Exhibits and Schedules to, this Agreement and (e) the words “asset” and “property” shall
be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including
cash, securities, accounts and contract rights. Solely for purposes of this Agreement, any references to “obligations”
owed by any Person under any Hedging Agreement shall refer to the amount that would be required to be paid by such Person if such
Hedging Agreement were terminated at such time (after giving effect to any netting agreement).

Section 1.04.      Accounting
Terms; GAAP. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed
in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent
that the Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Restatement
Effective Date in GAAP or in the application or interpretation thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative
Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless
of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then the Borrower, Administrative
Agent and the Lenders agree to enter into negotiations in good faith in order to amend such provisions of the Agreement so as
to equitably reflect such change to comply with GAAP with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower's financial
condition shall be the same after such change to comply with GAAP as if such change had not been made; provided, however,
until such amendments to equitably reflect such changes are effective and agreed to by the Borrower, Administrative Agent and
the Required Lenders, the Borrower’s compliance with such financial covenants shall be determined on the basis of GAAP as
in effect and applied immediately before such change in GAAP becomes effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein
to the contrary, the Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lenders that whether or not the Borrower may at any time adopt Financial
Accounting Standard Board Accounting Standards Codification 825, all determinations relating to fair value accounting for liabilities
or compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be made on the basis that the Borrower has not adopted Accounting
Standard Codification 825. In addition, notwithstanding Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, GAAP or any other matter, for purposes
of calculating any financial or other covenants hereunder, debt issuance costs shall not be deducted from the related debt obligation.
Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the definitions set forth in the Loan Document and any financial calculations
required by the Loan Documents shall be computed to exclude any effects on lease accounting as a result of ASU No. 2016-02 Leases
(Topic 842) (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect), regardless of the date enacted, adopted
or issued and regardless of any delayed implementation thereof, and all determinations of Capital Lease Obligations shall be made
consistently therewith (i.e., ignoring any such changes in GAAP pursuant to ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) (or any other Financial
Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect)).

Section 1.05.      Currencies
Generally. At any time, any reference in the definition of the term “Agreed Foreign Currency” or in any other
provision of this Agreement to the Currency of any particular nation means the lawful currency of such nation at such time whether
or not the name of such Currency is the same as it was on the date hereof. Except as provided in Section 2.08(b) and the last
sentence of Section 2.15(a), for purposes of determining (i) whether the amount of any Borrowing under the Multicurrency Commitments,
together with all other Borrowings under the Multicurrency Commitments then outstanding or to be borrowed at the same time as
such Borrowing, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Multicurrency Commitments, (ii) the aggregate unutilized amount of the
Multicurrency Commitments, (iii) the Revolving Credit Exposure, (iv) the Covered Debt Amount and (v) the Borrowing Base or the
Value or the fair market value of any Portfolio Investment, the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing that is denominated
in any Foreign Currency or the Value or the fair market value of any Portfolio Investment that is denominated in any Foreign Currency
shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the Foreign Currency of such Borrowing or Portfolio Investment, as
the case may be, determined as of the date of such Borrowing (determined in accordance with the last sentence of the definition
of the term “Interest Period”) or the date of valuation of such Portfolio Investment, as the case may be; provided
that in connection with the delivery of any Borrowing Base Certificate pursuant to Section 5.01(d) or (e), such amounts shall
be determined as of the date of the delivery of such Borrowing Base Certificate. Where any amount is denominated in Dollars under
this Agreement but requires for its determination an amount which is denominated in a Foreign Currency, such amounts shall be
converted into the Foreign Currency Equivalent on the date of determination. Wherever in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing
or Loan an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing or Loan is denominated
in a Foreign Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Foreign Currency Equivalent of such Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest
1,000 units of such Foreign Currency).

 

Section 1.06.      Special
Provisions Relating to Euro. If at any time after the Restatement Effective Date the Euro becomes an Agreed Foreign Currency
then, from and after such date, each obligation hereunder of any party hereto that is denominated in the National Currency of
a state that is not a Participating Member State on the date hereof shall, effective from the date on which such state becomes
a Participating Member State, be redenominated in Euro in accordance with the legislation of the European Union applicable to
the European Monetary Union; provided that, if and to the extent that any such legislation provides that any such obligation of
any such party payable within such Participating Member State by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the debtor
either in Euros or such National Currency, such party shall be entitled to pay or repay such amount either in Euros or in such
National Currency. If the basis of accrual of interest or fees expressed in this Agreement with respect to an Agreed Foreign Currency
of any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the date on which such currency becomes an Agreed Foreign Currency
shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the interbank market for the basis of accrual of interest or fees in
respect of the Euro, such convention or practice shall replace such expressed basis effective as of and from the date on which
such state becomes a Participating Member State; provided that, with respect to any Borrowing denominated in such currency that
is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect at the end of the Interest Period therefor.

 

Without prejudice to
the respective liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement,
each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower shall reasonably agree from time to time, to the extent necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction or changeover
to the Euro in any country that becomes a Participating Member State after the Restatement Effective Date; provided that
the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with prior notice of the proposed change with an explanation of such change
in sufficient time to permit the Lenders an opportunity to respond to such proposed change.

Section 1.07.      Times
of Day; Interest Rates. Unless otherwise specified in the Loan Documents, time references are to Eastern time (daylight or
standard, as applicable). The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability
with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate”
or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate therefor.

 

Section 1.08.      Divisions .
For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any
comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person
becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred
from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be
deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

 

Section 1.09.      Issuers.
For all purposes of this Agreement, all issuers of Eligible Portfolio Investments that are Affiliates of one another shall be
treated as a single issuer, unless such issuers are Affiliates of one another solely because they are under the common Control
of the same private equity sponsor or similar sponsor.

 

Article II

THE CREDITS

 

Section 2.01.      The
Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein,

 

(a)       each
Dollar Lender agrees to make Dollar Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal
amount that will not result in (a) such Lender’s Revolving Dollar Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Dollar
Commitment, (b) the aggregate Revolving Dollar Credit Exposure of all of the Dollar Lenders exceeding the aggregate Dollar
Commitments or (c) the total Covered Debt Amount exceeding the Borrowing Base then in effect; and

 

(b)       each
Multicurrency Lender agrees to make Multicurrency Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an
aggregate principal amount that will not result in (a) such Lender’s Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure exceeding
such Lender’s Multicurrency Commitment, (b) the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure of all of the Multicurrency
Lenders exceeding the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments or (c) the total Covered Debt Amount exceeding the Borrowing Base
then in effect.

 

    	 	40	 

     

    

 

Within the foregoing
limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans.

 

Section 2.02.      Loans
and Borrowings.

 

(a)       Obligations
of Lenders. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class, Currency and Type made by
the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender
to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that
the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans
as required.

 

(b)       Type
of Loans. Subject to Section 2.11, each Borrowing of a Class shall be constituted entirely of ABR Loans or of Eurocurrency
Loans of such Class denominated in a single Currency as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each ABR Loan shall be
denominated in Dollars. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate
of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower
to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(c)       Minimum
Amounts. Each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000, and each
ABR Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing
of a Class may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments of such Class. Borrowings
of more than one Class, Currency or Type may be outstanding at the same time.

 

(d)       Limitations
on Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request (or
to elect to convert to or continue as a Eurocurrency Borrowing) any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefor would
end after the Maturity Date.

 

(e)       [Reserved].

 

(f)       Restatement
Effective Date Adjustments.

 

(i)       On
the Restatement Effective Date Borrower shall (A) prepay the Existing Loans (if any) in full and (B) simultaneously
borrow new Loans hereunder in an amount equal to such prepayment; provided that with respect to subclauses (A) and
(B), (x) the prepayment to, and borrowing from, any Existing Lender shall be effected by book entry to the extent that any
portion of the amount prepaid to such Existing Lender will be subsequently borrowed from such Existing Lender and (y) the
Existing Lenders shall make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that,
after giving effect thereto, the Loans are held ratably by the Lenders in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lenders
(as set forth in Schedule 1.01(b)).  Each of the Lenders consents to any non-pro rata commitment reduction or payment
that is a result of the reallocation. Each of the Lenders agrees to waive repayment of the amounts, if any, payable under Section
2.13 as a result of, and solely in connection with, any such prepayment.

 

    	 	41	 

     

    

 

(ii)       On
the Restatement Effective Date, substantially contemporaneously with the reallocation described in Section 2.02(f)(i), each Increasing
Existing Lender shall make a payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the other Lenders, in an amount calculated
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with such section, so that after giving effect to such payment and to the distribution
thereof to the other Lenders, the Loans are held ratably by the Lenders.

 

Section 2.03.      Requests
for Borrowings.

 

(a)       Notice
by the Borrower. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by delivery of
a signed Borrowing Request or by telephone or e-mail (in each case, followed promptly by delivery (including by e-mail) of a signed
Borrowing Request) (i) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars, not later than noon, New York
City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated
in a Foreign Currency, not later than noon, New York City time, four (4) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing,
or (iii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than noon, New York City time, one (1) Business Day before the date of
the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery
or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed
by the Borrower. It is the intention of the Borrower to use its commercially reasonable efforts to make Borrowings hereunder in
a manner such that, after giving effect to each extension of credit hereunder, each Lender’s outstanding principal amount
of its Loans as a percentage of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans outstanding is in accordance with its Applicable
Percentage.

 

(b)       Content
of Borrowing Requests. Each telephonic and written (including an e-mail request) Borrowing Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02:

 

(i)       whether
such Borrowing is to be made under the Dollar Commitments, the Multicurrency Commitments or both (and, if both, the amount of the
Borrowing under each Class);

 

(ii)       the
aggregate amount and Currency of each Class of the requested Borrowing;

 

(iii)       the
date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

 

(iv)       in
the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

 

    	 	42	 

     

    

 

(v)       in
the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the
term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d); and

 

(vi)       the
location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements
of Section 2.04.

 

(c)       Notice
by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section,
the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amounts of such Lender’s Loan
to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

 

(d)       Failure
to Elect. If no election as to the Class of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall
be deemed to be under both the Multicurrency Commitments and Dollar Commitments, provided however, that if no election as to a
Class is specified but an Agreed Foreign Currency has been specified then the requested Borrowing shall be deemed to be under the
Multicurrency Commitments. If no election as to the Currency of a Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be
denominated in Dollars. If no election as to the Type of a Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Eurocurrency
Borrowing having an Interest Period of one month and, if an Agreed Foreign Currency has been specified, the requested Borrowing
shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency and having an Interest Period of one (1) month. If
a Eurocurrency Borrowing is requested but no Interest Period is specified, (i) if the Currency specified for such Borrowing is
Dollars (or if no Currency has been so specified), the requested Borrowing shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars
having an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration, and (ii) if the Currency specified for such Borrowing is an Agreed
Foreign Currency, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration.

 

Section 2.04.      Funding
of Borrowings

.

(a)       Funding
by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately
available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it
for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly
crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing
Request.

 

(b)       Presumption
by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed
date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing,
the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of
this Section and, in reliance upon such assumption, the Administrative Agent may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation
to do so) 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 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 such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable
to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s
Loan included in such Borrowing.

 

    	 	43	 

     

    

 

Section 2.05.       Interest
Elections

.

(a)       Elections
by the Borrower for Borrowings. Subject to Section 2.03(d), the Loans constituting each Borrowing initially shall be of
the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have the Interest Period
specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, subject to Section 2.05(e), the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to
a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Eurocurrency
Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided, however, that (i) the
Borrower may only continue or convert a Borrowing of a Class into a Borrowing of the same Class, (ii) the Borrower may not continue
or convert a Borrowing denominated in one Currency as or to a Borrowing in a different Currency, (iii) the Borrower may not continue
a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency
Credit Exposures would exceed the aggregate Multicurrency Commitments, and (iv) the Borrower may not convert a Eurocurrency Borrowing
denominated in a Foreign Currency to a Borrowing of a different Type. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to
different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders of the
respective Class holding the Loans constituting such Borrowing (except as provided under Section 2.11(b)), and the Loans constituting
each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

 

(b)       Notice
of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election
by delivery of a signed Interest Election Request or by telephone (followed promptly, but no later than the close of business on
the date of such request, by a signed Interest Election Request) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03
if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.
Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.

 

(c)       Content
of Interest Election Requests. Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

 

(i)       the
Borrowing (including the Class) to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with
respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information
to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

 

    	 	44	 

     

    

 

(ii)       the
effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

 

(iii)       whether,
in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;
and

 

(iv)       if
the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall
be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d);
provided that there shall be no more than ten (10) separate interest rate contracts (either tenor or benchmark) outstanding at
any one time; provided further, that if a Dollar Loan and a Multicurrency Loan have Interest Periods beginning and ending on the
same dates, they shall be deemed to be a single interest rate contract for the purpose of the limit set forth in this clause (iv),
and for the avoidance of doubt, any ABR Loans do not count against such limit.

 

(d)       Notice
by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative
Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

 

(e)       Failure
to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect
to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided
herein, (i) if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to
a Eurocurrency Borrowing of the same Class having an Interest Period of one (1) month, and (ii) if such Borrowing is denominated
in a Foreign Currency, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month’s duration. Notwithstanding
any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request
of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, (i) any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall, at the end of the
applicable Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Borrowing, be automatically converted to an ABR Borrowing, (ii) the Borrower shall
not be entitled to elect to convert or continue any Borrowing into or as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (iii) any Eurocurrency Borrowing
denominated in a Foreign Currency shall not have an Interest Period of more than one (1) month’s duration.

 

Section 2.06.       Termination,
Reduction or Increase of the Commitments.

