		(a)	Each Loan Party, subject to the terms
                                            and limits contained in the Amended Credit Agreement and in the Security Documents, reaffirms

                                            increased pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement) pursuant to the Guarantee and Collateral
                                            Agreement and other Security Documents. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed
                                            the terms and provisions of this Agreement and consents to the amendment of the Existing
                                            Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this Agreement. Each Loan Party hereby confirms that

		(b)	Each Loan Party hereby (i) confirms
                                            that each Loan Document to which it is a party or is otherwise bound and all Collateral encumbered
                                            thereby will continue to secure to the fullest extent possible in accordance with the Loan
                                            Documents the payment and performance of the Obligations, (ii) confirms its respective
                                            grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of the security interest
                                            in and continuing Lien on all of such Loan Party’s right, title and interest in, to
                                            and under all Collateral, in each case whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired
                                            or arising and wherever located, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment
                                            and performance in full when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration,
                                            acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all applicable Obligations (including all such Obligations
                                            as amended, reaffirmed and/or increased pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement), subject
                                            to the terms contained in the applicable Loan Documents and (iii) confirms its other
                                            pledges, other grants of security interests and other obligations, as applicable, under and
                                            subject to the terms of each Loan Document to which it is a party.

 

6.            Amendment,
Modification and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except in accordance with Section 9.08
of the Amended Credit Agreement.

 

7.            Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral,
among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

8.            Effect
of the Amendment. On and after the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, (i) each reference to the “Credit Agreement”
in any Loan Document shall be deemed to be a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement, (ii) the terms “Agreement”,
 “this Agreement”, “herein”, “hereinafter”, “hereto”, “hereof”, and words
of similar import, as used in the Amended Credit Agreement, shall, unless the context otherwise requires, mean the Amended Credit Agreement
and (iii) this Agreement shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all Loan Documents shall continue to be in full force and effect
and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not operate
as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a
waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Agreement do
not constitute a novation but, rather, an amendment of the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement.

9.            GOVERNING
LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING
OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER
THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

10.          Miscellaneous.
The provisions of Sections 9.11 and 9.15 of the Amended Credit Agreement are incorporated by reference herein and made
a part hereof.

 

11.          Severability.
In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

12.          Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same
contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other customary means of electronic
transmission (e.g., “.pdf”) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. The words “execution,”
 “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed
in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation amendments, waivers and consents)
shall be deemed to include electronic signatures on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records
in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the
use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the
Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other
similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Each of the parties represents and warrants to the other parties
that it has the corporate capacity and authority to execute the Agreement through electronic means and there are no restrictions for
doing so in that party’s constitutive documents.

Obligations. Each Loan Party covenants, warrants and agrees to execute and deliver the documents and to complete the tasks set forth
on Schedule II hereto, in each case, within ninety (90) days of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date (or such longer period of time
reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent).

Section 1.07     Interest
Rate; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate,
which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which
contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial
Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions
to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for
purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the London interbank
offered rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest
rate on Eurodollar Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify
new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered
rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 2.08(c),
such Section 2.08(c) provides a mechanism for determining the alternative rate of
interest. The Administrative Agent will notify the Administrative Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.08(c),
in advance of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark
Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 2.08(c) provides a mechanism
for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Administrative Borrower, pursuant
to Section 2.08(c), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on
Eurodollar Loans is based. However, theRates. The Administrative
Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any
liability with respect to, (a) the
continuation of, administration
of, submission
of, calculation of or
any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or otherAlternate
Base Rate, Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred
to in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or with respect to any alternative
or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any suchthereof,
or any alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.08(c),
whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation ofthereto
(including any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.08(c),
including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any
such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate (including
any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the
Eurodollar Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank
offered rate,
Alternate Base Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability).,
or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other
related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Alternate Base Rate, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor
or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the
Borrowers. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain Alternate Base
Rate, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower,
any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential
damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation
of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

The Credits

 

Section 2.01     Commitments.

 

(a)            [Reserved].

 

(b)            Subject
to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender agrees,
severally and not jointly, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers, on a joint and several basis as between the Borrowers, at any time
and from time to time on or after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, and until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date
and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal
amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s
Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the limits set forth in the preceding sentence and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations
set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

 

(c)            Each
Lender having an Incremental Term Loan Commitment agrees, severally and not jointly, subject to the terms and conditions and relying
upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, to make Incremental
Term Loans to the Borrowers, on a joint and several basis as between the Borrowers, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed its
Incremental Term Loan Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

 

(d)            Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no more than seven (7) Classes of Loans and seven (7) Classes of Commitments
shall be outstanding at any one time.

 

Section 2.02     Loans.
(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable
Commitments (or, in the case of Swing Line Loans, ratably in accordance with their respective Swing Line Commitments); provided,
however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend
hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required
to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and Swing Line Loans or
as otherwise set forth herein, the Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.
Each Borrowing of Swing Line Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $50,000 and not
less than $100,000 or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the Swing Line Commitment.

 

(b)            Subject
to Sections 2.02(f), 2.08 and, 2.15
and 2.29,
each Borrowing (other than a Borrowing of Swing Line Loans which shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans) shall be comprised entirely
of ABR Loans or EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loans as the Borrowers may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any
EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that
any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrowers
shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than ten (10) EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowings outstanding hereunder at any time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest
Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

 

    	 	62	 

     

    

 

(c)            Except
with respect to Loans made pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and Swing Line Loans, each Lender shall make each Loan to be
made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as
the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
credit the amounts so received to an account designated by the Administrative Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing
shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received
to the respective Lenders.

 

(d)            Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available
to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made
such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above
and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but is not required to, make available to the Borrowers on such date
a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not
have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and each Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available
to the Borrowers to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrowers,
a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case
of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount
shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

 

(e)            Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request any Revolving Credit Borrowing if the Interest Period
requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

 

(f)            If
the applicable Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Borrowers the payment required to be made by Section 2.24(e) within
the time specified in such Section, such Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the L/C Disbursement and the Administrative
Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such L/C Disbursement and its Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Revolving
Credit Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York
City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received such notice later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time,
on any day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s
Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement (it being understood that (i) if the conditions precedent to Borrowing set forth in
Sections 4.01(b) and 4.01(c) have been satisfied, such amount shall be deemed to constitute an ABR Revolving
Loan of such Lender and, to the extent of such payment, the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of such L/C Disbursement shall be
discharged and replaced with the resulting ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing, and (ii) if such conditions precedent to Borrowing have
not been satisfied, then any such amount paid by any Revolving Credit Lender shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers
from their obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement), and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to such Issuing Bank amounts
so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to such Issuing Bank any amounts received
by it from the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.24(e) prior to the time that any Revolving Credit Lender makes any
payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted
by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made such payments and to such Issuing Bank, as their interests
may appear. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative
Agent as provided above, such Lender and each Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including
the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable
to Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, for the first such day, the Federal
Funds Effective Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate.

Section 2.03     Borrowing
Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing (other than a deemed Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(f) or a

specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.02.
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If
no Interest Period with respect to any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant
to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

 

Section 2.04     Evidence
of Debt; Repayment of Loans. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender (i) the principal amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.11,
(ii) the principal amount of each Swing Line Loan of such Swing Line Lender then outstanding on the earlier of the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date and the first date after such Swing Line Loan is made that is the 15th or the last day of a calendar month and
is at least five (5) Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan
Borrowing is made, the Borrowers shall repay all Swing Line Loans then outstanding and (iii) the then unpaid principal amount of
each Revolving Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date applicable thereto.

 

(b)            Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid
to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

 

(c)            Subject
to Section 9.04(d), which shall control in all cases, the Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will
record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable
thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender
hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrowers and each Lender’s
share thereof.

 

    	 	64	 

     

    

 

(d)            Subject
to Section 9.04(d), which shall control in all cases, the entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above
shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure
of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations
of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

 

(e)            Any
Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to
such Lender a Note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in the form of a Revolving Loan Note or Term Loan Note, as applicable,
or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, in the event any Lender shall request and receive such a promissory note, the interests represented by such note shall at
all times (including after any assignment of all or part of such interests pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one
or more promissory notes payable to the payee named therein or its registered assigns.

 

Section 2.05     Fees.
(a) The Borrowers agree to pay to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March, June, September and
December in each year and on each date on which any Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall expire or be terminated as
provided herein, (i) a commitment fee (a “Revolving Credit Commitment Fee”), initially equal to 0.375%
per annum on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (reduced by the face amount of Letters of Credit issued and outstanding)
of such Lender during the preceding quarter (or other period commencing with the Original Closing Date or ending with the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date or the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender shall expire or be terminated); provided that,
from and after the date of delivery to the Administrative Agent of the financial statements and certificates required by clauses (ii) and
(iii) of Section 5.04(a) for the fiscal quarter of the Administrative Borrower ended March 31,
2021, the commitment fees shall be determined in accordance with the pricing grid below.

 

	Total Leverage Ratio	 	X ≤ 2.75:1.00	 	 	> 2.75:1.00 X ≤ 4.25:1.00	 	 	X > 4.25:1.00	 
	Revolving Credit Commitment Fee	 	 	0.25%		 	 	0.375%		 	 	0.50%	

 

Each change in the Revolving Credit Commitment
Fee resulting from a change in the Total Leverage Ratio shall be effective on and after the date of delivery to the Administrative Agent
of the financial statements and certificates required by clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5.04(a),
respectively, indicating such change until the date immediately preceding the next date of delivery of such financial statements indicating
another such change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during which the Administrative Borrower has failed to deliver the financial
statements and certificates required by clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 5.04(a),
respectively, the Total Leverage Ratio shall be deemed to be greater than 4.25:1.00 for purposes of determining the Revolving Credit
Commitment Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement,
if it is subsequently determined that the computation of the Total Leverage Ratio delivered to the Administrative Agent is inaccurate
for any reason and the result thereof is that the Lenders received Revolving Credit Commitment Fees less than that which would have been
applicable had the Total Leverage Ratio been accurately determined, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitment
Fee for any day occurring within the period covered by inaccurate computation shall retroactively be deemed to be the relevant percentage
as based upon the accurately determined Total Leverage Ratio for such period, and any shortfall in the fees paid by the Borrowers for
the relevant period pursuant to this Section 2.05 as a result of the miscalculation of the Total Leverage Ratio shall be
due and payable; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) other than while an Event of Default described in paragraph
(g) or (h) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, such shortfall shall be due and payable
five (5) Business Days following the determination described above (and, if such determination was made by the Administrative Agent,
notice by the Administrative Agent thereof to the Administrative Borrower) and (y) if an Event of Default described in (g) or
(h) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, such shortfall shall be due and payable immediately upon
the determination described above. The Revolving Credit Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed
in a year of 360 days. For the purpose of calculating any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Fee, the outstanding Swing Line
Loans during the period for which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Fee is calculated shall be deemed to be zero.

 

    	 	65	 

     

    

 

(b)            The
Administrative Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, a non-refundable agency fee as set forth in the
Fee Letter (the “Administrative Agent Fees”).

 

(c)            The
Borrowers agree to pay (i) to each Revolving Credit Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the last Business Day of March,
June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender shall be
terminated as provided herein, a fee (an “L/C Participation Fee”) calculated on such Lender’s Pro Rata
Percentage of the daily aggregate L/C Exposure (excluding the portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during
the preceding quarter (or shorter period commencing with the Original Closing Date or ending with the Revolving Credit Maturity Date
or the date on which all Letters of Credit have been canceled or have expired and the Revolving Credit Commitments of all Lenders shall
have been terminated) at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin from time to time used to determine the interest rate on Revolving
Credit Borrowings comprised of EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loans pursuant to Section 2.06, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank with respect to each Letter of Credit
issued by such Issuing Bank (A) a fronting fee as negotiated with such Issuing Bank, (1) on a quarterly basis in arrears
on the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December, commencing on the last Business Day of June, 2015 and
(2) on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (B) the standard fronting, issuance and drawing fees specified from time to
time by such Issuing Bank (collectively, the “Issuing Bank Fees”). All L/C Participation Fees and Issuing Bank
Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.

 

(d)            The
Administrative Borrower agrees to pay on the Original Closing Date such closing fees as may be agreed in respect of the Credit Facilities
between the Administrative Borrower and the Arrangers (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) pursuant to a letter agreement dated
as of the Original Closing Date, which closing fees will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Original Closing Date
and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter.

 

(e)            All
Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate,
among the Lenders, except that the Issuing Bank Fees shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the Fees
shall be refundable under any circumstances.

 

Section 2.06     Interest
on Loans. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including
any Swing Line Loans) shall bear interest (in the case of ABR Loans bearing interest based upon the Prime Rate, computed on the basis
of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and in all other cases, computed on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days at all times and calculated from and including the date of such Borrowing to
but excluding the date of repayment or conversion thereof), at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin.

