Item 1.01. |
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On October 11, 2023, W.W. Grainger, Inc.
(the “Company”), as borrower, entered into a five-year syndicated revolving credit facility agreement (the “Credit
Facility”) with the financial institutions and other lenders named therein, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”),
as administrative agent. Pursuant to the Credit Facility, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Borrowers”)
may obtain loans in various currencies on a revolving basis in an aggregate amount not exceeding the U.S. Dollar equivalent of $1,250,000,000,
which amount may be increased from time to time up to $1,875,000,000 at the request of the Company, subject to obtaining additional commitments
and other customary conditions. The Credit Facility replaces the Company’s former $1,250,000,000 unsecured revolving credit
facility, dated as of February 14, 2020 (the “2020 Credit Facility”), among the Company, the lenders party thereto,
and JPMorgan, as administrative agent, which was scheduled to mature on February 14, 2025. The termination date for the
2020 Credit Facility was October 11, 2023.
The Credit Facility is unsecured and repayable at maturity on
October 11, 2028, subject to two, one-year extensions if sufficient lenders agree. Borrowings under the Credit Facility will
bear interest, at the Company’s option, at (a) the Relevant Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) for the applicable
currency plus a margin determined with reference to the rating on the Company’s non-credit-enhanced, senior unsecured
long-term debt, (b) the Canadian prime rate for certain Canadian dollar loans plus a margin determined with reference to the rating
on the Company’s non-credit-enhanced, senior unsecured long-term debt, or (c) base rate, which is the greatest of
(i) the Wall Street Journal prime rate, (ii) greater of (A) the federal funds rate and (B) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
overnight rate, in each case plus 0.50% per annum or (iii) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Facility) for
a one month interest period plus 1.00% per annum, plus, in each case, a margin determined with reference to the rating on the
Company’s non-credit-enhanced, senior unsecured long-term debt. The facility fees are also determined with reference to
the rating on the Company’s non-credit-enhanced, senior unsecured long-term debt.
The Credit Facility contains customary representations and warranties
and covenants for a transaction of this type, including covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries limiting liens, substantial
asset sales and mergers. Most of these restrictions are subject to certain minimum thresholds and exceptions. In addition,
the Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods) payment
default, failure to comply with covenants, material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings,
change of control, ERISA matters and cross-acceleration to other debt agreements. The Company has unconditionally guaranteed the
obligations of each other Borrower under the Credit Facility.
The above summary of the Credit Facility does not purport to be complete
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Facility, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 10.1
hereto.
Certain of the lenders and their affiliates have from time to time
performed, and/or may in the future perform, for the Company and its subsidiaries, various banking, underwriting, and other financial
services, for which they receive customary fees and expenses.

such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component
thereof); or

the Loan Documents) and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, extensions,
supplements and other modifications thereto, but only to the extent that such amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements and other
modifications are not prohibited by any Loan Document; and (b) references to any Law shall include all statutory and regulatory
provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such Law.
1.05 Exchange
Rates; Currency Equivalents. (a) The Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Term Benchmark Borrowings
or RFR Borrowings denominated in Alternative Currencies on each Revaluation Date. Such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective as of
such Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes
of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided
herein, the applicable amount of any Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such Dollar Equivalent
amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent.
(b) Wherever
in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Term Benchmark Loan, Canadian Prime Loan,
CBR Loan or an RFR Loan, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing or Loan
is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amount (rounded to the nearest unit of
such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent.
1.06 Additional
Alternative Currencies. (a) The Company may from time to time request that a Term Benchmark Loan or an RFR Loan be made in
a currency other than Dollars or those specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency”; provided that
such requested currency is a lawful currency that is readily available, not restricted and freely transferable, tradeable and convertible
into Dollars (each, a “Requested Currency”).
(b) Any
such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., five (5) Business Days prior to the date of the
desired Borrowing (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of any such request. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 a.m., two (2) Business
Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Term Benchmark Loan or an RFR Loan in
such Requested Currency.
(c) Any
failure by a Lender to respond to such request within the time period specified in subsection (b) above shall be deemed to
be a refusal by such Lender to permit a Term Benchmark Loan or an RFR Loan to be made in such Requested Currency. If the Administrative
Agent and all the Lenders consent to making Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans in such Requested Currency, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly so notify the Company and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for
purposes of any Borrowings of Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loans. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request
for an additional currency under this Section 1.06, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Company.
(d) If
after any currency other than Dollars is agreed pursuant to the terms hereof to be available hereunder, currency control or other exchange
regulations are imposed in the country in which such currency is issued, or any other event occurs, in each case with the result that
different types of such currency are introduced and (i) such country’s currency is, in the reasonable determination of the
Administrative Agent, no longer readily available, or unrestricted, or freely traded, or tradeable and convertible into Dollars, (ii) a
Dollar Equivalent of such country’s currency is not readily calculable in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent
or (iii) such country’s currency is no longer a currency in which the Required Lenders are willing to make Loans (each of
(i), (ii) and (iii), a “Disqualifying Event”), then the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders
and the Company, and such country’s currency shall no longer be available hereunder until such time as the Disqualifying Event(s) no
longer exist, but in any event within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent, the Company
shall repay all Loans in such currency to which the Disqualifying Event applies or convert such Loans into the Dollar Equivalent of such
Loans in Dollars.
1.07 Times
of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Central time (daylight or standard,
as applicable).
1.08 Interest
Rates; Benchmark Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency may be derived from
an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence
of a Benchmark Transition Event, Section 3.03 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative
Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission,
performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor
rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative,
successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest
rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any
interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any
relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Company. The Administrative Agent may select information sources
or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced
in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender
or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages,
costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any
such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
1.09 Letter
of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the amount
of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms
or the terms of any Letter of Credit Agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount
thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to
all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time.
1.10 Divisions.
For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable
event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset,
right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the
subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired
on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.
ARTICLE II
THE COMMITMENTS AND BORROWING
2.01 Committed
Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Committed
Loan”) to the Company or a Designated Borrower in Agreed Currencies from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability
Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however,
that after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, (i) the sum of the Total Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments
and (ii) the Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s
Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay
under Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. Committed Loans denominated in Dollars may be Base
Rate Loans, Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans, as further provided herein. Committed Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency may
be Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans in the applicable Relevant Rate, as further provided herein.
2.02 Borrowings,
Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans.
(a) Each
Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other and each continuation of Term Benchmark Loans shall
be made upon the Company’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by a Committed Loan Notice. Each
such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (i) at least three (3) U.S. Government Securities
Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars,
(ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans denominated
in Alternative Currencies, (iii) five (5) RFR Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of
RFR Loans and (iv) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans or of any conversion of Term Benchmark Loans
denominated in Dollars to Base Rate Committed Loans; provided that any such notice of a Borrowing of a Base Rate Committed Loan
to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.18(e) may be given not later than 9:00 a.m. on
the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Borrowing of or conversion to Base
Rate Committed Loans, or RFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;
provided that any Borrowing of a Base Rate Committed Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is required to finance the reimbursement
of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.18(e). Each Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) whether the Company
is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one Type to the other or a continuation of Term Benchmark Loans,
(ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the
principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to
which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto,
(vi) the currency of the Committed Loans to be borrowed (which shall be an Agreed Currency) and (vii) if applicable, the Designated
Borrower. If the Company fails to specify a currency in a Committed Loan Notice requesting a Borrowing, then the Committed Loans so requested
shall be made in Dollars. If the Company fails to specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice for Loans to be denominated
in Dollars, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as Base Rate Committed Loans. If the Company fails to timely request a
continuation of Term Benchmark Loans, such Loans shall be continued as Term Benchmark Loans in their original currency with an Interest
Period of one month. If the Company requests a Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans in any such
Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.
No Committed Loan may be converted into or continued as a Committed Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid
in the original currency of such Committed Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.
(b) Following
receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Pro
Rata Share of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Company, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic continuation of Committed Loans, in each case as described
in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available
to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 2:00
p.m., in the case of any Committed Loan denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative
Agent in the case of any Committed Loan denominated in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable
Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent
shall make all funds so received available to the Company or such other applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative
Agent either by (i) crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds
or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the
Administrative Agent by the Company; provided that Committed Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
provided in Section 2.18(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.
(c) Except
as otherwise provided herein, a Term Benchmark Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such
Loan.
(d) The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to RFR Loans or any Interest Period
for Term Benchmark Loans upon determination of such interest rate.
(e) After
giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other and all continuations of Committed
Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than six (6) Interest Periods in effect with respect to Term Benchmark Committed
Loans.
(f) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be permitted to request pursuant to this Section 2.02 a CBR Loan, a Canadian Prime
Rate Loan or an RFR Loan bearing interest based on Daily Simple SOFR (it being understood and agreed that the Canadian Prime Rate, Daily
Simple SOFR and Central Bank Rate shall only apply to the extent provided in Section 2.02(g) below or Section 3.03).
