    FIRST AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

    

    

    This FIRST AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) dated as of August 30, 2022, is made among NEW JERSEY RESOURCES CORPORATION, a New Jersey corporation (the “Borrower”), each of the Guarantors signatory hereto, PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its capacity as administrative
      agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and each of the Lenders signatory hereto.  Each capitalized term used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment has
      the definition specified in the Amended Credit Agreement described below.

     

    RECITALS:

    

    

    A.          The Borrower, the Guarantors, the
          Administrative Agent and the Lenders have entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 2, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof,
          the “Existing Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have made available to the Borrower a revolving credit facility.

     

    B.           The Borrower has requested that the
          Administrative Agent and the Lenders amend the Existing Credit Agreement in such a manner that, upon giving effect to such amendments, the Existing Credit Agreement as so amended would contain the terms, covenants, conditions and other provisions
          as contained in the form set forth as Annex A to this Amendment (the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, the “Amended Credit
              Agreement”).

     

    C.          The Administrative Agent and each Lender
          signatory hereto are willing to so amend the Existing Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

     

    In consideration of the premises and further valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
      agree as follows:

     

    1.            Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties made herein,

     

    (a)        The Existing Credit Agreement (other
          than the annexes, schedules and the exhibits attached thereto) is hereby amended so that, as amended, it shall read as set forth in, and shall have the terms, covenants, conditions and other provisions of, the Amended Credit Agreement, the terms,
          covenants, conditions and other provisions of which Amended Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Amendment as if fully set forth herein.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each amendment to the Existing
          Credit Agreement reflected in the Amended Credit Agreement is and shall be effective as if individually specified in this Amendment (the parties further acknowledging that amending the Existing Credit Agreement by reference to the Amended Credit
          Agreement provides a convenience to the parties to permit the amended terms to be read in the context of the full Amended Credit Agreement), and that this Amendment is not a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or of
          any Indebtedness or other obligations thereunder or in respect thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement applicable to existing LIBOR Rate Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) (the “Existing LIBOR Rate Loans”) shall continue in full force and effect and shall continue to apply to each Existing LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period (as defined in the Existing Credit
          Agreement) that commenced prior to the Amendment Effective Date solely until the expiration of the then current Interest Period for such Existing LIBOR Rate Loan; provided that from and after the Amendment Effective Date, (i) the Borrower shall not be permitted to request any Lender to fund, and no Lender shall fund, any LIBOR Rate Loan and (ii) no Loan may be
          continued as, or converted to, a LIBOR Rate Loan.

     

    
      
        

    

    (b)          Each of Schedule 1.1(A) (Pricing Grid) and Schedule 1.1(B) (Commitments of Lenders and Addresses for Notices) to the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby
          amended and restated in its entirety, in each case, as set forth in the respective Schedule 1.1(A) and Schedule 1.1(B)
          attached hereto.

     

    (c)         Each of Exhibit 2.4 (Loan Request) and Exhibit 2.5 (Swing Loan Request) to the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, in
          each case, as set forth in the respective Exhibit 2.4 and Exhibit 2.5 attached hereto.

     

    (d)          Simultaneously with the effectiveness
          of this Amendment on the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), the parties hereby agree that, notwithstanding the provisions regarding assignments set forth in Section 11.8 of
          the Amended Credit Agreement and Section 11.8 of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Commitments and Ratable Shares shall be as set forth in Schedule 1.1(B) of the Amended Credit Agreement (after giving effect to this Amendment), and the portion of the Revolving Credit Loans and participations with respect to Letters of Credit and Swing Loans outstanding under
          the Existing Credit Agreement shall be reallocated in accordance with such Ratable Shares and the requisite assignments shall be deemed to be made in such amounts by and between the Lenders and from each Lender to each other Lender, with the same
          force and effect as if such assignments were evidenced by applicable Assignment and Assumption Agreements (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 11.8 of the Amended Credit Agreement and Section 11.8 of the Existing Credit Agreement, no other documents or
          instruments, including any Assignment and Assumption Agreements, shall be executed in connection with these assignments (all of which requirements are hereby waived), and such assignments shall be deemed to be made with all applicable
          representations, warranties and covenants as if evidenced by an Assignment and Assumption Agreement.  On the Amendment Effective Date and substantially concurrently with the effectiveness of this Amendment,  to the extent necessary, the Lenders
          shall make full cash settlement with each other either directly or through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct or approve, with respect to all such assignments and reallocations such that after giving effect to such
          settlements each Lender’s Ratable Shares with respect to the Commitments and outstanding Loans shall be as set forth in Schedule 1.1(B) of the Amended Credit Agreement (after giving
          effect to this Amendment).

              discretion, would make it inadvisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Amendment, the Amended Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

          

     

    
      
        

    

    	

          	(e)	
            All regulatory approvals and consents and licenses necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder and the Amended Credit Agreement shall have been completed and there shall

              of specific performance.

          

     

    	4.	
            Entire Agreement.  This Amendment, together with all the Loan Documents
                (collectively, the “Relevant Documents”), sets forth the entire understanding and agreement of the parties hereto in relation to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior
                negotiations and agreements among the parties relating to such subject matter.  No promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not set forth in the Relevant Documents shall bind any party hereto, and no such party
                has relied on any such promise, condition, representation or warranty.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly stated in the Relevant Documents, no representations, warranties or commitments, express or
                implied, have been made by any party to the other in relation to the subject matter hereof or thereof.  None of the terms or conditions of this Amendment may be changed, modified, waived or canceled orally or otherwise, except in writing

                amended, modified or supplemented, the Existing Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects and shall be and remain in full force and effect according to
                their respective terms. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the amendments contained herein do not constitute a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement, the
                  other Loan Documents or the Indebtedness described therein and shall not affect, diminish or abrogate any Loan Party’s liability under the Existing Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

          

     

    	6.	
            Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of
                counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page
                of this Amendment by telecopy or other electronic imaging means (i.e., in “.pdf” or “.tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

          

     

    
      
        

    

    	7.	
            Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Etc.  THIS AMENDMENT SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE
                GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE, AND SHALL BE FURTHER SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 11.11 OF THE AMENDED CREDIT AGREEMENT.

          

     

    	8.	
            Enforceability.  Should any one or more of the provisions of this
                Amendment be determined to be illegal or unenforceable as to one or more of the parties hereto, all other provisions nevertheless shall remain effective and binding on the parties hereto.

          

     

    	9.	
            Ratification and Confirmation of Loan Documents.  Each Loan Party hereby
                consents to, acknowledges and agrees to the amendments set forth herein and hereby confirms and ratifies in all respects the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the continuation of each Loan Party’s payment and performance
                obligations thereunder) and the enforceability of each Loan Document against each Loan Party in accordance with its terms, in each case upon and after the effectiveness of this Amendment and the amendments contemplated hereby.

          

     

    	10.	
            References.  All references in any of the Loan Documents to the “Credit
                Agreement” shall mean the Amended Credit Agreement.

          

     

    	11.	
            Successors and Assigns.  This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to
                the benefit of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and their respective successors and assignees to the extent such assignees are permitted assignees as provided in Section

                    11.8 of the Amended Credit Agreement.

            this Agreement shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP (including principles of consolidation where appropriate), and all accounting or financial terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms by GAAP as in effect from time to

            Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval

            matter related to the Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor.

       

      2.          REVOLVING CREDIT AND SWING LOAN FACILITIES

       

      2.1          Commitments.

       

      2.1.1  Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying
        upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars to the Borrower at any time or from time to time on or after the date hereof to, but not including, the Expiration
        Date, provided that, after giving effect to each such Revolving Credit Loan the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans from such Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit
        Commitment minus such Lender’s Ratable Share of the amount of (a) Letter of Credit Obligations and (b) outstanding Swing Loans (and if the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans from any Lender shall exceed such sum, the Borrower shall
        immediately repay the amount of such excess); and provided further that the Facility Usage at any time shall not exceed the
        Revolving Credit Commitments of all the Lenders (and if the Facility Usage shall exceed such sum, the Borrower shall immediately repay the amount of such excess). Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this
        Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.1. The outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Expiration Date.

       

      2.1.2  Swing Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying
        upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, PNC may at its discretion make Swing Loans to the Borrower in Dollars at the Borrower’s request as hereinafter provided, from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the
        Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal amount of up to but not in excess of the Swing Loan Commitment, provided that the Facility Usage at any time (after giving effect to any
        requested Swing Loan) shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of all the Lenders. Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this
        Section 2.1.2. The outstanding principal amount of all Swing Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Settlement Date applicable thereto or the Expiration Date.

       

      
        30

        
          

      

      2.2          Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans. Each Lender shall be obligated to participate in each request for Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] in
            accordance with its Ratable Share. The aggregate amount of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding hereunder to the Borrower at any time shall never exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of the amount of Letter
            of Credit Obligations and outstanding Swing Loans. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several. The failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower to any other party nor
            shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on or after the Expiration Date.

       

      2.3          Commitment Fees. Accruing from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of each Lender, as consideration for such Lender’s Revolving
            Credit Commitment hereunder according to its Ratable Share, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (computed on
            the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) multiplied by the actual daily difference between the amount of (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the Facility Usage (provided however, that solely in connection with determining the share of each Lender in the Commitment Fee, the Facility Usage with respect to the
            portion of the Commitment Fee allocated to PNC shall include the full amount of the outstanding Swing Loans, and with respect to the portion of the Commitment Fee allocated by the Administrative Agent to all of the Lenders other than PNC, such
            portion of the Commitment Fee shall be calculated (according to each such Lender’s Ratable Share) as if the Facility Usage excludes the outstanding Swing Loans); provided, further, that any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender
            and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so
            long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Subject to the proviso in the directly preceding sentence, all Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date.

       

      2.4          Revolving Credit Loan Requests. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may from time to time prior to the Expiration Date request the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans, or renew or convert the Interest
            Rate Option applicable to existing Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], by delivering to the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 1:00 p.m., three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with
            respect to the making of Revolving Credit Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies or the conversion to or the renewal of the Term SOFR Rate Option for any Loans; and (ii) not later than 1:00 p.m., the same Business Day of the proposed
            Borrowing Date with respect to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies or the last day of the preceding Interest Period with respect to the conversion to the Base Rate Option for any Loan, of a duly completed
            request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.4 or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or electronic mail in such form (each, a “Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt
            of such written confirmation, provided such individual purports to be an Authorized Officer. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the proposed Borrowing Date; (ii) the aggregate amount of the proposed Revolving Credit
            Loans comprising each Borrowing Tranche, the amount of which shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000 for each Borrowing Tranche to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies and not less than the lesser of
            $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 or the maximum amount available for Borrowing Tranches to which the Base Rate Option applies; (iii) whether the Term SOFR Rate Option or Base Rate Option shall apply to the proposed Loans
            comprising the applicable Borrowing Tranche; and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing Tranche to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies, an appropriate Interest Period for the Loans comprising such Borrowing Tranche.

       

      
        31

        
          

      

      2.5          Swing Loan Requests. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may from time to time prior to the Expiration Date request the Swing Loan Lender to make Swing Loans by delivery to the Swing Loan Lender not later
            than 2:00 p.m. on the proposed Borrowing Date of a request therefor duly completed by an Authorized Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.5 hereto or a request by telephone
            immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or electronic mail (each, a “Swing Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the
            authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation, provided such individual purports to be an Authorized Officer. Each Swing Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall
            specify (a) the proposed Borrowing Date, (b) the term of the proposed Swing Loan, which shall be no less than one (1) day and no longer than fourteen (14) days (such date, together with any earlier date on which PNC makes demand for repayment
            thereof, the “Settlement Date”), (c) the principal amount of such Swing Loan, which shall not be less than $250,000.00 and shall be an integral multiple of $50,000.00 and
            (d) whether such Swing Loan is at the Base Rate Option or the Daily Simple SOFR Option. Each Swing Loan shall be payable on demand, and, if no demand is made therefor, on the applicable Settlement Date.

       

      2.6          Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans.

       

      2.6.1  Making Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after
        receipt by it of a Loan Request for or with respect to Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests], notify the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments of its receipt of such Loan Request specifying: (i) the
        proposed Borrowing Date and the time and method of disbursement of the Revolving Credit Loans requested thereby; (ii) the amount and type of each such Revolving Credit Loan and the applicable Interest Period (if any); and (iii) the apportionment
        among the Lenders of such Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations etc.]. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan to the
        Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 7.2 [Conditions to Each Additional Loan or
        Letter of Credit], fund such Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m. on the applicable Borrowing Date, provided
        that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner, the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, and
        such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.6.3 [Presumptions by the Administrative Agent].

       

      2.6.2  Making Swing Loans. So long as the Swing Loan Lender elects to make Swing Loans,
        the Swing Loan Lender shall, after receipt by it of a Swing Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.5 [Swing Loan Requests] fund such Swing Loan to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m.
        on the Borrowing Date. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest at the interest rate applicable thereto in accordance with Section 4.1.1(c) [Swing Loan Interest Rate].

       

      2.6.3  Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall
        have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
        share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.6.1 [Making Revolving Credit Loans] and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its
        share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable 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 such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate
        and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option. If
        such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. Any prepayment by the Borrower that shall duplicate a payment by such Lender shall be promptly returned to
        the Borrower in immediately available funds or otherwise as shall be determined by the Borrower and Administrative Agent. 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.

       

      
        32

        
          

      

      2.6.4  Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans. PNC may, at its option, exercisable at any time
        for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of the Swing Loans, and each Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Loans, plus, if PNC so
        requests, accrued interest thereon, provided that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Credit Loans in excess of its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable
        Share of Letter of Credit Obligations. Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Base Rate Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit
        Loan Requests] without regard to any of the requirements of that provision. PNC shall provide notice to the Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made under this
        Section 2.6.4 and of the apportionment among the Lenders, and the Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] are then
        satisfied) by the time PNC so requests, which shall not be earlier than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day next after the date the Lenders receive such notice from PNC.

       

      2.6.5  Swing Loans Under Cash Management Agreements. In addition to making Swing Loans
        pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 2.6.3 [Making Swing Loans], without the requirement for a specific request from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5 [Swing Loan Requests], PNC as the Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans to the
        Borrower in accordance with the provisions of the agreements between the Borrower and such Swing Loan Lender relating to the Borrower’s deposit, sweep and other accounts at such Swing Loan Lender and related arrangements and agreements regarding
        the management and investment of the Borrower’s cash assets as in effect from time to time (the “Cash Management Agreements”) to the extent of the daily aggregate net negative
        balance in the Borrower’s accounts which are subject to the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements. Swing Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.6.5 in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements shall (i) be subject to
        the limitations as to aggregate amount set forth in Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitment], (ii) not be subject to the limitations as to individual amount set forth in Section 2.5 [Swing Loan Requests], (iii) be payable by the Borrower, both as to
        principal and interest, at the rates and times set forth in the Cash Management Agreements (but in no event later than the Expiration Date), (iv) not be made at any time after such Swing Loan Lender has received written notice of the occurrence of
        an Event of Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, or, unless consented to by the Required Lenders, a Potential Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, (v) if not repaid by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions
        of the Cash Management Agreements, be subject to each Lender’s obligation pursuant to Section 2.6.4 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans], and (vi) except as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v), be subject to all of the terms and
        conditions of this Section 2.

            revolving credit Note and a swing Note, dated the Closing Date payable to the order of such Lender in a face amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment or Swing Loan Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender.

       

      
        33

        
          

      

      2.8          Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in Section 8.1.10 [Use of Proceeds], but in any event not to fund any operations in, finance any investments or
            activities in, or, make any payments to, a Sanctioned Jurisdiction or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law or, in any material respect, in violation of any Anti-Corruption Law.

       

      2.9          Letter of Credit Subfacility.

       

      2.9.1  Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower or any Loan Party may at any time
        prior to the Expiration Date request the issuance of a standby letter of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) for its own account, or the amendment or extension of an existing
        Letter of Credit, by delivering or transmitting electronically, or having such other Loan Party deliver or transmit electronically to the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a completed application for letter of credit, or
        request for such amendment or extension, as applicable, in such form as the Issuing Lender may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender,
        in advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Borrower or any Loan Party shall authorize and direct the Issuing Lender to name the Borrower as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit. Promptly after receipt of any letter of
        credit application, the Issuing Lender shall confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuing Lender will provide the
        Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.

       

      2.9.1.1  Unless the Issuing Lender has received notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one day prior to the
        requested date of issuance, amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] is not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
        conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.9, the Issuing Lender or any of the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates will issue the proposed Letter of Credit or agree to such amendment or extension,
        provided that each Letter of Credit shall (A) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, and (B) in no event expire later than the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date unless, in the case
        of a Letter of Credit that Borrower requests to expire after the Expiration Date (but not longer than twelve (12) months after the Expiration Date), the Borrower Cash Collateralizes such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.9.1.2 hereof;
        and provided further that in no event shall (i) the Letter of Credit Obligations exceed, at any one time, the Letter of Credit
        Sublimit, or (ii) the Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit Commitments. Schedule 2.9.1 sets forth letters of credit issued by PNC, as issuing lender under the
        Existing Credit Agreement, which are outstanding as of the Closing Date (the “Existing Letters of Credit”). It is expressly agreed that the Existing Letters of Credit are
        Letters of Credit under this Agreement. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that it shall be in compliance with the preceding sentence
        and with Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a
        Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

       

      2.9.1.2  Upon the request of Administrative Agent, (i) if any Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of
        Credit and such drawing has resulted in an Letter of Credit Borrowing, or (ii) if, on the Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize in an amount
        equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of the then-outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Lender and the Lenders, a security interest in all cash
        collateral pledged pursuant to this Section or otherwise under this Agreement.

       

      
        34

        
          

      

      2.9.1.3  Notwithstanding Section 2.9.1.1, the Issuing Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order,
        judgment or decree of any Official Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not
        having the force of law) from any Official Body with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall
        impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) 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, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of
        the Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.

       

      2.9.2  Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent
        for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate on the daily amount available to be drawn under each
        Letter of Credit, and (ii) to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit. All Letter of Credit Fees and fronting fees shall be computed on
        the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date following issuance of each Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall also pay to the Issuing Lender for the Issuing Lender’s sole
        account the Issuing Lender’s then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as the Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance,
        amendment (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit.