 

(a)       Scheduled
Termination. On the Revolver Termination Date the Commitments of each Class shall automatically be reduced to an amount equal
to the aggregate principal amount of the Loans of all Lenders of such Class outstanding on the Revolver Termination Date and thereafter
to an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Loans of such Class outstanding after giving effect to each payment
of principal hereunder; provided that, for clarity, no Lender shall have any obligation to make new Loans on or after the
Revolver Termination Date, and any outstanding amounts shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date in accordance with Section
2.07.

 

    	 	45	 

     

    

 

(b)       Voluntary
Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments ratably among
each Class, so long as no Borrowing Request is outstanding, the Borrowing under which would cause the aggregate amount of all outstanding
Loans (including such Borrowing) to exceed the reduced amount of the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction
of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be in an amount (when considered in the aggregate with all reductions
being applied contemporaneously to the Classes being reduced) that is $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof
and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of
the Loans of any Class in accordance with Section 2.08, the total Revolving Credit Exposures of such Class would exceed the
total Commitments of such Class.

 

(c)       Notice
of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce
the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such
termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the
Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant
to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments of a Class delivered
by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such
notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if
such condition is not satisfied.

 

(d)       Effect
of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments of a Class shall be permanent. Each reduction
of the Commitments of a Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders of such Class in accordance with their respective Commitments.

 

(e)       [Intentionally
omitted]

 

(f)       Increase
of the Commitments.

 

(i)       Requests
for Increase by Borrower. The Borrower may, at any time prior to the Revolver Termination Date, propose that the Commitments
hereunder of a Class be increased (each such proposed increase being a “Commitment Increase”) by notice
to the Administrative Agent specifying each existing Lender (each an “Increasing Lender”) and/or each additional
lender (each an “Assuming Lender”) that shall have agreed to an additional Commitment and the date on which
such increase is to be effective (the “Commitment Increase Date”), which shall be a Business Day at least three
Business Days (or such lesser period as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) after delivery of such
notice and 30 days prior to the Revolver Termination Date; provided that each Lender may determine in its sole discretion
whether or not it chooses to participate in a Commitment Increase; provided, further that:

 

    	 	46	 

     

    

 

(A)       the
minimum amount of the Commitment (in the aggregate for all relevant Classes) of any Assuming Lender, and the minimum amount of
the increase of the Commitment (in the aggregate for all relevant Classes) of any Increasing Lender, as part of such Commitment
Increase shall be $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in each case, in such other amounts as agreed
by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion),

 

(B)       immediately
after giving effect to such Commitment Increase, the total Commitments of all of the Lenders hereunder shall not exceed $400,000,000;

 

(C)       each
Assuming Lender and the Commitment Increase shall be consented to by the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld);

 

(D)       no
Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such Commitment Increase Date or shall result from the proposed Commitment Increase;
and

 

(E)       the
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material
respects (other than any representation or warranty already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which shall be
true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Commitment Increase Date as if made on and as of such date (or, if any such
representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date).

 

(ii)       Effectiveness
of Commitment Increase by Borrower. The Assuming Lender, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder as of such Commitment Increase
Date and the Commitment of the respective Class of any Increasing Lender and such Assuming Lender shall be increased as of such
Commitment Increase Date; provided that:

 

(x)       the
Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to noon, New York City time, on such Commitment Increase Date (or on
or prior to a time on an earlier date specified by the Administrative Agent) a certificate of a duly authorized officer of the
Borrower stating that each of the applicable conditions to such Commitment Increase set forth in the foregoing paragraph (i) has
been satisfied; and

 

(y)       each
Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to noon, New York City
time on such Commitment Increase Date (or on or prior to a time on an earlier date specified by the Administrative Agent), an agreement,
in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, pursuant to which such Lender shall, effective
as of such Commitment Increase Date, undertake a Commitment or an increase of Commitment, in each case of the respective Class,
duly executed by such Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, as applicable, and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative
Agent.

 

    	 	47	 

     

    

 

Promptly following satisfaction
of such conditions, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of such Class (including any Assuming Lenders) thereof
and of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase Date by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system.

 

(iii)       Recordation
into Register. Upon its receipt of an agreement referred to in clause (ii)(y) above executed by an Assuming Lender or
any Increasing Lender, together with the certificate referred to in clause (ii)(x) above, the Administrative Agent shall,
if such agreement has been completed, (x) accept such agreement, (y) record the information contained therein in the
Register and (z) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

 

(iv)       Adjustments
of Borrowings upon Effectiveness of Increase. On each Commitment Increase Date, the Borrower shall (A) prepay the outstanding
Loans (if any) of such Class in full, (B) simultaneously borrow new Loans of such Class hereunder in an amount equal
to such prepayment; provided that with respect to subclauses (A) and (B), (x) the prepayment to, and borrowing
from, any existing Lender shall be effected by book entry to the extent that any portion of the amount prepaid to such Lender will
be subsequently borrowed from such Lender and (y) the existing Lenders, the Increasing Lenders and the Assuming Lenders shall
make and receive payments among themselves, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, so that, after giving effect thereto,
the Loans of such Class are held ratably by the Lenders of such Class in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lenders
of such Class (after giving effect to such Commitment Increase) and (C) pay to the Lenders of such Class the amounts,
if any, payable under Section 2.13 as a result of any such prepayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise consented
in writing by the Borrower, no Commitment Increase Date shall occur on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period. The
Administrative Agent shall amend Schedule 1.01(b) to reflect the aggregate amount of each Lender’s Dollar Commitments and
Multicurrency Commitments (including Increasing Lenders and Assuming Lenders). Each reference to Schedule 1.01(b) in this Agreement
shall be to Schedule 1.01(b) as amended pursuant to this Section.

 

(v)       Terms
of Loans issued on the Commitment Increase Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and provisions of any new Loans issued
by any Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, and the Commitment Increase of any Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, shall be
identical to the Loans issued by, and the Commitments of, the Lenders immediately prior to the applicable Commitment Increase Date.

Section 2.07.       Repayment
of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

 

(a)       Repayment.
Subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative
Agent for account of the Lenders of each Class the outstanding principal amount of the Loans of such Class and all other amounts
due and owing hereunder and under the other Loan Documents on the Maturity Date.

 

(b)       Manner
of Payment. Subject to Section 2.08(d), prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings of any Class hereunder, the
Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of such Class to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy or e-mail) of such selection not later than the time set forth in Section 2.08(e) prior to the
scheduled date of such repayment; provided that each repayment of Borrowings of a Class shall be applied to repay any outstanding
ABR Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings of such Class. If the Borrower fails to make a timely selection of the
Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of
such Class and, second, to any remaining Borrowings of such Class in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest
Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment of a Borrowing of a Class
shall be applied ratably to the Loans of such Class included in such Borrowing (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11(b)).

 

(c)       Maintenance
of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness
of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts and Currency of principal and
interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

 

(d)       Maintenance
of Records by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the
amount and Currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount
and Currency of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender of such
Class hereunder and (iii) the amount and Currency of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of
the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

 

(e)       Effect
of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall
be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided
that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict
between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

 

    	 	49	 

     

    

 

(f)       Promissory
Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note; in such event, the Borrower
shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to
such Lender and its permitted registered assigns) and in a form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Thereafter, the Loans
evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be
represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered
note, to such payee and its permitted registered assigns).

 

Section 2.08.       Prepayment
of Loans.

 

(a)       Optional
Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time (but subject to Section 2.08(e)) to prepay
any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or fee (but subject to Section 2.13), subject to the requirements of this Section.
Each prepayment in part under this Section 2.08 shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 (or, if the total amount of such Borrowing
is less than $1,000,000, the entire remaining outstanding amount of such Borrowing) or a larger multiple of $100,000.

 

(b)       Mandatory
Prepayments due to Changes in Exchange Rates.

 

(i)       Determination
of Amount Outstanding. On each Quarterly Date and, in addition, promptly upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of a
Currency Valuation Notice (as defined below), the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit
Exposure. For the purpose of this determination, the outstanding principal amount of any Loan that is denominated in any Foreign
Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount in the Foreign Currency of such Loan, determined as of such
Quarterly Date or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m., New York
City time, on a Business Day, on such Business Day or, in the case of a Currency Valuation Notice otherwise received, on the first
Business Day after such Currency Valuation Notice is received. Upon making such determination, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Multicurrency Lenders and the Borrower thereof.

 

(ii)       Prepayment.
If on the date of such determination the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency Credit Exposure exceeds 105% of the aggregate amount
of the Multicurrency Commitments as then in effect, the Borrower shall, promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business
Days following the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent described in clause (i) above) prepay the
Multicurrency Loans in such amounts as shall be necessary so that after giving effect thereto the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency
Credit Exposure does not exceed the Multicurrency Commitments.

 

For purposes hereof, “Currency Valuation
Notice” means a notice given by the Required Multicurrency Lenders to the Administrative Agent stating that such notice is
a “Currency Valuation Notice” and requesting that the Administrative Agent determine the aggregate Revolving Multicurrency
Credit Exposure. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to make more than one valuation determination pursuant to Currency
Valuation Notices within any rolling three month period.

 

    	 	50	 

     

    

  

(c)       Mandatory
Prepayments due to Borrowing Base Deficiency. In the event that the amount of total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the total
Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay (subject to Section 2.08(e)) Loans in such amounts as shall be necessary so that the amount
of total Revolving Credit Exposure does not exceed the total Commitments. In the event that at any time any Borrowing Base Deficiency
shall exist, within 5 Business Days, the Borrower shall either prepay (x) the Loans so that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is promptly
cured or (y) the Loans and the Other Covered Indebtedness in such amounts as shall be necessary so that such Borrowing Base Deficiency
is promptly cured (and, as among the Loans and the Other Covered Indebtedness, at least ratably (based on the outstanding principal
amount of such Indebtedness) as to payments of Loans in relation to Other Covered Indebtedness); provided, that if within
such 5 Business Day period, the Borrower shall present to the Administrative Agent a reasonably feasible plan, which plan is reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will enable any such Borrowing Base Deficiency to be cured within 30 Business Days
of the occurrence of such Borrowing Base Deficiency (which 30-Business Day period shall include the 5 Business Days permitted for
delivery of such plan), then such prepayment or reduction shall be effected in accordance with such plan (subject, for the avoidance
of doubt, to the limitations set forth above in this Section 2.08(c)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay interest
in accordance with Section 2.10(c) for so long as the Covered Debt Amount exceeds the Borrowing Base during such 30-Business Day
period. For clarity, in the event that the Borrowing Base Deficiency is not cured prior to the end of such 5-Business Day period
(or, if applicable, such 30-Business Day period), it shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a).

 

(d)       Mandatory
Prepayments due to Certain Events Following Availability Period. Subject to Section 2.08(e) below:

 

(i)       Asset
Sales. In the event that any Obligor shall receive any Net Asset Sale Proceeds at any time after the Availability Period, the
Borrower shall, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds, prepay the Loans in
an amount equal to 100% of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds (and the Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount); provided,
that with respect to Asset Sales of assets that are not Portfolio Investments, the Borrower shall not be required to prepay the
Loans unless and until (and to the extent that) the aggregate Net Asset Sale Proceeds relating to all such Asset Sales are greater
than $2,000,000.

 

(ii)       Extraordinary
Receipts. In the event (but only to the extent) that the aggregate amount of all Extraordinary Receipts received by the Obligors
at any time after the Availability Period exceeds $2,000,000, the Borrower shall, no later than the third Business Day following
the receipt of such excess Extraordinary Receipts, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such excess Extraordinary Receipts (and
the Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount); provided, that if the Loans to be prepaid are Eurocurrency
Loans, the Borrower may defer such prepayment (and permanent Commitment reduction) until the last day of the Interest Period applicable
to such Loans, so long as the Borrower deposits an amount equal to such excess Extraordinary Receipts, no later than the third
Business Day following the receipt of such excess Extraordinary Receipts, into a segregated collateral account in the name
and under the dominion and control of the Administrative Agent pending application of such amount to the prepayment of the Loans
(and permanent reduction of the Commitments) on the last day of such Interest Period.

 

    	 	51	 

     

    

 

(iii)       Returns
of Capital. In the event that any Obligor shall receive any Return of Capital at any time after the Availability Period, the
Borrower shall, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such Return of Capital, prepay the Loans in an amount
equal to 100% of such Return of Capital (and the Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount); provided, that
if the Loans to be prepaid are Eurocurrency Loans, the Borrower may defer such prepayment (and permanent Commitment reduction)
until the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loans, so long as the Borrower deposits an amount equal to 100% of
such Return of Capital, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such Return of Capital, into a segregated
collateral account in the name and under the dominion and control of the Administrative Agent pending application of such amount
to the prepayment of the Loans (and permanent reduction of the Commitments) on the last day of such Interest Period.

 

(iv)       Equity
Issuances. In the event that the Borrower shall receive any Cash proceeds from the issuance of Equity Interests of the Borrower
at any time after the Availability Period, the Borrower shall, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such
Cash proceeds, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such Cash proceeds, net of underwriting discounts
and commissions or other similar payments and other costs, fees, premiums and expenses directly associated therewith, including,
without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses (and the Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount).

 

(v)       Indebtedness.
In the event that any Obligor shall receive any Cash proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness at any time after the Availability
Period, such Obligor shall, no later than the third Business Day following the receipt of such Cash proceeds, prepay the Loans
in an amount equal to 100% of such Cash proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions or other similar payments and other
costs, fees, commissions, premiums and expenses directly associated therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable legal
fees and expenses (and the Commitments shall be permanently reduced by such amount).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and subject to clause (e) below, if, in connection with any of the events specified in this Section 2.08(d), the Borrower receives
any proceeds or Return of Capital in an Agreed Foreign Currency, the Borrower shall be permitted to pay just the then outstanding
Loans denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency (applied ratably among just the Multicurrency Lenders); provided that
any such proceeds or Return of Capital remaining after the Loans denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency have been paid in
full shall be converted to Dollars and paid ratably among the Dollar Lenders and the Multicurrency Lenders in accordance with clause
(e) below.

