Jason Industries, Inc.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following description summarizes the material terms and provisions of our common stock and preferred stock. For the complete terms of our common stock and preferred stock, please refer to our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (“certificate of incorporation”), certificate of designations, preferences and limitations for our 8.0% series A convertible perpetual preferred stock (“certificate of designations”) and bylaws. The terms of these securities may also be affected by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). The summary below is qualified in its entirety by reference to our certificate of incorporation, certificate of designations and bylaws, as such may be amended from time to time.
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 120,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 100,000 have been designated as 8.0% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “series A preferred stock”).
Common Stock
Except as otherwise required by law or as otherwise provided in any certificate of designation for any series of preferred stock, the holders of common stock possess all voting power for the election of our directors and all other matters requiring stockholder action. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on matters to be voted on by stockholders. Our board of directors is currently divided into three separate classes with each class serving a three-year term. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors. Our common stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors in its discretion out of funds legally available therefor. In no event will any stock dividends or stock splits or combinations of stock be declared or made on common stock unless the shares of common stock at the time outstanding are treated equally and identically. In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or winding-up, the holders of the common stock will be entitled to receive an equal amount per share of all of our assets of whatever kind available for distribution to stockholders, after the rights of the holders of the preferred stock have been satisfied. The shares of common stock presently outstanding are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Included in the number of shares of common stock currently outstanding are 4,906,666 “founder shares” that were issued to our initial public offering sponsor, Quinpario Partners I LLC (the “sponsor”), prior to our August 2013 initial public offering. The founder shares are identical to the other shares of our common stock, and holders of founder shares have the same stockholder rights as all other public stockholders, except that the founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, pursuant to lockup provisions in the letter agreements with us and our initial stockholders and our initial holder. Those lockup provisions currently provide that the founder shares are not transferable or salable until the date (1) with respect to one-fourth of such shares, when the closing price of our common stock exceeds $12.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following June 30, 2014; (2) with respect to one-fourth of such shares, when the closing price of our common stock exceeds $13.50 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following June 30, 2014; (3) with respect to one-fourth of such shares, when the closing price of our common stock exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following June 30, 2014; and (4) with respect to one-fourth of such shares, when the closing price of our common stock exceeds $17.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following June 30, 2014; or earlier, in any case, if we engage in a transaction after June 30, 2014 (a) resulting in our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash or other securities or (b) involving a consolidation, merger or other change in the majority of our board of directors or management team in which the company is the surviving entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the founder shares may be transferred (i) to our officers or directors or other initial stockholders, any affiliates or family members of any of our officers or directors or other initial stockholders, any members of the sponsor, or partners, affiliates or employees of the members of the sponsor, (ii) by gift to a member of the sponsor, partners, affiliates or employees of the members of the sponsor, one of our initial stockholders, an 

immediate family member of one of the members of the sponsor, to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a family member of a member of the sponsor or partners, affiliates or employees of the members of the sponsor or one of our initial stockholders, or to a charitable organization, (iii) by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of an officer or director or one of our initial stockholders, (iv) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (v) by private sales at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased, (vi) by virtue of the laws of Delaware or the sponsor’s limited liability company agreement upon dissolution of the sponsor or (vii) in the event of our consummation of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to June 30, 2014; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) through (v) these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions. The sponsor distributed certain of its founder shares in 2013 and distributed the rest of its founder shares to its members in late 2014/early 2015.
Warrants
Prior to June 30, 2019, we also had warrants outstanding that entitled the registered holder to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $12.00 per share, subject to adjustment. These warrants expired on June 30, 2019.
Preferred Stock
Our certificate of incorporation provides that shares of our preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our board of directors is able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects.
On June 30, 2014, we issued 45,000 shares of series A preferred stock. Holders of the series A preferred stock are entitled to cumulative dividends at an 8.0% dividend rate per annum payable quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of each year in cash and/or by delivery of additional shares of series A preferred stock. The Company has paid such quarterly dividends by delivery of additional shares of series A preferred stock since January 1, 2017. The series A preferred stock has no maturity date, is not redeemable by us at any time and will remain outstanding unless converted by the holders or mandatorily converted by us as described below. Holders of the series A preferred stock have the option to convert each share of series A preferred stock into approximately 81.18 shares of our common stock (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $12.32 per share), subject to certain adjustments in the conversion rate.
On January 22, 2018, certain holders of series A preferred stock exchanged 12,136 shares of series A preferred stock for 1,395,640 shares of common stock, a conversion rate of 115 shares of common stock for each share of series A preferred stock.
On or after June 30, 2016, we have the right, at our option, to cause all outstanding shares of the series A preferred stock to be automatically converted into shares of our common stock, at the then effective conversion rate, if the closing sale price of our common stock equals or exceeds 125% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days.
If we undergo certain fundamental changes (as defined in the certificate of designations) the series A preferred stock will automatically be converted into our common stock on the effective date of such fundamental change at a conversion rate (subject to specified adjustments) equal to the greater of (x) the then effective conversion rate (without giving effect to such fundamental change adjustment) and (y) the quotient of (i) the sum of the $1,000 liquidation preference plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the settlement date for such conversion, divided by (ii) the volume weighted average of the closing sale prices of our common stock for the five consecutive trading days ending on the third business day prior to such settlement date; provided that, in the case of clause (y), the prevailing conversion rate as adjusted will not exceed the conversion rate obtained by dividing the $1,000 liquidation preference by 66 2/3% of the closing sale price of our common stock on June 30, 2014, the date of the initial issuance of the series A preferred stock (the closing sales price of our common stock on June 30, 2014 was $10.49).
2

The series A preferred stock also contains limitations that prevent the holders thereof from acquiring shares of common stock upon conversion that would result in the number of shares beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 9.99% of the total number of shares of our common stock then outstanding.
Except with respect to certain material and adverse changes to the series A preferred stock as described in the certificate of designations, holders of series A preferred stock do not have voting rights and will have no right to vote for any members of our board of directors, except as may be required by the DGCL.
Neither our certificate of incorporation nor the certificate of designations prohibits us from issuing additional series of preferred stock that would rank equally to the series A preferred stock as to dividend payments and liquidation preference. The issuances of other series of preferred stock could have the effect of reducing the amounts available to the series A preferred stock in the event of our liquidation, winding-up or dissolution. It may also reduce cash dividend payments on the series A preferred stock if we do not have sufficient funds to pay dividends on all series A preferred stock outstanding and outstanding parity preferred stock.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in our management without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions include:
•no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;
•our directors serve staggered three-year terms;
•the exclusive right of our board of directors to elect a director to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death, or removal of a director, which prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors;
•the ability of our board of directors to determine whether to issue shares of our preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;
•a prohibition on stockholder action by written consent, which forces stockholder action to be taken at an annual or special meeting of our stockholders;
•the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the board of directors, the chief executive officer, or the board of directors, which may delay the ability of our stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;
•limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers;
•controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of stockholder meetings;
•providing that directors may be removed prior to the expiration of their terms by stockholders only for cause; and 
•advance notice procedures that stockholders must comply with in order to nominate candidates to our board of directors or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.
As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the DGCL, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock.

Shareholder Rights Agreement
On September 1, 2019, our board of directors adopted a shareholder rights agreement (the “rights agreement”) between us and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as rights agent. Pursuant to the rights agreement, we declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “right”) for each outstanding share of our common stock, payable to the shareholders of record on September 6, 2019. New rights will accompany any new shares of common stock issued after September 6, 2019. The rights trade with and are inseparable from our common stock and will not be evidenced by separate certificates unless they become exercisable. The rights will expire on March 1, 2021.
In general terms, the rights agreement works by imposing a significant penalty upon any person or group which acquires 30% or more of our outstanding common stock without the approval of our board of directors.
Each right will allow its holder to purchase from us one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock for $5.00, subject to adjustment as set forth in the rights agreement, once the rights become exercisable. Per the rights agreement, the rights will not be exercisable until the earlier of (1) 10 days after the public announcement that a person or group has become an Acquiring Person (as defined in the rights agreement) by obtaining beneficial ownership of 30% or more of our outstanding common stock or (2) 10 business days (or such later date as our board of directors shall determine) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person.

been delivered pursuant to Section 6.1, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with
the applicable requirements, then such provisions will be deemed to have been complied with, unless an Event of Default pursuant
to Section 8.1(a) or (f) will be continuing on the date such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated. For the avoidance of
doubt, (i) if any of such ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated
Adjusted EBITDA) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such ratios and other provisions
will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited
Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder and (ii) such ratios and compliance with such conditions will not be tested at the
time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related transactions, except that on such date an Event of Default
pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or (f) may not be continuing. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition,
then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket with respect to any other transaction on or following
the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the
date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such
Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket will be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition
Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof)
both (a) have not been consummated and (b) have been consummated until such time as the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition
has actually closed or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated or expires. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
other than in connection with the creation of an additional tranche of Revolving Commitments in connection with a Limited Condition
Acquisition as set forth in Section 2.27(a), the borrowing of any Revolving Loans in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition
shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS

 

2.1           Term Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Term Lender severally agrees to make
a Term Loan to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an amount equal to the amount of the Term Commitment of such Lender. The Term
Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative
Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.13.

 

2.2           Procedure for Term Loan Borrowing. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Notice
of Borrowing (which must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M. (a) three (3) Business Days prior to
the anticipated Closing Date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (b) one (1) Business Day prior to the anticipated Closing
Date, in the case of ABR Loans), requesting that the Term Lenders make the Term Loans on the Closing Date, specifying the amount
to be borrowed, the Type of Loan and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, specifying the length of the initial Interest Period therefor;
provided that (a) the effectiveness of such Notice of Borrowing may be conditioned on the consummation of the Acquisition and (b)
Term Loans made on the Closing Date may only consist of ABR Loans unless the Borrower delivers a funding indemnity letter, in form
and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
Upon receipt of such Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Lender thereof. Not later than
10:00 A.M. on the Closing Date, each Term Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount
in immediately available funds equal to the Term Loan or Term Loans to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall credit
the account of the Borrower on the books of such office of the Administrative Agent with the amount specified in the Notice of
Borrowing in immediately available funds or, if so specified in the Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall wire transfer
or otherwise credit all or a portion of such amount to the accounts specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

 

2.3           Repayment of Term Loans.

 

(a)            Beginning on June 30, 2020, the Term Loans extended on the Closing Date shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments
on the last day of each fiscal quarter, each of which installments shall be in an aggregate annual amount equal to (i) for the
first through fourth such fiscal quarters, 2.5%, (ii) for the fifth through sixteenth such fiscal quarters, 5.0%, and (iii) for
fiscal quarters ending thereafter, 10.0%, in each case of the original principal amount of all Term Loans extended on the Closing
Date.

 

(b)            In the event any Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans or Refinancing Term Loans are made, such Incremental Term Loans,
Extended Term Loans or Refinancing Term Loans will be repaid in such installments as may be set forth in the applicable Incremental
Joinder, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, as applicable.

 

(c)            Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b):

 

(i)                
any installment payments contemplated by clause (a) or (b) above will be reduced in the order set forth in Section 2.11
or 2.12(e), as applicable, commencing with the next-occurring installment payment in connection with any voluntary or mandatory
prepayments of the Term Loans in accordance with Sections 2.11 and 2.12, as applicable, or any Discounted Prepayments of the Term
Loans in accordance with Section 2.29 or assignments to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary made pursuant to 10.6(h);

 

    47

     

    

 

(ii)              
the rate of amortization (or the amount of any installment) with respect to any tranche of Loans may be increased (and the
provisions of Section 2.3(a) or the applicable Incremental Amendment, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment may be amended
accordingly) without the consent of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent in connection with the incurrence of any subsequent
Incremental Term Loans, Extended Term Loans or Refinancing Term Loans that also comprise part of such tranche of Loans; and

 

(iii)            
to the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date, together with
accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.

 

2.4          Revolving Commitments.

 

Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (each, a “Revolving Loan”
and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period
in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s (i) Revolving Percentage
of the aggregate outstanding amount of the Swingline Loans and (ii) L/C Exposure, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment. In addition, (i) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit shall not at any time exceed the Total Revolving
Commitments in effect at such time and (ii) borrowings under the Revolving Commitments on the Closing Date shall not exceed the
Initial Revolving Borrowing. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying
the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Revolving Loans
may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent
in accordance with Sections 2.5 and 2.13. The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Revolving
Termination Date.

 

2.5          Procedure
for Revolving Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Commitment Period on any Business
Day; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing (which must be received
by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M. (a) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date (which
may be the anticipated Closing Date with respect to the Initial Revolving Borrowing), in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or (b) one
(1) Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date (which may be the anticipated Closing Date), in the case of ABR Loans)
(provided that any such Notice of Borrowing of ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility to finance payments under Section 3.5(a)
may be given not later than 11:00 A.M. on the date of the proposed borrowing), in each such case specifying (i) the amount
and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iii) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the
respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor, and (iv) 
instructions for remittance of the proceeds of the Loans to be borrowed; provided that (a) the effectiveness of a Notice of Borrowing
delivered in advance of the anticipated Closing Date may be conditioned on the consummation of the Acquisition and (b) Revolving
Loans made on the Closing Date or any of the three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date may only consist of ABR Loans
unless the Borrower delivers a funding indemnity letter, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent,
not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the borrowing of such Revolving Loans. Each borrowing under the Revolving
Commitments shall be in minimum amounts equal to (A) $100,000 with respect to ABR Loans and (B) $1,000,000 with respect to Eurodollar
Loans, or, in each case, a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving Commitments
are less than such required minimum amount, such lesser amount); provided that the Swingline Lender may request, on behalf of
the Borrower, borrowings under the Revolving Commitments that are ABR Loans in other amounts pursuant to Section 2.7. Upon
receipt of any such Notice of Borrowing from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender

 

    48

     

    

thereof. Each Revolving Lender will make
the amount of its pro rata share of each such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at
the Funding Office prior to 12:00 P.M. on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative
Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting such account as is designated
in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower with the amount specified in the Notice of Borrowing in immediately available
funds.