(g) 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 Term Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, (x) each Term Benchmark Borrowing, in each
case denominated in Dollars, shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (y) each
Term Benchmark Borrowing and each RFR Borrowing, in each case denominated in Canadian Dollars, shall be converted to a Canadian Prime
Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (z) each Term Benchmark Borrowing and each RFR Borrowing, in
each case denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Canadian Dollars) shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable
Agreed Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate or Canadian Prime Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be
determined, any outstanding affected Loans denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency shall either be (1) converted to a
Base Rate Borrowing denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) at the end of the
Interest Period (or immediately in the case of an RFR Loan), as applicable, therefor or (2) prepaid at the end of the applicable
Interest Period (or immediately in the case of an RFR Loan), as applicable, in full; provided that if no election is made by the Company
by the earlier of (A) the date that is three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Company of such notice and (B) the
last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Term Benchmark Loan, the Company shall be deemed to have elected clause (1) above.
2.03 [Intentionally
Omitted].
2.04 Prepayments.
(a) Each Borrower may, upon notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline
Loan, the Swingline Lender) substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (each, a “Notice of Prepayment”)
at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans and Swingline Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty;
provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (A) three (3) U.S.
Government Securities Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars, (B) four (4) Business
Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies or CBR Loans, (C) five (5) Business
Days prior to any date of prepayment of RFR Loans and (D) on the date of prepayment of any Base Rate Committed Loans or Canadian
Prime Loans or Swingline Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans denominated in Dollars shall be in a principal
amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; (iii) any prepayment of Term Benchmark Loan, RFR Loans,
CBR Loans or Canadian Prime Loans in Alternative Currencies shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple
of $500,000 in excess thereof (or in each case, the Dollar equivalent thereof); (iv) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans
shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; (v) any prepayment of Swingline
Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, in the case of each of clauses
(ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (vi) any such notice may be conditioned
upon the effectiveness of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of one or more other transactions or events. Each such notice shall specify
the class and currency of Loans to be prepaid (Committed Loans or Swingline Loans), the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of
such Loans to be prepaid and, if Term Benchmark Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative
Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
such prepayment (except for prepayments to be made directly to the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein, which prepayments shall
be made to the Swingline Lender). Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together
with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.15, each such prepayment
of Committed Loans shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) If
for any reason the sum of the Total Credit Exposure at any time exceeds the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, the Borrowers shall
promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) prepay Loans or cash collateralize LC Exposure in an account with the Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 2.18(j), as applicable, in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, with each such prepayment
applied first, to the principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans, second, to the principal amount of outstanding Committed
Loans and third, to provide cash collateral up to an amount equal to 105% of all LC Exposure at such time pursuant to Section 2.18(j).
(d) If
the Administrative Agent notifies the Company at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies
at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Aggregate Commitments then in effect (including, without limitation, as a result
of fluctuations in currency exchange rates), then, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall
prepay Loans in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed
100% of the Aggregate Commitments then in effect, with each such prepayment applied to the principal amount of outstanding Committed
Loans.
2.05 Termination
or Reduction of Commitments. The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from
time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (a) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the date of termination or reduction; (b) any such partial
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (c) the Company shall
not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the sum
of the Total Credit Exposure would exceed the Aggregate Commitments; and (d) any such notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness
of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of one or more other transactions or events. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the
Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall
be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share. All facility and utilization fees accrued until the effective
date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
2.06 Repayment
of Loans. Each Borrower shall repay (i) to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Committed Loans
made to such Borrower outstanding on such date and (ii) directly to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each
Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the fifth Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that
on each date that a Committed Borrowing is made, the Company and the other U.S. Borrowers shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding
and the proceeds of any such Committed Borrowing shall first be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding.
2.07 Interest.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Term Benchmark Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Relevant Rate for Term Benchmark
Loans denominated in the applicable Agreed Currency for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate
Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; (iii) each RFR Committed Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date or conversion date at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for the
applicable Agreed Currency plus the Applicable Rate; (iv) each Canadian Prime Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date or conversion date at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Prime Rate plus
the Applicable Rate; and (v) each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date to the date such Swingline Loan is due and repaid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate or such other rate
mutually agreed to by the Company or such other applicable U.S. Borrower and the Swingline Lender.
(b) Subject
to Section 11.03, at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default (except for an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(f) or
Section 8.01(g), for which no such request by or consent of the Required Lenders shall be required) (i) the Borrowers
shall no longer have the option to request Term Benchmark Loans and (ii) all Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Interest shall continue to accrue on the Loans after the filing by or against any Borrower of any petition seeking any relief under any
Debtor Relief Law.
(c) Interest
on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified
herein. On each Interest Payment Date for a Base Rate Loan, interest accrued on such Loan to but excluding such Interest Payment Date
shall be due and payable. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment,
and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
(d) Interest
Act (Canada). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated
on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of
calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by
the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the
principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest
stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. This Section 2.07(d) shall apply
solely with respect to Committed Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars.
2.08 Fees.
(a) Facility
Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share (subject
to Section 2.15 with respect to any Defaulting Lender), a facility fee in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate times
the actually daily amount of the Aggregate Commitment (or if the Aggregate Commitment has terminated, of the Total Credit Exposure),
regardless of usage. The facility fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Committed
Loans and Swingline Loans remain outstanding), including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV
is not met. The facility fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the fifteenth Business Day to occur after the last
day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the
Maturity Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand). On each such payment date all facility fees that have accrued to but excluding
such last day of March, June, September or December, or the Maturity Date, as the case may be, shall be due and payable. The facility
fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily
amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate
was in effect.
(b) Other
Fees. The Company shall pay to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in Dollars, fees in
the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. The Company shall pay to the Lenders, in Dollars, such fees as shall have
been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.
(c) Letter
of Credit Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee
with respect to its participations in each outstanding Letter of Credit, which shall accrue on the face amount of such Letter of Credit
at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans, during the period from and including
the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding the date on which such Letter of Credit and all LC Exposure in respect
thereof is no longer outstanding, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the face amount of such Letter of Credit, during
the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit and all LC
Exposure in respect thereof is no longer outstanding, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance,
amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such Issuing Bank
relating the Letters of Credit as from time to time in effect. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the
last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the fifteenth Business Day following such
last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the
date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable
on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All
participation fees and fronting 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).
2.09 Computation
of Interest and Fees. Interest computed by reference to the Base Rate (except when based on the Prime Rate), the Term SOFR Rate,
the EURIBOR Rate, or Daily Simple RFR with respect to Dollars hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days. Interest
computed by reference to the Daily Simple RFR with respect to Sterling, the CDOR Rate, the Canadian Prime Rate, the Central Bank Rate
or the Base Rate only at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or
366 days in a leap year), or, in the case of interest in respect of Committed Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies as to which
market practice differs from the foregoing, in accordance with such market practice. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on
which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid,
provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear
interest for one day. All interest hereunder on any Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount
of such Loan as of the applicable date of determination. A determination of the applicable Base Rate, Canadian Prime Rate, Adjusted Term
SOFR Rate, Term SOFR Rate, EURIBOR Rate, Adjusted EURIBOR Rate, CDOR Rate, Adjusted CDOR Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple RFR, Daily Simple
RFR or Central Bank Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
2.10 Evidence
of Debt. The Borrowings made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by
the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each
Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Borrowings made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest
and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation
of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts
and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
2.11 Payments
Generally.
(a) (i) All
payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense,
recoupment or setoff.
(ii) Except
payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender or as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect
to principal of and interest on any Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall
be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative
Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.
(iii) Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Committed Loans
denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which
such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later
than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the dates specified herein. If, for any reason, any Borrower is prohibited
by any Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in
the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its
Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s
Lending Office.
(iv) All
payments received by the Administrative Agent (A) after 3:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars or (B) after the Applicable
Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received
on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(b) If
any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following
Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(c) Unless
any Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the time any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative
Agent hereunder, that such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance
thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact
made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then:
(i) if
any Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such
assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from
and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to
the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and
(ii) if
any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same
Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to
a Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate
per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent,
then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan, included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay
such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon
the applicable Borrower, and such Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the
Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or
any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
A notice of the Administrative
Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error.
(d) If
any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender to any Borrower as provided in the
foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to such Borrower by the Administrative Agent
because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with
the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without
interest.
(e) The
obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans and fund participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit are several
and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder
shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the
failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan or purchase its participation.
(f) Nothing
herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan or participation in any particular place or manner or
to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan or participation in any particular
place or manner.