 

    	 	52	 

     

    

 

(e)       Notices,
Etc. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (followed promptly by written confirmation) of any
prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars under Section 2.08(a),
not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment
of a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Foreign Currency under Section 2.08(a), not later than 11:00 a.m., London time, four
(4) Business Days before the date of prepayment and (iii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing under Section 2.08(a),
or any prepayment under Section 2.08(b) or (c), not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one (1) Business Day before
the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each
Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the
amount of such prepayment; provided, that, (1) if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice
of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.06(c), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such
notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.06(c) and (2) any such notices given in connection with any
of the events specified in Section 2.08(d) may be conditioned upon (x) the consummation of the issuance of Equity Interests or
Indebtedness (as applicable) or (y) the receipt of net cash proceeds from Extraordinary Receipts or Returns of Capital. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents
thereof. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Subject to clause
(b) above and to the proviso of Section 2.15(c), each prepayment in Dollars shall be applied ratably (based on the outstanding
principal amounts of such indebtedness) between the Dollar Lenders and the Multicurrency Lenders based on the then outstanding
Loans denominated in Dollars and each prepayment in an Agreed Foreign Currency (including as a result of the Borrower’s receipt
of proceeds from a prepayment event in such Agreed Foreign Currency) shall be applied ratably just among the Multicurrency Lenders.
In the event the Borrower is required to make any concurrent prepayments under both paragraph (b) and another paragraph of this
Section 2.08, any such prepayments shall be applied toward a prepayment pursuant to paragraph (b) before any prepayment pursuant
to any other paragraph of this Section 2.08. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.10
and shall be made in the manner specified in Section 2.07(b).

 

Section 2.09.       Fees.

 

(a)       Commitment
Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue
at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the unused amount of the Dollar Commitment and Multicurrency Commitment of such Lender,
as applicable, on each day during the period from and including the Original Restatement Effective Date to the earlier of the date
the Commitments terminate and the Revolver Termination Date. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the following
dates (commencing on the first such dates to occur after the Original Restatement Effective Date): (x) within one Business Day
after each Quarterly Date (calculated as of the most recent Quarterly Date); and (y) on the earlier of the date the Commitments
terminate and the Revolver Termination Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall
be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

 

    	 	53	 

     

    

 

(b)       Administrative
Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at
the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

(c)       Payment
of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative
Agent for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under
any circumstances absent manifest error. Any fees representing the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations of expenses, to the
extent requirements of invoice are not otherwise specified in this Agreement, shall be due (subject to the other terms and conditions
contained herein) within ten (10) Business Days of the date that the Borrower receives from the Administrative Agent an invoice
for such reimbursement obligations. On the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay (i) all fees required to be paid
on the Restatement Effective Date under that certain amended and restated fee letter, dated March 1, 2019, by and between the Borrower
and ING and (ii) all costs and expenses outstanding on such date and required to be paid pursuant to Section 9.03(a)(i).

 

Section 2.10.       Interest.

 

(a)       ABR
Loans. The Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus
the Applicable Margin.

 

(b)       Eurocurrency
Loans. The Loans constituting each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for the related Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

 

(c)       Default
Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Event of Default described in Section 7.01(a), (b), (d) (only with respect
to Section 6.07), (h), (i), (j) or (o) has occurred and is continuing, or on written demand of the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders if any Event of Default described in any other clause of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing, or if the
Covered Debt Amount exceeds the Borrowing Base during the 5-Business Day period (or, if applicable, the 30-Business Day period)
referred to in Section 2.08(c), the interest applicable to the Loans shall accrue, and any fee or other amount payable by
the Borrower hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case
of principal of any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above, or (ii) in the case
of any fee or other amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

 

(d)       Payment
of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan in the Currency
in which such Loan is denominated and upon termination in full of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment
of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Maturity Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid
or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency
Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective
date of such conversion.

 

    	 	54	 

     

    

 

(e)       Computation.
All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the
Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of
365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first
day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative
Agent and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

Section 2.11.       Eurocurrency
Borrowing Provisions.

 

(a)       Alternate
Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Borrowing of a Class (the Currency
of such Borrowing herein called the “Affected Currency”):

 

(i)       the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period; or

 

(ii)       the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders of such Class that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Affected Currency for
such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their respective
Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

 

then the Administrative Agent shall give
notice thereof to the Borrower and the affected Lenders by telephone, telecopy or e-mail as promptly as practicable thereafter
and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and such Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no
longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or the continuation of any
Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective and, if the Affected Currency
is Dollars, such Borrowing (unless prepaid) shall be continued as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing and, if the Affected
Currency is a Foreign Currency, such Borrowing shall be converted to Dollars based on the Dollar Equivalent at such time, (ii)
if the Affected Currency is Dollars and any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars, such Borrowing
shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (iii) if the Affected Currency is a Foreign Currency, any Borrowing Request that requests
a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in the Affected Currency shall be ineffective.

 

    	 	55	 

     

    

 

(b)       Illegality.
Without duplication of any other rights that any Lender has hereunder, if any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful,
or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest
is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, any LIBO
Quoted Currency in the London interbank market or any Non-LIBO Quoted Currency in any relevant market, then, on notice thereof
by such Lender to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency
Borrowings or to convert ABR Borrowings to Eurocurrency Borrowings shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality
of such Lender making or maintaining Eurocurrency Borrowings the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBO
Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Borrowings of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid
such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate,
in each case until such Lender revokes such notice and advises the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) (A) all Eurocurrency Borrowings in Dollars
of such Lender shall automatically convert to ABR Borrowings (the interest rate on which ABR Borrowings of such Lender shall, if
necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBO Rate component of the
Alternate Base Rate) and (B) all Eurocurrency Borrowings in an Agreed Foreign Currency of such Lender shall accrue interest at
the rate equal to the cost to each Lender to fund its pro rata share of such Eurocurrency Borrowing (from whatever source and using
whatever methodologies as such Lender may select in its reasonable discretion), in each case, either on the last day of the Interest
Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if
such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings (in which event Borrower shall not be required to
pay any yield maintenance, breakage or similar fees) and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or
charging interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the
Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBO Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent
is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon
the LIBO Rate. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted. To the extent
any Eurocurrency Borrowing so converted is in an Agreed Foreign Currency, such Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be converted to Dollars
based on the Dollar Equivalent of such Borrowing at the time of such conversion.

 

(c)       Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error)
that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the
circumstances set forth in clause (a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the LIBO Rate or a Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which
the LIBO Rate (or any component thereof) shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the LIBO Rate that (x) gives due consideration
to the then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time
and (y) is a rate for which the Administrative Agent has indicated in writing to the Lenders that it is able to calculate and administer
and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest
and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall
not include a reduction of the Applicable Margin). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such amendment shall become
effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall
not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders,
a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate
of interest is determined in accordance with this clause (c), (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency
Loans shall be suspended and (y) the utilization of the LIBO Rate component in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended.

 

    	 	56	 

     

    

 

Section 2.12.       Increased
Costs.

 

(a)       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 by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the
Adjusted LIBO Rate);

 

(ii)       subject
any Lender to any Taxes (other than Covered Taxes and Taxes described in clauses (a)(ii), (c), (d) and (e) of the definition of
 “Excluded 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 or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or
Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing
shall be to increase the cost to such Lenders of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Eurocurrency Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such
Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b)       Capital
Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have
the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s parent, if any
(or would have the effect of reducing the liquidity of such Lender or such Lender’s parent, if any), as a consequence of
this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s parent could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s
parent with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity position), by an amount deemed to be material by such Lender, then from time
to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Lender’s parent for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)       Certificates
from Lenders. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts, in Dollars, necessary to compensate such Lender
or its parent, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be promptly delivered
to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error (it being understood that no Lender shall be required to disclose
(i) any confidential or price sensitive information or (ii) any information to the extent prohibited by applicable law). The Borrower
shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

    	 	57	 

     

    

 

(d)       Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute
a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate
a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than
six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower in writing of any such Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the six-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

Section 2.13.       Break
Funding Payments; Foreign Currency Losses. (a) In the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan
other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor (including as a result of the occurrence of any Commitment Increase Date
or an Event of Default), (ii) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor,
(iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered
pursuant hereto (including in connection with any Commitment Increase Date and regardless of whether such notice is permitted to
be revocable under Section 2.08(e) and is revoked in accordance herewith), (iv) the assignment as a result of a
request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17(b) of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest
Period therefor or (v) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan (other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor) as a
result of the occurrence of a CAM Exchange or otherwise, including without limitation in connection with Section 2.15, then, in
any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case
of a Eurocurrency Loan, the loss to any Lender attributable to any such event shall be deemed to include an amount determined by
such Lender to be equal to the excess, if any, of

 

(1)       the
amount of interest that such Lender would pay for a deposit equal to the principal amount of such Loan referred to in clauses (i),
(ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of this Section 2.13 denominated in the Currency of such Loan for the period from the date of such payment,
conversion, failure or assignment to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan (or, in the case
of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the duration of the Interest Period that would have resulted from such borrowing,
conversion or continuation) if the interest rate payable on such deposit were equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Currency
for such Interest Period, over

 

(2)       the
amount of interest that such Lender would earn on such principal amount for such period if such Lender were to invest such principal
amount for such period at the interest rate that would be bid by such Lender (or an Affiliate of such Lender) for deposits denominated
in such Currency from other banks in the Eurocurrency market (or, in the case of any Non-LIBO Quoted Currency, in the relevant
market for such Non-LIBO Quoted Currency) at the commencement of such period.

 

    	 	58	 

     

    

 

 

Payments under this Section shall
be made upon written request of a Lender delivered not later than five Business Days following the payment, conversion, or failure
to borrow, convert, continue or prepay that gives rise to a claim under this Section accompanied by a written certificate
of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due
on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

(b)       In
the event that any Loan not denominated in Dollars is converted to, or redenominated in Dollars (including, without limitation,
pursuant to Section 2.15, a CAM Exchange or otherwise), then in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the
loss, cost or expense attributable to such event.

 

Section 2.14.       Taxes.

 

(a)       Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, unless otherwise required by applicable law; provided
that if an applicable Withholding Agent shall be required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments (as determined in
the good faith discretion of such Withholding Agent), then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make
such deductions or withholdings, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (iii) if such Tax is a Covered Tax, the sum payable
by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions
and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) the Administrative Agent or Lender
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

 

(b)       Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrower. In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law.

 

(c)       Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for and, within ten (10) Business Days
after written demand therefor, pay the full amount of any Covered Taxes (including Covered Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable
to amounts payable under this Section 2.14) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may
be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Covered
Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable
detail a calculation and explanation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the
Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

    	 	59	 

     

    

 

(d)       Indemnification
by the Lenders. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any
Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.14(a) or
(c), each Lender shall, and does hereby, agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payable in respect
thereof within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, (i) against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses,
claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) (collectively,
 “Tax Damages”) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any
other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid
to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed,
or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from,
or reduction of withholding tax ineffective) and (ii) Tax Damages attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with
the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register. A certificate setting forth in
reasonable detail a calculation and explanation of 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the
Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of
the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and
the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations.

 

(e)       Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this
Section 2.14, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued
by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any U.S. federal withholding Taxes that are Excluded
Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or
other required documentary evidence on account of such Excluded Taxes, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and
each Lender for any incremental Taxes that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of such failure.

 

(f)       Status
of Lenders.

 

(i)       Any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any
other Loan Documents shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed
by applicable law or 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 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 2.14(f)(ii)(A) or (B)
or Section 2.14(g) 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.

 

    	 	60	 

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

(B)       each
Foreign Lender shall 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, but, in any event, only if such Foreign Lender
is legally entitled to do so) 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 duly completed executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable, or any successor form establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Loan Document, pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with
respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, pursuant to the “business profits” or “other
income” article of such tax treaty,

 

		(2)	duly completed executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or any successor form
certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business
in the United States,

 

		(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, signed under penalties of perjury, to the effect that such Foreign Lender
is not (I) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (II) a “10 percent
shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (III) a “controlled
foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed executed originals of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form), certifying
that the Foreign Lender is not a U.S. Person, or

 

    	 	61	 

     

    

 

		(4)	any other form as prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction
in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, including, to the extent a
Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, duly completed executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY accompanied
by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable,
a certificate substantially similar to the certificate described in Section 2.14(f)(ii)(B)(3)(x) above, Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9 and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable.

 

(C)        any
Foreign Lender shall upon the expiration or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender, to the extent it
is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at any time that it becomes aware that it no
longer satisfies the legal requirements to provide any previously delivered form or certificate (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.

 

(g)       If
a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b)
of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower 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 Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Borrower 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 any such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.14(g), “FATCA”
shall include any amendment made to FATCA after the Restatement Effective Date. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification
it previously delivered under this Agreement 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.

