notes or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. The Administrative Agent shall
not (A) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; (B)
have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by such number or percentage of
the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take
any action that, in its good faith opinion or the opinion of its counsel, is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law; and
(C) except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon
any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, facsimile or similar writing) believed
by it in good faith to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote
any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term
is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent
contracting parties.

 

Section 7.06            Indemnification. Each
Lender shall, ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of such Lender’s unfunded Commitments and Loans
outstanding, indemnify the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed or indemnified by the
Borrower) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss, penalties or
liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitees
may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent in its
capacity as such, or by any Related Party acting for the Administrative Agent in connection with such capacity.

 

    33

     

    

 

Section 7.07

Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis

the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

 

Section 7.08           
Successor Administrative Agent.

 

(a)

resignation, (i) the Borrower, with the consent of the Required Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
or (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Required Lenders, shall have the right to appoint a 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, then the retiring Administrative Agent may,
on behalf of the 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 $250,000,000.

Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, duties and obligations of the retiring Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; provided that
if such successor Administrative Agent is appointed without the consent of the Borrower, such successor Administrative Agent may

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.

unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.

such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole

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 Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation
or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any documents related hereto).

Change in Circumstances

 

Section 8.01           
Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.

 

(a)               
Subject to clause (b) below, if on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Borrowing:

 

(i)                the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that deposits in dollars
(in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to financial institutions in general in the relevant market for such Interest
Period;

 

    35

     

    

 

(ii)              
the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable
and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Dollar Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed Euro-Dollar
Borrowing; or

 

(iii)            
Lenders having 66-2/3% or more of the aggregate amount of the affected Loans advise the Administrative Agent that the London
Interbank Offered Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders
of funding their Euro-Dollar Loans for such Interest Period,

 

the Administrative Agent shall forthwith
give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Euro-Dollar Loans or to continue or
convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted
into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the
Administrative Agent at least one Domestic Business Day before the date of any Euro-Dollar Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing
has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

 

(b)               
Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

 

(i)                
Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition
Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace
the London Interbank Offered Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event
will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed
amendment to all Lenders and the Borrowers so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of
objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election
will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written
notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the London Interbank Offered Rate with a Benchmark Replacement
pursuant to this Section 8.01(b) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

 

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

 

(iii)             Notices;
Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders
of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark
Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the
effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders
pursuant to this Section 8.01(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the
occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action,
will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from
any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 8.01(b).

 

    36

     

    

 

(iv)             
Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability
Period, (i) the Borrowers may revoke any request for a Euro-Dollar Loan of, conversion to or continuation of Euro-Dollar Loans
to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to
have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans, (ii) the obligation of the
Lenders to make or maintain Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended and (iii) the LIBOR Market Index Rate component shall no longer
be utilized in determining the Base Rate.

 

Section 8.02           
Illegality. If any Change In Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender (or its Euro-Dollar Lending
Office) to make, maintain or fund any of its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon until such Lender notifies
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation
of such Lender to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be
suspended. Before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall designate a different
Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not be otherwise disadvantageous
to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its discretion. If such notice is given, each Euro-Dollar Loan of such Lender then
outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to
such Euro-Dollar Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day or (b) immediately if such
Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loan to such day.

 

Section 8.03           
Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

 

(a)               
If any Change In Law (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance
charge or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, but excluding with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Euro-Dollar
Reserve Percentage) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its Applicable
Lending Office); (ii) shall subject any Lender or Agent to any taxes (other than (A) Taxes, (B) taxes described in clauses (ii),
(iii) or (iv) of the exclusions from the definition of Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters
of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) shall impose on any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the London interbank market any other condition, cost
or expense affecting its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Note or its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans 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-Dollar Loan (or, in
the case of an adoption or change with respect to taxes, any Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed
by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), 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 no such amount shall be payable with respect to any period commencing more than 90 days prior to the date
such Lender first notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand compensation therefor under this Section 8.03(a).