(g) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions, if, after the making of any Loan in any currency other than Dollars, currency control or exchange regulations
are imposed in the country which issues such currency, or any other event occurs, in each case with the result that the type of currency
in which the Loan was made no longer exists or would no longer be an Alternative Currency or Required Currency elected hereunder or the
Borrowers are not able to make payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or, as the case may be, the Lenders
directly in such currency, then all payments to be made by the Borrowers hereunder in such currency shall instead be made in Dollars
in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent (as of the date or repayment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties
hereto that the Borrowers take all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.
2.12 Sharing
of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Committed Loans made
by it or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans funded by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the
exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender
shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations
in the Committed Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing
Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Committed Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each
of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing
Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the
purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing
Lender the purchase price paid therefor, without interest thereon. Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation
from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off,
but subject to Section 11.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such
Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the
absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any
such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase
have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion
of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.
The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant
to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting
Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the permitted assignment of or sale of a participation in any
of its Committed Loans or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans or Commitment to any assignee or participant.
Each Loan Party consents
to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant
to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
2.13 Designated
Borrowers. (a) The Company may at any time and from time to time designate any Subsidiary as a Designated Borrower by (i) delivery
to the Administrative Agent of (A) a Designated Borrower Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company and (B) such
supporting resolutions, charter documents, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel, completed tax forms to be filed in the relevant
jurisdiction and other documents or information, in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may
be required by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion (including, without limitation, information necessary to evaluate
(1) any withholding tax as may arise in respect of any Loans made to such Subsidiary and (2) the manner in which Loans may
be made available to such Subsidiary, including in Dollars or the requested Alternative Currency); and (ii) delivery to each Lender
of any deliveries from such Subsidiary which may be required under Section 11.20 or any other “know your customer”
regulations to which such Lender is subject, which deliveries must be reasonably satisfactory to each such Lender. Upon satisfaction
of clauses (i) and (ii) in the immediately preceding sentence, such Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be
a Designated Borrower and a party to this Agreement; provided, that each Lender shall only be required to lend to any such Designated
Borrower that is not a Pre-Approved Designated Borrower to the extent that such Lender is satisfied, in its reasonable discretion, that
(x) the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which such Subsidiary is organized and is located permit extensions of credit
and other financial accommodations from the U.S. into such jurisdictions and such Lender would not be subject to regulatory or legal
limitations, restrictions, penalties or costs as a result of lending to such Subsidiary, (y) no gross-up payment shall be required
to be paid or withholding tax shall accrue or shall otherwise be payable in connection with the making of Loans to such Subsidiary (provided,
that to the extent any such taxes ultimately accrue or are otherwise payable, or any gross-up amounts ultimately are required to be paid,
then all such taxes and gross-up amounts shall solely be for the account of the Company and the applicable Borrower, and the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall have no liability, payment or reimbursement obligations with respect thereto) and (z) such Lender would
not be subject to any material financial disadvantage arising out of or attributable to the jurisdictions in which such Subsidiary is
organized and is located or the nature of such Subsidiary’s activities. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to adjust
the provisions of Article II and Article III of this Agreement as it may reasonably determine and as may be acceptable
to the Company to enable the Lenders that are able to make Loans to a Designated Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence
to make Loans to such Designated Borrower in the relevant Alternative Currencies on a non-pro rata basis with Lenders that are not so
able, with such adjustments to be made in a manner that, to the extent practicable, are reasonably equitable to all the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall also have the right to adjust the provisions of this Agreement as it may reasonably determine and as acceptable
to the Company to enable the Lenders to make Loans in the relevant Alternative Currencies and to the relevant Designated Borrowers.
(b) As
soon as practicable upon receipt of a Designated Borrower Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof, together with
a Designated Borrower Notice, to each Lender. The Company shall guarantee the Obligations of such Designated Borrower pursuant to Article X
hereof. Each Subsidiary that is or becomes a Designated Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.13 hereby irrevocably appoints
the Company as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each related document, including service of process. For the
avoidance of doubt, no Subsidiary shall become a Designated Borrower hereunder if the extension of Loans to such Subsidiary by the Lenders
would violate any applicable Law.
(c) The
Company may at any time execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a written notice of termination with respect to any Designated
Borrower, whereupon such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Designated Borrower and a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, no termination with respect to a Designated Borrower will become effective as to any Designated Borrower at a time when any
principal of or interest on any Loan to such Designated Borrower shall be outstanding hereunder; provided that such termination
of a Designated Borrower shall be effective to terminate the right of such Designated Borrower to borrow any further Loans under this
Agreement.
2.14 Increase
in Commitments; Incremental Term Loans. (a) Request for Increase or Incremental Term Loans. Provided there exists no
Event of Default, from time to time upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Company may request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments or extension of one
or more tranches of term loans (each an “Incremental Term Loan”) by or for an amount (for all such requests) not exceeding
$625,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase or extension of a tranche of Incremental Term Loans shall
be in a minimum amount of $75,000,000 and (ii) the Company may make a maximum of five (5) such requests. With respect to any
request for such an increase or extension, the Company may invite existing Lenders to increase their Commitments or extend Incremental
Term Loans or additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders, in each case, pursuant to a Lender Addition and Acknowledgment Agreement
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit H hereto (each, a “Lender Addition and Acknowledgment Agreement”).
Nothing contained in this Section 2.14 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender
to increase its Commitment or extend Incremental Term Loans hereunder at any time and no Lender shall be required to increase its Commitment
or extend Incremental Term Loans hereunder. In connection with any increase of the Commitments or Incremental Term Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.14, any Eligible Assignee that becomes a Lender and party hereto pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall (x) execute
such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (y) in the case of any such new Lender that
is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the Administrative Agent, its name,
address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know
your customer” and Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including without limitation, the Patriot Act.
(b) Effective
Date and Allocations. If the Commitments are increased or Incremental Term Loans are agreed to be extended in accordance with this
Section, the Administrative Agent and the Company shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”)
and the final allocation of such increase or extension. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of
the final allocation of such increase or extension and the Increase Effective Date.
(c) Conditions
to Effectiveness of Increase or Extension of Incremental Term Loans. As conditions precedent to such increase in Commitments or extension
of Incremental Term Loans, (i) the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate with respect to each Loan Party
dated as of the Increase Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company (A) if the resolutions previously delivered
did not approve the increased amount of Commitments or extension of Incremental Term Loans, certifying and attaching the resolutions
adopted by the applicable governing body of each Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase or extension and (B) certifying
that, before and after giving effect to such increase or extension, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article V
and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent such representations and warranties
are qualified by materiality, in which case, they shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Increase Effective Date,
except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and
correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (except to the extent such representations and warranties are qualified by materiality,
in which case, they shall be true and correct in all respects) and (2) no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist after
giving effect to such increase or extension; (ii) this Agreement will be amended by the Company, the Administrative Agent and those
Lender(s) whose Commitment(s) is or are being increased (or by whom Incremental Term Loans are being extended) or who are being
joined as new Lenders (but without any requirement that the consent of any other Lenders be obtained) to reflect the revised Commitment
amounts (including the extension of Incremental Term Loans and any necessary or appropriate amendments to reflect the inclusion of Incremental
Term Loans in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent) of each of such Lenders, (iii) the Administrative Agent will deliver
an updated Schedule 2.01 to the Company and each of the Lenders (including each new Lender) reflecting the revised Aggregate
Commitment amount (including all Incremental Term Loans) and Pro Rata Shares of each of the Lenders and (iv) the Company and each
such Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Lender Addition and Acknowledgment Agreement. The Lenders shall assign,
or purchase or sell participations in, Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date to the extent necessary to keep the
outstanding Committed Loans ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this
Section. The Incremental Term Loans (x) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Committed Loans, (y) shall
not have a weighted average life to maturity earlier than the Maturity Date (but may have amortization prior to such date) and (z) shall
be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Committed Loans; provided that (A) the
terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans maturing after the Maturity Date may provide for material additional
or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods after the Maturity Date and (B) the
Incremental Term Loans may be priced differently than the Committed Loans.
(d) Conflicting
Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.12 or Section 11.01 to the contrary.
2.15 Defaulting
Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then,
until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(a) Adjustments.
(i) Waivers
and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this
Agreement and any other Loan Document shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01.
(ii) Reallocation
of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that
Defaulting Lender under any Loan Document (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise,
and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.09),
shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any
amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any
amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize on a pro
rata basis each Issuing Bank’s LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender; fourth, as the Company may request (so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund
its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative
Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest-bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy
obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund future Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize each Issuing Bank’s
future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement; sixth,
to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result
of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; seventh, so long
as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Company as a result of any judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction obtained by the Company against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of
its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed
by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans
or LC Disbursements in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were
made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied
or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro
rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, that Defaulting Lender until such time
as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s
LC Exposure and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (b) below.
Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender or posting of cash collateral that are applied (or
held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected
by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain
Fees. That Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any facility fee pursuant to Section 2.08(a) for any period
during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans and participations
in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans actually funded by it (and the Company shall not be required to pay the remaining amount of
such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(b) If
any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i) all
or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than, in the case of a Defaulting Lender that
is a Swingline Lender, the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of such term) shall
be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent that such
reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting Lender, cause such non-Defaulting Lender’s Credit Exposure to exceed its Commitment;
(ii) if
the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one (1) Business
Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure (after giving effect to any partial
reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Issuing
Banks only the U.S. Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to
any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.18(j) for
so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
(iii) if
the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the
Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(a) or Section 2.08(c) with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv) if
the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders
pursuant to Section 2.08(a) and Section 2.08(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’
Pro Rata Shares; and
(v) if
all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or
(ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all facility fees
that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s
Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.08(c) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable ratably to the applicable Issuing Banks until and to the extent that such LC Exposure
is reallocated and/or cash collateralized.
(c) Issuances
of Letters of Credit and Funding of Swingline Loans.
(i) So
long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank
shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting
Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral
will be provided by the Company in accordance with Section 2.15(b), and the Swingline Exposure related to any newly made
Swingline Loan or LC Exposure related to any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders
in a manner consistent with Section 2.15(b)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
(ii) If
following the date hereof (A) any Lender has, or has a direct or indirect parent company that has, (x) become the subject of
a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, (y) had appointed for it a receiver, custodian, conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee
for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with reorganization or liquidation of its business or assets, including the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other state or federal regulatory authority acting in such a capacity or (z) become the subject
of a Bail-In Action or (B) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Banks have a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling
its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, then, in each case and for so long
as such event shall continue, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Banks shall not be
required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, shall
have entered into arrangements with the applicable U.S. Borrower or such Defaulting Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the
Issuing Banks, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Defaulting Lender hereunder.
(d) Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender each agree in writing in their
sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify
the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, (i) the
Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and
(ii) that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Committed Loans of the other Lenders
or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans to be held on a pro
rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided
that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while
that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder
arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
2.16 Extension
of Maturity Date.
(a) Requests
for Extension. The Company may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not later than thirty
(30) days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Maturity Date”), request, no more than
twice during the term of this Agreement, that each Lender extend such Lender’s Maturity Date for an additional one year from the
Existing Maturity Date (with no more than two one-year extensions occurring during the term of this Agreement). Each request shall be
delivered no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Existing Maturity Date. Each request shall indicate the date by which each Lender
shall respond to such request (which shall not be earlier than 25 days after the date the Administrative Agent is notified of such request)
(such date, the “Notice Date”) and the date on which such extension shall be effective (which shall not be later than
thirty (30) days after the date the Administrative Agent is notified of such request, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent
in its sole discretion) (such date, the “Effective Date”).
(b) Lender
Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given
on or prior to the Notice Date, advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (and each Lender
that determines not to so extend its Maturity Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent
of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date)) and any Lender that does not so advise
the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree
to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.
(c) Notification
by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of each Lender’s determination under this Section promptly,
and in any event not more than three (3) Business Days after the Notice Date.
(d) Additional
Commitment Lenders. The Company shall have the right to replace each Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders”
under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) as
provided in Section 11.15; provided that each of such Additional Commitment Lenders shall enter into an Assignment
and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the Existing Maturity Date, undertake a Commitment
(and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment
hereunder on such date).
(e) Minimum
Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed so to extend their Maturity
Date (each, an “Extending Lender”) and the additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Lenders shall be more
than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date, then, effective as of the Effective
Date, the Maturity Date of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year
after the Existing Maturity Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Maturity Date as so extended shall be the next
preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this
Agreement.
(f) Conditions
to Effectiveness of Extensions. As a condition precedent to such extension, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
a certificate of each Borrower dated as of the Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower (i) certifying and
attaching the resolutions adopted by the applicable governing body of such Borrower approving or consenting to such extension if the
resolutions authorizing the extension have not previously been delivered and (ii) in the case of the Company, certifying that, before
and after giving effect to such extension, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other
Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent such representations and warranties are qualified
by materiality, in which case, they shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the Effective Date, except to the extent
that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material
respects as of such earlier date (except to the extent such representations and warranties are qualified by materiality, in which case,
they shall be true and correct in all respects), and except that for purposes of this Section 2.16, the representations and
warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most
recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01 and (B) no
Default or Event of Default exists or would exist after giving effect to such extension. In addition, on the Maturity Date of each Non-Extending
Lender, the Borrowers shall first, prepay any Swingline Loans outstanding on such date, second, provide cash collateral
(or make other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank) with respect to the outstanding Letters of Credit (on terms
acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank and in amounts contemplated by Section 2.18(j)) and third, prepay any Committed
Loans outstanding on such date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05), to the extent necessary
to keep outstanding Credit Exposures ratable with any revised Pro Rata Shares of the respective Lenders effective as of such date after
giving effect to such extension.
(g) Extension
Amendments. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments (collectively, “Extension
Amendments”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order to establish new classes of Commitments
(including as they relate to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit) and Committed Loans created pursuant to an extension under this Section 2.16.
The Company and each other Borrower shall execute such agreements, confirmations or other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably request to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16.
(h) Conflicting
Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.12 or 11.01 to the contrary.
2.17 Swingline
Loans.
(a) Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time during the Availability Period, the Swingline Lender may, but shall have
no obligation to, make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Company or any other U.S. Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $100,000,000, (ii) the
Credit Exposure of the Swingline Lender exceeding its Commitment, (iii) the Credit Exposure of any Lender exceeding its Commitment
and (iv) the sum of the Total Credit Exposure exceeding the Aggregate Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall
not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, the Company or any other U.S. Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.
(b) To
request a Swingline Loan, the Company or the applicable U.S. Borrower shall submit a written notice to the Administrative Agent by telecopy
or electronic mail not later than 12:00 noon on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be in a form reasonably
approved by the Administrative Agent, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount
of the requested Swingline Loan, which shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Each Swingline Loan
shall be a Base Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Company
or any other U.S. Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Company or the applicable U.S. Borrower
by means of a credit to an account of the Company or such U.S. Borrower with the Administrative Agent designated for such purpose (or,
in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.18(e), by remittance
to the applicable Issuing Bank) by 2:00 p.m. on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
(c) The
Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent require the Lenders to acquire participations in all or a portion
of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate.
Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, promptly upon
receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent (and in any event, if such notice is received by 12:00 noon on a Business Day, no
later than 4:00 p.m. on such Business Day and if received after 12:00 noon on a Business Day, no later than 9:00 a.m. on the
immediately succeeding Business Day), to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligations to acquire participations in
Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph and to make payments in respect of such acquired participations are absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination
of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each
Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided
in Section 2.02(b) with respect to Committed Loans made by such Lender (and Sections 2.02(b) and 2.11(c) shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline
Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of any participations in any
Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative
Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Company or any other U.S. Borrower (or other
party on behalf of the Company or any U.S. Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds
of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative
Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph
and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the
Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Company
or any other U.S. Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve
the Company or any other U.S. Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
(d) The
Swingline Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Swingline
Lender and the successor Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Swingline
Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid interest accrued for the account of
the replaced Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(a). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the
successor Swingline Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect
to Swingline Loans made thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Swingline Lender” shall be deemed to refer
to such successor or to any previous Swingline Lender, or to such successor and all previous Swingline Lenders, as the context shall
require. After the replacement of the Swingline Lender hereunder, the replaced Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Swingline Lender under this Agreement with respect to Swingline Loans made by it
prior to its replacement, but shall not be required to make additional Swingline Loans. Notwithstanding Section 11.04, the
Company shall not be required to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the replaced Swingline Lender or the successor
Swingline Lender for any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation or execution of any amendments, modifications
or other documentation required to effectuate any replacement of the Swingline Lender under this Section 2.17, to the extent
such replacement is not requested or initiated by the Company.
(e) Subject
to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may resign as Swingline Lender at any time upon
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Company and the Lenders, in which case, the Swingline Lender
shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.17(d) above.
2.18 Letters
of Credit.
(a) General.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each U.S. Borrower may request any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit denominated
in Dollars as the applicant thereof for the support of its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to
such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period and such Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion,
agree to issue such requested Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Sublimit is available on a discretionary basis
(with such Issuing Bank having the ability to decline to issue a Letter of Credit).