 

(b)            Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.07, the Loans comprising each EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days)
at a rate per annum equal to the Reserve Adjusted Eurodollar RateTerm
SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

 

(c)            Interest
on each Loan shall be payable by the Borrowers on the Interest Payment Dates applicable to such Loan except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Reserve Adjusted Eurodollar RateTerm
SOFR for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative
Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

Section 2.07     Default
Interest. If any Event of Default under Article VII has occurred and is continuing, then, from the date of such
Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, to the extent permitted by law, all amounts not paid when due
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable by the Borrowers on
demand, (a) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 plus
2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over
a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other
times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum (such 2.00% rate referred to in clauses (a) and
(b), the “Default Rate”).

 

Section 2.08     Alternate
Rate of Interest.

 

(a)            InSubject
to Section 2.29, in the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement
of any Interest Period for a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing the Administrative Agent shall have determined that Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans
comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market,
or that the rates at which such Dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the majority of
Lenders of making or maintaining EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loans during such Interest Period, or that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Reserve
Adjusted Eurodollar RateTerm
SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give written or fax notice of such determination
to the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised
the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by a Borrower
for a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing.
Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

    	 	66	 

     

    

 

(b)           IfSubject
to Section 2.29, if on or before the first day of any Interest Period for any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing (i) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that, for any reason, adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar RateTerm
SOFR (including without limitation, the unavailability of matching deposits in the applicable currency) or (ii) such
rate will not accurately reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowings for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give written notice (in reasonable detail) of
such determination and of the basis therefor to the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon until the Administrative Agent
notifies the Administrative Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist (which the Administrative
Agent shall do promptly after the Administrative Agent determines that such circumstances do not exist), (A) the obligations of
the Lenders to make, continue or convert Revolving Loans as or into such EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loans, or to convert ABR Borrowings into such EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowings, shall be suspended and (B) each EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing will automatically on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into an ABR Borrowing.

 

(c) (i) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable,
and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark,
then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark
Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder
and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further
action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined
in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such
Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark
setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement
is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement
from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

 

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

 

(iii)          The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition
Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark
Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any
tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (iv) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability
Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group
of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.08(c), including any determination with respect
to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain
from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion
and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant
to this Section 2.08(c).

 

    	 	67	 

     

    

 

(iv)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark
Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (1) any tenor
for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by
the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark
has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative,
then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such
time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above
either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or
(2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including
a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark
settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

 

(v)            Upon
the Administrative Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Administrative Borrower
may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued
during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Administrative Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request
into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor
for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark
or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.

 

Section 2.09       Termination
and Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Revolving Credit Commitments shall automatically terminate on the applicable Revolving
Credit Maturity Date. The Swing Line Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Original Revolving Credit Maturity Date (unless
the Swing Line Lender elects to extend the maturity of its Swing Line Commitment). The L/C Commitment shall automatically terminate on
the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the date five (5) Business
Days prior to the Original Revolving Credit Maturity Date (unless the applicable Issuing Bank elects to extend the maturity of its L/C
Commitment).

 

(b)          Upon
at least three (3) Business Days’ prior irrevocable written or fax notice to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative
Borrower may at any time in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments,
the Term Loan Commitments or the Swing Line Commitment; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction of the
Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, (ii) each partial
reduction of the Swing Line Commitment shall be in an integral multiple of $250,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and (iii) the
Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not be reduced to an amount that is less than the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at the
time; provided further, that if such notice states that the reduction or termination is contingent upon the successful issuance
or incurrence of Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.01 to be issued or incurred or any other specified event (including,
but not limited to, the occurrence of any Asset Sale or Change ofin
Control), then the Administrative Borrower may, if the specified condition is not satisfied, (x) revoke such notice
and/or (y) extend the reduction date by not more than five (5) Business Days, in the case of each of clauses (x) and
(y), by providing notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date.

 

(c)           Each
reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Term Loan Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance
with their respective applicable Commitments. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders,
on the date of each termination or reduction, the Commitment Fees on the amount of the Commitments so terminated or reduced accrued to
but excluding the date of such termination or reduction.

 

    	 	68	 

     

    

 

Section 2.10       Conversion
and Continuation of Borrowings. The Administrative Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior irrevocable written notice
to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to conversion,
to convert any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three (3) Business
Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing or to continue any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing as a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three
(3) Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

 

(i)             each
conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans
comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

 

(ii)             if
less than all the outstanding principal amount of any Borrowing shall be converted or continued, then each resulting Borrowing shall
satisfy the limitations specified in Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) regarding the principal amount and
maximum number of Borrowings of the relevant Type;

 

(iii)           each
conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of
such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent
principal amount, and accrued interest on any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrowers at the time of conversion;

 

(iv)           if
any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall
pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;

 

(v)            any
portion of a Borrowing maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing;

 

(vi)           any
portion of a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest
Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing;

 

(vii)          no
Interest Period may be selected for any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Term Borrowing that would end later than the applicable Term Loan Repayment Date occurring on or after the first
day of such Interest Period if, after giving effect to such selection, the aggregate outstanding amount of the EurodollarTerm
SOFR Term Borrowings comprised of Term Loans, as applicable, with Interest Periods ending on or prior to the applicable
date would not be at least equal to the principal amount of applicable Term Borrowings to be paid on such date;

 

(viii)         upon
notice to the Administrative Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan; and

 

    	 	69	 

     

    

 

(ix)            this
Section shall not apply to Swing Line Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

 

Each notice pursuant to this
Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the
Borrowing that the Borrowers request be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued
as a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing, (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion
(which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto;
provided, however, notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.10 to the contrary, the Interest Election Notice delivered
pursuant to Section 4(k) of the Ninth Amendment may be conditioned upon the occurrence of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date.
If no Interest Period is specified in any such notice with respect to any conversion to or continuation as a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative
Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any
converted or continued Borrowing. If the Administrative Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10
to continue any Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10
to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to
the terms hereof), automatically be converted to an ABR Borrowing.

 

Section 2.11        Repayment
of Term Borrowings. (a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent,

 

(i)             for
the account of the Incremental Term Lenders with Other Term Loans, on each Incremental Term Loan Repayment Date, a principal amount of
the Other Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13(f) and 9.04(l)(vi))
equal to the amount set forth for such date in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement, together in each case with
accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment; and

 

(ii)            for
the account of the Lenders with Refinancing Term Loans, on each Refinancing Term Loan Repayment Date, a principal amount of the Refinancing
Term Loans (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13(f) and 9.04(l)(vi)) equal
to the amount set forth for such date in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest
on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

 

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

 

(c)          All
repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.16.

 

Section 2.12       Voluntary
Prepayment. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole
or in part, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written or fax notice in the case of EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loans, or written or fax notice at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment in the case of
ABR Loans, to the Administrative Agent before 1:00 p.m., New York City time; provided, however, that (i) each
partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) at the
Administrative Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(a),
such prepayment shall not, so long as no Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender. Prepayments
of Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) shall be applied to the remaining scheduled amortization payments
relating to such Term Loans as elected by the Administrative Borrower.

 

    	 	70	 

     

    

 

(b)           Each
notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid,
shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrowers to prepay such Borrowing by the amount stated therein on the date stated therein;
provided, however, that if such notices states that the prepayment is contingent upon the successful issuance or incurrence
of Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.01 to be issued or incurred or any other specified event (including, but not limited
to, the occurrence of any Asset Sale or Change ofin
Control), then the Administrative Borrower may, if the specified condition is not satisfied, (x) revoke such notice
and/or (y) extend the prepayment date by not more than five (5) Business Days (in the case of each of clauses (x) and
(y), by providing notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date); provided further, however, that
the provisions of Section 2.16 shall apply with respect to any such revocation or extension. All prepayments under this
Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.16. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 (other
than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of the Revolving
Credit Commitments) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date
of payment.

 

Section 2.13        Mandatory
Prepayments. (a) In the event of any termination of all the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrowers shall, on the date
of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Revolving Loans and all outstanding Swing Line Loans and replace or cause to
be canceled (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank with respect to) all outstanding
Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. If, after giving effect to any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments or
at any other time, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Borrowers shall,
on the date of such reduction or at such other time, repay or prepay Revolving Loans and, after the Revolving Loans shall have been repaid
or prepaid in full, replace or cause to be canceled (or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing
Bank with respect to) Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

 

(b)          Not
later than the fifth Business Day following the receipt by the Administrative Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (or by any other
Person on account of an Asset Sale by the Administrative Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary) of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any
Asset Sale in excess of $5,000,000 in any fiscal year of the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall apply 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received
with respect thereto to prepay outstanding Loans and/or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.13(f);
provided that if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Borrowers are required to offer to repurchase Permitted
Pari Passu Refinancing Debt that is senior secured loans (or any Permitted Refinancing Debt thereof that is in the form of senior secured
loans and which are secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations) pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness
with the net proceeds of such Asset Sale (such Permitted Pari Passu Refinancing Debt (or such Permitted Refinancing Debt thereof), “Other
Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrowers may apply the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale on a pro rata basis (determined
on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans, outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided further that the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds
allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness
pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be allocated to the Loans and Letters
of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Loans, to the cash collateralization of Letters of Credit and
to the repurchase or prepayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Loans and cash collateralization
of Letters of Credit that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) shall be reduced accordingly.
To the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased or prepaid, the declined amount
shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Loans
in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

    	 	71	 

     

    

 

(c)           In
the event that the Administrative Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (or any other Person at the direction of the Administrative Borrower
or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed by the
Administrative Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary (other than any cash proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness for money borrowed
permitted pursuant to Section 6.01 (other than the incurrence of Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.01(m)(x))),
the Borrowers shall on the Business Day of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds
to prepay outstanding Loans and/or cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.13(f).

 

(d)           In
the event that the Administrative Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (or any other Person at the direction of the Administrative Borrower
or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Casualty Event Receipt in excess of $5,000,000 in any fiscal year
of the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall not later than the fifth Business Day following the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by the Administrative
Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Loans and/or cash
collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.13(f); provided that if at the time that
any such prepayment would be required, the Borrowers are required to offer to repurchase Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the
terms thereof with the net proceeds from such Casualty Event Receipt, then the Borrowers may apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Casualty
Event Receipt on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans, outstanding Letters
of Credit and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided further that
the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount required to be allocated
to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such Net Cash Proceeds shall
be allocated to the Loans and Letters of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Loans, to the cash collateralization
of Letters of Credit and to the repurchase or prepayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Loans
and cash collateralization of Letters of Credit that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.13(d) shall
be reduced accordingly. To the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased or prepaid,
the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied
to prepay the Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(e)           [reserved].

 

(f)           Mandatory
prepayments under Section 2.13(b), (c) and (d) shall be applied without penalty or premium, (i) first,
pro rata among the Term Loans (if any), in each case, being applied to the remaining scheduled amortization payments relating to such
Term Loans in direct order of maturity, (ii) second, to Revolving Loans and, (iii) third, to cash collateralize outstanding
Letters of Credit (in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount) on a pro rata basis, in each case, with no corresponding permanent
reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments (except in the case of any mandatory prepayment made under Section 2.13(c) in
connection with Indebtedness incurred under Section 6.01(m)(x), in which case the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be
permanently reduced by the amount of such debt incurred).

 

    	 	72	 

     

    

 

(g)          The
Administrative Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under this Section 2.13,
(i) a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation
of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice
of such prepayment (other than prepayments of ABR Revolving Loans that are not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction
of the Revolving Credit Commitments). Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid
and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13
shall be subject to Section 2.16, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to
be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

 

(h)          [reserved].

 

(i)            Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.13, (i) in the case of any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans, Term
Loan Lenders may waive by written notice to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which such
mandatory prepayment would otherwise be required to be made hereunder the right to receive the amount of such mandatory prepayment of
the Term Loans, (ii) if any Term Loan Lender or Term Loan Lenders elect to waive the right to receive the amount of such mandatory
prepayment, all of the amount that otherwise would have been applied to mandatorily prepay the Term Loans of such Lender or Lenders shall
be offered by the Borrowers to the remaining non-waiving Term Loan Lender or Term Loan Lenders on a pro rata basis, based on the respective
principal amounts of their outstanding Term Loans, (iii) if and to the extent any such non-waiving Term Loan Lender does not elect
by written notice to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent within three Business Days following the date on which
the offer is made pursuant to clause (ii) above to accept such offer, such Term Loan Lender shall be deemed to have rejected
such offer, (iv) any amounts not applied to the prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to clause (ii) or clause (iii) above
shall be applied instead on the fourth Business Day following the date on which the offer is made to Term Loan Lenders pursuant to clause
(ii) above to the prepayment of outstanding Revolving Loans (but without any corresponding reduction in Revolving Credit
Commitments) and (v) to the extent there are any prepayment amounts remaining after the foregoing application, such amounts shall
be paid promptly by the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Borrower (any amounts returned to the Administrative Borrower pursuant
to this clause (v), “Declined Amounts”).