 

    37

     

    

 

(b)               
If any Lender shall have determined that any Change In Law has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
capital or liquidity of such Lender (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below
that which such Lender (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such Change In Law (taking into consideration its policies with
respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 15
days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its Parent) for such reduction; provided that no such amount shall
be payable with respect to any period commencing less than 30 days after the date such Lender first notifies the Borrower of its
intention to demand compensation under this Section 8.03(b).

 

(c)               
Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring
after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section and will 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 judgment
of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section
and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with) and any current or future regulations or official
interpretations thereof and any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes

on its income, net worth or gross receipts and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it by a jurisdiction under the laws of which
such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or in which its principal executive office is located
or, in the case of each Lender, in which its Applicable Lending Office is located, (ii) in the case of each Lender, any United
States withholding tax imposed on such payments except to the extent that (A) such Lender is subject to United States withholding
tax by reason of a U.S. Tax Law Change or (B) in the case of a Lender not listed on the signature pages hereof or a Participant,
amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable pursuant to Section 8.04 to such Lender’s assignor or to such Participant’s
participating Lender immediately before such Lender or Participant acquired the applicable interest in a Loan or Commitment; (iii)
Taxes attributable to such Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s failure to comply with Section 8.04(d) or (e) and (iv)
any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA.

Law Change” means with respect to any Lender or Participant the occurrence (x) in the case of each Lender listed on the
signature pages hereof, after the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement and (y) in the case of any other Lender,
after the date such Lender shall have become a Lender hereunder, and (z) in the case of each Participant, after the date such Participant
became a Participant hereunder, of the adoption of any applicable U.S. federal law, U.S. federal rule or U.S. federal regulation

treaty to which the United States is a party.

 

(b)               
Any and all payments by or any account of the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder
or under any Note shall be made without deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes, except as required by applicable law; provided
that if the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payments,
(i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions are made (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.04) such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case
may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or

such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto.
This indemnification shall be paid within 15 days after such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand
therefor.

 

(d)               
Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution
and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which
it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as required by law or requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) with whichever of the following is applicable
(including any successor forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service):

 

(i)

shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S.
Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

 

    39

     

    

 

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

 

(e)               
Any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction within the United States shall deliver to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying
that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

 

(f)                
If a payment made to a Lender hereunder or under any Note 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 to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for
purposes of this clause (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

(g)               
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.

 

(h)               
If a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because
of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request
to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

 

(i)                
If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 8.04,
then such Lender will take such action (including changing the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office) as in the good faith
judgment of such Lender (i) will eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is not otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender.

 

(j)                
If any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes for which the Borrower has made
a payment under Section 8.04(b) or (c) and such refund was received from the taxing authority which originally imposed such Taxes
or Other Taxes, such Lender or the Administrative Agent agrees to reimburse the Borrower to the extent of such refund; provided
that nothing contained in this paragraph (j) shall require any Lender or the Administrative Agent to seek any such refund or make
available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems to be confidential).

 

    40

     

    

 

(k)               
Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes
attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for
such 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 9.06(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any taxes excluded
from the definition of Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in
connection with this Agreement or any Note, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate
as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such
Lender hereunder or under any Note or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against
any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (k).

 

Section 8.05           
Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make or to continue
or convert outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Lender has
demanded compensation under Section 8.03(a) with respect to its Euro-Dollar Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar
Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section
shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension or demand for compensation no longer apply:

 

(a)               
all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender as (or continued as or converted to) Euro-Dollar Loans, as the
case may be, shall instead be Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related
Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Lenders), and

 

(b)               
after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay
such Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

 

If such Lender notifies the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such
Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to
the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Lenders.

