assignment to the applicable Trustee, and to its successors in trust, and its and their assigns, of all of such Issuer’s
rights and remedies under the applicable Loan Agreement and Related First Mortgage Bonds, the Company shall (i) make, as Loan Payments
to the applicable Trustee for the account of the Issuer, payments on each series of Related First Mortgage Bonds on each Loan Payment
Date which correspond, as to time, and are equal in amount, to the Bond Service Charges payable on the applicable Series of Bonds,
and (ii) pay to the applicable Trustee for the account of the Issuer a principal payment under the applicable Related First Mortgage
Bonds equal to the applicable Purchase Price of the Bonds tendered for purchase pursuant to the terms of the applicable Indenture.

 

(b)Payments
Under this Agreement and Fee Letter. The Company hereby unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely agrees to make prompt and
full payment of all payment obligations owed to the Lenders hereunder and under the Fee Letter, with interest thereon at the applicable
rate or rates provided herein or therein.

 

(c)Stamp Taxes.
If at any time any Governmental Authority shall require revenue or other documentary stamps or any other tax in connection with
the execution or delivery of this Agreement or other Related Documents, then, if the Company lawfully may pay for such stamps,
taxes or fees, the Company shall pay, when due and payable, for all such stamps, taxes and fees, including interest and penalties
thereon, and the Company agrees to save each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting
from

 

    	-20-

    	 

    

any delay of Company in paying,
or omission of Company to pay, such stamps, taxes and fees hereunder.

 

(d)Increased
Payments.

 

(1)If
any Change in Law shall (i) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement
against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by,
or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of a Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR or (ii) 
impose any other condition on such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender by an
amount that such Lender deems to be material, of holding Bonds, or to reduce any amount received or receivable in respect thereof
(whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay such Lender upon its
demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any
Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Company in writing (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided that the Company shall
not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than three months prior to the
date that such Lender notifies the Company of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further
that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such period for which the Company shall be
required to compensate the Lenders shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

 

(2)If
any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements shall have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender
could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect
to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender
to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Company shall pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided that the Company shall not be required
to compensate a Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than four months prior to the date that such Lender
notifies the Company of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided further that, if the circumstances
giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such period for which the Company shall be required to compensate the
Lenders shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

 

(3)Each
Lender will promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the
date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) and will designate a different lending
office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of
such Lender,

 

    	-21-

    	 

    

be otherwise disadvantageous to
such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 3.01(d) and setting forth the additional amount
or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender
may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

 

(4)The
Company shall be permitted to replace any Lender that requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to this Section 3.01(d),
in each case with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement
of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to
any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 3.01(d)(3) so as to eliminate the continued need for
payment of amounts owing pursuant to this Section 3.01(d), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par plus
accrued and unpaid interest, all Bonds and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement,
(v) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Company shall pay to the Lender being replaced all additional
amounts (if any) required pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of
any rights that the Company, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. If any circumstances
arise which result, or such Lender becomes aware of any circumstances which are expected to result, in the Company having to make
such compensation or indemnification, such Lender shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Company thereof and,
in consultation with the Company, such Lender shall take all steps, if any, it determines are reasonable and the Company determines
are acceptable to mitigate the effect of those circumstances; provided that no delay or failure by any Lender to provide any such
notice shall affect the obligations of the Company hereunder.

 

(5)The
Administrative Agent shall only give notice of a determination that LIBOR does not accurately and fairly reflect the Lenders’
costs of funds as contemplated by Section 2.03(f)(ii) of the applicable Indenture if the Required Lenders have made such determination
and directed the Administrative Agent to give such notice.

 

3.02.Event of
Taxability. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Taxability the Company shall, immediately upon demand, pay to the Lenders (or
prior Lenders, if applicable) (i) an additional amount equal to the difference between (A) the amount of interest actually paid
on the Bonds during the Taxable Period and (B) the amount of interest that would have been paid during the Taxable Period had the
Bonds borne interest at the Taxable Rate, and (ii) an amount equal to any interest, penalties and additions to tax (as referred
to in Subchapter A of Chapter 68 of the Code) owed by any Lender as a result of the Event of Taxability. This obligation shall
survive payment on Bonds until such time as the federal statute of limitations under which the interest on the bonds could be declared
taxable under the Code shall have expired.

 

3.03.Default Interest.
In the event any Obligation due hereunder is not paid when due, such Obligation shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid
in full, which shall be payable by the Company to the related Lenders upon demand therefor.

 

    	-22-

    	 

    

3.04.FACTA. If a
payment made to a Lender hereunder or pursuant to any Bond 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 Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation
prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation
reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent
to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations
under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. “FATCA” means Sections 1471 through
1474 of the Code, as of the date of this Agreement, any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any
agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code, any intergovernmental agreement entered into with the United
States in connection with the implementation of FATCA and any fiscal or regulatory legislation or rules adopted by a Governmental
Authority implementing such an intergovernmental agreement, to determine that such recipient has or has not complied with such
recipient’s obligations thereunder.

5.06.Litigation.
There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, at law, in
equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that (i) question
the validity or the enforceability of the Related Documents, or any of any action to be taken by the Company pursuant to any of
the Related Documents, or (ii) either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. No action, suit, proceeding or investigation has been instituted, or to the knowledge of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
threatened, and no rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree has been issued or proposed to be issued by any Governmental Authority
that, solely as a result of the incurrence of Obligations or the entering into this Agreement or any other Related Document or
any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, would cause or deem the Administrative Agent, any Lenders or any of their respective
Affiliates to be subject to, or not exempted from, regulation under the FPA.

 

5.07.No Default.
The Company and each Subsidiary are in full compliance with all material terms, covenants and conditions of each of its Contractual
Obligations, except for any noncompliance that could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have

contemplated by this Agreement or any other Related Document.

 

5.08.Ownership

to the extent that any such failure to comply (together with any resulting penalties, fines or forfeitures) would not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All licenses, permits, registrations or approvals required for the conduct of the
business of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law have been secured and the Company and each of
its Subsidiaries is in substantial compliance therewith, except for such licenses, permits, registrations or approvals the failure
to secure or to comply therewith is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries has received written notice, or otherwise knows, that it is in any respect in noncompliance with, breach of or default
under any applicable writ, order, judgment, injunction, or decree to which the Company or such Subsidiary is a party or that would
affect the ability of the Company or such Subsidiary to operate any real property and no event has occurred and is continuing that,
with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute noncompliance, breach of or default thereunder, except
in each such case, such noncompliance, breaches or defaults as would not reasonably be expected to, in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect. There are no claims under any Environmental Law pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened wherein

    	-27-

    	 

    

Property adjacent to any such real
property, that are known by the Company or as to which the Company or any such Subsidiary has received written notice, that could
reasonably be expected: (i) to form the basis of an environmental claim against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any real
property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (ii) to cause such real property to be subject to any restrictions on the
ownership, occupancy, use or transferability of such real property under any Environmental Law, except in each such case, where
such claims or restrictions individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.10.Insurance.
The properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries are insured pursuant to policies and other bonds which are valid and in full
force and effect and which provide adequate coverage from reputable and financially sound insurers in amounts sufficient to insure
the assets and risks of the Company and each such Subsidiary in accordance with prudent business practice in the industry of such
Company and Subsidiaries, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.11.Taxes.
The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns and reports required to be filed,
and have paid all material Taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their properties,
income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently
conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP or the non-payment of which, individually
or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the Company’s knowledge,
there is no proposed tax assessment against the Company or any Subsidiary that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.12.ERISA Compliance.

 

(a)Each Pension
Plan of the Company and its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the
Code and other Federal or state laws. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has, or has at any time during the preceding six years
had, an obligation to contribute to a Multiemployer Plan. Each Pension Plan of the Company and its Subsidiaries that is intended
to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service to the effect that the form of such Pension Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto
has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an
application for such a letter is currently being processed by the Internal Revenue Service. To the best knowledge of the Company,
nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such tax-qualified status.

 

(b)There are no
pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority,
with respect to any Pension Plan of the Company and its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. There has been no nonexempt prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any
Pension Plan of the Company and its Subsidiaries that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

 

    	-28-

    	 

    

(c)(i) No ERISA
Event with respect to any Pension Plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries has occurred, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
is aware of any fact, event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an ERISA Event with respect
to any such Pension Plan except as could reasonably be expected individually or in the aggregate not to exceed $50,000,000; (ii)
the Company and each Subsidiary has met in all material respects all applicable requirements under the Pension Funding Rules in
respect of each Pension Plan of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and no waiver of the minimum funding standards under the Pension
Funding Rules has been applied for or obtained; (iii) as of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, the funding target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is 60% or higher and
neither the Company nor any Subsidiary knows of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause the funding
target attainment percentage for any such Pension Plan to drop below 60% as of the most recent valuation date; (iv) neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary has incurred any liability to the PBGC other than for the payment of premiums, and there are no premium
payments which have become due that are unpaid; (v) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has engaged in a transaction that could
be subject to Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA; and (vi) no Pension Plan of the Company and its Subsidiaries has been terminated
by the plan administrator thereof nor by the PBGC, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that could reasonably be
expected to cause the PBGC to institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate any such Pension Plan.