 

Section 2.14       Reserve
Requirements; Change in Circumstances. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law
affecting any Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, shall
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender or any Issuing Bank (except
any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Reserve Adjusted Eurodollar Rate), (ii) subject the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Taxes in connection with this Agreement or any Loan, Letter of Credit or
Commitment made hereunder or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or change the basis of taxation
payments in respect thereof (except, in each case, (A) for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified pursuant to Section 2.20,
(B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection
Income Taxes) or (iii) impose on such Lender or such Issuing Bank or the London interbank market
any other condition affecting this Agreement or EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing
shall be to increase the cost (other than Taxes) to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan or increase the cost (other than Taxes) to any Lender or any Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter
of Credit or purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender
or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, upon demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

    	 	73	 

     

    

 

(b)           If
any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding any capital or liquidity requirements has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made or participations
in Letters of Credit purchased by such Lender pursuant hereto or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank pursuant hereto to
a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies
of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers
shall pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)           A
certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above
shall be delivered to the Administrative Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender
or such Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 10 days after its receipt of the same.

 

(d)           Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased
costs incurred or reduction suffered in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver
of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be
under any obligation to compensate any Lender or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect
to increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as applicable,
notifies the Administrative Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s
or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply
to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period.

 

Section 2.15        Change
in Legality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful
for any Lender to make or maintain any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan, then, by written notice to the Administrative Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

 

(i)             such
Lender may declare that EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued
for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loans, whereupon any request for a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing or to continue a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or
a request to continue an ABR Loan as such or to convert a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

 

    	 	74	 

     

    

 

(ii)             such
Lender may require that all outstanding EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

 

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights
under clause (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied
to repay the EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting
from the conversion of, such EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loans.

 

(b)           For
purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Administrative Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Administrative Borrower.

 

Section 2.16        Breakage.
Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss (other than a loss of applicable margin or profits) or expense that such Lender
may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations
hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any
EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan to be made by such Lender (including any EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice
of such Loan shall have been given by any Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being
called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment required to
be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined
by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day
of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be
realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate
of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant
to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Administrative Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

Section 2.17        Pro
Rata Treatment. Except as provided with respect to Swing Line Loans, subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which
require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders, and as required under Section 2.15,
each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of the
Revolving Credit Commitment Fees, each reduction of the applicable Class of Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to
or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective
applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts
of their outstanding Loans). For purposes of determining the available Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at any time, each
outstanding Swing Line Loan shall be deemed to have utilized the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders (including those Lenders
which shall have not have made any Swing Line Loans) pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Credit Commitments. Each Lender
agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion,
round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.

 

    	 	75	 

     

    

 

Section 2.18       Sharing.
Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against any Borrower
or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code or other security or interest
arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loan or L/C Disbursement as a result
of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements shall be proportionately less than the unpaid
principal portion of the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have
purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in
the Loans and L/C Exposure of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and L/C Exposure and participations
in Loans and L/C Exposure held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans and
L/C Exposure then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans and L/C Exposure prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff
or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans and L/C Exposure outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s
lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that (i) if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments
shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase
or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored
without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made
by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration
for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.18 shall apply), other than as permitted pursuant
to Section 9.04. Each Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation
in a Loan or L/C Disbursement deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim
with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrowers to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan
directly to the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

 

Section 2.19       Payments.
(a) Each Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any L/C Disbursement or any Fees
or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due
in immediately available Dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the
discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating
the amounts due hereunder. Each such payment (other than Issuing Bank Fees, which shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Bank)
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender.

 

(b)          Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any Fees or other
amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day,
such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation
of interest or Fees, if applicable.

 

    	 	76	 

     

    

 

(c)           Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Administrative Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event,
if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or applicable Issuing Bank, 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 Issuing Bank, with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of
overnight or short term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).

 

(d)          If
a payment (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a
 “Improper Payment”)) is made by the Administrative Agent (or its Affiliates) in error (as determined by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and whether known to the recipient or not) or if a Lender, Issuing Bank, Loan Party
or another recipient of funds is not otherwise entitled to receive such funds at such time of such Improper Payment or from such Person
in accordance with the Loan Documents (each such Lender, Issuing Bank, Loan Party or other recipient, as applicable, an “Improper
Recipient”), then such Improper Recipient shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such
Improper Payment that was made in error (or otherwise not intended (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion)
to be received) in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Improper Payment
was made available by the Administrative Agent (or its Affiliate) to such Improper Recipient to the date such Improper Payment is repaid
to the Administrative Agent (or its Affiliate) in same day funds at (i) in the case of any Improper Recipient that is a Loan Party
(or its Affiliates), at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days,
as the case may be, when determined by reference to the Prime Rate and over a year of 360 days at all other times) equal to the rate
that would be applicable to an ABR Loan, and (ii) in the case of any other Improper Recipient, the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short term funds and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). Each Improper Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and any
other party hereto that is not an Improper Recipient (or its Affiliate), as applicable, to set off and apply any and all amounts at any
time owing to such Improper Recipient under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Improper Payments due to the Administrative
Agent or any other party hereto, as applicable. Each Improper Recipient and other party hereto shall not assert any right or claim to
the Improper Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand,
claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Improper Payments received, including without limitation waiver
of defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine or any other claim of entitlement to any portion of an
Improper Payment that the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, determines was made in error.

 

(e)           Each
Improper Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives an Improper Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates)
(x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment or other communication
sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Improper Payment (a “Payment Notice”),
(y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Improper Recipient otherwise becomes aware
was transmitted, or received, in error or mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, an error shall be deemed to have been made with
respect to such Improper Payment. Each Improper Recipient hereby agrees that, in each such case, it shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business
Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Improper Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand
was made.

 

    	 	77	 

     

    

 

(f)           The
Administrative Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that the receipt by any Lender or Issuing Bank of an Improper Payment
shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed to such Lender or Issuing Bank by the Administrative
Borrower or any other Loan Party.

 

Section 2.20       Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes except as required by any applicable Law; provided
that, if any Taxes are required by any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent)
to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings
and shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (ii) if
any Taxes required to be withheld or deducted are Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, then the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be
increased as necessary so that after making such required deductions or withholdings (including such deductions and withholdings of Indemnified
Taxes and Other Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the applicable Recipient receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

 

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

 

(c)           Without
duplication of Sections 2.20(a) or (b) above, each Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient within ten (10) days
after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder
or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable
under this Section 2.20) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, a Recipient shall not be indemnified for any Indemnified Taxes hereunder unless the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or Issuing Bank shall make written demand on the Administrative Borrower for reimbursement of such Indemnified Taxes no later than 180
days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority makes written demand upon the Recipient for
payment of such Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) the date on which the Recipient has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes. A certificate
as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Administrative Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself, a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

 

(d)          As
soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Administrative
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.

 

    	 	78	 

     

    

 

(e)           (i) Any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall
deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower
or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition,
any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation
prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers
or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation
(other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.20(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required
if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed
cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. If any form or certification previously
delivered pursuant to this Section 2.20(e) or Section 2.20(g) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any
respect with respect to a Recipient, such Recipient shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence
or inaccuracy) notify the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy
and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

 

(ii)            Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing,

 

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

 

(B) any Foreign
Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Administrative 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 Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent),
whichever of the following is applicable:

 

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

 

(2) executed
copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

(3) in the
case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-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 either 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 copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable, (or its successor form); or

 

    	 	79	 

     

    

 

(4) to the
extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS
Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, (or its successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially
in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-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 K-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 Administrative 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 Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent),
executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal
withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the
Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(D) if a
payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient
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 Recipient shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent at
the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative 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 Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for
the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied
with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes
of this clause (D) and paragraph (g), hereof, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of
this Agreement.

 

(f)            If
the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines, in its discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received
a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by an indemnifying party or with respect to which an indemnifying party has
paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20, it shall pay over such refund to the indemnifying party (but only
to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the indemnifying party under this Section 2.20
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent,
such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the indemnifying party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or such Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the indemnifying party (plus any interest, penalties or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 2.20(f), in no event will the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank be required
to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph to the extent the payment of such amount would place the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the indemnification
payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. Nothing in this Section 2.20(f) shall
be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

 

    	 	80	 

     

    

 

(g)           On
or before the date that Barclays Bank PLC (or any successor or replacement Administrative Agent) becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder,
it shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower two duly executed originals of either (i) IRS Form W-9, or (ii) IRS
Form W-8ECI (with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf) and IRS Form W-8IMY (for all other payments),
establishing that the Borrowers can make payments to the Administrative Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by
the United States, including Taxes imposed under FATCA.

 

(h)           For
purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable Law”
includes FATCA.

 

Section 2.21       Assignment
of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate. (a) In the event (i) any Lender or any Issuing Bank
delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or any Issuing Bank delivers
a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any
Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Administrative Borrower
that requires the consent of all Lenders or all Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby and such amendment, waiver or other modification
is consented to by the Required Lenders, or (v) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, in each case, the Administrative
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)(v)),
upon notice to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or such Issuing
Bank to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04),
all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20,
its rights pursuant to Section 9.05 in respect of the period in which it was a Lender (and its rights in respect of any
outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Lender)) and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (iv) above,
all of its interests, rights and obligation with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related
consent, amendment, waiver or other modification) to an Eligible Assignee (which Eligible Assignee (x) may be an Affiliated Lender
only if Section 9.04(k) is complied with and (y) may not be the Administrative Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof)
that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (iv) above, shall consent to such requested amendment,
waiver or other modification of any Loan Documents (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided
that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Administrative Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, of each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender), which consents shall
not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (z) the Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender
or the affected Issuing Bank in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the
date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or L/C Disbursements of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, respectively, plus all Fees and
other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under
Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20; provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the
circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14,
notice under Section 2.15, entitlement to receive amounts pursuant to Section 2.20 or being a Defaulting Lender,
as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or such Issuing Bank to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable
or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts
being payable under Section 2.20, or cease to cause such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be (including
as a result of any action taken by such Lender or such Issuing Bank pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender
or such Issuing Bank shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances
or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20
in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the
case may be, or shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender, then such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall not thereafter be required to make
any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that a Lender that is being replaced
pursuant to this Section 2.21(a) does not execute an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement (or an Affiliated Lender
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement) within one (1) Business Day after being requested to do so, such assignment shall be deemed
to have occurred on such Business Day without such Lender’s execution of such documentation but after satisfaction of the other
conditions set forth herein.

 

    	 	81	 

     

    

 

(b)           If
(i) any Lender or any Issuing Bank shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender or any Issuing
Bank delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.20,
then such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender or such Issuing Bank to incur
an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its legal or regulatory restrictions
or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested
in writing by the Administrative Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another
of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation
under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable
pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by any Lender or any Issuing Bank in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

 

Section 2.22        Defaulting
Lender. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender,
then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

 

(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 in Section 9.08.

 

(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 VII or otherwise) or received
by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.06 shall be applied at such time or times as
may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender
to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender
to the Issuing Banks and Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, on a pro rata basis to cash collateralize each Issuing Bank’s
Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.22(d) and to pay to the Swing
Line Lender its Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Administrative 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 Administrative Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting
Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Issuing
Banks’ and Swing Line Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters
of Credit and Swing Line Loans, if any and as applicable, issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.22(d) (in
the case of Letters of Credit); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of
any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Bank 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 Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained
by any 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 Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully
funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions
set forth in Section 4.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements
owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans
of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and L/C Exposure are held by the Lenders of the
applicable Class pro rata in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Class without giving effect to Section 2.22(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 2.22(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected
by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

    	 	82	 

     

    

 

(iii)          Certain
Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid
to that Defaulting Lender).

 

(B)            Each
Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender
only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided cash collateral
pursuant to Section 2.22(d).

 

(C)            With
respect to any L/C Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above, the
Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender
with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit that have been reallocated
to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee
otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting
Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

 

(iv)         Reallocation
of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all
or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit
shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata
Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does
not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any such Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving
Credit Commitment. Subject to Section 2.28, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any
party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

 

    	 	83	 

     

    

 

(v)           Cash
Collateral and Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot,
or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under
law, cash collateralize any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.22(d) and
repay any Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure by repaying the Swing Line Loans such that such Fronting Exposure is reduced to
zero.

 

(b)          Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Administrative Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank agree in
writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the
effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect
to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders
or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations
in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments (without
giving effect to Section 2.22(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 any 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 Non-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.

 

(c)          New
Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swing Line Lender shall be
required to fund any Swing Line Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter
of Credit except in accordance with Section 2.24(a), in each case unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will
be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders or (in the case of Letters of Credit) cash collateral
will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.24(j), and participating interests in any such newly issued
or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swing Line Loan shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with
Section 2.22(a)(iv) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

 

(d)          Cash
Collateral. (i) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the
written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrowers shall cash collateralize
such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv) and
any cash collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

 

(ii)            Each
Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of each Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash collateral as security
for the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to Section 2.24(j).
If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that cash collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the
Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such cash collateral is less than the Minimum
Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional
cash collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting
Lender).

