    the Company shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such Successor LIBO Rate and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this SECTION 1.6. or SECTION 8.7.,
    such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided, further, that if no Successor LIBO Rate has been determined pursuant to the foregoing and a Scheduled Unavailability Date has
    occurred,  the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Company and each Lender and thereafter, until such Successor LIBO Rate has been determined pursuant to this paragraph, (i) any Borrowing Request, the conversion of any Borrowing to, or

  SECTION 2.3.          Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request (a) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than
    10:30 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such
    Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be delivered by hand delivery or electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent in the form of Exhibit A. Each such written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance
    with SECTION 2.2:

   

  (i)          the aggregate
      amount of the requested Borrowing;

   

  (ii)         the Tranche of
      the requested Borrowing;

   

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

   

  (iv)        whether such
      Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing;

   

  (v)         in the case of a
      Eurocurrency Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

   

  (vi)        the location and
      number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of SECTION 2.6(a) or (b), as applicable.

   

  If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Eurocurrency Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month if such Borrowing
    is requested at least three Business Days prior to the date of such proposed Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing otherwise. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Company shall be deemed to have
    selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to
    be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

  SECTION 2.4.         [Reserved].

   

  SECTION 2.5.         [Reserved].

   

  SECTION 2.6.         Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall
      make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in Dollars to the account of the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof most recently designated by it for such purpose by
      notice to the Lenders, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Company by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, as directed by the Company and as designated in the
      applicable Borrowing Request.

   

  (b)          [Reserved].

   

    

  (c)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall
      have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made
      such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
      applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the
      date such amount is made available to the Company to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the NYFRB Rate from time to time in effect or (ii) in the case of the Company, the interest rate on
      the applicable Borrowing; provided that no repayment by the Company pursuant to this sentence shall be deemed to be a prepayment for purposes of SECTION 2.15. If such
      Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

   

  SECTION 2.7.         Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing
      initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Company may elect to convert such
      Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. Eurocurrency Loans may not be converted to Loans of a different Type. The
      Company may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each
      such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

   

  (b)          To make an election pursuant to this
      Section, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under SECTION 2.3 if the Company were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to
      be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy, or electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written
      Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Company.

   

  (c)          Each telephonic and written Interest
      Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with SECTION 2.2:

   

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

   

  
    19

    
      

  

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

   

  (iii)        whether the
      resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

   

  (iv)         if the resulting
      Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

   

  If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
    Period of one month’s duration.

   

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

   

  (e)          If the Company fails to deliver a
      timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be
      converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Company, then, so long as an
      Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period
      applicable thereto.

   

  SECTION 2.8.         Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a)
      Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall automatically terminate on the end of the Availability Period (after giving effect to the Loans made on such date).

   

  (b)          The Company may at any time
      terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000
      and not less than $25,000,000.

   

  (c)          The Company shall notify the
      Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election, Tranche and the
      effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such
      notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the
      Commitments with respect to any Tranche shall be made ratably among the Lenders of such Tranche in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Tranche.

   

  
    20

    
      

  

  SECTION 2.9.          Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) 
      The Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (i) with respect to the 364-Day Tranche, the then unpaid principal amount of its 364-Day Tranche Loans on the applicable Maturity Date with respect to such Loans and (ii) with respect to the 2-Year Tranche Loans, the then unpaid principal amount of its 2-Year Tranche Loans on the applicable Maturity Date with respect to such Loans.

   

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

   

  (c)          The Administrative Agent shall
      maintain a Register pursuant to SECTION 8.4(d), and an account for each Lender in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any promissory note evidencing such Loan, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable
      thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Company to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders
      and each Lender’s share thereof.

   

  (d)          The entries made in the Register and
      the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations
      recorded therein; provided 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
      obligation of the Company to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

   

  (e)          Any Lender may request that Loans
      made by it be evidenced by a promissory note for its Loans substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if
      requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment
      pursuant to SECTION 8.4) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its assigns).

   

  SECTION 2.10.       Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Company shall
      have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

   

  (b)          The Company shall notify the
      Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or electronic transmission) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time three Business Days before the
      date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the
      Tranche and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional
      notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by SECTION 2.8, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with SECTION 2.8. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to
      a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in
      SECTION 2.2. Each prepayment of Loans shall be applied ratably to the Tranche or Tranches of Loans specified by the Company in the applicable notice of repayment, and each prepayment of Loans of any Tranche or Tranches shall be applied against
      payments otherwise required under SECTION 2.9. (a) (if any) in direct order of maturity (unless otherwise directed by the Company). Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by SECTION 2.12.

   

  
    21

    
      

  

  SECTION 2.11.       Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the
      Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee in Dollars which shall accrue at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the unused Commitment of such Lender under the applicable Tranche during the
      period from and including the date that is 60 days following the date of this Agreement until the last day of the Availability Period payable on (x) the date of each Borrowing and (y) the last day of the Availability Period. All commitment fees shall
      be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

   

  (b)         The Company agrees to pay to the
      Administrative Agent, for its own account, the administrative, auction and other fees separately agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agent (collectively, the “Administrative
          Fees”).

   

  (c)          All fees payable hereunder shall be
      paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of commitment fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

   

  SECTION 2.12.       Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR
      Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

   

  (b)          The Loans comprising each
      Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

   

  (c)          [Reserved]

   

  (d)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
      any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Company hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before
      judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2.0% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.0% plus
      the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

   

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

   

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

   

  
    22

    
      

  

  SECTION 2.13.      Alternate Rate of Interest. Subject to SECTION 1.6, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing.

   

  (a)          the Administrative Agent shall have
      determined (which determination shall be made in good faith and shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

   

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

   

  then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and
    the Lenders by telephone or telecopy or electronic transmission, as applicable, as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer
    exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such
    Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

   

  SECTION 2.14.      Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law
      shall:

   

  (i)          subject any Lender
      or Agent to any Taxes (other than (x) Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Company under any Loan Document, (y) Excluded Taxes and (z) Other Taxes) on its Loans, Loan principal,
      Commitments, or other obligations under the Loan Documents, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

   

  (ii)         impose, modify or
      deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or

   

  (iii)        impose on any
      Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender;

   

  and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan) by
    an amount deemed by such Lender to be material or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Company will pay
    to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

   

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

   

  
    23

    
      

  

  (c)          A certificate of a Lender setting
      forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined,
      shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

   

  (d)         Failure or delay on the part of any
      Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall
      not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 60 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
      reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
      retroactive, then the 60-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

   

  SECTION 2.15.       Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as
    a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice
    delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under SECTION 2.10 (b) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
    thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to SECTION 2.18, then, in any such event, the Company shall compensate each Lender for the out-of-pocket loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan,
    such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the present value of the excess, if any, of (i) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, refinanced or not borrowed
    (assumed to be the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable thereto) for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, refinancing or failure to borrow or refinance to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a
    failure to borrow or refinance the Interest Period for such Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the
    funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed or refinanced for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and setting
    forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
    certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

   

  
    24

    
      

  

  SECTION 2.16.        Taxes. (a) Any and all payments to the
      Lenders or the Administrative Agent hereunder by or on account of any obligation of the Company shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and
      all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) net income or franchise and similar taxes imposed on (or measured by) net income and any branch profits tax imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender (or participant) by the United States or
      any other jurisdiction as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender (or participant) and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing
      authority thereof or therein (other than as a result of entering into this Agreement, performing any obligations hereunder, receiving any payments hereunder or enforcing any rights hereunder), (ii) taxes that are imposed under FATCA and (iii) any
      taxes that are attributable solely to the failure of any Lender to comply with SECTION 2.16(g) (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, “Non-Excluded Taxes”
      and all such excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, together with any Taxes described in SECTION 2.16(i), “Excluded Taxes”). If any applicable withholding agent shall
      be required to deduct any Non-Excluded Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “Additional Amount”) necessary so that after
      making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to Additional Amounts payable under this SECTION 2.16) such Lender or such Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had
      no such deductions been made, (ii) the withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

   

  (b)          In addition, the Company shall pay to
      the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp, intangibles or documentary Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies arising from any payment made hereunder or from the
      execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document that are imposed by a Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction in which the Company is incorporated, organized, managed and controlled or
      considered to have its seat or otherwise has a connection (other than as a result of entering into this Agreement, performing any obligations hereunder, receiving any payments hereunder or enforcing any rights hereunder) (“Other Taxes”).

   

  (c)          The Company shall indemnify each
      Lender (or participant) and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes paid by such Lender (or participant) or such Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and
      expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses)) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as
      to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by a Lender, or the Administrative Agent on its behalf and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount shall have been determined, absent manifest error, shall be final,
      conclusive and binding for all purposes. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor, which written demand shall be made within 180 days of
      the date such Lender or Administrative Agent receives written demand for payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes from the relevant Governmental Authority.