 

(d)For the avoidance
of doubt, references to “Pension Plan” and “Multiemployer Plan” in this Section 5.12 refer only to Pension
Plans and Multiemployer Plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries and do not refer to the Pension Plans or Multiemployer Plans
of other ERISA Affiliates of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

5.13.Subsidiaries.
As of the Closing Date, the Company has no Subsidiaries.

 

5.14.Margin Regulations;
Investment Company Act; Federal Power Act.

 

(a)The Company
is not engaged and will not engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying
margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the FRB), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
margin stock.

 

(b)None of the
Company or any Subsidiary is or is required to be registered as an “investment company” under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(c)None of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Affiliate of any of them, is subject to regulation under the FPA or under applicable
state or other Laws respecting the rates or the financial or organizational regulation of electric utilities, as a result of the

8.02.Consequences
of an Event of Default. If an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01 hereof shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative
Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, and shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders, (1) declare all
Obligations due under this Agreement and all interest accrued thereon to be immediately due and payable (provided that, if any
Event of Default described in Section 8.01(f) of this Agreement hereof shall occur, the Obligations, and the same shall
become and be immediately due and payable, without presentment, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived
by the Company, or any consent or direction of the Required Lenders); (2) notify the Trustee in respect of any Series of Bonds

Remedies Cumulative; Non-Waiver; etc. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders

and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given under this Agreement, under any Related Documents or under any other
agreement between the Company and a Lender or that may now or hereafter exist in law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay
or failure to take action on the part of the Administrative Agent or a Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.
No express or implied waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Event of Default shall in any way be a waiver of
any future or subsequent Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Company and the Administrative Agent or a Lender or
their agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the Related
Documents or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default. In case the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall proceed to invoke
any right, remedy or recourse permitted hereunder or under the Related Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon
the same for any reason, the Administrative Agent or the related Lender shall have the unqualified right so to do and, in such
event, the Company and the Lenders shall be restored to their former positions with respect to the Obligations, the Related Documents
and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourse and powers of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder shall continue
as if the same had never been invoked.

by applicable law.

and under the other Related Documents and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf as directed pursuant
to the terms hereof and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent hereby accepts such appointment and
authorization on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, and except as provided in Section 9.08, the Company shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary
of any of such provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein

subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(b)shall not have
any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Related Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing
by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the
other Related Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion
or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Related Document or
Requirement of Law;

 

    	-46-

    	 

    

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

 

(d)shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.01 and 11.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i)
any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Related Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith,
(iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein
or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Related Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, except as it relates to enforceability against
the Administrative Agent or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other
than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

 

The Administrative
Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Related Document by
or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory
provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent.

 

9.02.Reliance
by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying
upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise
authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone
and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any closing condition hereunder, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Lenders, the Administrative
Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice
to the contrary from such Lender prior to the Closing Date. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
counsel for the Company), 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.

 

9.03.Defaults.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and
until the Administrative Agent or such Lender has received written notice describing such Default or Event of Default by the Company,
the Administrative Agent or a Lender specifying such Default

 

    	-47-

    	 

    

or Event of Default and stating
that such notice is a “Notice of Event of Default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a Notice
of Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall (subject
to Section 9.01 and Section 9.07 hereof) take such action authorized or permitted hereunder with respect to such Default
or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall
have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

 

9.04.Rights as
a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as
a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent and the term “Lender”

serving as Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as the financial advisor, a remarketing agent, a broker-dealer or in any other advisory capacity for and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Company as if such Person were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty
to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

9.05.Reimbursement.
The Lenders agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company hereunder), ratably in accordance
with the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Bonds held by such Lenders, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any other Related Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby
(including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which the Company is obligated to pay hereunder but excluding, unless an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency
duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be
liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent.

 

9.06.Non-Reliance
on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates 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 Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates 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 Related Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or
thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Company
of this Agreement, any Related Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the properties or
books of the Company. The Administrative Agent shall provide to each Lender a copy of each notice or communication

 

    	-48-

    	 

    

which may be provided to the Administrative
Agent under any of the Related Documents. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to
be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility
to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Company
or any of its Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

 

9.07.Failure to
Act. Except for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Related Document, the Administrative
Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or any Related Document unless it shall receive
further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 9.05 against any
and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it in its capacity as Administrative Agent hereunder by reason of taking
or continuing to take any such action.

 

9.08.Resignation
of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Company.
Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint
a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the
United States. If no such successor shall have (i) been so appointed by the Lenders and (ii) accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of
the Lenders, with the prior written consent of the Company (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint
a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify
the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become
effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Related Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Related Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such
collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications
and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly,
until such time as the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance
of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Related Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section), except for its obligations under Section 11.17. The fees payable by the
Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between
the Company and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Related
Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative
Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while
the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

 

    	-49-

    	 

    

9.09.No Other
Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender or Person holding a title listed on the cover page
hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents, except in
its capacity, as applicable, as Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

 

9.10.Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any debtor relief law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to the Company, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Bond shall then be due
and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have
made any demand on the Company) shall 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 Bonds and all other obligations
that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.02 and 9.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

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

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender
to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative
Agent under Sections 2.02 and 9.04. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize
or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting
the obligations of the Company hereunder owing to the Lenders 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.

other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement,
the other Related Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the
Bonds or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Company
or any of its properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings
by any Indemnitee against the Company under any Related Document (all the foregoing in this clause (c), collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”); provided, that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee (i) with respect to Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (ii) in any proceeding that
does not involve an act or alleged act or omission or alleged omission by the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates
and is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee; provided, that notwithstanding this clause (ii), any party to such
proceeding that was acting in its capacity as an agent, an arranger, a bookrunner or in another agency capacity with respect to
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Related Documents shall be indemnified in its
capacity as such in all such proceedings. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each party to this Agreement agrees
that it shall not assert, and hereby waives, any right or claim against any other party to this Agreement and each Indemnitee,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising
out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Related Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Related Document, the Bonds or the use of the proceeds thereof;
provided, however, that Indemnified Liabilities arising out of a claim by any Person against an Indemnitee shall be considered
direct damages for purposes of this Section 10.01, even if such claim may constitute consequential damages with respect to the
Person asserting such claim. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any
information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic
or other information transmission systems (including Intralinks, SyndTrak or similar systems) in connection with this Agreement
or the other Related Documents

 

    	-51-

    	 

    

or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee
as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, and to
the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby
waives and agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with
respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature,
under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee, except to the
extent that such claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses are found by a final
and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 10.01 shall be payable not later than ten days after written demand therefor.
Statements payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 10.01 shall be submitted to the Company at the address set forth on
the signature page attached hereto, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Company in a written
notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.01 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other
amounts payable hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnified Liabilities under clause (c) of this Section 10.01 shall
not include any Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising solely from any non-Tax claim.

 

ARTICLE
XI

Miscellaneous

 

11.01.Patriot
Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company
and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Company in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Company hereby
agrees that it shall promptly provide such information upon request by such Lender.

 

11.02.Amendments
and Waivers; Enforcement. Any provision of this Agreement or the other Related Documents may be amended or waived if, but only
if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (or with respect to the Required Lenders and an amendment or wavier
of an Indenture only, approved by) (i) the Company, (ii) the Required Lenders, and (iii) if the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent, are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent; provided that:

 

(a)no amendment
or waiver pursuant to this Section 11.02 shall reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment (including
by required optional redemption) of any principal of or interest or fee, including the purchase price upon mandatory tender, that
shall become due to any Lender on any Bond or other Obligation payable hereunder or under any Related Document without the consent
of the Lender to which such payment is owing; and

 

    	-52-

    	 

    

(b)no amendment
or waiver pursuant to this Section 11.02 shall, unless signed by each Lender, extend the Company Purchase Date, change the
definition of Required Lenders, change the provisions of this Section 11.02 or of Section 11.03(b), affect the procedure by which
the Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable, take any action hereunder or under any other Related Document, or change any provision
specifying the requirement for approval or consent by or of the Required Lenders or all Lenders.