 

    	 	84	 

     

    

 

(iii)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, cash collateral provided under this Section 2.22 in respect of Letters
of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters
of Credit (including, as to cash collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the cash
collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

 

(iv)           Cash
collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required
to be held as cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting
Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the
Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank that there exists excess cash collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 2.22
the Person providing cash collateral and such Issuing Bank may agree that cash collateral shall be held to support future anticipated
Fronting Exposure or other obligations; and provided, further that to the extent that such cash collateral was provided
by the Borrowers, such cash collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

 

Section 2.23       Swing
Line Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make Swing Line Loans
to the Borrowers, on a joint and several basis as between the Borrowers, from time to time prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date
in Dollars, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (x) the aggregate principal amount
of outstanding Swing Line Loans exceeding the total Swing Line Commitment, (y) the outstanding Swing Line Loans of the Swing Line
Lender exceeding the Swing Line Lender’s Swing Line Commitment or (z) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the
Total Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to make a Swing Line Loan to refinance
an outstanding Swing Line Borrowing. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers
may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swing Line Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.23
or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event that a Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swing Line Lender shall be required
to issue or extend any Swing Line Loan, unless any Fronting Exposure in respect thereof, after giving effect to the extension of such
Swing Line Loan, may be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with Section 2.22(a)(iv) or, if such
reallocation is not available in accordance with such Section, the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it,
in its sole discretion, and the Borrowers to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the participation in Swing
Line Loans by all such Defaulting Lenders, which may include prepaying such Swing Line Loans while any Fronting Exposure exists in relation
thereto.

 

(b)          To
request a Swing Line Borrowing, the Administrative Borrower shall notify the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of such request
by not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time on the day of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing by delivering a Swing Line Borrowing
Request. Each such notice and Swing Line Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the requested date (which
shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of the requested Swing Line Borrowing, (iii) the term of such Swing Line Loan and
(iv) the location and number of the applicable Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed. The Swing Line Lender
shall make each Swing Line Loan in accordance with Section 2.02 on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately
available funds by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the applicable Borrower.

 

    	 	85	 

     

    

 

(c)          Immediately
upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit 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 such Revolving Credit Lender’s
Pro Rata Percentage of such Swing Line Loan. The Swing Line Lender shall deliver the Swing Line Borrowing Request to the Administrative
Agent which shall promptly deliver such Swing Line Borrowing Request to each Revolving Credit Lender. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice of the Swing Line Borrowing Request, to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Swing Line Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swing Line Loan or Loans.
Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its respective obligation to acquire participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant
to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by
wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02 with respect to Loans made
by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the
Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swing Line Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit
Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Administrative Borrower of any participations in any Swing Line Loan acquired pursuant
to this paragraph (c), and thereafter payments by the Borrowers in respect of such Swing Line Loan shall be made to the
Administrative Agent and not to the Swing Line Lender. Any amounts received by a Swing Line Lender from any Borrower (or any other party
on behalf of any Borrower) in respect of a Swing Line Loan after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations
therein shall be remitted promptly to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be remitted
promptly by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and
to the Swing Line Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swing
Line Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrowers
for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers of any
default in the payment thereof otherwise expressly provided herein.

 

(d)          At
any time after any Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lender its Pro
Rata Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender. 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 to any Borrower by the Swing Line Lender under
any circumstances (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Credit
Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata 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 Effective 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.

Section 2.24        Letters
of Credit. (a) General. The Administrative Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (which may be
at the request of another Loan Party), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at
any time and from time to time on or prior to the date immediately preceding the termination of the L/C Commitment in accordance with
Section 2.09(a). This Section shall not be construed to impose an obligation upon any Issuing Bank to issue any Letter
of Credit that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 2.24 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event that a Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no
Issuing Bank shall be required to issue or extend any Letter of Credit, as applicable, unless any Fronting Exposure in respect thereof,
after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit, may be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with Section 2.22(a)(iv) or,
if such reallocation is not available in accordance with such Section, each Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to
it, in its sole discretion, and the Administrative Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation
in Letters of Credit by all such Defaulting Lenders, which may include by cash collateralizing (in an amount not less than the Minimum
Collateral Amount) each such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each Letter of Credit issued or outstanding while such
Defaulting Lender remains a Defaulting Lender. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and
from and after the Eighth Amendment Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

 

(b)          Notice
of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions.  (i) In order to request the issuance
of a Letter of Credit (or to amend, renew or extend an existing Letter of Credit), the Administrative Borrower shall hand deliver or
fax to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least five (5) Business
Days (or such shorter period as such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion)
prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be) an L/C Extension Notice together with such Issuing Bank’s
Letter of Credit application form (if any), appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Borrower
and including agreed-upon draft language for such Letter of Credit reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, or identifying
the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business
Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) below), the amount
of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case
of any drawing thereunder, the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, the
nature of the proposed amendment (in the case of an amendment), any Letter of Credit application form required by the applicable Issuing
Bank and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended,
renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit each Borrower shall be deemed
to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (x) the Aggregate Revolving
Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued
by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed its L/C Commitment.

 

(ii)           No
Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

 

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

 

(B)            the
issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally;

 

    	 	87	 

     

    

 

(C)            except
as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than
$10,000;

 

(D)            such
Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or

 

(E)             such
Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

 

(iii)          No
Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to amend or extend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Bank 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 such Letter of
Credit does not accept the proposed amendment thereto.

 

(iv) (iv)    No
Issuing Bank other than a Commercial L/C Issuing Bank shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit that is not a standby letter of
credit unless such Issuing Bank shall otherwise agree in its sole discretion.

 

(c)          Expiration
Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at the close of business on the earlier of the date one year after the date of
the issuance of such Letter of Credit and the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity
Date, unless such Letter of Credit expires by its terms on an earlier date; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit
may, upon the request of the Administrative Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically
for additional consecutive periods of 12 months or less (but not beyond the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least 30 days (or such longer period
as may be specified in such Letter of Credit and as agreed by the Issuing Bank) prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such
Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

 

(d)          Participations.
By the issuance of a Letter of Credit and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such
Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation
in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter
of Credit, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving
Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing
Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers
(or, if applicable, another party pursuant to its obligations under any other Loan Document) forthwith on the date due as provided in
Section 2.02(f). Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant
to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset,
abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

 

(e)           Reimbursement.
If any Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative
Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day
after any Borrower shall have received notice from such Issuing Bank that payment of such draft will be made; provided that if
the Issuing Bank notifies any Borrower of such L/C Disbursement prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of such L/C Disbursement,
the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on such date.

 

    	 	88	 

     

    

 

(f)            Obligations
Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligations to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) above
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under
any and all circumstances whatsoever, and irrespective of:

 

(i)            any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

 

(ii)           any
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

 

(iii)          the
existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with,
any Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter
of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

 

(iv)          any
draft or other document presented under a 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;

 

(v)           payment
by the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit; and

 

(vi)          any
other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the applicable Issuing Bank, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other
Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions
of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

 

Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to
reimburse L/C Disbursements will not be excused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Issuing Bank. However,
the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages
(as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable
law) suffered by the Borrowers that are determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in determining whether drafts and other documents presented under
a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. It is further understood and agreed that the applicable Issuing Bank may accept documents
that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to
the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, (i) such Issuing Bank’s exclusive
reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance
on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals
the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any
respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented
pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect
whatsoever and (ii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the
terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank.

 

    	 	89	 

     

    

 

(g)          Disbursement
Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank shall, within the period stipulated by terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit,
following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. After
such examination and provided drawing document(s) are compliant with the related Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall as promptly
as possible give telephonic notification, confirmed by fax, to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower of such demand
for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give
or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit
Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

 

(h)          Interim
Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, then,
unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on such date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest for the
account of such Issuing Bank, for each day from and including the date of such L/C Disbursement, to but excluding the earlier of the
date of payment by the Borrowers or the date on which interest shall commence to accrue thereon as provided in Section 2.02(f),
at the rate per annum that would apply to such amount if such amount were an ABR Revolving Loan.

 

(i)           Resignation
or Removal of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Administrative Borrower, and may be removed at any time by the Administrative Borrower by
notice to such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders, in each case, irrespective of the appointment
of a successor Issuing Bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve
as a successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of such
retiring or removed Issuing Bank (other than with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such retiring or removed Issuing Bank). At the
time such removal or resignation shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees due to such Issuing Bank
pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(ii). The acceptance of any appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Lender shall
be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations
of such previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents other than with respect to Letters of Credit issued by
such retiring Issuing Bank and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall
be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context
shall require. After the resignation or removal of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and
shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect
to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or removal, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

 

    	 	90	 

     

    

 

(j)           Cash
Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Borrowers shall, on the Business Day the
Administrative Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Credit Lenders holding participations in outstanding
Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit of the amount to
be deposited, deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal
to the Minimum Collateral Amount; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash will become effective immediately, and such
deposit will become immediately payable in immediately available funds, without demand or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default described in paragraph (g) or (h) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held
by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion
and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such
deposits in Permitted Investments, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, such deposits
shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall
(i) automatically be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which
it has not been reimbursed, (ii) be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the L/C Exposure
at such time and (iii) if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders
holding participations in outstanding Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder
as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the applicable
Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

 

(k)           Additional
Issuing Banks. The Administrative Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative
Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act
as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement, subject to reporting requirements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent with respect to issuances, amendments, extensions and terminations of Letters of Credit by such additional issuing bank. Any Lender
designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Bank” (in addition
to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit,
such term shall thereafter apply to such Issuing Bank and such Lender. Upon the appointment of an additional Issuing Bank, the Borrowers,
the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks may amend this Agreement without the consent of any other party hereto to change the L/C
Commitments of the Issuing Banks.

 

Section 2.25      Incremental
Facilities. (a) The Borrowers (on a joint and several basis as between the Borrowers) may, by written notice to the Administrative
Agent from time to time, request Incremental Loan Commitments from one or more Incremental Term Lenders or Incremental Revolving Lenders,
as applicable, all of which must be Eligible Assignees (which Eligible Assignee may not be the Administrative Borrower or a Subsidiary
thereof but may, solely in the case of Incremental Term Loan Commitments, be an Affiliated Lender or an Affiliate that becomes an Affiliated
Lender as a result of such transaction (but only if Section 9.04(k) is complied with)), so long as at the time such
Incremental Loan Commitments become effective and, in the case of Incremental Term Loans, at the time any Incremental Loans in respect
thereof are incurred (after giving effect on a pro forma basis to the incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans, and in each case assuming
for the purpose of this calculation that the proceeds of such Incremental Term Loans are not treated as Unrestricted Cash for such purpose
and assuming for such purpose that any such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments are fully drawn in the form of Loans and that the
proceeds thereof are not treated as Unrestricted Cash for such purpose), the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Loan Commitments
and (without duplication) Incremental Loans does not exceed the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount. Such notice shall set forth (i) the
amount of the Incremental Loan Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $2,500,000 and a minimum amount of
$10,000,000, such lesser amount equal to the remaining Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount or such other amounts as the Administrative
Agent may reasonably agree to), (ii) the date (an “Increased Amount Date”) on which such Incremental
Loan Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 Business Days nor more than 60 days after
the date of such notice (or such other number of days as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree to)) and (iii) whether such
Incremental Term Loan Commitments are commitments to make term loans with terms different from any other then existing Term Loans (“Other
Term Loans”).

 

    	 	91	 

     

    

 

 

(b)           The
Borrowers may seek Incremental Loan Commitments from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate
in its sole discretion) or any other bank, financial institution or other institutional lender or investor (each of which must be an
Eligible Assignee) that agrees to provide any portion of Incremental Loan Commitments (each, an “Additional Incremental Lender”)
(provided that (i) the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Bank shall have consented (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such Lender’s or Additional Incremental Lender’s making such Incremental Loan
Commitments to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans
or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Incremental Lender, (ii) an Affiliated Lender may provide Incremental
Term Loan Commitments or Incremental Term Loans only if Section 9.04(k) is complied with, but may not provide Incremental
Revolving Loan Commitments or Incremental Revolving Loans and (iii) the Administrative Borrower and its Subsidiaries may not make
Incremental Loan Commitments or Incremental Loans). The Borrowers and each Incremental Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative
Agent an Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement and/or Incremental Revolving Loan Assumption Agreement, as applicable, and such other
documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Loan Commitment of each Incremental Lender.
The terms and provisions of the Incremental Revolving Loans shall be identical to those of the Revolving Loans. All Incremental Revolving
Loan Commitments shall be documented solely as an increase to the Revolving Credit Commitments and all Incremental Revolving Loans shall
be identical to all Revolving Loans, other than in respect of any arrangement, commitment or upfront fees payable to any Incremental
Revolving Lenders or any arranger appointed in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any Incremental Term Loans
(x) shall be secured on a pari passu basis with the Revolving Loans, (y) shall not be guaranteed by any person that
is not a Guarantor and (z) shall not be secured by any assets which do not constitute Collateral, (ii) the final maturity
date of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no earlier than the Revolving Maturity date, (iii) such Incremental Term Loans do not
mature or have scheduled amortization or payments of principal (other than, in any case, amortization at a rate of no more than 1% per
annum) prior to the date that is the Latest Maturity Date at the time such Incremental Term Loans are incurred, (iv) no Incremental
Term Loans shall have the benefit of any financial maintenance covenant more restrictive than the covenant set forth in Section 6.10
hereof unless the Revolving Loans have the benefit of such financial maintenance covenant on the same terms, (v) the definitive
documentation for such Incremental Term Loans shall not include other covenants, (excluding interest rate, original issue discounts,
fees and prepayment premiums) taken as a whole, that are materially more onerous to the Borrowers and the Guarantors than the covenants
for the Revolving Loans provided for in this Agreement, taken as a whole, unless the Revolving Loans have the benefit of such covenants
on the same terms and (vi) the other terms and conditions applicable to such Incremental Term Loans (other than provisions related
to maturity, amortization, interest margins, fees or prepayments) may not differ from those with respect to the Revolving Loans, as applicable,
unless such terms and conditions are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement or Incremental Revolving Loan Assumption Agreement,
as applicable. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Loan Assumption Agreement
or Incremental Revolving Loan Assumption Agreement, as applicable, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to
the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Loan Commitment and the Incremental Loans evidenced thereby,
and the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may revise this Agreement to evidence such amendments.