 

2.6          Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make
available a portion of the credit accommodations otherwise available to the Borrower under the Revolving Commitments from time
to time during the Commitment Period by making swing line loans (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively,
the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount
of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment then in effect, (b) the Borrower shall
not request, and the Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline
Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero or an Overadvance would exist, and (c) the
Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to refinance any then outstanding Swingline Loan. During the Commitment
Period, the Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing, repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans only.

 

2.7          Procedure
for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans.

 

(a)               
Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans the Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender
irrevocable telephonic or electronic notice (which notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 12:00 P.M. on
the proposed Borrowing Date) confirmed promptly in writing by a Notice of Borrowing, specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed,
(ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Period), and (iii) instructions for
the remittance of the proceeds of such Loan. Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $100,000
or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Promptly thereafter, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect
of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Borrower an amount in immediately available funds equal to
the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by depositing such amount in the account designated in writing to the Administrative
Agent by the Borrower. Unless a Swingline Loan is sooner refinanced by the advance of a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.7(b)
(subject to Section 2.7(c)), such Swingline Loan shall be repaid by the Borrower no later than the earlier of (x) ten (10)
Business Days after the advance of such Swingline Loan and (y) the Revolving Termination Date.

 

(b)               
The Swingline Lender, at any time and from time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower
(which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), on one Business Day’s telephonic notice given
by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders no later than 12:00 P.M. and promptly confirmed in writing, request
each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loan (each a “Refunded Swingline Loan”)
outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lender. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving
Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 A.M. one
Business Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loan shall immediately be made available by the Administrative
Agent to the Swingline Lender for application by the Swingline Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loan. The Borrower
irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender with notice to the Borrower to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative
Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) immediately to pay the amount of any Refunded Swingline Loan

 

    49

     

    

 

to the extent amounts received from the
Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loan.

 

(c)               
If prior to the time that the Borrower has repaid the Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.7(a) or a Revolving
Loan has been made pursuant to Section 2.7(b), one of the events described in Section 8.1(f) shall have
occurred or if for any other reason, as determined by the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made
as contemplated by Section 2.7(b), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Loan was to have been made
pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(b) or on the date requested by the Swingline Lender (with at least
one (1) Business Days’ notice to the Revolving Lenders), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest in the then
outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”)
equal to (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans that were to have been repaid with such Revolving Loans.

 

(d)               
Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation
Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such
Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time
during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments,
to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest
on all Swingline Loans then due); provided that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required
to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the
Swingline Lender.

 

(e)               
Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to purchase participating
interests pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may
have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence of a Default
or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any
adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or
event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

 

(f)                
The Swingline Lender may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Borrower. Following such notice of resignation from the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time
by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and the successor Swingline Lender. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline Lender. From and after the effective date
of any such resignation or replacement, (i) the successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the Swingline
Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans to be made by it thereafter and (ii) references herein and in the other
Loan Documents to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Swingline
Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall require. After the resignation of the Swingline
Lender hereunder, the resigning Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations
of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to only Swingline Loans made by it prior
to such resignation that have not been repaid, but shall not be required to make any additional Swingline Loans.

 

    50

     

    

 

2.8          Overadvances.

 

(a)               
If at any time or for any reason either the aggregate amount of the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceeds the amount
of the Total Revolving Commitments then in effect, (any such excess, an “Overadvance”), the Borrower
shall, if the amount of such Overadvance is (a) equal or greater than $1,000,000, immediately pay the full amount of such
Overadvance to the Administrative Agent, on demand, or (b) less than $1,000,000, within one (1) Business Day after the
receipt of a request by the Administrative Agent therefor, pay the full amount of such Overadvance to the Administrative Agent
for application against the Revolving Extensions of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(b)               
[Reserved].

 

2.9          Fees.

 

(a)               
Fee Letter. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set
forth in the Fee Letter and to perform any other obligations contained therein.

 

(b)               
Commitment Fee. As additional compensation for the Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders, in arrears, on the first day of each quarter prior to the Revolving Termination Date and
on the Revolving Termination Date, a fee for the Borrower’s non-use of available funds in an amount equal to the Commitment
Fee Rate per annum multiplied by the difference between (x) the Total Revolving Commitments (as they may be reduced
from time to time) and (y) the average for the period of the daily closing balance of the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit
(excluding in respect of Swingline Loans).

 

(c)               
Fees Nonrefundable. Except as set forth in the Fee Letter, all fees payable under this Section 2.9 shall be
fully earned on the date paid and nonrefundable.

 

2.10        Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

 

The Borrower shall
have the right, without penalty or premium, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to
terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that
no such termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments
of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans to be made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would
exceed the Available Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof,
and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect; provided further, if in connection with any such
reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21. The Borrower shall
have the right, without penalty or premium, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to
terminate the L/C Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the L/C Commitments; provided that no such
termination or reduction of L/C Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the Total L/C Commitments shall
be reduced to an amount that would result in the aggregate L/C Exposure exceeding the Total L/C Commitments (as so reduced). Any
such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the L/C Commitments
then in effect.

 

2.11        Optional Loan Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole
or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the

 

    51

     

    

 

Administrative Agent no later than 11:00
A.M. three (3) Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and no later than 11:00 A.M. one (1) Business Day
prior thereto, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of the proposed prepayment; provided that
if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall
also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21; provided further that if such notice of prepayment indicates that
such prepayment is to be funded with the proceeds of a refinancing, such notice of prepayment may be revoked if the financing is
not consummated. Prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied to the prepayment of installments due in respect
of the Term Loans in direct order of maturity (unless otherwise directed by the Borrower), in accordance with Sections 2.3
and 2.18(b)

 

Upon receipt of any
such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (except in the case of Revolving
Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term
Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments
of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof. The foregoing provisions
set forth in this Section 2.11 will not apply with respect to any Discounted Prepayment governed by Section 2.29 or to any assignments
to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary made pursuant to 10.6(h).

 

2.12        Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(a)               
[Reserved].

 

(b)               
If any Indebtedness shall be incurred by any Group Member (excluding any Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2
(other than Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness)), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied
on the date of such incurrence toward the prepayment of the Term Loans and other amounts as set forth in Section 2.12(e).

 

(c)               
If on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment
Notice shall be delivered within three Business Days after receipt thereof, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied after such
third Business Day toward the prepayment of the Loans and other amounts as set forth in Section 2.12(e); provided
that notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount
with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Loans and other amounts as set forth
in Section 2.12(e).

 

(d)               
If, for any fiscal year of the Borrower commencing after the end of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, there shall
be Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, apply the difference of 50% of such
Excess Cash Flow minus the aggregate amount of any voluntary prepayments (including Discounted Prepayments made pursuant to Section
2.29 and assignments to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary made pursuant to 10.6(h), with the amount of such prepayment being
equal to the amount actually paid by the Borrower (or Holdings or any Subsidiary, as applicable)) of the Term Loans or to the extent
the Revolving Commitment is permanently reduced by an amount equal to such payment, any voluntary prepayments of the Revolving
Loans, made during such year; provided that such percentage shall be reduced to (i) 25% if the Consolidated Net Leverage
Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00 but greater than 2.00 to 1.00 and (ii) 0% if
the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal year is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00. Each such prepayment
shall be made on a date (each an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”) occurring no later than the earliest
of three Business Days after (i) the date on which the financial statements

 

    52

     

    

 

of Holdings referred to in Section 6.1(a),
for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is made, are required to be delivered to the Lenders, and (ii) the date
such financial statements are actually delivered.

 

(e)               
Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be applied to the prepayment
of installments due in respect of the Term Loans in direct order of maturity for the next four scheduled payments of Term Loans
required under Section 2.3, and then ratably to the remaining scheduled installments due in respect of the Term Loans in accordance
with Sections 2.3 and 2.18(b) (provided that any Term Lender may decline any such prepayment (other than any
prepayment made with the proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness) (the aggregate amount of all such prepayments declined
in connection with any particular prepayment, collectively, the “Declined Amount”), in which case the
Declined Amount shall be distributed first, to the prepayment, on a pro rata basis, of the Term Loans held by Term
Lenders that have elected to accept such Declined Amounts; second, to the extent of any residual, if no Term Loans remain
outstanding, to the prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.15(c) (with no corresponding permanent
reduction in the Revolving Commitments); third, to the extent of any residual, if no Term Loans or Revolving Loans remain
outstanding, to the deposit of an amount in cash (in an amount not to exceed 105% of the then existing L/C Exposure) in a cash
collateral account for the benefit of the L/C Lenders on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Issuing Lender; and fourth,
to the extent of any residual, retained by the Borrower. Each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 2.12 (except
in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans, in the event all Revolving Commitments have not been terminated)
shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. The Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent and each Term Lender notice of each prepayment of Term Loans in whole or in part pursuant to this Section
2.12 not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date such prepayment shall be made (each, a “Mandatory
Prepayment Date”). Such notice shall set forth (i) the Mandatory Prepayment Date, (ii) the aggregate amount of such
prepayment and (iii) the options of each Term Lender to (x) decline or accept its share of such prepayment and (y) to accept Declined
Amounts. Any Term Lender that wishes to exercise its option to decline such prepayment or to accept Declined Amounts shall notify
the Administrative Agent by facsimile not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Mandatory Prepayment Date.

 

(f)                
The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.12,
a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment
or reduction.

 

(g)               
No prepayment fee or other penalty or premium shall be payable in respect of any mandatory prepayments made pursuant to
this Section 2.12.

 

(h)               
Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 2.12 to the contrary, to the extent the Borrower determines, acting in good
faith, that any repatriation or distribution (or deemed repatriation or deemed distribution for tax purposes) to the Borrower of
Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow described in this Section 2.12 that are attributable to any Subsidiary would reasonably be
expected to result in material adverse Tax consequences to any Group Member (as determined by the Borrower in good faith), or would
be prohibited or restricted by applicable Requirements of Law, or applicable Operating Documents or material agreements of such
Subsidiary, the applicable Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow shall not be required to be so repatriated or distributed and
the relevant amounts shall not be required to be prepaid in accordance with this Section 2.12. To the extent that the relevant
adverse Tax consequences, restrictions imposed by Requirements of Law or restrictions set forth in the applicable Operating Documents
or material agreements, in each case, would no longer be applicable at any time in the twelve (12) month period following the day
that the relevant amounts would otherwise be required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Borrower shall cause such
amounts to be prepaid as and to the extent otherwise required pursuant to this Section 2.12. The Borrower will use commercially
reasonable

 

    53

     

    

 

efforts to avoid or mitigate any material
adverse Tax consequences, restrictions imposed by Requirements of Law and restrictions set forth in the applicable Operating Documents
or material agreements, in each case, that would otherwise limit an obligation of the Borrower to make a mandatory prepayment in
accordance with the terms of this Section 2.12.

 

2.13        Conversion and Continuation Options.

 

(a)               
The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior
irrevocable notice in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation of such election no later than 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day preceding
the proposed conversion date; provided that, if any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans shall occur on a date other than the last
day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.21. The Borrower
may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice
in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation of such election no later than 11:00 A.M. on the third Business Day preceding the proposed
conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor); provided that no ABR Loan may
be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon receipt of any such notice,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

 

(b)               
Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto
by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the
next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice
as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso, such Loans shall
be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

 

2.14        Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings,
conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant
to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each
Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (b) no more than seven (7)
Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

 

2.15        Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

 

(a)               
Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum
equal to (i) the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus (ii) the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans.

 

(b)               
Each ABR Loan (including any Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the ABR plus (ii) the
Applicable Margin for ABR Loans.

 

(c)               
During the continuance of an Event of Default, at the request of the Required Lenders, all overdue payments of principal
and interest on outstanding Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable
thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2.00% (the “Default Rate”); provided
that the Default Rate shall apply to such overdue

 

    54

     

    

 

amounts automatically and without any Required
Lender consent therefor upon the occurrence of any Event of Default arising under Section 8.1(a) or (f).

 

(d)               
Interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided
that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.15(c) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

 

2.16        Computation of Interest and Fees.

 

(a)               
Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed,
except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest
thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative
Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any
change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become
effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon
as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest
rate.

 

(b)               
Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be
conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the
request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining
any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.16(a).

 

2.17        Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

 

(a)           
Temporary Unavailability of LIBOR. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall
have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) in connection with any request for a Eurodollar
Loan or a conversion to or a continuation thereof that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market or the Eurodollar
Rate being otherwise unavailable, (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable
amount and Interest Period of such requested Loan or conversion or continuation, as applicable, (b) adequate and reasonable means
do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined
for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders)
of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period, then, in any such case (a), (b) or (c), the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders thereof as soon as practicable thereafter. Any such determination
shall specify the basis for such determination and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding for all purposes.
Thereafter, until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility
requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility
that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and
(z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest
Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant
Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility
to Eurodollar Loans.

 

    55

     

    

 

(b)           Successor
Eurodollar Base Rate.

 

(i)                
Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence
of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend
this Agreement to replace the Eurodollar Base 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 Borrower 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 Eurodollar Base Rate with a Benchmark
Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.17(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 will have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time
and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

 

(iii)            
Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower 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,
provided that the failure to give such notice under this clause (iv) shall not affect the commencement or conclusion of
any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders,
in each case in consultation with the Borrower, pursuant to this Section 2.17(b), including any determination with respect
to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take
or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion
and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.17(b).

 

(iv)             
Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke
any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during
such Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request
for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to
make or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended, (ii) any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar
Loans shall be ineffective and will be deemed to have been a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans, and (iii) the
component of the ABR based upon the ABR Rate will not be used in any determination of the ABR.

 

    56

     

    

 

2.18        Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

 

(a)               
Except as set forth in any Incremental Amendment, Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, each borrowing by the Borrower
from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments
shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Percentages, L/C Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case
may be, of the relevant Lenders.

 

(b)               
Except as otherwise provided herein (including as set forth in any Incremental Amendment, Extension Amendment or Refinancing
Amendment), each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans
shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term
Lenders. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

 

(c)               
Except as otherwise provided in any Extension Amendment or Refinancing Amendment, each payment (including each prepayment)
by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.