 

11.03.Setoff;
Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

 

(a)In addition
to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, unless they have agreed to the contrary,
without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being expressly waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable
law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Company hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise),
to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect,
absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for
the credit or the account of the Company, as the case may. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative
Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such setoff and application.

 

(b)If any Lender
shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest
on any of the Bonds held by it, resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of Bonds
and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving
such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations
in the Bonds of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Bonds and other amounts owing them, provided that:

 

(1)if
any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest; and

 

(2)the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Company pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale
of a participation in any of its Bonds to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company.

 

The Company 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

 

    	-53-

    	 

    

arrangements may exercise
against the Company rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct
creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.

 

(c)For the avoidance
of doubt, no further consent or approval is required from any Lender to effect the “Mortgage Amendments” contemplated
by Section 8.08 of each Indenture and each Lender by its purchase of Bonds agrees and consents to such “Mortgage Amendments”.

 

11.04.No Implied
Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No course of dealing and no delay or failure of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Required
Lenders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or the other Related Documents shall affect any other
or future exercise thereof or exercise of any right, power or privilege; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right,
power or privilege or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or privilege preclude any further
exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
would otherwise have under any Related Document, at law or in equity.

 

11.05.Notices.
All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications (collectively “notices”) under the provisions of
this Agreement shall be in writing (including facsimile communication), unless otherwise expressly permitted hereunder, and shall
be sent by first-class mail or overnight delivery and shall be deemed received as follows: (i) if by first class mail, five
(5) days after mailing; (ii) if by overnight delivery, on the next Business Day; (iii) if by telephone, when given to
a person who confirms such receipt; and (iv) if by facsimile or “.pdf”, when confirmation of receipt is obtained;
provided that notices to the Company of a Default or Event of Default hereunder shall be made by first class mail or overnight
delivery. All notices shall be sent to the applicable party at the such party’s address set forth on the signature pages
attached hereto or in accordance with the last unrevoked written direction from such party to the other parties hereto.

 

11.06.No Third-Party
Rights. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any Person other than the parties
hereto and the Beneficial Owners any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, which is
intended for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto.

 

11.07.Severability.
The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable
in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity
or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining
provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

 

11.08.GOVERNING
LAW. THIS AGREEMENT (BUT NOT THE OTHER BOND DOCUMENTS) AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

 

    	-54-

    	 

    

UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

11.09.Submission
To Jurisdiction; Waivers. The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

(a)submits for
itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which it
is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the
courts of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan in the city of New York, the courts of the United States for
the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

 

(b)consents that
any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue
of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees
not to plead or claim the same;

 

(c)agrees that
service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or
any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Company, as the case may be at its address set forth on the signature
pages hereto or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and

 

(d)agrees that
nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right
to sue in any other jurisdiction.

 

For the avoidance of
doubt, the foregoing submission to jurisdiction shall not be binding on the Issuer for any purpose.

 

11.10.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, ANY RELATED DOCUMENT,
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.

 

11.11. Prior Understandings.
This Agreement and the other Related Documents supersede all other prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral,
among the parties hereto relating to the transactions provided for herein and therein.

 

    	-55-

    	 

    

11.12.Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts each
of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

11.13.Assignability.
This Agreement is a continuing obligation and shall (i) be binding upon the Company and their respective successors, transferees
and assigns and (ii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and its successors;
provided, however, that the Company shall not assign all or any part of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the
Lenders. Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Bond Documents, from time to time assign, sell
or transfer in whole or in part, this Agreement, its interest in the Bonds and the Related Documents, or grant participating interests
therein, provided that if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each such sale, assignment, transfer or
grant shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Lender may, in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Bond Documents, without the prior written consent
of the Company (a) at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including
under its Bonds) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve
Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute
any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto, and (b) assign, sell, transfer, or grant participation interests
in, the interests of the Lender in and to the Bonds, this Agreement and the Related Documents where such assignment, sale, transfer
or grant by such Lender is required by Governmental Authority. Each assignment shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an
assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 will be charged by the Administrative Agent with respect to each assignment unless waived
by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

 

11.14.Headings.
Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this
Agreement for any other purpose.

 

11.15.Electronic
Signatures. The parties agree that the electronic signature of a party to this Agreement shall be as valid as an original signature
of such party and shall be effective to bind such party to this Agreement. The parties agree that any electronically signed document
(including this Agreement) shall be deemed (i) to be “written” or “in writing,” (ii) to have
been signed and (iii) to constitute a record established and maintained in the ordinary course of business and an original
written record when printed from electronic files. Such paper copies or “printouts,” if introduced as evidence in any
judicial, arbitral, mediation or administrative proceeding, will be admissible as between the parties to the same extent and under
the same conditions as other original business records created and maintained in documentary form. Neither party shall contest
the admissibility of true and accurate copies of electronically signed documents on the basis of the best evidence rule or as not
satisfying the business records exception to the hearsay rule. For purposes hereof, “electronic signature” means a
manually-signed original signature that is then transmitted by electronic means; “transmitted by electronic means”
means sent in the form of a facsimile or sent via the internet as a “pdf” (portable document format) or other replicating
image attached to an e-mail message; and,

 

    	-56-

    	 

    

“electronically signed document”
means a document transmitted by electronic means and containing, or to which there is affixed, an electronic signature.

 

11.16.Termination.
This Agreement shall terminate when (a) no Bonds remain outstanding or the Initial Index Rate Period shall end for each series
of Bonds and (b) all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations in respect of which no claims have been
asserted) have been paid.

 

11.17.Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by the Company as confidential, and to use such non-public information only in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from
disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender on a confidential basis or any Affiliate
of a Lender on a confidential basis (provided that the disclosing party shall be responsible for any resulting breach of this provision
by any such recipient as if he or she or it were bound by this provision), (b) subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions
of this Section of which the Company is a beneficiary, to any actual or prospective assignee or participant of a Lender’s
Bonds or any direct or indirect counterparty to any Hedge Agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) subject
to an agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section, to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and
other professional advisors or those of any of its Affiliates (provided that the disclosing party shall be responsible for any
resulting breach of this provision by any such recipient as if he or she or it were bound by this provision), (d) upon the request
or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may
otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (f) if required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar
proceeding, (g) that has been publicly disclosed other than as a result of a breach of this provision or other known confidentiality
agreements or obligations, (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally
recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings
issued with respect to such Lender, (i) with the written consent of the Company, or (j) in connection with the exercise of any
remedy hereunder or under any other Related Document; provided that with respect to subsections (d), (e), (f) and (j), the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, provides notification to the Company within a reasonable time prior to
any disclosure or, if such prior notification is not reasonably practicable, then as soon as reasonably practicable, in either
case to the extent such notification is not prohibited by the regulatory authority to which such disclosure is made, the legal
process in which such disclosure is made and applicable law, as applicable. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality
of non-public information as provided in provision 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 non-public information as such Person would accord
to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that this Agreement does not limit the ability
of any party hereto (or any employee, representative, or other agent of such party) to disclose to any Person the tax treatment
or tax structure of the financing transactions evidenced by this Agreement; provided, however, the foregoing is not intended to
waive the attorney-client privilege or any other privileges, including the tax advisor privilege under Section 7525 of the Code.

 

    	-57-

    	 

    

11.18.No Advisory
or Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereunder (including in connection
with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Related Document), the Company acknowledge(s) and agrees,
that: (a) (i) the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate,
(ii) the Company is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the other Related Documents, (iii) none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Arrangers is acting as a municipal
advisor or financial advisor to the Company and (v) none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Arrangers has any fiduciary
duty pursuant to Section 15B of the Securities Exchange Act to the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby
and the discussions, undertakings and procedures leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or the Arrangers has provided other services or is currently providing other services to the Company on other matters); (b) (i)
each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly
agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary, for
the Company, or any other Person and (ii) none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Arrangers has any obligation to the
Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other
Related Documents; and (c) each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers may be engaged in a broad range of transactions
that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Arrangers
has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby
waive(s) and release(s) any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Arrangers with respect
to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transactions contemplated hereby.
If the Company would like a municipal advisor in this transaction that has legal fiduciary duties to the Company, the Company is
free to engage a municipal advisor to serve in that capacity. The Related Documents are entered into pursuant to and in reliance
upon the bank exemption and/or the institutional buyer exemption provided under the municipal advisor rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Rule 15Ba1-1 et seq, to the extent that such rules apply to the transactions contemplated hereunder.