 

    	 	92	 

     

    

 

(c)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Incremental Loan Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.25 unless on the date of such
effectiveness, (i) the Administrative Borrower is in Financial Covenant Compliance (after giving effect on a pro forma basis to
the incurrence of any such Incremental Term Loans, and in each case assuming for the purpose of this calculation that the proceeds of
such Incremental Term Loans are not treated as Unrestricted Cash for such purpose and assuming for such purpose that any such Incremental
Revolving Loan Commitments are fully drawn in the form of Loans and that the proceeds thereof are not treated as Unrestricted Cash for
such purpose), (ii) the conditions set forth in Sections 4.01(b) and 4.01(c) shall be satisfied and the
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Administrative
Borrower; provided that, if the proceeds of any Incremental Term Loan Commitments are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or
Permitted Drop-Down Acquisition, (x) the reference in Section 4.01(b) to the accuracy of
the representations and warranties shall refer to the accuracy of only the representations and warranties that would constitute Specified
Representations and the representations and warranties in the relevant acquisition agreement the failure of which to be true shall permit
the buyer not to consummate the Permitted Acquisition or Permitted Drop-Down Acquisition,
(y) Section 4.01(c) shall be limited to there being no Default or Event of Default under paragraph (b),
(c), (g) or (h) of Article VII having occurred and continuing after giving effect to such
Incremental Loan Commitments and (z) the date of determination for purposes of testing Financial Covenant Compliance under clause
(i) above shall be deemed to be the date on which the definitive agreements for such Permitted Acquisition or
Permitted Drop-Down Acquisition are entered into, (iii) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental
Term Loan Assumption Agreement and/or Incremental Revolving Loan Assumption Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received legal
opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those
delivered on the Original Closing Date under Section 4.02, (iv) the Administrative Agent and each applicable Lender
(other than any Defaulting Lender) shall have received all fees and expenses owed under this Agreement (including in respect of such
Incremental Loan Commitments); and (v) the Borrowers shall have satisfied all Mortgage Modification Requirements.

 

(d)           Each
of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Administrative Borrower, take any and
all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Revolving Loans, when originally made, are included in each
Borrowing of outstanding Revolving Loans, on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by requiring each outstanding EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing to be converted into an ABR Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Revolving Loan, or by allocating
a portion of each Incremental Revolving Loan to each outstanding EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing on a pro rata basis. Any conversion of EurodollarTerm
SOFR Loans to ABR Loans required by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.16. If any Incremental
Revolving Loan is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a EurodollarTerm
SOFR Borrowing, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall
be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Revolving Loan Assumption Agreement.

 

(e)           On
any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing
terms and conditions, (i) each of the existing Revolving Credit Lenders shall assign to each of the Incremental Revolving Lenders,
and each of the Incremental Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each of the existing Revolving Credit Lenders, at the principal amount
thereof, such interests in the outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans outstanding on
such Increased Amount Date that will result in, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participations
in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans being held by existing Revolving Credit Lenders and Incremental Revolving Lenders ratably in
accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental Revolving Loan Commitments
to the Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) each Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving
Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and have the same terms as any existing
Revolving Loan and (iii) each Incremental Revolving Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments
and all matters relating thereto.

 

(f)           The
proceeds of any Incremental Loans shall be used for the purposes specified in the introductory statement to this Agreement.

 

    	 	93	 

     

    

 

Section 2.26       Extension
Amendments. (a) The Borrowers (on a joint and several basis as between the Borrowers) may at any time and from time to
time request that all or a portion of any of the Commitments or the Loans (including any Extended Loans), existing at the time of such
request (any such Commitment, an “Existing Commitment” and any such existing outstanding Loans, the “Existing
Loans”) be converted to extend, in the case of Commitments, the termination date thereof and, in the case of Loans, the
scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion thereof (any such Existing Commitment which
has been so extended, an “Extended Commitment” and any such Existing Loan whose scheduled maturity date(s) has
or have been so extended, in the case of a Term Loan, an “Extended Term Loan”, in the case of a Revolving Loan,
an “Extended Revolving Loan” and collectively, the “Extended Loans”) and to provide
for other terms consistent with this Section 2.26. In order to establish any Extended Commitment, the Administrative Borrower
shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable
Existing Commitment) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Commitment to
be established, which terms (other than as provided in clause (c) below) shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing
Commitment from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Commitment”) except (x) all or
any of the final maturity/termination dates of such Extended Commitment shall be delayed to later dates than the final maturity/termination
dates of the Specified Existing Commitment, (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Commitment may be higher
or lower than the interest margins for the Specified Existing Commitment and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders
providing such Extended Commitment in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and
(z) the commitment fee, if any, with respect to the Extended Commitment may be higher or lower than the commitment fee, if any,
for the Specified Existing Commitment, in each case to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.26 or otherwise, (1) no Extended Commitment shall be secured
by or receive the benefit of any collateral, credit support or security that does not secure or support the Existing Commitments, (2) the
repayment (other than in connection with a permanent voluntary prepayment or a repayment at the final scheduled maturity of any Term
Loans that have not become Extended Term Loans) and the mandatory prepayment of any Extended Term Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis
with all other outstanding Term Loans and Other Term Loans; provided, that, Extended Term Loans may, if the Extending Lenders
making such Extended Term Loans so agree, participate on a less than pro rata basis in any voluntary or mandatory repayment or prepayment,
(3) (x) the final maturity of any Extended Loans shall not be earlier than any Loans made under the applicable Specified
Existing Commitment in respect thereof and (y) if such Extended Loans are term loans made under a term facility, the Extended Loans

respect thereof, (4) each Lender in the Specified Existing Commitment shall be permitted to participate in the Extended Commitment
in accordance with its pro rata share of the Specified Existing Commitment, (5) assignments and participations of Extended Commitments
shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Loans and Commitments hereunder as set forth in Section 9.04
and (6) the repayment (other than in connection with a permanent voluntary prepayment) and the mandatory prepayment of any
Extended Revolving Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other outstanding Revolving Loans (other than at the maturity of
any Revolving Credit Commitments that have not been extended, at which point the maturing Revolving Loans associated therewith may be
repaid without making a pro rata payment of any non-maturing Revolving Loans). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any
of its Existing Loans or, if applicable, commitments of any Existing Commitment converted into an Extended Commitment or Extended Loan
pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Commitment shall constitute a separate Class from the Specified Existing Commitments
and from any other Existing Commitments (together with any other Extended Commitments with the same maturity date so established on such
date). Any Extended Revolving Loan or Extended Term Loan shall constitute a separate Class from the Existing Loans (together with
any other Extended Revolving Loans or Extended Term Loans, as applicable, with the same maturity date so established on such date).

 

    	 	94	 

     

    

 

(b)           The
Administrative Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which
Lenders under the applicable Class of Existing Commitments or Existing Loans are requested to respond. Any applicable Lender (an
 “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Specified Existing Commitment converted into an
Extended Commitment or Existing Loans converted into Extended Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension
Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Specified Existing Commitment
and/or Existing Loans that it has elected to convert into an Extended Commitment or Extended Loans, as the case may be. In the event
that the aggregate amount of the Specified Existing Commitment and/or Existing Loans subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount
of Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, the Specified Existing Commitment and/or Existing
Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans on a pro rata basis based on the
amount of Specified Existing Commitments and/or Existing Loans included in each such Extension Election.

 

(c)            Extended
Commitments and Extended Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to
this Agreement (which may include amendments to provisions related to maturity, amortization, interest margins, fees or prepayments referenced
in Section 2.26(a) and which, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.08, shall
not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Commitments and/or Extended Loans
established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Extending Lenders. No Extension Amendment shall
provide for any tranche of Extended Commitments or tranche of Extended Loans in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $50,000,000
and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent; provided, further,
that (x) no Extension Amendment may provide for any Extended Commitment or Extended Loans to be secured by any Collateral or other
assets of any Loan Party that does not also secure the Existing Commitments or Existing Loans and (y) the other terms and conditions
applicable to such Extended Loans or Extended Commitments (other than provisions related to maturity, amortization, interest margins,
fees or prepayments (which may provide for a less than ratable amount of any mandatory prepayment vis-à-vis the Existing Loans
and Existing Commitments but not a more than ratable amount of any mandatory prepayment vis-à-vis the Existing Loans and Existing
Commitments) may not differ from those with respect to the Existing Loans or Existing Commitments, as applicable, unless such terms and
conditions only apply after the Latest Maturity Date or, if more favorable to the Extending Lenders than the corresponding terms are
to the Lenders under the Specified Existing Commitments, may apply to such Specified Existing Commitments and the Loans related thereto.
It is understood and agreed that each Lender has consented for all purposes requiring its consent, and shall at the effective time thereof
be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Section 2.26 and
the arrangements described above in connection therewith. In connection with any Extension Amendment, if requested by the Administrative
Agent, the Borrowers shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to the enforceability of
such Extension Amendment, this Agreement as amended thereby, the security interests in respect of the Extended Loans and Extended Commitments
and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby and that the existing security interest of the Collateral Agent
shall not be adversely affected thereby.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) on any date on which any Existing Commitment is converted to extend the
related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with clause (a) above (an “Extension Date”),
in the case of the Specified Existing Commitment of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such Specified Existing
Commitment shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Commitment so converted by such Lender
on such date, and such Extended Commitments shall be established as a separate Commitment and Class from the Specified Existing
Commitment and from any other Existing Commitments (together with any other Extended Commitment so established on such date) and (B) if,
on any Extension Date, any Revolving Loans of any Extending Lender are outstanding under this Agreement, such Loans (and any related
participations) shall be deemed to be allocated as Existing Loans (and related participations) and Extended Revolving Loans (and related
participations) in the same proportion as such Extending Lender’s applicable Specified Existing Commitments bear to the applicable
Extended Commitments so converted by such Lender on such date.

 

    	 	95	 

     

    

 

(e)           If,
in connection with any proposed Extension Amendment, any Lender declines to consent to the applicable extension on the terms and by the
deadline set forth in the applicable Extension Request (each such Lender, a “Non-Extending Lender”) then the
Administrative Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative and the Non-Extending Lender, replace such Non-Extending Lender by causing
such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 9.04 (with the assignment fee and any
other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrowers in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one
or more assignees; provided, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrowers to
obtain a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to provide Loans and/or
a commitment on the terms set forth in such Extension Amendment; and provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrowers
owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full at par by the assignee Lender
to such Non-Extending Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 2.26,
if the Non-Extending Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or
any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (x) the date on which the replacement Lender executes
and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (y) the date as of which all obligations of the
Borrowers owing to the Non-Extending Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full in cash by the
assignee Lender to such Non-Extending Lender, then such Non-Extending Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment
and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Administrative Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated)
to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Extending Lender.

 

(f)           This
Section 2.26 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.17, Section 2.18 or Section 9.08
to the contrary.

by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans.

without the consent of any Lenders other than those that may be providing the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, to the extent

pursuant thereto and (ii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate,
in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.27,
and the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment.

 

(e)           This
Section 2.27 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.17, Section 2.18 or Section 9.08
to the contrary.

by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor
for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such

(other than an Excluded Subsidiary) or (z) any Project Finance Subsidiary or Project Finance Holding Company which is a Wholly

Subsidiary) to become a Guarantor and a Grantor (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) under the Guarantee and Collateral
Agreement by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agent a counterpart agreement or supplement to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
in accordance with its terms, and (b) within 30 days after such event (or such longer period of time reasonably acceptable to the

Subsidiary) that owns the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary to, within 45 days of such event (or such longer period of time reasonably

the pledged Person, in not more than 65% of the voting, and 100% of the non-voting, Equity Interests of such First-Tier Foreign Subsidiary
or FSHCO. With respect to each such Subsidiary, the Administrative Borrower shall, within 15 Business Days of such event (or such longer
period of time reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent), send to Administrative Agent written notice
setting forth with respect to such Person (i) the date on which such Person became a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary (that is
not an Excluded Subsidiary) of the Administrative Borrower or was converted into a Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) all of the data
required to be set forth in Schedules 3.01 and 3.08 with respect to all Subsidiaries, and such written notice shall be

Equity Interests constituting Excluded Property (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement).