       

      2.9.3  Disbursements, Reimbursement. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of
        Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of
        the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

       

      2.9.3.1  In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Issuing Lender will
        promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the Issuing Lender prior to 12:00 p.m. on each date that an amount is paid by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) by paying to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Lender. In the event the Borrower
        fails to reimburse the Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 p.m. on the Drawing Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the
        Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made by the Lenders under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the
        Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements. Any notice given by the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9.3.1
        may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

       

      
        35

        
          

      

      2.9.3.2  Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.9.3.1 make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing
        Lender an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements; Reimbursement]) each be deemed to have made a Revolving
        Credit Loan under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in that amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount by
        no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Effective
        Federal Funds Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The
        Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender will promptly give notice (as described in Section 2.9.3.1 above) of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender to give any such notice on the
        Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.9.3.2.

       

      2.9.3.3  With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in
        whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.9.3.1, because of the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements, or for any other reason, the Borrower
        shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall
        be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option. Each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
        Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement] shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing (each a “Participation

          Advance”) from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.9.3.

       

      2.9.4  Repayment of Participation Advances.

       

      2.9.4.1  Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender of immediately available funds from the
        Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made
        by the Issuing Lender under such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of
        such funds, except the Administrative Agent shall retain for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by the Issuing Lender.

       

      2.9.4.2  If the Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any
        official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of any payment made by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made under any Letter of Credit or
        interest or fees thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative
        Agent plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Effective Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time.

       

      
        36

        
          

      

      2.9.5  Documentation. Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Issuing
        Lender’s application and agreement for letters of credit and the Issuing Lender’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Loan Party’s own. In the event of a
        conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error,
        negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Loan Party’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto; provided that each Loan Party agrees that all instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by a Loan Party with respect to any Letter of Credit shall be provided in writing.

       

      2.9.6  Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. In determining whether to honor any
        request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and
        that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

       

      2.9.7  Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Lender’s obligation
        in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or Participation Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement], as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the Borrower
        to reimburse the Issuing Lender upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.9 under all circumstances, including the
        following circumstances:

       

      (i)          any set-off, counterclaim,
            recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, or which any Loan Party may have against the Issuing Lender or any of
            its Affiliates, any Lender or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

       

      (ii)         the failure of any Loan Party or
            any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in Sections 2.1 [Revolving Credit Commitments], 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests], 2.6 [Making Revolving Credit
            Loans and Swing Loans; Etc.] or 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Credit Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of
            Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement];

       

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

       

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

       

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

       

      
        37

        
          

      

      (vi)         payment by the Issuing Lender or
            any of its Affiliates under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

       

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

       

      (viii)       any failure by the Issuing Lender
            or any of its Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by any Loan Party, unless the Issuing Lender has received written notice from such Loan Party of such failure within three Business Days after the Issuing Lender shall
            have furnished such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

       

      (ix)         any adverse change in the business,
            operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party;

       

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

       

      (xi)         the occurrence or continuance of an
            Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party;

       

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

       

      (xiii)      the fact that the Expiration Date
            shall have passed or this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and

       

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

       

      2.9.8  Indemnity. The Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save
        harmless the Issuing Lender and any of its Affiliates that has issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including
        reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of
        Credit, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) the wrongful dishonor by the Administrative Agent or
        any of Administrative Agent’s Affiliates of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto
        government or Official Body.

       

      
        38

        
          

      

      2.9.9  Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any Loan Party and the Issuing
        Lender, or the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, such Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
        foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for any of the following, including any losses or damages to any Loan Party or other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal
        effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged
        (even if the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
        thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be
        transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any
        Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in
        cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the
        misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates, as applicable,
        including any act or omission of any Official Body, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Lender’s or its Affiliates rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve
        the Issuing Lender from liability for the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Issuing Lender or its
        Affiliates be liable to any Loan Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating
        to a Letter of Credit.

       

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

       

      In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender or
        its Affiliates under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under any resulting
        liability to the Borrower or any Lender.

       

      
        39

        
          

      

      2.9.10  Issuing Lender Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Lender shall, on the first
        Business Day of each month, provide to Administrative Agent and Borrower a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the
        account party, the original face amount (if any), and the expiration date of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during the preceding month, and any other information relating to such Letter of Credit that the Administrative Agent may
        request.

       

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

       

      (i)          fees shall cease to accrue on the
            unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3 [Commitment Fees];

       

      (ii)        the Commitment and outstanding Loans
            of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.1
            [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers]); provided, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification
            requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby;

       

      (iii)      if any Swing Loans are outstanding or
            any Letter of Credit Obligations exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

       

      (a)         all or any part of the outstanding
            Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares but only to the extent that (x) the Facility Usage does not exceed
            the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments, and (y) no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;

       

      (b)        if the reallocation described in
            clause (a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such outstanding Swing Loans, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the
            benefit of the Issuing Lender the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a) above) in a deposit account held at the
            Administrative Agent for so long as such Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding;

       

      (c)        if the Borrower cash collateralizes
            any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to clause (b) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] with respect to
            such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are cash collateralized;

       

      (d)         if the Letter of Credit Obligations
            of the Non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (a) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Share;
            and

       

      (e)         if all or any portion of such
            Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all
            Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Lender (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until and to the extent
            that such Letter of Credit Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

       

      
        40

        
          

      

      (iv)       so long as such Lender is a
            Defaulting Lender, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Lender is satisfied that the related exposure and the
            Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section
            2.10(iii), and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.10(iii)(a) (and such Defaulting Lender
            shall not participate therein).

       

      If (i) an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to a parent company of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue, or
        (ii) PNC or the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loan
        and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless PNC or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to PNC or the
        Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

       

      In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, PNC and the Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that
        caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and the Ratable Share of the Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of
        such Lender’s Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in
        accordance with its Ratable Share.

            such extension with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date (except representations and warranties which expressly relate solely to an earlier date or time, which representations and
            warranties shall be true and correct on and as of the specific dates or times referred to therein), and the Loan Parties shall have performed and complied with all covenants and conditions hereof.

      (d)       Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. After giving effect to such increase, the total Revolving Credit Commitments shall not exceed $750,000,000.

       

      (e)     Minimum Revolving Credit Commitments. The aggregate increased amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be at least $50,000,000; and

            the increase (and the prior Note issued to such Increasing Lender shall be deemed to be terminated) and (2) to each New Lender a revolving credit Note reflecting the amount of such New Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.

       

      (h)         Approval of New Lenders. Any New Lender shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Administrative Agent.

       

      (i)       Increasing Lenders. Each Increasing Lender shall confirm its agreement to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to an acknowledgement in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, signed by it and the

      (j)         New Lenders--Joinder. Each New Lender shall execute a lender joinder in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.11 pursuant to which such New Lender shall join
            and become a party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with a Revolving Credit Commitment in the amount set forth in such lender joinder.

       

      (ii)          Treatment of Outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit.

       

      (a)          Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans. On the on the effective date of such increase, the Borrower shall repay all Loans then outstanding, subject to the Borrower’s indemnity obligations under Section

            to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to) its Ratable Share of all outstanding Participation Advances.

       

      
        42

        
          

      

      2.12          Extension of the Expiration Date.

       

      (i)          Request for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) delivered on any Business Day not less than sixty (60) days prior to the Expiration Date then in effect
            hereunder (the “Existing Expiration Date”) request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Expiration Date to the date that is one year after the Existing Expiration Date
            then in effect (the “Extended Expiration Date”). The Borrower may only request one (1) Extended Expiration Date pursuant to this Section 2.12 after the First Amendment
            Effective Date. The Business Day upon which any Extended Expiration Date is effective, upon satisfaction of each of the requirements of this Section 2.12, is referred to in this Section 2.12 as an “Extension Effective Date.”

       

      (ii)      Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after the Business Day
            on which the Administrative Agent makes the Borrower’s extension request available to the Lenders (the “Lender Decision Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether or
            not such Lender agrees to such extension with respect to its applicable Commitments or Loans (each Lender that determines to so extend its Expiration Date with respect to its applicable Commitments or Loans, an “Extending Lender”). Each Lender that determines to extend its Expiration Date with respect to its applicable Commitments or Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such
            determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Decision Date), and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Lender Decision Date or determines to not extend its Expiration Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) with respect to its applicable Commitment or Loans shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such request for
            an extension of the Expiration Date (whether an Existing Expiration Date or Extended Expiration Date) shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree
            to any such request.

       

      (iii)     Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section 2.12 promptly after the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof and, in any
            event, no later than the date that is five (5) Business Days after the Lender Decision Date.

       

      (iv)       Additional Commitment Lenders. The Borrower shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the Existing Expiration Date in accordance with the procedures provided in Section 5.13 [Replacement of a
            Lender] as if such Non-Extending Lender was an Non-Consenting Lender thereunder, to replace each Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
            contained in Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders], with the Borrower or such Additional Commitment Lender obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such Additional
            Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the Existing Expiration Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Commitment and/or Loans (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment and/or Loans shall
            be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment and Loans hereunder on such date). On the Extension Effective Date, each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be bound by the
            provisions of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder.

       

      
        43

        
          

      

      (v)          Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. No Extension Effective Date may occur unless and until:

       

      (a)       the Extending Lenders and the
            Additional Commitment Lenders who have complied with the preceding subsection (iv) of this Section 2.12, when combined, comprise Required Lenders;

       

      (b)         no Default or Event of Default shall
            have occurred and be continuing on such date and after giving effect to the Extended Expiration Date;

       

      (c)         the representations and warranties
            of each Loan Party set forth in Section 6 [Representations and Warranties] (other than the representations and warranties contained in the first sentence of Section 6.1.6 [Litigation], the last sentence of Section 6.1.8 [Historical Statements;
            No Material Adverse Change], and Section 6.1.19 [Environmental Matters]) and in the other Loan Documents shall be true on and as of the date of such extension with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on
            and as of such date (except representations and warranties which expressly relate solely to an earlier date or time, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct on and as of the specific dates or times referred to therein),
            and the Loan Parties shall have performed and complied with all covenants and conditions hereof; and

       

      (d)         the Administrative Agent shall have
            received a certificate from the Borrower signed by an authorized officer of the Borrower (A) certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) and (B) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Loan Parties approving or
            consenting to such extension.

       

      (vi)      Expiration Date for Non-Extending Lenders. On the Expiration Date as to each Non-Extending Lender, (i) the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall automatically terminate, and (ii) Borrower shall repay the Loans
            and all other outstanding Obligations owed to such Non-Extending Lender.

       

      (vii)       Amendment. In connection with any Extended Expiration Date, and concurrent with the relevant Extension Effective Date, the Borrower, Administrative Agent and Required Lenders may make such amendments to this Agreement
            as the Administrative Agent and/or Required Lenders determine to be reasonably necessary to effectuate such Extended Expiration Date. This Section shall supersede Sections 5.2 [Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders], 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by
            Lenders] and 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers].

       

      3.          ESG PROVISIONS

       

      3.1          Sustainability Coordinator, KPIs and ESG. The Borrower, in consultation with a Lender selected by Borrower in its sole discretion (such Lender, in such capacity, the “Sustainability Coordinator”), shall establish specified Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) with respect to certain Environmental, Social and
            Governance (“ESG”) targets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Upon effectiveness of the ESG Amendment (defined below), the KPIs will be used, together with the Pricing
            Grid, to determine pricing for the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations. Based on the Borrower’s performance measured against the KPIs, certain adjustments to the otherwise agreed Commitment Fee, Applicable Margin, and Letter of Credit Fee
            will be made in an amount not to exceed (a) in the case of the Commitment Fee, a one (1) basis point adjustment in the otherwise applicable Commitment Fee, and (b) in the case of the Applicable Margin and the Letter of Credit Fee, a five (5)
            basis point adjustment in the otherwise in effect Applicable Margin or Letter of Credit Fee. The pricing adjustments pursuant to the KPIs will require, among other things, reporting and validation of the measurement of the KPIs in a manner that
            is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles and is to be agreed between the Borrower and the Sustainability Coordinator (each acting reasonably).

       

      
        44

        
          

      

      3.2          ESG Pricing Provisions; ESG Amendment. The KPIs and other related provisions (the “ESG Pricing Provisions”) will be provided to the Lenders for
            review in the form of an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (if necessary), prepared by the Administrative Agent, which shall be executed by the Required Lenders, Borrower and the Sustainability Coordinator (such
            amendment, the “ESG Amendment”), notwithstanding any requirement set forth in Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] to the contrary. Following the
            effectiveness of the ESG Amendment, any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions which does not have the effect of reducing the Commitment Fee, the Applicable Margin, or the Letter of Credit Fee to a level not otherwise permitted by this
            paragraph shall be subject only to the consent of the Required Lenders, notwithstanding any requirement set forth in Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] to the contrary. The Sustainability Coordinator, in consultation with the
            Administrative Agent, will (i) assist the Borrower in determining the ESG Pricing Provisions of the Loans and Letters of Credit and (ii) assist the Borrower in preparing informational materials focused on ESG to be used in connection with the
            Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations.

       

      4.          INTEREST RATES

       

      4.1           Interest Rate Options. The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or Term SOFR Rate Option set forth below
            applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans, or the Base Rate Option or the Daily Simple SOFR Option set forth below applicable to the Swing Loans, respectively, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower
            may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any
            portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than ten (10) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of
            the Loans and provided further that if an Event of Default or Potential Default exists and is continuing, the Borrower may
            not request, convert to, or renew the Term SOFR Rate Option for any Loans and the Required Lenders may demand that all existing Borrowing Tranches bearing interest under the Term SOFR Rate Option shall be converted immediately to the Base Rate
            Option, subject in all cases to the obligation of the Borrower to pay any indemnity under Section 5.11 [Indemnity] in connection with such conversion. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such
            Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate.  The applicable Base Rate, Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in
            accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

       

      4.1.1  Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options; Swing Line Interest Rate. The Borrower
        shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans:

       

      (a)          Revolving Credit Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such
            interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate.

       

      (b)          Revolving Credit Term SOFR Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Term SOFR Rate as determined for each applicable Interest Period plus the SOFR
            Adjustment plus the Applicable Margin.

       

      
        45

        
          

      

      (c)          Swing Loan Interest Rate: Subject to Section 4.3 [Interest After Default], the Swing Loans shall bear interest, as agreed by the Swing Loan Lender and the Borrower, (i) at the Base Rate Option applicable to Revolving
            Credit Loans, (ii) at a fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment plus the Applicable Margin or (iii) if applicable, at the applicable
            rate set forth in any Cash Management Agreement.

       

      4.1.2  Rate Quotations. The Borrower may call the Administrative Agent on or before the
        date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which
        thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.

       

      4.1.3  Conforming Changes Relating to Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR. With respect
        to the Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing
        such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of
        each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

       

      4.2         Interest Periods. At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a Term SOFR Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
            effective date of such Term SOFR Rate Option by delivering a Loan Request. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall
            apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a Term SOFR Rate Option:

       

      4.2.1  Amount of Borrowing Tranche. Each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Term SOFR
        Rate Option shall be in integral multiples of, and not less than, the respective amounts set forth in Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests]; and

       

      4.2.2  Renewals. In the case of the renewal of a Term SOFR Rate Option at the end of an
        Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day.

       

      4.3         Interest After Default. To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent
            or upon written demand by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent, each Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable to Revolving Credit Loans
            under the Base Rate Option plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is Paid In Full. The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 4.3 reflects,
            among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable
            by Borrower upon demand by Administrative Agent.

       

      
        46

        
          

      

      4.4          Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR Unascertainable; Illegality; Benchmark Replacement Setting.

       

      (a)          Term SOFR Rate Unascertainable.  If, on or prior to the first day of an Interest Period:

       

      (i)          the Administrative Agent shall have
            determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Term SOFR Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

       

      (ii)           the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Rate Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that the Term SOFR
            Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Rate Loan, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding or maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

       

      then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4(d) [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

       

      (b)          Daily Simple SOFR Unascertainable.  If, on any day:

       

      (i)          the Administrative Agent shall have
            determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Daily Simple SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

       

      (ii)          the Administrative Agent or the
            Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Daily Simple SOFR Loan that Daily Simple SOFR with respect to a proposed Daily Simple
            SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding or maintaining such Loan, and, if applicable, the Required Lenders provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

       

      then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4(d) [Administrative Agent’s
        and Lender’s Rights].

       

      (c)          Illegality.  If at any time any Lender shall have determined, or any Official Body shall have asserted, that the making, maintenance or funding of any Term SOFR Rate Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, or the determination
            or charging of interest rates based on the Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable, has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any
            Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4(d)
            [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

       

      
        47

        
          

      

      (d)       Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights.  In the case of any event specified in Section 4.4(a) or (b)
            [Unascertainable] above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4(c) [Illegality]
            above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and
            certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (A) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the
            Administrative Agent, or (B) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a Term SOFR Rate Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected
            Term SOFR Rate Loan, Daily Simple SOFR Loan or Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such
            Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist.  If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section

                4.4(a) or (b) [Unascertainable] and the Borrower has previously notified the Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Term SOFR Rate
            Option or Daily Simple SOFR Option and the Term SOFR Rate Option or Daily Simple SOFR Option, as applicable, has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate
            Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans.  If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 4.4(c) [Illegality], the Borrower shall,
            subject to the Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 5.11 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Lender to which a Term SOFR Rate Option or Daily Simple SOFR Option
            applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments].  Absent due notice from the
            Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date.

       

      (e)          Benchmark Replacement Setting.

       

      (i)          Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any agreement executed in connection with an Interest Rate Hedge shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”), if a Benchmark
            Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a)(1) of the definition of “Benchmark
            Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any
            amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a)(2) or clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark
            Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on
            the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the
            Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

       

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

       

      
        48

        
          

      

      (iii)         Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of
            any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark
            pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant
            to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will
            be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this
            Section.

       

      (iv)        Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the
            then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable
            discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the
            Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was
            removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will
            not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to
            reinstate such previously removed tenor.

       

      (v)          Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Loan bearing interest based on the Term
            SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR to be made, conversion to or continuation of Loans bearing interest based on the Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that,
            the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of or conversion to Loans bearing interest under the Base Rate Option. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the
            then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

       

      (vi)          Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”:

       

      “Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination
        and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if such Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest
        period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated
        with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor of such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause
        (iv) of this Section.