(b) Notice
of Issuance, Amendment, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment or extension
of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the applicable U.S. Borrower shall hand deliver or transmit by electronic communication (if arrangements
for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably
in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension, but in any event no less than three (3) Business Days prior
to such date) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended,
and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit
is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address
of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. In addition,
as a condition to any such Letter of Credit issuance, the applicable U.S. Borrower shall have entered into a continuing agreement (or
other letter of credit agreement) for the issuance of letters of credit and/or shall submit a letter of credit application, in each case,
as required by the applicable Issuing Bank and as mutually agreed between such U.S. Borrower and such Issuing Bank (each, a “Letter
of Credit Agreement”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and
conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. A Letter of Credit may be issued,
amended or extended only if, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) the sum of (x) the aggregate
undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at such time plus (y) the aggregate amount of all
LC Disbursements made by such Issuing Bank that have not yet been reimbursed by or on behalf of each applicable U.S. Borrower at such
time shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Sublimit, (ii) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $200,000,000, (iii) no
Lender’s Credit Exposure shall exceed its Commitment, (iv) the sum of the Total Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate
Commitments and (v) there are no more than twenty (20) Letters of Credit outstanding. Any U.S. Borrower may, at any time and from
time to time, increase or reduce the Letter of Credit Sublimit of any Issuing Bank with the consent of such Issuing Bank; provided
that the U.S. Borrowers shall not increase or reduce the Letter of Credit Sublimit of any Issuing Bank if, after giving effect to
such increase or reduction, the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above shall not be satisfied.
An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation
to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit if:
(i) any
order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank
from issuing, amending or extending such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that
such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance, amendment or extension of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular
or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which
such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any
unreimburseable loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material
to it; or
(ii) the
issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters
of credit generally.
(c) Expiration
Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination by notice from the applicable Issuing Bank to the beneficiary
thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter
of Credit (or, in the case of any extension of the expiration date thereof, one year after such extension), provided that, subject
to the following clause (ii), any Letter of Credit may contain customary “evergreen” provisions pursuant to which the expiry
date is automatically extended for a specific time period and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity
Date.
(d) Participations.
By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action
on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires
from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount
available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely
and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share
of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the applicable U.S. Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of
this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the applicable U.S. Borrower for any reason, including after
the Maturity Date. Each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender acknowledges
and agrees that its obligations to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit and to make payments
in respect of such acquired participations are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including
any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the
Commitments.
(e) Reimbursement.
If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, the applicable U.S.
Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent in Dollars an amount equal to such LC Disbursement
not later than 12:00 noon on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the applicable U.S. Borrower shall have received notice of
such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m. on such date (if such date is a Business Day), or, if such notice has not been received
by the applicable U.S. Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day immediately following
the day that the applicable U.S. Borrower receives such notice; provided that the applicable U.S. Borrower may, subject to the
conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 or Section 2.17 that such payment
be financed with a Base Rate Committed Loan or a Swingline Loan in an amount equal to such LC Disbursement and, in each case, to the
extent so financed, the applicable U.S. Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting
Loan. If the applicable U.S. Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable
LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the applicable U.S. Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof.
Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of the payment then due
from the applicable U.S. Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(b) with respect to Committed Loans made by
such Lender (and Sections 2.02(b) and 2.11(c) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the
Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly
following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the applicable U.S. Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative
Agent shall distribute such payment to such Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph
to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender
pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of a Loan as contemplated above)
shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company or any other U.S. Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f) Obligations
Absolute. Each U.S. Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall
be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any
and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter
of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter
of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect,
(iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff
against, the Company’s or each other U.S. Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
or the Issuing Banks, nor any of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection
with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of
the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery
of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing
thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the
control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to excuse such Issuing
Bank from liability to the Company or the applicable U.S. Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company and each other U.S. Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Company or any other U.S. Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure
to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.
The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.
In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties hereto agree that, with respect to documents
presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit, the applicable
Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation,
or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter
of Credit.
(g) Disbursement
Procedures. The applicable Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by applicable Law or the specific
terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under
a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Company by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy or electronic mail) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement
thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company or any other U.S. Borrower
of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h) Interim
Interest. If an Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Company or the applicable
U.S. Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall
bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the reimbursement
is due and payable, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Committed Loans and such interest shall be due and payable on
the date when such reimbursement is payable; provided that, if the Company or the applicable U.S. Borrower fails to reimburse
such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.07(b) shall apply. Interest
accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date
of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement
shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i) Replacement
and Resignation of Issuing Bank.
(i) Any
Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank
and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the
time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing
Bank pursuant to Section 2.08(c). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank
shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued
by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or
to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement
of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations
of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement,
but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding
Section 11.04, the Company shall not be required to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the replaced
Issuing Bank or the successor Issuing Bank for any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation or execution
of any amendments, modifications or other documentation required to effectuate any replacement of such Issuing Bank under this Section 2.18,
to the extent such replacement is not requested or initiated by the Company.
(ii) Subject
to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Company and the Lenders, in which case, such resigning Issuing
Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.18(i)(i) above.
(j) Cash
Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that any U.S. Borrower receives notice
from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure
representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the U.S.
Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the
Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash in Dollars equal to 105% of the amount of the LC Exposure
as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall
become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind,
upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any U.S. Borrower described in Section 8.01(f) or (g).
The U.S. Borrowers also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.04.
Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations. In addition,
and without limiting the foregoing or paragraph (c) of this Section, if any LC Exposure in respect of any Letter of Credit
remains outstanding after the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the applicable U.S. Borrower shall immediately deposit into the
LC Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 105% of such LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
The Administrative Agent
shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such LC Account. Other than any interest
earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent
and at each U.S. Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments
shall accumulate in such LC Account. Moneys in such LC Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse any applicable
Issuing Bank (ratably in the case of more than one Issuing Bank) for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together
with related fees, costs and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the
reimbursement obligations of the U.S. Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated
(but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy
other Obligations. If any U.S. Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of
an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such U.S. Borrower within three (3) Business
Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.
(k) Letters
of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Letters of Credit may be issued or outstanding hereunder to support any obligations
of, or for the account of, a Subsidiary or any other U.S. Borrower, or state that a Subsidiary or any other U.S. Borrower is the “account
party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of
Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract,
at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary or other U.S. Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Company (i) shall
reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all
drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Company and (ii) irrevocably waives
any and all defenses (other than the defense of payment in full) that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of
any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary or other U.S. Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit. The Company hereby acknowledges
that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its Subsidiaries and other U.S. Borrowers inures to the benefit of the Company, and that
the Company’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries and other U.S. Borrowers.
(l) Issuing
Bank Agreements. Unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall report in writing to the Administrative
Agent (i) promptly following the end of each calendar month, the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding
at the end of such month, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank expects to issue, amend or extend any
Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letter of Credit to be issued,
amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (and whether the amount thereof
changed), it being understood that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any issuance, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in
the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then
permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit,
the date of such payment under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such payment, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Company
or applicable U.S. Borrower fails to reimburse any payment under any Letter of Credit required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank
on such Business Day, the date of such failure and the amount of such payment and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information
as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.
ARTICLE III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by the Borrowers to or for the account of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any Withholding
Agent shall be required by any Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) to deduct or withhold
any Taxes from or in respect of any such payment, (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary
so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no deductions or withholdings
in respect of Indemnified Taxes been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, (iii) the
applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance
with applicable Laws, and (iv) to the extent and at such time as reasonably practicable after the date of such payment, such Borrower
shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(b) Without
duplication of any amounts payable under Section 3.01(a) or Section 3.01(c), each Borrower agrees to pay to the
relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely
reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Without
duplication of any amounts payable under Section 3.01(a) or Section 3.01(b), each Borrower agrees to indemnify
the Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted
by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent and such Lender, and any reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with
a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Payment under this subsection (c) shall be made within 20 days after the date the Lender or the Administrative
Agent makes a written demand therefor.
(d) Each
Lender shall severally indemnify within 20 days after demand therefor, (i) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes
attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that no Loan Party has already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified
Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), (ii) the Administrative Agent and any Loan Party, as applicable,
against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.07(d) relating
to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) the Administrative Agent and any Loan Party, as applicable, against any Excluded
Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Loan Party in connection
with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or
the applicable Loan Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or the applicable
Loan Party to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by
the Administrative Agent or the applicable Loan Party to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative
Agent or the applicable Loan Party under this paragraph (d).
(e) (i) Any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall
deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, (i) prior to becoming a party hereto and (ii) at the time or times reasonably
requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the
Company or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.
In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed
by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable any Borrower or the Administrative
Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements and to allow the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with any information reporting requirements to which they are subject. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such
documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s
reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or
would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,
(A) any
Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent),
executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following
is applicable:
(1) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with
respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an
exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income”
article of such tax treaty;
(2) executed
copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of
the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or
a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Company as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S.
Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E; or
(4) to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS
Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification
documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct
or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other
form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed,
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if
a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were
to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of
the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law
and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable
Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested
by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations
under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount,
if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments
made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees
that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such
form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(iii) On
or prior to the Closing Date (or, in the case of a successor Administrative Agent, on or before the date on which it becomes the Administrative
Agent), (A) if the Administrative Agent is a U.S. Person, it shall provide the Company with a properly completed and duly executed
copy of IRS Form W-9 confirming that the Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding or (B) if the
Administrative Agent is not a U.S. Person, it shall provide the Issuer with, (i) with respect to payments made to the Administrative
Agent for its own account, a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8ECI, and (ii) with respect to payments made to
the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Lender, a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8 certifying it is entitled
to receive payments hereunder without deduction or withholding for any Taxes.
(f) If
any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to
the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.01
with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party
and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying
party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) (plus
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(f),
in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) the
payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been
in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the
indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to
require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential)
to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g) Each
party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment
of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all
obligations under any Loan Document.
3.02 Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any Law or Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that
it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or to make, maintain or fund
any Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or to determine or charge interest
rates based on the Relevant Rate for any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions
on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the applicable interbank
market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender
to make or continue Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans
or RFR Loans in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Loans to Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice
asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to
the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such
illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each
case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Company that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no
longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), convert all Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (or in the case of Committed Loans denominated
in Canadian Dollars, Canadian Prime Loans) (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such
illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Term SOFR component of the Base Rate) either
on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans
to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans and (ii) if
such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Term SOFR Reference Rate, the
Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to
the Adjusted Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal
for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon Adjusted Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers
shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.03 Inability
to Determine Rates.
(a) Subject
to clauses (b) (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 3.03, if:
(i) the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term
SOFR Rate, Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or the Adjusted CDOR Rate (including because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published
on a current basis), for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for the applicable Agreed Currency; or
(ii) the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark
Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or the Adjusted CDOR Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest
Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan)
included in such Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, the applicable Adjusted
Daily Simple RFR for the applicable Agreed Currency will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making
or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice
thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the
Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect
to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower or the Company on behalf of such Borrower delivers a new Committed Loan
Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, any Committed Loan Notice that requests
the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing, and any Committed Loan Notice that
requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice, as applicable, for (x) an RFR Borrowing
denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollar Borrowings is not also the subject of Section 3.03(a)(i) or
(ii) above or (y) a Base Rate Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollar Borrowings also is the subject of Section 3.03(a)(i) or
(ii) above and (B) for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, any Committed Loan Notice that requests the conversion
of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Committed Loan Notice that requests a Term
Benchmark Borrowing or an RFR Borrowing, in each case, for the relevant Benchmark shall be ineffective; provided that if the circumstances
giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted.
Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR
Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred
to in this Section 3.03(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the
Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, with respect
to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower or the Company on behalf of such Borrower delivers a new Committed Loan
Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02:
(A) for Loans denominated
in Dollars, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the
Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple
RFR for Dollar Borrowings is not also the subject of Section 3.03(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) a Base Rate Loan if
the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollar Borrowings also is the subject of Section 3.03(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day,
and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute a Base Rate Loan;
(B) for Loans denominated
in Canadian Dollars, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the
Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Canadian Prime Loan;
(C) for Loans denominated
in an Alternative Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), any Term Benchmark Loan (other than those denominated in Canadian Dollars)
shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative
Currency plus the CBR Spread;
provided,
that, in the case of the foregoing clauses (B) and (C), if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall
be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Canadian Prime Rate or Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency
cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency shall, at the
Company’s election prior to such day: (1) be prepaid by the Company on such day or (2) solely for the purpose of calculating
the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be deemed
to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans
denominated in Dollars at such time; and
(D) any RFR Loan denominated
in any Alternative Currency shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the CBR
Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated
in the applicable Alternative Currency, at the Company’s election, shall either (1) be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated
in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) immediately or (2) be prepaid in full immediately.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement
Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark
Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to
Dollars for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under
any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action
or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in
accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to any Agreed Currency for such
Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document
in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice
of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection
to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments
implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(d) The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the
implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the
removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of
any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable,
any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.03, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment
or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or
any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent
from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.03.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark
Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate, CDOR Rate or EURIBOR Rate) and either
(A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to
time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator
of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will
be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark
settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant
to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark
Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark
(including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all
Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(f) Upon
the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any request for
a Term Benchmark Borrowing or a RFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans or RFR Loans to be made, converted
or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the Company will be deemed to have converted
any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an RFR
Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollar Borrowings is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition
Event or (B) a Base Rate Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple RFR for Dollar Borrowings is the subject of a Benchmark Transition
Event, or (y) a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be ineffective. During any
Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, (I) in the
case of the Benchmark for Dollars, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark,
as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate and (II) in the case of the Benchmark for Canadian Dollars,
the component of the Canadian Prime Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will
not be used in any determination of the Canadian Prime Rate.
Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR
Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability
Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement
for such Agreed Currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 3.03:
(A) for Loans denominated
in Dollars, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan be converted by the
Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple
RFR for Dollar Borrowings is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) a Base Rate Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple
RFR for Dollar Borrowings is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such
day, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute a Base Rate Loan;
(B) for Loans denominated
in Canadian Dollars, any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the
Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, a Canadian Prime Borrowing;
(C) for Loans denominated
in any Alternative Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable to such Loan bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the CBR Spread;
provided
that, in the case of the foregoing clauses (B) and (C), if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall
be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Canadian Prime Rate or Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency
cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in the applicable Alternative Currency shall, at the
Company’s election prior to such day: (1) be prepaid by the Company on such day or (2) solely for the purpose of calculating
the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be deemed
to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans
denominated in Dollars at such time; and
(D) any RFR Loan denominated
in any Alternative Currency shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the CBR
Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated
in the applicable Alternative Currency, at the Company’s election, shall either (1) be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated
in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Alternative Currency) immediately or (2) be prepaid in full immediately.
3.04 Increased
Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;
(ii) subject
any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes, or Other Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, Letters of Credit,
commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) impose
on any Lender or any applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or
Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and
the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing
or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient
of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender
or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then from time to time upon written demand
of such Lender or other Recipient (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Company shall pay (or cause the applicable
Designated Borrower to pay) within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender or other Recipient to such Lender or other Recipient
such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient for such increased cost or reduction; provided, (x) such
Lender or other Recipient shall be generally seeking comparable compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities
(to the extent such Lender or other Recipient has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) with respect to such Change
in Law regarding such increased cost or reduction and (y) that such additional amounts shall not be duplicative of any amounts to
the extent otherwise paid by the Company under any other provision of this Agreement.
(b) If
any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s
capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such
Lender or the Loans made by or participations in Letters of Credit held by such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Lender
in its capacity as an Issuing Bank, 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 and liquidity), then from time to time, upon written demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand
to the Administrative Agent) the Company will pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) to such Lender within fifteen
(15) days after demand by such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company for any such reduction suffered, provided, that (x) such Lender shall be generally seeking comparable compensation
from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Lender has the right under such similar credit
facilities to do so) with respect to such Change in Law regarding such increased cost or reduction and (y) such additional amounts
shall not be duplicative of any amounts to the extent otherwise paid by the Borrowers under any other provision of this Agreement.
(c) [reserved].
(d) Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04 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 3.04 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 120 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 cost or reduction is
retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
3.05 Compensation
for Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Company shall promptly
compensate (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to compensate) such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost
or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a) any
continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest
Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b) any
failure by any Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any
Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Company or the applicable Designated Borrower; or
(c) any
assignment of a Term Benchmark Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the
Company pursuant to Section 11.15;
excluding any loss of anticipated profits, but
including any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to
maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign
exchange contract.
The amount payable by the Company (or the applicable
Designated Borrower) to the Lenders under this Section 3.05 shall be determined in the applicable Lender’s reasonable
discretion based upon the assumption that such Lender funded each Loan made by it at the Relevant Rate for such Loan used in determining
the rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount
and for a comparable period, whether or not such Loan was in fact so funded.
3.06 Matters
Applicable to all Requests for Compensation. (a) A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming compensation
under this Article III and setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error; provided that the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall not be required to disclose
(a) confidential or price sensitive information or (b) any other information, to the extent prohibited by Law. In determining
such amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
(b) Each
Lender may make any Loan to any Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect
the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.04, or any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02,
then such Lender shall, as applicable, use its reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its
Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such designation
or assignment would reasonably be expected to (i) eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04,
as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in
each case, not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby
agrees to pay (or cause the applicable Designated Borrower to pay) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection
with any such designation or assignment.
(c) Upon
any Lender’s making a claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or 3.04 and, in each case, such Lender declining
or being unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.06(b), or if any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, the Company may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.15.