 

    	 	62	 

     

    

 

(h)       Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that
it has received a refund (including any credit of any Taxes in lieu of a refund) of any Covered Taxes as to which it has been indemnified
by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it
shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts
paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Covered Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest
paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in the event
the Administrative Agent or any Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount
to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in
a less favorable net position after-Taxes than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to
indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments
or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (h) shall not be construed to require the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns or its books or records (or any other information relating
to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 

(i)       Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent
or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

 

(j)       Defined
Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

 

Section 2.15.       Payments
Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

 

(a)       Payments
by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest,
fees, or under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise
provided therein) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off,
deduction or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent,
be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, except as otherwise expressly provided in
the relevant Loan Document and except payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03, which shall be made directly
to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any
other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that
is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment
accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

 

    	 	63	 

     

    

 

All amounts owing under
this Agreement (including commitment fees and payments required under Sections 2.12 and 2.13, and payments required under
Section 2.14 relating to any Loan denominated in Dollars, but not including principal of and interest on any Loan denominated in
any Foreign Currency or payments relating to any such Loan required under Section 2.14, which are payable in such Foreign Currency)
or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) are payable in Dollars. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration,
by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), the unpaid portion of such Loan shall, if such Loan is not denominated in Dollars, automatically
be redenominated in Dollars on the due date thereof (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination
and such principal shall be payable on demand; and if the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan that is not denominated
in Dollars, such interest shall automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date therefor after giving effect to any applicable
grace period (or, if such date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest
Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such interest shall be payable
on demand.

 

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

 

    	 	64	 

     

    

 

(c)       Pro
Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Borrowing of a Class shall be made from the Lenders
of such Class, each payment of commitment fee under Section 2.09 shall be made for account of the Lenders of the applicable
Class, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments of a Class under Section 2.06, Section 2.08 or otherwise
shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders of such Class, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective
Commitments of such Class; (ii) each Borrowing of a Class shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts
of their respective Commitments of such Class (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans of such Class
that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans), subject to Section 2.02(e);
(iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans of a Class by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders
of such Class pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them (and,
with respect to the pro rata treatment of prepayments between Classes, any such prepayments shall be made in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.08(e)); and (iv) each payment of interest on Loans of a Class by the Borrower shall be made for account
of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans of such Class then due and payable to the respective
Lenders; provided however that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Borrower
wishes to make a Multicurrency Borrowing in an Agreed Foreign Currency and the Multicurrency Commitments are fully utilized, the
Borrower may make a Borrowing under the Dollar Commitments (if otherwise permitted hereunder) and may use the proceeds of such
Borrowing to prepay the Multicurrency Loans (without making a ratable prepayment to the Dollar Loans) solely to the extent that
the Borrower concurrently utilizes any Multicurrency Commitments made available as a result of such prepayment to make (subject
to the terms and conditions contained herein) a Multicurrency Borrowing in an Agreed Foreign Currency.

 

(d)       Sharing
of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender of a Class shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans, and accrued interest thereon then due than the proportion received by any other
Lender of such Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations
in the Loans of other Lenders of such Class to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by
the Lenders of such Class ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Loans; 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, without
interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant
to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment
of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary
or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower 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 the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as
if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

 

    	 	65	 

     

    

 

(e)       Presumptions
of Payment. 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 account of the Lenders 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 the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate.

 

(f)       Certain
Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04, 2.15(e) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision
hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

 

Section 2.16.       Defaulting
Lenders.

 

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

 

(a)       commitment
fees pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender to the
extent and during the period such Lender is a Defaulting Lender;

 

(b)       the
Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, two-thirds
of the Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including
any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02, except for any amendment or waiver described in Section
9.02(b)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent
of all Lenders, two-thirds of the Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other Lenders
or affected Lenders (as applicable) shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

 

In the event that the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused
such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then, on the date of such agreement, such Lender shall purchase at par the portion of the
Loans of the other Lenders and take such other actions as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for
such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed
by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim
of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

    	 	66	 

     

    

 

Any payment of principal,
interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or
mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7.01 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender,
will be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of
any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long
as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof
as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and
Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential
future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to Lenders
as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default exists, to
the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower
against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and
sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if:
(x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully
funded its appropriate share; and (y) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such Loans were made at a
time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment will be applied solely to pay
the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting
Lender until such time as all Loans are held by Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Exposures hereunder.
Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed
by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 are hereby deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender,
and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

Section 2.17.       Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

 

(a)       Designation
of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender exercises its rights under Section 2.11(b) or requests compensation
under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Covered Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall (at the request of
the Borrower) use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the sole reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate
or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate
the circumstance giving rise to such Lender exercising its rights under Section 2.11(b) and (ii) would not subject
such Lender to any cost or expense not required to be reimbursed by the Borrower and would not otherwise be 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.

(b)       Replacement
of Lenders. If any Lender exercises its rights under Section 2.11(b) or requests compensation under Section 2.12,
or if the Borrower is required to pay any Covered Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for account
of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different
lending office in accordance with Section 2.17(a), or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender becomes
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 Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided
that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee
(to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments
required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender
or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

(c)       Defaulting
Lenders. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.15(e)
or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i)
apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or
(ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of
such Lender under such Sections, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative
Agent in its discretion.

issued by the SEC) or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except

manner to promote and achieve compliance, in the reasonable judgment of the Borrower, by the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
and (when acting on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) their respective directors, officers, employees and agents

Section 5.08.       Certain
Obligations Respecting Subsidiaries; Further Assurances.

 

(a)       Subsidiary
Guarantors.

 

(i)       In
the event that (1) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall form or acquire any new Subsidiary (other than a Financing Subsidiary,
a CFC or a Transparent Subsidiary), or that any other Person shall become a “Subsidiary” within the meaning of the
definition thereof (other than a Financing Subsidiary, a CFC or a Transparent Subsidiary), (2) any SBIC Subsidiary shall no longer
constitute a “SBIC Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof (in which case such Person shall be deemed to be
a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08), (3) any Structured Subsidiary shall no longer constitute a “Structured
Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, if such Structured Subsidiary ceases
to have, in full force and effect, financing provided by an unaffiliated third party) (in which case such Person shall be deemed
to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08), (4) any CFC shall no longer constitute a “CFC”
pursuant to the definition thereof (in which case such Person shall be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes
of this Section 5.08) or (5) any Transparent Subsidiary shall no longer constitute a “Transparent Subsidiary” pursuant
to the definition thereof (in which case such Person shall be deemed to be a “new” Subsidiary for purposes of this
Section 5.08), the Borrower will, in each case, on or before thirty (30) days following such Person becoming a Subsidiary or such
Financing Subsidiary, CFC or Transparent Subsidiary, as the case may be, no longer qualifying as such, cause such new Subsidiary
or former Financing Subsidiary, former CFC or former Transparent Subsidiary, as the case may be, to become a “Subsidiary
Guarantor” (and, thereby, an “Obligor”) under the Guarantee and Security Agreement pursuant to a Guarantee Assumption
Agreement and to deliver such proof of corporate or other action, incumbency of officers, opinions of counsel and other documents
as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested.

 

(ii)       The
Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to exclude each Structured Subsidiary, each SBIC
Subsidiary, each CFC and each Transparent Subsidiary as an Obligor only for so long as such Person qualifies as a “Structured
Subsidiary”, “SBIC Subsidiary”, “CFC” or “Transparent Subsidiary”, respectively, pursuant
to the definition thereof, and thereafter such Person shall no longer constitute a “Structured Subsidiary”, “SBIC
Subsidiary”, “CFC” or “Transparent Subsidiary”, respectively, for any purpose of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long
as (1) no Default exists, (2) the Borrowing Base is at least 115% of the Covered Debt Amount at all times during the period in
which such Subsidiary no longer constitutes a “Structured Subsidiary”, (3) such Subsidiary no longer constitutes a
 “Structured Subsidiary” solely for failing to satisfy clause (d)(1) of the definition thereof and (4) the Borrower
delivers to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer certifying as to each of the foregoing conditions, such
Subsidiary may be redesignated a “Structured Subsidiary”, “SBIC Subsidiary”, “CFC” or “Transparent
Subsidiary”, respectively, to the extent that (x) at the time such Subsidiary fails to qualify as a “Structured Subsidiary”,
 “SBIC Subsidiary”, “CFC” or “Transparent Subsidiary”, respectively, such Subsidiary is in good
faith negotiating with an unaffiliated third party to provide such Subsidiary with third party financing and (y) within thirty
(30) days of the date on which such Subsidiary fails to qualify as a “Structured Subsidiary”, “SBIC Subsidiary”,
 “CFC” or “Transparent Subsidiary”, respectively, such Subsidiary enters into definitive documentation relating
to such third party financing; provided, further, that it is expressly agreed that if such third party financing
is not obtained within such 30-day period, the Borrower shall immediately cause such Subsidiary to become a “Subsidiary Guarantor”
in accordance with Section 5.08(a)(i) (and it will be an Event of Default hereunder if such Subsidiary has not become a “Subsidiary
Guarantor” in accordance with Section 5.08(a)(i) on such 30th day).

 

    	 	86	 

     

    

 

(iii)       The
Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to exclude each SBIC Subsidiary as an Obligor only
for so long as such Person qualifies as an “SBIC Subsidiary” pursuant to the definition thereof, and thereafter such
Person shall no longer constitute an “SBIC Subsidiary” for any purpose of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

(b)       Ownership
of Subsidiaries. The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, take such action from time to time as shall
be necessary to ensure that each of its Subsidiaries is a wholly owned Subsidiary.

 

(c)       Further
Assurances. The Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, take such action from time to time as shall
reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent to effectuate the purposes and objectives of this Agreement. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, to:

 

(i)       take
such action from time to time (including filing appropriate Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and executing and delivering
such assignments, security agreements and other instruments) as shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to create,
in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (and any affiliate thereof that is a party to any Hedging Agreement
entered into with the Borrower) and the holders of any Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness, perfected first-priority security
interests and Liens in the Collateral (subject to Eligible Liens or any Liens described in clause (b) of the definition of “Permitted
Liens”); provided that any such security interest or Lien shall be subject to the relevant requirements of the Security
Documents; 

 

(ii)       with
respect to each deposit account or securities account of the Obligors (other than (A) any such accounts that are maintained by
the Borrower in its capacity as “servicer” for a Financing Subsidiary or any Agency Account, (B) any such accounts
which hold solely money or financial assets of a Financing Subsidiary, (C) any payroll account so long as such payroll account
is coded as such, (D) withholding tax and fiduciary accounts or any trust account maintained solely on behalf of a Portfolio Investment,
(E) checking accounts of the Obligors that do not contain, at any one time, an aggregate balance in excess of $1,000,000, provided
that Borrower will, and will cause each of its Subsidiary Guarantors to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain control
agreements governing any such account in this clause (E), and (F) any account in which the aggregate value of deposits therein,
together with all other such accounts under this clause (F), does not at any time exceed $75,000, provided that in the case of
each of the foregoing clauses (A) through (F), no other Person (other than the depository institution at which such account is
maintained) shall have “control” (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code) over such account, cause each
bank or securities intermediary (within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code) to enter into such arrangements with the
Collateral Agent as shall be appropriate in order that the Collateral Agent has “control” (within the meaning of the
Uniform Commercial Code) over each such deposit account or securities account (each, a “Control Account”) and
in that connection, the Borrower agrees, subject to Sections 5.08(c)(iv) and (v) below, to cause all cash and other proceeds of
Portfolio Investments received by any Obligor to be immediately deposited into a Control Account (or otherwise delivered to, or
registered in the name of, the Collateral Agent) and, both prior to and following such deposit, delivery or registration such
cash and other proceeds shall be held in trust by the Borrower for the benefit and as the property of the Collateral Agent and
shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of such Obligor or any other Person (including with any money or financial
assets of the Borrower in its capacity as “servicer” for a Structured Subsidiary, or any money or financial assets
of a Structured Subsidiary, or any money or financial assets of the Borrower in its capacity as an “agent” or “administrative
agent” for any other Bank Loans subject to Section 5.08(c)(v) below));

 

    	 	87	 

     

    

 

(iii)       cause
the Financing Subsidiaries to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such certificates and agreements, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as it shall determine are necessary to confirm that such Financing Subsidiary
qualifies or continues to qualify as a “Structured Subsidiary” or an “SBIC Subsidiary”, as applicable,
pursuant to the definitions thereof;

 

(iv)       in
the case of any Portfolio Investment consisting of a Bank Loan (as defined in Section 5.13) that does not constitute all of the
credit extended to the underlying borrower under the relevant underlying loan documents and a Financing Subsidiary holds any interest
in the loans or other extensions of credit under such loan documents, (x)(1) cause the interest owned by such Financing Subsidiary
to be evidenced by separate execution of relevant loan documentation by, or assignment documentation in the name of, such Financing
Subsidiary and, if such interest is evidenced by notes, cause such interest to be evidenced by a separate note or notes, which
note or notes are either (A) in the name of such Financing Subsidiary or (B) in the name of the Borrower, endorsed in
blank and delivered to the applicable Financing Subsidiary and beneficially owned by the Financing Subsidiary and (2) not permit
such Financing Subsidiary to have a participation acquired from an Obligor in such underlying loan documents and the extensions
of credit thereunder or any other indirect interest therein acquired from an Obligor; and (y) ensure that, subject to Section 5.08(c)(v)
below, all amounts owing to any Obligor by the underlying borrower or other obligated party are remitted by such borrower or obligated
party (or the applicable administrative agents, collateral agents or equivalent Person) directly to the Custodian Account and no
other amounts owing by such underlying borrower or obligated party are remitted to the Custodian Account;

 

(v)       in
the event that any Obligor is acting as an agent or administrative agent under any loan documents with respect to any Bank Loan
(or is acting in an analogous agency capacity under any agreement related to any Portfolio Investment) and such Obligor does not
hold all of the credit extended to the underlying borrower or issuer under the relevant underlying loan documents or other agreements,
ensure that (1) all funds held by such Obligor in such capacity as agent or administrative agent are segregated from all other
funds of such Obligor and clearly identified as being held in an agency capacity (an “Agency Account”); (2)
all amounts owing on account of such Bank Loan or Portfolio Investment by the underlying borrower or other obligated party are
remitted by such borrower or obligated party to either (A) such Agency Account or (B) directly to an account in the name of
the underlying lender to whom such amounts are owed (for the avoidance of doubt, no funds representing amounts owing to more than
one underlying lender may be remitted to any single account other than the Agency Account); and (3) within two (2) Business Days
after receipt of such funds, such Obligor acting in its capacity as agent or administrative agent shall distribute any such funds
belonging to any Obligor to the Custodian Account (provided that if any distribution referred to in this clause (c) is not permitted
by applicable bankruptcy law to be made within such two-Business Day period as a result of the bankruptcy of the underlying borrower,
such Obligor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain permission to make such distribution and shall make such distribution
as soon as legally permitted to do so);

 

    	 	88	 

     

    

 

(vi)       cause
the documentation relating to each Investment in Indebtedness described in paragraph 1 of Schedule 1.01(d) to be delivered to the
Custodian as provided therein; and

 

(vii)       in
the case of any Portfolio Investment held by any Financing Subsidiary, including any cash collection related thereto, ensure that
such Portfolio Investment shall not be held in any Custodian Account, or any other account of any Obligor.