 

(d)               
Subject to Section 2.20(a), all payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on
account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff and shall be made prior to 11:00 A.M. on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute
such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent
after 11:00 A.M. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue
to accrue. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a
Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due
and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless
the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be
made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding
two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

 

(e)               
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the proposed date of any borrowing
that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date in
accordance with Section 2, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time
on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith, on demand,
such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date on which such amount is made available
to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made
by such Lender, a rate equal to the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment
to be made by the Borrower, the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility. If the Borrower and such Lender
shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable

 

    57

     

    

 

borrowing to the Administrative Agent,
then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall
be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative
Agent.

 

(f)                
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due
to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may,
in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, their respective pro rata
shares of the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing
Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed
to such Lender or Issuing Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to
it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Nothing herein shall
be deemed to limit the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

 

(g)               
If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent
because the conditions to the applicable extension of credit set forth in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 are not satisfied
or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from
such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

 

(h)               
The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to (i) make Term Loans, (ii) make Revolving Loans, (iii) fund its participations
in L/C Disbursements in accordance with its respective L/C Percentage, (iv) fund its respective Swingline Participation Amount
of any Swingline Loan, and (v) make payments pursuant to Section 9.7, as applicable, are several and not joint. The failure
of any Lender to make any such Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any such payment under Section 9.7 on any
date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment
under Section 9.7.

 

(i)                
Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner
or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place
or manner.

 

(j)                
If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of
principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest, fees, and Overadvances
then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees, and Overadvances
then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto
in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

 

(k)               
If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or
otherwise) on account of the principal of or interest on any Loan made by it, its participation in the L/C Exposure or other obligations
hereunder, as applicable (other than pursuant to a provision hereof providing for non-pro rata treatment), in excess of its Term
Percentage, Revolving Percentage or L/C Percentage, as applicable, of such payment on account of the Loans or

 

    58

     

    

 

participations obtained by all of the Lenders,
such Lender shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of the receipt of such payment, and (b) within five (5) Business
Days of such receipt purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Term Lenders, Revolving Lenders or L/C Lenders, as applicable
(through the Administrative Agent), without recourse, such participations in the Term Loans or Revolving Loans made by them and/or
participations in the L/C Exposure held by them, as applicable, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, as shall
be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the other Lenders in accordance with
their respective Term Percentages, Revolving Percentages or L/C Percentages, as applicable; provided, however, that
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender)
or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans
or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as
to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from
another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.18(k) may exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off)
with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
No documentation other than notices and the like referred to in this Section 2.18(k) shall be required to implement
the terms of this Section 2.18(k). The Administrative Agent shall keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding
in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased pursuant to this Section 2.18(k) and shall in each case
notify the Term Lenders, the Revolving Lenders or the L/C Lenders, as applicable, following any such purchase. The provisions of
this Section 2.18(k) shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant
to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of
a Defaulting Lender), (ii) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 3.10, or (iii) any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or sub-participations
in any L/C Exposure to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as to which
the provisions of this Section shall apply). The Borrower consents on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party to the foregoing
and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to
the foregoing arrangements with respect to an Obligation of the Borrower may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff
and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the
amount of such participation. For the avoidance of doubt, no amounts received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any
Guarantor that is not a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall be applied in partial or complete satisfaction of any Excluded Swap Obligations.

 

(l)                
[Reserved].

 

(m)             
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion at any time
or from time to time, without the Borrower’s request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 would not
be satisfied, make a Revolving Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to the portion of the Obligations constituting overdue interest
and fees and Swingline Loans from time to time due and payable to itself, any Revolving Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing
Lender, and apply the proceeds of any such Revolving Loan to those Obligations; provided that after giving effect to any such Revolving
Loan, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit will not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments.

 

    59

     

    

 

2.19        Illegality; Requirements of Law.

 

(a)              Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority
has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans, or to determine or charge interest
rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such
Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender
to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Loans, or to convert
ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from
such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to
ABR Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar
Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans. Upon any such prepayment
or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

 

(b)              Requirements of Law. If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the administration, interpretation,
implementation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or the making or issuance of any rule, guideline or directive
by any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

 

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

 

(ii)              
shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve
requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate); or

 

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

 

and the result of any of the foregoing
shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining Loans
determined with reference to the Eurodollar Rate or of maintaining its obligation to make such Loans, or to increase the cost to
such Lender or such other Recipient of issuing, maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation
to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum receivable or received by such Lender or
other Recipient hereunder in respect thereof (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, in any such case, upon
the request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will promptly pay such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be,
any additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph,
it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so
entitled.

 

(c)             
If any Lender determines that any change in any Requirement of Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender
or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement, the

 

    60

     

    

 

Commitments of such Lender or the Loans
made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the
Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such
change in such Requirement of Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or
the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender
or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(d)            
For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests,
rules, guidelines, or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or
directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor
or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each
case (i) and (ii) be deemed to be a change in any Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

 

(e)             
A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to paragraphs (b), (c), or (d) of this Section submitted
by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), including in reasonable detail a description of the basis
for such claim and an explanation of how such amounts were determined, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The
Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. Failure or
delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s
right to demand such compensation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19, the Borrower shall
not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19 for any amounts incurred or
reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the
Borrower of the change in the Requirement of Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s
or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such
claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.
The obligations of the Borrower arising pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall survive the Discharge of Obligations and
the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

 

2.20        Taxes.

 

For purposes of this
Section 2.20, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes
FATCA.

 

(a)             
Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan
Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law, and the Borrower shall,
and shall cause each other Loan Party to, comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 2.20. If any applicable
law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any
Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction
or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as
necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings for Indemnified
Tax applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding for Indemnified Tax been made.

 

    61

     

    

 

(b)             
Payment of Other Taxes. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, timely pay to the relevant
Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for
the payment of, any Other Taxes applicable to such Loan Party.

 

(c)             
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority
pursuant to this Section 2.20, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such other Loan Party to, deliver to the Administrative
Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the
return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(d)             
Indemnification by Loan Parties. The Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, jointly and severally
indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes
(including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20(d) (but
without duplication of any amounts compensated for by another provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document) payable or
paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto (excluding any amount of value added Tax which is recovered by such Recipient) (including any
recording and filing fees with respect thereto or resulting therefrom and any interest, penalties or similar liabilities imposed
by the applicable Governmental Authority with respect to, or resulting from, any delay in paying such Indemnified Taxes), whether
or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate
as to the amount of such payment or liability, including in reasonable detail a description of the basis for such payment or liability
and an explanation of how the amount of such payment or liability was determined, delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

 

(e)             
Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10)
days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan
Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the
Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6
relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case,
that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts
at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any
other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.20(e).

 

(f)              
Status of Lenders.

 

(i)                
Any Lender (including, solely for purposes of this Section 2.20(f), the Administrative Agent) that is entitled to
an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments
to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In

 

    62

     

    

 

addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether
or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set
forth in Sections 2.20(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B), or (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if, in the Lender’s
reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense
or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 

(ii)          
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(2)               
properly completed, valid and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form);

 

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

 

(4)               
to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, properly completed, valid and executed originals of IRS Form
W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form), a U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents
from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a

 

    63

     

    

partnership and one or more direct or indirect
partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

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

 

(D)            if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA
if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section
1471(b) or 1472(b) of the 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 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 (D), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

(iii)            
[Reserved],

 

(iv)            
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. Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no
longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted
by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose).

 

(g)             
[Reserved].

 

(h)             
Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the
payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal
to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than
any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request
of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.20(h) (plus
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20(h),
in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.20(h)
the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would
have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund

 

    64

     

    

 

had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise
imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall
not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes
that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

(i)                
Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the Discharge of Obligations.

 

2.21        Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any
loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) a default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of,
conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement, (b) a default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans
after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (c) for any reason, the making
of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans by the Borrower on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.
Such losses and expenses shall be equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount
so prepaid, or not so borrowed, reduced, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure
to borrow, reduce, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, reduce,
convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable
rate of interest or other return for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein,
if any), over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such
amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate
as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence
of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the Discharge of Obligations.

 

2.22        Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the
operation of Section 2.19(b), Section 2.19(c), Section 2.20(a), Section 2.20(b), Section
2.20(c) or Section 2.20(d) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts
(subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans
affected by such event or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if,
in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section
2.19 or 2.20, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost
or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender; provided that nothing in this Section shall affect
or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(b), Section 2.19(c),
Section 2.20(a), Section 2.20(b), Section 2.20(c) or Section 2.20(d). The Borrower hereby agrees
to pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment
made at the request of the Borrower.

 

2.23        Substitution of Lenders. Upon the receipt by the Borrower of any of the following (or in the case of clause
(a) below, if the Borrower is required to pay any such amount, regardless of whether the Lender makes a request for such payment),
with respect to any Lender (any such Lender described in clauses (a) through (c) below being referred to as an “Affected
Lender” hereunder):

 

(a)               a request from a Lender for payment of Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts under Section 2.20 or of increased
costs pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or Section 2.19(c);

 

    65

     

    

 

(b)               a
notice from the Administrative Agent under Section 10.1(b) that one or more Minority Lenders are unwilling to agree
to an amendment or other modification approved by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent; or

 

(c)               notice from the Administrative Agent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender;

 

then the Borrower may, at its sole expense
and effort, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender: (i) request that one or more of the other Lenders
acquire and assume all or part of such Affected Lender’s Loans, Commitment and all other Obligations owing to such Affected
Lender; or (ii) designate a replacement lending institution (which shall be an Eligible Assignee) to acquire and assume all or
a ratable part of such Affected Lender’s Loans, Commitment and all other Obligations owing to such Affected Lender (the replacing
Lender or lender in (i) or (ii) being a “Replacement Lender”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall
be liable for the payment upon demand of all costs and other amounts arising under Section 2.21 that result from the acquisition
of any Affected Lender’s Loan and/or Commitment (or any portion thereof) by a Lender or Replacement Lender, as the case may
be, on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loans then outstanding.
The Affected Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall be required to assign and delegate, without recourse, all
of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to one or more Replacement Lenders
that so agree to acquire and assume all or a ratable part of such Affected Lender’s Loans, Commitment and all other Obligations
owing to such Affected Lender upon payment to such Affected Lender of an amount (in the aggregate for all Replacement Lenders)
equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of the Affected Lender’s Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other Obligations payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from such Replacement Lenders (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including amounts under
Section 2.21 hereof). Any such designation of a Replacement Lender shall be effected in accordance with, and subject to
the terms and conditions of, the assignment provisions contained in Section 10.6 (with the assignment fee to be paid by
the Borrower in such instance); provided that, if such Affected Lender does not comply with Section 10.6 within ten Business
Days after the Borrower’s request, compliance with Section 10.6 shall not be required to effect such assignment, and,
if such Replacement Lender is not already a Lender hereunder or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, shall be subject
to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to any assignment pursuant to this Section 2.23, (a) in the case of any such assignment resulting
from a claim for compensation under Section 2.19 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, such assignment
shall result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (b) such assignment shall not conflict with applicable
law and (c) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender being a (i) Minority Lender referred to in clause (b) of this
Section 2.23 or (ii) a Non-Consenting Lender referred to in clause (c) of this Section 2.23, the applicable assignee
shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Affected Lender shall not
be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Affected Lender or otherwise,
the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

2.24        Defaulting Lenders.

 

(a)               Defaulting
Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

 

    66

     

    

 

(i)            Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent
with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.1 and in the definition of Required Lenders.

 

(ii)           Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8
or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7),
shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment
of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro
rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or to the Swingline Lender hereunder; third,
to be held as Cash Collateral for the funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit;
fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect
of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative
Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a Deposit Account and released
pro rata to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this
Agreement, and (y) be held as Cash Collateral for the future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation
in any future Letter of Credit; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to any L/C Lender, Issuing Lender or Swingline
Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any L/C Lender, Issuing Lender or Swingline
Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 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 eighth, to such
Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment
is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded
its appropriate share and (B) such Loans or L/C Advances were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2
were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Advances owed to, all Non-Defaulting
Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Advances owed to, such Defaulting
Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Advances and Swingline Loans are held by the
Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility without giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv).
Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed
by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.24(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and
redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(iii)         
Certain Fees.

 

(A)             
No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 2.9(b) for any period during which
such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required
to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

 

(B)             
Each Defaulting Lender shall be limited in its right to receive letter of credit fees as provided in Section 3.3(d).

 

(C)             
With respect to any letter of credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B)
above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-

 

    67

     

    

 

Defaulting Lender that portion of any such
letter of credit fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in
Letters of Credit that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the Issuing
Lender the amount of any such letter of credit fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing
Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such letter
of credit fee.

 

(iv)          Reallocation of Pro Rata Share to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender,
for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations
in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.4 or in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.7(c), the Revolving
Percentage of each Non-Defaulting Lender of any such Letter of Credit and the Revolving Percentage of each Non-Defaulting Lender
of any such Swingline Loan, as the case may be, shall be computed without giving effect to the applicable Commitment of such Defaulting
Lender; provided that, (A) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date of such reallocation,
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (B) the aggregate obligations of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire,
refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of
(1) the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Percentage
of the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit. Subject to Section 10.21, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver
or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting
Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following
such reallocation.

 

(v)           Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or
can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under
law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second,
Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.10.

 

(b)              Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender agree
in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon
as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements
with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans
of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and
funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders
in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages, L/C Percentages, and Term Percentages, as applicable (without giving
effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; 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 such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

(c)              New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender
shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect
to such Swingline Loan, and (ii) the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of
Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit after giving effect thereto.