(d)           In
the event that any Loan Party acquires Material Owned Real Property, any Unrestricted Subsidiary that owns Material Owned Real Property
is converted into a Restricted Subsidiary and becomes or is required to become a Loan Party after the Original Closing Date, any Project
Finance Subsidiary or Project Finance Holding Company that owns Material Owned Real Property ceases to be a Project Finance Subsidiary
or Project Finance Holding Company, or any Real Property of a Loan Party becomes Material Owned Real Property after the Original Closing
Date, and such interest in such Material Owned Real Property has not otherwise been made subject to the Lien of the Security Documents

and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such Mortgages, documents, instruments, agreements, opinions and certificates,
including those which are similar to those described in Section 4.02(e) with respect to each such Material Owned Real
Property, that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, a valid and, subject to any filing and/or recording referred to herein, perfected first priority (subject only to Permitted
Encumbrances) security interest in such Material Owned Real Property. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrowers shall, at the request
of the Collateral Agent, deliver, from time to time, to the Collateral Agent such appraisals as are required by applicable law or regulation
of Material Owned Real Property with respect to which the Collateral Agent has been granted a Lien.

Finance Subsidiary or Project Finance Holding Company that owns Material Leased Real Property ceases to be a Project Finance Subsidiary
or Project Finance Holding Company or any Real Property of a Loan Party becomes Material Leased Real Property after the Original Closing

therein, and such designation will only be permitted if such Investment is permitted under Section 6.04. The designation
of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Liens and Investments

and such designation will only be permitted if such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 6.01, such Liens are permitted
under Section 6.02 and such Investments are permitted by Section 6.04.

 

(b)           Any
designation of a Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be evidenced to the Administrative Agent by delivering to the Administrative
Agent a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Administrative Borrower certifying that such designation complied with the
applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.14(a).

 

(c)            If,
at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary should fail to meet the preceding requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter
cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for the purposes of this Agreement and any Indebtedness, Liens and Investments of such Subsidiary
will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date and, if such Indebtedness, Liens and Investments are not permitted
to be incurred as of such date under Section 6.01, Section 6.02 or Section 6.04, as applicable,
the Borrowers will be in default of such covenants.

    	 	133	 

     

    

 

Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Article VII, for purposes of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred under
the Financial Covenants, any equity contribution (in the form of preferred, common or subordinated equity other than Disqualified Stock)
contributed to the Administrative Borrower after the last day of any fiscal quarter and on or prior to the day that is 10 Business Days
after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered for that fiscal quarter will, at the request of the Administrative
Borrower, be included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA solely for the purposes of determining compliance with the Financial
Covenants at the end of such fiscal quarter and any subsequent period that includes such fiscal quarter (any such equity contribution,
a “Specified Equity Contribution”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) there shall
be no pro forma reduction in Indebtedness with the proceeds of any Specified Equity Contribution for purposes of determining compliance
with the Financial Covenants for the fiscal quarter in respect of which such Specified Equity Contribution is made, (b) the amounts
of any Specified Equity Contribution shall not exceed the Cure Amount, (c) Specified Equity Contributions shall be disregarded
for all other purposes under the Loan Documents (including calculating Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of determining basket levels,
the Available Amount and other items governed by reference to Consolidated EBITDA) and (d) in any four consecutive fiscal quarters,
there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in respect of which no Specified Equity Contribution is made, and no more than five (5) Specified
Equity Contributions (in the aggregate) may be made during the term of this Agreement. “Cure Amount” shall
mean an amount which, if added to Consolidated EBITDA for the Applicable Period in respect of which a Financial Covenants default occurred,
would cause the Financial Covenants for such Applicable Period to be satisfied and shall not be any more than the amount so required
(it being understood and agreed that for the purposes of calculating such amount, no effect shall be given to any prepayment of Loans
with such proceeds or to any other reduction of Total Debt on account of the receipt of such proceeds). For
the avoidance of doubt, from and after any default in the due observance and performance of the Financial Covenants, no Agent or Lender
shall be required to make any Loan or issue, amend, extend or renew any Letter of Credit, in each case, prior to the date such default
has been cured in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.

 

Article VIII

 

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent;
Etc.

 

Each Lender and each Issuing
Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent
are referred to collectively as the “Agents”) its agent hereunder and under the Loan Documents and authorizes
the Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VIII are solely
for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and the Borrowers shall have no rights as a third-party beneficiary
of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents
(or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, 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. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to (i) execute any and all documents (including
releases and the Security Documents (which Security Documents shall contain indemnity and expense reimbursement provisions for the benefit
of the Collateral Agent that are no more onerous to the Lenders than the provisions contained in the Security Documents as of the Fourth
Amendment Effective Date and shall be binding on the Lenders)) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with
respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents and (ii) negotiate,
enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, at the direction of the Required Lenders,
which negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender.

The Person serving as the
Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral 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 an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless
otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual
capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or
in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Administrative Borrower or any Subsidiary or
other Affiliate thereof (subject to securities law and other requirements of law) as if it were not an Agent hereunder and without any
duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

Neither Agent shall have
any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any
fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have
any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated
hereby or under any Loan Document that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided
that neither Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, (i) may expose
such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law or (ii) may be in violation of the automatic
stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation
of any Debtor Relief Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose,
nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Administrative Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries
that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in
any capacity. Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall
be necessary, under the circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice
thereof is given to such Agent by the Administrative Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty
to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith,
(iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document
or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV
or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

 

    	 	135	 

     

    

 

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

 

Each 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 it. Each 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 the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the
Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication
of the Credit Facilities as well as activities as Agent. Neither Agent shall 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 such Agent acted with
gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

 

Either Agent may resign at
any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders
shall have the right, in consultation with the Administrative Borrower, to appoint a successor which shall be any financial institution
with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution, that has a combined capital and surplus and
undivided profits of not less than $500,000,000. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may,
on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a financial institution with an office in New
York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Agent, such Agent’s resignation
shall nonetheless become effective (and such Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder) and the Lenders shall
thereafter perform all the duties of such Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Any such resignation by such Agent hereunder
shall also constitute, to the extent applicable, its resignation as a Swing Line Lender and as an Issuing Bank, in which case such resigning
Agent (x) shall not be required to extend any further Swing Line Loans or issue any further Letters of Credit hereunder and (y) shall
maintain all of its rights as Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it or Swing Line Loans
extended by it, as applicable, prior to the date of such resignation. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent,
and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided
above). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise
agreed between the Administrative Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII
and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 acting as Agent.

 

    	 	136	 

     

    

 

Each Lender and each Issuing
Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents 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 Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents 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 or any other Loan Document, any
related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each of the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents and the Co-Documentation
Agents are named as such for recognition purposes only, and in their respective capacities as such shall have no duties, responsibilities
or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; it being understood and agreed that each of the Arrangers,
the Co-Syndication Agents and the Co-Documentation Agents shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor
of the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents, including under Section 9.05 hereunder. Without limitation
of the foregoing, none of the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents and the Co-Documentation Agents in their respective capacities as
such shall, by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender, any Borrower,
any other Loan Party, or any other Person.

 

In case of the pendency of
any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Administrative Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
each Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether such Agent shall have made any demand on the Loan Parties) shall be entitled and empowered (but
not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal
and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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 Issuing Banks and the Agents (including any claim for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel
and all other amounts due the Lenders and Agents under Section 9.05) 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, in either
case, any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding
is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party to make such payments to such Agent and, in the event
that such Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to such Agent any
amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due such Agent under Section 9.05.

 

    	 	137	 

     

    

 

The Secured Parties irrevocably
authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (i) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held
by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (x) upon termination of all Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations
(other than contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations to the extent no unsatisfied claim with respect thereto has been
asserted), the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit that have been cash collateralized in
a manner satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank or as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank have
been made) and the termination of (and making of all payments due by the Loan Parties in connection with) all Secured Hedging Agreements
(or the making of other arrangements reasonably acceptable to the applicable Qualified Counterparty), (y) that is (i) owned
by, or is an Equity Interest in, a Restricted Subsidiary that (A) is converted into an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with
the terms hereof or (B) ceases to be a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder in accordance
with the terms hereof (provided that, the release of any Lien pursuant to this subclause (B) on the property of or
Equity Interests in any Person that was a Restricted Subsidiary on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date shall only be permitted if at
the time such Person ceases to be a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary (1) no Event of Default pursuant to paragraphs (b), (c), (g) or
(h) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing or would otherwise result therefrom, (2) both immediately before
and after the time on which the definitive documentation for the transaction pursuant to which such Person shall cease to be a Wholly
Owned Domestic Subsidiary was entered and giving pro forma effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing or result therefrom and (3) after giving pro forma effect to such release and the consummation of the transaction that
causes such Person to cease to be a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary, the Administrative Borrower is deemed to have made a new Investment
in such Person (which such Person shall, for purposes of determining the permissibility of such Investment, be deemed not to be a Loan
Party) in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such Person attributable to any Borrower’s
or any other Loan Party’s equity interest therein and such Investment is permitted pursuant to Section 6.04) or (ii) sold
or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, in each case
to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Borrower (other than sales to Affiliates as a result of a transaction permitted
hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof), or (z) subject to Section 9.08, if approved, authorized or ratified
in writing by the Required Lenders or all Lenders (as applicable); (ii) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held
by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(i);
and (iii) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Security Documents
if such Person ceases to be a Guarantor as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (including the sale or other disposition of
the Equity Interests of any Person, the conversion of a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor into an Unrestricted Subsidiary or
if such Guarantor ceases to be a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary pursuant to a transaction permitted hereunder in accordance with the
terms hereof); provided that, such release pursuant to this clause (iii) of any Person that was a Guarantor on the
Fourth Amendment Effective Date Guarantor as a result of such Person ceasing to be a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary shall only be permitted
if at the time such Person ceases to be a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary (1) no Event of Default pursuant to paragraphs (b),
(c), (g) or (h) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing or would otherwise result therefrom, (2) both immediately
before and after the time on which the definitive documentation for the transaction pursuant to which such Person shall cease to be a
Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary was entered and giving pro forma effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing or result therefrom and (3) after giving pro forma effect to such release and the consummation of the transaction
that causes such Person to cease to be a Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary, the Administrative Borrower is deemed to have made a new Investment
in such Person for purposes of Section 6.04 in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets
of such Person attributable to any Borrower’s or any other Loan Party’s equity interest therein and such Investment is permitted
pursuant to Section 6.04. 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 pursuant to this paragraph or
to release any Guarantor from the obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Security Document. The Collateral
Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence,
value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any
certificate prepared by any Borrower in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders
for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

 

    	 	138	 

     

    

 

Anything contained in any
of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Secured
Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce
the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of
the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may
be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in
the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private
sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or
otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to
Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of
any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the
Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions
from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of
the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price
for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

 

To the extent required by
any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding
Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from
such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the IRS or any other Governmental Authority,
or the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts
paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such
Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding
Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or
indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax, or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including
legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the IRS or such other Governmental Authority.

    	 	140	 

     

    

 

Each Borrower agrees that
the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications available to the Lenders
and the Issuing Banks by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic
transmission system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.”
The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and their respective Related Parties do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and
expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including,
without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom
from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any of their respective Related Parties
in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any of their
respective Related Parties have any liability to any Borrower or any Subsidiary, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages
of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether
in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s, any Subsidiary’s or the Administrative Agent’s or the
Collateral Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
judgment. “Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or
other material that any Borrower or any Subsidiary provides to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Loan
Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or to any
Lender or Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section 9.01, including through the Platform.

 

Each Borrower hereby acknowledges
that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank materials and/or information provided
by or on behalf of any Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower
Materials on the Platform and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do
not wish to receive Material Non-Public Information with respect to any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their securities) (each, a
 “Public Lender”). Each Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available
to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC”
shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrowers
shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Lenders, and Issuing Banks to treat such Borrower Materials
as not containing any Material Non-Public Information with respect to any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their securities for purposes
of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute
Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 9.16); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC”
are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable
only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following
Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Administrative Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly
that any such document contains Material Non-Public Information: (1) the Loan Documents and (2) notification of changes in
the terms of the Loan Documents.

 

Each Public Lender agrees
to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information”
or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance
with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws,
to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform
and that may contain Material Non-Public Information with respect to any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their securities for purposes
of United States Federal or state securities laws.