Reference is made to that certain Bond
Purchase and Covenants Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2015 (as amended, restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified

Commitment (each such loan, a “Term Loan”). The Term Borrowing shall consist of Term Loans made simultaneously

Section 2.01(b) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further

(a)Each
Borrowing, each conversion of Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone.
Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested
date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing

a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate
Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect
with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified
an Interest Period of one month.

make the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan or Term Loan available in Dollars to the Administrative Agent in immediately available
funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed

Borrower in Dollars either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of U.S. Bank National Association with the

such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar
Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.

 

(d)The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period
for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in U.S. Bank National Association’s prime rate used in determining
the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

 

(e)After
giving effect to all Revolving Credit Borrowings, Term Loan Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans
from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans as the same Type, there shall not be

L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such
time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does
not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full
text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the
requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request
for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory
to the applicable L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be
a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably
require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents
and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such L/C
Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

 

(ii)Promptly
after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone
or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if
not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer has received written
notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance
or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not
then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter
of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance
with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each
Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk
participation in such Letter of

 

    	36

    	 

    

Credit in
an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

 

(iii)If
the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion,
agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”);
provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least
once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the
beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period
to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower
shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit
has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the extension
of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however,
that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted,
or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof
(by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which
may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is twenty Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from
the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02
is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

 

(iv)Promptly
after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to
the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete
copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

 

(c)Drawings
and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

 

(i)In
each case upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit and
upon payment to a beneficiary under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent thereof. Not later than 4:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit, if the
Borrower has been so notified at or before 11:00 a.m. on such date, otherwise not later than 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day
(each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent
in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer by such time,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed
Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed
to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the

 

    	37

    	 

    

Honor Date
in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for
the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments and the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the applicable
L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed
in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect
of such notice.

 

(ii)Each
Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply
Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Office
in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified
in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that
so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer.

 

(iii)With
respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery of a Committed Loan Notice) cannot be satisfied or for any other
reason, such Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced shall be denominated an L/C Borrowing, which L/C Borrowing shall be
due and payable on demand (together with interest) and upon such demand shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event,
each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii)
shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender
in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

 

(iv)Until
each Lender funds its Revolving Credit Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the applicable
L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of
such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

 

(v)Each
Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn
under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected
by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against
such L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or
(C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however,
that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance
shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the

 

    	38

    	 

    

Borrower
to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together
with interest as provided herein.

 

(vi)If
any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required
to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section
2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from
such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date
such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal
to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection
with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute
such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the
relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)Repayment
of Participations.

 

(i)At
any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s
L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the
account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from
the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative
Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative
Agent.

 

(ii)If
any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i)
is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C
Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand
to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement.

 

(e)Obligations
Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of
Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

 

    	39

    	 

    

(i)any
lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

 

(ii)the
existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against
any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee
may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

 

(iii)any
draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or
insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission
or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

 

(iv)any
payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person
purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or
other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection
with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

 

(v)any
other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

 

The Borrower shall
promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim
of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable
L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents
unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

 

(f)Role of L/C
Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C
Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly
required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority
of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their
respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the applicable L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender
for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders,
as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution,
effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The
Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or

 

    	40

    	 

    

transferee with respect
to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude
the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any
other agreement. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent,
participant or assignee of the applicable L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses
(i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding,
the Borrower may have a claim against any such Person, and such Person may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to
the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves
were caused by such Person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Person’s willful failure to pay under any
Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer
may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, and such L/C Issuer
shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument by a beneficiary transferring or assigning or purporting
to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the beneficiary’s rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole
or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

 

(g)Applicability
of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower
when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP
shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not be responsible
to the Borrower for, and the applicable L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any
action or inaction of the applicable L/C Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted
to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the applicable
L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions,
practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade –
International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, to the
extent such law or practice is applicable to such Letter of Credit.

 

(h)Letter of
Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable
Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the
Applicable Rate times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any
Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which
such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03
shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments
in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.16(a)(iv), with the
balance of such fee, if any, payable to such L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available
to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06.
Letter

 

    	41

    	 

    

of Credit Fees shall
be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the
first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on
demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the
daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately
for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at
the Default Rate.

 

(i)Fronting
Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrower shall pay directly to (i) any L/C Issuer,
in its capacity as an L/C Issuer, for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it, at the
rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a
quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) each other L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit
issued by it, at the rate per annum agreed to by the Borrower and such L/C Issuer, computed on the daily amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the first Business
Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion
thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit,
on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn
under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In
addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment
and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time
to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

 

(j)Conflict
with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms
hereof shall control.

 

(k)Letters of
Credit Reports. For so long as any Letter of Credit issued by an L/C Issuer is outstanding, such L/C Issuer shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent on the last Business Day of each calendar month, and on each date that an L/C Credit Extension occurs
with respect to any such Letter of Credit, a report in the form of Exhibit F, appropriately completed with the information
for every outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer.

 

2.04Swing Line
Loans.

 

(a)The Swing
Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other
Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, will make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the
Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time
outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line
Lender, may

 

    	42

    	 

    

exceed the amount of
such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan,
(i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving
Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations,
plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s
Revolving Credit Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line
Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof,
the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04.
Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to,
and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line
Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line
Loan.

 

(b)Borrowing
Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and
the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be
a minimum of $500,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be
confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic
Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative
Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in
writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed
Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth
in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified
in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later
than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available
to the Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available
funds.

 

(c)Refinancing
of Swing Line Loans.

 

(i)The
Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes
the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal
to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in
writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements
of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples

 

    	43

    	 

    

specified
therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments
and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable
Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal
to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan)
for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified
in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall
be deemed to have made a Base Rate Revolving Credit Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the
funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

 

(ii)If
for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i),
the request for Base Rate Revolving Credit Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a
request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each
Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i)
shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

 

(iii)If
any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to
be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section
2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent),
on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such
amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included
in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing
Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii)
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(iv)Each
Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant
to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A)
any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower
or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event
or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however,

 

    	44

    	 

    

that each
Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set
forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower
to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(d)Repayment
of Participations.

 

(i)At
any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives
any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage
thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

 

(ii)If
any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned
by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage
thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned,
at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing
Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination
of this Agreement.

 

(e)Interest
for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the
Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Revolving Credit Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section
2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable
Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

 

(f)Payments
Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line
Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

 

2.05Prepayments.

 

(a)Optional.
The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or
in part without premium or penalty (other than as set forth in Section 3.05); provided that (i) such notice must
be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar
Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be
in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed
Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the
entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the
Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such

 

    	45

    	 

    

prepayment.
If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice
shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may
state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of the other credit facilities or instruments of Indebtedness or the
occurrence of any other specified event, 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. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan
shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section
3.05. Subject to Section 2.16, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with
their respective Applicable Percentages. Any partial prepayment of a Term Loan shall be applied to the next Scheduled Term Loan
Installment in direct order or as otherwise selected by the Borrower.

 

The Borrower
may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily
prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by
the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment
shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such
notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall
be due and payable on the date specified therein.

 

(b)Mandatory.

 

(i)If
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries Disposes of any property (other than any Disposition of any property permitted by Section
7.04(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (h), (i) and (j) which results in the realization by such Person
of Net Cash Proceeds), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds
within three Business Days after receipt thereof by such Person (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (iv) below);
provided, however, that, with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized under a Disposition described in this Section
2.05(b)(i), at the election of the Borrower (as notified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent within 90 days after or
prior to the date of such Disposition), and so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in operating assets so long as within 180 days after the receipt of such
Net Cash Proceeds, such reinvestment shall have been consummated, or the Borrowers or such Subsidiary shall have committed to such
reinvestment in writing (and the resulting reinvestment is consummated within 270 days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds)
(as certified by the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent); and provided further, however, that
any Net Cash Proceeds not subject to such written agreement or so reinvested shall be applied to the prepayment of the Loans within
30 days of receipt thereof (or termination of such written agreement without consummation of purchase) as set forth in this Section
2.05(b)(i).

 

    	46

    	 

    

(ii)Upon
the sale or issuance by the Borrower of any of its Equity Interests (other than Excluded Equity Issuances), the Borrower shall
prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom within three Business
Days after receipt thereof by the Borrower (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (iv) below).

 

(iii)Upon
the incurrence or issuance by the Borrower of any Indebtedness (other than Excluded Debt Issuances), the Borrower shall prepay
an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom within three Business Days
after receipt thereof by the Borrower (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (iv) below).

 

(iv)Upon
any Extraordinary Receipt received by or paid to or for the account of any Loan Party, and not otherwise included this Section
2.05(b), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received
therefrom immediately upon receipt thereof by such Loan Party (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clauses (vi) below);
provided, however, that with respect to any proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards (or payments in lieu thereof),
at the election of the Loan Party (as notified by the Loan Party to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of receipt
of such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards), and so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Loan
Party may apply within 90 days after the receipt of such cash proceeds to replace or repair the equipment, fixed assets or real
property in respect of which such cash proceeds were received; and provided, further, however, that any cash proceeds not so applied
shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05(b)(iv).