   

  (d)          If a Lender (or participant) or the
      Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Company, or with respect to which the Company has paid Additional Amounts pursuant to this SECTION 2.16, it shall
      within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the Company (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or Additional Amounts paid, by the Company under this SECTION 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving
      rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender (or participant) or such Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the Company, upon the request of such Lender (or participant) or such
      Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Company (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender (or participant) or such Administrative Agent in the event such Lender (or participant) or such Administrative Agent
      is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

   

  (e)          As soon as practicable after the date
      of any payment of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes by the Company to the relevant Governmental Authority, the Company will deliver to the Administrative Agent, at its addresses referred to in SECTION 8.1, the original or a certified copy of a
      receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing payment thereof.

  (f)          Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this SECTION 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans
      made hereunder.

   

    

  (g)          (i) Each Lender (or participant) that is a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two copies of either United States
      Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or successor forms). Each Lender (or participant) that is not a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code
      (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), Form
      W-8IMY (or successor form) together with any applicable underlying IRS forms, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio
      interest”, an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or any subsequent or substitute versions thereof or successors thereto (and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section
      881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a 10 percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Company, is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Company (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code)
      and is not conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected), properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of,
      U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the Company under this Agreement. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a participant, on or before the date such
      participant becomes a participant hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New
          Lending Office”). In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this SECTION 2.16(g), a Non-U.S.
      Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this SECTION 2.16(g) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

   

  (ii)          If a payment made
      to a Lender (or participant) under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section
      1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent,
      such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company or
      the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

   

  (h)          [Reserved];

   

  
    26

    
      

  

  (i)          The Company shall not be required to
      indemnify any Lender, or to pay any Additional Amounts to any Lender, in respect of any withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that (i) such withholding tax is imposed by the United States and the obligation to withhold
      amounts with respect to such withholding tax was in effect and would apply to amounts payable to such Lender on the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a participant, on the date such participant became a participant
      hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office on the date such Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to any Lender (or participant) if the assignment, participation, transfer or designation of a New Lending Office was made at the
      request of the Company or was made pursuant to SECTION 2.18; and provided further, however,
      that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or Additional Amounts any Lender (or participant) would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or Additional Amounts that
      the Lender (or participant) making the assignment, participation, transfer or designation of such New Lending Office would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation, or (ii) the obligation
      to pay such Additional Amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender (or participant) to comply with the provisions of paragraph (g)(i) above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender shall remain subject to the
      obligations under SECTION 2.18.

   

  (j)          [Reserved]

   

  (k)          Each Lender shall severally indemnify
      the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Agents for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so) attributable to such Lender (including any Taxes due to such
      Lender’s failure to maintain a Participant Register pursuant to SECTION 8.4.(f)) that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
      or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this SECTION 2.16(k) shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a
      certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

   

  (l)          Nothing contained in this SECTION
      2.16 shall require any Lender (or participant) or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary).

   

  SECTION 2.17.        Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Company shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under SECTION 2.14, SECTION 2.15 or SECTION 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 3:00 p.m., New York
      City time at the place of payment, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been
      received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, or such other location as the
      Administrative Agent shall designate from time to time, except that payments pursuant to SECTION 2.14, SECTION 2.15, SECTION 2.16 and SECTION 8.5 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any
      such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the
      next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars. Except as provided in clause (c) below, each payment
      or prepayment of principal or payment of interest in respect of a Borrowing of Loans shall be allocated ratably among the parties entitled thereto.

   

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

   

  
    27

    
      

  

  (c)          If any Lender shall, by exercising
      any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued
      interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of
      all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided
      that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and
      (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Company 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. The Company consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
      foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Company rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.

   

  (d)          Unless the Administrative Agent shall
      have received notice from the Company prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Company will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Company
      has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Company has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees
      to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
      Administrative Agent, at the NYFRB Rate in effect from time to time.

   

  (e)          If any Lender shall fail to make any
      payment required to be made by it pursuant to SECTION 2.6(b) or SECTION 2.17(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent
      for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

   

  SECTION 2.18.       Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under SECTION 2.14, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.16, then such Lender shall
      use reasonable efforts to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by the Company (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
      rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such filing, designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to SECTION 2.14 or SECTION 2.16, as
      the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

   

  
    28

    
      

  

  (b)          If any Lender requests compensation
      under SECTION 2.14, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.16, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may,
      upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in SECTION 8.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this
      Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall
      have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon,
      accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment
      resulting from a claim for compensation under SECTION 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to SECTION 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments.

   

  SECTION 2.19.       [Reserved].

   

  SECTION 2.20.       [Reserved].

   

  SECTION 2.21.       Defaulting Lenders.

   

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

   

  (a)          fees shall cease to accrue on the
      unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.11(a); and

   

  (b)          the Commitment and Exposure of such
      Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to SECTION 8.7); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender
      affected thereby.

   

  No non-Defaulting Lender shall have any obligation to fund any portion of a Loan which a Defaulting Lender has failed to fund.

   

  ARTICLE III

      restraining or enjoining the Company from the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement nor is there any other action, proceeding or investigation filed or (to the knowledge of the Company) threatened against the Company or any Subsidiary
      in any court or before any Governmental Authority or arbitration board or tribunal which would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

   

  
    30

    
      

  

  (b)         Neither the Company nor any
      Subsidiary is in violation of any law, rule or regulation, or in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any Governmental Authority, where such violation or default would be reasonably likely to result in a Material
      Adverse Effect.

   

  SECTION 3.7.         Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose
    which entails a violation of, or which is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Margin Regulations.

    and with respect to which appropriate accounting reserves have, to the extent required by GAAP, been set aside.

   

  SECTION 3.10.       Employee Benefit Plans. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect (a) the present aggregate value of accumulated benefit obligations of (i) all Plans and (ii) all foreign
    employee pension benefit plans maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries based on those assumptions used for disclosure of such obligations in corporate financial statements in accordance with GAAP, did not, as of the most recent statements
    available, exceed the aggregate value of the assets for all such plans, (b) no ERISA Termination Event has occurred and (c) each Plan has been established and administered in accordance with its terms and in compliance with the applicable provisions of
    ERISA, the Code and other applicable laws, rules and regulations.

    Subsidiaries comply and have complied with all applicable Environmental and Safety Laws; (ii) there are and have been no releases or threatened releases of Hazardous Substances at any property owned, leased or operated by the Company now or in the

    anticipated future events, conditions, circumstances, practices, plans, or legal requirements that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Company or any of the Subsidiaries from, or increase the costs to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries of,

      Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its real and personal property that are necessary to the operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except for minor defects in title that do
      not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes or where failure to have such good title or valid leasehold interests would not reasonably be expected to have a
      Material Adverse Effect.

   

  
    31

    
      

  

  (b)          Each of the Company and its
      Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property that are necessary to the operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and the use thereof by
      the Company and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

   

  SECTION 3.13.       Investment and Holding Company Status. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment
    Company Act of 1940.

    organized or resident in a country, region or territory that is, or whose government is, the target of Sanctions (currently, Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria). Except as disclosed in the 10-K filed by the Company for the fiscal year ending
    December 31, 2019, the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and employees and, to the knowledge of the Company, agents are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Sanctions and with the Foreign
    Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and all other applicable anti-corruption laws (“Anti-Corruption Laws”). None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any director or officer thereof, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any

    assessed civil penalties under any Anti-Money Laundering Laws or (iv) has had any of its funds seized or forfeited in any action under any Anti-Money Laundering Laws, in each case, that could, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a

  Affirmative Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees with each Lender and
    the Administrative Agent that so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect or the principal of or interest on any Loan, any fees or any other amounts payable hereunder shall be unpaid, unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise consent in writing,

  SECTION 5.1.         Existence. Do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and its rights and franchises that are material to the
    business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole, except as expressly permitted under SECTION 5.10 and except, in the case of any Subsidiary, where the failure to do so would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

   

  SECTION 5.2.         Business and Properties. Comply in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority (including Environmental and Safety Laws and
    ERISA), whether now in effect or hereafter enacted except instances that could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and at all times maintain and preserve all property material to the conduct of the
    business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole and keep such property in good repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty or condemnation excepted) and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all
    needful and proper repairs, renewals, additions, improvements and replacements thereto necessary in order that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, except where the failure to do so would not result in
    a Material Adverse Effect.

   

  SECTION 5.3.         Financial Statements, Reports, Etc. Furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender:

   

  (a)          within 95 days after the end of each

      consolidated results of its operations during such year, all audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP or other independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing selected by the Company;

   

  (b)          within 50 days after the end of each

      such statements fairly present the Company’s financial condition and results of operations on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes); and

   

  
    34

    
      

  

  (c)          promptly, from time to time, such
      other information as any Lender shall reasonably request through the Administrative Agent.