       

      
        49

        
          

      

      “Benchmark” means, initially, either the Term SOFR Rate
        or Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable in the case of any Loan; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Rate, Daily Simple SOFR or the
        then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section.

       

      “Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event: (a) in the case of the replacement of the Term SOFR Rate, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the
          Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

       

      (1)          the sum of: (A)
            Daily Simple SOFR and (B) the SOFR Adjustment;

       

      (2)        the sum of (A) the
            alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, giving due consideration to (x) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the
            Relevant Governmental Body or (y) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (B)
            the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; and

       

      (b)          in the case of the
            replacement of Daily Simple SOFR, the sum of (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, giving due consideration to (x) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate
            or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (y) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated
            syndicated credit facilities at such time and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

       

      provided that if the Benchmark
          Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (a)(2) or (b) above would be less than the SOFR Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the SOFR Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and provided further, that any Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible as determined by the Administrative Agent in
          its sole discretion.

       

      “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect
        to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been
        selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, giving due consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark
        with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment,
        for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.

       

      
        50

        
          

      

      “Benchmark Replacement Date” means a date and time
        determined by the Administrative Agent, which date shall be no later than the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

       

      (1)          in the case of
            clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (A) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (B) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the
            published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

       

      (2)       in the case of
            clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date determined by the Administrative Agent, which date shall promptly follow the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein;

       

      For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2)
        with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

       

      “Benchmark Transition Event” means, the occurrence of
        one or more of the following events, with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

       

      (1)          a public
            statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available
            Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such
            Benchmark (or such component thereof);

       

      (2)          a public
            statement or publication of information by an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the
            Federal Reserve Board, the NYFRB, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or
            a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide
            all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor
            of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

       

      (3)      a public statement
            or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent announcing
            that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.

       

      
        51

        
          

      

      For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a
        public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

       

      “Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if
        any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this Section
        4.4(e) titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting” and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this Section 4.4(e) titled
        “Benchmark Replacement Setting.”

       

      “Relevant Governmental Body” means the Board of
        Governors of the Federal Reserve System and/or the NYFRB, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and/or the NYFRB, or any successor thereto.

       

      “Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the applicable
        Benchmark Replacement excluding the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.

       

      4.5          Selection of Interest Rate Options. If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Term SOFR Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period
            applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Term SOFR Rate Option with an Interest Period of one (1)
            month commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period. If the Borrower provides any Loan Request related to a Loan at the Term SOFR Rate Option but fails to identify an Interest Period therefor, such Loan Request shall be deemed to
            request an Interest Period of one (1) month. Any Loan Request that fails to select an Interest Rate Option shall be deemed to be a request for the Term SOFR Rate Option with an Interest Period of one (1) month.

       

      5.          PAYMENTS

       

      5.1        Payments. All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Administrative Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be
            payable prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an
            action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of PNC with respect to the Swing Loans and for the ratable accounts of the Lenders with respect to the
            Revolving Credit Loans in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders in immediately available funds; provided
            that in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m. by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent
            shall pay the Lenders interest at the Effective Federal Funds Rate with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s
            statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement.

       

      
        52

        
          

      

      5.2          Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders. Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and
            each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees (but excluding the Administrative Agent’s Fee and the Issuing Lender’s fronting fee) shall (except as otherwise may be
            provided with respect to a Defaulting Lender and except as provided in Sections 2.12 [Extension of the Expiration Date], 4.4(d) [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4 [Term SOFR Rate or
            Daily Simple SOFR Unascertainable; Etc.], Section 5.13 [Replacement of a Lender] or Section 5.9 [Increased Costs]) be payable ratably among the Lenders entitled to such payment in accordance with the amount of principal, interest, Commitment
            Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees or other amounts from the Borrower with respect to Swing
            Loans shall be made by or to PNC according to Section 2.6.4 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans].

       

      5.3          Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source,
            obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other
            such obligations greater than the pro-rata share of the amount such Lender is entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value)
            participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate
            amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

       

      (i)          if any such participations are
            purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required
            by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase; and

       

      (ii)          the provisions of this Section 5.3
            shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
            participation in any of its Loans or Participation Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall apply).

       

      Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant
        to the foregoing arrangements may 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.

       

      5.4          Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

       

      
        53

        
          

      

      5.4.1  Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
        Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender (x) in the case of Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, 8 hours prior to the proposed time of such Borrowing Tranche of Loans and (y) otherwise, prior to the proposed date of any
        Borrowing Tranche of Loans that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section
        2.6 (a) [Making Revolving Credit Loans] and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing Tranche of Loans
        available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable 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 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, the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
        Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Loan under the applicable Loan Request. 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 Borrowing Tranche of Loans to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing Tranche of Loans. 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.

       

      5.4.2  Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. 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, 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 the
        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 Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate
        determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

       

      5.5          Interest Payment Dates. Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option or Daily Simple SOFR Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date. Interest on Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option
            applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) months, also at the end of each three (3) month period during such Interest Period. Interest on the principal amount
            of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise).  Interest shall
            be computed to, but excluding, the date payment is due.

       

      5.6          Voluntary Prepayments.

       

      5.6.1  Right to Prepay. The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to
        time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 5.9 [Increased Costs], Section 5.10 [Taxes] and Section 5.11 [Indemnity]). Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall
        provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans or no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment of Swing Loans, setting forth the
        following information:

       

      
        54

        
          

      

      (i)           the date, which shall be a
            Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made;

       

      (ii)          a statement indicating the
            application of the prepayment between the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans;

       

      (iii)        a statement indicating the
            application of the prepayment between Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies and, solely with respect to Swing Loans, Loans to which the Daily Simple SOFR Option applies;

       

      (iv)        the total principal amount of such
            prepayment which, with respect to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall not be less than $500,000 for any Revolving Credit Loan unless such repayment is of the total amount outstanding with regard to such Revolving Credit Loan and
            which, with respect to Swing Loans, shall not be less than $500,000 unless such repayment is of the total amount outstanding with regard to such Swing Loan; and

       

      (v)        the total principal amount of such
            prepayment, which, with respect to Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies, shall not be less than $1,000,000 for any Revolving Credit Loan unless such repayment is of the total amount outstanding with regard to such Revolving Credit
            Loan.

       

      All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on
        such principal amount except with respect to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. Except as provided in
        Section 4.4(d) [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], if the Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied (a) first to Swing Loans and second
        to the Revolving Credit Loans; and (b) after giving effect to the allocations in clause (a) above and in the preceding sentence, first to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Loans to which the Daily Simple SOFR Option applies, then
        to Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 5.11 [Indemnity].

       

      5.6.2  Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
        under Section 5.9 [Increased Costs], or the Borrower is or will be required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.10 [Taxes], then such Lender shall
        (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in
        the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.9 [Increased Costs] or Section 5.10 [Taxes], as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject
        such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
        designation or assignment.

       

      5.7          Voluntary Commitment Reductions. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ written irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Commitments or, from time to time,
            to reduce the amount of the Commitments, which notice shall specify the date and amount of any such reduction and otherwise be substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.7 (a “Commitment Reduction Notice”). Any such reduction shall be in a minimum amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, unless the Commitments are reduced to zero
            and this Agreement is terminated, provided, that the Revolving Credit Commitments may not be reduced below the aggregate principal amount of the Facility Usage. Each reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall ratably reduce the Revolving
            Credit Commitments of the Lenders.

       

      
        55

        
          

      

      5.8          [Reserved].

       

      5.9          Increased Costs.

       

      5.9.1  Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

       

      (i)        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
            Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR) or the Issuing Lender;

       

      (ii)          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; or

       

      (iii)        impose on any Lender, the Issuing
            Lender or the relevant 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 any
        Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter 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 received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of
        such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case
        may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

       

      5.9.2  Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any
        Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing 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 or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or
        participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company
        could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), 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 the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such
        reduction suffered.

       

      
        56

        
          

      

      5.9.3  Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans;  Borrowing of New Loans.
        A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 5.9.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or
        5.9.2 [Capital Requirements] and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days
        after receipt thereof.

       

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

       

      5.10        Taxes.

       

      5.10.1  Issuing Lender. For purposes of this Section 5.10, the term “Lender” includes
        the Issuing Lender and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

       

      5.10.2  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 without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires
        the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the
        relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including
        such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.10 [Taxes]) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

       

      5.10.3  Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay
        to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

       

      5.10.4  Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and
        severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.10 [Taxes])
        payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
        or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of
        a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

       

      
        57

        
          

      

      5.10.5  Indemnification by the 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 any of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.8.4 [Participations] 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 Official Body. 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 5.10.5 [Indemnification by the Lenders].

       

      5.10.6  Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any
        Loan Party to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 5.10 [Taxes], such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
        reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

       

      5.10.7  Status of Lenders.

       

      (i)          Any Lender that is entitled to an
            exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower 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 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 Section 5.10.7(ii)(a), (ii)(b) and (ii)(d) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject
            such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

       

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

       

      (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), 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:

       

      
        58

        
          

      

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

       

      (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 5.10.7(A) to the
            effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign
            corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS For W-8BEN-E, as
            applicable; or

       

      (4)           to the extent a
            Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, 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, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.10.7(B) or Exhibit 5.10.7(C), IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as
            applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such
            Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.10.7(D) 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), executed originals 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 (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

       

      
        59

        
          

      

      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.

       

      5.10.8  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 5.10 [Taxes] (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.10 [Taxes]), 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 5.10 [Taxes] 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 Official Body with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party incurred in connection with obtaining such
        refund, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 5.10.8 [Treatment of Certain Refunds] (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such
        indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.10.8 [Treatment of Certain Refunds], in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an
        indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.10.8 [Treatment of Certain Refunds] the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to
        indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts 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.

       

      5.10.9  Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.10 [Taxes] shall
        survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.

       

      5.11          Indemnity. In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 5.9 [Increased Costs] or Section 5.10 [Taxes], the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against all liabilities, losses or expenses (including
            any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin)
            which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:

       

      (i)          payment, prepayment, conversion or
            renewal of any Loan to which a Term SOFR Rate Option applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment
            or prepayment is then due), or

       

      (ii)        attempt by the Borrower to revoke
            (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests for a Loan other than a Loan under the Base Rate Option, whether under Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit
                Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests] or Section 4.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments], or

       

      (iii)        any assignment of a Loan under the
            Term SOFR Rate Option on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period thereof as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.13 [Replacement of a Lender].

       

      
        60

        
          

      

      If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which
        determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth
        in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

       

      5.12        Settlement. On any Business Day, the Administrative Agent may effectuate settlement pursuant to such procedures as it may establish solely as a matter of administrative convenience. The Administrative Agent may at any
            time at its option for any reason whatsoever require each Lender to pay immediately to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of the outstanding Loans and each Lender may at any time require the Administrative Agent to pay
            immediately to such Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans.

       

      5.13         Replacement of a Lender. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.9 [Increased Costs], or if the Borrower is required to pay any indemnified taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for
            the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.10 [Taxes] and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 5.6.2 [Designation of Different Lending Office], or if any
            Lender is a Defaulting Lender, a Non-Extending Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate,
            without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section
            5.9 [Increased Cost] or Section 5.10 [Taxes]) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such
            assignment); provided that:

       

      (a)          the Borrower shall have paid to the
            Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns];

       

      (b)        such Lender shall have received
            payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Borrowings, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
            (including any amounts under Section 5.11 [Indemnity]) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

       

      (c)         in the case of any such assignment
            resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.9 [Increased Costs] or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.10 [Taxes], such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

       

      (d)          such assignment does not conflict
            with applicable Law; and

       

      (e)       in the case of any assignment
            resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

       

      A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
        circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

       

      
        61

        
          

      

      5.14          Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
            Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.10(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an
            amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

       

      (a)         Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender, and agrees to
            maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (b) below. 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 and the Issuing Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less
            than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower 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 the Defaulting Lender).

       

      (b)         Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 5.14 or Section 2.10 [Defaulting Lender] in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to
            the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the
            Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

       

      (c)         Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this
            Section 5.14 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender
            that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.10 [Default Lenders] the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lender may agree that Cash
            Collateral 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, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to Section 5.14(a) above.

      8.1.1  Preservation of Existence, Etc. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of
        its Significant Subsidiaries to, maintain its legal existence and its license or qualification and good standing in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the nature of its business makes such license or qualification
        necessary, except (i) where the lack of legal existence of any Subsidiary or the failure to be so licensed or qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change, or (ii) as otherwise expressly permitted in Section 8.2.5
        [Liquidations, Mergers, Etc.] or Section 8.2.6 [Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries].

       

      
        69

        
          

      

      8.1.2  Payment of Liabilities, Including Taxes, Etc. Each Loan Party shall, and shall
        cause each of its Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge all liabilities to which it is subject or which are asserted against it, promptly as and when the same shall become due and payable, including all Taxes upon it or any of its properties,
        assets, income or profits, prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto, except to the extent that such Taxes are being contested in good faith and by appropriate and lawful proceedings diligently conducted and for which such reserve or
        other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required by GAAP shall have been made, but only to the extent that failure to discharge any such liabilities would not result in any additional liability which could reasonably be expected to result
        in a Material Adverse Change.

       

      8.1.3  Maintenance of Insurance. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its
        Subsidiaries to, insure its properties and assets against loss or damage by fire and such other insurable hazards as such assets are commonly insured (including fire, extended coverage, property damage, workers’ compensation, public liability and
        business interruption insurance) and against other risks (including errors and omissions) in such amounts as similar properties and assets are insured by prudent companies in similar circumstances carrying on similar businesses, and with reputable
        and financially sound insurers, including self-insurance to the extent customary.

       

      8.1.4  Maintenance of Properties and Leases. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause
        each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain in good repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) in accordance with the general practice of other businesses of similar character and size, all of those properties useful or
        necessary to its business, and from time to time, such Loan Party will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals or replacements thereof (except for asset dispositions not restricted under Section 8.2.6 [Dispositions of Assets and
        Subsidiaries]).

       

      8.1.5  Maintenance of Patents, Trademarks, Etc. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause
        each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain in full force and effect all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, franchises, permits and other authorizations necessary for the ownership and operation of its properties and
        business if the failure so to maintain the same could constitute a Material Adverse Change.

       

      8.1.6  Visitation Rights. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its
        Subsidiaries to, permit any of the officers or authorized employees or representatives of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to visit and inspect any of its properties and to examine and make excerpts from its books and records and
        discuss its business affairs, finances and accounts with its officers, all in such detail and at such times and as often as any of the Lenders may reasonably request, provided that each Lender shall provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
        with reasonable notice prior to any visit or inspection, and, except after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, any such visit or inspection shall occur during regular business hours. In the event any Lender desires to
        conduct an audit of any Loan Party, such Lender shall make a reasonable effort to conduct such audit contemporaneously with any audit to be performed by the Administrative Agent, and except after the occurrence and during the continuation of an
        Event of Default, any such audit (whether by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be.

       

      8.1.7  Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Borrower shall, and shall cause

        Official Body having jurisdiction over the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, and in which full, true and correct entries shall be made in all material respects of all its dealings and business and financial affairs.

        Subsidiaries and each other member of the ERISA Group to, comply with ERISA, the Code and other applicable Laws applicable to Plans and Benefit Arrangements except where such failure, alone or in conjunction with any other failure, would not
        reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall cause all of its Plans and all Plans maintained by any of its Subsidiaries and any member of the ERISA Group to be
        funded in accordance with the minimum funding requirements of ERISA and shall make, and cause each member of the ERISA Group to make, in a timely manner, all contributions due to Plans, Benefit Arrangements and Multiemployer Plans, except where any
        such failure, alone or in conjunction with any other failure, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

       

      8.1.9  Compliance With Laws. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its
        Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable Laws, including all Environmental Laws, in all material respects, provided that it shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 8.1.9 if any failure to comply with any Law would not result in
        fines, penalties, costs associated with the performance of any Remedial Actions, other similar liabilities or injunctive relief which in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Without limiting the
        generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, obtain, maintain, renew and comply with all Environmental Permits applicable to their respective operations and activities, provided that it shall not
        be deemed to be a violation of this Section 8.1.9 if any failure to do so would not result in cease and desist orders or fines, penalties or other similar liabilities or injunctive relief which in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to
        result in a Material Adverse Change.

       

      8.1.10  Use of Proceeds. The Loan Parties will use the Letters of Credit and the
        proceeds of the Loans only for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and for working capital of the Borrower (including, without limitation (i) the use of Letters of Credit to support obligations arising in the ordinary course of the business
        of the Loan Parties, as such business is permitted to be conducted pursuant to Section 8.2.10 [Continuation of or Change in Business] and (ii) to repay and terminate Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement).

       

      8.1.11  Additional NJR Note Agreements Covenants. In the event that the Borrower shall
        amend any of the NJR Note Agreements, or shall enter into a new NJR Note Agreement, which include one or more negative or financial covenants in addition to or materially more restrictive than those contained in the NJR Note Agreements as of the
        Closing Date, then the Borrower shall offer to the Lenders to amend this Agreement to include such additional negative or financial covenant or covenants in this Agreement pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably
        satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. In such event, the Borrower promptly, upon acceptance of any offer referred to in the preceding sentence, shall execute and deliver at its expense an amendment to this Agreement in form and
        substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower evidencing the amendment of this Agreement to include such additional or materially more restrictive covenant or covenants (any such new additional covenant(s) so
        included in this Agreement being called an “Incorporated Covenant(s)”). In the event that at any time and from time to time after the execution of such an amendment with
        respect to any Incorporated Covenant, the applicable NJR Note Agreement or other similar agreement shall no longer include such Incorporated Covenant, then upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent and the
        Lenders shall execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s expense, an amendment to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower evidencing the amendment of this Agreement to
        delete such Incorporated Covenant from this Agreement.

      8.1.12  Notice of Reportable Compliance Event. The Loan Parties covenant and agree that

      8.1.13  Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party jointly and severally (together with
        each other Qualified ECP Loan Party) hereby absolutely unconditionally and irrevocably (a) guarantees the prompt payment and performance of all Swap Obligations owing by each Non-Qualifying Party (it being understood and agreed that this guarantee
        is a guaranty of payment and not of collection), and (b) undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by any Non-Qualifying Party to honor all of such Non-Qualifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement
        or any other Loan Document in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Loan Party shall only be
        liable under this Section 8.1.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 8.1.13, or otherwise under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, voidable under
        applicable law, including applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under this Section 8.1.13 shall remain in full force and effect
        until payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party intends that this Section 8.1.13 constitute, and this Section 8.1.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee
        of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the CEA.