 

    68

     

    

 

(d)              Termination
of Defaulting Lender. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender that
is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than ten Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly
notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.24(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter
paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest,
fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) on the date of such termination, no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

 

2.25        Joint and Several Liability. To the extent that any Loan Party shall, under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations made to another Loan Party hereunder or other Obligations
incurred directly and primarily by any other Loan Party (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Loan Party
making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each other
Loan Party that is a joint and several obligor in respect of the Obligations in an amount, for each of such other Loan Party, equal
to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Loan Party’s Allocable Amount
and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Loan Parties. As of any date of determination, the
 “Allocable Amount” of each Loan Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation
Payments which could be asserted against such Loan Party hereunder without (a) rendering such Loan Party “insolvent”
within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”)
or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Loan Party with
unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section
5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Loan Party unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548
of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA.

 

2.26        Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any
Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) (promptly after the Borrower’s receipt of
such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Loans.

 

2.27        Incremental Facility.

 

(a)               
At any time after the Closing Date during the Commitment Period (in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase) or any
time after the Closing Date and prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date (in the case of an Incremental Term Facility), the Borrower
may request (but subject, in each case, to the conditions set forth in clause (b) below) (x) the Revolving Commitments be
increased (or, solely in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, a separate tranche of Revolving Commitments may be created)
by an amount not to exceed the Available Incremental Amount (each such increase, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”)
and/or (y) the Lenders establish an incremental term loan facility (which may be an increase to the Term Facility) under this Agreement
in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Available Incremental Amount (each such facility, an “Incremental
Term Facility” and, together with any Revolving Commitment Increase, the “Incremental Facilities”).
No Lender shall be obligated to participate in an Incremental Facility. Any Incremental Facility shall be in an amount of at least
$10,000,000 (or, if the Available Incremental Amount is less than $10,000,000, such remaining Available Incremental Amount) and
integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Additionally, for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that
in no event shall the aggregate amount of Incremental Facilities exceed the Available Incremental Amount during the term of the
Agreement. If the Borrower incurs indebtedness under an Incremental Facility under the Fixed Incremental Amount prong of the Available
Incremental Amount on the same date that it incurs indebtedness under the Ratio Incremental

 

    69

     

    

 

Amount prong of the Available Incremental
Amount and/or that it incurs Revolving Loans, then the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio will be calculated with respect to such
incurrence under the Ratio Incremental Amount without regard to any incurrence of indebtedness under the Fixed Incremental Amount
or any incurrence of Revolving Loans. Unless the Borrower elects otherwise, each Incremental Facility will be deemed incurred first
under the Ratio Incremental Amount to the extent permitted, with the balance incurred under the Fixed Incremental Amount. The Borrower
may, in its sole discretion, at the time of incurrence of any Incremental Facility, or at any later time, divide, classify or reclassify,
any Incremental Facility incurred as Fixed Incremental Amount as an Incremental Facility incurred as Ratio Incremental Amount.

 

(b)            Each
of the following shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility:

 

(i)                
the Borrower shall have delivered an irrevocable written request to the Administrative Agent for such Incremental Facility
at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the requested effective date of such Incremental Facility (or such shorter period as agreed
to by the Administrative Agent), and promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall invite each Lender to provide
the Incremental Facility ratably in accordance with its Aggregate Exposure Percentage of each requested Incremental Facility (it
being agreed that no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Facility and that any Lender may elect to participate
in such Incremental Facility in an amount that is less than its Aggregate Exposure Percentage of such requested Incremental Facility
or more than its Aggregate Exposure Percentage of such requested Incremental Facility if other Lenders have elected not to participate
in any applicable requested Incremental Facility in accordance with their Aggregate Exposure Percentages) and to the extent five
(5) Business Days after receipt of invitation, sufficient Lenders do not agree to provide the Incremental Facility on terms acceptable
to the Borrower, then the Borrower may invite any prospective lender that satisfies the criteria of being an “Eligible Assignee”
to become a Lender in connection with the proposed Incremental Facility;

 

(ii)              
each Lender agreeing to participate in any such Incremental Facility, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have signed
an Incremental Joinder (any Incremental Joinder may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders
agreeing to such Incremental Facility, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary
or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.27) and the Borrower shall have executed any Notes requested
by any Lender in connection with the incurrence of the Incremental Facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement
or in any other Loan Document, an Incremental Joinder reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and the amendments to
this Agreement effected thereby, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Lender(s) agreeing to fund such Incremental
Facility;

 

(iii)            
subject to the provisions of Section 1.5 to the extent an LCA Election has been made with respect to any Permitted
Acquisition corresponding to the incurrence of such Incremental Facility, each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section
5.2(a) and (e) are satisfied; provided that, to the extent agreed to by the Lenders providing any such Incremental Facility,
the condition set forth in Section 5.2(a) may be satisfied with (x) the accuracy of customary “specified representations”
and “acquisition agreement representations” and (y) such other limitations or exceptions to representations and warranties
as may be agreed by the lenders providing such Incremental Facility); provided further that the condition set forth in Section
5.2(e) may be satisfied, if agreed by the lenders providing such Incremental Facility, so long as no Default or Event of Default
pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or (f) has occurred or is continuing;

 

    70

     

    

 

(iv)             
after giving pro forma effect to such Incremental Facility and the use of proceeds thereof, subject to the provisions
of Section 1.5 to the extent an LCA Election has been made with respect to any Permitted Acquisition corresponding to the
incurrence of such Incremental Facility, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the then applicable financial covenants set forth
in Section 7.1 hereof as of the end of the most recently ended quarter for which financial statements are required to be
delivered prior to the incurrence of such Incremental Facility (without netting the proceeds of such Incremental Facility from
the calculation of the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio and in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase, assuming the Revolving
Facility was fully drawn); provided that the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio shall not be greater than 0.25x less than the covenant
set forth in Section 7.1(b) for such period, and the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing compliance with the requirements of this clause
(iv) and clause (iii) above;

 

(v)              
upon the incurrence of any Revolving Commitment Increase in accordance with this Section 2.27, all outstanding Loans,
participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and participation hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each Lender shall be reallocated
among the Lenders (including any newly added Lenders) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective revised Revolving Percentages
and L/C Percentages, pursuant to procedures reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent;

 

(vi)             
any such Revolving Commitment Increase or increase to the Term Facility shall be on the same terms (including pricing and
maturity date) as, and shall be pursuant to the same documentation applicable to, the Revolving Facility or Term Facility then
in effect. as applicable;

 

(vii)           
any Incremental Term Loan Facility providing for a separate tranche of Term Loans may provide for the ability to participate
(A) on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary
prepayments of the Term Loans and (B) on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than
pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans, and, in any case, (A) no Incremental Term Loan shall have
a final maturity date earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date (but may be later), and (B) the amortization schedule of any Incremental
Term Loan shall not have a weighted average life to maturity shorter than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the
Term Loans made on the Closing Date;

 

(viii)          
any Incremental Term Loan and Revolving Commitment Increase shall rank pari passu or junior in right of security
in respect of the Collateral. No Incremental Facility will be guaranteed by any Person other than a Guarantor hereunder and shall
not be secured by any property or assets other than the Collateral;

 

(ix)             
the all-in yield (based on the interest rate and original issue discount and upfront fees, if any, but excluding other amounts,
including arrangement, commitment, structuring and underwriting fees) applicable to any Incremental Term Loan shall not be more
than 0.50% per annum higher than the corresponding all-in yield with respect to the then-existing Term Loans (measured based on
the all-in yield with respect to the Term Loans made on the Closing Date) unless the Applicable Margin with respect to the then-existing
Term Loans is increased by an amount equal to the difference between the all-in yield with respect to such Incremental Facility
and the all-in yield applicable to the then-existing Term Loans minus 0.50%; and

 

(x)               
the Borrower shall have paid all fees and expenses in connection with the exercise of the applicable Incremental Facility.

 

(c)            Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Facility, (i) in the case of a Revolving Commitment Increase, (x) all references
in this Agreement and any other Loan Document to the Revolving

 

    71

     

    

 

Commitments shall be deemed, unless the
context otherwise requires, to include such Revolving Commitment Increase advanced pursuant to this Section 2.27 and (y)
all references in this Agreement and any other Loan Document to the Revolving Commitment shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise
requires, to include the commitment to advance an amount equal to such Revolving Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section
2.27 and (ii) in the case of an Incremental Term Facility, all references in this Agreement and any other Loan Document to
the Loans and/or Lenders shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include the term loans incurred pursuant to
such Incremental Term Facility and the lenders thereunder.

 

(d)           
The Incremental Facilities established pursuant to this Section 2.27 shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded
by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from any
guarantees and the security interests created by the Loan Documents, other than in the case of an Incremental Term Facility that
is secured on a junior basis in respect of the Collateral. The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by Administrative
Agent to ensure and demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted under the Loan Documents continue to be perfected
under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such Incremental Facility, which actions may include
reaffirming Liens and entering into supplements, amendments, restatements or replacements of the Security Documents and executing
and delivering all documents, instruments and legal opinions in connection therewith reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent.

 

(e)           
Any documentation with respect to any Incremental Term Facility which differ from those with respect to the Term Loans made
on the Closing Date (except to the extent permitted hereunder) shall reflect terms and conditions at the time of issuance thereof
as determined by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it
being understood that terms differing from those with respect to the Term Loans made on the Closing Date are acceptable if (1)
the Lenders under the Term Loan Facility also receive the benefits of each term or (2) are applicable only after the Term Loan
Maturity Date).

 

2.28        Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness.

 

(a)               
Refinancing Loans. At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain (i) from any Lender or any prospective
lender Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in the form of Refinancing Loans or Refinancing Commitments, in each case pursuant
to a Refinancing Amendment or (ii) from any bank, other financial institution or institutional investor that agrees to provide
any portion of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in any other form, such other Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness,
in each case to refinance (and to reduce on a dollar-for-dollar or greater basis) all or any portion of the Loans then outstanding
under this Agreement.

 

(b)               
Refinancing Amendments. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment will be subject only to the satisfaction on
the date thereof of such of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 as may be requested by the providers of applicable
Refinancing Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment.
Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement will be deemed
amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Refinancing Loans incurred pursuant
thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Term Loans or Revolving Loans subject thereto as Refinancing Term Loans
or Refinancing Revolving Loans, respectively).

 

(c)               
Required Consents. Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any Person other than the Administrative
Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,

 

    72

     

    

 

conditioned or delayed), the Borrower and
the Persons providing the applicable Refinancing Loans, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as
may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions
of this Section 2.28. This Section 2.28 supersedes any provisions in Section 10.1 to the contrary.

 

(d)               
Other Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness. Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clause
(ii) of the definition thereof will be subject to terms and conditions as agreed by the providers of the applicable loans.

 

(e)               
Providers of Refinancing Loans. Refinancing Loans may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that
no existing Lender will have an obligation to make all or any portion of any Refinancing Loan) or by other Persons on terms permitted
by this Section 2.28; provided that the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender will have consented
(in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to any such Person’s providing Refinancing
Loans or Refinancing Commitments if such consent would be required under Section 10.6(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments
to such Person.

 

2.29        Discounted Prepayments.

 

(a)               
Generally. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing on both the date a Discounted Prepayment Notice (as defined below) is delivered to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders and the date a Discounted Prepayment (as defined below) is made (both before and after giving effect thereto),
and (ii) no proceeds of Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans are used to make any such Discounted Prepayment, the Borrower (in such
capacity, the “Discounted Prepayment Offeror”) will be permitted to (x) offer to make voluntary prepayments
of the Term Loans from internally generated funds (a “Discounted Prepayment”) on one or more occasions
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.29, and (y) make such Discounted Prepayment on one or more occasions pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 2.29 (it being understood that no Lender will have an obligation to accept a Discounted Prepayment).

 

(b)               
Procedures. In connection with any Discounted Prepayment, the Discounted Prepayment Offeror will notify the Administrative
Agent in writing (the “Discounted Prepayment Notice”) that the Discounted Prepayment Offeror desires
to prepay the Term Loans on a Business Day, in a maximum aggregate amount (which amount will be not less than $1,000,000 and whole
increments of $100,000 in excess thereof) (the “Discounted Prepayment Amount”) at a discount to par (which
will be expressed as a range of percentages of par of the principal amount of the Term Loans) specified by the Discounted Prepayment
Offeror with respect to each Discounted Prepayment (the “Discount Price Range”); provided that
(i) such notice will be received by the Administrative Agent and Lenders no earlier than 15 Business Days and no later than 5 Business
Days prior to the proposed date by which Lenders are required to respond to the Discounted Prepayment Notice if they desire to
participate (the “Discounted Prepayment Response Date”) and (ii) the offer in any such notice will be
made to all Lenders holding Term Loans (it being understood that different Discount Price Ranges may be offered with respect to
different tranches of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms
of this Section 2.29). The Administrative Agent will promptly provide each Lender of the applicable tranche(s) a copy of such Discounted
Prepayment Notice. In connection with a Discounted Prepayment, each Lender holding the Term Loans of the applicable tranche(s)
will be entitled to specify to the Administrative Agent a discount to par (which will be expressed as a price equal to a percentage
of par of the principal amount of the Term Loans held by such Lender, the “Acceptable Discount Price”)
within the Discount Price Range for a principal amount (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Administrative Agent)
of the Term Loans of the applicable tranche held by such Lender at which such Lender is willing to accept such Discounted Prepayment.
Each response by a Lender to a Discounted Prepayment Notice (x) will be due no

 

    73

     

    

 

later than 5:00 p.m. on the Discounted
Prepayment Response Date, (y) to the extent not timely received by the Administrative Agent will be disregarded and such Lender
will be deemed to have declined the Discounted Prepayment offer and (z) to the extent timely received by the Administrative Agent
will be irrevocable. The Administrative Agent will provide the Discounted Prepayment Offeror with a summary of all tenders by Lenders
in response to the Discounted Prepayment Notice and, based on the Acceptable Discount Prices and principal amounts of the Term
Loans of the applicable tranches specified by Lenders, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Discounted Prepayment
Offeror, will determine the applicable discount price (the “Applicable Discount Price”) for the applicable
Discounted Prepayment of all Loans to be prepaid in such Discounted Prepayment, which will be the lower of (i) the lowest Acceptable
Discount Price at which the Discounted Prepayment Offeror can complete the Discounted Prepayment for 100% of the Discounted Prepayment
Amount and (ii) if the Lenders’ response is such that the Discounted Prepayment could not be completed for 100% of the Discounted
Prepayment Amount, the highest Acceptable Discount Price specified by the Lenders that is within the Discount Price Range specified
by the Discounted Prepayment Offeror. The Discounted Prepayment Offeror will have the right, by written notice to the Administrative
Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Prepayment and rescind any Discounted Prepayment Notice
therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Discounted Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is
revoked or notice rescinded, any failure by the Discounted Prepayment Offeror to make a prepayment to a Lender, as applicable,
pursuant to this Section will not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.1 or otherwise).