   

  Information required to be delivered pursuant to clauses (a) – (b) of this SECTION 5.3 shall be deemed to have been effectively delivered (including for
    purposes of SECTION 8.1(b)) on the date on which such information has been posted on the SEC website on the Internet at www.sec.gov (or any successor website), on the Company’s DebtDomain site or at another relevant website accessible by the Lenders
    without charge. Information required to be delivered pursuant to clause (c) of this SECTION 5.3 shall be deemed to have been effectively delivered (including for the purposes of SECTION 8.1(b)) on the date on which the Company provides notice to the

    its property, in each case before the same shall become delinquent or in default and before penalties accrue thereon, unless and to the extent that the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and adequate reserves with respect
    thereto shall, to the extent required by GAAP, have been set aside, or the failure to so pay and discharge would not be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

   

  SECTION 5.6.         Litigation and Other Notices. Give the Administrative Agent written notice of the following within five Business Days after any executive officer of the Company obtains knowledge
    thereof:

    37

      the Existing 364-Day Credit Agreement, the Company’s obligations under the Specified Revolving Credit Agreement or the Company’s obligations under any other Material Debt (excluding any such guarantee existing prior to January 2, 2019), pursuant to

      such Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence the release of such Guaranty.

  In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Citibank, N.A. is hereby appointed to act as Administrative Agent on behalf of the
    Lenders. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on behalf of such Lender or holder and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms and
    provisions hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (a) to receive on behalf of the
    Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the
    Lenders to the Company of any Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials
    delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement as received by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those
    expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against
    the Administrative Agent.

   

  Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Syndication Agent, Joint Lead Arrangers or Bookrunners listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers,
    duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity as a Lender.

   

  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective affiliates nor any of its respective affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, agents,
    advisors or attorneys-in-fact shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them except for its or his or her own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of
    competent jurisdiction), or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or in any document delivered in connection herewith or the contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to ascertain or to make
    any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the Company of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders for the due execution,
    genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or other instruments or agreements or for the failure of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender which
    makes any Loan as the holder of the indebtedness resulting therefrom for all purposes hereof until it shall have received notice from such Lender, given as provided herein, of the transfer thereof. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
    protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding
    on all the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so
    specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by them by reason of taking or continuing to take any
    such action. The Administrative Agent shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or
    Persons. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any responsibility to the Company on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender of any of its
    obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender of any of its respective obligations hereunder or in connection herewith. The Administrative Agent may execute any and all duties
    hereunder by or through its Affiliates, agents, attorneys-in-fact or employees and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by them (including counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by
    them with respect to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by them in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

  The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant
    to the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders.

   

  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative
    Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receive such a notice, the
    Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
    Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated
    to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

   

  Subject, in the case of a resignation of the Administrative Agent, to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below,
    the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent acceptable to the
    Company. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the
    Required Lenders and the Company (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative
    Agent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a successor Administrative Agent) which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the
    acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring
    Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date. After the
    Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and SECTION 8.5 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

   

  With respect to the Loans made by them hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the
    same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as
    if it were not the Administrative Agent.

    harmless the Administrative Agent and any of its respective directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,

    action taken or omitted by it under this Agreement to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Company; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the
    Administrative Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Administrative Agent or any
    of its directors, officers, employees or agents as determined by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.

    any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility

      attached to such Assignment and Assumption is any documentation required to be delivered by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, duly completed and executed by the assignee; (iv) such assignee agrees that (1) it will, independently and without
      reliance on the Agents, the assignor 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 the Loan Documents and (2)

    47

    
      

  

  (d)          The Administrative Agent shall
      maintain at one of its offices in the City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Loans
      owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time and any promissory notes evidencing such Loans (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be
      conclusive in the absence of manifest error and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may 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.
      No assignment or transfer of any Loan (or portion thereof) or any promissory note evidencing such Loan shall be effected unless and until it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this SECTION 8.4(d). Notwithstanding any other provision of
      this Agreement, any assignment or transfer of all or part of a promissory note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the promissory note (and each promissory note shall expressly so
      provide), accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Assumption, and thereupon one or more new promissory notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated Assignee and the old promissory notes shall be returned by the
      Administrative Agent to the Company marked “cancelled”. The Register shall be available for inspection by each party hereto, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

   

  (e)          Upon its receipt of a duly completed
      Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee together with 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 and, if required, the written consent of the Company to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register.

   

  (f)          Each Lender may sell participations
      at any time, without the consent of the Company or the Administrative Agent, to one or more banks or other entities (other than a natural person or a Defaulting Lender) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
      all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i)
      such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto or thereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) each participating bank or other entity
      shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in SECTION 2.14, SECTION 2.15 and SECTION 2.16 to the same extent as if it was the selling Lender (and limited to the amount that could have been claimed by the selling
      Lender had it continued to hold the interest of such participating bank or other entity, it being further agreed that the selling Lender will not be permitted to make claims against the Company under SECTION 2.14(b) for costs or reductions resulting
      from the sale of a participation), except that all claims made pursuant to such Sections shall be made through such selling Lender, and (iv) the Company, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with
      such selling Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Company relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification
      or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any commitment fees payable hereunder or thereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans,
      extending the final scheduled maturity of the Loans or any date scheduled for the payment of interest on the Loans, or increasing the Commitments, to the extent such Lender’s consent would be required with respect thereto under SECTION 8.7(b)). Each
      Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
      participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided
      that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, or its
      other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
      The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement
      notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

   

  
    48

    
      

  

  (g)         Any Lender or participant may, in
      connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant (and any agent or professional advisor of any of the
      foregoing) any information relating to the Company furnished to such Lender; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant or proposed
      assignee or participant (or agent or professional advisor, if applicable) shall be subject to confidentiality provisions substantially the same as the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.

   

  (h)          The Company shall not assign or
      delegate any rights and duties hereunder without the prior written consent of all Lenders.

   

  (i)          Any Lender may at any time pledge or
      otherwise assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority; provided that no such pledge shall
      release any Lender from its obligations hereunder. In order to facilitate such an assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority, the Company shall, at the request of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the
      assigning Lender a promissory note or notes evidencing the Loans made by the assigning Lender hereunder.

   

  SECTION 8.5.         Expenses; Indemnity.

   

  (a)          The Company agrees to pay promptly
      following written demand (including documentation reasonably supporting such request) all reasonable and invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Agent (and its Affiliates acting as lead arranger and bookrunner in respect of this Agreement)
      in connection with entering into this Agreement, the syndication of the Commitments and the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
      hereof or thereof (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of a single counsel for such Persons as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any
        relevant jurisdiction (and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, of one additional counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one additional local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction)), or incurred by the
      Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement of their rights in connection with this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made hereunder or thereunder, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the
      Administrative Agent and, in the case of enforcement, each Lender.

  (b)          The Company agrees to indemnify each
      Agent, Arranger and each Lender, each of their Affiliates and the directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents of the foregoing, in each case, involved with or having responsibility for this Agreement (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including
      reasonable counsel fees and expenses of one counsel to such Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction (and, solely in the
        case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, of one additional counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one additional local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction)), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of (i) the
      consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto
      and regardless of whether brought by a third party or by the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates; provided that (A) such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee,
      be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of
      competent jurisdiction, (B) such indemnity shall not apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses that result from disputes solely between Indemnitees (other than disputes involving claims against any Person in its capacity as,
      or fulfilling its role as, an arranger or Agent or agent or similar role in respect of this Agreement) or (C) resulting from material breaches of the Loan Documents by the applicable Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of
      a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any actions or proceedings in respect of this Agreement effected without the Company’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed
      or conditioned), but if settled with the Company’s written consent or if there is a final judgment in any such action or proceeding or if the Company was offered the ability to assume the defense of the action that was the subject matter of such
      settlement and elected not to assume such defense, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement in accordance with this
      paragraph.  The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnitees (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle, compromise, consent to the entry of
        any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any
        Indemnitee is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such claim, litigation, investigation or
        proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee.

   

  (c)          Neither an Indemnitee nor the Company
      shall be liable to the Company or any Indemnitee in connection with its activities related to the Loan Documents or in connection with any suit, action or proceeding (x) for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized Persons of information or
      materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons (except to the extent arising from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or the
      Company, as applicable) or (y) for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages; provided that this clause (y) shall not affect or limit the Company’s indemnity
      obligations set forth in paragraph (b) above. In the case of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this SECTION 8.5 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or
      proceeding is brought by the Company or its equity holders or creditors or any Indemnitee, subject to the limitations and exclusions set forth in this paragraph and paragraph (b) above.