       

      8.1.14  Additional Information. Each Loan Party shall provide to the Administrative
        Agent and the Lenders such information and documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from time to time for purposes of compliance by the Administrative Agent and such Lender with applicable laws
        (including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act and other “know your customer”, “beneficial ownership” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations), and any policy or procedure implemented by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to comply
        therewith, including, without limitation, a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership if the Borrower is no longer exempt therefrom or the Administrative Agent or such Lender requires such for such policy or procedure compliance.

       

      8.1.15  Joinder of Guarantors. Any Subsidiary of the Borrower which is required to join
        this Agreement as a Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.2.8 [Subsidiaries] shall (i) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Guarantor Joinder pursuant to which it shall join as a Guarantor each of the documents to which the Guarantors are
        parties; and (ii) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent documents in the forms described in Section 7.1.2 [Secretary’s Certificate] modified as appropriate to relate to such Subsidiary and (iii) satisfy such other requirements as
        reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. The Loan Parties shall deliver such Guarantor Joinder and related documents to the Administrative Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of the filing of such Subsidiary’s articles
        of incorporation if the Subsidiary is a corporation, the date of the filing of its certificate of limited partnership if it is a limited partnership or the date of its organization if it is an entity other than a limited partnership or corporation,

            in the aggregate thereunder for which any Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan Party may be obligated as a borrower or guarantor in excess of $30,000,000, and such breach, default or event of default consists of the failure to pay (beyond any
            period of grace permitted with respect thereto, whether waived or not) any obligation when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) or if such breach or default permits or causes the acceleration of any obligation (whether
            or not such right shall have been waived) or the termination of any such agreement;

       

      9.1.6  Final Judgments or Orders. Any final judgments or orders for the payment of
        money in excess of $30,000,000 in the aggregate shall be entered against any Loan Party by a court having jurisdiction in the premises, and there is a period of forty-five (45) consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment,
        by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, is not in effect;

        valid and binding agreements enforceable against the party executing the same or such party’s successors and assigns (as permitted under the Loan Documents) in accordance with the respective terms thereof or shall in any way be terminated (except
        in accordance with its terms) or become or be declared ineffective or inoperative or shall in any way be challenged or contested or cease to give or provide the respective rights, titles, interests, remedies, powers or privileges intended to be

      9.2.1  Events of Default Other Than Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Reorganization Proceedings.
        If an Event of Default specified under Sections 9.1.1 [Payments Under Loan Documents] through 9.1.11 [Change of Control] shall occur and be continuing, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be under no further obligation to make Loans and
        the Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue Letters of Credit and the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders, shall (i) by written notice to the Borrower, declare the unpaid principal amount of the Notes
        then outstanding and all interest accrued thereon, any unpaid fees and all other Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to be forthwith due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become and be immediately due and
        payable to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Lender without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and (ii) require the Borrower to, and the Borrower shall thereupon,
        deposit in a non-interest-bearing account with the Administrative Agent, as cash collateral for its Obligations under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the maximum amount currently or at any time thereafter available to be drawn on all
        outstanding Letters of Credit, and the Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and grants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a security interest in, all such cash as security for such Obligations; and

       

      9.2.2  Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Reorganization Proceedings. If an Event of Default
        specified under Section 9.1.12 [Relief Proceedings] shall occur, the Lenders shall be under no further obligations to make Loans hereunder and the Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue Letters of Credit and the unpaid principal
        amount of the Loans then outstanding and all interest accrued thereon, any unpaid fees and all other Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder and thereunder shall be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or
        notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived; and

       

      9.2.3  Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
        Lender, the Issuing Lender, and each of their respective Affiliates and any participant of such Lender or Affiliate which has agreed in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] is hereby authorized at
        any time and from time to time, 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 whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in
        whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate or participant to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing
        under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, the Issuing Lender, Affiliate or participant, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Lender, Affiliate or participant shall have made any demand under this Agreement or
        any other Loan Document and although such Obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the Issuing Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit
        or obligated on such Indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates and participants under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender,
        the Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates and participants may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application; and

       

      9.2.4  Application of Proceeds. From and after the date on which the Administrative
        Agent has taken any action pursuant to this Section 9.2 and until Payment in Full, any and all proceeds received by the Administrative Agent from any sale or other disposition of any collateral, or any part thereof, or the exercise of any other
        remedy by the Administrative Agent, shall be applied as follows:

       

      (i)         First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, the Issuing Lender
            in its capacity as such and the Swing Loan Lender in its capacity as such, ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause First payable to them;

       

      
        83

        
          

      

      (ii)        Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees,
            ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

       

      (iii)      Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in
            this clause Third payable to them;

       

      (iv)      Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and payment obligations then owing under Lender Provided Interest Rate Hedges, and Other Lender
            Provided Financial Service Products, ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Lender, and the Lenders or Affiliates of Lenders which provide Lender Provided Interest Rate Hedges and Other Lender Provided Financial Service Products, in proportion
            to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

       

      (v)        Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, to cash collateralize any undrawn amounts under outstanding Letters of Credit; and

       

      (vi)         Last, the balance, if any, to the Loan Parties or as required by Law.

       

      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.2.4, no Swap Obligations of any Non-Qualifying Party shall be paid with amounts received from such
        Non-Qualifying Party under its Guaranty Agreement (including sums received as a result of the exercise of remedies with respect to such Guaranty Agreement) or from any proceeds of any such Non-Qualifying Party’s collateral if such Swap Obligations
        would constitute Excluded Hedge Liabilities; provided, however, that to the extent possible appropriate adjustments shall be
        made with respect to payments and/or the proceeds of any collateral from other Loan Parties that are Eligible Contract Participants with respect to such Swap Obligations to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this
        Section 9.2.4.

       

      10.          THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

       

      10.1       Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints PNC to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender 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. The provisions of this Article 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary
            of any of such provisions. 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.

       

      10.2         Rights as a Lender. 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 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 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.

       

      
        84

        
          

      

      10.3         Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly specified herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in
            nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

       

      (a)          shall not be subject to any
            fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

       

      (b)      shall not 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); 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 Insolvency Proceeding or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Insolvency Proceeding; and

       

      (c)          shall not, except as expressly
            specified herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the
            Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

       

      The Administrative Agent shall not 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 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] and
        9.2 [Consequences of Event of Default]) 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. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to
        have knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Potential Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower, the Issuing Lender or a Lender.

       

      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 specified herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential 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 specified in Article 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items
        expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

       

      
        85

        
          

      

      10.4         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 of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the
            Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing 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 the Borrower), 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.

       

      10.5        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 Article 10
            shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as
            well as activities as 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.

       

      10.6          Resignation of Administrative Agent.

       

      (a)          The Administrative Agent may at any
            time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the Borrower (so long as no Potential Default
            or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, such approval of the Borrower not to be to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with
            an office in New York. 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 and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications specified 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. 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.

       

      
        86

        
          

      

      (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 Lenders or the Issuing Lender 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 (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 and Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. 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. 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 this Article and Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] 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 Administrative Agent.

       

      If PNC resigns as Administrative Agent under this Section 10.6, PNC shall also resign as an Issuing Lender. Upon the appointment of a successor
        Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall (i) succeed to all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of PNC as the retiring Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent and PNC shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and
        obligations as Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by PNC, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement
        satisfactory to PNC to effectively assume the obligations of PNC with respect to such Letters of Credit.

       

      10.7         Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges 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 credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges 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 decisions in taking or
            not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

       

      10.8      No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the “lead arrangers”, “documentation agents” or “syndication agents”, if any, listed on the cover page hereof shall 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 or the Issuing Lender hereunder.

       

      10.9       Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a nonrefundable fee (the “Administrative Agent’s Fee”) under the
            terms of a letter (the “Administrative Agent’s Letter”) between the Borrower and Administrative Agent, as amended from time to time.

       

      10.10      Authorization to Release Collateral and Guarantors. The Lenders and the Issuing Lender authorize the Administrative Agent to release (i) any collateral under the Loan Documents, and (ii) any Guarantor from its
            obligations under the Guaranty Agreement if the ownership interests in such Guarantor are sold or otherwise disposed of or transferred to persons other than Loan Parties or Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties in a transaction permitted under
            Section 8.2.6 [Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries] or Section 8.2.5 [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions].

       

      
        87

        
          

      

      10.11     No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative
            Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the
            regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law or any Anti-Corruption Law, including any
            programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification
            procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

       

      10.12       ERISA Matters.

       

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

       

      (i)          such Lender is not using “plan
            assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the
            Commitments or this Agreement,

        88

        
          

      

      (b)         In addition, unless either (1)
            sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding Section 10.12(a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately
            preceding Section 10.12(a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases

      10.13       Erroneous Payments.

       

      
        89

        
          

      

      (a)        If the Administrative Agent notifies
            the Issuing Lender, a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender (any such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other recipient, a “Payment
              Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any
            funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or
            other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated
            by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or the Issuing Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment
            Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the
            currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative
            Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the
            Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

       

      (b)        Without limiting immediately
            preceding clause (a), each Lender, the Issuing Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives a
            payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than,
            or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or
            accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received,
            in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

       

      (i)          (A) in the case of immediately
            preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the
            Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or
            repayment; and

       

      (ii)          such Lender or the Issuing Lender
            shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment,
            prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.13(b).

       

      (c)         Each Lender and the Issuing Lender
            hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the Issuing Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such
            Lender or the Issuing Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

       

      
        90

        
          

      

      (d)         In the event that an Erroneous
            Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a),
            from any Lender or the Issuing Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount,
            an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or the Issuing Lender at any time, (i) such Lender or the Issuing Lender
            shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) or Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment
              Impacted Loan”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) or Letter of Credit Obligations of the
            Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the
            Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or the Issuing Lender
            shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency
            Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender or the Issuing Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or
            assigning Issuing Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its
            applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency
            Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment
            Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or the Issuing Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan or Letter of Credit Obligations (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other
            rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or the Issuing Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the
            Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion
            thereof) or Letter of Credit Obligations acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually
            subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or the Issuing Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous

              Payment Subrogation Rights”).

       

      (e)          The parties hereto agree that an
            Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of
            such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

       

      (f)         To the extent permitted by
            applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or
            counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

       

      (g)       Each party’s obligations, agreements
            and waivers under this Section 10.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under
            any Loan Document.

      11.          MISCELLANEOUS

       

      11.1         Modifications, Amendments or Waivers. With the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of all the Lenders, and the Borrower, on behalf of the Loan Parties, may from time to
            time enter into written agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the rights of the Lenders or the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder, or may grant written waivers or consents hereunder or
            thereunder. Any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent shall be effective to bind all the Lenders and the Loan Parties; provided, that no such agreement,
            waiver or consent may be made which will:

       

      11.1.1  Increase of Commitment. Increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment

        taking of any action or reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, in each case without the consent of all of the Lenders;

       

      provided that no agreement, waiver or consent which would
          modify the interests, rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, or the Swing Loan Lender may be made without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender, as applicable,
          and provided, further that, if in connection with any proposed waiver, amendment or modification referred to in Sections
          11.1.1 through 11.1.4 above, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each a “Non-Consenting

            Lender”), then the Borrower shall have the right to replace any such Non-Consenting Lender with one or more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 5.13 [Replacement of a Lender]. 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 Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended, the maturity of any
            of its Loans may not be extended or the principal amount of or the rate of interest borne by any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to such Lender may not be reduced, in each case  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.

       

      
        92

        
          

      

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical
        error or other defect in any provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake,
        typographical error or other defect, and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent
        within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

       

      Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent on its behalf, and
        without further consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent), to amend and restate this Agreement and the other Loan Documents if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall

          entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.9 [Increased Costs], 5.10 [Taxes], 5.11 [Indemnity] and 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such amendment and
          restatement.

      

      

      11.2         No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement or any other Loan
            Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. The rights and
            remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have.

       

      11.3          Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

       

      11.3.1  Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all documented out-of-pocket
        expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), and shall pay all reasonable and documented fees and time charges
        and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, 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 documented out-of-pocket expenses
        incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any

      11.3.2  Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the
        Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and 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 counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify
        and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all reasonable and documented fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or

        nonperformance 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) breach of
        representations, warranties or covenants of the Borrower under the Loan Documents, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, including any such items or losses relating to or

        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 (y) 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. This Section 11.3.2 [Indemnification by the Borrower] shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

       

      11.3.3  Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails
        to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 11.3.1 [Costs and Expenses] or 11.3.2 [Indemnification by the Borrower] to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing 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 or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the applicable
        unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the
        case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such
        sub-agent) or Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity.

       

      11.3.4  Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
        applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in
        connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, 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. No
        Indemnitee referred to in Section 11.3.2 [Indemnification by Borrower] 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

      11.3.6  Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.3 shall survive the
        termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder.

       

      11.4         Holidays. Whenever payment of a Loan to be made or taken hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day such payment shall be due on the next Business Day (except as provided in Section 4.2 [Interest

      11.5.1  Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications
        expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in Section 11.5.2 [Electronic Communications]), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier
        service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile (i) if to a Lender, to it at its address set forth in its administrative questionnaire, or (ii) if to any other Person, to it at its address set forth on Schedule 1.1(B).

       

      Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received;
        notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the
        recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 11.5.2 [Electronic Communications], shall be effective as provided in such Section.

       

      11.5.2  Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and
        the Issuing Lender hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided
        that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Lender if such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic
        communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address
        shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not 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, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause
        (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email
        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.

       

      
        95

        
          

      

      11.5.3  Change of Address, Etc. Any party hereto may change its address, e-mail address
        or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

       

      11.5.4  Platform. Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall
        not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or
        omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, 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, as used in this Section, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any of the Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, 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 unless, and
        only in the case of direct, out-of-pocket losses, such direct, out-of-pocket losses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
        Administrative Agent. “Communications” as used in this Section 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 or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the
        Platform.

       

      11.6         Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to
            such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.
            Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Insolvency Proceedings, as determined in good faith
            by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

       

      11.7          Duration; Survival. All representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained herein or made in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the completion of the transactions
            hereunder and Payment In Full. All covenants and agreements of the Borrower contained herein relating to the payment of principal, interest, premiums, additional compensation or expenses and indemnification, including those set forth in the
            Notes, Article 5 [Payments] and Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver], shall survive Payment In Full. All other covenants and agreements of the Loan Parties shall continue in full force and effect from and after the Closing Date and
            until Payment In Full.

      11.8         Successors and Assigns.

       

      11.8.1  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, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
        hereunder (including, in each case, by way of an LLC Division) 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 Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders],

       

      (ii)          by way of participation in

      (iii)       by way of pledge or assignment of a
            security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.8.5 [Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally] (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 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 Section 11.8.4 [Participations] 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.

       

      11.8.2  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 the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount
            specified in Section 11.8.2(i)(b) in the 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 clause
            (i)(a) of this Section 11.8.2, 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 Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and
            Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the assigning Lender, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no 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.

       

      
        97

        
          

      

      (iii)       Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 11.8.2(i)(b) and, in addition:

       

      (a)          the consent of the Borrower (such
            consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) 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 (5)
            Business Days after having received notice thereof;

       

      (b)         the consent of the Issuing Lender
            (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

       

      (c)         the consent of the Administrative
            Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

       

      (iv)         Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of
            $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire provided by the Administrative Agent.

       

      (v)        No Assignment to Borrower or Defaulting Lender. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or to a Defaulting Lender.

       

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

       

      Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.8.3 [Register], from and after the effective date specified in each
        Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, 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 Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption
        Agreement 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 5.9 [Increased Costs], 5.10 [Taxes], 5.11 [Indemnity] and 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or
        transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.8.2 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 Section 11.8.4 [Participations].

       

      11.8.3  Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent
        of the Borrower, shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. Such register shall be conclusive,
        and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such
        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.

       

      
        98

        
          

      

      11.8.4  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 or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (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 Lenders, and the Issuing Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

       

      Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
        enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender
        will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to Sections 11.1.1 [Increase of Commitment], 11.1.2 [Extension of Payment, Etc.], or 11.1.3
        [Release of Guarantor] that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4 [Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR Unascertainable, Etc.], 5.9 [Increased Costs], 5.11 [Indemnity]
        and 5.10 [Taxes] (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.10.7 [Status of Lenders] (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.10.7 [Status of Lenders] shall be
        delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders]; provided
        that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.13 [Replacement of a Lender] and Section 5.6.2 [Designation of Different Lending Office] as if it were an assignee under Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders]; and (B)
        shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.9 [Increased Costs] or 5.10 [Taxes], with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement
        to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to
        cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.13 [Replacement of a Lender] and Section 5.6.2 [Designation of Different Lending Office] with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also
        shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.2.3 [Set-off] as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by
        Lenders] as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts
        (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under 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.

       

      
        99

        
          

      

      11.8.5  Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. 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.

       

      11.9         Confidentiality.

       

      11.9.1  General. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender
        agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives
        (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), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
        purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal
        process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) 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, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or
        obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the extent such
        Information (Y) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (Z) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis
        from a source other than the Borrower or the other Loan Parties. 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.

       

      11.9.2  Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Lenders. Each Loan Party
        acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to the Borrower or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or
        more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each of the Loan Parties hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement to any such Subsidiary or
        Affiliate subject to the provisions of Section 11.9.1 [General].

       

      The Administrative Agent or any Lender may use, in connection with customary advertising material relating to the transactions contemplated hereby
        (subject, however, to the Borrower’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), the name, product photographs, logo or trademark of the Loan Parties. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may 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 agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other
        Loan Documents and the Commitments.

      11.10.1  Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in
        counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any
        separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or
        written, relating to the subject matter hereof including any prior confidentiality agreements and commitments. Except as provided in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit], this Agreement shall become effective when it
        shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart
        of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

       

      11.10.2  Electronic Execution.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words
        of like import in any Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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.