 

Section 5.09.       Use
of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans only for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
(other than the Financing Subsidiaries except as expressly permitted under Section 6.03(e) or (f)) in the ordinary course of business,
including making distributions not prohibited by this Agreement and the acquisition and funding (either directly or through one
or more wholly owned Subsidiary Guarantors) of leveraged loans, mezzanine loans, high-yield securities, convertible securities,
preferred stock, common stock and other Portfolio Investments; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender
shall have any responsibility as to the use of any of such proceeds. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used in violation
of applicable law or, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying
any Margin Stock. On the first day (if any) an Obligor acquires any Margin Stock or at any other time requested by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect
in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U. Margin Stock shall
be purchased by the Obligors only with the proceeds of Indebtedness not directly or indirectly secured by Margin Stock (within
the meaning of Regulation U), or with the proceeds of equity capital of the Borrower. No Obligor will, to its actual knowledge,
directly or indirectly use the proceeds of the Loans or otherwise make available such proceeds (I) to any Person for the purpose
of financing the activities of any Person currently (A) subject to, or the subject of, any Sanctions or (B) organized or resident
in a Sanctioned Country or (II) for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political
party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business
or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws.

 

Section 5.10.       Status
of RIC and BDC. The Borrower shall at all times maintain its status as a RIC under the Code, and as a “business development
company” under the Investment Company Act.

 

    	 	89	 

     

    

 

Section 5.11.       Investment
Policies. The Borrower shall at all times be in compliance in all material respects with its Investment Policies.

 

Section 5.12.       Portfolio
Valuation and Diversification Etc.; Risk Factor Ratings.

 

(a)       Industry
Classification Groups. For purposes of this Agreement, the Borrower shall assign each Eligible Portfolio Investment to an Industry
Classification Group as reasonably determined by the Borrower. To the extent that the Borrower reasonably determines that any Eligible
Portfolio Investment is not adequately correlated with the risks of other Eligible Portfolio Investments in an Industry Classification
Group, such Eligible Portfolio Investment may be assigned by the Borrower to an Industry Classification Group that is more closely
correlated to such Eligible Portfolio Investment.

 

(b)       Portfolio
Valuation Etc.

 

(i)       Settlement-Date
Basis. For purposes of this Agreement, all determinations of whether an investment is to be included as an Eligible Portfolio
Investment shall be determined on a settlement-date basis (meaning that any investment that has been purchased will not be treated
as an Eligible Portfolio Investment until such purchase has settled, and any Eligible Portfolio Investment which has been sold
will not be excluded as an Eligible Portfolio Investment until such sale has settled), provided that no such investment shall be
included as an Eligible Portfolio Investment to the extent it has not been paid for in full.

 

(ii)       Determination
of Values. The Borrower will conduct reviews of the value to be assigned to each of its Eligible Portfolio Investments as follows:

 

(A)       Quoted
Investments External Review. With respect to Eligible Portfolio Investments (including Cash Equivalents) for which market quotations
are readily available and are reflective of an actual trade executed within a reasonable period of such quotation (“Quoted
Investments”), the Borrower shall, not less frequently than once each calendar week, determine the market value of such
Quoted Investments which shall, in each case, be determined in accordance with one of the following methodologies as selected by
the Borrower (each such value, an “External Quoted Value”):

 

(w)       in
the case of public and 144A securities, the average of the recent bid prices as determined by two Approved Dealers selected by
the Borrower,

 

(x)       in
the case of Bank Loans, the average of the recent bid prices as determined by two Approved Dealers selected by the Borrower or
an Approved Pricing Service which makes reference to at least two Approved Dealers with respect to such Bank Loans,

 

    	 	90	 

     

    

 

(y)       in
the case of any Quoted Investment traded on an exchange, the closing price for such Quoted Investment most recently posted on such
exchange, and

 

(z)       in
the case of any other Quoted Investment, the fair market value thereof as determined by an Approved Pricing Service.

 

(B)       Unquoted
Investments External Review. With respect to Eligible Portfolio Investments for which market quotations are not readily available
(“Unquoted Investments”), other than No External Review Assets, the Borrower shall request an Approved Third-Party
Appraiser to assist the Board of Directors of the Borrower in determining the fair market value of such Unquoted Investments, as
at the last day of each fiscal quarter following the Original Effective Date (each such value, an “External Unquoted Value”)
and to provide the Board of Directors with a written independent valuation report as part of that assistance each quarter. Each
such valuation report shall also include the information required to comply with paragraph 8 and paragraph 22 of Schedule 1.01(d).

 

(C)       Internal
Review. The Borrower shall conduct internal reviews to determine the value of all Eligible Portfolio Investments at least once
each calendar week which shall take into account any events of which the Borrower has knowledge that adversely affect the value
of any Eligible Portfolio Investment (each such value, an “Internal Value”).

  

(D)       Value
of Quoted Investments. Subject to clauses (G), (H) and (I) of this Section 5.12(b)(ii), the “Value” of each Quoted
Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be the lowest of (1) the Internal Value of such Quoted Investment as most recently
determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C), (2) the External Quoted Value of such Quoted Investment
as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(A) and (3) 102% of the par or face value of the such Quoted
Investment (or, in the case of Preferred Stock, the Liquidation Preference thereof without taking into account any Accretive Value).

 

(E)       Value
of Unquoted Investments. Subject to clauses (G), (H) and (I) of this Section 5.12(b)(ii),

 

       (I)        if
the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C)
falls below the range of the External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B),
then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the lower of
(i) the Internal Value and (ii) 102% of the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment (or, in the case of Preferred Stock,
the Liquidation Preference thereof without taking into account any Accretive Value);

 

    	 	91	 

     

    

 

       (II)       if
the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C)
falls above the range of the External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B),
then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the lower of
(i) the midpoint of the range of the External Unquoted Value and (ii) 102% of the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment
(or, in the case of Preferred Stock, the Liquidation Preference thereof without taking into account any Accretive Value); and

 

       (III)       if
the Internal Value of any Unquoted Investment as most recently determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C)
is within the range of the External Unquoted Value of such Unquoted Investment as most recently determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(B),
then the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment for all purposes of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the lower of
(i) the Internal Value and (ii) 102% of the par or face value of such Unquoted Investment (or, in the case of Preferred Stock,
the Liquidation Preference thereof without taking into account any Accretive Value);

 

except that:

(w)       if
the difference between the highest and lowest External Unquoted Value in such range exceeds an amount equal to 6% of the midpoint
of such range, the “Value” of such Unquoted Investment shall instead be deemed to be the lowest of (i) the lowest External
Unquoted Value in such range, (ii) the Internal Value determined pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(C), and (iii) 102% of the par
or face value of such Unquoted Investment (or, in the case of Preferred Stock, the Liquidation Preference thereof without taking
into account any Accretive Value); and

 

(x)       [intentionally
omitted]; and

 

(y)       the
 “Value” of any Unquoted Investment acquired during a fiscal quarter shall be deemed to be equal to the lower of the
cost of such Unquoted Investment and the Internal Value of such Unquoted Investment until such time as the External Unquoted Value
of such Unquoted Investment is determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.12(b)(ii)(E) as at the last
day of such fiscal quarter.

 

(F)       Actions
Upon a Borrowing Base Deficiency. If, based upon such weekly internal review, the Borrower determines that a Borrowing Base
Deficiency exists or that the Borrowing Base has declined by more than 15% from the Borrowing Base stated in the Borrowing Base
Certificate last delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, then the Borrower shall, promptly and in any event within
two Business Days as provided in Section 5.01(e), deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate reflecting the new amount of the Borrowing
Base and shall take the actions, and make the payments and prepayments (if any), all as more specifically set forth in Section 2.08(c).

 

    	 	92	 

     

    

 

(G)       Failure
to Determine Values. If the Borrower shall fail to determine the value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment as at any date
pursuant to the requirements (but subject to the exclusions) of the foregoing sub-clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) or (E), then the “Value”
of such Eligible Portfolio Investment as at such date shall be deemed to be zero.

 

(H)       Adjustment
of Values. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion exercised
in good faith, may, and upon the request of Required Lenders, shall, revise the Value of any Eligible Portfolio Investment (in
which case the “Value” of such Eligible Portfolio Investment shall for all purposes hereof be deemed to be the Value
assigned by the Administrative Agent) and/or exclude any Eligible Portfolio Investment from the Borrowing Base entirely, so long
as the aggregate reduction in the Borrowing Base resulting from all such revisions and exclusions in any fiscal quarter does not
exceed 7.5%. Any such revision or exclusion shall be effective ten Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s delivery
of notice thereof to the Borrower.

 

(I)       Testing
of Values; Valuation Dispute Resolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall at any time have the
right to request any Unquoted Investment be independently valued by an Approved Third-Party Appraiser retained by the Administrative
Agent. There shall be no limit on the number of such appraisals requested by the Administrative Agent and the costs of any such
valuation shall be at the expense of the Borrower. If the difference between the Borrower’s valuation pursuant to Section
5.12(b)(ii)(E) and the valuation of any Approved Third-Party Appraiser retained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section
5.12(b)(ii)(I) is (1) less than 7.5% of the value thereof, then the Borrower’s valuation pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(E)
shall be used, (2) between 7.5% and 20% of the value thereof, then the valuation of such Portfolio Investment shall be the average
of the value determined by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(E) and the value determined by the Approved Third-Party
Appraiser retained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.12(b)(ii)(I) and (3) greater than 20% of the value thereof,
then the valuation of such Portfolio Investment shall be the lesser of the Borrower’s valuation pursuant to Section 5.12(b)(ii)(E)
and the valuation of any Approved Third-Party Appraiser retained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 5.12(b)(ii)(I).

 

(c)       Investment
Company Diversification Requirements. The Borrower (together with its Subsidiaries to the extent required by the Investment
Company Act) will at all times comply with the portfolio diversification and similar requirements set forth in the Investment Company
Act applicable to business development companies. The Borrower will at all times, subject to applicable grace periods set forth
in the Code, comply with the portfolio diversification and similar requirements set forth in the Code applicable to RICs.

 

    	 	93	 

     

    

 

Section 5.13.       Calculation
of Borrowing Base. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Borrowing Base” shall be determined, as at any
date of determination, as the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (x) the Value of each Eligible Portfolio Investment
by (y) the applicable Advance Rate, expressed as a fraction; provided that:

 

(a)       the
Advance Rate applicable to the aggregate Value of all Eligible Portfolio Investments in their entirety shall be 0% at any time
when the Borrowing Base is composed entirely of Eligible Portfolio Investments issued by less than 15 different issuers;

 

(b)       with
respect to all Eligible Portfolio Investments issued by a single issuer, the Advance Rate applicable to that portion of the Value
of such Eligible Portfolio Investments that exceeds 7.5% of the Obligors’ Net Worth shall be 0%; provided that, with
respect to each of the six (6) largest Portfolio Companies (based on the fair value of the Eligible Portfolio Investments), only
that portion of the Eligible Portfolio Investments issued by such Portfolio Company that exceeds 10% of the Obligors’ Net
Worth shall have an Advance Rate of 0%;

 

(c)       if
at any time the weighted average Risk Factor of all Eligible Portfolio Investments (other than Eligible Portfolio Investments that
are ABL Transactions) in the Borrowing Base (based on the fair value of such Eligible Portfolio Investments) exceeds 3490, the
Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent
necessary to cause the weighted average Risk Factor of all Eligible Portfolio Investments (other than Eligible Portfolio Investments
that are ABL Transactions) in the Borrowing Base to be no greater than 3490 (subject to all other constraints, limitations and
restrictions set forth herein);

 

(d)       the
portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Eligible Portfolio Investments (other than Eligible Portfolio Investments that are
ABL Transactions) with a Risk Factor higher than 3490 shall not exceed 25% of the Borrowing Base and the Borrowing Base shall be
reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent such portion would otherwise

to be no greater than 4.75 (subject to all other constraints, limitations and restrictions set forth herein); provided that
any LTV Transactions shall be excluded from such calculation;

 

(h)       the
portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Eligible Portfolio Investments in each of the Industry Classification Groups that
are part of the Two Largest Industry Classification Groups shall, in each case, not exceed 20% of the Borrowing Base and the Borrowing
Base shall be reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent such portion
would otherwise exceed 20% of the Borrowing Base;

from the Collateral) to the extent such portion would otherwise exceed 15% of the Borrowing Base;

 

(j)       if
at any time the weighted average maturity of all Debt Eligible Portfolio Investments (based on the fair value of such Eligible
Portfolio Investments to the extent included in the Borrowing Base) exceeds 5.0 years, the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing
Debt Eligible Portfolio Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent necessary to cause the weighted average
maturity of all Debt Eligible Portfolio Investments included in the Borrowing Base to be no greater than 5.0 years (subject to
all other constraints, limitations and restrictions set forth herein);

 