   

  (d)          The provisions of this Section 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 invalidity or unenforceability of any term or
      provision of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on written demand therefor.

   

  
    50

    
      

  

  SECTION 8.6.         Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

   

  SECTION 8.7.         Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay
      of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such
      a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
      which they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure 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 the Company or any Subsidiary in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

   

  (b)          Subject to SECTION 1.6, neither this
      Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and 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, the date for the payment of
      any interest on any Loan or the date for the payment of any fee payable hereunder, or extend the Availability Period, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan (other than as a result of a
      waiver of default interest imposed pursuant to SECTION 2.12(e), without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby, (ii) increase the Commitment, or decrease the commitment fees of any Lender without the prior
      written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the provisions of SECTION 8.4(h) or this Section or the definition of the “Required Lenders”, without the prior written
      consent of each Lender, (iv) change SECTION 2.17(a), SECTION 2.17(b) or SECTION 2.17(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly or adversely affected thereby
      or (v) to the extent any Guaranty is then in effect, release any material Guarantor (except as such release is otherwise provided for in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents) without the written consent of each Lender; provided further, however, that (i) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the
      rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of such Administrative Agent and (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent hereunder may affect one Tranche of the Lenders’ Loans or Commitments more adversely
      vis-a-vis the other Tranche without the consent of the Lenders having more than a majority interest of the outstanding principal of Loans and Commitments of such adversely affected Tranche. Each Lender shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or
      modification authorized by this Section and any consent by any Lender pursuant to this Section shall bind any assignee of its rights and interests hereunder. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Administrative
      Agent and the Company shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Company shall be permitted to amend such
      provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

   

  SECTION 8.8.          Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitutes the entire contract among the parties
    relative to the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than
    the parties hereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

   

  
    51

    
      

  

  SECTION 8.9.         Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality
    and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 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 8.10.       Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one
    contract, and shall become effective as provided in SECTION 8.3.

   

  SECTION 8.11.       Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the
    construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

   

  SECTION 8.12.        Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted
    by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender, or any Affiliate thereof, to or for the credit or obligations of the
    Company now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify
    the Company after such setoff and application made by such Lender, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and
    remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

   

  SECTION 8.13.       Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of the Company and each Credit Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the
      Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment in respect
      thereof, 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.

   

  (b)          Each of the parties hereto hereby
      irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or thereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
      Agreement and the Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court referred to in SECTION 8.13(a) and agrees that any such suit, action or proceeding shall be brought in such court. 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.

   

  
    52

    
      

  

  (c)          Each party to this Agreement
      irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in SECTION 8.1(a). Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted
      by law.

   

  SECTION 8.14.       Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation
    directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that
    such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and
    certification in this Section.

   

  SECTION 8.15.       [Reserved].

   

  SECTION 8.16.       [Reserved].

   

  SECTION 8.17.       [Reserved].

   

  SECTION 8.18.        Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders expressly agree, for the benefit of the Company and the Subsidiaries, to keep confidential, and not to publish, disclose or
    otherwise divulge, information, including material nonpublic information within the meaning of Regulation FD promulgated by the SEC (“Regulation FD”), regarding the Company or the Subsidiaries or their respective businesses received from the
    Company or its Subsidiaries or from another Person on their behalf except that the Agents and Lenders shall be permitted to disclose such confidential information (a) to their respective Affiliates and their respective Affiliates’ respective directors,
    officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors involved with the Agreement on a need- to-know basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
    nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (b) as requested by any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating banks or banking, (c) as may be compelled in judicial or administrative proceeding or
    as otherwise required by law or requested by a governmental authority, (d) to any rating agency on a confidential basis, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, the
    enforcement of rights hereunder or the administration of the Loans, (f) subject to an acknowledgment and acceptance by any applicable Person that such information is being disseminated on a confidential basis (which may be acknowledged and accepted in
    accordance with the standard syndication process of the Arrangers or customary market standards for dissemination of such types of information), (i) to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in (and any agent
    or professional advisor of any of the foregoing), any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) to any credit insurance provider or direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or
    securitization transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the written consent of the Company or the Subsidiaries, as applicable or (h) to the extent such information (1) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
    breach of this Section, (2) becomes available to any Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Company or the Subsidiaries not in breach of a confidentiality obligation owed to the Company or a Subsidiary (and in the
    case of this clause (2) the affected party receiving such information does not have actual knowledge that such disclosure is in breach of a confidentiality obligation owed to the Company or a Subsidiary) or (3) is independently developed; provided
    that the restrictions of this SECTION 8.18. shall not apply to information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to market data collectors and data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending
    industry in respect of such data customarily provided to such entities. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
    exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such information as is customarily exercised by lenders consisting of commercial banks. With respect to disclosures pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section (except with
    respect to any auditor examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), to the extent practicable and permitted under applicable law, rule or regulation each Lender
    and the Administrative Agent shall inform the Company promptly after receipt of such request and if permissible, before disclosure of such confidential information. It is understood and agreed that the Company, the Subsidiaries and their respective
    Affiliates may rely upon this SECTION 8.18 for any purpose, including without limitation to comply with Regulation FD.

   

  
    53

    
      

  

  SECTION 8.19.       USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001))
    (the “Patriot Act”), it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company and any Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of the Company and such Guarantor, as applicable, and other
    information that will allow such Lender to identify the Company or such Guarantor in accordance with the Patriot Act. Each such Person shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information as is reasonably requested by the
    Administrative Agent or a Lender to comply with applicable “know your customer” and Anti-Money Laundering Laws and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act.

   

  SECTION 8.20.       No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section, the “Lenders”) may have economic interests that conflict with
    those of the Company, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates. The Company agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and
    the Company, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Company acknowledges and agrees 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 Company, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the
    Company, its stockholders or its 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 Company, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Company, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person
    with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Company agrees that it will not assert
    any claim against any Lender based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Lender in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

   

  SECTION 8.21.       Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or
    understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion
    powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

   

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

   

  
    54

    
      

  

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

   

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

   

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

   

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

Exhibit 10.1

INVESCO DB G10 CURRENCY HARVEST FUND
PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT

This Participant Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of [__________], 20[__], is entered into by and among [__________] (the “Authorized Participant”), Invesco DB G10 Currency Harvest Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), and Invesco Capital Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as managing owner of the Trust (the “Managing Owner”).

SUMMARY

As provided in the Fifth Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement of the Trust, as amended from time to time (the “Trust Agreement”) as currently in effect and described in the Prospectus (defined below), units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of the Trust (the “Shares”) may be created or redeemed by the Managing Owner for an Authorized Participant in aggregations of two hundred thousand (200,000) Shares (each aggregation, a “Basket”).  Baskets are offered only pursuant to the registration statement of the Trust on Form S-3, as amended (Registration No.: 333-192126), as currently effective and on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and as the same may be amended from time to time thereafter or any successor registration statement (on Form S-3 or otherwise) in respect of Shares of the Trust (collectively, the “Registration Statement”) together with the prospectus of the Trust in the form filed with the SEC under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”).  Under the Trust Agreement, the Managing Owner is authorized to issue Baskets to, and redeem Baskets from, Authorized Participants, (i) through the Continuous Net Settlement (“CNS”) clearing processes of the  National Securities Clearing Corporation (the “NSCC”) as such processes have been enhanced to effect purchases and redemptions of Creation Baskets and Redemption Baskets (the “CNS Clearing Process”), or (ii) if outside the CNS Clearing Process, only through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC” or the “Depository”) (the “DTC Process”), or a successor depository, and only in exchange for cash.  This Agreement sets forth the specific procedures by which an Authorized Participant may create or redeem Baskets.

Because new Shares can be created and issued on an ongoing basis, at any point during the life of the Trust, a “distribution,” as such term is used in the 1933 Act, may be occurring.  The Authorized Participant is cautioned that some of its activities may result in its being deemed a participant in a distribution in a manner that would render it a statutory underwriter and subject it to the prospectus-delivery and liability provisions of the 1933 Act.  The Authorized Participant should review the “Plan of Distribution” section of the Prospectus and consult with its own counsel in connection with entering into this Agreement and submitting a Purchase Order Subscription Agreement (defined below).

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Trust Agreement.  To the extent there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the provisions of the Trust Agreement, the provisions of the 

 

 

Trust Agreement shall control.  To the extent there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the provisions of the Prospectus, the Prospectus shall control.  For the avoidance of doubt, any action which is an action being taken by the Managing Owner may be taken by a party whom the Managing Owner has duly authorized to take such action.

To give effect to the foregoing premises and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.Order Placement.  To place orders to create or redeem one or more Baskets, the Authorized Participant must follow the procedures for creation and redemption referred to in Section 3 of this Agreement and the procedures described in Attachment A hereto (the “Procedures”), as each may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.