 

(c)               
Prepayments; Application. The Discounted Prepayment Offeror will prepay the Term Loans of the applicable tranche(s)
(or the respective portion thereof) accepted by Lenders at the Acceptable Discount Prices specified by each such Lender that are
equal to or less than (expressed as a percentage of par of the principal amount of Term Loans) the Applicable Discount Price (“Qualifying
Term Loans”) at the Applicable Discount Price; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay
Qualifying Term Loans (disregarding any interest payable under this Section 2.29) would exceed the Discounted Prepayment Amount
for such Discounted Prepayment, the Discounted Prepayment Offeror will prepay such Qualifying Term Loans at the Applicable Discount
Price ratably based on the respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Term Loans (subject to rounding requirements specified
by the Administrative Agent). The portion of the Term Loans prepaid by the Discounted Prepayment Offeror pursuant to this Section
2.29 will be accompanied by payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid to, but not including,
the date of prepayment. The par principal amount of the Term Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.29 will be applied to reduce
the remaining installments of Term Loans pro rata against all such scheduled installments (including, for the avoidance
of doubt, the amount of scheduled installments owing to Lenders not prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.29). The Administrative
Agent will notify the Discounted Prepayment Offeror and the Lenders that received the applicable Discounted Prepayment Notice of
the results of the offer promptly after completion of the determinations referred to above, and the Discounted Prepayment Offeror
will make the Discounted Prepayment no later than 3 Business Days after receipt of such notice. The par principal amount of the
Term Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.29 will be deemed immediately cancelled upon payment of the applicable Discounted
Prepayment.

 

(d)               
Lender Consent. The Lenders hereby consent to the transactions described in this Section 2.29 and waive (i) the requirements
of Section 2.18 or any other requirement to the extent it would require that the Discounted Prepayment be made in respect of the
Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the Term Loans or with respect to all tranches of Term Loans, and (ii) the requirements of any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that might otherwise result in a Default or Event of Default as a result
of a Discounted Prepayment.

 

(e)               
Miscellaneous. Each Discounted Prepayment will be consummated pursuant to procedures (including as to timing, rounding
and minimum amounts, type and Interest Periods of accepted

 

    74

     

    

 

Term Loans, conditions for terminating
a Discounted Prepayment or rescinding an acceptance of prepayment, forms of other notices (including notices of offer and acceptance)
by the Discounted Prepayment Offeror and Lenders and determination of Applicable Discount Price) established by the Administrative
Agent acting in its reasonable discretion in consultation with the Discounted Prepayment Offeror. The making of a Discounted Prepayment
will be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all conditions precedent to such Discounted Prepayment
set forth in this Section 2.29 were satisfied in all respects.

 

SECTION
3

LETTERS OF CREDIT

 

3.1           L/C Commitment.

 

(a)               
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue letters of credit (“Letters of
Credit”) for the account of the Borrower (or, with the consent of the applicable Issuing Lender, any Group Member)
on any Business Day during the Letter of Credit Availability Period in such form as may reasonably be approved from time to time
by the Issuing Lender; provided that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after
giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Exposure would exceed the Total L/C Commitments at such time or the Available Revolving
Commitments would be less than zero at such time, or (ii) an Overadvance would exist at such time. Except as otherwise agreed by
the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion, each Letter of Credit shall expire no later than the
earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the Letter of Credit Maturity Date, provided that (i)
any Letter of Credit may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which, except as otherwise agreed by
the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion, shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to
in clause (y) above) and (ii) in the event that the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent agree to issue a Letter of Credit
with an expiration date that is after the Letter of Credit Maturity Date, such Letter of Credit shall be required to be Cash Collateralized
on or prior to the Letter of Credit Maturity Date in an amount equal to 105% of the L/C Exposure attributable to such Letter of
Credit in accordance with Section 3.10. Each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars, or, in the sole discretion
of the Issuing Lender with respect to any particular Letter of Credit, an alternative foreign currency. For purposes of this Agreement,
the stated amount of any Letter of Credit issued in an alternative currency shall be converted into Dollars from time to time by
the Issuing Lender and upon any drawing under such Letter of Credit. 

 

(b)           
The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if:

 

(i)                
such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any L/C Lender to exceed any limits imposed by any applicable
Requirement of Law;

 

(ii)              
any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain
the Issuing Lender from issuing, amending or reinstating such Letter of Credit, or any law, rule or regulation applicable to the
Issuing Lender or any request, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority
with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance, amendment,
renewal or reinstatement of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing
Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not
otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or
expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it;

 

    75

     

    

 

(iii)            
subject to the provisions of Section 1.5 to the extent an LCA Election has been made with respect to any acquisition
corresponding to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative
Agent or the Borrower, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or reinstatement
of such Letter of Credit, that one or more of the applicable conditions contained in Section 5.2 shall not then be
satisfied (which notice shall contain a description of any such condition asserted not to be satisfied);

 

(iv)             
any requested Letter of Credit is not in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Lender, or the issuance,
amendment or renewal of a Letter of Credit shall violate any applicable laws or regulations or any applicable policies of the Issuing
Lender;

 

(v)             
such Letter of Credit contains any provisions providing for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing
thereunder;

 

(vi)             
except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, such Letter of Credit is in an initial face
amount less than $25,000; or

 

(vii)           
any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery
of Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 3.10, satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower
or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to
Section 2.24(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to
be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other L/C Exposure as to which the Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure,
as it may elect in its sole discretion.

 

3.2          Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing
Lender issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or with the consent of the applicable Issuing Lender, any other
Group Member) by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed
to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing
Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents
and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall
promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter
of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents
and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof
or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter
of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative
Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount
thereof).

 

3.3          Fees and Other Charges.

 

(a)               
The Borrower agrees to pay, (i) with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit (including each Existing Letter of Credit),
upon the issuance or renewal thereof, a fronting fee of 0.125% of the amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit
to the Issuing Lender for its own account (a “Letter of Credit Fronting Fee”), and (ii) with respect
to each outstanding Letter of Credit (including each Existing Letter of Credit) a letter of credit fee equal to the Applicable
Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans per annum multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under
each such Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Lenders (determined in accordance with
their respective L/C Percentages) (a “Letter of Credit Fee”), payable

 

    76

     

    

 

quarterly in arrears on the last Business
Day of each quarter of each year and on the Letter of Credit Maturity Date (each, an “L/C Fee Payment Date”)
after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit, and (iii) the Issuing Lender’s standard and reasonable fees with respect
to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder (the fees in this
clause (iii), collectively, the “Issuing Lender Fees”). All Letter of Credit Fees shall be computed on the basis
of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

 

(b)               
In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary
costs and expenses as are reasonably incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under,
amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

 

(c)               
The Borrower shall furnish to the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information
pertaining to any requested Letter of Credit issuance, amendment or renewal, including any L/C-Related Documents, as the Issuing
Lender or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. This Agreement shall control in the event of any conflict with any L/C-Related
Document (other than any Letter of Credit).

 

(d)               
Any letter of credit fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit
as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.10
shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other L/C Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments
in their respective L/C Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.23(a)(iv), with the balance
of such fee, if any, payable to the Issuing Lender for its own account unless the Borrower has Cash Collateralized such Letter
of Credit pursuant to Section 3.10(a).

 

(e)               
All fees payable under this Section 3.3 shall be fully earned on the date paid and nonrefundable.

 

3.4              
L/C Participations; Existing Letters of Credit.

 

(a)               
L/C Participations. The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Lender, and, to induce
the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and
purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Lender’s own account and risk
an undivided interest equal to such L/C Lender’s L/C Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under
and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each L/C Lender agrees
with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full
by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.5(a), such L/C Lender shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing
Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Lender’s L/C Percentage of the amount of
such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Lender’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right that such L/C Lender may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever,
(ii) the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5.2,
(iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other L/C Lender, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

 

    77

     

    

 

(b)               
Existing Letters of Credit. On and after the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed for all purposes,
including for purposes of the fees to be collected pursuant to Sections 3.3(a)(ii) and 3.3(b), reimbursement of costs
and expenses to the extent provided herein and for purposes of being secured by the Collateral, a Letter of Credit outstanding
under this Agreement and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall be governed by the
applications and agreements pertaining thereto and by this Agreement (which shall control in the event of a conflict).

 

3.5          Reimbursement.

 

(a)               
If the Issuing Lender shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Issuing Lender an amount
equal to the entire amount of such L/C Disbursement not later than (i) the immediately following Business Day if the Issuing Lender
issues such notice before 11:00 A.M. on the date of such notice or (ii) on the second following Business Day if the Issuing Lender
issues such notice on or after 11:00 A.M. on the date of such L/C Disbursement. Each such payment shall be made to the Issuing
Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds; provided that the Borrower
may request that such payment be financed with a Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so
financed, the Borrower’s obligations to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Loan
or Swingline Loan.

 

(b)               
If the Issuing Lender shall not have received from the Borrower the payment that it is required to make pursuant to Section 3.5(a)
with respect to a Letter of Credit within the time specified in such Section, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Administrative
Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each L/C Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its
L/C Percentage thereof, and each L/C Lender shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for
notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Lender’s L/C Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (and the Administrative
Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose); upon such payment pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing
Lender for any L/C Disbursement, the Borrower shall be required to reimburse the L/C Lenders for such payments (including interest
accrued thereon from the date of such payment until the date of such reimbursement at the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that
are ABR Loans plus 2% per annum) on demand; provided that if at the time of and after giving effect to such payment by the
L/C Lenders, the conditions to borrowings and Revolving Loan Conversions set forth in Section 5.2 are satisfied, the
Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent certifying that such conditions are satisfied and that all interest
owing under this paragraph has been paid, request that such payments by the L/C Lenders be converted into Revolving Loans (a “Revolving
Loan Conversion”), in which case, if such conditions are in fact satisfied, the L/C Lenders shall be deemed to have extended,
and the Borrower shall be deemed to have accepted, a Revolving Loan in the aggregate principal amount of such payment without further
action on the part of any party; any amount so paid pursuant to this paragraph shall, on and after the payment date thereof, be
deemed to be Revolving Loans for all purposes hereunder; provided that the Issuing Lender, at its option, may effectuate
a Revolving Loan Conversion regardless of whether the conditions to borrowings and Revolving Loan Conversions set forth in Section 5.2
are satisfied.

 

3.6          Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute
and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower
may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees
with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall
not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, or any dispute
between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter

 

    78

     

    

 

of Credit may be transferred or any claims
whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not
be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however
transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision
of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender. The
Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the
related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower
and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower.

 

In addition to amounts
payable as elsewhere provided in the Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay and to protect, indemnify, and save Issuing Lender
harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees of one external counsel) that the Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect,
of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit, or (B) the failure of Issuing Lender or of any L/C Lender to honor a demand for payment
under any Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or
de facto government or Governmental Authority, in each case other than to the extent solely as a result of the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender or such L/C Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

 

3.7          Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the
Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility
of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition
to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including
each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such
Letter of Credit.

 

3.8          Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent
with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

 

3.9          Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit,
then, unless either the Borrower shall have reimbursed such L/C Disbursement in full within the time period specified in Section 3.5(a)
or the L/C Lenders shall have reimbursed such L/C Disbursement in full on such date as provided in Section 3.5(b),
in each case the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the account of the Issuing Lender, for each day from and including
the date of such L/C Disbursement to but excluding the date of payment by the Borrower, at the rate per annum that would apply
to such amount if such amount were a Revolving Loan that is an ABR Loan; provided that the provisions of Section 2.15(c)
shall be applicable to any such amounts not paid when due.

 

3.10        Cash Collateral.

 

(a)               
Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender (i) if the
Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C
Advance by all the L/C Lenders that is not reimbursed by the Borrower or converted into a Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan pursuant
to Section 3.5(b), or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Maturity Date, any L/C Exposure for any reason remains outstanding,
the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then effective L/C Exposure in an amount equal to 105% of
such L/C Exposure.

 

    79

     

    

 

At any time that there
shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount
sufficient to cover 105% of the Fronting Exposure relating to the Letters of Credit (after giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv)
and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).

 

(b)               
Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit)
shall be maintained in non-interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent. The Borrower, and to the extent provided
by any Lender or Defaulting Lender, such Lender or Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the L/C Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority
security interest and Lien in all such Cash Collateral and in all proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations to which such
Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 3.10(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that
Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender as herein
provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than 105% of the L/C Exposure, Fronting Exposure and other Obligations
secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative
Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency
(after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).

 

(c)               
Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under
any of this Section 3.10, Section 2.24 or otherwise in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied
to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Exposure, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral
provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was
so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

 

(d)               
Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure
in respect of Letters of Credit or other Obligations shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this
Section 3.10 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure and other Obligations giving rise thereto
(including by the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) a determination by the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (A) that Cash Collateral
furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of an Event of Default, and (B) that,
subject to Section 2.24, the Person providing such Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lender may agree that such Cash
Collateral shall not be released but instead shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations,
and provided further, that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower or any other Loan Party,
such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to any security interest and Lien granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

 

3.11        Additional Issuing Lenders. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the
Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional
Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender who shall so agree to be designated as an issuing
bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Lender” (in addition to being a Lender)
in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

3.12        Resignation of the Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days’
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. Subject to the next succeeding paragraph, upon
the acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Lender hereunder

 

    80

     

    

 

by a Lender that shall agree to serve as
successor Issuing Lender, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the
retiring Issuing Lender and the retiring Issuing Lender shall be discharged from its obligations to issue additional Letters of
Credit hereunder without affecting its rights and obligations with respect to Letters of Credit previously issued by it. At the
time such resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Section 3.3.
The acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Lender hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered
into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective
date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Lender
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than with respect to the rights of the retiring Issuing Lender with respect
to Letters of Credit issued by such retiring Issuing Lender) and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to
the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such
successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the resignation of the Issuing Lender hereunder,
the retiring Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing
Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation,
but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, renew or increase any existing Letter of Credit.