(k)       the
portion of the Borrowing Base attributable to Debt Eligible Portfolio Investments with a maturity greater than 7 years shall not

    	 	95	 

     

    

 

(m)          if
at any time the Weighted Average Fixed Coupon (after giving effect to any Hedging Agreement) is less than the greater of (i) 8%
and (ii) the one-month LIBO Rate plus 4.5%, the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Debt Eligible Portfolio Investments
therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent necessary to cause the Weighted Average Fixed Coupon to be at least equal
to the greater of (x) 8% and (y) LIBO Rate plus 4.5% (subject to all other constraints, limitations and restrictions set forth

(without taking into account any No External Review Assets), the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by removing Eligible Portfolio
Investments therefrom (but not from the Collateral) to the extent the fair value of the No External Review Assets included in the

provided,
that, at any time the Asset Coverage Ratio is less than 1.67 to 1 and the contribution
of First Lien Bank Loans (including, for clarity,
LTV Transactions that are not Indirect Real Estate LTV Transactions)
to the Borrowing Base is less than 70% (in each case, as reported in the most recently delivered monthly Borrowing
Base Certificate) every Advance Rate in the table above that is below the line for “Performing
First Lien Bank Loans” shall be 5% less than the applicable rate indicated in the table. For the avoidance of doubt,
the above categories are intended to be indicative of the traditional investment types in
a fully capitalized issuer. All determinations of whether a particular Portfolio Investment belongs
to one category or another shall be made by the Borrower on a consistent basis with the
foregoing. For example, a secured bank loan solely at a holding company, the only assets
of which are the shares of an operating company, may constitute Mezzanine Investments, but
would not ordinarily constitute a First Lien Bank Loan.

extent perfection by filing, registration, recordation, possession or control is required herein or therein) in favor of the
Collateral Agent (or any Obligor or any Affiliate of an Obligor shall so assert in writing), free and clear of all other Liens
(other than Liens permitted under Section 6.02 or under the respective Security Documents), except to the extent that any
such loss of perfection results from the failure of the Collateral Agent to maintain possession of certificates representing securities
pledged under the Guarantee and Security Agreement; provided that if such default is as a result of any action of the Administrative
Agent or Collateral Agent or a failure of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to take any action within its control, then
there shall be no Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such default shall continue unremedied for a period of ten (10)
consecutive Business Days after the earlier of (i) the Borrower becoming aware of such default and (ii) the Borrower’s receipt
of written notice of such default thereof from the Administrative Agent, unless, in each case, the continuance thereof is a result
of a failure of the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent to take an action within their control (and the Borrower has requested
that the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent take such action);

 

(p)          except
for expiration in accordance with its terms, any of the Security Documents shall for whatever reason be terminated or cease to

rights, titles, interest remedies, powers or privileges intended to be created thereby, or there shall be any actual invalidity
of any guaranty thereunder or any Obligor or any Affiliate of an Obligor shall so assert in writing; or

then, and in every such event (other than
an event described in clause (h),  (i) or (j) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of
such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any
or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments
shall terminate immediately; (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which
case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal
of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the
Borrower accrued hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event described in clause
(h),  (i) or (j) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding,
together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all
of which are hereby waived by the Borrower and (iii) without notice of default or demand, pursue and enforce any of the Administrative
Agent’s or the Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Document, or as otherwise provided under or pursuant to
any applicable law or agreement.

 

Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, on the CAM Exchange Date, to the extent not otherwise prohibited by law, (a) the Commitments
shall automatically and without further act be terminated, the Lenders shall automatically and without further act be deemed to
have exchanged interests in the Designated Obligations such that, in lieu of the interests of each Lender in the Designated Obligations
under each Loan in which it shall participate as of such date, such Lender shall own an interest equal to such Lender’s CAM
Percentage in the Designated Obligations under each of the Loans, whether or not such Lender shall previously have participated
therein, and (b) simultaneously with the deemed exchange of interests pursuant to clause (a) above, the interests in the Designated
Obligations to be received in such deemed exchange shall, automatically and with no further action required, be converted into
the Dollar Equivalent of such amount (as of the Business Day immediately prior to the CAM Exchange Date) and on and after such
date all amounts accruing and owed to the Lenders in respect of such Designated Obligations shall accrue and be payable in Dollars
at the rate otherwise applicable hereunder. Each Lender, each Person acquiring a participation from any Lender as contemplated
by Section 9.04 and the Borrower hereby consents and agrees to the CAM Exchange. It is understood and agreed that the CAM Exchange,
in itself, will not affect the aggregate amount of Designated Obligations owing by the Obligors. The Borrower and the Lenders agree
from time to time to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent all such promissory notes and other instruments and documents
as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence and confirm the respective interests and obligations of the Lenders
after giving effect to the CAM Exchange, and each Lender agrees to surrender any promissory notes originally received by it in
connection with its Loans hereunder to the Administrative Agent against delivery of any promissory notes so executed and delivered;
provided that the failure of the Borrower to execute or deliver or of any Lender to accept such promissory note, instrument
or document shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the CAM Exchange.

 

As a result of the
CAM Exchange, on and after the CAM Exchange Date, each payment received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any Loan Document
in respect of the Designated Obligations shall be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective CAM Percentages
(to be redetermined as of each such date of payment). Any direct payment received by a Lender on or after the CAM Exchange Date,
including by way of set-off, in respect of a Designated Obligation shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for distribution
to the Lenders in accordance herewith.

Article VIII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

Section 8.01.         Appointment.

 

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

 

(b)          Appointment
of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent is hereby confirmed and reaffirmed as having been appointed as the collateral
agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and in such capacity has been and is authorized to have all the rights and benefits
hereunder and thereunder (including Section 9 of the Guarantee and Security Agreement), and to take such actions on its
behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such
actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition to the rights, privileges and immunities in the Guarantee
and Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent has been and shall be entitled to all rights, privileges, immunities, exculpations
and indemnities of the Administrative Agent for such purpose and each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Article VIII
shall be deemed to include the Collateral Agent.

 

Section 8.02.         Capacity
as Lender. The Person serving as an Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document 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 an Agent, and such Person and
its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any other Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments
in and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not
an Agent hereunder, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower or any Subsidiary
or other Affiliate thereof for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same
to the other Lenders.

 

    	 	121	 

     

    

 

Section 8.03.         Limitation
of Duties; Exculpation. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) no Agent shall have any duty to take
any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except, solely in the case of the Administrative Agent, discretionary
rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise
upon receipt of and pursuant to specific instruction in writing to do so delivered by the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of Lenders as is expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative
Agent is not required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent
to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that
may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination
of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein and
in the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall any Agent be liable for the failure to disclose,
any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving
as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it 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 such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, including under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02
or Article VIII of this Agreement) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default
unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and no Agent shall be responsible
for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection
with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation,
perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Loan Documents or the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral
or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or therein, other than
to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

 

Section 8.04.         Reliance.
Each 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 or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person.
Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by or on behalf of
the proper Person or Persons, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent
may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary
from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each 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.

 

    	 	122	 

     

    

 

Section 8.05.         Sub-Agents.
Each Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed
by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through
their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and
to the Related Parties of any 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 an Agent. The Administrative Agent is not
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 non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the
selection of such sub-agents.

 

Section 8.06.         Resignation;
Successor Administrative Agent. Any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and, solely in the case of the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with, solely in the case of the Administrative
Agent, the consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld (provided that no such consent shall be required if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required
Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after any retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then,
solely with respect to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective
except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders 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 (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder and (2) the Required Lenders shall perform the duties of the Administrative Agent (and all payments
and communications provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly)
until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance
of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of such retiring (or retired) Agent and such retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Borrower
to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor. After any Agent’s resignation hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Article VIII and
Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was acting as an Agent. The Collateral Agent may resign in accordance with the Guarantee and Security Agreement.

 

Section 8.07.         Reliance
by Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender 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 also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender
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.

 

    	 	123	 

     

    

 

Section 8.08.         Modifications
to Loan Documents. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02(b) or 9.02(c) with respect to this
Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior consent of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of
Lenders as is expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) (but not otherwise), consent to any modification,
supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents; provided that, without the prior consent of each Lender, no Agent
shall (except as provided herein or in the Security Documents) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or otherwise
terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under any Security Document providing for collateral security, agree to additional
obligations being secured by all or substantially all of such collateral security, or alter the relative priorities of the obligations
entitled to the benefits of the Liens created under the Security Documents with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral,
except that no such consent shall be required, and each Agent is hereby authorized, to release any Lien covering property that
is the subject of either a disposition of property permitted hereunder or a disposition to which the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of Lenders as is expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) have consented.

 

Section 8.09.         Indemnification
by Lenders. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender
an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.14(a) or (c), each Lender
shall, and does hereby, agree severally to indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payable in respect thereof within
10 days after demand therefor, (i) against any and all Taxes attributable to such Lender and any and all related losses, claims,
liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) in each case
attributable to such Lender (collectively, solely for the purposes of this paragraph, “Tax Damages”) incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result
of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for
any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to
notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax
ineffective) (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and
Tax Damages and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.14(c)),
and (ii) Tax Damages attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04 relating to the
maintenance of a Participant Register. 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document against
any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation
and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination
of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations.

Matters. (a) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08 or with respect to a Secured
Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to
realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and
Security Agreement), it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised
solely by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.

 

(b)          In
furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in respect of any Hedging Agreement, the obligations
under which constitute Hedging Agreement Obligations, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is
a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Obligor
under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such arrangement
in respect of Hedging Agreements shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to serve as administrative
agent and collateral agent, respectively, under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party
thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

 

(c)          Neither
the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation
or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative
Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Obligor in connection therewith,
nor shall the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for
any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

 

    	 	126	 

     

    

 

(d)          Without
limiting the provisions of Section 8.13, any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any
Loan Document shall be automatically released, and the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to take any action
with respect to such release: (a) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations); (b) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of
or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document; or (c) subject to
Section 9.02, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage
of Lenders as is expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents). Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any
time, the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as is expressly provided for herein (including, without
limitation, Section 9.02) or in the other Loan Documents) will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority
to release its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 8.11.

 

Section 8.13.         Third
Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and no Obligor
will have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

 

Section 8.14.         Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective
of whether the principal of any Loan will then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective
of whether the Administrative Agent has made any demand on the Borrower) will be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a)          to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured
Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties under Section 2.09 and otherwise
hereunder) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

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

 

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

 

    	 	127	 

     

    

 

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

 

Section 8.15.         Credit
Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders,
to credit bid all or any portion of the Secured Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction
of some or all of the Secured Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase
(either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted
under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar
laws in any other jurisdictions to which an Obligor is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral
in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or
otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Secured Obligations
owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Collateral Agent at the direction of the
Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Secured Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent
interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional
to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets
so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection
with such purchase). In connection with any such bid, (i) the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition
vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, (ii) each of the Secured Parties’
ratable interests in the Secured Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement
to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the Collateral Agent shall be authorized
to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Collateral
Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof,
shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required
Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition
vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations
on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Collateral Agent on behalf of such
acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant
Secured Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership, limited partnership interests or membership
interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for
any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Secured Obligations that are assigned
to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better,
because the amount of Secured Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Secured Obligations credit
bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Secured Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties
pro rata with their original interest in such Secured Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any
acquisition vehicle on account of such Secured Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured
Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Secured Obligations
of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured
Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured
Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation
of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

(iii)       if
to any other Lender, to it at its address (or telecopy number) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire.

 

Any party hereto may
change its address or telecopy number or e-mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties
hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall
be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt. Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided
in paragraph (b) below, shall be effective as provided in said paragraph (b).

 

    	 	130	 

     

    

 

(b)          Electronic
Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication
(including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided
that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.03 if such Lender has notified the Administrative
Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or
the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications
pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications.

 

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.

 

(c)          Posting
of Communications.

 

(i)          For
so long as a DebtdomainTM or equivalent website is available to each of the Lenders hereunder, the Borrower may satisfy its
obligation to deliver documents to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under Section 5.01 by delivering either
an electronic copy or a notice identifying the website where such information is located for posting by the Administrative Agent
on DebtdomainTM or such equivalent website (and, at the request of the Administrative Agent, one hard copy thereof to the
Administrative Agent); provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to maintain access to DebtdomainTM
or an equivalent website.

 

(ii)         The
Obligors agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders
by posting the Communications on IntraLinksTM, DebtdomainTM, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen
by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

 

(iii)        Although
the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies
implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Restatement Effective Date, a user
ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby
each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and each of the Obligors
acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative
Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved
Electronic Platform, and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders
and each Obligor hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and
assumes the risks of such distribution.

 

    	 	131	 

     

    

 

(iv)         THE
APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE
PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC
PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION
WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LEAD ARRANGER OR ANY
OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY OBLIGOR, ANY LENDER
OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY OBLIGOR’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S
TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, EXCEPT FOR DIRECT DAMAGES THAT A COURT
OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION DETERMINES IN A FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ACTED WITH GROSS NEGLIGENCE
OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT IN THE SELECTION OF SUCH SUB-AGENTS.

 

“Communications”
means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any
Obligor pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.

 

(v)          Each
Lender and Administrative Agent agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have
been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender and Administrative
Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be
in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s email address to which the foregoing notice may
be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.

 

    	 	132	 

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

Section 9.02.         Waivers;
Amendments.