 

Section 8.06           
Substitution of Lender; Termination Option. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make or to convert or continue
outstanding Loans as or into Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02, (ii) any Lender has demanded compensation
under Section 8.03 or 8.04 (including any demand made by a Lender on behalf of a Participant), (iii) [reserved], (iv) any Lender
becomes a Defaulting Lender, (v) Investment Grade Status ceases to exist as to any Lender or, (vi) for purposes of (a) below only,
any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then:

 

(a)                the
Borrower shall have the right, with the assistance of the Administrative Agent (or, if the Administrative Agent is a
Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders), to designate an Assignee (which may be one or more of the Lenders) mutually
satisfactory to the Borrower and, so long as any such Persons are not Defaulting Lenders, the Administrative Agent (whose
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to purchase for cash, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption
Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, the outstanding Loans of such Lender and assume the
Commitment of such Lender (including any Commitments and Loans that have been participated), without recourse to or warranty
by, or expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of all of such Lender’s outstanding
Loans plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and the accrued but unpaid fees in respect of such Lender’s
Commitment hereunder and all other amounts payable by the Borrower to such Lender hereunder plus such amount, if any, as
would be payable pursuant to Section 2.12 if the outstanding Loans of such Lender were prepaid in their entirety on the date
of consummation of such assignment; and

 

    41

     

    

 

(b)               
if at the time Investment Grade Status exists as to the Borrower, the Borrower may elect to terminate this Agreement as
to such Lender (including any Commitments and Loans that have been participated); provided that (i) the Borrower notifies
such Lender through the Administrative Agent (or, if the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Required Lenders) of
such election at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days before the effective date of such termination and (ii) the Borrower
repays or prepays the principal amount of all outstanding Loans made by such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon
and the accrued but unpaid fees in respect of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder plus all other amounts payable by the Borrower
to such Lender hereunder, not later than the effective date of such termination.

Section 9.01           
Notices.

 

(a)               
All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including electronic transmission,
bank wire, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (x) in the case of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, at its address or facsimile number set forth on the signature pages hereof, (y) in the case of any Lender,
at its address or facsimile number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (z) in the case of any party, such other address
or facsimile number 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 (i) if given by facsimile, when such facsimile is transmitted
to the facsimile number specified in this Section and the appropriate answerback or confirmation slip, as the case may be, is received
or (ii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices to the
Administrative Agent under Article 2 or Article 8 shall not be effective until delivered. Notices delivered through electronic
communications shall be effective as and to the extent provided in subsection (b) below.

 

(b)               
Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including
e-mail and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent or as otherwise determined
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 Section by electronic
communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its respective discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications
to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it or as it otherwise determines, provided
that such determination or approval may be limited to particular notices or communications. 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 communication is not given during
the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business
on the next Domestic Business Day or Euro-Dollar Business Day, as applicable, 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

the website address therefor.

 

    42

     

    

 

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

 

Section 9.02           
No Waivers. No failure or delay by the 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 9.03           
Expenses; Indemnification.

 

(a)               
The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, including reasonable
fees and disbursements of one special counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the preparation of this Agreement,
any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default with respect to the Borrower hereunder
and (ii) if an Event of Default with respect to the Borrower occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including reasonable fees and disbursements of one primary counsel for the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders (and (x) if necessary, a single firm of local counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in each
appropriate jurisdiction and (y) solely in the case of any actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel in
each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Persons similarly situated), in connection with such Event of Default and collection
and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

 

(b)               
The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender and the respective Related Parties of the foregoing
(each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, penalties,
damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for
all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, in the case of any actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel to each
group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with
any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) relating
to or arising out of this Agreement or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee
shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims,
damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

 

    43

     

    

 

(c)               
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any
Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby,
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in (b)
above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed
by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

Section 9.04           
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 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 held by
such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans held
by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments with respect to the
Loans held by the Lenders shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided that 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 9.05           
Amendments and Waivers.

 

(a)               
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 the Administrative Agent is affected thereby,
by the Administrative Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall (x) unless signed by each adversely affected
Lender, (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligation,
(ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan 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 interest thereon or any fees hereunder or for termination
of any Commitment, or (iv) change the provisions of Section 9.04 or of any other provision of this Agreement providing for the
ratable application of payments in respect of the Loans or (y) unless signed by all Lenders, change the definition of Required
Lenders or the provisions of this Section 9.05; provided further, that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without
the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems
appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 8.01(b) in accordance
with the terms of Section 8.01(b).