 

3.13        Applicability of UCP and ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower,
when a Letter of Credit is issued and subject to applicable laws, the Letters of Credit shall be governed by and subject to (a)
with respect to standby Letters of Credit, the rules of the ISP, and (b) with respect to commercial Letters of Credit, the
rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as published in its most recent version by the International
Chamber of Commerce on the date any commercial Letter of Credit is issued.

hereby represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as to themselves and each of their respective Subsidiaries
(and for the avoidance of doubt such representations and warranties shall be made on and as of the Closing Date, but, other than
as set forth in Section 5.1(d), the accuracy of such representations and warranties shall not constitute a condition to the effectiveness
of this Agreement and the obligation of each Lender to make the Initial Credit Extension), that:

 

4.1          Financial Condition.

 

(a)               
[Reserved].

 

(b)               
The audited consolidated balance sheets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2018 and the related consolidated
statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year ended on such date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated
financial condition of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated
cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have
been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned
firm of accountants and disclosed therein). No Group Member has, as of the Closing Date, any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent
liabilities, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign
currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent
financial statements referred to in this paragraph. During the period from December 31, 2018 to and

 

    81

     

    

including the date hereof, there has been
no Disposition by any Group Member of any material part of the business or property of the Group Members, taken as a whole.

 

4.2          No Change. Since December 31, 2018, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.3          Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) other than any Immaterial Subsidiary that is not
a Loan Party, is duly organized or incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization or incorporation, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease
the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in material compliance with all Requirements of Law except
in such instances in which (i) such Requirement of Law is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted
and the prosecution of such contest would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) the failure
to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.4          Power, Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. (a) Each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the
legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain
extensions of credit hereunder; (b) each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational or corporate action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize
the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement; (c) no material Governmental Approval or consent or authorization
of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of
credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents, except (i) Governmental Approvals, consents, authorizations, filings and notices that have been obtained or made and
are in full force and effect, (ii) the filings referred to in Section 4.19 and any other filings from time to time
required under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and (iii) routine Tax filings; (d) each Loan Document has been duly executed
and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto; (e) this Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution
will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party
in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement
is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

 

4.5          No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
the issuance of Letters of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any material Requirement
of Law (except as set forth on Schedule 4.5), its Operating Documents or any material Contractual Obligation of any
Group Member and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or
revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents).
No Group Member has violated any Requirement of Law or violated or failed to comply with any Contractual Obligation or any provision
of an Operating Document applicable to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. The violations of Requirements of Law referenced on Schedule 4.5 shall not have a material adverse
effect on any rights of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents.

 

4.6          Litigation. (a) No litigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending
or, to the knowledge of Holdings and the Borrower, threatened by or against any

 

    82

     

    

 

Group Member or against any of their respective
properties or revenues, and (b) to the knowledge of the Group Members, no investigation concerning any Group Member is pending
or threatened, in each case of (a) and (b), (i) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, or (ii) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.7          No Default. No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations
in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, nor shall either result from the making of a requested credit extension under this Agreement.

 

4.8          Ownership of Property; Liens; Investments. Each Group Member has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold
interest in, all of its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of its other property, in each
case, except as could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such property
is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 7.3. No Loan Party owns any Investment except as permitted by
Section 7.8. Section 10 of the Collateral Information Certificate sets forth a complete and accurate list
of all real property owned by each Loan Party as of the Closing Date, if any. Section 11 of the Collateral Information
Certificate sets forth a complete and accurate list of all leases of real property under which any Loan Party is the lessee as
of the Closing Date.

 

4.9          Intellectual Property. Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, to the knowledge of such Group Member,
all material Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. Except as listed on Schedule
4.9, no claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning any Group Member’s use of any
Intellectual Property or the validity of any Group Member’s Intellectual Property, nor does Holdings or the Borrower know
of any valid basis for any such claim, unless such claim could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The
use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member, and the conduct of such Group Member’s business, as currently conducted,
does not infringe on or otherwise violate the rights of any Person, unless such infringement or violation could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and there are no claims pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings and the Borrower,
threatened to such effect, unless such claim could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.10        Taxes. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all material income and all other material state
and other material tax returns that are required to be filed by it and has paid all material taxes shown to be due and payable
by it on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other material taxes, fees or other
charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority that are due and payable (other than any taxes, fees
or charges the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect
to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Group Member); no material tax Lien has
been filed on any property of a Loan Party that is still in effect (other than Liens permitted by Section 7.3(a)), and,
to the knowledge of Holdings and the Borrower, no claim is being asserted by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any such
tax, fee or other charge that is not being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings.

 

4.11        Federal Regulations. The Borrower is not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of its important
activities, in the business of “buying’ or “carrying” “margin stock” (within the respective
meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect) or extending credit for
the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder,
will be used for buying or carrying any such margin stock or for extending credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
margin stock in violation of Regulations T, U or X of the Board. If any margin stock directly or indirectly constitutes

 

    83

     

    

 

Collateral securing the Obligations, if
requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement
to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.

 

4.12        Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings and
the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees of each Group Member have not been in violation of
the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c)
all payments due from any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability
on the books of the relevant Group Member.

 

4.13        ERISA.

 

Except as, in
the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect:

 

(a)               
Each Loan Party and, to each Loan Party’s knowledge, each of its respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance in
all material respects with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA with respect to each Pension Plan, and have performed

(b)

(d)              
as of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan, the amount of outstanding benefit liabilities (as defined in

7.1          Financial Condition Covenants.

 

(a)               
Minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Commencing with the last day of the first full fiscal quarter of
Holdings ending after the Closing Date, permit the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as at the last day of any period of
four consecutive trailing fiscal quarters of Holdings, to be less than 1.25:1.00.

(c)               
Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the provisions of Section 1.5 to the extent an LCA Election has been
made with respect to such Permitted Acquisition, on not more than two occasions during the term of this Agreement, if a Permitted
Acquisition, the total consideration for which is in excess of $50,000,000 occurs during any fiscal quarter (or, in the case of
any test hereunder calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, subsequent to the last day of such period and on or prior to the date of such
test), the Borrower may elect to increase the applicable Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio covenant level by up to 0.50:1.00 for
the purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.1(b) as of the last day of each of the four fiscal quarters following
such Permitted Acquisition (or, in the case of any test hereunder calculated

 

    101

     

    

 

on a Pro Forma Basis, as of the last day
of the fiscal quarter used in calculating such test) (an “Increased Leverage Threshold Period”); provided,
further, that Borrower shall not be permitted to elect an Increased Leverage Threshold Period if, (i) at the end of either
of the two fiscal quarters preceding the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition, an Increased Leverage Threshold Period was
then in effect or (ii) the Maximum Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio during such Increased Leverage Threshold Period would exceed
4.00:1.00.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.1, in the event the Borrower fails to comply with Section 7.1(a)
and/or Section 7.1(b) as of the last day of any period of four consecutive trailing fiscal quarters of Holdings, any cash
equity contribution to the Borrower after the beginning of the applicable fiscal quarter and on or prior to the day that is ten
Business Days after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered for such fiscal quarter (the “Equity
Cure Expiration Date”) will, at the irrevocable election of the Borrower, be included in the calculation of Consolidated
Adjusted EBITDA solely for the purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.1(a) and/or Section 7.1(b) as of
such date and as of any subsequent date that includes such fiscal quarter in the applicable period of four consecutive trailing
fiscal quarters for purposes of determining compliance with Section 7.1(a) and/or Section 7.1(b) (any such equity
contribution so included in the calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, a “Specified Equity Contribution”);
provided that (i) if the Borrower has failed to comply with Section 7.1(a) and/or Section 7.1(b) as of the
last day of any period of four consecutive trailing fiscal quarters of Holdings, no Lender will be required to fund any Revolving
Loan during the ten Business Day period commencing on the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered for such
fiscal quarter and ending on the Equity Cure Expiration Date, (ii) in each consecutive four fiscal quarter period there will be
at least two fiscal quarters in which no Specified Equity Contribution is made (and no Specified Equity Contribution may be made
in consecutive Fiscal Quarters), (iii) there will be no more than five Specified Equity Contributions made in the aggregate after
the Closing Date, (iv) the amount of any Specified Equity Contribution will be no greater than the amount required to cause the
Borrower to be in compliance with the Financial Covenant, (v) all Specified Equity Contributions will be disregarded in the calculation
of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for all purposes (other than compliance with Section 7.1(a) and Section 7.1(b) (including
for subsequent fiscal quarters that include such fiscal quarter in the applicable period of four consecutive trailing fiscal quarters)),
including calculating basket levels and other items governed by reference to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, (vi) the proceeds to
the Borrower of any Specified Equity Contribution will not be given pro forma effect in any cash netting under any ratio,
or be deemed applied to reduce any debt, for the fiscal quarter with respect to which such Specified Equity Contribution is made
(but to the extent the Borrower and the Subsidiaries have such cash proceeds in the form of Unrestricted Cash at any date subsequent
to such fiscal quarter, or apply such cash proceeds to repay Indebtedness, then such cash proceeds or use thereof shall be recognized
in any such subsequent fiscal quarter) and (vii) the Borrower will not be required to repay the Loans with the proceeds of any
Specified Equity Contribution; provided that the Borrower will not be prevented from making a voluntary prepayment of the Loans
pursuant to Section 2.11 with the proceeds of any Specified Equity Contribution.

as applicable, and all amounts drawn under any such Letters of Credit shall have been reimbursed in full and all other Obligations

shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, of the funds having been so cash collateralized shall be returned to the

 

    119

     

    

 

Borrower (or such other Person as may be
lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices
of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

 

8.3          Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.2, any amounts
received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following
order:

 

First, to the

and amounts payable under Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 (including interest thereon)) payable to the Administrative
Agent, in its capacity as such;

in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

 

Third, to the
extent that the Swingline Lender has advanced any Swingline Loans that have not been refunded by each Lender’s Swingline
Participation Amount, payment to the Swingline Lender of that portion of the Obligations constituting the unpaid principal of and
interest upon the Swingline Loans advanced by the Swingline Lender;

 

Fourth, to the
payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans and

to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them;

 

Fifth, to payment
of that portion of the Obligations constituting (i) unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Disbursements which have not yet been
converted into Revolving Loans, (ii) obligations in respect of Specified Swap Agreements and (iii) obligations in respect of Cash

Last, the balance,
if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full (excluding, for this purpose, any Obligations which have
been cash collateralized in accordance with the terms hereof), to the Loan Parties or as otherwise required by Law.

 

    120

     

    

 

Subject to Sections 2.24(a),
3.4, 3.5 and 3.10, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant
to clause Sixth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains
on deposit as Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining
amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Excluded Swap Obligation of any Guarantor shall be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or from any Collateral
in which such Guarantor has granted to the Administrative Agent a Lien (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) pursuant to the
Guarantee and Collateral Agreement; provided, however, that each party to this Agreement hereby acknowledges and
agrees that appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Administrative Agent (which adjustments shall be controlling in the absence
of manifest error) with respect to payments received from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation of such payments to the
satisfaction of the Obligations in the order otherwise contemplated in this Section 8.3.

 

SECTION
9

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

9.1          Appointment and Authority.

 

(a)           Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Citizens to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto.

 

(b)           The provisions of Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing
Lender, and the Swingline Lender, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary
of any of such provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duties or obligations, except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, or any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be
read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. It is understood and agreed
that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to
the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency
doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only
an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

 

(c)           The Administrative Agent shall also act as the collateral agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in their
respective capacities as a Lender and, as applicable, Qualified Counterparty and provider of Cash Management Services) hereby irrevocably
(i) authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into all other Loan Documents, as applicable, including the Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement and any customary subordination agreements , and (ii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent
to act as the agent of the Secured Parties for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted
by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Administrative Agent, as collateral agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 9.2 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted
under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent),
shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 9

 

    121

     

    

 

and Section 10 (including Section 9.7,
as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the collateral agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth
in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent is further authorized
on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time to
take any action, or permit the any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent to take any
action, with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens
upon any Collateral granted pursuant to any Loan Document.

 

9.2          Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its
rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers
by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent
and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in
connection with the syndication of the Facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent
jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful
misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.

 

9.3          Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly
set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not:

 

(a)           be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether any Default or any Event of 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 or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed
in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein
or in the other Loan Documents), as applicable; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any
action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary
to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic
stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender
in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

 

(c)           except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and the Administrative
Agent 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 any Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

The Administrative
Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good
faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.2 and 10.1), or (ii) in the absence
of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment.

 

    122

     

    

 

The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation
made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of
the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5.1, Section 5.2
or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

 

9.4          Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not
incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing
(including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement
made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability
for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension,
renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative
Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative
Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any of the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,
accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes
unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of
Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified
to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining
from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such request and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

 

9.5          Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence
of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice in writing from a Lender, Holdings or the
Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice
of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice
thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall
be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided
for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received
such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action or refrain from taking such action
with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

 

9.6          Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither
the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,

 

    123

     

    

 

attorneys in fact or Affiliates has made
any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the
affairs of a Group Member or any Affiliate of a Group Member, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Members and their Affiliates and made its own credit analysis and decision
to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also agrees that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information
as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or
not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Members and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports
and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative
Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business,
operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Group Member or any Affiliate of
a Group Member that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys in fact or affiliates.