 

(v)Each
prepayment of Loans pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied to the Term Loans of the
Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. Each mandatory prepayment of Loans in the foregoing provisions
shall be applied to the remaining Scheduled Term Loan Installments on a pro rata basis.

 

(vi)If
for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately
prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however,
that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) unless
after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Line Loan the Total Outstandings exceed the Aggregate
Commitments then in effect.

 

(vii)If
the Borrower fails to obtain any approval, consent or authorization from any Governmental Authority which is necessary or required
in order to permit the Borrower to incur Obligations hereunder on or before December 31 of each calendar year, then the Borrower
shall immediately prepay all outstanding Loans and Cash Collateralize all L/C Obligations to the extent, and only to the extent,
such outstanding

 

    	47

    	 

    

Loans and
L/C Obligations are not authorized by the then effective necessary or required approvals, consents and authorizations from such
Governmental Authorities.

 

2.06Termination
of Commitments. 

 

(a)Mandatory.
The Term Loan Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero at 11:00 am Eastern time on the date of the Term
Borrowing.

 

(b)Application.
The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments, or from time to time permanently
reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall
be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate
or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total
Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Revolving Credit
Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the
Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess, as applicable.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit
Commitments. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender
according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments
shall be paid on the effective date of such termination. A notice of Revolving Credit Commitment reduction delivered by the Borrower
may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or instruments of Indebtedness or the
occurrence of any other specified event, 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 conditions are not satisfied.

 

2.07Repayment
of Loans.

 

(a)The
Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the applicable Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such
date.

 

(b)In
addition to payments made pursuant to clause (a), the Borrower shall repay the Term Loans in the amounts and on the dates set forth
on Schedule 2.07 (each, together with the payment on the Term Loan Maturity Date a “Scheduled Term Loan Installment”).

 

2.08Interest.

 

(a)Subject
to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable
Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing
date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the

 

    	48

    	 

    

Applicable
Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing
date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

 

(b)(i)If
any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter until such amount is paid in full bear interest at a fluctuating interest
rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(ii)If any amount
(other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (after any applicable notices
have been given and grace periods have expired), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request
of the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter until such amount is paid in full bear interest at a fluctuating interest
rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(iii)Upon the request
of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(g) exists, the Borrower shall pay interest
on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default
Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(iv)Accrued and
unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

 

(c)Interest
on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may
be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment,
and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

 

2.09Fees.
In addition to certain fees described in subsection (h) and (i) of Section 2.03:

 

(a)Undrawn
Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage,
an undrawn fee (the "Undrawn Fee") equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which
the Revolving Credit Commitments exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) the Outstanding
Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.16. For the avoidance of doubt, the Undrawn Fee
will be calculated without regard to outstanding Swing Line Loans. The Undrawn Fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability
Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and
payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such
date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period. The Undrawn Fee shall be calculated quarterly
in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during

 

    	49

    	 

    

any quarter,
the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter
that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

 

(b)Other
Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts
and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason
whatsoever. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts
and at the times so specified, such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

2.10Computation
of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the “Prime
Rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations
of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest,
as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which
the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid,
provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear
interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

2.11Evidence
of Debt.

 

(a)The
Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the
Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each
Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and
the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect
the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. 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. Upon the request
of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules
to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

 

(b)In
addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain,
in accordance with its usual practice, accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations
in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative
Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent
shall control in the absence of manifest error.

2.12Payments
Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

 

(a)General.
All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim,
defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made
to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s
Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative
Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such
payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative
Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue
to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on
the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

 

(b)(i)
Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed
Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such 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 Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made
such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Revolving Credit Borrowing or Term Loan 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 in immediately available funds
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 (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation,
plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing,
and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and
such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its
share of the applicable Revolving Credit Borrowing or Term Loan Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid
shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan or Term Loan, as applicable, included in such Revolving Credit Borrowing
or Term Loan Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender
that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

 

    	51

    	 

    

(ii)Payments
by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers hereunder
that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such
date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, as the case
may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers,
as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or such L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 

A notice of the Administrative
Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.

 

(c)Failure
to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by
such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower
by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied
or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from
such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

 

(d)Obligations
of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, to fund participations
in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The
failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan or Term Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under
Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do
so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Revolving Credit Loan or
Term Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

 

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

 

2.13Sharing
of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment
in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans made by it, or the participations
in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the
aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided
herein, then the Lender receiving such greater

 

    	52

    	 

    

proportion shall (a)
notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Credit
Loans or Term Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments
as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate
amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans and other amounts owing them;
provided that:

 

(i)if
any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest; and

 

(ii)the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to
and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a
Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash
Collateral provided for in Section 2.15,
or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to
the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

 

(b)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 setoff 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.

 

2.14Increase
in Revolving Credit Commitments.  

 

(a)Request for
Increase. After the Ohio Mortgage has been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 6.16, provided
that no Default exists, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from
time to time, request an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments by an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding $95,000,000;
provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000.  At the time of sending
such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender
is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to
the Lenders).

 

(b)Lender Elections
to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase
its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage
of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its
Revolving Credit Commitment.

 

    	53

    	 

    

(c)Notification
by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’
responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the
Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

 

(d)Effective
Date and Allocations. If the Revolving Credit Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the "Increase Effective Date") and the final allocation
of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase
and the Increase Effective Date.

 

(e)Conditions
to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall (x) deliver to the Administrative
Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (A)
certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, (B) certifying that
after giving effect to such increase, and making such calculations as if such increase was effective as of the first fiscal period
applicable to such calculations, the Loan Parties are in compliance with Section 7.11 and (C) certifying that, before and
after giving effect to such increase, (I) the representations and warranties contained in Article V are true and correct
in all material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except that (i) if a qualifier relating to materiality, Material
Adverse Effect or a similar concept applies, such representation or warranty is true and correct in all respects, (ii) to the extent
that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all
material respects as of such earlier date (except that if a qualifier relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or a similar
concept applies, such representation or warranty is true and correct in all respects) and (iii) for purposes of this Section
2.14, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be
deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section
6.01, and (II) no Default exists, and (y) pay all fees and expenses owed to the Administrative Agent or the lenders in connection
with such increase. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional
amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable
with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any non-ratable increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section.

 

(f)Conflicting
Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or 10.01 to the contrary. 

 

2.15Cash Collateral.

 

(a)Certain Credit
Support Events. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer (i) if an L/C Issuer has honored any full or
partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing that has not been refinanced

 

    	54

    	 

    

as a Base Rate Loan
hereunder, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower
shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. At any time that there
shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after
giving effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender); provided that, the
Administrative Agent and each of the L/C Issuers agree not to, and shall not, request, demand or otherwise require, and the Borrower
shall have no obligation to deliver, pay or otherwise provide, any such Cash Collateral pursuant to this sentence or the last sentence
of Section 2.15(b) so long as the Borrower is not permitted to deliver, pay or provide such Cash Collateral under the terms
of any agreement (without giving effect to any provision thereof permitting a general basket of liens) to which the Borrower is
a party or is bound (other than any agreement entered into with an Affiliate in which the Borrower has agreed to any such restriction
for the benefit of such Affiliate).

 

(b)Grant of
Security Interest; Borrower Exceptions. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support and other collateral not constituting
funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at U.S. Bank National Association;
provided that Cash Collateral delivered, paid or otherwise provided by the Borrower pursuant to the last sentence of Section
2.15(a) or the last sentence of this subsection (b) shall not be maintained in such accounts to the extent not permitted
by the terms of any agreement (without giving effect to any provision thereof permitting a general
basket of liens) to which the Borrower is a party or is bound (other than any agreement
entered into with an Affiliate in which the Borrower has agreed to any such restriction for the benefit of such Affiliate).
The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender),
and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all
other property so provided as Cash Collateral, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all
as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.15(c); provided
that the Borrower does not, and shall have no obligation to, grant or maintain any security interest in, or subject to the control
of the Administrative Agent, any Cash Collateral delivered, paid or otherwise provided by the Borrower pursuant to the last sentence
of Section 2.15(a) or the last sentence of this subsection (b) to the extent not permitted by the terms of any agreement
(without giving effect to any provision thereof permitting a general basket of liens)
to which the Borrower is a party or is bound (other than any agreement entered into with
an Affiliate in which the Borrower has agreed to any such restriction for the benefit of such Affiliate). Subject to the
proviso under Section 2.15(a), if at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any
right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or an L/C Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount
of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured or supported, as applicable,
thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide
to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

 

    	55

    	 

    

(c)Application.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section
2.15 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.16 or 8.02 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing
Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund
participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation)
and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be
provided for herein.