Section 2.Status of Authorized Participant.  The Authorized Participant represents and warrants and covenants the following:

(a)The Authorized Participant hereby represents, covenants and warrants that with respect to Creation Orders or Redemption Orders of Creation Baskets or Redemption Baskets, respectively, of the Trust (i) through the CNS Clearing Process, it is a member of the NSCC and an Authorized Participant in the CNS System of NSCC (a “Participating Party”), and/or (ii) outside the CNS Clearing Process, it is a participant of DTC (as such a participant, a “DTC Participant”).  If there is any change in the foregoing status of the Authorized Participant, the Authorized Participant shall give prompt notice to the Managing Owner of such event and upon such notice, the Managing Owner, in its sole discretion, may terminate this Agreement.

(b)Unless Section 2(d) applies, the Authorized Participant either (i) is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“1934 Act”), and is a member in good standing of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), or (ii) is exempt from being, or otherwise is not required to be, licensed as a broker-dealer or a member of FINRA, and in either case is qualified to act as a broker or dealer in the states or other jurisdictions where the nature of its business so requires. The Authorized Participant will maintain any such registrations, qualifications and memberships in good standing, or, if applicable, exempt status, in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement.  The Authorized Participant will comply with all applicable United States federal laws, including without limitation, the delivery requirements of Section 5 of the 1933 Act and all applicable rules of the SEC, the laws of the states or other jurisdictions concerned, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and with the Constitution, By-Laws and Conduct Rules of FINRA, if it is a FINRA member, and shall not offer or sell Shares in any state or jurisdiction where they may not lawfully be offered and/or sold.

(c)The Authorized Participant understands and acknowledges that some activities on its part, depending on the circumstances and under certain possible interpretations of applicable law, could be interpreted as resulting in its being deemed a participant in a distribution, as that term is defined in the 1933 Act, in a manner that could render it a statutory underwriter and subject it to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding that the Authorized Participant may not be acting as a statutory underwriter, it agrees to review 

2

 

the applicable sections of the Prospectus relating to offering of the Shares and consult its own counsel in connection with entering into this Agreement and offering and selling the Shares.

(d)If the Authorized Participant is offering or selling Shares in jurisdictions outside the several states, territories and possessions of the United States and is not otherwise required to be registered with, qualified by or be a member of FINRA as set forth in Section 2(b) above, the Authorized Participant will (i) observe the applicable laws of the jurisdiction in which such offer and/or sale is made, (ii) comply with the full disclosure requirements of the 1933 Act and the Commodities Exchange Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and (iii) conduct its business in accordance with the spirit of the FINRA Conduct Rules.

(e)The Authorized Participant has written policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with the money laundering and related provisions of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the “USA PATRIOT Act”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, if the Authorized Participant is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act. 

Section 3.Orders.  (a)  All orders to create or redeem Baskets shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, this Agreement and the Procedures.  Each party shall comply with such foregoing terms and procedures to the extent applicable to it.  The Authorized Participant hereby consents to the use of recorded telephone lines whether or not such use is reflected in the Procedures and the Managing Owner shall take reasonable steps to cause the appropriate party to provide the Authorized Participant with copies of such recordings upon such party’s reasonable request.  The Managing Owner may issue additional or other procedures from time to time relating to the manner of creating or redeeming Baskets which are not related to the Procedures, and the Authorized Participant shall comply with such procedures of which it has been notified in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)The Authorized Participant acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself and any party for which it is acting (whether such party is a customer or otherwise) that each order to create a Basket (a “Purchase Order Subscription Agreement”) and each order to redeem a Basket (a “Redemption Order”, and, together with the Purchase Order Subscription Agreement, an “Order”) may not be revoked by the Authorized Participant upon its delivery to the Transfer Agent (as defined in the Procedures). A form of Purchase Order Subscription Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B and a form of Redemption Order is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(c)The Managing Owner or its delegate shall have the absolute right, but shall have no obligation, to reject any Purchase Order Subscription Agreement or Creation Basket Capital Contribution (as defined in the Trust Agreement) if (i) the Managing Owner or Transfer Agent has determined in good faith that the Purchase Order Subscription Agreement or Creation Basket Capital Contribution is not materially in proper form; (ii) the Managing Owner has determined in good faith that the acceptance or receipt of the Purchase Order Subscription Agreement or Creation Basket Capital Contribution would be reasonably likely to have adverse tax consequences to the Trust or to the Beneficial Owners; (iii) the acceptance or receipt of such Purchase Order Subscription Agreement Creation Basket Capital Contribution would, in the opinion of counsel to the Managing Owner, be unlawful; or (iv) circumstances outside the 

3

 

control of the Managing Owner or the Transfer Agent make it for all practical purposes not feasible to process creations of Creation Baskets.  The Managing Owner shall not be liable to any person by reason of the rejection of any Purchase Order Subscription Agreement or Creation Basket Capital Contribution in such circumstances.

(d)The Managing Owner shall reject any Redemption Order the fulfillment of which its counsel advises would be illegal under applicable laws and regulations, and the Managing Owner shall have no liability to any person for rejecting a Redemption Order in such circumstances.

(e)The Managing Owner may, in its reasonable, good faith discretion, suspend the right of redemption, or postpone the Settlement Time (as described in the Procedures), (i) for any period during which the NYSE Arca, Inc. or any exchange on which the Trust’s assets are regularly traded is closed other than for customary weekend or holiday closings, or trading is suspended or restricted; (ii) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which delivery, disposal or evaluation of the Trust’s assets is not reasonably practicable; or (iii) for such other period as the Managing Owner determines to be necessary for the protection of the Beneficial Owners. The Managing Owner is not liable to any person or in any way for any loss or damages that may result from any such suspension or postponement.

(f)Solely with respect to Creation Orders or Redemption Orders executed through the CNS Clearing Process, the Authorized Participant, as a Participating Party, hereby authorizes the transmission to the NSCC on behalf of the Authorized Participant by the Transfer Agent of such instructions consistent with the instructions issued by the Authorized Participant.  The Authorized Participant agrees to be bound by the terms of such instructions issued and reported to NSCC by the Transfer Agent as though such instructions were issued by the Authorized Participant directly to NSCC.

Section 4.Fees.  In connection with each Order by the Authorized Participant to create or redeem one or more Baskets, the Managing Owner shall charge, and the Authorized Participant shall pay from its DTC account to the Managing Owner, the Transaction Fee set forth in the currently effective copy of the Prospectus.  The Transaction Fee may be adjusted from time to time as set forth in the Prospectus. As described in the Procedures, the Authorized Participant will be charged by the Managing Owner an additional processing charge if the Authorized Participant fails timely to deliver the Creation Basket Capital Contribution (in the case of a Purchase Order Subscription Agreement ) or the Baskets (in the case of a Redemption Order).

Section 5.Authorized Persons.  Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time thereafter, the Authorized Participant shall deliver to the Transfer Agent  notarized and duly certified as appropriate by its secretary or other duly authorized official, a certificate in the form of Exhibit A setting forth the names and signatures of all persons authorized to give instructions relating to activity contemplated hereby or by any other notice, request or instruction given on behalf of the Authorized Participant (each, an “Authorized Person”).  The Transfer Agent may accept and rely upon such certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts set forth therein and shall consider such certificate to be in full force and effect until the Transfer Agent receives a superseding certificate bearing a subsequent date. The Transfer 

4

 

Agent shall issue to each Authorized Person a unique personal identification number (the “PIN Number”) by which such Authorized Person shall be identified and by which instructions issued by the Authorized Participant hereunder shall be authenticated.  The PIN Number shall be kept confidential by the Authorized Participant and shall only be provided to the Authorized Person.  If, after issuance, the Authorized Person’s PIN Number is changed, the new PIN Number shall become effective on a date mutually agreed upon by the Authorized Participant and the Transfer Agent. If the Authorized Person’s PIN Number is compromised in any way, the Authorized Participant shall contact the Transfer Agent immediately in order for a new one to be issued and for the Transfer Agent to immediately cancel the old one.  Upon the termination or revocation of authority of any Authorized Person by the Authorized Participant, the Authorized Participant shall give immediate written notice of such fact to the Transfer Agent and such notice shall be effective upon receipt by the Transfer Agent.

Section 6.Redemption.  The Authorized Participant represents and warrants that it will not obtain a Confirmation Number (as described in the Procedures) from the Managing Owner for the purpose of redeeming a Basket unless it first ascertains that (i) it or its customer, as the case may be, owns outright or has full legal authority and legal and beneficial right to tender for redemption the Baskets to be redeemed and to receive the entire proceeds of the redemption, and (ii) such Baskets have not been loaned or pledged to another party and are not the subject of a repurchase agreement, securities lending agreement or any other arrangement which would preclude the delivery of such Baskets to the Managing Owner on the Business Day following the Redemption Order Date.