 

9.7          Indemnification. Each of the Lenders agrees to indemnify each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Lender and the Swingline Lender and each of its Related Parties in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Holdings,
the Borrower or any other Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of Holdings, the Borrower, or any other Loan Party to
do so) according to its Aggregate Exposure Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7
(or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been
paid in full, in accordance with its Aggregate Exposure Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever
that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative
Agent or such other Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents
or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action
taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or such other Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing and any other
amounts not reimbursed by Holdings, the Borrower or such other Loan Party; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the
payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily
from the Administrative Agent’s or such other Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and that with respect
to such unpaid amounts owed to any Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender solely in its capacity as such, only the Revolving Lenders
shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts, such payment to be made severally among them based on such Revolving Lenders’
Revolving Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought). The agreements
in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

9.8          Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have
the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or
unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as

 

    124

     

    

 

the Administrative Agent hereunder in its
individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial
advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, Holdings or any Subsidiary
or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor
to the Lenders.

 

9.9          Successor Administrative Agent.

 

(a)           The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of
any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent with an office
in the United States and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, that is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower.
If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required
Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not
be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above;
provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor
has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

 

(b)           If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the
Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such
Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor with an office in the United States.
If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
(or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then
such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

 

(c)           With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that
in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan
Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Administrative Agent is appointed and such collateral security is assigned to such successor Administrative Agent) and (ii) except
for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations
provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such
time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested
with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to
indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall
be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom
as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of Section 9 and
Section 10.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents
and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or
removed Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent.

9.10        Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

 

(a)           The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

 

(i)              to release any Lien on any Collateral or other property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document
(i) upon the Discharge of Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination
of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements have been made in accordance with this Agreement
or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender), (ii) that is sold or
otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 10.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in
writing by the Required Lenders;

 

(ii)             to subordinate any Lien on any Collateral or other property (including, without limitation, to enter into any intercreditor
agreement, subordination agreement or similar agreement) granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document
to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Sections 7.3(f), (g), (i), (m),
(n) and (t); and

 

(iii)            to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement if such Person ceases to be a
Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, in each case, as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

 

Upon request by the
Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release
or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the
guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.

 

(b)           The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or
warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative
Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative
Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything contained in any Loan Document, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon
any of the Collateral or to enforce any guaranty of the Obligations (including any such guaranty provided by the Guarantors pursuant
to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof;
provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Secured Party be restricted hereunder from filing a proof
of claim on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law or any other
judicial proceeding. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or
private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all
of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of such
Secured Party (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall
otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price
for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account
of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other
disposition. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its

 

    126

     

    

 

acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral
and of the guarantees of the Obligations provided by the Loan Parties under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, to have agreed
to the foregoing provisions. In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, no Specified Swap Agreement and no
Cash Management Agreement, the Obligations under which constitute Obligations, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of
any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the Obligations
of any Loan Party under any Loan Document except as expressly provided herein or in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement. By
accepting the benefits of the Collateral and of the guarantees of the Obligations provided by the Loan Parties under the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement, any Secured Party that is a Cash Management Bank or a Qualified Counterparty shall be deemed to have
appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and to have agreed
to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

 

9.11        Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal
of any Loan or Obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration
or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled
and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a)           to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Obligations
in respect of any Letter of Credit and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may
be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and
counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.9 and 10.5) allowed
in such judicial proceeding; and

 

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

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender
to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative
Agent under Sections 2.9 and 10.5.

 

Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize
the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 

9.12        No Other Duties, etc.. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the “Lead Arranger”
and “Joint Leader Arrangers” listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a
Lender, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder.

 

9.13        Cash Management Bank and Qualified Counterparty Reports. Each Cash Management Bank and each Qualified
Counterparty agrees to furnish to the Administrative Agent, as frequently as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, with
a summary of all Obligations in

 

    127

     

    

 

respect of Cash Management Services and/or
Specified Swap Agreements, as applicable, due or to become due to such Cash Management Bank or Qualified Counterparty, as applicable.
In connection with any distributions to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no amounts
are due to any Cash Management Bank or Qualified Counterparty (in its capacity as a Cash Management Bank or Qualified Counterparty
and not in its capacity as a Lender) unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice thereof from such Cash Management
Bank or Qualified Counterparty and if such notice is received, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the only
amounts due to such Cash Management Bank or Qualified Counterparty on account of Cash Management Services or Specified Swap Agreements
are set forth in such notice.

 

9.14          
Survival. This Section 9 shall survive the Discharge of Obligations.

 

9.15          
Certain ERISA Matters.

 

(a)               
Each Lender (1) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (2) 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 or any other Loan Party,
that at least one of the following is and will be true:

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

 

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

 

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

 

(b)       In
addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender
has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in

 

    128

     

    

accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the
immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (1) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender
party hereto, to, and (2) 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 or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender
involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of
Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative
Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

10

(a)           Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document (other than any L/C Related Document), nor any terms hereof or thereof may
be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The Required Lenders
and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements
or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive,
on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument,
any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences;
provided that, except as set forth in Section 10.1(g), no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification
shall (A) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date
of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except
that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement or waiver of any Default
or Event of Default or the right to receive interest at the Default Rate shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest
or fees for purposes of this clause (A)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend
the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Term Commitment, in each case, without the written consent of
each Lender directly affected thereby; (B) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.1
without the written consent of such Lender; (C) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent
to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the value of the guarantees (taken as
a whole) provided by the Guarantors under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all
Lenders; (D)  amend, modify or waive the pro rata requirements or order of application of payments in Section 2.18,
2.12(e), 8.3 or any other provision of the Loan Documents requiring pro rata application of proceeds to the Lenders
or setting forth the order of application of amounts to the Obligations held by the Lenders without the written consent of each
Lender and each L/C Lender; (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written consent
of the Administrative Agent; (F) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.6 or 2.7 without
the written consent of the Swingline Lender; (G) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 without the
written consent of the Issuing Lender; or (H) amend or modify the application of payments provisions set forth in Section 8.3
in a manner that adversely affects the Issuing Lender, any Cash Management Bank or any Qualified Counterparty, as applicable, without
the written consent of the Issuing Lender, such Cash Management Bank or any such Qualified Counterparty, as applicable. Any such
waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to

 

    129

     

    

 

each of the Lenders and shall be binding
upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, each Cash Management Bank, each Qualified Counterparty,
and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall
be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default
waived shall be deemed to be cured during the period such waiver is effective; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Lender
may amend any of the L/C Related Documents without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and the Issuing
Lender, Administrative Agent and the Borrower may make customary technical amendments if any Letter of Credit shall be issued hereunder
in a currency other than U.S. Dollars. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right
to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires
the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting
Lenders), except that (x) the Revolving Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent
of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that
by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent
of such Defaulting Lender.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.1(a) above, in the event that the Borrower
requests that this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents be amended or otherwise modified in a manner which would require
the consent of all of the Lenders and such amendment or other modification is agreed to by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and
the Administrative Agent, then, with the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, this Agreement
or such other Loan Document may be amended without the consent of the Lender or Lenders who are unwilling to agree to such amendment
or other modification (each, a “Minority Lender”), to provide for:

 

(i)              the termination of the Commitment of each such Minority Lender;

 

(ii)             the assumption of the Loans and Commitment of each such Minority Lender by one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to the
provisions of Section 2.23; and

 

(iii)            the payment of all interest, fees and other obligations payable or accrued in favor of each Minority Lender and such other
modifications to this Agreement or to such Loan Documents as the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders may
determine to be appropriate in connection therewith.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any Loan Document to the contrary, no amendment, supplement, modification, consent
or waiver of this Agreement or any Loan Document altering the treatment of Obligations arising under Specified Swap Agreements
or Cash Management Agreements resulting in such Obligations being subordinated to the other Obligations (other than as contemplated
by Section 8.3) or resulting in the Obligations owing to any Qualified Counterparty or Cash Management Bank becoming unsecured
(other than releases of Liens permitted in accordance with Section 10.16), shall be effective without the written consent
of such Qualified Counterparty or Cash Management Bank, as applicable.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any Cash Management Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified
by the parties thereto in accordance with the terms thereof without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

 

    130

     

    

 

(e)           Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Cash Management Bank and no Qualified
Counterparty shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider
or holder of Cash Management Services or Specified Swap Agreements or Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any
such Cash Management Bank or Qualified Counterparty, as applicable, be required for any matter, other than in their capacities
as Lenders, to the extent applicable.

 

(f)            Notwithstanding any other provision, no consent of any Lender (or other Secured Party other than the Administrative Agent)
shall be required to effectuate any amendment to implement any Incremental Facility permitted by Section 2.27, to effect
an Extension Amendment permitted by Section 10.1(i), to effect a Refinancing Amendment permitted by Section 2.28
or to effect an alternate interest rate in a manner consistent with Section 2.17.

 

(g)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower
only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to (i) cure any obvious omission, mistake or defect
or (ii) effect any changes to the terms of this Agreement in connection with the exercise of the “Market Flex” provisions
in the Fee Letter (in accordance with the terms of the Fee Letter).

 

(h)           The Fee Letter may be amended by the parties thereto without the consent of any other Person.

 

(i)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension
Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders holding Term Loans with a like maturity date or all
Lenders having Revolving Commitments with a like commitment termination date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on
the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such respective Term Loans or amounts of Revolving Commitments at such time) and
on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower may consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that
accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date and/or commitment termination of each such Lender’s
Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments, and, subject to the terms hereof, otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans and/or
Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate and/or fees
payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments (and related outstanding Revolving Loans) and/or modifying the
amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension;” and each group
of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the
original Revolving Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a separate “tranche”), so long as
the following terms are satisfied:

 

(1)              
no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing at the time the Extension Offer is delivered
to the Lenders or at the time of such Extension;

 

(2)              
except as to interest rates, fees and final commitment termination date (which will be determined by the Borrower
and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer, subject to acceptance by the applicable Lenders), the Revolving Commitment of any
Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Revolving Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended
Revolving Commitment”) and the related outstanding Revolving Loans will be a Revolving Commitment (or related outstanding
Revolving Loan, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Commitments (and related outstanding Revolving
Loans); provided that (1) the borrowing and payments

 

    131

     

    

 

(except for (A) payments of interest
and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstanding Revolving Loans), (B) repayments required
upon the commitment termination date of the non-extending tranche of Revolving Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection
with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of Revolving Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Commitments after
the applicable Extension date will be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments, (2) all Swing Line
Loans and Letters of Credit will be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments (including
Extended Revolving Commitments) in accordance with their percentage of the Revolving Commitments, (3) assignments and participations
of Extended Revolving Commitments and related Revolving Loans will be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions
applicable to the other Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and (4) at no time will there be Revolving Commitments hereunder
(including Extended Revolving Commitments and any existing Revolving Commitments) which have more than two (2) different maturity
dates;

 

(3)              
except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, and participation in prepayments (which will,
subject to the immediately succeeding clauses (4) and (5), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension
Amendment), the Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loans owed to it (an “Extended
Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) will have the
same terms as the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants or other provisions contained therein
or other provisions contained therein, in each case applicable only to periods after the maturity date of the non-extending Term
Loans);

 

(4)              
the weighted average life to maturity of any Extended Term Loans will be no shorter than the weighted average life
to maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby;

 

(5)              
any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not
greater than a pro rata basis except for prepayments with the proceeds of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness and
in respect of an earlier maturing tranche) with non-extending tranches of Term Loans in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments
hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Amendment;

 

(6)              
there will be no more than three (3) Extended Term Loan tranches at any time during the term of this Agreement; and

 

(ii)             
if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments in respect of which a Lender or Lenders
will have accepted the relevant Extension Offer will exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments
offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Commitments of such Lender
or Lenders will be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal or commitment amounts with respect
to which such Lender or Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer. With respect to all Extensions consummated by the

 

    132

     

    

 

Borrower pursuant to this Section
10.1(i), (i) such Extensions will not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Sections
2.11 or 2.12 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment. The Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swing Line Lender and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section
10.1(i) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans
and/or Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Amendment) and hereby waive the
requirements of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit or conflict with any such
Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 10.1(i).

 

(iii)           
With respect to any Extension Amendment, no consent by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or
any Swing Line Lender will be required other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one
or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving
Commitments, the consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Line Lender. All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments
and all obligations in respect thereof will be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and secured by the
same Liens on the Collateral that secure all other applicable Obligations. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative
Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower and the Loan Parties as may be
necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments so extended, on
terms consistent with this Section 10.1(i) (any such amendment, an “Extension Amendment”). In
addition, if so provided in such amendment and with the consent of the Issuing Lender, participations in Letters of Credit expiring
on or after the applicable commitment termination date will be re-allocated from Lenders holding non-extended Revolving Commitments
to Lenders holding Extended Revolving Commitments in accordance with the terms of such amendment.

 

(iv)            
In connection with any Extension, the Borrower will provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days
(or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof. This Section 10.1(i)
will supersede any provisions of this Section 10.1 or Section 2.18 or 10.7 to the contrary

 

10.2        Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall
be in writing (including by electronic mail), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly
given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of electronic
mail notice, when received, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrower, Holdings and the Administrative Agent, and as set
forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent in the case of the Lenders, or to such other address
as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

provided that any notice, request
or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall not be effective until received.

 

(a)           Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including
email and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the
foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent
and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or any Loan Party may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other
communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval
of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes,
(i) notices and other communications sent to an email address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of
an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return
email or other written acknowledgment); 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 email address as described in the foregoing clause
(i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided
that, for both clauses (i) and (ii), if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of
the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day
for the recipient.

 

    134

     

    

 

(b)           Any party hereto may change its address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

 

(c)           (i)Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications
(as defined below) available to the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on the Platform.