 

(d)Release.
Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released
promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including
by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance
with Section 10.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash
Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower shall not be released
during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.16 may
be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future
anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

 

2.16Defaulting
Lenders.

 

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

 

(i)Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect
to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.01,
Section 10.06 or otherwise hereunder.

 

(ii)Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received
by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08, shall be applied at such time or times as
may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting
Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting
Lender to the L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested
by any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender or the Borrower, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting
Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit, except to the
extent not permitted under the terms of any agreement (without giving effect to any provision thereof permitting a general basket
of liens) to which the Borrower is a party or is bound (other than any agreement entered into with an Affiliate in which the Borrower
has agreed to any such 

 

    	56

    	 

    

restriction
for the benefit of such Affiliate); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default
exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required
by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro-rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential
future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
Lenders, L/C Issuers or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender,
any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such
Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a
payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded
its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when
the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans
of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans
of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C
Obligations and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect
to Section 2.16(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied
(or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.16(a)(ii) shall
be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(iii)Certain
Fees. A Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any Undrawn Fee pursuant to Section 2.09(a) for any period
during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would
have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter
of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.03(h).

 

(iv)Reallocation
of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes
of computing the amount of the obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters
of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.03 and 2.04, the “Applicable Percentage” of each
Non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that,
(i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default
or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations
in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the

 

    	57

    	 

    

Revolving
Credit Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans
of that Lender.

 

(b)Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuers agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative
Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions
set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable,
purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine
to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and
Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving
effect to Section 2.16(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments
will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was
a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder
arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

2.17Additional
Term Loans. The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more
new term loans (each, an “Additional Term Loan”) for the purpose of refinancing Indebtedness of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries. Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Additional Term Loan Effective Date”)
on which the Borrower proposes that the Additional Term Loan Lenders make available to the Borrower the Additional Term Loan, which
shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and
(ii) the identity of each Eligible Assignee to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Additional Term Loans be allocated

the Additional Term Loans may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Additional Term Loans. Each Additional

    	58

    	 

    

required
to be true and correct in all respects, (ii) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier
date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (iii) for purposes of this
Section 2.17, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05
shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of

(v)the
aggregate amount of the Additional Term Loans shall not exceed the amount of the Indebtedness (plus any accrued interest, fees,

(vi)after
giving effect to the Additional Term Loans and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate amount of Indebtedness secured

(i)the
Additional Term Loans shall be secured solely by the Collateral;

 

(ii)the

restrictive than the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents and covenants in the Loan Documents; provided

 

    	59

    	 

    

however,

any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien and security interests granted
by the Collateral Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any
such class of Term Loans.

ARTICLE
III.TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

 

3.01Taxes.
 

 

(a)Payments
Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation
of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, except
as required by applicable Law. If, however, applicable Laws require the applicable Withholding Agent to withhold or deduct any
Tax (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent), then the applicable Withholding Agent shall
withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the applicable Withholding Agent to be required and shall timely pay the
full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law. If such Tax is an Indemnified
Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making
of all required deductions (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction
been made.

 

(b)Payment of
Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting or duplicating the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely
pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely
reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

(c)Tax Indemnifications.
(i) Without limiting or duplicating the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby,
indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and
reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount and basis
for calculation of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

 

(ii)Without
limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and each L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, severally
indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor, (A) the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions
of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (B) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower,
as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or any
Borrower (and not deducted or withheld by the Borrower or Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, as applicable,
from any payment otherwise due hereunder to such Lender) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such

 

    	61

    	 

    

Taxes were
correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to any Lender by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Borrower or Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (as applicable) to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower (as
applicable) to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Borrower or Administrative Agent (as applicable)
under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the
Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate
Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

 

(d)Evidence
of Payments.  Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes
by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original
or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by
Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
as the case may be.

 

(e)Status of
Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Any Lender or L/C Issuer that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time
or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced
rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender or L/C Issuer, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Laws 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 or L/C Issuer 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 3.01(e)(ii)(A),
(ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s reasonable judgment
such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or such L/C Issuer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense.

 

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

 

(A)any
Lender or L/C Issuer 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 or L/C Issuer becomes a Lender or L/C Issuer under this Agreement (and

 

    	62

    	 

    

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 or L/C Issuer is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

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

 

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

 

(II)executed
originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

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

 

(IV)to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI,
IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN if applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2
or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided
that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the
portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4
on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

(C)any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such
number of

 

    	63

    	 

    

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

 

(D)if a
payment made to a Lender or L/C Issuer under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA
if such Lender or L/C Issuer 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 or L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such
additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or L/C Issuer has complied
with such Lender or L/C Issuer’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of
this Agreement and for purposes of this Section 3.01 the term “applicable Laws” shall include FATCA.

 

(iii)Each
Lender and L/C Issuer agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires
or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

(f)Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund,
credit or other benefit in respect of any 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, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund, credit
or other benefit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund, credit or other benefit), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by such Recipient 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 Recipient agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the
Recipient is required to repay such refund, credit or other benefit to such Governmental Authority. This subsection 3.01(f)
shall not be construed to require the Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes
that it

 

    	64

    	 

    

deems confidential)
to the Borrower or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Administrative
Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place
the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender
would have been in if the Taxes 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 Taxes had never been paid.

 

3.02Illegality.
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 or its applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder or make, maintain or fund or charge interest
with respect to any Credit Extension, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars
in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any
obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Credit Extension or continue
Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice
asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference
to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary
to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement without reference to the
Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon
demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans
of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such
illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement without reference to the Eurodollar Rate
component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain
such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate
Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar
Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender in accordance
with this Agreement without reference to the Eurodollar 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 Eurodollar Rate.
Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

 

3.03Inability
to Determine Rates. If in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof
that (a) the Administrative Agent determines that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar
market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist
for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any

 

    	65

    	 

    

requested Interest
Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan (in each case,
with respect to clause (a)(i) above, “Impacted Loans”), or (b) the Required Lenders reasonably determine that
for any reason the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately
and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower
and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended (to
the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan or Interest Period), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding
sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining
the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders in
the case of clause (b) above) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request
for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans
or Interest Periods), or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate
Loans in the amount specified therein.

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination described in clause (a)(i) of this section, the Administrative
Agent, in consultation with the Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted
Loans,  in which case, such alternative rate of interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative
Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this section, (2)
the Administrative Agent or the affected Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest
rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans, or (3) any Lender determines
that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its
applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to such alternative rate of
interest or to determine or charge interest rates based upon such rate or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions
on the authority of such Lender to do any of the foregoing and provides the Administrative Agent and the Borrower written notice
thereof.

 

3.04Increased
Costs, Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.  

 

(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 or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated
by Section 3.04(e) or any L/C Issuer);

 

(ii)subject
any Lender or any L/C Issuer to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through
(d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other
obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

 

    	66

    	 

    

(iii)impose
on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or
Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein (except for Taxes);

 

and the result of any
of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material in its sole
discretion, of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the
Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer
of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue
any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether
of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such
Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such additional costs incurred
and reductions suffered shall be determined by such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s, as the case may be, reasonable allocation
of the aggregate additional cost incurred or reduction suffered due to such events that are allocable to this Agreement. If the
Borrower so notifies the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after any Lender notifies the Borrower of any additional
cost incurred or reduction suffered pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Borrower may convert all Eurodollar
Rate Loans of such Lender then outstanding into Base Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(b)Capital
Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such L/C Issuer or
any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital
or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s
capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement,
the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters
of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such
L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s
or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect
to capital adequacy and liquidity), by an amount deemed by such Lender or such L/C Issuer to be material in its sole discretion,
then from time to time, upon the request of such Lender or L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s
or such L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered that such Lender or such L/C Issuer reasonably determines
is allocable to this Agreement.

 

(c)Certificates
for Reimbursement. Each Lender and L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower of any Change in Law that would entitle such Person
to any amount under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section as soon as reasonably practicable and promptly thereafter deliver to
the Borrower a written certificate setting forth the amounts due under such subsections and setting forth in reasonable detail
the calculations upon which such amounts were determined. A

 

    	67

    	 

    

certificate of a Lender
or an L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company,
as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within 20 days after receipt thereof.

 

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

 

(e)Reserves
on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves
with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs
of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be
conclusive absent manifest error), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided
that the Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such
additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date,
such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.