Section 7.Role of Authorized Participant.  (a)  The Authorized Participant acknowledges that, for all purposes of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement, the Authorized Participant is and shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and has and shall have no authority to act as agent for the Trust or the Managing Owner in any matter or in any respect.

(b)The Authorized Participant will make itself and its employees available, upon request, during normal business hours to consult with the Managing Owner or its designees concerning the performance of the Authorized Participant’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

(c)With respect to any creation or redemption transaction made by the Authorized Participant pursuant to this Agreement for the benefit of any customer or any other DTC Participant or securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC Participant (an “Indirect Participant”), or any other Beneficial Owner, the Authorized Participant shall extend to any such party all of the rights, and shall be bound by all of the obligations, of a DTC Participant in addition to any obligations that it undertakes hereunder or in accordance with the Trust Agreement.

(d)Upon reasonable request by the Managing Owner, the Authorized Participant will, subject to any limitations arising under federal or state securities laws relating to privacy or other obligations it may have to its customers, provide the Managing Owner written notice indicating the number of Shares that the Authorized Participant may hold as record holder and the amount of such Shares that it holds for the benefit of other broker-dealers that clear and settle 

5

 

transactions in Shares through the Authorized Participant, in each case as of the date of such request and with respect to the Trust.  In addition, the Authorized Participant agrees, upon request of the Managing Owner, and subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, to transmit to its account holders who are Beneficial Owners of Shares, such written materials received from the Managing Owner (including notices, annual reports, disclosure or other informational or tax materials and any amendments or supplements thereto and communications) as may be required to be transmitted to Beneficial Owners pursuant to the Trust Agreement or applicable law, provided that the expenses associated with such transmissions shall be borne by the Managing Owner in accordance with usual custom and practice in respect of such communications.

(e)The Authorized Participant agrees that, in connection with any sales of the Shares, it will not charge a commission to its customers in excess of one percent (1%) of the gross offering proceeds registered under each effective registration statement as provided under the “Plan of Distribution – General” section (or any future equivalent section) of the applicable Prospectus.  Such commission may only be charged by a broker-dealer registered as such under the 1934 Act and which is a member of FINRA.

Section 8.Indemnification.

(a)The Authorized Participant hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Trust and the Managing Owner, their respective direct or indirect affiliates (as defined below) and their respective directors, trustees, managing owners, partners, members, managers, officers, employees and agents and each person, if any, who controls such persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and Section 20 of the 1934 Act (each, an “AP Indemnified Party”) from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonable cost of investigation, including reasonable cost involved in defending itself in connection with an investigation) incurred by such AP Indemnified Party as a result of or in connection with: (i) any breach by the Authorized Participant of any provisions of this Agreement; (ii) any failure on the part of the Authorized Participant to perform any of its obligations set forth in this Agreement; (iii) any failure by the Authorized Participant to comply with applicable laws and the rules and regulations of self-regulatory organizations in connection with this Agreement, except that the Authorized Participant shall not be required to indemnify an AP Indemnified Party to the extent that such failure was caused by the reasonable reliance on instructions given or representations made by one or more AP Indemnified Parties or the negligence or willful malfeasance of any AP Indemnified Party; (iv) any actions of such AP Indemnified Party in reliance upon any instructions issued in accordance with the Procedures reasonably believed by the AP Indemnified Party to be genuine and to have been given by the Authorized Participant; or (v) (A) any representation by the Authorized Participant, its employees or its agents or other representatives about the Shares, any AP Indemnified Party or the Trust that is not consistent with the Trust’s then-current Prospectus made in connection with the offer or the solicitation of an offer to buy or sell Shares and (B) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any research reports, marketing material and sales literature described in Section 12(b) or any alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading to the extent that such statement or omission relates to the Shares, any AP Indemnified Party or the Trust, unless, in either case, such representation, statement or omission was made or included by the Authorized Participant at the written direction of the Managing Owner or is based upon any 

6

 

omission or alleged omission by the Managing Owner to state a material fact in connection with such representation, statement or omission necessary to make such representation, statement or omission not misleading.

(b)The Managing Owner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Authorized Participant, its respective subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, and each person, if any, who controls such persons within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and Section 20 of the 1934 Act (each, a “Managing Owner Indemnified Party”) from and against any losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonable cost of investigation, including reasonable costs involved in defending itself in connection with an investigation) incurred by such Managing Owner Indemnified Party as a result of or in connection with: (i) any breach by the Managing Owner of any provision of this Agreement; (ii) any failure on the part of the Managing Owner to perform any obligation of the Managing Owner set forth in this Agreement; (iii) any failure by the Managing Owner to comply with applicable laws and regulations in connection with this Agreement, except that the Managing Owner shall not be required to indemnify a Managing Owner Indemnified Party to the extent that such failure was caused by the reasonable reliance on instructions given or representations made by one or more Managing Owner Indemnified Parties or the negligence or willful malfeasance of any Managing Owner Indemnified Party; (iv) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except those statements in the applicable Registration Statement based on information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Authorized Participant expressly for use in the Registration Statement; or (v) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Prospectus or arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except those statements in the Prospectus based on information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Authorized Participant expressly for use in such Prospectus.

(c)This Section 8 shall not apply to the extent any such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses are incurred as a result of or in connection with any gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the AP Indemnified Party or the Managing Owner Indemnified Party, as the case may be. The term “affiliate” in this Section 8 shall include, with respect to any person, entity or organization, any other person, entity or organization which directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such person, entity or organization.

(d)If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Sections 8(a) or 8(b) or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Managing Owner and the Trust, on the one hand, and by the Authorized Participant, on the other hand, from the transactions contemplated hereunder or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not 

7

 

permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Managing Owner and the Trust, on the one hand, and of the Authorized Participant, on the other hand, in connection with, to the extent applicable, the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Managing Owner and the Trust, on the one hand, and the Authorized Participant, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the amount of cash transferred to the Trust under this Agreement on the one hand (expressed in dollars) bears to the amount of economic benefit received by the Authorized Participant in connection with this Agreement on the other hand. To the extent applicable, the relative fault of the Managing Owner on the one hand and of the Authorized Participant on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Managing Owner or by the Authorized Participant and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses referred to in this Section 8(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any action, suit or proceeding (each a “Proceeding”) related to such losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses.

(e)The Managing Owner and the Authorized Participant agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8(d) above. The Authorized Participant shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares created by the Authorized Participant (for avoidance of doubt, in an amount equal to the Creation Basket Capital Contribution) and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Authorized Participant has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f)The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Authorized Participant, its partners, stockholders, members, directors, officers, employees and or any person (including each partner, stockholder, member, director, officer or employee of such person) who controls the Authorized Participant within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, or by or on behalf of the Managing Owner, its partners, stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees or any person who controls the Managing Owner within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. The Managing Owner and the Authorized Participant agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Managing Owner, against the Trust or any of the Managing Owner’s officers or directors, in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares or in connection with the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

8

 

Section 9.(a)  Limitation of Liability. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, neither the Managing Owner nor the Authorized Participant shall be liable to each other or to any other person, including any party claiming by, through or on behalf of the Authorized Participant, for any losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses arising out of any mistake or error in data or other information provided to any of them by each other or any other person or out of any interruption or delay in the electronic means of communications used by them.

(b)Tax Liability.  The Authorized Participant shall be responsible for the payment of any transfer tax, sales or use tax, stamp tax, recording tax, value added tax and any other similar tax or government charge applicable to the creation or redemption of any Basket made pursuant to this Agreement, regardless of whether or not such tax or charge is imposed directly on the Authorized Participant. To the extent the Managing Owner or the Trust is required by law to pay any such tax or charge, the Authorized Participant agrees to promptly indemnify such party for any such payment, together with any applicable penalties, additions to tax or interest thereon.

Section 10.Obtaining a Copy of the Prospectus/Disclosure Document.  The Authorized Participant has obtained a copy of the Trust’s Prospectus, which also constitutes its CFTC Disclosure Document, from the Trust’s website http://www.Invesco.com, or any successor thereto.

Section 11.Effectiveness and Termination.  Upon the execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, this Agreement shall become effective in this form as of the date first set forth above, and may be terminated at any time by any party upon thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to the other parties unless earlier terminated: (i) in accordance with Section 2(a); (ii) upon notice to the Authorized Participant by the Managing Owner in the event of a breach by the Authorized Participant of this Agreement or the procedures described or incorporated herein; (iii) immediately in the circumstances described in Section 17(j); or (iv) at such time as the Trust is terminated pursuant to the Trust Agreement.