 

(b)                (i)
If any representation or warranty in Article 4 of the Master Credit Facility, any covenant in Article 5 of the Master Credit
Facility or any event of default in Article 6 of the Master Credit Facility and, in each case, any related definitions in the
Master Credit Facility, is replaced, changed, amended, modified, supplemented or removed or (ii) any Default or Event of
Default (as such terms are defined in the Master Credit Facility) is waived (any of the foregoing in clauses (i) and (ii), a
“Change”), regardless of whether the Master Credit Facility is replaced, refinanced, amended and restated,
amended, modified or supplemented and regardless of whether any such Change occurs in the corresponding article or
definitions, such Change shall be incorporated automatically into this Agreement, or in the case of a waiver will be applied
automatically to this Agreement for the corresponding Default or Event of Default occurring hereunder, upon the later of (A)
the effectiveness of such Change in the Master Credit Facility and (B) the 30th day after the Administrative Agent’s
receipt of notice from the Borrower of such Change, provided that the Required Lenders hereunder do not notify the
Borrower through the Administrative Agent within 30 days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such notice from
the Borrower of their election (which may be made in their discretion) that such Change shall not be effective with respect
to this Agreement; provided that no Change to the Master Credit Facility shall amend, waive, modify or impact the
rights or remedies of the Lenders with respect to a Default or Event of Default under Section 6.01(a) of this Agreement.

 

    44

     

    

 

Section 9.06           
Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)               
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns and each Indemnitee, except that no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders.

 

(b)               
Any Lender may, with the consent (unless an Event of Default then exists) of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a “Participant”) participating
interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans; provided that any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower,
at any time grant participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans to another Lender, an Approved Fund or an
Affiliate of such transferor Lender. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, whether
or not upon notice to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder,
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 any Lender may grant such a participating
interest shall provide that (A) such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 8.06 as if it were an Assignee under paragraph
(c) of this Section 9.06 or as if it were the Lender granting such participation and (B) 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 (x)(i), (ii) or
(iii) of Section 9.05(a) without the consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent
provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article 8 with respect to its participating interest, subject
to the performance by such Participant of the obligations of a Lender thereunder (it being understood that the documentation required
under Section 8.04 shall be delivered by the Participant to the participating Lender and the Participant agrees to be subject to
the provisions of Sections 8.04(i), 8.04(j) and 8.06 as if it were an Assignee). In addition, each Lender that sells a participation
agrees, at the Borrower’s request, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions
of Section 8.06 with respect to any Participant. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d)
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). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary 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 hereunder or under any Note (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant
Register (including the identity of any Participant (other than for the consent requirements set forth in the first sentence of
this Section 9.06(b)) or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations
hereunder or under any Note) to any Person 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.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries
in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility
for maintaining a Participant Register.

 

    45

     

    

 

(c)               
Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each an “Assignee”)
other than (w) the Borrower, (x) a Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower, (y) a Defaulting Lender or any Person who, upon becoming
a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender, or (z) a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or
trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person), all, or a proportionate part (equivalent to a Commitment
of not less than $10,000,000 (unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree)) of all, of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and its Note (if any), and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to
an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto executed by such Assignee and such
transferor Lender, with (and only with and subject to) the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that unless such assignment is of the entire right, title and interest
of the transferor Lender hereunder, after making any such assignment such transferor Lender shall have a Commitment of at least
$10,000,000 (unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree). Upon execution and delivery of such instrument
of assumption and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such
transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and
obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor Lender shall be released
from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon
the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required by the Assignee, a Note(s) is issued to the Assignee. The Assignee shall,
prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for its account, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent any certifications, forms or other documentation in accordance with Section 8.04. All assignments (other than assignments
to Affiliates) shall be subject to a transaction fee established by, and payable by the transferor Lender to, the Administrative
Agent for its own account (which shall not exceed $3,500).

 

(d)               
Any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Note (if any) to a Federal
Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder or modify any such obligations.

 

(e)               
No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Lender’s rights (including any Applicable Lending Office other
than such Lender’s initial Applicable Lending Office) shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03
or 8.04 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made
by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 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.

 

Section 9.07           
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.