 

3.05Compensation
for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly
compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

 

(a)any
continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

 

(b)any
failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert
any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

 

(c)any
assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request
by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;

 

    	68

    	 

    

excluding any loss of
anticipated profits and including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain
such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

 

For purposes of calculating
amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each
Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank
eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so
funded.

 

3.06Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.  

 

(a)Designation
of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender or L/C Issuer requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower
is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for
the account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section
3.02, then at the request of the Borrower, such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate
a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another
of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future,
or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such
Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to
such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by any Lender or any L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b)Replacement
of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 or gives a notice under Section 3.02, or if
the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

 

3.07Survival.
All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment
of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, would cause or deem the Administrative Agent, any Lenders or any of their respective
Affiliates to be subject to, or not exempted from, regulation under the FPA.

 

5.07No Default.
The Borrower and each Subsidiary are in full compliance with all material terms, covenants and conditions of each of its Contractual
Obligations, except for any noncompliance that could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have

Borrower and each Subsidiary has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, all real property

right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property (as such term is defined in the applicable Mortgage) thereunder, and
when such Mortgage is filed or recorded in the proper real estate filing or recording offices, and all relevant mortgage taxes
and recording charges are duly paid, the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have a perfected first
priority Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title, and interest of the Guarantor in such Mortgaged Property and, to
the extent applicable, subject to Section 9-315 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior

the Guarantor to operate the peaker plants on such Mortgaged Property.

 

5.09Environmental
Compliance. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Environmental Laws governing its business,
except to the extent that any such failure to comply (together with any resulting penalties, fines or forfeitures) would not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All licenses, permits, registrations or approvals required for the conduct of the
business of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law have been secured and the Borrower and each of
its Subsidiaries is in substantial compliance therewith, except for such licenses, permits, registrations or approvals the failure
to secure or to comply therewith is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries has received written notice, or otherwise knows, that it is in any respect in noncompliance with, breach of or default
under any applicable writ, order, judgment, injunction, or decree to which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is a party or that would
affect the ability of the Borrower or such Subsidiary to operate any real property and no event has occurred and is continuing
that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute noncompliance, breach of or default thereunder,
except in each such case, such noncompliance, breaches or defaults as would not reasonably be expected to, in the aggregate, have
a Material Adverse Effect. There are no claims under any Environmental Law pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened
wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no
facts, circumstances, conditions or occurrences on any real property now or at any time owned, leased or operated by the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries or on any Property adjacent to any such real property, that are known by the Borrower or as to which
the Borrower or any such Subsidiary has received written notice, that could reasonably be expected: (i) to form the basis of a
claim under any Environmental Law against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any real property of the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries; or (ii) to cause such real property to be subject to any restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, use or transferability
of such real property under any Environmental Law, except in each such case where such claims

 

    	76

    	 

    

or restrictions individually
or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.10Insurance.
The properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are insured pursuant to policies and other bonds which are valid and in full
force and effect and which provide adequate coverage from reputable and financially sound insurers in amounts sufficient to insure
the assets and risks of the Borrower and each such Subsidiary in accordance with prudent business practice in the industry of such
Borrower and Subsidiaries, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.11Taxes.
The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal, state and other material tax returns and reports required to be filed,
and have paid all material Taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their properties,
income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently
conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP or the non-payment of which, individually
or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the Borrower’s knowledge,
there is no proposed tax assessment against the Borrower or any Subsidiary that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5.12ERISA Compliance.

 

(a)Each
Pension Plan of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA,
the Code and other Federal or state laws. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has, or has at any time during the preceding
six years had, an obligation to contribute to a Multiemployer Plan. Each Pension Plan of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that
is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
Revenue Service to the effect that the form of such Pension Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust related
thereto has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code,
or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the Internal Revenue Service. To the best knowledge of the
Borrower, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such tax-qualified status.

 

(b)There
are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental
Authority, with respect to any Pension Plan of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. There has been no nonexempt prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect
to any Pension Plan of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.

 

(c)(i)
No ERISA Event with respect to any Pension Plan of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries has occurred, and neither the Borrower nor
any Subsidiary is aware of any fact, event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an ERISA
Event with respect to any such Pension Plan except as could reasonably be expected individually or in the aggregate not to exceed
$50,000,000; (ii) the Borrower and each

 

    	77

    	 

    

Subsidiary
has met in all material respects all applicable requirements under the Pension Funding Rules in respect of each Pension Plan of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and no waiver of the minimum funding standards under the Pension Funding Rules has been applied
for or obtained; (iii) as of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, the funding
target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is 60% or higher and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary
knows of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause the funding target attainment percentage for any
such Pension Plan to drop below 60% as of the most recent valuation date; (iv) neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has incurred
any liability to the PBGC other than for the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments which have become due that
are unpaid; (v) neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or
Section 4212(c) of ERISA; and (vi) no Pension Plan of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has been terminated by the plan administrator
thereof nor by the PBGC, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to cause the PBGC
to institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate any such Pension Plan.

 

(d)For the avoidance
of doubt, references to “Pension Plan” and “Multiemployer Plan” in this Section 5.12 refer only to Pension

that
this covenant relates to only to the good working order and repair of such property and equipment and shall not be construed as
a covenant not dispose of any such property or equipment by sale, lease, transfer or otherwise or to discontinue operation thereof

applied shall be made in all material respects of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the
Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

 

6.10Inspection
Rights. Permit representatives and independent contractors of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to visit and inspect
(but not to conduct invasive sampling of environmental media or building materials) any of its material properties, and to discuss
its affairs, finances and accounts with its executive officers and independent public accountants (provided that the Borrower shall
be permitted to attend any such discussions with such accountants) and, if a Default exists, to examine its books of records and
account and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, all at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often
as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the Borrower;

 

    	84

    	 

    

provided, however,
that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to permit more than one such
visit, inspection or examination during any calendar year. All costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
in connection with any of the foregoing shall be paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, unless an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such costs and/or expenses are incurred, in which case all such
costs and expenses shall be paid by the Borrower. Subject to the proviso above, in the event any Lender desires to visit and inspect
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, such Lender shall make a reasonable effort to conduct such visit and inspection contemporaneously
with any visit and inspection to be performed by the Administrative Agent or another Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 6.10, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to disclose, permit the inspection,
examination or making copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter that (a) constitutes
non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (b) in respect of which disclosure to the Administrative

contravention of any Law or of any Loan Document.

 

6.12Senior Debt.

of the Loan Parties, and (b) any Indebtedness of the Loan Parties that is subordinated in any manner to the claims of any other
senior creditor of the Loan Parties will be subordinated in like manner to such claims of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

 

6.13Maintenance
of Collateral. Ensure that the Collateral Documents remain in full force and effect and the Collateral is perfected with a
first priority security or mortgage Lien; provided however, such covenant shall not apply at all times that the Borrower’s
senior unsecured long-term debt is rated Investment Grade.

 

6.14Further
Assurances. Promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, or any Lender through the Administrative Agent, (a) correct
any material defect or error that may be discovered in any Loan Document or in the execution, acknowledgment, filing or recordation
thereof, and (b) do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register any and all such
further acts, deeds, certificates, assurances and other instruments as the Collateral Agent, or any Lender through the Collateral
Agent, may reasonably require from time to time in order to (i) carry out more effectively the purposes of the Loan Documents,
(ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subject any Loan Party’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties,
assets, rights or interests to the Liens now or hereafter intended to be covered by any of the Collateral Documents, (iii) perfect
and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Collateral Documents and any of the Liens intended to be created

    	85

    	 

    

Agent under any Loan
Document or under any other instrument executed in connection with any Loan Document to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries
is or is to be a party, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to do so.

ARTICLE
IX.ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

    	100

    	 

    

9.01Appointment
and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints U.S. Bank National Association to act on
its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to
take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third
party beneficiary of any of such provisions, except as provided in Section 9.06. It is understood and agreed that the use
of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative
Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable
Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship
between contracting parties.

 

9.02Rights as
a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as
a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender”
or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business
with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and
without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

9.03Exculpatory
Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in
the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

 

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

 

(b)shall
not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed
in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein
or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in
its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document
or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any 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)shall
not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for
the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to

 

    	101

    	 

    

or obtained
by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

The Administrative
Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good
faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) and (ii) in the absence
of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default
unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer.

 

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

 

9.04Reliance
by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying
upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise
authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone
and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must
be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory
to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or
such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult
with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not
be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

9.05Delegation
of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under
any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective
Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any

 

    	102

    	 

    

such sub-agent, and
shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well
as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non appealable judgment that the
Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

 

9.06Resignation
of Administrative Agent.