       

      11.11     CHOICE OF LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF VENUE; SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

       

      11.11.1  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws
        of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any trade Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement shall be subject to the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published
        by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) at the time of issuance (“UCP”), and any standby
        Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement shall be subject to the rules of the International Standby Practices (ICC Publication Number 590) (“ISP98”), and, in each case to
        the extent not inconsistent therewith, the Laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

       

      11.11.2  SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY
        AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN MANHATTAN AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE
        COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES
        THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL
        JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT
        THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE ISSUING LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS
        OF ANY JURISDICTION.

            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

       

      
        102

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

       

      11.14       USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the
            USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative
            Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the
            Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

       

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

       

      (a)          in the event a Covered Entity that
            is party to a Supported QFC (each, for purposes of this Section, 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; and

       

      
        103

        
          

      

      (b)       in addition to the specifically
            defined terms referenced in this Section that apply solely to this Section, the following capitalized terms used in this Section have the following meanings:

       

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

       

      “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that
        term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b), (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and
        interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

       

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

       

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

       

      11.16      Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement. All references to the “Agreement” contained in the Loan Documents delivered in connection with the Existing
            Credit Agreement or this Agreement shall, and shall be deemed to, refer to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement by this Agreement, the Obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan
            Parties outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents as of the Closing Date shall remain outstanding and shall constitute continuing Obligations without novation. Such Obligations shall in all respects be continuing
            and this Agreement shall not be deemed to evidence or result in a novation or repayment and reborrowing of such Obligations.

        (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and each of the Lenders signatory hereto.  Each capitalized term used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment has the definition specified in the Amended Credit Agreement described below.

       

      RECITALS:

      

      

      A.        The Borrower, the Guarantors from time to time party thereto, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have entered into that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as
        of September 2, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have made available to the Borrower a revolving credit
        facility.

       

      B.          The Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders amend the Existing Credit Agreement in such a manner that, upon giving effect to such amendments, the Existing
        Credit Agreement as so amended would contain the terms, covenants, conditions and other provisions as contained in the form set forth as Annex A to this Amendment (the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, the “Amended Credit
          Agreement”).

       

      C.         The Administrative Agent and each Lender signatory hereto are willing to so amend the Existing Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

       

      In consideration of the premises and further valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

       

      1.         Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the
        other Loan Parties made herein,

       

      (a)         The Existing Credit Agreement (other than the annexes, schedules and the exhibits attached thereto) is hereby amended so that, as amended, it shall read as set forth in, and shall have
        the terms, covenants, conditions and other provisions of, the Amended Credit Agreement, the terms, covenants, conditions and other provisions of which Amended Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Amendment as if fully set
        forth herein.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement reflected in the Amended Credit Agreement is and shall be effective as if individually specified in this Amendment (the parties further
        acknowledging that amending the Existing Credit Agreement by reference to the Amended Credit Agreement provides a convenience to the parties to permit the amended terms to be read in the context of the full Amended Credit Agreement), and that this
        Amendment is not a novation of the Existing Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or of any Indebtedness or other obligations thereunder or in respect thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement
        applicable to existing LIBOR Rate Loans (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) (the “Existing LIBOR Rate Loans”) shall continue in full force and effect and shall continue to apply to each Existing LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest
        Period (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) that commenced prior to the Amendment Effective Date solely until the expiration of the then current Interest Period for such Existing LIBOR Rate Loan; provided that from and after
        the Amendment Effective Date, (i) the Borrower shall not be permitted to request any Lender to fund, and no Lender shall fund, any LIBOR Rate Loan and (ii) no Loan may be continued as, or converted to, a LIBOR Rate Loan.

       

      
        
          

      

      (b)          Schedule 1.1(A) (Pricing Grid) to the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in Schedule 1.1(A) attached hereto.

       

      (c)        Each of Exhibit 2.4 (Loan Request) and Exhibit 2.5 (Swing Loan Request) to the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, in each case, as
        set forth in the respective Exhibit 2.4 and Exhibit 2.5 attached hereto.

                enforceability of any of such Loan Document may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally or limiting the right of specific
                performance.

                hereof and supersedes any prior negotiations and agreements among the parties relating to such subject matter.  No promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not set forth in the Relevant Documents shall bind any
                party hereto, and no such party has relied on any such promise, condition, representation or warranty.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly stated in the Relevant Documents, no representations,
                warranties or commitments, express or implied, have been made by any party to the other in relation to the subject matter hereof or thereof.  None of the terms or conditions of this Amendment may be changed, modified, waived or canceled
                orally or otherwise, except in writing and in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Amended Credit Agreement.

                all respects and shall be and remain in full force and effect according to their respective terms. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the amendments contained herein do not constitute a novation of
                  the Existing Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Indebtedness described therein and shall not affect, diminish or abrogate any Loan Party’s liability under the Existing Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement or any
                  other Loan Document.

            

       

      	

            	6.	
              Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the
                same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy or other electronic imaging means (i.e., in “.pdf” or “.tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
                of this Amendment.

            

       

      	

            	7.	
              Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Etc.  THIS AMENDMENT SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH
                STATE, AND SHALL BE FURTHER SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 11.11 OF THE AMENDED CREDIT AGREEMENT.

            

       

      	

            	8.	
              Enforceability.  Should any one or more of the provisions of this Amendment be determined to be illegal or unenforceable as to one or more of the parties hereto, all other provisions nevertheless shall remain effective and binding
                on the parties hereto.

            

       

      	

            	9.	
              Ratification and Confirmation of Loan Documents.  Each Loan Party hereby consents to, acknowledges and agrees to the amendments set forth herein and hereby confirms and ratifies in all respects the Loan Documents (including,
                without limitation, the continuation of each Loan Party’s payment and performance obligations thereunder) and the enforceability of each Loan Document against each Loan Party in accordance with its terms, in each case upon and after the
                effectiveness of this Amendment and the amendments contemplated hereby.

            

       

      	

            	10.	
              References.  All references in any of the Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement” shall mean the Amended Credit Agreement.

            

       

      	

            	11.	
              Successors and Assigns.  This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and their respective successors and assignees to the extent such assignees are
                permitted assignees as provided in Section 11.8 of the Amended Credit Agreement.

              or such Loan Document, and (l) unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall constitute references to Eastern Standard Time.

            1.3         Accounting Principles; Changes in GAAP. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all computations and determinations as to accounting or financial matters and all
              financial statements to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP (including principles of consolidation where appropriate), and all accounting or financial terms shall have the meanings
              ascribed to such terms by GAAP as in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if at any time any change in GAAP or in the application of GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in
              any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent
              thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (b)
              each financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document shall be computed (i) to exclude any change to lease accounting rules from those in effect pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification 840 (Leases) and other related lease
              accounting guidance as in effect on February 16, 2018 and (ii) using the methodology for the recognition of investment tax credits for solar generation projects used by the Borrower in the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019 and (c) the
              Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, concurrently with the delivery of the financial statements required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder, a reconciliation between calculations of any
              such financial ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such changes in GAAP described in the foregoing clauses (a) or (b).

             

            1.4      Term SOFR/Daily Simple SOFR Notification. Section 4.4(e) [Benchmark Replacement Setting] of this Agreement provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of
              interest in the event that the Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR is no longer available or in certain other circumstances. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for and shall not have any liability with
              respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor.

             

            2.          REVOLVING CREDIT AND SWING LOAN FACILITIES

             

            2.1          Commitments.

             

            2.1.1      Revolving Credit Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to
              make Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars to the Borrower at any time or from time to time on or after the date hereof to, but not including, the Expiration Date, provided that, after giving effect to each such Revolving Credit Loan the
              aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans from such Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment minus such Lender’s Ratable Share of the amount of (a) Letter of Credit Obligations and (b) outstanding Swing Loans (and if
              the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit Loans from any Lender shall exceed such sum, the Borrower shall immediately repay the amount of such excess); and provided further that the Facility Usage at any time shall not exceed the Revolving
              Credit Commitments of all the Lenders (and if the Facility Usage shall exceed such sum, the Borrower shall immediately repay the amount of such excess). Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this
              Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.1. The outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the Expiration Date.

             

            
              30

              
                

            

            2.1.2      Swing Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, PNC may at its discretion make Swing
              Loans to the Borrower in Dollars at the Borrower’s request as hereinafter provided, from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal amount of up to but not in excess of the Swing
              Loan Commitment, provided that the Facility Usage at any time (after giving effect to any requested Swing Loan) shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of all the Lenders. Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the
              other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.2. The outstanding principal amount of all Swing Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable on the
              earlier of the Settlement Date applicable thereto or the Expiration Date.

             

            2.2         Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans. Each Lender shall be obligated to participate in each request for Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to
              Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] in accordance with its Ratable Share. The aggregate amount of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding hereunder to the Borrower at any time shall never exceed its Revolving Credit
              Commitment minus its Ratable Share of the amount of Letter of Credit Obligations and outstanding Swing Loans. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several. The failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not
              affect the Obligations of the Borrower to any other party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder
              on or after the Expiration Date.

             

            2.3         Commitment Fees. Accruing from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of each Lender,
              as consideration for such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder according to its Ratable Share, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate
              (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) multiplied by the actual daily difference between the amount of (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the Facility Usage (provided
              however, that solely in connection with determining the share of each Lender in the Commitment Fee, the Facility Usage with respect to the portion of the Commitment Fee allocated to PNC shall include the full amount of the outstanding Swing
              Loans, and with respect to the portion of the Commitment Fee allocated by the Administrative Agent to all of the Lenders other than PNC, such portion of the Commitment Fee shall be calculated (according to each such Lender’s Ratable Share) as
              if the Facility Usage excludes the outstanding Swing Loans); provided, further, that any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such
              Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the
              Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Subject to the
              proviso in the directly preceding sentence, all Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date.

             

            
              31

              
                

            

            2.4        Revolving Credit Loan Requests. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may from time to time prior to the Expiration Date request the Lenders to make Revolving
              Credit Loans, or renew or convert the Interest Rate Option applicable to existing Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], by delivering to the Administrative Agent (i) not later than 1:00 p.m., three (3) Business
              Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of Revolving Credit Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies or the conversion to or the renewal of the Term SOFR Rate Option for any Loans; and (ii) not later than
              1:00 p.m., the same Business Day of the proposed Borrowing Date with respect to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies or the last day of the preceding Interest Period with respect to the conversion to the
              Base Rate Option for any Loan, of a duly completed request therefor substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.4 or a request by telephone immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or electronic mail in such form (each, a “Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any individual making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation,
              provided such individual purports to be an Authorized Officer. Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the proposed Borrowing Date; (ii) the aggregate amount of the proposed Revolving Credit Loans comprising each
              Borrowing Tranche, the amount of which shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000 for each Borrowing Tranche to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies and not less than the lesser of $1,000,000 and in integral
              multiples of $100,000 or the maximum amount available for Borrowing Tranches to which the Base Rate Option applies; (iii) whether the Term SOFR Rate Option or Base Rate Option shall apply to the proposed Loans comprising the applicable
              Borrowing Tranche; and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing Tranche to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies, an appropriate Interest Period for the Loans comprising such Borrowing Tranche.

             

            2.5         Swing Loan Requests. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Borrower may from time to time prior to the Expiration Date request the Swing Loan Lender to make Swing Loans
              by delivery to the Swing Loan Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on the proposed Borrowing Date of a request therefor duly completed by an Authorized Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.5 hereto or a request by telephone
              immediately confirmed in writing by letter, facsimile or electronic mail (each, a “Swing Loan Request”), it being understood that the Administrative Agent may rely on the authority of any individual
              making such a telephonic request without the necessity of receipt of such written confirmation, provided such individual purports to be an Authorized Officer. Each Swing Loan Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (a) the proposed
              Borrowing Date, (b) the term of the proposed Swing Loan, which shall be no less than one (1) day and no longer than fourteen (14) days (such date, together with any earlier date on which PNC makes demand for repayment thereof, the “Settlement Date”), (c) the principal amount of such Swing Loan, which shall not be less than $250,000.00 and shall be an integral multiple of $50,000.00 and (d) whether such Swing Loan is at the Base Rate
              Option or the Daily Simple SOFR Option. Each Swing Loan shall be payable on demand, and, if no demand is made therefor, on the applicable Settlement Date.

             

            2.6          Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans.

             

            2.6.1      Making Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt by it of a Loan Request for or with respect to Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to
              Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests], notify the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments of its receipt of such Loan Request specifying: (i) the proposed Borrowing Date and the time and method of disbursement of the Revolving Credit
              Loans requested thereby; (ii) the amount and type of each such Revolving Credit Loan and the applicable Interest Period (if any); and (iii) the apportionment among the Lenders of such Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Administrative
              Agent in accordance with Section 2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations etc.]. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan to the Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the
              Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 7.2 [Conditions to Each Additional Loan or Letter of Credit], fund such Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower in
              U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m. on the applicable Borrowing Date, provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner, the Administrative
              Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.6.3 [Presumptions by the
              Administrative Agent].

             

            
              32

              
                

            

            2.6.2      Making Swing Loans. So long as the Swing Loan Lender elects to make Swing Loans, the Swing Loan Lender shall, after receipt by it of a Swing Loan Request pursuant to
              Section 2.5 [Swing Loan Requests] fund such Swing Loan to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m. on the Borrowing Date. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest at the interest rate
              applicable thereto in accordance with Section 4.1.1(c) [Swing Loan Interest Rate].

             

            2.6.3      Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Loan that such Lender
              will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.6.1 [Making Revolving Credit
              Loans] and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the
              applicable 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 such amount is made available to the Borrower
              to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
              banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the
              Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. Any prepayment by the Borrower that shall duplicate a payment by such Lender shall be promptly returned to the Borrower in immediately available funds or
              otherwise as shall be determined by the Borrower and Administrative Agent. 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.

             

            2.6.4      Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans. PNC may, at its option, exercisable at any time for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of the Swing Loans, and each Lender shall make
              a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Loans, plus, if PNC so requests, accrued interest thereon, provided that no Lender shall be obligated
              in any event to make Revolving Credit Loans in excess of its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of Letter of Credit Obligations. Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Base
              Rate Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] without regard to any of the requirements of that provision. PNC shall provide notice to the Lenders (which may be
              telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made under this Section 2.6.4 and of the apportionment among the Lenders, and the Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such
              Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] are then satisfied) by the time PNC so requests, which shall not be earlier than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day next after the date
              the Lenders receive such notice from PNC.

             

            
              33

              
                

            

            2.6.5      Swing Loans Under Cash Management Agreements. In addition to making Swing Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 2.6.3 [Making Swing Loans], without the
              requirement for a specific request from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5 [Swing Loan Requests], PNC as the Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans to the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of the agreements between the Borrower and
              such Swing Loan Lender relating to the Borrower’s deposit, sweep and other accounts at such Swing Loan Lender and related arrangements and agreements regarding the management and investment of the Borrower’s cash assets as in effect from time
              to time (the “Cash Management Agreements”) to the extent of the daily aggregate net negative balance in the Borrower’s accounts which are subject to the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements.
              Swing Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.6.5 in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements shall (i) be subject to the limitations as to aggregate amount set forth in Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitment], (ii) not be
              subject to the limitations as to individual amount set forth in Section 2.5 [Swing Loan Requests], (iii) be payable by the Borrower, both as to principal and interest, at the rates and times set forth in the Cash Management Agreements (but in
              no event later than the Expiration Date), (iv) not be made at any time after such Swing Loan Lender has received written notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, or, unless consented to by
              the Required Lenders, a Potential Default and so long as such shall continue to exist, (v) if not repaid by the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of the Cash Management Agreements, be subject to each Lender’s obligation pursuant to
              Section 2.6.4 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans], and (vi) except as provided in the foregoing subsections (i) through (v), be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Section 2.

             

            2.7         Notes. The Obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans made to it by each Lender, together with
              interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a revolving credit Note and a swing Note, dated the Closing Date payable to the order of such Lender in a face amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment or Swing Loan Commitment, as applicable, of
              such Lender.

             

            2.8         Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in Section 8.1.10 [Use of Proceeds], but in any event not to fund any
              operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or, make any payments to, a Sanctioned Jurisdiction or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law or, in any material respect, in violation of any Anti-Corruption Law.

             

            2.9          Letter of Credit Subfacility.

             

            2.9.1      Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower or any Loan Party may at any time prior to the Expiration Date request the issuance of a standby letter of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) for its own account, or the amendment or extension of an existing Letter of Credit, by delivering or transmitting electronically, or having such other Loan Party deliver or transmit
              electronically to the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a completed application for letter of credit, or request for such amendment or extension, as applicable, in such form as the Issuing Lender may specify from time
              to time by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Borrower or any Loan Party shall authorize and direct the
              Issuing Lender to name the Borrower as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit. Promptly after receipt of any letter of credit application, the Issuing Lender shall confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
              writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.

             

            
              34

              
                

            

            2.9.1.1          Unless the Issuing Lender has received notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one day prior to the requested date of issuance,
              amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] is not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in
              reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.9, the Issuing Lender or any of the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates will issue the proposed Letter of Credit or agree to such amendment or extension, provided that
              each Letter of Credit shall (A) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, and (B) in no event expire later than the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the Expiration Date unless, in the case of a
              Letter of Credit that Borrower requests to expire after the Expiration Date (but not longer than twelve (12) months after the Expiration Date), the Borrower Cash Collateralizes such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.9.1.2 hereof;
              and provided further that in no event shall (i) the Letter of Credit Obligations exceed, at any one time, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or (ii) the Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit Commitments.
              Schedule 2.9.1 sets forth letters of credit issued by PNC, as issuing lender under the Existing Credit Agreement, which are outstanding as of the Closing Date (the “Existing Letters of Credit”). It is
              expressly agreed that the Existing Letters of Credit are Letters of Credit under this Agreement. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the
              Borrower that it shall be in compliance with the preceding sentence and with Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit.
              Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of
              such Letter of Credit or amendment.

             

            2.9.1.2          Upon the request of Administrative Agent, (i) if any Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted
              in an Letter of Credit Borrowing, or (ii) if, on the Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize in an amount equal to one hundred and five
              percent (105%) of the then-outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Lender and the Lenders, a security interest in all cash collateral pledged
              pursuant to this Section or otherwise under this Agreement.