3.07 Survival.
All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments
and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Loans) submitted by the Company, each Borrowing of Swingline Loans and each issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit, in

the Commitments of each Lender to make Loans to be terminated, whereupon such Commitments and obligation shall be terminated;
(b) declare
the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts owing or payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand or protest of any kind, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers;
(c) exercise
on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or applicable Law;
and
(d) require
cash collateral for the LC Exposure as required in Section 2.18(j);
provided,
however, that upon the occurrence of any event specified in subsection (f) or (g) of Section 8.01,
the obligation of each Lender to make Loans shall automatically terminate, and the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans,
together with all interest and other amounts as aforesaid, shall automatically become due and payable and the obligation of the Company
to cash collateralize the LC Exposure as provided in clause (d) above shall automatically become effective, in each case,
without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
8.03 Application
of Funds.
(a) After
the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable
as set forth in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received by the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations
shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.16, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:
First,
to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including reasonable and documented
out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative
Agent in its capacity as such;
Second,
to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal, reimbursement
obligations in respect of LC Disbursements, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit fees and utilization fees) payable to the Lenders
(including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and amounts payable under Article III),
ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;
Third,
to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid facility fees and Letter of Credit fees, and interest and
charges on the Committed Loans, Swingline Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective
amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;
Fourth,
(A) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Committed Loans and Swingline Loans and unreimbursed
LC Disbursements and (B) to cash collateralize that portion of LC Exposure comprising the undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to
the extent not otherwise cash collateralized by the Company pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.18, ratably
among the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them;
provided that (x) any such amounts applied pursuant to subclause (B) above shall be paid to the Administrative
Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Issuing Bank to cash collateralize Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit (in amounts
contemplated by Section 2.18(j)), (y) subject to Section 2.18 or Section 11.18, amounts used
to cash collateralize the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to this clause Fourth shall be used to satisfy drawings
under such Letters of Credit as they occur and (z) upon the expiration of any Letter of Credit (without any pending drawings), the
pro rata share of cash collateral shall be distributed to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth in this Section 8.03;
and
Last,
the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent indemnification or expense reimbursement
obligations for which no claim has been made), to the Company or as otherwise required by Law.
If any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral
after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired (without any pending drawings), such remaining amount shall be applied
to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.
(b) For
purposes of calculating the portion of any such amount received by the Administrative Agent in any currency to be applied as provided
in Section 8.03(a), the Administrative Agent may designate the date of such receipt as a Revaluation Date for purposes of
determining the Dollar Equivalent or Alternative Currency Equivalent of the currency in which such amount is denominated and the rate
of exchange of any currencies in which any applicable Obligations are denominated. The Administrative Agent shall so apply any such amount
by making payments denominated in the same currency as the amount so received by the Administrative Agent is denominated.
(c) The
obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other
Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any such application in a currency (the “Application Currency”) other than that
in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”),
be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following the date of any such application by the Administrative Agent of any
such amount in the Application Currency, the Administrative Agent, may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase the Agreement
Currency with the Application Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the Obligations originally
due to the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower acknowledges that
the applicable Obligations shall remain outstanding to the extent of such difference. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased
is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any applicable Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent
or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled
thereto under applicable Law).
ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
9.01 Appointment;
Nature of Relationship. JPMorgan is hereby appointed by each of the Lenders as its contractual representative (herein referred to
as the “Administrative Agent”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes
the Administrative Agent to act as the contractual representative of such Lender with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein
and in the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions
contained in this Article IX. Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly
understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document and that the Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of the Lenders with only
those duties as are expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lenders’ contractual
representative, the Administrative Agent (i) does not hereby assume any fiduciary duties to any of the Lenders, and (ii) is
acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby agrees to assert no claim against the Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any
other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby waives.
9.02 Powers.
The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative
Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have
no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided
by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Administrative Agent.
9.03 General
Immunity. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to the Loan Parties,
the Lenders or any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in
connection herewith or therewith except to the extent such action or inaction is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court
of competent jurisdiction to have arisen from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or the material breach in bad
faith by such Person of its express obligations under the applicable Loan Document.
9.04 No
Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made
in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements
of any obligor under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to
each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV, except receipt of items required to be delivered
solely to the Administrative Agent; (d) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default; (e) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection
therewith; or (f) the financial condition of the Loan Parties or any guarantor of any of the Obligations or of any of the Loan Parties’
or any such guarantor’s respective Subsidiaries.
9.05 Action
on Instructions of Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
hereunder and under any other Loan Document in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions
and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. 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 or any other Loan Document unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. The Administrative
Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document unless it shall
first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent may, at any time, request instructions from the Required
Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative
Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant without consent or approval from the Required Lenders, and if such instructions are
promptly requested, the Administrative Agent will be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval
under any of the Loan Documents and will not have any liability for refraining from taking any action or withholding any approval under
any of the Loan Documents until it has received such instructions from the Required Lenders.
9.06 Employment
of Administrative Agents and Counsel. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and
under any other Loan Document by or through employees, agents, and attorneys-in-fact. The Administrative Agent will not be responsible
for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines
in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection
of agents or attorneys-in-fact.
9.07 Reliance
on Documents; Counsel. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
telegram, facsimile, telex, electronic mail message, statement, paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and, in respect to legal matters, upon the opinion of counsel selected by the Administrative
Agent, which counsel may be employees of the Administrative Agent. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions for the
making of any Committed Loan or Swingline Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit or other conditions specified in Sections 4.01
and 4.02, each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender (in the case of the making of any Swingline Loan) and each Issuing
Bank (in the case of the issuance of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank)) that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed
to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented
to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender
prior to the applicable date specifying its objection thereto.
9.08 Administrative
Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Issuing
Bank and the Swingline Lender and each of their respective Related Parties (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) ratably in
proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares (determined without excluding the Defaulting Lenders) (i) for any amounts not reimbursed
by the Loan Parties for which such Agent Indemnitee is entitled to reimbursement by the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, (ii) solely
in the case of the Administrative Agent, for any other expenses incurred by such Agent Indemnitee on behalf of the Lenders, in connection
with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for any
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any dispute between the Administrative Agent and any Lender Party or
between two (2) or more of the Lender Parties) and (iii) for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection
therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby or its capacity as such (including, without limitation, for any such amounts incurred
by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in connection with any dispute between such Agent Indemnitee and any other Lender Party
or between two or more of the Lender Parties), or the enforcement of any of the terms of the Loan Documents or of any such other documents,
provided that (i) no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent any of the foregoing is found in a final
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
applicable Agent Indemnitee and (ii) any indemnification required pursuant to Section 3.01(d) shall, notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 9.08, be paid by the relevant Lender in accordance with the provisions thereof. The obligations
of the Lenders under this Section 9.08 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
9.09 Notice
of Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or
Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Loan Party 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 receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders; provided
that, except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall
not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated
to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
9.10 Rights
as a Lender. In the event the Administrative Agent is a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder
and under any other Loan Document with respect to its Commitment and its Loans as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were
not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, at any time when the Administrative Agent
is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction,
in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries in
which such Loan Party or such Subsidiary is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.
9.11 Lender
Credit Decision, Legal Representation. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender and based on the financial statements prepared by the Company and such other documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each
Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any other Lender
and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking
or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except for any notice, report, document or other information
expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or Arranger hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent
nor the Arranger shall have any duty or responsibility (either initially or on a continuing basis) to provide any Lender with any notice,
report, document, credit information or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Loan Parties
or any of their Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or Arranger (whether or not in their respective
capacity as Administrative Agent or Arranger) or any of their Affiliates. Each Lender further acknowledges that it has had the opportunity
to be represented by legal counsel in connection with its execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that it has made
its own evaluation of all applicable laws and regulations relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and that the counsel to the
Administrative Agent represents only the Administrative Agent and not the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby.
9.12 Successor
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company,
such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or, if no successor Administrative Agent has
been appointed, thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intention to resign. Upon any such resignation,
the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint (upon consultation with the Company as long as no Event of Default exists), on behalf
of the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders
within fifteen (15) days after the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving notice of its intention to resign, then the resigning
Administrative Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the previous sentence,
the Administrative Agent may at any time without the consent of the Borrowers or any Lender, appoint any of its Affiliates which is a
commercial bank as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has resigned and no successor Administrative
Agent has been appointed, the Lenders may perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Loan Parties shall make
all payments in respect of the Obligations to the applicable Lender and for all other purposes shall deal directly with the Lenders.
No successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be appointed hereunder until such successor Administrative Agent has accepted the
appointment. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor
Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning
Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the resigning Administrative Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents. After the effectiveness of the resignation of an
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Administrative Agent
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents. In the event that there is a successor to the Administrative Agent by merger, or the Administrative Agent assigns
its duties and obligations to an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 9.12, then the term “Prime Rate” as used
in this Agreement shall mean the prime rate, base rate or other analogous rate of the new Administrative Agent.
9.13 Delegation
to Affiliates. The Loan Parties and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement
to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties
in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions
to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles IX and XI.