 

(a)The
Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower. Upon receipt
of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Borrower (so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a commercial bank organized
and licensed under the laws of the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation,
then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers with the prior written consent of the
Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that
no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with
such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral
security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations
provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each L/C Issuer
directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
(if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section), except for its obligations under Section 10.07.
The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless
otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for
the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

 

(b)Any
resignation by U.S. Bank National Association, as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation
as an L/C Issuer and Swing Line

other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit,
if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively
assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

9.07Non-Reliance
on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each L/C
Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or
any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue
to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

9.08No Other
Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Co-Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agent, the

or an L/C Issuer hereunder.

 

9.09Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation
shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative
Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, 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, L/C Obligations
and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,

Lender and each L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount
due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel,
and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

 

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

 

9.10Collateral
Matters.

discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact

under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Collateral Agent,

in full herein with respect thereto.

 

(b)Each of the Lenders
(including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Cash Management Bank) and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorize
the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral
Agent under any Loan Document, (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other

(d)Upon request by
the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release
or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property. In each case as specified in this Section 9.10, the
Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as
such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest
granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations
under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.10.

to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more
adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability
to the Borrower, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages
(as opposed to direct or actual damages).

 

(d)Change of

or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the
recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative
Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

 

10.03No Waiver;
Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, any L/C Issuer, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to exercise,
and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies,
powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights,
remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

    	109

    	 

    

Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings
at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance
with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders and the L/C Issuers; provided, however, that the foregoing
shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit
(solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any L/C Issuer or the Swing
Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as an L/C Issuer or Swing

accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.13), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim
or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor
Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding
proviso and subject to Section 2.13, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies

relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the
Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses, (A) (x) are determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee
for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such
Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
or (B) arise out of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower
or any of its affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee. This subsection 10.04(b) shall
not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

 

(c)Reimbursement
by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a)
or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), each L/C Issuer, the Swing
Line Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any
such sub-agent), such L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or such Related Party, 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 the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender
in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent) or such L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this
subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

 

    	111

    	 

    

(d)Waiver of
Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto and each Indemnitee shall
not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against each other party hereto and each Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as
a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that this provision
shall not limit the Borrower’s indemnity obligations under Section 10.04(b) for claims asserted against any Indemnitee
by any third party. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended
recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee 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 other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(e)Payments.
All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

 

(f)Survival.
The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent and U.S. Bank National Association as
an L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

 

10.05Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer
or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the
proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or
required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law
or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall
be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b)
each Lender and each L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication)
of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the

Lenders and the L/C Issuers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and
the termination of this Agreement.

 

10.06Successors
and Assigns.  

 

(a)Successors
and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any
of

 

    	112

    	 

    

its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) and
no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with
the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection
(d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f)
of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors
and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent in its capacity as such may not assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Borrower, except in compliance
with Section 9.06.

 

(b)Assignments
by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b),

be subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)Minimum
Amounts.

 

(A)in the
case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing
to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned;
and

 

(B)in any
case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose
includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans
of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption,
as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 and, after giving effect to any assignment of Commitments, the assignor
shall not have a Commitment of less than $10,000,000 and the assignee shall have a Commitment of not less than $5,000,000 unless
each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents
(each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(ii)Proportionate
Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that

 

    	113

    	 

    

this clause
(ii) shall not apply to the rights in respect of the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line
Loans.

 

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

 

(A)the
consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), an Affiliate
of a Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) or an Approved Fund; provided
that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to
the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

 

(B)the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment
is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;

 

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

 

(D)the
consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.

 

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

 

(v)No
Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates
or Subsidiaries, (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would
constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) a natural person.

 

(vi)Certain
Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such
assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the
assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution
thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or

 

    	114

    	 

    

subparticipations,
or other compensating actions, including funding, with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent,
the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable
assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting
Lender to the Administrative Agent, an L/C Issuer, or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and
fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance
with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any
Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph,
then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance
occurs.

 

Subject to acceptance
and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 and be bound by all of the provisions of this
Agreement with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment and shall continue to
remain obligated under Sections 10.03, 10.07, 10.10, 10.12, 10.14, and 10.15 on and after
the effective 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. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to
the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply
with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section.

 

(c)Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes),
shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office 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 and interest amounts of the
Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
any notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation,
and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register

 

    	115

    	 

    

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)Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuers or
the Swing Line Lender sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any
of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s
participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower,
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant, and the principal amounts (and stated interest)
of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including
the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letter
of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary
to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and
such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all
purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in
its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

 

Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement
or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or
other modification described in subsections (a), (b) or (c) of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that
adversely affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant
agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

 

(e)Limitations
upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the

 

    	116

    	 

    

participation to such
Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the
Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

 

(f)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 (including
under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank or central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

(g)Resignation
as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time
U.S. Bank National Association assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, U.S. Bank National Association
may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice
to the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, the Borrower
shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however,
that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of U.S. Bank National Association as
L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If U.S. Bank National Association resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all
the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuers hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of
the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require
the Lenders to make Base Rate Revolving Credit Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section
2.03(c)). If U.S. Bank National Association resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line
Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation,
including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Revolving Credit Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding
Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a)
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer
or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the
Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to U.S. Bank National
Association to effectively assume the obligations of U.S. Bank National Association with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

10.07Treatment
of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain
the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), and use the Information only in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners,
directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (provided that the Person to whom such disclosure
is made needs to know such Information in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and it being understood that the
Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the

 

    	117

    	 

    

confidential nature
of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and shall have agreed to be bound by the confidentiality
and use provisions of this Section to the same extent as if they were parties hereto and that the disclosing Person shall
be responsible for any breach of this provision), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction
over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent
required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto on a confidential
basis, (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, but no less restrictive, as those of this Section and to which the Borrower is a
beneficiary thereof, 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 or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(c) or Section
2.17 or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the
Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or other known confidentiality agreements or obligations
or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a non-confidential basis from a source other
than the Borrower that was not known to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or obligation; provided that with respect
to subsections (b), (c), (e) and (f), the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, provides notification
to the Borrower within a reasonable time prior to any disclosure or, if such prior notification is not reasonably practicable,
then as soon as reasonably practicable, in either case to the extent such notification is not prohibited by the regulatory authority
to which such disclosure is made, the legal process in which such disclosure is made and applicable law, as applicable. For purposes
of this Section, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating
to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses or Affiliates, other than any such information that is
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower
or any Subsidiary. 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.

 

Each of the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning
the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed reasonable and customary compliance procedures regarding
the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable
Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws. The obligations contained in this Section 10.07 shall survive
the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

 

10.08Right of
Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their
respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law,
to set off and apply

 

    	118

    	 

    

any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever
currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower
against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower are owed to a branch or office of such
Lender or such L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided,
that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over
immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending
such payment, shall 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 (y) the Defaulting Lender shall 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.
The rights of each Lender, each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender
and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application;
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

10.09Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be
paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate,
the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.
In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum
Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense,
fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate,
and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

10.10Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof
and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. 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 that, when taken together, bear the signatures
of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other
electronic

 

    	119

    	 

    

imaging means shall
be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

10.11Survival
of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document
or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery
hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender,
regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall
continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any
Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

 

10.12Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the
enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined
in good faith by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall
be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

 

10.13Replacement
of Lenders. (i) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) if the Borrower is required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01
or 3.04, (iii) if any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.02, (iv) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (v) if
any Lender is a Restricted Lender (as defined below), or, (vi) if the long term local issuer credit rating, or the equivalent rating,
by S&P of any Lender has dropped below BBB+ and the long term bank deposit credit rating, or the equivalent rating, by Moody’s
has dropped below Baa1; then, in the case of clauses (i) through (v), the Borrower, and in the case of clause (vi), the Administrative
Agent, may, at the sole expense and effort of the Borrower or, in the case of clause (vi), the sole expense of the Borrower and
the joint effort of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require
such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents
required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents
to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided that:

 

(a)the Borrower
shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

 

    	120

    	 

    

(b)such Lender
shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest
thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower
(in the case of all other amounts);

 

(c)in the case
of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant
to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

 

(d)in the case
of any such assignment by a Restricted Lender, the assignee must have approved in writing the substance of the amendment, waiver
or consent which caused the assignor to be a Restricted Lender; and

 

(e)such assignment
does not conflict with applicable Laws.

 

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

 

For
the purposes of this Section 10.13,
a “Restricted Lender” means a Lender that fails to approve an amendment, waiver or consent requested by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 10.01 that has received the written approval
of not less than the Required Lenders but also requires the approval of such Lender.