 

(a)          No
Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right
or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any
abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative
and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph
(b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any
Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

 

(b)          Amendments
to this Agreement. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an
agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, subject to Section 2.16(b), no such agreement shall

 

(i)          increase
the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender,

 

(ii)         reduce
the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

 

(iii)        postpone
the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable
to a Lender hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration
of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (other than any waiver of the default rate
of interest),

 

(iv)         change
Section 2.15(b), (c) or (d) (or other sections referred to therein to the extent relating to pro
rata payments) in a manner that would alter the pro rata reduction of commitments, sharing of payments, or making of disbursements,
required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,

 

    	 	133	 

     

    

 

(v)          change
any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any
other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or
make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender,

 

(vi)         change
any of the provisions of the definition of the term “Agreed Foreign Currency” or any other provision hereof specifying
the Foreign Currencies in which each Multicurrency Lender must make Multicurrency Loans, or make any determination or grant any
consent hereunder with respect to the definition of “Agreed Foreign Currencies” without the written consent of each
Multicurrency Lender, or

 

(vii)        permit
the assignment or transfer by any Obligor of any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the written consent
of each Lender;

 

provided further that (x) no
such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent hereunder without the prior written consent
of such affected Agent, and (y) the consent of Lenders holding not less than two-thirds of the total Revolving Credit Exposures
and unused Commitments will be required for (A) any change adverse to the Lenders affecting the provisions of this Agreement
relating to the Borrowing Base (including the definitions used therein), or the provisions of Section 5.12(b)(ii),
and (B) any release of any material portion of the Collateral other than for fair value or as otherwise permitted hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no waiver or modification of any provision
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Lenders of any Class in
a manner that does not affect all Classes in the same manner shall be effective against the Lenders of such Class unless the Required
Lenders of such Class shall have concurred with such waiver, amendment or modification as provided above; provided, however,
for the avoidance of doubt, in no other circumstances shall the concurrence of the Required Lenders of a particular Class be required
for any waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

For purposes of this
Section, the “scheduled date of payment” of any amount shall refer to the date of payment of such amount specified
in this Agreement, and shall not refer to a date or other event specified for the mandatory or optional prepayment of such amount.
In addition, whenever a waiver, amendment or modification requires the consent of a Lender “affected” thereby, such
waiver, amendment or modification shall, upon consent of such Lender, become effective as to such Lender whether or not it becomes
effective as to any other Lender, so long as the Required Lenders consent to such waiver, amendment or modification as provided
above.

 

    	 	134	 

     

    

 

(c)          Amendments
to Security Documents.  No Security Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified, except to the
extent otherwise expressly contemplated by the Guarantee and Security Agreement or the Custodian Agreement, as applicable, and
the Liens granted under the Guarantee and Security Agreement may not be spread to secure any additional obligations (including
any increase in Loans hereunder, but excluding (i) any such increase pursuant to a Commitment Increase under Section 2.06(f) to
an amount not greater than the amount specified in Section 2.06(f)(i)(B)(x) and (ii) any Secured Longer-Term Indebtedness permitted
hereunder) except to the extent otherwise expressly contemplated by the Guarantee and Security Agreement and except pursuant
to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, and by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Required
Lenders; provided that, subject to Section 2.16(b), (i) without the written consent of the holders of at least two-thirds
of the total Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments, no such waiver, amendment or modification to the Guarantee and
Security Agreement shall (A) release any Obligor representing more than 10% of the Total Net Assets of the Borrower from its obligations
under the Security Documents, (B) release any guarantor representing more than 10% of the Total Net Assets of the Borrower under
the Guarantee and Security Agreement from its guarantee obligations thereunder, or (C) amend the definition of “Collateral”
under the Security Documents (except to add additional collateral) and (ii) without the written consent of each Lender, no
such agreement shall (W) release all or substantially all of the Obligors from their respective obligations under the Security
Documents, (X) release all or substantially all of the collateral security or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the
Liens under the Security Documents, (Y) release all or substantially all of the guarantors under the Guarantee and Security Agreement
from their guarantee obligations thereunder, or (Z) alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the Liens created
under the Security Documents (except in connection with securing additional obligations equally and ratably with the Loans and
other obligations hereunder) with respect to the collateral security provided thereby; except that no such consent described
in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized (and so agrees with the Borrower) to
direct the Collateral Agent under the Guarantee and Security Agreement, to release any Lien covering property (and to release any
such guarantor) that is the subject of either a disposition of property permitted hereunder or a disposition to which the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as is expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents)
have consented, or otherwise in accordance with Section 9.15.

 

(d)          Replacement
of Non-Consenting Lender. If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring (i) the consent of “each
Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” or (ii) the consent of “two-thirds of the holders of the total
Revolving Credit Exposures and unused Commitments”, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other
necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting
Lender”), then the Borrower shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to replace each such Non-Consenting Lender
or Lenders with one or more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.17(b) so long as at the time of such replacement, each such
replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination.

 

    	 	135	 

     

    

 

(e)          Ambiguity,
Omission, Mistake or Typographical Error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower acting
together identify any ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error or other defect in any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document that, without correction, would materially affect the intent of such provision, would cause more credit to
be available to the Borrower or would adversely affect the Lenders in any way; provided that any amendment that would require the
consents set forth in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 9.02(b) or the proviso thereto shall be material
for purposes of this Section 9.02(e), 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; provided that the Administrative
Agent shall promptly provide each Lender with a copy of such amendment.

 

Section 9.03.         Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

 

(a)          Costs
and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable documented and out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred
by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and their Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements
of up to one firm of outside counsel (plus any necessary special or local outside counsel in each jurisdiction where the nature
of the Collateral requires such additional counsel and, solely in the case of an actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest,
one additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction to the affected Persons) for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent collectively (other than the allocated costs of internal counsel), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities
provided for herein, the preparation and administration (other than internal overhead charges) of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and 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 out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made, including all such out-of-pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect thereof and (iii) and all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection
of any security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein.

 

(b)          Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each 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 (other than Taxes or Other Taxes which shall only be indemnified
by the Borrower to the extent provided in Section 2.14), including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for any Indemnitee (other than the allocated costs of internal counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation
of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom or (iii)
any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract,
tort or any other theory and whether brought by the Borrower, any Indemnitee or a third party and regardless of whether any Indemnitee
is a party thereto IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY
OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee.

 

    	 	136	 

     

    

 

The Borrower shall not
be liable to any Indemnitee for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages
(other than in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party)) arising out of, in connection with,
or as a result of the Transactions asserted by an Indemnitee against the Borrower or any other Obligor; provided that the foregoing
limitation shall not be deemed to impair or affect the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding provisions of this subsection.

 

(c)          Reimbursement
by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to any Agent under paragraph
(a) or (b) of this Section (and without limiting its obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such
Agent, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (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 such Agent in its capacity
as such or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for any Agent (or any sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.

 

(d)          Waiver
of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each
hereby waives, any claim against any other party to this Agreement on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential
or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement
or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No party to
this Agreement 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, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct
or gross negligence of such Person, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

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

 

    	 	137	 

     

    

 

(f)          No
Fiduciary Relationship. Each Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes
of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, their equityholders and/or their affiliates. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, agrees
that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary
or other implied duty between the Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, its equityholders or its
Affiliates, on the other. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries each acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated
by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial
transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the other, and (ii) in connection
therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, no Lender
has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, any of their equityholders
or affiliates (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, their equityholders or their affiliates on other matters) and (y) each Lender is acting hereunder solely as principal
and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, their management, equityholders, creditors or any
other Person. The Borrower and each Obligor each acknowledge and agree that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors
to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions
and the process leading thereto. The Borrower and each Obligor each agree that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory
services hereunder of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary duty to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case,
in connection with such transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto.

 

Section 9.04.         Successors
and Assigns.

 

(a)          Assignments
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 (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the
Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights
or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Lender which is
not in accordance with this Section shall be treated as provided in the last sentence of Section 9.04(b)(iii)). 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 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)          Assignments
by Lenders.

 

(i)          Assignments
Generally. Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (ii) below, any Lender may 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) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of:

 

    	 	138	 

     

    

 

(A)         the
Borrower, provided that (i) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender,
or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee, and (ii) 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 written notice thereof; and

 

(B)         the
Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment by a Lender
to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender with prior written notice by such assigning Lender to the Administrative Agent.

 

(ii)         Certain
Conditions to Assignments. Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

 

(A)         except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment or Loans of a Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of such Class of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to
the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise
consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(B)         each
partial assignment of any Class of Commitments or Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of such Class of Commitments and Loans;

 

(C)         the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption in substantially
the form of Exhibit A hereto, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee shall not be payable
in connection with an assignment to a Lender or to an Affiliate of a Lender), for which the Borrower and the Guarantors shall not
be obligated (except in the case of an assignment pursuant to Section 2.17(b)); and

 

(D)         the
assignee, if it shall not already be a Lender of the applicable Class, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire.

 

(iii)        Effectiveness
of Assignments. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after
the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and
the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from
its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring
prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from
that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section.

 

    	 	139	 

     

    

 

(c)          Maintenance
of Registers by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of
the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to
it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount and
stated interest of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Registers”
and each individually, a “Register”). The entries in the Registers shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Registers pursuant to the terms hereof
as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Registers shall be available
for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)          Acceptance
of Assignments by Administrative Agent. Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender
hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to
such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption
and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless
it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

 

(e)          Special
Purposes Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”)
may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) owned or administered by such Granting Lender, identified
as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide
all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make; provided that (i) nothing
herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPC, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise
fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, make such Loan
pursuant to the terms hereof, (iii) the rights of any such SPC shall be derivative of the rights of the Granting Lender, and
such SPC shall be subject to all of the restrictions upon the Granting Lender herein contained, and (iv) no SPC shall be entitled
to the benefits of Sections 2.12 (or any other increased costs protection provision), 2.13 or 2.14. Each SPC shall be conclusively
presumed to have made arrangements with its Granting Lender for the exercise of voting and other rights hereunder in a manner which
is acceptable to the SPC, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, and each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the Obligors shall be entitled to rely upon and deal solely with the Granting Lender with respect to Loans made by or through
its SPC. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as
if, such Loan were made by the Granting Lender.

 

    	 	140	 

     

    

 

Each party hereto hereby
agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one
day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other
person in instituting against, such SPC, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or
similar proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, in respect of claims arising out of this Agreement;
provided that the Granting Lender for each SPC hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto
for any loss, cost, damage and expense arising out of their inability to institute any such proceeding against its SPC. In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, any SPC may (i) without the prior written consent of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests
in any Loans to its Granting Lender or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the
account of such SPC to fund the Loans made by such SPC or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such
Loans (but nothing contained herein shall be construed in derogation of the obligation of the Granting Lender to make Loans hereunder);
provided that neither the consent of the SPC or of any such assignee shall be required for amendments or waivers hereunder
except for those amendments or waivers for which the consent of participants is required under paragraph (f) below, and (ii) disclose
on a confidential basis (in the same manner described in Section 9.13(b)) any non-public information relating to its
Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such
SPC.

 

(f)          Participations.
Any Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion
of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents 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 and the other Lenders shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents. 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 the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification
or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described
in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (g) of this Section,
the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14
(subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including Sections 2.14(f) and (g) (it being understood that
the documentation required under Sections 2.14(f) and (g) 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 paragraph (b) of this Section;
provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.17 as if it were an assignee under paragraph
(b) of this Section 9.04. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to
use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.17 with respect to any Participant.
To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it
were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15(d) as though it were a Lender hereunder.
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain
a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts and stated interest of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (each a “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 each 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
the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

 

    	 	141	 

     

    

 

(g)          Limitations
on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.13
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would
be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 unless such Participant agrees
to comply with Section 2.14(f) as though it were a Lender (it being understood that that the documentation required under
Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).

 

(h)          Certain
Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank
having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;
provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder
or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

(i)          No
Assignments or Participations to the Borrower or Affiliates or Certain Other Persons. Anything in this Section to the
contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may (i) assign or participate any interest in any Commitment or Loan held by it hereunder
to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries without the prior consent of each Lender, or (ii) assign any interest
in any Commitment or Loan held by it hereunder to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned
and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person) or to any Person known by such Lender at the time of such assignment
to be a Defaulting Lender, a Subsidiary of a Defaulting Lender or a Person who, upon consummation of such assignment would be a
Defaulting Lender.

 

    	 	142	 

     

    

 

(j)          Multicurrency
Lenders. Any assignment by a Multicurrency Lender, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, must be to
a Person that is able to fund and receive payments on account of each outstanding Agreed Foreign Currency at such time without
the need to obtain any authorization referred to in clause (c) of the definition of “Agreed Foreign Currency.”

 

Section 9.05.         Survival.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto
and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made
by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force
and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement
is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12,
2.13, 2.14 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless
of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the
Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

 

Section 9.06.         Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.

 

(a)          Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute
the entire contract between and 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. Except as provided in Section 4.01, 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 which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopy or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

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

 

    	 	143	 

     

    

 

Section 9.07.         Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate
such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 9.08.         Right
of Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time
and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Obligor, any such notice being waived by the Borrower
(on its own behalf, on behalf of its Subsidiaries and on behalf of each Obligor) to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set
off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any of and
all the obligations of any Obligor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document held by such
Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured, or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different
from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness; provided that such Lender
shall not exercise any right of setoff given in this Section 9.08 without obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of setoff) which such Lender may have; provided that in the event any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of
setoff, (a) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.15 and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other
funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (b) the Defaulting Lender will
provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting
Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off
and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application.

 

Section 9.09.         Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

 

(a)          Governing
Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State
of New York.

 

    	 	144	 

     

    

 

(b)          Submission
to Jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County 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 Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of
the parties hereto hereby 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 or, to the extent permitted by 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 shall affect any right that the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

 

(c)          Waiver
of Venue. The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively
do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action
or proceeding in any such court.