 

    	 	141	 

     

    

 

The Administrative Agent
agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective
delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice
to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective
delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent
in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice
may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

 

Nothing herein shall prejudice
the right of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to give any notice or other communication
pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

 

Section 9.02        Survival
of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates
or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered
to have been relied upon by the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and
the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Issuing Banks, regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders or the Issuing Banks or on
their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any Fee
or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding
(unless arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank shall have been made with respect to such Letter of Credit) and so long
as the Commitments have not been terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.16, 2.20, 9.05 and Article VIII
shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the expiration of any
Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank. Section 9.16 shall
remain operative and in full force and effect until one year following the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.03        Binding
Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative
Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each
of the other parties hereto.

 

Section 9.04        Successors
and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (x) neither Borrower may delegate, assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each
Lender and any such attempted transfer or assignment without such consent shall be null and void and (y) no Lender may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of
this Section 9.04, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (f) of
this Section 9.04, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the provisions of paragraph (i) of
this Section 9.04. Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer
upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, the Protected Persons, Participants
to the extent provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 9.04 and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or
equitable right, remedy, obligation, liability or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(b)          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 at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject
to the following conditions:

 

(i)          (A) in
the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing
to it (in each case with respect to any Class) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount
specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 9.04 in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a
Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned and (B) in
any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section 9.04, the aggregate amount of the Commitment
(which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding
principal balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance
(or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance) with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent, shall not
be less than (x) $5,000,000 (or lesser amounts if agreed between the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent) with
respect to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans and (y) $1,000,000 (or such lesser amounts if agreed between the Administrative
Borrower and the Administrative Agent) with respect to the Term Loan Commitments and the Term Loans;

 

(ii)         except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, each of the Administrative Agent (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, so long as no Event of Default in respect of paragraphs (b), (c), (g) or
(h) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Borrower shall have consented to such
assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and provided that the Administrative Borrower shall be
deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Administrative Borrower shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative
Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof);

 

(iii)        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 Commitment and/or Loans assigned;

 

(iv)        in
the case of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans, the prior consent of each Swing Line Lender and Issuing Bank (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for all assignments;

 

(v)         the
parties to each assignment shall either (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance or an
Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent
or (B) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment
and Acceptance or an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, in the case of clauses (A) and (B),
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion,
elect to waive or reduce 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 (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts
to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain Material Non-Public Information about any Borrower, any Subsidiary or their
respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance
procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws) and all applicable tax forms;

 

    	 	143	 

     

    

 

(vi)        no
such assignment shall be made (A) to the Administrative Borrower or any of the Administrative Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries
(other than an assignment to (x) an Affiliated Lender pursuant to paragraph (k) of this Section 9.04
or (y) any Borrower pursuant to paragraph (l) of this Section 9.04) or (B) to any Defaulting Lender
or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described
in this clause (B);

 

(vii)       no
such assignment shall be made to a natural Person; and

 

(viii)      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 sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent
of the Administrative 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 (and accrued interest thereon) then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each
Issuing Bank, each other Lender hereunder and the Borrowers and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of
all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without
compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all
purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance or an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, the assignee thereunder
shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance or an Affiliated Lender
Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, 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 Acceptance or an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance,
as applicable, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance or an Affiliated
Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16,
2.20, and 9.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment
or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph (b) of this
Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights
and obligations in accordance with paragraph (f) of this Section 9.04.

 

    	 	144	 

     

    

 

(c)          By
executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to
confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it
is the legal and Beneficial Owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its relevant Commitment,
and the outstanding balances of its relevant Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective,
are as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable, (ii) except as
set forth in clause (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of the Administrative Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by the
Administrative Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument
or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee legally authorized
to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable; (iv) such assignee
confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.05(a) or
delivered pursuant to Section 5.04 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable;
(v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such assigning Lender
or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated
to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which
by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

 

(d)          The
Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (such agency being solely for tax purposes),
shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance and each Affiliated Lender Assignment
and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and
principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks,
the Collateral 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 notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection
by the Administrative Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and any Lender (solely with respect to any entry related to such
Lender’s Loans and Commitments, and only at the office of the Administrative Agent), at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(e)          Upon
its receipt of, and consent to, a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, as applicable,
executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an administrative questionnaire completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee
shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) above, if applicable,
and the written consent of the Administrative Agent and, if required, the Administrative Borrower and each Issuing Bank and the Swing
Line Lender to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment
and Acceptance, as applicable, and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective
unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (e).

 

    	 	145	 

     

    

 

(f)           Any
Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower, any Issuing Bank, any other Lender, the Collateral Agent
or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or any Borrower or an Affiliate or Subsidiary)
(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 the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For
the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.05(c) regardless of the
sale by it of any participations. 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 the obligations of the Borrowers relating to the Loans or L/C Disbursements and to
approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver decreasing
any fees payable to such Participant or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such
Participant has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest or fees on the
Loans or Commitments in which such Participant has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such Participant has
an interest or releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral or any Guarantor (other than in connection with the disposition of
such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05). Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled
to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations set forth therein,
including the requirements under Section 2.20(e) (it being understood that the documentation under Section 2.20(e) shall
be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant
to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject
to the provisions of Section 2.21 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04
and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14, 2.16 or 2.20, with respect
to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive
a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or unless the
sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Administrative Borrower’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted
by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.06 as though it were a Lender; provided
that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers (such agency being solely for tax purposes), maintain
at one or more of its offices 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 rights or obligations under the Loan Documents (each such register,
a “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any
portion of any Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest
in any Loans or other rights or obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary
to establish that such Loan or other right or obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury
Regulations. The entries in a 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.

 

    	 	146	 

     

    

 

(g)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any Participant or sub-participant of a Participant that (i) is a Farm Credit Lender, (ii) has
purchased a participation or a sub-participation, as applicable, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (iii) has been designated as
a “Voting Participant” (a “Voting Participant”) in a notice (a “Voting Participant
Notice”) sent by the relevant Lender or Voting Participant (including any existing Voting Participant) to the Administrative
Agent and the Administrative Borrower and (iv) receives, prior to becoming a Voting Participant, the written consent of the Administrative
Agent and the Administrative Borrower (each such consent to be required only to the extent and under the circumstances it would be required
if such Voting Participant were to become a Lender pursuant to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.04(b) and
only if such Participant or sub-participant of a Participant is not an existing Voting Participant), shall, for so long as such Farm
Credit Lender owns such participation or sub-participation and notwithstanding any sub-participation by such Farm Credit Lender to an
entity that is not a Voting Participant, be entitled to vote as if such Voting Participant were a Lender on all matters subject to a
vote by the Lenders and the voting rights of the selling Lender or Voting Participant (including any existing Voting Participant) shall
be correspondingly reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis; provided, however, that if such Voting Participant has at any time failed to
fund any portion of its participation or sub-participation when required to do so, then until such time as all amounts of its participation
or sub-participation required to have been funded have been funded, such Voting Participant shall not be entitled to exercise its voting
rights pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.04(g), and the voting rights of the selling Lender or Voting Participant
shall not be correspondingly reduced by the amount of such Voting Participant’s participation or sub-participation (but shall be
subject to the provisions applicable to Defaulting Lenders). To be effective, each Voting Participant Notice must, with respect to each
Voting Participant, (A) state the full name, as well as all contact information required to be included by a prospective Lender
in an Assignment and Assumption and (B) state the Dollar amount of the participation purchased by such Voting Participant. Any
selling Lender (including any existing Voting Participant) and any selling or purchasing Voting Participant shall notify the Administrative
Agent and the Administrative Borrower within three (3) Business Days of any termination, reduction or increase of the amount of
such participation or sub-participation. The Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information
contained in Voting Participant Notices and all other notices delivered pursuant hereto. The voting rights of each Voting Participant
are solely for the benefit of such Voting Participant and shall not inure to any assignee, participant or sub-participant of such Voting
Participant that is not a Farm Credit Lender.

 

(h)          Any
Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this
Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the
Borrowers or the Subsidiaries furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries; provided that, prior
to any such disclosure of Information or other information designated by the Administrative Borrower as confidential, each such assignee
or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject
to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable
to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.16.

 

(i)           Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank
having jurisdiction over such Lender; 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.

 

    	 	147	 

     

    

 

(j)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose
funding vehicle (an “SPV”) the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting
Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing
herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise
fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof.
The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan
were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation
under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). Each Borrower agrees that each SPV shall be entitled
to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.16, and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations set forth therein,
including the requirements under Section 2.20(e)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b); provided that such SPV (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions
of Section 2.21 as if it were an assignee under Section 9.04(b) and (B) shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14, 2.16, and 2.20 than its Granting Lender would have been entitled
to receive, unless the grant of such option to the SPV is made with the Administrative Borrower’s prior written consent. In furtherance
of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the
date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV,
it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any Debtor Relief Law. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 9.04, any SPV may (i)  without notice to, or the prior written consent of, any Borrower or the Administrative
Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or
to any financial institutions (consented to by the Administrative Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit
support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis
any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or
credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. Each Granting Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the
Borrowers (such agency being solely for tax purposes), maintain at one or more of its offices a register on which it enters the name
and address of each SPV and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each SPV’s interest in the Loans or other rights or
obligations under the Loan Documents (each such register, an “SPV Register”); provided that no Granting
Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of any SPV Register (including the identity of any SPV or any information
relating to an SPV’s interest in any Loans or other rights or obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the
extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other right or obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in an SPV Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(k)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments under this Agreement to an Eligible
Assignee who is or will become, after such assignment is completed, an Affiliated Lender, and any Eligible Assignee that is or will become,
after such transaction is consummated, an Affiliated Lender may make Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments or purchase outstanding Term
Loans or Term Loan Commitments under this Agreement subject to the following limitations:

 

(i)          Affiliated
Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender and will
not be permitted to attend, receive notice of or participate in meetings, including any Lender conference calls or meetings, attended
solely by Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent;

 

(ii)         the
amount of Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments (after giving effect to their purchase) purchased by Affiliated Lenders may not exceed
25% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments;

 

(iii)        no
Affiliated Lender shall be required to make any representation that it is not in possession of any Material Non-Public Information with
respect to the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries or their respective securities that has not been disclosed to the Administrative Agent
and Lenders that are not Public Lenders that may be material to a Lender’s decision to participate in such purchase or assignment
as long as such Affiliated Lender shall, prior to such assignment or purchase, identify itself as an Affiliated Lender;

 

(iv)        all
assignments by and to Affiliated Lenders shall be documented with an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance;

 

    	 	148	 

     

    

 

(v)         upon
request by the Administrative Agent in connection with any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.08, each Borrower hereby
agrees to deliver a schedule of all Affiliated Lenders within three (3) Business Days after written request therefor;

 

(vi)        the
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or liability to monitor or review any Affiliated Lender’s compliance with this Section 9.04(k) and
each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees not to make or bring any claim, in its capacity as Lender, against the Administrative Agent, any
other Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Persons under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

 

(vii)       notwithstanding
anything in Section 9.08 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining
whether the Required Lenders have (1) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action
with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (2) otherwise acted on any
matter related to any Loan Document, or (3) directed or required any Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from
taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to have voted in the same proportion
as non-Affiliated Lenders voting on such matter for purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any actions; provided
that (x) such Affiliated Lender shall be permitted to vote if such amendment, waiver or modification disproportionately affects
such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as Lender as compared to other Lenders; (y) no amendment, modification or waiver shall deprive
any Affiliated Lender of its share of any payments which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis; and (z) such Affiliated
Lender shall be permitted to vote if such amendment, modification or waiver would increase its commitment, extend or postpone the final
maturity or scheduled date of amortization of its Loans, reduce the principal, interest or fees applicable to its Loans or release all
or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees or release Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral; and

 

(viii)      notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under
any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated
Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender
with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in the same proportion as non-Affiliated Lenders voting on such matter; provided
that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction
of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to
treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliated Lender
than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrowers.

 

(l)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04 or any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender shall have
the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its Term Loans to the Administrative Borrower on a non pro rata
basis, subject to the following limitations:

 

(i)          no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, or would immediately result therefrom;

 

(ii)         the
Administrative Borrower shall repurchase such Term Loans through either (x) conducting one or more modified Dutch auctions or other
buy-back offer processes (each, an “Offer Process”) with a third party financial institution as auction agent
to repurchase all or any portion of the applicable Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis; provided that (A) notice of such
Offer Process shall be made to all Term Loan Lenders in such Class and (B) such Offer Process is conducted pursuant to procedures
mutually established by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower which are consistent with this Section 9.04(l) or
(y) open market purchases on a non-pro rata basis;

 

    	 	149	 

     

    

 

(iii)         with
respect to all repurchases made by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.04(l), the Administrative Borrower
shall not be required to make any representation that it is not in possession of any Material Non-Public Information with respect to
the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries or their respective securities that has not been disclosed to the Administrative Agent and Lenders
that are not Public Lenders that may be material to a Lender’s decision to participate in such purchase or assignment as long as
the Administrative Borrower shall, prior to such assignment or purchase, identify itself as such;

 

(iv)        the
Administrative Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans to acquire such Term Loans;

 

(v)         the
assigning Lender and the Administrative Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Affiliated Lender Assignment
Agreement; and

 

(vi)        following
repurchase by the Administrative Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.04(l), the Term Loans so repurchased shall, without
further action by any Person, be deemed immediately canceled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by the
Administrative Borrower), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to the making of,
or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the remaining scheduled amortization
payments relating to the Term Loans so repurchased shall be ratably reduced on account thereof. In connection with any Term Loans repurchased
and canceled pursuant to this Section 9.04(l), the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the
Register to reflect any such cancellation.