             

            2.9.1.3          Notwithstanding Section 2.9.1.1, the Issuing Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Official Body
              or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any
              Official Body with jurisdiction over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender
              with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) 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, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing
              Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.

             

            2.9.2      Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of
                Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate on the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit, and (ii) to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the
              daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit. All Letter of Credit Fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment
              Date following issuance of each Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall also pay to the Issuing Lender for the Issuing Lender’s sole account the Issuing Lender’s then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to
              the Letters of Credit as the Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, amendment (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of
              Credit.

             

            
              35

              
                

            

            2.9.3     Disbursements, Reimbursement. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to,
              purchase from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of
              such drawing, respectively.

             

            2.9.3.1          In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the
              Administrative Agent thereof. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement
                Obligation”) the Issuing Lender prior to 12:00 p.m. on each date that an amount is paid by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) by paying to the
              Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuing Lender. In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse the Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) for the full amount of
              any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 p.m. on the Drawing Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made by the Lenders
              under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan
              or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements. Any notice given by the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9.3.1 may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an
              immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

             

            2.9.3.2          Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.9.3.1 make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount in immediately
              available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements; Reimbursement]) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan under the Base
              Rate Option to the Borrower in that amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount by no later than 2:00
              p.m. on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Effective Federal Funds Rate
              during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The
              Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender will promptly give notice (as described in Section 2.9.3.1 above) of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender to give any such notice on the
              Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.9.3.2.

             

            2.9.3.3          With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in whole or in part as contemplated by
              Section 2.9.3.1, because of the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements, or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred
              from the Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and
              shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option. Each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements,
              Reimbursement] shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing (each a “Participation Advance”) from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation
              obligation under this Section 2.9.3.

             

            
              36

              
                

            

            2.9.4       Repayment of Participation Advances.

             

            2.9.4.1          Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender of immediately available funds from the Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any
              payment made by the Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by the Issuing Lender under
              such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the
              Administrative Agent shall retain for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by the Issuing Lender.

             

            2.9.4.2          If the Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency
              Proceeding, any portion of any payment made by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made under any Letter of Credit or interest or fees
              thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent plus
              interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Effective Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time.

             

            2.9.5      Documentation. Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Issuing Lender’s application and agreement for letters of credit and the Issuing Lender’s written
              regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Loan Party’s own. In the event of a conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement
              shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following
              any Loan Party’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto; provided that each Loan Party agrees that all instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by a
              Loan Party with respect to any Letter of Credit shall be provided in writing.

             

            2.9.6     Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender
              shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

             

            2.9.7      Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or Participation
              Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement], as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be
              absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.9 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

             

            
              37

              
                

            

            (i)          any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, the Borrower or any other Person
              for any reason whatsoever, or which any Loan Party may have against the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates, any Lender or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

             

            (ii)          the failure of any Loan Party or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in Sections 2.1 [Revolving Credit
              Commitments], 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests], 2.6 [Making Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans; Etc.] or 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement for the making of a
              Revolving Credit Loan, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements,
              Reimbursement];

             

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

             

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

             

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

             

            (vi)        payment by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply
              with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

             

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

             

            (viii)      any failure by the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by any Loan Party, unless the Issuing Lender has received written
              notice from such Loan Party of such failure within three Business Days after the Issuing Lender shall have furnished such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has
              been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

             

            (ix)        any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party;

             

            
              38

              
                

            

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

             

            (xi)         the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party;

             

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

             

            (xiii)      the fact that the Expiration Date shall have passed or this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and

             

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

             

            2.9.8     Indemnity. The Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Lender and any of its Affiliates that has issued a Letter of Credit from and
              against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel)
              which the Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
              Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) the wrongful dishonor by the Administrative Agent or any of Administrative Agent’s Affiliates of a proper demand for payment made
              under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Official Body.

             

            2.9.9      Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any Loan Party and the Issuing Lender, or the Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, such Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and
              omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for any of the following,
              including any losses or damages to any Loan Party or other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the
              application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates shall have been
              notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which
              may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in
              order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit
              or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical
              terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of
              Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates, as applicable, including any act or omission of any Official Body,
              and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Lender’s or its Affiliates rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the Issuing Lender from liability for the
              Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates be liable to any Loan Party
              for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

             

            
              39

              
                

            

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

             

            In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under or in connection with
              the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender.

             

            2.9.10    Issuing Lender Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Lender shall, on the first Business Day of each month, provide to Administrative Agent and Borrower a schedule of the
              Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), and the expiration date of any Letter of
              Credit outstanding at any time during the preceding month, and any other information relating to such Letter of Credit that the Administrative Agent may request.

             

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

             

            (i)       fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3 [Commitment Fees];

             

            (ii)        the Commitment and outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder
              (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers]); provided, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an
              amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby;

             

            
              40

              
                

            

            (iii)        if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letter of Credit Obligations exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

             

            (a)          all or any part of the outstanding Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance
              with their respective Ratable Shares but only to the extent that (x) the Facility Usage does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments, and (y) no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and
              is continuing at such time;

             

            (b)          if the reallocation described in clause (a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative
              Agent (x) first, prepay such outstanding Swing Loans, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations
              (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a) above) in a deposit account held at the Administrative Agent for so long as such Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding;

             

            (c)          if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to clause (b) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay
              any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are cash
              collateralized;

             

            (d)          if the Letter of Credit Obligations of the Non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (a) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.9.2
              [Letter of Credit Fees] shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Share; and

             

            (e)          if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, then, without
              prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations shall
              be payable to the Issuing Lender (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

             

            (iv)          so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any
              Letter of Credit, unless the Issuing Lender is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting
              Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.10(iii), and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among
              Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.10(iii)(a) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

             

            
              41

              
                

            

            If (i) an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to a parent company of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue, or (ii) PNC or the Issuing Lender has a good
              faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be
              required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless PNC or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to PNC or the Issuing Lender, as the case may
              be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

             

            In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, PNC and the Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to
              be a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and the Ratable Share of the Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s
              Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in
              accordance with its Ratable Share.

             

            2.11        Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments.

             

            (i)          Increasing Lenders and New Lenders. The Borrower may, at any time prior to the Expiration Date up to two (2) times, request that (1) the current Lenders increase their
              Revolving Credit Commitments (any current Lender which elects to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be referred to as an “Increasing Lender”) or (2) one or more new lenders (each a “New Lender”) join this Agreement and provide a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, subject to the following terms and conditions:

             

            (a)         No Obligation to Increase. No current Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment by any

            (b)          Defaults. There shall exist no Event of Default or Potential Default on the effective date of such increase after giving effect to such increase.

             

            (c)       Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in Section 6 [Representations and Warranties] (other than the
              representations and warranties contained in the first sentence of Section 6.1.6 [Litigation], the last sentence of Section 6.1.8 [Historical Statements; No Material Adverse Change], and Section 6.1.19 [Environmental Matters]) and in the other
              Loan Documents shall be true on and as of the date of such extension with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date (except representations and warranties which expressly relate solely
              to an earlier date or time, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct on and as of the specific dates or times referred to therein), and the Loan Parties shall have performed and complied with all covenants and conditions
              hereof.

            (e)          Minimum Revolving Credit Commitments. The aggregate increased amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be at least $50,000,000; and

             

            (f)          Resolutions; Opinion. The Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on or before the effective date of such increase the following documents in a form
              reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent: (1) certifications of their corporate secretaries with attached resolutions certifying that the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment has been approved by such Loan Parties, and (2) an

              42

              
                

            

            (g)          Notes. The Borrower shall execute and deliver (1) to each Increasing Lender a replacement revolving credit Note reflecting the new amount of such Increasing Lender’s
              Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to the increase (and the prior Note issued to such Increasing Lender shall be deemed to be terminated) and (2) to each New Lender a revolving credit Note reflecting the amount of such New
              Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.

             

            (h)          Approval of New Lenders. Any New Lender shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Administrative Agent.

             

            (i)        Increasing Lenders. Each Increasing Lender shall confirm its agreement to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to an acknowledgement in a form acceptable to
              the Administrative Agent, signed by it and the Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) days before the effective date of such increase.

             

            (j)           New Lenders--Joinder. Each New Lender shall execute a lender joinder in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.11 pursuant to which such New Lender shall join and
              become a party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with a Revolving Credit Commitment in the amount set forth in such lender joinder.

             

            (ii)         Treatment of Outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit.

             

            (a)         Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans. On the on the effective date of such increase, the Borrower shall repay all Loans then outstanding, subject to the
              Borrower’s indemnity obligations under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]; provided that it may borrow new Loans with a Borrowing Date on such date. Each of the Lenders shall participate in any new Loans made on or after such date in accordance with
              their respective Ratable Shares after giving effect to the increase in Revolving Credit Commitments contemplated by this Section 2.11.

             

            (b)         Outstanding Letters of Credit. Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans. On the effective date of such increase, each Increasing Lender and each New Lender
              (i) will be deemed to have purchased a participation in each then outstanding Letter of Credit equal to its Ratable Share of such Letter of Credit and the participation of each other Lender in such Letter of Credit shall be adjusted
              accordingly and (ii) will acquire, (and will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to) its Ratable Share of all outstanding Participation Advances.

             

            2.12       Extension of the Expiration Date.

             

            (i)          Request for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) delivered on any Business Day not less than sixty (60)
              days prior to the Expiration Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Expiration Date”) request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Expiration Date to the date that is one year after the Existing
              Expiration Date then in effect (the “Extended Expiration Date”). The Borrower may only request one (1) Extended Expiration Date pursuant to this Section 2.12 after the First Amendment Effective Date.
              The Business Day upon which any Extended Expiration Date is effective, upon satisfaction of each of the requirements of this Section 2.12, is referred to in this Section 2.12 as an “Extension Effective Date.”

             

            
              43

              
                

            

            (ii)          Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is
              fifteen (15) Business Days after the Business Day on which the Administrative Agent makes the Borrower’s extension request available to the Lenders (the “Lender Decision Date”), advise the
              Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension with respect to its applicable Commitments or Loans (each Lender that determines to so extend its Expiration Date with respect to its applicable Commitments or Loans, an
              “Extending Lender”). Each Lender that determines to extend its Expiration Date with respect to its applicable Commitments or Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such
              determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Decision Date), and any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Lender Decision Date or determines to not extend its Expiration Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) with respect to its applicable Commitment or Loans shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such request for an extension of the Expiration
              Date (whether an Existing Expiration Date or Extended Expiration Date) shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree, and it is understood and agreed that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any such request.

             

            (iii)        Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section 2.12 promptly after the
              Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof and, in any event, no later than the date that is five (5) Business Days after the Lender Decision Date.

             

            (iv)        Additional Commitment Lenders. The Borrower shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, on or before the Existing Expiration Date in accordance with the procedures
              provided in Section 5.13 [Replacement of a Lender] as if such Non-Extending Lender was an Non-Consenting Lender thereunder, to replace each Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more
              assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (in accordance with and subject to the
              restrictions contained in Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders], with the Borrower or such Additional Commitment Lender obligated to pay any applicable processing or recordation fee) with such Non-Extending Lender, pursuant to which such
              Additional Commitment Lenders shall, effective on or before the Existing Expiration Date for such Non-Extending Lender, assume a Commitment and/or Loans (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment and/or
              Loans shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment and Loans hereunder on such date). On the Extension Effective Date, each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be
              bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Lender hereunder and shall have the obligations of a Lender hereunder.

             

            (v)          Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. No Extension Effective Date may occur unless and until:

             

            (a)          the Extending Lenders and the Additional Commitment Lenders who have complied with the preceding subsection (iv) of this Section 2.12, when combined, comprise Required Lenders;

             

            (b)          no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such date and after giving effect to the Extended Expiration Date;

             

            
              44

              
                

            

            (c)          the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in Section 6 [Representations and Warranties] (other than the representations and warranties contained in the
              first sentence of Section 6.1.6 [Litigation], the last sentence of Section 6.1.8 [Historical Statements; No Material Adverse Change], and Section 6.1.19 [Environmental Matters]) and in the other Loan Documents shall be true on and as of the
              date of such extension with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date (except representations and warranties which expressly relate solely to an earlier date or time, which
              representations and warranties shall be true and correct on and as of the specific dates or times referred to therein), and the Loan Parties shall have performed and complied with all covenants and conditions hereof; and

             

            (d)        the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from the Borrower signed by an authorized officer of the Borrower (A) certifying the accuracy of the foregoing clauses
              (i) and (ii) and (B) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Loan Parties approving or consenting to such extension.

             

            (vi)        Expiration Date for Non-Extending Lenders. On the Expiration Date as to each Non-Extending Lender, (i) the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall automatically
              terminate, and (ii) Borrower shall repay the Loans and all other outstanding Obligations owed to such Non-Extending Lender.

             

            (vii)      Amendment. In connection with any Extended Expiration Date, and concurrent with the relevant Extension Effective Date, the Borrower, Administrative Agent and Required
              Lenders may make such amendments to this Agreement as the Administrative Agent and/or Required Lenders determine to be reasonably necessary to effectuate such Extended Expiration Date. This Section shall supersede Sections 5.2 [Pro Rata
              Treatment of Lenders], 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] and 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers].

             

            3.          ESG PROVISIONS

             

            3.1        Sustainability Coordinator, KPIs and ESG. The Borrower, in consultation with a Lender selected by Borrower in its sole discretion (such Lender, in such capacity, the “Sustainability Coordinator”), shall establish specified Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”) with respect to certain Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) targets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Upon effectiveness of the ESG Amendment (defined below), the KPIs will be used, together with the Pricing Grid, to determine pricing for the Loans and
              Letter of Credit Obligations. Based on the Borrower’s performance measured against the KPIs, certain adjustments to the otherwise agreed Commitment Fee, Applicable Margin, and Letter of Credit Fee will be made in an amount not to exceed (a)
              in the case of the Commitment Fee, a one (1) basis point adjustment in the otherwise applicable Commitment Fee, and (b) in the case of the Applicable Margin and the Letter of Credit Fee, a five (5) basis point adjustment in the otherwise in
              effect Applicable Margin or Letter of Credit Fee. The pricing adjustments pursuant to the KPIs will require, among other things, reporting and validation of the measurement of the KPIs in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability
              Linked Loan Principles and is to be agreed between the Borrower and the Sustainability Coordinator (each acting reasonably).

             

            3.2         ESG Pricing Provisions; ESG Amendment. The KPIs and other related provisions (the “ESG Pricing Provisions”) will be provided to the Lenders
              for review in the form of an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (if necessary), prepared by the Administrative Agent, which shall be executed by the Required Lenders, Borrower and the Sustainability Coordinator (such
              amendment, the “ESG Amendment”), notwithstanding any requirement set forth in Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] to the contrary. Following the effectiveness of the ESG Amendment, any
              modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions which does not have the effect of reducing the Commitment Fee, the Applicable Margin, or the Letter of Credit Fee to a level not otherwise permitted by this paragraph shall be subject only to the
              consent of the Required Lenders, notwithstanding any requirement set forth in Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] to the contrary. The Sustainability Coordinator, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, will (i) assist
              the Borrower in determining the ESG Pricing Provisions of the Loans and Letters of Credit and (ii) assist the Borrower in preparing informational materials focused on ESG to be used in connection with the Loans and Letter of Credit
              Obligations.

             

            
              45

              
                

            

            4.          INTEREST RATES

             

            4.1         Interest Rate Options. The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or
              Term SOFR Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans, or the Base Rate Option or the Daily Simple SOFR Option set forth below applicable to the Swing Loans, respectively, it being understood that, subject to the
              provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest
              Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than six (6) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans
              and provided further that if an Event of Default or Potential Default exists and is continuing, the Borrower may not request, convert to, or renew the Term SOFR Rate Option for any Loans and the Required Lenders may demand that
              all existing Borrowing Tranches bearing interest under the Term SOFR Rate Option shall be converted immediately to the Base Rate Option, subject in all cases to the obligation of the Borrower to pay any indemnity under Section 5.11
              [Indemnity] in connection with such conversion. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such
              Lender’s highest lawful rate.  The applicable Base Rate, Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and such determination shall be conclusive absent
              manifest error.

             

            4.1.1       Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options; Swing Line Interest Rate. The Borrower shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the
              Revolving Credit Loans: 

             

            (a)         Revolving Credit Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to
              the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate.

             

            (b)         Revolving Credit Term SOFR Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Term SOFR Rate as determined
              for each applicable Interest Period plus the SOFR Adjustment plus the Applicable Margin.

             

            (c)         Swing Loan Interest Rate: Subject to Section 4.3 [Interest After Default], the Swing Loans shall bear interest, as agreed by the Swing Loan Lender and the Borrower, (i) at
              the Base Rate Option applicable to Revolving Credit Loans, (ii) at a fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment plus the Applicable
              Margin or (iii) if applicable, at the applicable rate set forth in any Cash Management Agreement.

             

            4.1.2      Rate Quotations. The Borrower may call the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then
              in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.

             

            
              46

              
                

            

            4.1.3       Conforming Changes Relating to Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR. With respect to the Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right
              to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent
              of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes reasonably promptly
              after such amendment becomes effective.

             

            4.2      Interest Periods. At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a Term SOFR Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof at least
              three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Term SOFR Rate Option by delivering a Loan Request. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding
              sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a Term SOFR Rate Option:

             

            4.2.1       Amount of Borrowing Tranche. Each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Term SOFR Rate Option shall be in integral multiples of, and not less than, the respective amounts
              set forth in Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests]; and 

             

            4.2.2       Renewals. In the case of the renewal of a Term SOFR Rate Option at the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the
              preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day. 

             

            4.3        Interest After Default. To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or
              waived, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent or upon written demand by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent, each Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the
              rate of interest applicable to Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is Paid In Full. The Borrower acknowledges that the increase
              in rates referred to in this Section 4.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation
              for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by Administrative Agent.

             

            4.4          Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR Unascertainable; Illegality; Benchmark Replacement Setting.