Section 12.Marketing Materials; Representations Regarding Shares; Identification in Registration Statement.

(a)The Authorized Participant represents, warrants and covenants that (i) without the written consent of the Managing Owner, the Authorized Participant will not make, or permit any of its representatives to make, any representations concerning the Shares or any AP Indemnified Party other than representations contained (A) in the then-current Prospectus, (B) in printed information approved by the Managing Owner as information supplemental to such Prospectus or (C) in any promotional materials or sales literature furnished to the Authorized Participant by the Managing Owner, and (ii) the Authorized Participant will not furnish or cause to be furnished to any person or display or publish any information or material relating to the Shares, any AP Indemnified Person or the Trust that are not consistent with the Trust’s then-current Prospectus.  The then-current Prospectus of the Trust will be available on the Trust’s website and on the SEC’s Next-Generation EDGAR System and copies of the then-current Prospectus will be supplied by the Managing Owner to the Authorized Participant in reasonable quantities upon request.

9

 

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Authorized Participant may without the written approval of the Managing Owner prepare and circulate in the regular course of its business research reports, marketing material and sales literature that includes information, opinions or recommendations relating to the Shares (i) for public dissemination, provided that such research reports comply with applicable FINRA and SEC rules; and (ii) for internal use by the Authorized Participant. The Authorized Participant shall file all such research reports, marketing material and sales literature related to the Shares with FINRA to the extent required by the FINRA Conduct Rules and the SEC, as necessary.

(c)The Authorized Participant hereby agrees that for the term of this Agreement the Managing Owner may deliver the then-current Prospectus, and any supplements or amendments thereto or recirculation thereof, to the Authorized Participant in Portable Document Format (“PDF”) via electronic mail. The Authorized Participant acknowledges that it has the capability to access, view, save and print material provided to it in PDF and that it will incur no appreciable extra costs by receiving the Prospectus in PDF instead of in paper form.

(d)For as long as this Agreement is effective, the Authorized Participant agrees to be identified as an authorized participant of the Trust (i) in the section of the Prospectus included within the Registration Statement entitled “Creation and Redemption of Shares” and in any other section or document as may be required by the SEC and (ii) on the Trust’s website. Upon the termination of this Agreement, (i) during the period prior to when the Managing Owner qualifies and in its sole discretion elects to file on a new registration statement (on Form S-3, or otherwise) the Managing Owner will remove such identification from the Prospectus in the amendment of the Registration Statement next occurring after the date of the termination of this Agreement and (ii) the Managing Owner will promptly update the Trust’s website to remove any identification of the Authorized Participant as an authorized participant of the Trust.

Section 13.Certain Covenants of the Managing Owner.  The Managing Owner, on its own behalf and as sponsor of the Trust, covenants and agrees to notify the Authorized Participant promptly of the happening of any event during the term of this Agreement which could require the making of any change in the Prospectus then being used so that the Prospectus would not include an untrue statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and, during such time, to promptly prepare and file, at the expense of the Trust, such amendments or supplements to such Prospectus as may be necessary to reflect any such change and provide copies of such amendments or supplements in PDF format via electronic mail to the Authorized Participant;

Section 14.Third Party Beneficiaries.  Each AP Indemnified Party and Managing Owner Indemnified Party, to the extent it is not a party to this Agreement, is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement (each, a “Third Party Beneficiary”) and may proceed directly against any party hereto (including by bringing proceedings against the parties hereto in its own name) to enforce any obligation of such party under this Agreement which directly or indirectly benefits such Third Party Beneficiary.

Section 15.Force Majeure.  No party to this Agreement shall incur any liability for any delay in performance, or for the non-performance, of any of its obligations under this 

10

 

Agreement by reason of any cause beyond its reasonable control. This includes any act of God or war or terrorism, any breakdown, malfunction or failure of transmission in connection with or other unavailability of any wire, communication or computer facilities, any transport, port, or airport disruption, industrial action, acts and regulations and rules of any governmental or supra-national bodies or authorities or regulatory or self-regulatory organization or failure of any such body, authority or organization for any reason, to perform its obligations.

Section 16.Miscellaneous.

(a)Amendment and Modification.  This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument executed by all the parties, except that the Procedures attached as Attachment A and the Exhibits hereto may be amended, modified or supplemented by the Trust and the Managing Owner, without consent of any Beneficial Owner or Authorized Participant from time to time by the following procedure. After the amendment, modification or supplement has been agreed to, the Managing Owner will send a copy of the proposed amendment, modification or supplement to the Authorized Participant via email or regular mail. For the purposes of this Agreement, (i) an email will be deemed received by the recipient thereof on the day the notice is sent and (ii) mail will be deemed received by the recipient thereof on the third (3rd) day following the deposit of such mail into the United States postal system. Within thirteen (13) calendar days after its deemed receipt, if sent by email, and ten (10) calendar days after its deemed receipt, if sent by regular mail, the amendment, modification or supplement will become part of this Agreement, the Attachments or the Exhibits, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms.

(b)Waiver of Compliance.  Any failure of any of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be waived by the party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party granting such waiver, but any such written waiver, or the failure to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein, shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

(c)Notices.  Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, all notices required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing and delivered by personal delivery, by postage prepaid registered or certified United States first class mail, return receipt requested, by nationally recognized overnight courier (delivery confirmation received) or by telephonic facsimile or similar means of same day delivery (transmission confirmation received), with a confirming copy regular mail, postage prepaid. Unless otherwise notified in writing, all notices to the Trust shall be given or sent to the Managing Owner. All notices shall be directed to the address or facsimile numbers indicated below the signature line of the parties on the signature page hereof.

(d)Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(e)Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties, 

11

 

except that any entity into which a party hereto may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which such party hereunder shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the party, shall be the successor of the party under this Agreement and except that the Managing Owner may delegate its obligations hereunder to the Distributor, the Marketing Agent, the Administrator or the Transfer Agent by notice to the Authorized Participant. The party resulting from any such merger, conversion, consolidation or succession shall notify the other parties hereto of the change. Any purported assignment in violation of the provisions hereof shall be null and void.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall be automatically assigned to any successor trustee or Managing Owner at such time such successor qualifies as a successor trustee or Managing Owner under the terms of the Trust Agreement.

(f)Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable Delaware conflict of laws principles) as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and of any federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan in such State in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any action taken or omitted hereunder, and waives any claim of forum non conveniens and any objections as to laying of venue. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement.  Each party further waives personal service of any summons, complaint or other process and agrees that service thereof may be made by certified or registered mail directed to such party at such party’s address for purposes of notices hereunder.

(g)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement as to any party hereto to produce or account for more than one such counterpart executed and delivered by such party.

(h)Interpretation. The article and section headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(i)Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Trust Agreement, along with any other agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the Trust Agreement, supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, provided, however, that the Authorized Participant shall not be deemed by this provision, or any other provision of this Agreement, to be a party to the Trust Agreement.

(j)Severance. If any provision of this Agreement is held by any court or any act, regulation, rule or decision of any other governmental or supra national body or authority or regulatory or self-regulatory organization to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, it shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable only to the extent so held and shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement and this Agreement 

12

 

will be construed as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein, unless the Managing Owner determines in its discretion that the provision of this Agreement that was held invalid, illegal or unenforceable does affect the validity, legality or enforceability of one or more other provisions of this Agreement, and that this Agreement should not be continued without the provision that was held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and in that case, upon the Managing Owner’s notification of the trustee of such a determination, this Agreement shall immediately terminate and the Managing Owner will so notify the Authorized Participant immediately.

(k)No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.

(l)Survival. Sections 8 (Indemnification) and 14 (Third Party Beneficiaries) hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(m)Other Usages. The following usages shall apply in interpreting this Agreement: (i) references to a governmental or quasi-governmental agency, authority or instrumentality shall also refer to a regulatory body that succeeds to the functions of such agency, authority or instrumentality; and (ii) “including” means “including, but not limited to.”

In connection with the Authorized Participant’s acceptance of an interest in the Trust, the Authorized Participant does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the Managing Owner, and its successors and assigns, as its true and lawful Attorney-in-Fact, with full power of substitution, in its name, place and stead, in the execution, acknowledgment, filing and publishing of Trust documents, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) any certificates and other instruments, including but not limited to, any applications for authority to do business and amendments thereto, which the Managing Owner deems appropriate to qualify or continue the Trust as a business or statutory trust in the jurisdictions in which the Trust may conduct business, so long as such qualifications and continuations are in accordance with the terms of the Fifth Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement of the Trust, as amended from time to time (the “Trust Agreement”), or which may be required to be filed by the Trust or the Shareholders under the laws of any jurisdiction; (ii) any instrument which may be required to be filed by the Trust under the laws of any state or by any governmental agency, or which the Managing Owner deems advisable to file; and (iii) the Trust Agreement and any documents which may be required to effect an amendment to the Trust Agreement approved under the terms of the Trust Agreement, and the continuation of the Trust, the admission of the signer of the Power of Attorney as a Limited Owner or of others as additional or substituted Limited Owners, or the termination of the Trust, provided such continuation, admission or termination is in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.  The Power of Attorney granted hereby shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and shall survive, and shall not be affected by, the Authorized Participant’s subsequent insolvency or

ANNEX I
WEBSITE BASED ORDERS
AND
TELEPHONE/FAX BASED ORDERS

CREATION PROCEDURES

1.PLACING A CREATION ORDER.