 

    46

     

    

 

Section 9.08            Confidentiality. The
Administrative Agent and each Lender (i) agrees to keep any information delivered or made available by the Borrower pursuant
to this Agreement confidential from anyone other than persons employed or retained by such Lender and its Affiliates who are
engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the credit facility contemplated hereby and (ii) further
agrees on behalf of itself and, to the extent it has the power to do so, its Affiliates and agents, to keep all other
information delivered or made available to it by the Borrower or Affiliate of the Borrower for other purposes which, (x) is
marked confidential and is expressly made available subject to the terms of this section, and (y) is not otherwise subject to
a confidentiality agreement, confidential from anyone other than persons employed or retained by such Lender and its
Affiliates and agents who need to receive such information in furtherance of the engagement or matter pursuant to which the
information is provided; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender or, solely with respect to information
disclosed in a manner set forth in clauses (b) through (g) and (k) in this Section 9.08, any Affiliate of such Lender from
disclosing such information, to the extent necessary under the circumstances under which such disclosure is required, (a) to
any other Lender or the Administrative Agent, (b) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (c) upon the request
or demand of any regulatory agency or authority or self-regulatory body, (d) which had been publicly disclosed other than as
a result of a disclosure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender prohibited by this Agreement or which had already been in
the possession of any Lender or not acquired from the Borrower or persons known by the Lenders to be in breach of an
obligation of confidentiality to the Borrower, (e) in connection with any litigation to which the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or any Affiliate or their respective subsidiaries or Parent may be a party, (f) to the extent necessary in connection
with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or other engagement or matter, (g) to such Lender’s, Affiliate’s or the
Administrative Agent’s legal counsel and independent auditors, (h) subject to provisions substantially similar to those
contained in this Section 9.08, to any actual or proposed Participant or Assignee, (i) 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, (j) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the
issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the loans, (k) on a confidential basis to rating agencies in
consultation and coordination with the Borrower, (l) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense, (m)
with the consent of the Borrower and (n) on a confidential basis to any credit insurance provider requiring access to such
information in connection with credit insurance for the benefit of the disclosing Lender.

 

Section 9.09           
Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Note (if any) shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the law of the State of New York. The Borrower and each Lender Party 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 County
for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The
Borrower and each Lender Party 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. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any
other manner permitted by applicable law.

 

Section 9.10           
Counterparts; Integration. 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. Delivery of an executed signature
page of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
hereof. 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. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures
or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a
manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided
for in any Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State
Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

 

    47

     

    

 

 

Section 9.11           
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY
EFFECTIVELY DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, 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 9.12           
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 “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 Act.

 

Section 9.13            
[Reserved].

 

Section 9.14           
No Fiduciary Duty. The Borrower agrees that in connection with all aspects of the Loans contemplated by this Agreement
and any communications in connection therewith, (i) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and their respective 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 Lenders or their respective affiliates,
and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications and (ii) the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that
differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to
disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

 

Section 9.15           
Survival. Each party’s rights and obligations under Articles 7, 8 and 9 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 hereunder or under any Note and the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.16           
Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, any Note 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 this Agreement or any Note, to the extent such liability
is unsecured, 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 undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such
shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under
this Agreement or any Note; or

 

    48

     

    

 

    (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 9.17           
Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent this Agreement provides support, through a guarantee
or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”
and, each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution
power of the FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect
of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and
any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any
other state of the United States):

 

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

 

(b)               
As used in this Section 9.17, the following terms have the following meanings:

 

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

 

“Covered Entity”
means any of the following:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

NOTE

 

New York, New York

______ __, 20__

For value received,
Duke Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to [LENDER] (the “Lender”)
or its registered assigns, for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by the
Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement referred to below on the date specified in the Credit Agreement. The Borrower
promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each such Loan on the dates and at the rate or rates provided for in
the Credit Agreement. All such payments of principal and interest shall be made in lawful money of the United States in Federal
or other immediately available funds at the office of PNC Bank, N.A.

 

All Loans made by the
Lender, the respective types and maturities thereof and all repayments of the principal thereof shall be recorded by the Lender,
and the Lender, if the Lender so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, may endorse on the schedule
attached hereto appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to the Loans then outstanding; provided
that the failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder
or under the Credit Agreement.