 

Section 9.05        Expenses;
Indemnity. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing
Bank in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities and the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof
or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable documented
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of
Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection

(b)          Each
Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents and the Co-Documentation
Agents, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person,
an “Protected Person”) against, and to hold each Protected Person harmless from, any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, Taxes and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted
against any Protected Person arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the Credit Facilities, the execution
or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the
parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder and, in their capacities hereunder or in connection with or related to this
Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Credit
Facilities), (ii) the use of the proceeds or the proposed use of proceeds of the Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit, (iii) any
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Protected Person is a party thereto
(and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective
Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned
or operated by any Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries; provided that the indemnity under this Section 9.05(b) shall not, as to any Protected Person,
be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Protected Person. This Section 9.05(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)          To
the extent that any Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any
Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s
pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) 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, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender in its capacity
as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the
Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure, outstanding Term Loans and unused Commitments at the time (in each case, determined as if no Lender
were a Defaulting Lender).

 

(d)          To
the extent permitted by applicable Law, each party hereto agrees that it shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other
party hereto or any Protected Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed
to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

 

(e)          The
provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the
term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of
the Commitments, the expiration of any Letter of Credit, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or
any Issuing Bank. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

 

    	 	151	 

     

    

 

Section 9.06    Right
of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective
Affiliates who is owed Obligations is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to
set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness
at any time owing by such Person to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any of and all the
obligations of any Borrower or any other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such
Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such other Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or
are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding
such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such
right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application
in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 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 Agents, the Issuing Banks, 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 Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under
this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such
Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Administrative 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.

 

Section 9.07     Applicable
Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT
OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY (OTHER THAN LETTERS OF CREDIT AND AS EXPRESSLY
SET FORTH IN THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH
LETTER OF CREDIT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OR RULES DESIGNATED IN SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT,
OR IF NO SUCH LAWS OR RULES ARE DESIGNATED, THE RULES OF THE “INTERNATIONAL STANDBY PRACTICES 1998” PUBLISHED BY THE INSTITUTE
OF INTERNATIONAL BANKING LAW & PRACTICE (OR SUCH LATER VERSION THEREOF AS MAY BE IN EFFECT AT THE TIME OF ISSUANCE) SHALL
APPLY TO SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT.

 

Section 9.08    Waivers;
Amendments. (a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank in
exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights
or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any
departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below,
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand
on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

    	 	152	 

     

    

 

(b)          Neither
this Agreement, any other Loan Document (other than the Fee Letter) nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the applicable Loan Party or Loan Parties party thereto and
the Required Lenders (or, as applicable, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent upon the direction of the Required Lenders);
provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity
of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment or mandatory prepayment of any principal, interest or fees on any
Loan or any date for reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement, or forgive, waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease
the rate of interest (other than the Default Rate) or fees on any Commitment, Loan or L/C Disbursement, without the prior written consent
of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby (for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that only the consent of the Borrowers
and the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive, amend or modify any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein)
even if the effect of such waiver, amendment or modification would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan, Letter of Credit or
L/C Disbursement or to reduce any fee payable hereunder, in each case, to the extent such interest or fee is not yet accrued, due and
payable), (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease the amount of or extend the date for payment of any Fees or
fees of any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17

release any Guarantor (other than in connection with the disposition of such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.05),
release all or substantially all of the Collateral, subordinate the Obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any
other Material Indebtedness or subordinate the Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Obligations to any Lien
on such Collateral securing any other Material Indebtedness, in each case, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) amend
the provisions of Section 7.2 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in a manner that directly and adversely affects
any Qualified Counterparty, without the prior written consent of such Qualified Counterparty, (v) change the provisions of any
Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to Lenders holding Loans of one Class differently
from the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any other Class without the prior written consent of Lenders holding a majority in
interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each adversely affected Class, (vi) modify the protections afforded
to an SPV pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(j) without the written consent of such SPV, (vii) reduce
the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” without the prior written consent of each Lender
(it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be
included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments on the Original Closing Date),
or (viii) impose any additional restrictions on any Lender’s ability to assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder
(including any amendment to Section 9.04) without the prior written consent of the Lenders adversely affected thereby; provided,
however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to consent to any such
amendment, modification or waiver, other than any such amendment, modification or waiver which affects the rights or obligations of a
Defaulting Lender differently than the rights or obligations of the other Lenders or increases or extends the Commitment of, or forgives
or decreases the principal amount of, or extends the maturity of any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any
interest on any Loan of, such Defaulting Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect
the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swing Line Lender, or any Issuing Bank hereunder or under
any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swing Line Lender or
such Issuing Bank, as applicable.

 

    	 	153	 

     

    

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend any Loan Document to (1) cure any ambiguity, omission,
mistake, defect or inconsistency or (2) make any change that would provide an additional right or benefit to the Lenders or any
Issuing Bank (and which is not adverse to any Lender or any Issuing Bank), so long as, in each case, such changes shall not be materially
adverse to the Lenders and the Lenders shall have received at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof
and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days following the date of such notice to the Lenders,
written notice from (x) the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment or (y) if affected
by such amendment, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender stating that it objects to such amendment and (ii) the Administrative
Agent, the Borrowers, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Banks may amend this Agreement in accordance with Sections 2.24(k),
2.25 and 2.26 and (iii) the Fee Letter may be amended by the parties thereto in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any such amendments shall become effective without any further consent of any other party

addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers
and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans
of a given Class (such loans to be refinanced, the “Refinanced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan
tranche hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”); provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount
of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable
Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the final
maturity date of such Refinanced Term Loans shall not be earlier than the final maturity date of the Refinanced Term Loans at the time
of such refinancing, (d) the weighted average life to maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted
average life to maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing and (e) all other terms applicable to such
Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than,
those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to
any period after the Latest Maturity Date.

 

Section 9.09    Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or
participation in any L/C Disbursement, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or
participation in such L/C Disbursement under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved
by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan
or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent
lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result
of the operation of this Section 9.09 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect
of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount,
together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

 

Section 9.10    Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject
matter hereof and thereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof is superseded
by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended
to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder (including
any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Protected Persons
and the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any rights, remedies,
obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

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

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction
shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as
close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

Section 9.13    Counterparts.

an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 9.03.
Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or in other electronic (e.g., “pdf”
or “tif”) format shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,”
 “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Loan Documents, Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated
Lender Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each
of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping
system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global
and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the
Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 9.15    Jurisdiction;
Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property (and, in the case of any Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries and their property) to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York
State court or the Federal court of the Southern District of New York, in each case located in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate
court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment (except to the extent the Collateral Agent requires submission to any other jurisdiction in
connection with the exercise of any rights under any Security Document or the enforcement of any judgment), and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined
in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in
any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative
Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

 

(b)          Each
party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, on behalf of itself and the other Loan Parties, to the fullest extent it
may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any New York State or Federal court referred to in paragraph
(a) of this Section 9.15. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

(c)          Each
party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing
in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the
Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, controlling
persons, and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, including any numbering, administration or settlement service
providers (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information

to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.16 or in accordance with standard
syndication processes or customary market standards for dissemination of such Information, which shall in any event require “click
through” or other affirmative actions on the part of the recipient to access such information, to (i) any actual or prospective
assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any actual
or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Administrative Borrower or any Subsidiary
or any of their respective obligations or (iii) any other Lender, Agent or Affiliate of a Lender or Agent, (f) to rating
agencies, (g) with the consent of the Administrative Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information is independently developed
by such Person, (i) to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the
Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitments;
provided that such Person is advised of the provisions of this Section 9.16, or (j) to the extent such Information
becomes publicly available or is received by such Person from a third party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.16;
provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent,
the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Administrative Borrower of any request or disclosure pursuant
to clause (c) above prior to disclosure thereof (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants
or regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority). “Information” shall mean all information
received from any Borrower and related to the Loan Parties or their respective businesses, other than any such information that was available
to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure
by any Borrower; provided that, in the case of Information received from the Administrative Borrower after the Original Closing
Date, such information shall be deemed confidential unless marked “PUBLIC” in accordance with Section 9.01.
Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.16 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 its own confidential information.

Section 9.17    Lender
Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any action or proceeding, judicial or otherwise, for any right
or remedy against any Loan Parties under any Loan Document (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s
lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures,
with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any of the Loan Parties, unless expressly provided for herein or in any other
Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent. The provisions of this Section 9.17 are
for the sole benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any of the
Loan Parties.

 

Section 9.18    USA
PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender)
hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and the other
Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender, such Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify
the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

 

Section 9.19    No
Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively,
solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those
of the Borrowers and the Subsidiaries, equityholders and/or Affiliates.  Each Borrower hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each
of the other Loan Parties, that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency
relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, and their
respective Subsidiaries, equityholders or Affiliates, on the other.  Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself
and each of the other Loan Parties, that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights
and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan
Parties, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory
or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, their respective equityholders and/or Affiliates with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto
(irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, and their
respective Subsidiaries, equityholders or Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Loan Parties except the obligations
expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of
the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, or their respective management, equityholders, creditors or any other Person, (iii) it has
consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate and it is responsible for making its own independent
judgment with respect to the Transactions and the process leading thereto, and (iv) it will not claim that any Arrangers, the Co-Syndication
Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or
owes a fiduciary or similar duty to it in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto, and agrees that each Arranger,
Co-Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation Agent, Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect)
in respect of such a claim or to any other Person asserting such a claim on its behalf.

investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities and financial planning and benefits counseling for both companies and individuals,
(2) in the ordinary course of these activities, they may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and

and for the accounts of their respective customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and/or instruments,
(3) such investment and other activities may involve securities and instruments of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates,

direct investments in, and invest or co-invest client monies in or with funds or other investment vehicles managed by other parties,
and such funds or other investment vehicles may trade or make investments in securities of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates
or such other entities and (5) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and by the other Loan Documents may have a direct
or indirect impact on the investments, securities or instruments referred to in this Section.

 

Section 9.21    Joint
and Several Liability; Postponement of Subrogation. (a) The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents shall be joint and several and, as such, each Borrower shall be liable for all of such obligations of the other Borrower
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the liability of each Borrower for the obligations
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents of the other Borrower shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, without regard
to (i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the obligations hereunder or thereunder
or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held
by any Secured Party, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the other
Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Party or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or
knowledge of the other Borrower or such Borrower) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge
of the other Borrower for the obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or of such Borrower under this Section 9.21,
in bankruptcy or in any other instance. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely
as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrower, with respect to the payment and performance
of all of the Obligations (including any Obligations arising under this Section 9.21), it being the intention of the parties hereto
that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them.

(b)          Each
Borrower agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of subrogation under this Agreement, by any
payments made hereunder or otherwise, until the prior payment in full in cash of all of the obligations hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the permanent termination of all Commitments. Any amount paid
to any Borrower on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the payment in full in cash of all of the obligations hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the permanent termination of all Commitments
shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall immediately be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit
of the Secured Parties and credited and applied against the obligations of the Borrowers, whether matured or unmatured, in such order
as the Administrative Agent shall elect. In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any obligations of any Borrower hereunder, any
Letters of Credit or any Commitments remain outstanding hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, each Borrower shall refrain from
taking any action or commencing any proceeding against the other Borrower (or any of its successors or assigns, whether in connection
with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made in respect of the obligations hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents of such other Borrower to any Secured Party.

 

(c)          The
provisions of this Section 9.21 are made for the benefit of the Agents, the other Secured Parties and their respective successors
and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise
and without requirement on the part of any Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their respective successors or assigns first to marshal
any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it
or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to
elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 9.21 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been
paid in full in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect
of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 9.21 will forthwith be reinstated in
effect, as though such payment had not been made.

 

(d)          Except
as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability,
notice of any Loans or Letters of Credit made or issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default,
Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by any Agent
or any other Secured Party under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally,
to the extent permitted by Law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time
for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment
thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by any Agent or any other Secured Party at any time or times in respect
of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any
and all other indulgences whatsoever by any Agent or any other Secured Party in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition,
substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution
or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other
action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any Agent or any other Secured Party with respect to the failure by any Borrower
to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right
or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable Laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this
Section 9.21 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations
under this Section 9.21, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied,
the Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 9.21 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent
of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 9.21 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable
by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower, any Agent
or any other Secured Parties.

Section 9.22     Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCs. (a) To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise,
for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”
and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as set forth in the following paragraph
(b) with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and
Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the
 “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions
below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the
State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).

 

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

(including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document