 

(ii)             The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not
warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty
of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, 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 or the other Loan Parties, 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, any Loan Party’s or the Administrative
Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform. “Communications” means, collectively,
any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant
to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the
Issuing Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

 

10.3        No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate
as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges
herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

10.4        Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the
other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive
the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

 

10.5        Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

 

(a)           Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements
of one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the Facilities, the preparation, negotiation,
execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any amendments, modifications or waivers
of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all
reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender (including the reasonable and documented
fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel for the Issuing Lender) in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including all reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements
of any one outside counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender) (and solely in the case of a conflict of interest notified
to the Borrower, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected parties similarly situated, taken as a whole),
in connection with the

 

    135

     

    

 

enforcement or protection of its rights
(A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in
connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued or participated in hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of
Credit.

 

(b)           Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof),
each Lender (including the Issuing Lender), and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called
an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any outside counsel
for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower or any
other Loan Party) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the
execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby,
the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including
any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection
with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or
release of Materials of Environmental Concern on or from any property owned or operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries,
or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory,
whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party
thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any Related Party, (y) arise solely
from disputes between or among Indemnitees to the extent that any such dispute did not arise due to an act or omission by Holdings
or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Administrative Agent acting in its capacity as such) or (z) result from a claim
brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee's obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment
in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Section 10.5 shall not apply with respect to
Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

 

(c)           Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails indefeasibly to pay any amount required
under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the
Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s
pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based
on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount
in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that with respect to such unpaid amounts owed to the Issuing Lender
or the Swingline Lender solely in its capacity as such, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to pay such unpaid amounts,
such payment to be made severally among them based on such Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Percentage (determined as of the
time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought); provided further, that the unreimbursed expense
or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative
Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party
of any of the foregoing

 

    136

     

    

 

acting for the Administrative Agent (or
any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders
under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Sections 2.1, 2.4 and 2.20(e).

 

(d)           Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert,
and the Borrower 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,
any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any
Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof. Absent the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnitee,
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment, no Indemnitee referred to in paragraph
(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
other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

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

 

(f)            Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the Discharge of Obligations.

 

10.6        Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

 

(a)           Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (which, for purposes of this Section 10.6, shall
include any Cash Management Bank and any Qualified Counterparty, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to
an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 10.6, (ii) by way of participation
in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest
subject to the restrictions of Section 10.6(e). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer
upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 10.6 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties
of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)           Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided
that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)            Minimum Amounts.

 

(A)             
in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans
at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined
after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the

 

    137

     

    

 

aggregate or in the case of an assignment
to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

 

(B)             
in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this
purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding
balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a “Trade Date” is specified
in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect
of the Revolving Facility, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Term Loan Facility, unless each of the
Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents
(each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(ii)           Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except
that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate
Facilities on a non-pro rata basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, commitments and obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility
and the L/C Facility shall be assigned on a pro rata basis with each other.

 

(iii)          Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B)
of this Section and, except that:

 

(A)             
the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a
Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to
a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to
any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after
having received notice thereof;

 

(B)             
the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for
assignments in respect of (i) the Revolving Facility or any unfunded Commitments with respect to the Term Loan Facility if such
assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an
Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, or (ii) any Term Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or
an Approved Fund; and

 

(C)             
the consent of the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving
Facility.

 

(iv)          Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent
may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if
it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any such administrative questionnaire as the Administrative Agent
may request.

 

(v)           No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) except as set forth in Section
10.6(h) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of
its Affiliates, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender

 

    138

     

    

 

hereunder, would constitute any of the
foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) an Excluded Lender.

 

(vi)          No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment
vehicle or trust established for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

 

(vii)         Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein,
the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient,
upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations,
or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable
pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee
and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender
to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon),
and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline
Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions
of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement
until such compliance occurs.

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19,
2.20, 2.21 and 10.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute
a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment
or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated
for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph
(d) of this Section.

 

(c)           Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at
one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation
of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing
to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.

 

    139

     

    

 

(d)           Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or
Subsidiaries, or, an Excluded Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided
that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with
such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for
the indemnities under Sections 2.20(e) and 9.7 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

 

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to
which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification
or waiver which affects such Participant and for which the consent of such Lender is required (as described in Section 10.1).
The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19 (other than Section
2.19(a)), 2.20 and 2.21 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under
Section 2.20(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(f) shall be delivered
by such Participant to the Lender granting such participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its
interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.6(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject
to the provisions of Sections 2.22 and 2.23 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.6(b); and (B) shall
not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.19 or 2.20, with respect to any participation, than
its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment
results from a change in any Requirement of Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender
that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower's request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower
to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.23 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender; provided that
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(k) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name
and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans
or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender
shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant
or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations
under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment,
loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such 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.

 

(e)           Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder
or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

    140

     

    

 

(f)            Notes. The Borrower, upon receipt by the Borrower of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes
to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in Section 10.6.

 

(g)           Representations and Warranties of Lenders. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to
an interest in the Commitments or Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the effective
date of the applicable Assignment and Assumption that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the
making of or investing in commitments, loans or investments such as the Commitments and Loans; and (iii) it will make or invest
in its Commitments and Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such
Commitments and Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or other federal securities laws (it being
understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Commitments and Loans or any
interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

 

(h)           Any Lender may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, assign all or a
portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans under this Agreement to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary
through (x) Dutch auctions open to all Lenders in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.29 or
(y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations; provided that:

 

(i)            (x) if the assignee is Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, the applicable
assignee will automatically be deemed to have contributed or transferred the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus
all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower; or (y) if the assignee is the Borrower (including through contribution
or transfers set forth in clause (x)), (a) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to the Borrower will be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the
date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of the remaining
Lenders will reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by the Borrower and (c) the Borrower will
promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative
Agent, upon receipt of such notice, will reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register; and

 

(ii)           purchases of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 10.6(h) (j) may not be funded with the proceeds of Revolving Loans.

 

10.7        Adjustments; Set-off.

 

(a)           Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the
Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall, at any time after the
Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.2, receive
any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(f), or otherwise),
in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations
owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such
portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral,
as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each
of the Lenders; provided that if all

 

    141

     

    

 

or any portion of such excess payment or
benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits
returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

 

(b)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrower and each Loan Party, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any
and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, at any time held or owing, and any
other credits, indebtedness, claims or obligations, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, its Affiliates or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit
or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower
or such other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
and although such obligations of the Borrower or such other Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch,
office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness;
provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates shall exercise any such right of setoff,
(x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with
the provisions of Section 2.24 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate
thereof from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the
Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations
owing to such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate thereof as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees to notify
the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or any of its Affiliates;
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of
each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 10.7 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of set-off) which such Lender or its Affiliates may have.

 

10.8        Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds
of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to
a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent
of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay
to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by
the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate
per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of
the preceding sentence shall survive the Discharge of Obligations.

 

10.9        Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the
interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted
by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest
in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds
such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the
Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted

 

    142

     

    

 

by applicable law, (a) characterize any
payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects
thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

10.10      Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Assignments.

 

(a)           This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and
all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature
page of this Agreement by electronic mail transmission shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart hereof.
An electronic set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent.

 

(b)           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.

 

10.11     Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.11, if and to
the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited under or
in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as
applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

 

10.12     Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of Holdings, the
Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof,
and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the
subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

 

10.13     GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE, CAUSE OF
ACTION, OR PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. This Section 10.13 shall survive the Discharge of Obligations.

 

    143

     

    

 

10.14     Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

(a)           agrees that all disputes, controversies, claims, actions and other proceedings involving, directly or indirectly, any matter
in any way arising out of, related to, or connected with, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any contemplated transactions
related hereto or thereto, or the relationship between any Loan Party, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent or any Lender
or any other Secured Party, on the other hand, and any and all other claims of any of Holdings and the Borrower against the Administrative
Agent or any Lender or any other Secured Party of any kind, shall be brought only in state courts in New York county and federal
courts in the Southern District of the State of New York; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate
to preclude the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Secured Party from bringing suit or taking other legal action in
any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other
court order in favor of Administrative Agent or such Lender or any other Secured Party. Each of Holdings and the Borrower, on behalf
of itself and each other Loan Party, (i) expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit
commenced in any such court, (ii) hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper
venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by
such court, and (iii) agrees that it shall not file any motion or other application seeking to change the venue of any such
suit or other action. Each of Holdings and the Borrower, on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party, hereby waives personal
service of any summons, complaints, and other process issued in any such action or suit and agrees that service of any such summons,
complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to the Borrower or Holdings at the addresses
set forth in Section 10.2 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to
occur of the Borrower’s or Holdings’, as applicable, actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the
U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid;

 

(b)           WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT
OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF
DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED
THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL; and

 

(c)           waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding
referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

 

This Section 10.14
shall survive the Discharge of Obligations.

 

10.15     Acknowledgements. Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

 

(a)           it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

 

(b)           none of the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to Holdings or the Borrower
arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative
Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and Holdings and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely
that of debtor and creditor; and

 

(c)           no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated
hereby among the Lenders or among Holdings, the Borrower and the Lenders.

 

    144

     

    

 

10.16     Releases of Guarantees and Liens.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby
irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by
Section 10.1) to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee
obligations (1) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that
has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1 or (2) under the circumstances described in Section 10.16(b)
below.

 

(b)           Upon the Discharge of Obligations, the Collateral (other than any cash collateral securing any Specified Swap Agreements,
any Cash Management Services or outstanding Letters of Credit) shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents
and Cash Management Agreements (other than any Cash Management Agreements used to cash collateralize any Obligations arising in
connection with Cash Management Agreements), and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination)
of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents and Cash Management Agreements (other than any Cash
Management Agreements used to cash collateralize any Obligations arising in connection with Cash Management Agreements) shall terminate,
all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

 

10.17     Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees
to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its
Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required
or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any
self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable
laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with
the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of
or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than, to an Excluded Lender), or (ii) any
actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) (other than, an Excluded Lender) to any swap, derivative or other transaction
under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on
a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating Holdings or its Subsidiaries or the Facilities or
(ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect
to the Facilities; (h) with the consent of the Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. In addition, the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders, and any of their respective Related Parties, may (A) disclose the existence of this Agreement and information
about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the
Commitments; and (B) use any information (not constituting Information subject to the foregoing confidentiality restrictions)
related to the syndication and arrangement of the credit facilities contemplated by this Agreement in connection with marketing,
press releases, or other transactional announcements or updates provided to investor or trade publications, including the placement
of “tombstone” advertisements in publications of its choice at its own expense.

 

    145

     

    

 

Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative, or other agent of any party to this Agreement)
may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to
such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any such information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure is required
to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws, rules, and regulations.

 

For purposes of this
Section, “Information” means all information received from Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries relating
to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries;
provided that, in the case of information received from Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such
information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality
of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential
information.

 

Without limiting the
foregoing, the list of Excluded Lenders may be made available to prospective Lenders and participants on a confidential basis in
connection with any bona fide assignment or participation of the Obligations or any portion thereof.

 

10.18     [Reserved].

 

10.19     Judgment Currency; Exchange Rates.

 

(a)           Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due
hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on
the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower and each other Loan Party in respect
of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall, notwithstanding
any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated
in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged
only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of
any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance
with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency
so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower or any other Loan
Party in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower and each other such Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding
any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of
the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency,
the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower or other
Loan Party, as applicable (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

 

(b)           Currency Conversion. All payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars. If any
payment by the Borrower or the proceeds of any Collateral shall be made in a currency other than the currency required hereunder,
such amount shall be converted into the currency required hereunder at the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent
or the Issuing

 

    146

     

    

 

Lender, as applicable, as the rate quoted
by it in accordance with methods customarily used by such Person for such or similar purposes as the spot rate for the purchase
by such Person of the required currency with the currency of actual payment through its principal foreign exchange trading office
(including, in the case of the Administrative Agent, any Affiliate) at approximately 11:00 A.M. (local time at such office) two
Business Days prior to the effective date of such conversion, provided that the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender,
as applicable, may obtain such spot rate from another financial institution actively engaged in foreign currency exchange if the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, does not then have a spot rate for the required currency.

 

10.20     Patriot Act. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any other party)
hereby notifies Holdings, the Borrower and each other Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements of “know your customer”
and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230, it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies Holdings, the Borrower and each other Loan Party and certain related parties thereto,
which information includes the names and addresses and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent,
as applicable, to identify Holdings, the Borrower, each other Loan Party and certain of their beneficial owners and other officers
in accordance with the Patriot Act and 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230. The Borrower, Holdings and each other Loan Party will, and
will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, provide, to the extent commercially reasonable or required by any Requirement
of Law, such information and documents and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with “know your customer” requirements
under the PATRIOT Act, 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230 or other applicable anti-money laundering laws.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(ii)           a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial
Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such
shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

 

(iii)          the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of
the applicable Resolution Authority.

 

10.22       
Acknowledgment Regarding any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through
a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC
Credit Support” and each such QFC a

 

    147

     

    

 

“Supported QFC”),
the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together
with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such
Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported
QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of
the United States):

 

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

officer with equivalent duties] of the Borrower, hereby certifies, on behalf of the Borrower and not in the undersigned’s
individual or personal capacity and without personal liability, that, to his or her knowledge, as of the Closing Date, after giving
effect to the Transactions (including the making of the Loans under the Credit Agreement on the Closing Date and the application
of the proceeds thereof):

 

		(a)	the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
on a consolidated basis, exceeds their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, on a consolidated
basis;

 

		(b)	the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability,
on a consolidated basis, of their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, on a consolidated
basis, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured;

 

		(c)	the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are
able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, on a consolidated basis, as such liabilities
become absolute and matured; and

not engaged in, and are not about to engage in, business for which they have unreasonably small capital.

 

For purposes of this
Certificate, the amount of any contingent liability at any time will be computed as the amount that would reasonably be expected
to become an actual and matured liability. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to
them in the Credit Agreement.

 

The undersigned is
familiar with the business and financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. In reaching the conclusions set forth in
this Certificate, the undersigned has made such investigations and inquiries as the undersigned has deemed appropriate, having
taken into account the nature of the business proposed to be conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries after consummation