 

(d)          Service
of Process. Each party to this Agreement (i) irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices
in Section 9.01 and (ii) agrees that service as provided in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01 is sufficient
to confer personal jurisdiction over such party in any proceeding in any court and otherwise constitutes effective and binding
service in every respect. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law.

 

Section 9.10.         WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO
A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED
TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

 

    	 	145	 

     

    

 

Section 9.11.  Judgment
Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Foreign Currency, as the
case may be (the “Specified Currency”) and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency
(the “Specified Place”) is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all
events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. Subject to Section 2.15(a), the payment obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant
to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the
Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency in the Specified Place due
hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified
Currency into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be
the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency
with the Other Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Borrower
in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in
this Section called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied
in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person
of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Other Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures
purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Other Currency so adjudged to be due;
and the Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person
against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally
due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and
transferred.

(a)       Treatment
of Certain Information. The Borrower 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 Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by
any Agent or Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Agent or Lender and the Borrower hereby authorizes each
Agent and Lender to share any information delivered to such Agent or Lender by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this
Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Agent or Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate,
it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph
(b) of this Section as if it were an Agent or Lender (as applicable) hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the
repayment of the Loan, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender”),
may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and/or their Affiliates.

 

    	 	146	 

     

    

 

(b)       Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below),
except that Information may be disclosed (a) 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), (b) to
the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory
authority), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to
any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action
or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject
to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant
in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual
or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations,
or (iii) any insurer, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) on a confidential basis to (i) any insurer, (ii) any
rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Loans and (iii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any
similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans, (i) to the extent
such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source
other than the Borrower or (j) in connection with the Lenders’ right to grant a security interest pursuant to Section
9.04(h) to the Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank, or subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially
the same as those of this Section, to any other pledgee or assignee pursuant to Section 9.04(h).

 

For purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
or any of their respective businesses (including, without limitation, any Portfolio Investments), other than any such information
that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after
the Original Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required
to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation
to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person
would accord to its own confidential information.

 

Section 9.14.
USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Obligors that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor, which information includes the name and
address of each Obligor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Obligor in accordance with said
Act. The Obligors 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 USA PATRIOT
Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

 

Section 9.15.Termination.
Promptly upon the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Collateral Agent to, on behalf of the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, deliver to Borrower such termination statements and releases and other documents
necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and each of the documents securing
the obligations hereunder as the Borrower may reasonably request, all at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

 

    	 	147	 

     

    

 

Section 9.16.Amendment
and Restatement.

 

(a)       On
the Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement,
and the Existing Credit Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and effect, except to evidence (i) the incurrence by
the Borrower of the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement (whether or not such obligations are contingent as of the Restatement
Effective Date), (ii) the representations and warranties made by the Borrower prior to the Restatement Effective Date and (iii)
any action or omission performed or required to be performed pursuant to such Existing Credit Agreement prior to the Restatement
Effective Date (including any failure, prior to the Restatement Effective Date, to comply with the covenants contained in such
Existing Credit Agreement). The amendments and restatements set forth herein shall not cure any breach thereof or any “Default”
or “Event of Default” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement prior to the Restatement Effective Date.

 

(b)       It
is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the Existing Credit Agreement be amended and restated hereunder so as to preserve
the perfection and priority of all Liens securing the “Secured Obligations” under the Loan Documents and that all “Secured
Obligations” of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall continue to be secured by Liens evidenced under
the Security Documents, and that this Agreement does not in any way constitute a novation or termination of the Indebtedness, obligations
and liabilities existing under the Existing Credit Agreement or evidence payment of all or any portion of such obligations and
liabilities.

 

(c)       The
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights and remedies under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall apply to all of the obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement.

 

(d)       On
and after the Restatement Effective Date, (i) all references to the Existing Credit Agreement in the Loan Documents (other than
this Agreement) shall be deemed to refer to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, (ii) all references
to any Article, Section or sub-clause of the Existing Credit Agreement in any Loan Document (other than this Agreement) shall be
deemed to be references to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement and (iii) except as the context otherwise provides, on
or after the Restatement Effective Date, all references to this Agreement herein (including for purposes of indemnification and
reimbursement of fees) shall be deemed to be references to the Existing Credit Agreement, as amended and restated hereby.

 

(e)       This
amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a consent to any other amendment, restatement or waiver, whether or
not similar and, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents
remain in full force and effect unless otherwise specifically amended hereby or by any other Loan Document.

 

    	 	148	 

     

    

 

Section 9.17.Acknowledgment
and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in
any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of
any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the
write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be
bound by:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iii)       the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution
Authority.

 

Section 9.18.Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be
paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the
excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower.
In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum
Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an
expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize,
prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations
hereunder.

 

Section 9.19.Release.
The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (a) neither it nor any of its Affiliates has any claim or cause of action against
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees,
attorneys, consultants or agents) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and each other document entered into in connection
therewith), and (b) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender has heretofore properly performed and satisfied
in a timely manner all of its obligations to the Obligors and their Affiliates under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(and each other document entered into in connection therewith) that are required to have been performed on or prior to the Transactions
on the date hereof. Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable
consideration, the Borrower (for itself and its Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the
foregoing) (collectively, the “Releasors”) does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release
and forever discharge the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and
all debts, claims, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys’ fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes
of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description,
and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise, which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter
can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done
on or prior to the Transactions on the date hereof directly arising out of, connected with or related to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document (or any other document entered into in connection therewith).

Foreign Issuer if any Obligor does not qualify for zero withholding for loans made to such Permitted Foreign Issuer;

 

    	 		 

     

    

 

		14)	Such Portfolio Investment, if a debt investment, bears interest which is due and payable no less
frequently than semi-annually and provides for a fixed amount of principal payable on a scheduled payment date and or at maturity
and does not have a final maturity greater than 10 years;

 

		15)	Such Portfolio Investment includes a contractual provision requiring all payments to be made without

 “Real Estate LTV Transactions”), (1) the Borrower has received a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (and, if such
Phase I Environmental Site Assessment recommends that testing or sampling be performed, a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment)
confirming that the underlying real estate has no currently recognized environmental conditions or documenting that any identified
recognized environmental conditions either would not have a material adverse effect on the condition, use and value of the property
or that no further action, including investigation or remediation, is required by applicable law and any regulatory authority with
jurisdiction with respect to such recognized environmental condition, (2) the Borrower has received an appraisal as of a recent
date on or prior to the date of its initial investment and (3) the loan to fair market value (determined pursuant to the most recent

		17)	Such Portfolio Investment does not represent a consumer obligation (including, without limitation,
a mortgage loan, auto loan, credit card loan or personal loan);

 

		18)	No payment in respect of such Portfolio Investment, if a debt investment, is subject to withholding
in respect to taxes of any nature, unless the issuer is required to make customary and market-based gross-up payments on an after
tax basis for the full amount of such tax;

 

		19)	Such Portfolio Investment is not a derivative instrument;

 

		20)	The issuer of such Portfolio Investment (or an agent on its behalf) is required to make payments
directly into an account of the Borrower or any Obligor over which the Collateral Agent has “control” and no other
person’s assets are commingled in such account;

 

		21)	No Person acting as administrative agent, collateral agent or in a similar capacity shall be an
Affiliate of the Borrower unless such person is an Obligor; and,

 

		22)	If such Portfolio Investment for which market quotations are not readily available is a Bank Loan
and the issuer of such Portfolio Investment has issued a Permitted Prior Working Capital Lien, the Borrower has delivered to the
Administrative Agent a written valuation report of an Approved Third-Party Appraiser determining the enterprise value of such issuer
to be used for purposes of the conditions outlined in clause (iii) of the definition of Permitted Prior Working Capital Lien (except
that, prior to the delivery of the first valuation report of the Approved Third-Party Appraiser to be delivered after the Borrower’s
acquisition of such Portfolio Investment, the enterprise value of such issuer of such Portfolio Investment may be calculated by
the Borrower in a commercially reasonable manner).

 

For purposes of paragraph (5)
above, “Transferable” means, in the case of any Portfolio Investment, both that:

 

(i)       the
applicable Obligor may create a security interest in or pledge all of its rights under and interest in such Portfolio Investment
to secure its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and that such pledge or security interest may be enforced
in any manner permitted under applicable law; and

 

(ii)       such
Portfolio Investment (and all documents related thereto) contains no provision that directly or indirectly restricts the assignment

BARRETT BUSINESS SERVICES, INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED

ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

 

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN (the "Plan") was initially adopted by Barrett Business Services, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("Corporation"), effective March 7, 2014, and amended and restated effective February 25, 2019, for awards made in 2019 and thereafter.  Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Section 6.

SECTION 1.
PURPOSE

The purpose of the Plan is to attract and retain capable executives, to motivate selected key employees of the Corporation to attain and maintain high standards of performance, and to encourage executives to achieve specific business goals established by the Corporation.

SECTION 2.
ELIGIBILITY

Any key executive of the Corporation who is designated by the Committee as being eligible to participate in the Plan will be eligible to participate in the Plan.

SECTION 3.
INCENTIVE AWARDS

3.1Target Award.  Each Award opportunity will specify a targeted incentive opportunity (the "Target Award") expressed either as a dollar amount or as a percentage of a Participant's regular annualized base salary.

3.2Incentive Awards.  The amount paid for each Award will be equal to the product of the Total Success Percentage for the Participant for the Plan Year multiplied by the Participant’s Target Award for the Plan Year.  However, in no event may a Participant's Award payment for a Plan Year exceed the lesser of (i) 200 percent of the Participant's Target Award, or (ii) $2,000,000.

3.3Performance Goals.  The Committee may establish performance Goal(s) applicable to each Award.  

3.4Weighting of Goals.  Each Goal will be weighted with a Weighting Percentage so that the total Weighting Percentages for all Goals used to determine a Participant's Award is 100 percent.

3.5Achievement Percentage.  Each Goal will also specify the Achievement Percentages (ranging from 0 to 200 percent) to be used in computing the payment of an Award based upon the extent to which the particular Goal is achieved.  Achievement Percentages for a particular Goal may be based on:

(a)An "all or nothing" measure that provides for a specified Achievement Percentage if the Goal is met, and a zero Achievement Percentage if the Goal is not met;

(b)Several levels of performance or achievement (such as a threshold level, a target level, and a maximum level) that each correspond to a specified Achievement Percentage; or

(c)Continuous or numerical measures that define a sliding scale of Achievement Percentages.

3.6Computation of Awards.  As soon as possible after the completion of each Plan Year, a computation will be made for each Participant of:

(a)The extent to which Goals were achieved and the corresponding Achievement Percentages for each Goal:

(b)A Weighted Achievement Percentage for each Goal equal to the product of the Achievement Percentage and the Weighting Percentage for that Goal;

(c)The Total Success Percentage equal to the sum of all the Weighted Achievement Percentages for all the Participant's Goals; and

(d)An Award amount equal to the product of the Total Success Percentage and the Participant's Target Award.

3.7Right to Receive Award.  A Participant must continue Employment with Corporation through the date an Award is paid (the "Payment Date") in order to be entitled to receive the Award. Awards may be subject to such additional requirements regarding length of employment as may be specifically approved by the Committee. If a Participant terminates Employment with Corporation before the Payment Date for a reason other than death or Disability, the Participant will not be entitled to any Award for the Plan Year.  If a Participant terminates Employment with Corporation before the Payment Date due to death or Disability, the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary or estate may be entitled to receive a prorated Award, as finally determined under the Plan.  

3.8Payment of Awards.  Each Participant's Award will be paid in cash in a lump sum within 30 days after the amount of the Award has been determined, and in no case later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year in which the Award is no longer subject to substantial risk of forfeiture as that term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(d).  Payment of any Award may be made subject to such additional restrictions or limitations, in addition to those related to the attainment of performance Goals, as may be expressly provided for by the Committee and made applicable to such Award.  As permitted by the Committee, a Participant may, in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, voluntarily defer receipt of an Award under the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan.

SECTION 4.
ADMINISTRATION

The Plan will be administered by the Committee.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee is authorized, in its sole discretion, to: select Employees who will be granted Awards; approve the Target Awards for all Participants; approve Goals and Achievement Percentages for the Goals; construe and interpret the Plan and any Award; and make any other determinations that it believes necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.  

SECTION 5.
MISCELLANEOUS

5.1Nonassignability of Benefits.  A Participant's benefits under the Plan cannot be sold, transferred, anticipated, assigned, pledged, hypothecated, seized by legal process, subjected to claims of creditors in any way, or otherwise disposed of.

5.2No Right of Continued Employment.  Nothing in the Plan will confer upon any Participant the right to continued Employment with Corporation or interfere in any way with the right of Corporation to terminate the person's Employment at any time.

5.3Withholding.  The Corporation will withhold from any payment under the Plan any amount required to satisfy applicable tax and other legally or contractually required withholdings.

5.4Code Section 409A.  This Plan is intended to be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code by reason of all payments under this Plan being "short-term deferrals" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), and all provisions of this Plan shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with preserving this exemption.

5.5Clawback. In the event that there is a subsequent change in the Corporation's audited financial statements that affects the extent to which Goals were satisfied, a Participant will be required to repay to the Corporation any amount that was previously paid to the Participant to the extent that a given Achievement Percentage previously determined by the Committee was not, after such change, achieved.  Compensation paid to a Participant pursuant to an Award under this Plan will also be subject to recoupment, to the extent the amount to be recovered would be greater, in accordance with any clawback policy of the Corporation in effect from time to time, as well as any similar requirement of applicable law, including without limitation the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and rules adopted by a governmental agency or applicable securities exchange under any such law.

5.6Amendments and Termination.  The Committee has the power to terminate or to amend this Plan at any time and in any manner that it may deem advisable, provided that the termination or amendment of the Plan will not adversely affect the rights of a Participant under an Award granted under the Plan.