             

            (a)          Term SOFR Rate Unascertainable.  If, on or prior to the first day of an Interest Period:

             

            (i)          the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Term SOFR Rate cannot be
              determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

             

            (ii)        the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Term
              SOFR Rate Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that the Term SOFR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Rate Loan, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of
              funding or maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights
              specified in Section 4.4(d) [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

             

            
              47

              
                

            

            (b)          Daily Simple SOFR Unascertainable.  If, on any day:

             

            (i)         the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Daily Simple SOFR cannot be
              determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or

             

            (ii)         the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request
              for a Daily Simple SOFR Loan that Daily Simple SOFR with respect to a proposed Daily Simple SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding or maintaining such Loan, and, if applicable, the Required
              Lenders provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4(d) [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

             

            (c)          Illegality. If at any time any Lender shall have determined, or any Official Body shall have asserted, that the making, maintenance or funding of any Term SOFR Rate Loan
              or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, or the determination or charging of interest rates based on the Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable, has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or
              any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section
                4.4(d) [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

             

            (d)       Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 4.4(a) or (b) [Unascertainable] above, the Administrative Agent
              shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4(c) [Illegality] above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such
              notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which
              shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (A) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (B) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the
              Borrower to select, convert to or renew a Term SOFR Rate Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Rate Loan, Daily Simple SOFR Loan or Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent shall
              have later notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous
              determination no longer exist.  If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 4.4(a) or (b) [Unascertainable] and the Borrower has previously notified the Administrative Agent of its selection of,
              conversion to or renewal of a Term SOFR Rate Option or Daily Simple SOFR Option and the Term SOFR Rate Option or Daily Simple SOFR Option, as applicable, has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection
              of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans.  If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 4.4(c) [Illegality], the Borrower shall, subject to
              the Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 5.11 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Lender to which a Term SOFR Rate Option or Daily Simple SOFR Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either convert such
              Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments].  Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall
              automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date.

             

            
              48

              
                

            

            (e)          Benchmark Replacement Setting.

             

            (i)        Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any agreement executed in connection with an
              Interest Rate Hedge shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”), if a Benchmark Transition
              Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a)(1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”
              for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment
              to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a)(2) or clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for
              such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th)
              Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative
              Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

             

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

             

            (iii)        Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the
              implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Administrative Agent will notify the
              Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the
              Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or
              date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement
              or any other Loan Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.

             

            
              49

              
                

            

            (iv)        Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in
              connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate
              from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any
              tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove
              such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II)
              is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar
              or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

             

            (v)       Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke
              any pending request for a Loan bearing interest based on the Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR to be made, conversion to or continuation of Loans bearing interest based on the Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR to be made, converted or
              continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of or conversion to Loans bearing interest under the Base Rate Option. During a
              Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will
              not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

             

            (vi)         Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”:

             

            “Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if such
              Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length of an interest period pursuant to this Agreement or (y) otherwise, any payment period
              for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement, in
              each case, as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor of such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (iv) of this Section.

             

            “Benchmark” means, initially, either the Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable in the case of any Loan; provided that
              if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Rate, Daily Simple SOFR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has
              replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section.

             

            “Benchmark Replacement” means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event: (a) in the case of the replacement of the Term SOFR
              Rate, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

             

            
              50

              
                

            

            (1)          the sum of: (A) Daily Simple SOFR and (B) the SOFR Adjustment;

             

            (2)       the sum of (A) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, giving due consideration to (x) any selection or
              recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (y) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the
              then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; and

             

            (b)          in the case of the replacement of Daily Simple SOFR, the sum of (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the
              Borrower, giving due consideration to (x) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (y) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention
              for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

             

            provided that if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (a)(2) or (b) above would be less than the SOFR Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed
              to be the SOFR Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and provided further, that any Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

             

            “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark
              Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, giving due
              consideration to (A) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the
              Relevant Governmental Body or (B) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the
              applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.

             

            “Benchmark Replacement Date” means a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent, which date shall be no later than the
              earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

             

            (1)          in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (A) the date of the public statement or publication of
              information referenced therein and (B) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or
              such component thereof); or

             

            
              51

              
                

            

            (2)          in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date determined by the Administrative Agent, which date shall promptly follow
              the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein;

             

            For the avoidance of doubt, the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the
              occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

             

            “Benchmark Transition Event” means, the occurrence of one or more of the following events, with respect to the then-current
              Benchmark:

             

            (1)         a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation
              thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication,
              there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

             

            (2)        a public statement or publication of information by an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, the regulatory supervisor for the
              administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the NYFRB, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a
              resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which
              states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such
              statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

             

            (3)       a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the
              calculation thereof) or an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be,
              representative.

             

            For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information
              set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

             

            “Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred
              if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this Section 4.4(e) titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting” and (y) ending at the time
              that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with this Section 4.4(e) titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting.”

             

            
              52

              
                

            

            “Relevant Governmental Body” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and/or the NYFRB, or a committee officially
              endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and/or the NYFRB, or any successor thereto.

             

            “Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement excluding the related Benchmark Replacement
              Adjustment.

             

            4.5         Selection of Interest Rate Options. If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Term SOFR Rate Option at the
              expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Term SOFR Rate
              Option with an Interest Period of one (1) month commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period. If the Borrower provides any Loan Request related to a Loan at the Term SOFR Rate Option but fails to identify an Interest Period
              therefor, such Loan Request shall be deemed to request an Interest Period of one (1) month. Any Loan Request that fails to select an Interest Rate Option shall be deemed to be a request for the Term SOFR Rate Option with an Interest Period of
              one (1) month.

             

            5.          PAYMENTS

             

            5.1         Payments. All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Administrative Agent’s Fee or other fees or
              amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off,
              counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of PNC with respect to the Swing Loans and for the
              ratable accounts of the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders in immediately available funds;
              provided that in the event payments are received by 11:00 a.m. by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
              Agent shall pay the Lenders interest at the Effective Federal Funds Rate with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent’s and each
              Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement.

             

            5.2         Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders. Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion
              to or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees (but excluding the Administrative Agent’s Fee and the Issuing Lender’s
              fronting fee) shall (except as otherwise may be provided with respect to a Defaulting Lender and except as provided in Sections 2.12 [Extension of the Expiration Date], 4.4(d) [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an
              event specified in Section 4.4 [Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR Unascertainable; Etc.], Section 5.13 [Replacement of a Lender] or Section 5.9 [Increased Costs]) be payable ratably among the Lenders entitled to such payment in accordance
              with the amount of principal, interest, Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees or
              other amounts from the Borrower with respect to Swing Loans shall be made by or to PNC according to Section 2.6.4 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans].

             

            5.3          Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon
              security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount
              of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than the pro-rata share of the amount such Lender is entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of
              such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared
              by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

             

            
              53

              
                

            

            (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, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase; and

             

            (ii)        the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan
              Documents or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Participation Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary
              thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall apply).

             

            Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
              arrangements may 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.

             

            5.4         Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

             

            5.4.1      Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender (x) in the case of Loans to which the Base
              Rate Option applies, 8 hours prior to the proposed time of such Borrowing Tranche of Loans and (y) otherwise, prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing Tranche of Loans that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent
              such Lender’s Ratable Share, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.6 (a) [Making Revolving Credit Loans] and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
              available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing Tranche of Loans available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable 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 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, the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
              compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Loan under the applicable Loan Request. 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 Borrowing Tranche of Loans to
              the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing Tranche of Loans. 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.

             

            
              54

              
                

            

            5.4.2     Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. 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, 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 the 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 Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
              rules on interbank compensation.

             

            5.5         Interest Payment Dates. Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option or Daily Simple SOFR Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date.
              Interest on Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) months, also at the end of each three (3) month period during
              such Interest Period. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated
              maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise).  Interest shall be computed to, but excluding, the date payment is due.

             

            5.6         Voluntary Prepayments

             

            5.6.1       Right to Prepay.

             

            The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 5.9 [Increased Costs],
              Section 5.10 [Taxes] and Section 5.11 [Indemnity]). Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date
              of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans or no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment of Swing Loans, setting forth the following information:

             

            (i)           the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made;

             

            (ii)          a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans;

             

            (iii)        a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies
              and, solely with respect to Swing Loans, Loans to which the Daily Simple SOFR Option applies;

             

            
              55

              
                

            

            (iv)        the total principal amount of such prepayment which, with respect to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall not be less than $500,000 for any
              Revolving Credit Loan unless such repayment is of the total amount outstanding with regard to such Revolving Credit Loan and which, with respect to Swing Loans, shall not be less than $500,000 unless such repayment is of the total amount
              outstanding with regard to such Swing Loan; and

             

            (v)          the total principal amount of such prepayment, which, with respect to Loans to which the Term SOFR Rate Option applies, shall not be less than $1,000,000 for
              any Revolving Credit Loan unless such repayment is of the total amount outstanding with regard to such Revolving Credit Loan.

             

            All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount except with respect to
              Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. Except as provided in Section 4.4(d) [Administrative Agent’s and
              Lender’s Rights], if the Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied (a) first to Swing Loans and second to the Revolving Credit Loans; and (b)
              after giving effect to the allocations in clause (a) above and in the preceding sentence, first to Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Loans to which the Daily Simple SOFR Option applies, then to Loans to which the Term SOFR
              Rate Option applies. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 5.11 [Indemnity].

             

            5.6.2       Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.9 [Increased Costs], or the Borrower is or will be required to pay any
              Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.10 [Taxes], then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different
              lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i)
              would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.9 [Increased Costs] or Section 5.10 [Taxes], as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
              otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

             

            5.7        Voluntary Commitment Reductions. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ written irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to
              terminate the Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments, which notice shall specify the date and amount of any such reduction and otherwise be substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.7 (a “Commitment Reduction Notice”). Any such reduction shall be in a minimum amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, unless the Commitments are reduced to zero and this Agreement is
              terminated, provided, that the Revolving Credit Commitments may not be reduced below the aggregate principal amount of the Facility Usage. Each reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall ratably reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments of
              the Lenders.

             

            5.8          [Reserved].

             

            5.9          Increased Costs.

             

            5.9.1       Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

             

            
              56

              
                

            

            (i)         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 Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR) or the Issuing Lender;

             

            (ii)        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; or

             

            (iii)        impose on any Lender, the Issuing Lender or the relevant 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 any Loan or of
              maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter 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 received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon
              request of such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing
              Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

             

            5.9.2       Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any lending office of such
              Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing 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 or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the
              capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans held by, such Lender, or
              the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
              consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), 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 the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

             

            5.9.3      Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans;  Borrowing of New Loans. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts
              necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 5.9.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or 5.9.2 [Capital Requirements] and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive
              absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

             

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

             

            
              57

              
                

            

            5.10        Taxes.

             

            5.10.1    Issuing Lender. For purposes of this Section 5.10, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Lender and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

             

            5.10.2    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 without deduction or withholding for any
              Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent,
              then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an
              Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable
              under this Section 5.10 [Taxes]) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

             

            5.10.3    Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the
              Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

             

            5.10.4    Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount
              of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.10 [Taxes]) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such
              Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
              or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

             

            5.10.5     Indemnification by the 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 any of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes
              attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.8.4 [Participations] 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
              Official Body. 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
              5.10.5 [Indemnification by the Lenders].

             

            
              58

              
                

            

            5.10.6    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 5.10 [Taxes], such Loan Party shall
              deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to
              the Administrative Agent.

             

            5.10.7     Status of Lenders.

             

            (i)         Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower 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 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 Section 5.10.7(ii)(a), (ii)(b) and (ii)(d) below) shall not be
              required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

             

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

             

            (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), 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, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y)
              with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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)          executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

             

            
              59

              
                

            

            (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 5.10.7(A) to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of
              Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form
              W-8BEN or IRS For W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

             

            (4)          to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, 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, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.10.7(B) or Exhibit 5.10.7(C), IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided
              that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in
              the form of Exhibit 5.10.7(D) 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), executed originals 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 (4), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

             

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

             

            
              60

              
                

            

            5.10.8     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 5.10 [Taxes] (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.10 [Taxes]), 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 5.10 [Taxes] 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 Official Body with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over
              pursuant to this Section 5.10.8 [Treatment of Certain Refunds] (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official
              Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.10.8 [Treatment of Certain Refunds], in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.10.8 [Treatment of
              Certain Refunds] the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been
              deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts 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.

             

            5.10.9    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.10 [Taxes] shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the
              replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.

             

            5.11       Indemnity. In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 5.9 [Increased Costs]or Section 5.10 [Taxes], the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against
              all liabilities, losses or expenses (including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained
              but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:

             

            (i)          payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a Term SOFR Rate Option applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or
              not such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due), or

             

            (ii)         attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests for a Loan other than a Loan under the Base Rate
              Option, whether under Section 2.4 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests] or Section 4.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments], or

             

            (iii)        any assignment of a Loan under the Term SOFR Rate Option on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period thereof as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to
              Section 5.13 [Replacement of a Lender].

             

            If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may
              include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in
              reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

             

            5.12      Settlement. On any Business Day, the Administrative Agent may effectuate settlement pursuant to such procedures as it may establish solely as a matter of administrative
              convenience. The Administrative Agent may at any time at its option for any reason whatsoever require each Lender to pay immediately to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of the outstanding Loans and each Lender may at any
              time require the Administrative Agent to pay immediately to such Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans.

             

            
              61

              
                

            

            5.13     Replacement of a Lender. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.9 [Increased Costs], or if the Borrower is required to pay any indemnified taxes or additional
              amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.10 [Taxes] and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 5.6.2
              [Designation of Different Lending Office], or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, a Non-Extending Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative
              Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all of its interests, rights (other than
              its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 5.9 [Increased Cost] or Section 5.10 [Taxes]) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee
              may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

             

            (a)          the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns];

             

            (b)         such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Borrowings, accrued interest thereon,
              accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.11 [Indemnity]) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest
              and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

             

            (c)         in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.9 [Increased Costs] or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.10
              [Taxes], such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

             

            (d)          such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and

             

            (e)          in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or
              consent.

             

            A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to
              require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

             

            5.14       Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the
              Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.10(iv) and any Cash
              Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

             

            
              62

              
                

            

            (a)          Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the
              benefit of the Issuing Lender, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations, to be
              applied pursuant to clause (b) below. 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 and the Issuing Lender as herein provided, or
              that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower 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 the Defaulting Lender).

             

            (b)        Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 5.14 or Section 2.10 [Defaulting Lender] in
              respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any
              interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

             

            (c)          Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to
              be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.14 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the
              Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.10 [Default Lenders] the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lender may agree that Cash Collateral 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, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest
              granted pursuant to Section 5.14(a) above.

             

            6.          REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

             

            6.1         Representations and Warranties. The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders as follows:

             

            6.1.1     Organization and Qualification. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company duly organized, validly
              existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party has the lawful power to own or lease its properties and to engage in the business it presently conducts
              or proposes to conduct. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction where the failure to be so licensed or qualified could reasonably be expected to result in
              a Material Adverse Change.

             

            6.1.2       Subsidiaries. As of the date hereof, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries.

             

            6.1.3     Power and Authority. Each Loan Party has full power to enter into, execute, deliver and carry out this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, to
              incur the Indebtedness contemplated by the Loan Documents and to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and all such actions have been duly authorized by all necessary proceedings on its part.

             

            6.1.4     Validity and Binding Effect. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by each Loan Party, and each other Loan Document which any Loan Party is
              required to execute and deliver on or after the date hereof will have been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party on the required date of delivery of such Loan Document. This Agreement and each other Loan Document constitutes, or will
              constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of each Loan Party which is or will be a party thereto on and after its date of delivery thereof, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that
              enforceability of any of such Loan Document may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally or limiting the right of specific performance.

             

            
              63

              
                

            

            6.1.5       No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by any Loan Party nor the consummation of the transactions herein or therein
              contemplated or compliance with the terms and provisions hereof or thereof by any of them will conflict with, constitute a default under or result in any breach of (i) the terms and conditions of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws,
              certificate of limited partnership, partnership agreement, certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents of any Loan Party or (ii) any Law or any material agreement or instrument or order,
              writ, judgment, injunction or decree to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or to which it is subject, or result in the creation or enforcement of any Lien, charge or
              encumbrance whatsoever upon any property (now or hereafter acquired) of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Liens that may be granted under the Loan Documents).

             

            6.1.6     Litigation. Except as set forth in the SEC Filings, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations (other than Environmental Complaints which are specifically
              addressed in Section 6.1.19 [Environmental Matters]) pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against such Loan Party or any Subsidiary of such Loan Party at law or equity before any Official Body which individually or in
              the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. None of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiaries of any Loan Party is in violation of any order, writ, injunction or any decree of any Official Body which could
              reasonably be expected to result in any Material Adverse Change.

             

            6.1.7       Title to Properties. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party has good and marketable title to or valid leasehold interest in all properties, assets and
              other rights which it purports to own or lease or which are reflected as owned or leased on its books and records, free and clear of all Liens (other than Environmental Complaints which are specifically addressed in Section 6.1.19
              [Environmental Matters]) except Permitted Liens, and subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable leases, except where the failure to hold such properties, assets and other rights subject to such terms and conditions could reasonably
              be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. All leases of property are in full force and effect without the necessity for any consent which has not previously been obtained upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby to
              the extent that the failure of such leases to be in full force or effect or have obtained any such consent could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

             

            6.1.8       Historical Statements; No Material Adverse Change.

             

            6.1.8.1   Historical Statements.

             

            (a)          The Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent copies of its audited consolidated year-end financial statements for and as of the end of the fiscal year ended September
              30, 2020 (the “Historical Statements”).

             

            (b)          The Historical Statements (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein; (ii)
              fairly present the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their consolidated results of operations for the period covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently applied
              throughout the period covered thereby; and (iii) show all material indebtedness and other material liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof, including liabilities for taxes, material
              commitments and Indebtedness, required to be reflected on the Historical Statements under GAAP.

             

            
              64

              
                

            

            6.1.8.2    No Material Adverse Change. Since September 30, 2020, no Material Adverse Change has occurred.

             

            6.1.9     Margin Stock. None of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiaries of any Loan Party engages or intends to engage principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business
              of extending credit for the purpose, immediately, incidentally or ultimately, of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U) in violation or Regulations U. No part of the proceeds of any Loan has been or will be
              used, immediately, incidentally or ultimately, to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock or to refund Indebtedness originally incurred for such purpose, or
              for any other purpose, in each case in violation of the provisions of the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Margin stock does not, and will not, constitute, more than 25% of the value of the consolidated
              assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

             

            6.1.10   Full Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any certificate, statement, agreement or other documents furnished to the Administrative Agent or any
              Lender in connection herewith or therewith, together with the information contained in the SEC Filings, taken as a whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
              statements contained herein and therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading.