Participants may submit Website Based Orders or Fax/Telephone Based Orders to the Transfer Agent as provided by these Procedures.

NOTE THAT IF THE PARTICIPANT PLACES A TELEPHONE/FAX BASED ORDER, THE TELEPHONE CALL OR FAX IN WHICH THE CONFIRMATION NUMBER IS ISSUED INITIATES THE CREATION ORDER PROCESS BUT DOES NOT ALONE CONSTITUTE THE CREATION ORDER.  A CREATION ORDER IS CONSIDERED A COMPLETE CREATION ORDER ONLY UPON RECEIPT OF THE CONFIRMATION NUMBER.

Creation Orders for Creation Baskets may be initiated only on Business Days.  Creation Orders may only be made in whole Creation Baskets of the Trust.

To begin a Creation Order, an Authorized Person of the Participant may telephone the Transfer Agent at (718) 315-7500 or such other number as the Managing Owner designates in writing to the Participant.  This telephone call must be made by an Authorized Person of the Participant and answered by the Transfer Agent before the Order Cut-Off Time.  Upon verifying the authenticity of the Authorized Person (as determined by the use of the appropriate PIN Number), the Transfer Agent will request that the Authorized Person place the Creation Order.  To do so, the Authorized Person must provide the appropriate ticker symbol when referring to the Trust.  After the Authorized Person has placed the Creation Order, the Transfer Agent will read the Creation Order back to the Authorized Person.  The Authorized Person then must confirm that the Creation Order has been taken correctly by the Transfer Agent.  If the Authorized Person confirms that the Creation Order has been taken correctly, the Transfer Agent will issue a confirmation number (the “Confirmation Number”) to the Authorized Person.  

All Creation Orders may also be placed by an Authorized Person as a Website Based Order by the Order Cut-Off Time.

PLEASE NOTE:  A CREATION ORDER REQUEST IS NOT COMPLETE UNTIL THE CONFIRMATION NUMBER IS ISSUED BY THE TRANSFER AGENT.  WITH RESPECT TO THE TRUST, A CREATION ORDER FOR CREATION BASKETS CANNOT BE CANCELED BY THE PARTICIPANT AFTER THE ORDER CUT-OFF TIME.  INCOMING TELEPHONE CALLS ARE QUEUED AND WILL BE HANDLED IN THE SEQUENCE RECEIVED.  ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTICIPANT SHOULD NOT HANG UP AND REDIAL.  CALLS THAT ARE IN PROGRESS AT THE ORDER CUT-OFF TIME ARE VALID AND THE CREATION ORDER WILL BE TAKEN.  PLEASE NOTE THAT "IN PROGRESS" IS DEFINED AS A PARTICIPANT ACTUALLY SPEAKING WITH THE TRANSFER AGENT.  CALLS THAT ARE 

4

 

 

PLACED BEFORE THE ORDER CUT-OFF TIME THAT ARE IN THE HOLDING QUEUE UNANSWERED AT OR AFTER THE ORDER CUT-OFF TIME WILL BE VERBALLY DENIED.  INCOMING CALLS THAT ARE RECEIVED AFTER THE ORDER CUT-OFF TIME WILL NOT BE ANSWERED BY THE TRANSFER AGENT.  ALL TELEPHONE CALLS WILL BE RECORDED.

2.RECEIPT OF CONFIRMATION.

Subject to the conditions that a properly completed telephone or fax Creation Order has been placed by the Participant not later than the Order Cut-Off Time, and other provisions contained in these procedures, the Managing Owner will accept the Creation Order on behalf of the Trust and will confirm in writing to the Participant that its Creation Order has been accepted within 45 minutes after the designated Order Cut-Off Time on the Business Day that the Creation Order is received.  Once the Creation Order has been approved by the Managing Owner, the Managing Owner will sign or time-stamp the Creation Order and send that Creation Order to the Transfer Agent. 

Typically, if a Web-Based Order is submitted, the Managing Owner may confirm the order on-line.  Alternatively, if the Managing Owner prefers to confirm Orders via fax, the Transfer Agent will download and print the Order Form and fax it to the Managing Owner for review and approval.  Upon receipt of the Order Form signed by the Managing Owner, the Transfer Agent will issue an email confirmation to the Participant and the Managing Owner to reflect the Order status (approval or cancellation).

3.QUALITY ASSURANCE.

After a Confirmation Number is issued by the Transfer Agent to the Participant, the Participant will fax a written version of the Creation Order to the Transfer Agent.   Upon receipt, the Transfer Agent should immediately telephone the Participant if the Transfer Agent believes that the Creation Order has not been completed correctly by the Participant.  In addition, the Transfer Agent will telephone the Participant if the Transfer Agent is in non-receipt of the Creation Order within 15 minutes after the Creation Order has been called into the Transfer Agent.

4.REJECTING OR SUSPENDING CREATION ORDERS.

The Managing Owner reserves the absolute right to reject acceptance of a Creation Order or Creation Basket Capital Contribution if (i) the Managing Owner or Transfer Agent has determined the Creation Order or Creation Basket Capital Contribution is not in proper form; (ii) the Managing Owner has determined the acceptance or receipt of which would have adverse tax consequences to the Trust or to the Shareholders; (iii) the acceptance or receipt of which could, in the opinion of counsel to the Managing Owner, be unlawful; or (iv) circumstances outside the control of the Managing Owner or the Transfer Agent make it for all practical purposes not feasible to process Creation Baskets.  The Managing Owner shall notify the Participant of a rejection of any Creation Order.  The Managing Owner may not revoke a previously accepted Creation Order, as defined in these Procedures.

Neither the Managing Owner nor its delegate will be liable to any person or in any way for any loss or damages that may result from any such rejection.

5.  DETERMINATION OF PAYMENT AMOUNT.

As promptly as practicable following the publication of the net asset value of the Trust and the net asset value per Share of the Shares on the Creation Order Date, the Managing Owner shall communicate to the Participant the amount of cash necessary for the Creation Basket Capital Contribution and details of the method of payment (e.g., wiring instructions) required for the Creation Basket Capital Contribution.

6. CONTRACTUAL SETTLEMENT.

(a)Through the CNS Clearing Process

Except as provided below, the Creation Basket Capital Contribution must be made in same day funds through the National Securities Clearing Corporation (the “NSCC”) to a Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) account maintained by the Trust’s custodian (the “Custodian”) on or before the Settlement Time, after acceptance of the Creation Order, together with the applicable Transaction Fee.  A Creation Basket of the Trust will be issued to the Participant at the Settlement Time through the NSCC’s Continuous Net Settlement (CNS) system assuming timely payment of the Creation Basket Capital Contribution and the Transaction Fee through the CNS system in accordance with the terms, conditions and guarantees as set forth in CNS agreements to which the Custodian and Participant have entered into.

The Creation Basket Capital Contribution must be delivered through the DTC to an account at the DTC maintained by the Custodian on behalf of the Managing Owner and the Trust on or before the Settlement Time, together with the applicable Transaction Fee.

The Custodian on behalf of both the Managing Owner and the Trust will cause the Trust to deposit the Creation Basket with the DTC in accordance with the DTC’s customary procedures, for the credit of the account of the Participant that placed the Creation Order.

7. PARTIAL CREATION ORDER

(a) If by the Settlement Time the Managing Owner has not received confirmation of receipt of (A) the Transaction Fee, and (B) the full Creation Basket Capital Contribution due from the Participant submitting the Creation Order, the Managing Owner will settle the Creation Order to the extent of whole Creation Baskets for which it has received the full amount of cash required in connection with the creation of such Basket(s) and any balance of the Creation Order will be cancelled.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Creation Baskets not created for failure of the Participant to provide the full Creation Basket Capital Contribution as indicated above, shall be created through a new and separate Creation Order subject to all of the procedures outlined above, including the payment of the Transaction Fee associated with a Creation Order.

(b) If by the Settlement Time the Managing Owner has not received confirmation of receipt of (A) the Transaction Fee, and (B) the full Creation Basket Capital Contribution due from the Participant submitting the Creation Order, the Participant will be charged by the Managing Owner an additional processing charge of $2,000.