 

This note is one of
the Notes referred to in the Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of March 19, 2020 by and among Duke Energy Corporation, the Lenders
party thereto and PNC Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).
Terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein with the same meanings. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement for provisions
for the prepayment hereof and the acceleration of the maturity hereof.

ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

 

AGREEMENT dated as
of _________, 20__ among [ASSIGNOR] (the “Assignor”), [ASSIGNEE] (the “Assignee”), [DUKE
ENERGY CORPORATION] and PNC BANK, N.A.,
as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H

 

WHEREAS, this Assignment
and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) relates to the Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of March 19, 2020
by and among Duke Energy Corporation, the Assignor and the other Lenders party thereto, as Lenders and the Administrative Agent
(the “Credit Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, as provided
under the Credit Agreement, the Assignor has a Commitment to make Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any
time outstanding not to exceed $__________;

 

WHEREAS, Loans made
to the Borrower by the Assignor under the Credit Agreement in the aggregate principal amount of $__________ are outstanding at
the date hereof; and

 

WHEREAS, the Assignor
proposes to assign to the Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement in respect of a portion of its
[Commitment /outstanding Loan] thereunder in an amount equal to $__________ (the “Assigned Amount”), and the
Assignee proposes to accept assignment of such rights and assume the corresponding obligations from the Assignor on such terms;*

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section
1.               
Definitions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth
in the Credit Agreement.

 

Section
2.              
Assignment. The Assignor hereby assigns and sells to the Assignee all of the rights of the Assignor under
the Credit Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Amount, and the Assignee hereby accepts such assignment from the Assignor and
assumes all of the obligations of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement to the extent of the Assigned Amount, including the
purchase from the Assignor of the corresponding portion of the principal amount of the Loans made by the Assignor outstanding
at the date hereof. Upon the execution and delivery hereof by the Assignor, the Assignee [, Duke Energy Corporation] and the Administrative
Agent, and the payment of the amounts specified in Section 3 required to be paid on the date hereof (i) the Assignee shall, as
of the date hereof, succeed to the rights and be obligated to perform the obligations of a Lender under the Credit Agreement with
a Commitment in an amount equal to the Assigned Amount, and (ii) the Commitment of the Assignor shall, as of the date hereof,
be reduced by a like amount and the Assignor released from its obligations under the Credit Agreement to the extent such obligations
have been assumed by the Assignee. The assignment provided for herein shall be without recourse to the Assignor.

 

Section
3.               
Payments. As consideration for the assignment and sale contemplated in Section 2 hereof, the Assignee shall
pay to the Assignor on the date hereof in Federal funds the amount heretofore agreed between them.1
Each of the Assignor and the Assignee hereby agrees that if it receives any amount under the Credit Agreement which
is for the account of the other party hereto, it shall receive the same for the account of such other party to the extent of such
other party’s interest therein and shall promptly pay the same to such other party.

 

 

 

1
Amount should combine principal together with accrued interest and breakage compensation, if any, to be paid by the
Assignee. It may be preferable in an appropriate case to specify these amounts generically or by formula rather than as a fixed
sum.

    D-1

     

    

 

Section
4.              
Consent to Assignment. This Agreement is conditioned upon the consent of [Duke Energy Corporation,] and the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.06(c) of the Credit Agreement. The execution of this Agreement by [Duke Energy Corporation,]
and the Administrative Agent is evidence of this consent. Pursuant to Section 9.06(c) the Borrower agrees to execute and deliver
a Note, if required by the Assignee, payable to the order of the Assignee to evidence the assignment and assumption provided for
herein.

 

Section
5.              
Non-reliance on Assignor. The Assignor makes no representation or warranty in connection with, and shall
have no responsibility with respect to, the solvency, financial condition, or statements of the Borrower, or the validity and
enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Credit Agreement or any Note. The Assignee acknowledges that
it has, independently and without reliance on the Assignor, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and will continue to be responsible for making its own
independent appraisal of the business, affairs and financial condition of the Borrower.

 

Section