             

            6.1.11    Taxes. All federal, state and material local and other Tax returns required to have been filed with respect to each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party have
              been filed, and payment or adequate provision has been made for the payment of all Taxes which have or may become due pursuant to said returns or to assessments received, except to the extent that (i) such Taxes are being contested in good
              faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which such reserves or other appropriate provisions if any, as shall be required by GAAP, shall have been made, or (ii) the failure to so pay or so contest such Taxes could not
              reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

             

            6.1.12     Consents and Approvals. No consent, approval, exemption, order or authorization of, or a registration or filing with, any Official Body or any other Person is required by
              any Law or any agreement as a condition to the execution, delivery and carrying out of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by any Loan Party.

             

            6.1.13    No Event of Default; Compliance With Instruments. No event has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists or will exist after giving effect to the borrowings or
              other extensions of credit to be made on the Closing Date under or pursuant to the Loan Documents which constitutes an Event of Default or Potential Default. None of the Loan Parties or any Subsidiaries of any Loan Party is in violation of
              any material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be subject or bound where such violation could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

             

            6.1.14     Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, Licenses, Etc. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of each Loan Party owns or has the contractual right to use all the patents, trademarks,
              service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, registrations, franchises, permits and rights reasonably necessary to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted and planned to be conducted by such

              made, but only to the extent that failure to discharge any such liabilities would not result in any additional liability which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

             

            8.1.3      Maintenance of Insurance. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, insure its properties and assets against loss or damage by fire and such other

              service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, franchises, permits and other authorizations necessary for the ownership and operation of its properties and business if the failure so to maintain the same could constitute a Material Adverse
              Change.

             

            8.1.6      Visitation Rights. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any of the officers or authorized employees or representatives of the

              which full, true and correct entries shall be made in all material respects of all its dealings and business and financial affairs.

            8.1.9      Compliance With Laws. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable Laws, including all Environmental Laws, in all material
              respects, provided that it shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 8.1.9 if any failure to comply with any Law would not result in fines, penalties, costs associated with the performance of any Remedial Actions, other similar
              liabilities or injunctive relief which in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries
              to, obtain, maintain, renew and comply with all Environmental Permits applicable to their respective operations and activities, provided that it shall not be deemed to be a violation of this Section 8.1.9 if any failure to do so would not
              result in cease and desist orders or fines, penalties or other similar liabilities or injunctive relief which in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

              funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by any Non-Qualifying Party to honor all of such Non-Qualifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however,
              that each Qualified ECP Loan Party shall only be liable under this Section 8.1.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 8.1.13, or otherwise under this
              Agreement or any other Loan Document, voidable under applicable law, including applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under
              this Section 8.1.13 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party intends that this Section 8.1.13 constitute, and
              this Section 8.1.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the CEA.

              ownership” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations), and any policy or procedure implemented by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to comply therewith.

              described in Section 7.1.2 [Secretary’s Certificate] modified as appropriate to relate to such Subsidiary and (iii) satisfy such other requirements as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. The Loan Parties shall deliver such

              described in this clause First payable to them;

             

            (ii)        Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders under the Loan
              Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

             

            (iii)       Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion

            (v)        Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, to cash collateralize any undrawn amounts under outstanding Letters of Credit; and

              provided, however, that to the extent possible appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments and/or the proceeds of any collateral from other Loan Parties that are Eligible Contract Participants with respect to such Swap

            10.          THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

             

            
              84

              
                

            

            10.1       Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints PNC to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and the Issuing
              Lender 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. The provisions of this Article 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party
              shall have rights as a third- party beneficiary of any of such provisions. 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.

             

            10.2       Rights as a Lender. 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 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 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.

             

            10.3      Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly specified herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its
              duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

             

            (a)          shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

             

            (b)         shall not 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);
              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 Insolvency Proceeding or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any
              Insolvency Proceeding; and

             

            (c)        shall not, except as expressly specified herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
              relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

             

            The Administrative Agent shall not 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 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] and 9.2 [Consequences of Event of
              Default]) 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. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any
              Potential Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Potential Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower, the Issuing Lender or a Lender.

             

            
              85

              
                

            

            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 specified herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential 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 specified in Article 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
              delivered to the Administrative Agent.

             

            10.4      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 of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may
              presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the Issuing 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 the Borrower), 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.

             

            10.5       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 Article 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication
              of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as 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.

             

            10.6       Resignation of Administrative Agent.

             

            (a)          The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the
              Required Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the Borrower (so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, such approval of the Borrower not to be to be unreasonably
              withheld or delayed, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York. 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 and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications specified 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.

             

            
              86

              
                

            

            (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. 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 Lenders or the Issuing Lender 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 (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 and Issuing Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a
              successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. 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. 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 this Article and Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] 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 Administrative Agent.

             

            If PNC resigns as Administrative Agent under this Section10.6, PNC shall also resign as an Issuing Lender. Upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor
              shall (i) succeed to all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of PNC as the retiring Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent and PNC shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations as Issuing Lender and
              Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by PNC, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to PNC to
              effectively assume the obligations of PNC with respect to such Letters of Credit.

             

            
              87

              
                

            

            10.7       Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges 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 credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the
              Issuing Lender also acknowledges 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 decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

             

            10.8       No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the “lead arrangers”, “documentation agents” or “syndication agents”, if any, listed on the
              cover page hereof shall 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 or the Issuing Lender hereunder.

             

            10.9       Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent a nonrefundable fee (the “Administrative Agent’s Fee”)

              under the terms of a letter (the “Administrative Agent’s Letter”) between the Borrower and Administrative Agent, as amended from time to time.

             

            10.10     Authorization to Release Collateral and Guarantors. The Lenders and the Issuing Lender authorize the Administrative Agent to release (i) any collateral under the Loan
              Documents, and (ii) any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement if the ownership interests in such Guarantor are sold or otherwise disposed of or transferred to persons other than Loan Parties or Subsidiaries of the Loan
              Parties in a transaction permitted under Section 8.2.6 [Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries] or Section 8.2.5 [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions].

             

            10.11     No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants
              or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the
              regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law or any Anti-Corruption Law,
              including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity
              verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

             

            10.12     ERISA Matters.

             

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

             

            (i)          such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into,
              participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,

             

            
              88

              
                

            

            (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

              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 sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of
              subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or

             

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

             

            (b)          In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding Section 10.12(a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) such Lender has not provided another
              representation, warranty and covenant as provided in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding Section 10.12(a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to,
              and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for

            (i)          none of the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s

              under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto),

             

            (ii)         the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the
              Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to particular transactions and investment strategies (including in respect of the Loans),

             

            (iii)        the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the

            (iv)         no fee or other compensation is being paid directly to the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates for investment advice (as opposed to other
              services) in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement.

             

            The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers hereby inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary
              capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments

            10.13      Erroneous Payments.

             

            (a)          If the Administrative Agent notifies the Issuing Lender, a Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender (any such Lender, the Issuing
              Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause
                (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not
              known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated
              by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or the Issuing Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment
              Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the
              currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the
              Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Effective Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A
              notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

             

            (b)        Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, the Issuing Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, hereby
              further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates)
              (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or
              repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, the Issuing Lender or other such recipient, otherwise
              becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

             

            
              90

              
                

            

            (i)        (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the
              contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

             

            (ii)         such Lender or the Issuing Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business
              Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
              Section 10.13(b).

             

            (c)         Each Lender and the Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the Issuing Lender
              under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or the Issuing Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or
              under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

             

            (d)         In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in
              accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or the Issuing Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof)
              on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or the Issuing Lender at any time, (i) such Lender or
              the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) or Letter of Credit Obligations with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted
                Loan”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) or Letter of Credit Obligations of the Erroneous
              Payment Impacted Loans, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance),
              and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or the Issuing Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such
              Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed
              acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender or the Issuing Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Lender shall cease
              to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall
              survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent
              may, in its discretion, sell any Loans or Letter of Credit Obligations acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the
              applicable Lender or the Issuing Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan or Letter of Credit Obligations (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims
              against such Lender or the Issuing Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such
              Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) or Letter of Credit
              Obligations acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and
              interests of the applicable Lender or the Issuing Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

             

            (e)          The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party,
              except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for the
              purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

             

            
              91

              
                

            

            (f)          To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim,
              counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based
              on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

             

            (g)          Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the
              Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

             

            11.          MISCELLANEOUS

             

            11.1      Modifications, Amendments or Waivers. With the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of all the Lenders, and the Borrower, on
              behalf of the Loan Parties, may from time to time enter into written agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the rights of the Lenders or the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder, or may
              grant written waivers or consents hereunder or thereunder. Any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent shall be effective to bind all the Lenders and the Loan Parties; provided, that no such agreement, waiver or
              consent may be made which will:

             

            11.1.1    Increase of Commitment. Increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender hereunder without the consent of such Lender;

             

            11.1.2   Extension of Payment; Reduction of Principal, Interest or Fees;  Modification of Terms of Payment. Whether or not any Loans are outstanding, extend the Expiration Date or the
              time for payment of principal or interest of any Loan (excluding the due date of any mandatory prepayment of a Loan), any Reimbursement Obligation, the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Lender, or reduce the principal amount of
              or the rate of interest borne by any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or reduce the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to any Lender, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

             

            11.1.3    Release of Guarantor. Except for sales of assets permitted by Section 8.2.6 [Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries], release any Guarantor from its Obligations under the
              Guaranty Agreement without the consent of all Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders); or

             

            
              92

              
                

            

            11.1.4    Miscellaneous. Amend Section 5.2 [Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders], Section 10.3 [Exculpatory Provisions], Section 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] or Section 9.2.4
              [Application of Proceeds] or this Section 11.1, alter any provision regarding the pro rata treatment of the Lenders or requiring all Lenders to authorize the taking of any action or reduce any percentage specified in the definition of
              Required Lenders, in each case without the consent of all of the Lenders;

             

            provided that no agreement, waiver or consent which would modify the interests, rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, or the Swing Loan Lender may be made without the
              written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender, as applicable, and provided, further that, if in connection with any proposed waiver, amendment or modification referred to in Sections 11.1.1 through
              11.1.4 above, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the
              Borrower shall have the right to replace any such Non-Consenting Lender with one or more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 5.13 [Replacement of a Lender]. 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 Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended, the maturity of any of its Loans may not be extended or the

              principal amount of or the rate of interest borne by any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or the Commitment Fee or any other fee payable to such Lender may not be reduced, in each case  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.

             

            Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provisions
              of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend, modify or supplement such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect, and
              such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days
              following receipt of notice thereof.

             

            Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent on its behalf, and without further consent of any Lender (but
              with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent), to amend and restate this Agreement and the other Loan Documents if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this
              Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated, such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts
              owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.9 [Increased
                Costs], 5.10 [Taxes], 5.11 [Indemnity] and 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such amendment and restatement.

             

            11.2       No Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or
              privilege under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other
              right, power, remedy or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise
              have.

            11.3        Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

             

            11.3.1    Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the

              Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, 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 documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance,
              amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender (including the reasonable and
              documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender), and shall pay all reasonable and documented fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of the
              Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, in connection with the 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 hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit, and (iv) all reasonable

              documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all reasonable and documented fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees
              of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party 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 or nonperformance 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) breach of representations, warranties or covenants of the Borrower under the Loan Documents, or (iv) any actual or
              prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, including any such items or losses relating to or arising under Environmental Laws or pertaining to environmental matters, 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 (y) 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. This Section 11.3.2 [Indemnification by the Borrower] shall not apply with respect to
              Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

            11.3.3    Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 11.3.1 [Costs and Expenses] or 11.3.2
              [Indemnification by the Borrower] to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing 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 or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided
              that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as
              such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity.

             

            11.3.4     Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee,
              on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, 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. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 11.3.2 [Indemnification by Borrower] 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.

            11.3.6    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.3 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder.

             

            11.4       Holidays. Whenever payment of a Loan to be made or taken hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day such payment shall be due on the next Business Day
              (except as provided in Section 4.2 [Interest Periods]) and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, except that the Loans shall be due on the Business Day preceding the Expiration Date if the Expiration Date is
              not a Business Day. Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the Loans) shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or action shall be made or taken on the next
              following Business Day, and such extension of time shall not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment or action.

              electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 11.5.2 [Electronic Communications], shall be effective as provided in such Section.

             

            11.5.2   Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication
              (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Lender if such Lender or the Issuing
              Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices
              and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative
              Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested”
              function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not 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, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient
              at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such
              notice, email 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.

             

            11.5.3    Change of Address, Etc. Any party hereto may change its address, e-mail address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other
              parties hereto.

             

            11.5.4    Platform. Each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined below) available to the Lenders by
              posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent
              Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, 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, as used in this Section, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any of the Loan Parties, any Lender or any other Person or
              entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, 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 unless, and only in the case of direct, out-of-pocket losses, such direct, out-of-pocket losses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
              nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent. “Communications” as used in this Section 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 or any Lender by means
              of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through the Platform.

            11.6       Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part
              in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the
              remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by
              Insolvency Proceedings, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

             

            11.7       Duration; Survival. All representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained herein or made in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this
              Agreement, the completion of the transactions hereunder and Payment In Full. All covenants and agreements of the Borrower contained herein relating to the payment of principal, interest, premiums, additional compensation or expenses and
              indemnification, including those set forth in the Notes, Article 5 [Payments] and Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver], shall survive Payment In Full. All other covenants and agreements of the Loan Parties shall continue in full
              force and effect from and after the Closing Date and until Payment In Full.

             

            11.8        Successors and Assigns.

             

            11.8.1     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, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (including, in each case, by way of an LLC Division) 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 Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders],

             

            (ii)          by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.8.4 [Participations], or

             

            (iii)        by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.8.5 [Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally] (and any other attempted
              assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 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 Section 11.8.4 [Participations] 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.

             

            11.8.2     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:

             

            
              97

              
                

            

            (i)          Minimum Amounts.

             

            (a)         in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related
              Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in Section 11.8.2(i)(b) in the 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 clause (i)(a) of this Section 11.8.2, 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 Agreement with respect to such
              assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of the
              Revolving Credit Commitment of the assigning Lender, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no 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.

             

            (iii)       Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 11.8.2(i)(b) and, in addition:

             

            (a)          the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) 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 (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

             

            (b)        the consent of the Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to
              participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

             

            (c)         the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person that is not a Lender, an
              Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

             

            (iv)        Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together
              with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire provided by the Administrative Agent.

             

            (v)        No Assignment to Borrower or Defaulting Lender. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or to a Defaulting
              Lender.

             

            
              98

              
                

            

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

             

            Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.8.3 [Register], from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the
              assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, 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 Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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 5.9 [Increased Costs], 5.10
                [Taxes], 5.11 [Indemnity] and 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations
              under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.8.2 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 Section 11.8.4 [Participations].

             

            11.8.3    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the
              Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. Such register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose
              name is in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such 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.

             

            11.8.4    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 or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (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 Lenders, and the Issuing Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
              under this Agreement.

             

            
              99

              
                

            

            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 (other than as is already provided
              for herein) to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to Sections 11.1.1 [Increase of Commitment], 11.1.2 [Extension of Payment, Etc.], or 11.1.3 [Release of Guarantor] that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each
              Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4 [Term SOFR Rate or Daily Simple SOFR Unascertainable, Etc.], 5.9 [Increased Costs], 5.11 [Indemnity] and 5.10 [Taxes] (subject to the requirements and limitations therein,
              including the requirements under Section 5.10.7 [Status of Lenders] (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.10.7 [Status of Lenders] shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it
              were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders]; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.13 [Replacement of a Lender] and
              Section 5.6.2 [Designation of Different Lending Office] as if it were an assignee under Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders]; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.9 [Increased Costs] or 5.10
              [Taxes], with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant
              acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.13 [Replacement of
              a Lender] and Section 5.6.2 [Designation of Different Lending Office] with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.2.3 [Set-off] as though it were a
              Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
              Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under 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.

             

            11.8.5     Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. 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.

             

            11.9        Confidentiality.

             

            11.9.1    General. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be
              disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (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), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory
              authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) 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, (vi) subject to an agreement
              containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or
              prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information (Y) becomes publicly available
              other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (Z) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower
              or the other Loan Parties. 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.

            11.9.2    Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Lenders. Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be
              offered or provided to the Borrower or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each of the Loan Parties hereby authorizes
              each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate subject to the provisions of Section 11.9.1 [General].

             

            The Administrative Agent or any Lender may use, in connection with customary advertising material relating to the transactions contemplated hereby (subject, however, to the Borrower’s
              approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), the name, product photographs, logo or trademark of the Loan Parties. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may 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 agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the
              Commitments.

             

            11.10      Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

             

            11.10.1  Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall
              constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent,
              constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof including any prior
              confidentiality agreements and commitments. Except as provided in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit], this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when
              the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or
              e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

             

            11.10.2  Electronic Execution.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption Agreement 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.

            11.11.1   Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Any trade Letter of

            11.12     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 Lender that is an 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:

             

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

             

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

             

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

             

            (b)          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

             

            (c)          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.

             

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

            11.14     USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Loan
              Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of Loan Parties and other information
              that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all
              documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the
              Act.

             

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

             

            (a)         in the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, for purposes of this Section, 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; and

             

            (b)          in addition to the specifically defined terms referenced in this Section that apply solely to this Section, the following capitalized terms used in this Section have the
              following meanings:

             

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

             

            “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §
              252.82(b), (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

             

            
              104

              
                

            

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

             

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

             

            11.16      Amendment and Restatement.

             

            This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement. All references to the “Agreement” contained in the Loan Documents delivered in connection with the Existing
              Credit Agreement or this Agreement shall, and shall be deemed to, refer to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement by this Agreement, the Obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan
              Parties outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents as of the Closing Date shall remain outstanding and shall constitute continuing Obligations without novation. Such Obligations shall in all respects be continuing
              and this Agreement shall not be deemed to evidence or result in a novation or repayment and reborrowing of such Obligations.