9.14 Co-Documentation
Agent, Co-Syndication Agents, etc. Neither any of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as a “co-agent” nor any
Co-Documentation Agent or Co-Syndication Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this
Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed
to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it
makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in Section 9.11.
9.15 No
Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection
with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that:
(i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, any Arranger and any
book runner and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, on the one
hand, and the Administrative Agent, any Arranger and any book runner and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Loan Parties have
consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate, and (C) the Loan
Parties are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby
and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger and any book runner and the Lenders
is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not,
and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither
the Administrative Agent, any Arranger and any book runner nor any Lender has any obligation to the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents;
and (iii) the Administrative Agent, any Arranger and any book runner and each of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may
be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, and
neither the Administrative Agent, any Arranger and any book runner nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests
to the Loan Parties or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Loan Parties hereby waive and release any claims

or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby
9.16 Erroneous
Payments. Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent
has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates
(whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”)
were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion
thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative
Agent, in its sole discretion, may specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion
thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing
by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such
Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and
(y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent,
any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative
Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or
any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 9.16 shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.
(a) Each
Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that
is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or
any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied
by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender
agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender
shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly,
but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may specify
in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made
in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of
each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid
to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
(b) Each
Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered
from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all
the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise
satisfy any Obligations owed by such Borrower or any other Loan Party.
(c) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 9.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any
transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
ARTICLE X
COMPANY GUARANTY
In order to induce the Lenders
to extend credit to the Designated Borrowers hereunder, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the payment when
and as due of the Obligations of each Designated Borrower. The Company further agrees that the due and punctual payment of such Obligations
may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its
guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any such Obligation.
The Company waives presentment
to, demand of payment from and protest to any Designated Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of
its obligations and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the
failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Designated
Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (c) any
rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, or any other agreement;
(d) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations; or (e) any other act,
omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Company or otherwise operate
as a discharge of a guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of the Company to subrogation.
The Company further agrees
that its agreement hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have
stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives
any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit
on the books of the Administrative Agent or such Lender in favor of any Designated Borrower or any other Person.
The obligations of the Company
hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any
defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of
any of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise (including without limitation any
defenses that may exist under the provisions of the Illinois Sureties Act or any similar statutes (all of which defenses are hereby waived)).
The Company agrees that it is not a surety for purposes of the Illinois Sureties Act or any similar statutes. The Company waives any
right that it may have under the Illinois Sureties Act or any similar statutes to assert the applicability thereof to the provisions
of this Agreement to require that Administrative Agent commence action against any Borrower or any other Person or against any of the
collateral (if any).
The Company further agrees
that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part
thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Designated Borrower or otherwise.
In furtherance of the foregoing
and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have at law or in equity against the Company
by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Designated Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Company hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written
demand by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in cash
an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligation then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
Upon payment by the Company
of any sums as provided above, all rights of the Company against any Designated Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right
of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in
full of all the Obligations owed by such Designated Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
Nothing shall discharge or
satisfy the liability of the Company hereunder except the full and indefeasible performance and payment of the Obligations.

and, provided further, that (i) no
amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above,
affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) no such agreement
shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior
written consent of the such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to Section 2.15
shall require the consent of the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender); (iii) no such agreement shall amend or modify the provisions
of Section 2.18 or any letter of credit application and any bilateral agreement between any U.S. Borrower and any Issuing Bank regarding

Bank in connection with the issuance of Letters of Credit without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and such Issuing
Bank, respectively; and (iv) the Fee Letters may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only
by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove
any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders
or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the
Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender, (y) Section 8.03 may
not be changed in any manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the consent of such Lender and
(z) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting

anything to the contrary herein, the Administrative Agent may, with the prior written consent of the Company only, amend, modify or supplement
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency of a technical or
immaterial nature, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent.
11.02 Notices
and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies.
(a) General.
Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including
by facsimile or electronic mail transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed, e-mailed or otherwise delivered to the
applicable address, facsimile number or (subject to subsection (c) below) electronic mail address, and all notices and other
communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:
(i) if
to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or JPMorgan in its capacity as an Issuing Bank, to the address, facsimile
number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 11.02 or to such other address,
facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties;
and
(ii) if
to any other Lender or Issuing Bank, to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified in its Administrative
Questionnaire or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such
party in a notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent.
All such notices and other communications shall
be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of (A) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (B) (1) if
delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (2) if delivered by mail, four (4) Business
Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (3) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone;
and (4) if delivered by electronic mail (which form of delivery is subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below),
when delivered as provided in subsection (b) below.
(b) Electronic
Communications; Posting of Communications.
(i) the
Company agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders by
posting the Communications on IntraLinks™, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic system chosen by the Administrative
Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).
(ii) Although
the Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified
by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including a user ID/password authorization system) and the Platform is secured through
a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of
the Borrowers and the Company acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily
secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that
are added to the Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders,
each of the Borrowers and the Company hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Platform and understands and assumes
the risks of such distribution.
(iii) Each
Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Platform shall
constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (x) to
notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s
email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (y) that the foregoing notice may be sent
to such email address.
(iv) Each
of the Lenders, each of the Borrowers and the Company agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable
law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally
applicable document retention procedures and policies.
(v) Nothing
herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any
Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
(vi) Notices
and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by Platforms, as applicable, or pursuant to procedures
approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II
if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic
communication. The Administrative Agent and the Company may each, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications
to it hereunder by Platforms, as applicable, pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures
may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (x) notices and other
communications sent to an email address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended
recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return email or other written acknowledgement)
and (y) notices and other communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received by the intended recipient
upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested”
function, as available, return email address or other written acknowledgement) indicating that such notice or communication is available
and identifying the website address therefor; provided that for both clauses (x) and (y), if such notice or other communication
is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice, email or communication shall be deemed to have been sent
at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.
(c) The
Platform. THE PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT PARTIES
(AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED
OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS
OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM.
In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have
any liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether
in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials
through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party;
provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any Borrower, any Lender or any other Person
for indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).
(d) Change
of Address, Etc. Each of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices
and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone
number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender
agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective
address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may
be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual
at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation
on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public
Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference
to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that
may contain material non-public information with respect to the Company or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state
securities laws.
(e) Reliance
by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices
(including Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a
manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the
terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Company shall indemnify each Agent Party and
each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given
by or on behalf of any Borrower.
11.03 No
Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in
exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under
each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in
connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02
for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative
Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent)
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, or (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.09
(subject to the terms of Section 2.12); and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting
as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise
ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clause
(b) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.12, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders,
enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.
11.04 Costs
and Expenses. The Company agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, distribution (including, without
limitation, via the Platform) and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other
modification of the provisions hereof and thereof, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses and disbursements of one primary counsel for the Administrative
Agent and one local counsel for each relevant jurisdiction, (b) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank
in connection with the issuance, amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (c) to
pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred
in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Obligations
and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, title insurance
and appraisal charges and fees and recording, documentary and similar taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Administrative Agent and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 11.04 shall be paid promptly and, in any case under clause (c) of
this Section 11.04, within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section shall survive
the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations.
11.05 Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Arranger and each of their
respective Related Parties (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and
disbursements of counsel) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such
Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any Commitment or Loan or Letter
of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment
under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter
of Credit), or (c) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether
based on contract, tort or any other theory, including, without limitation, Environmental Laws; provided that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (B) a material
breach by such Indemnitee of its express obligations under the applicable Loan Document or (ii) result from claims of any Indemnitee
solely against one or more other Indemnitees (other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity as the Administrative Agent,
a Co-Syndication Agent, a Co-Documentation Agent, an Arranger, an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender) that have not resulted from the
action, inaction, participation or contribution of the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, stockholders,
partners, members, employees, agents, representatives or advisors.
No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages
arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through the Platform or other similar information transmission
systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any party hereto have any liability to any other party hereto or its Affiliates,
and each party hereto hereby waives any claim, for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or
actual damages) relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of such party’s activities in connection herewith
or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); provided, that this sentence shall not relieve the Company from any obligation
it may have pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 11.05 to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential
or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party that is not party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
All amounts due under this Section 11.05 shall be payable within fifteen (15) days after written demand therefor. The agreements
in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. This Section shall not apply with
respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
11.06 Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the
Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof
is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered
into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection
with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof
originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such
set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share
of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the
date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, in the applicable currency
of such recovery or payment.

and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit),

it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in
any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose
includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of
the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment
is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade
Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(ii) Proportionate
Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;
(iii) Required
Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this
Section and, in addition:
(A) the
consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that the Company shall
be deemed to have consented to any such assignment if it shall not have objected thereto in writing within five (5) Business Days
after receiving notice thereof from the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that it shall not be unreasonable for
the Company to refuse consent to any Person that is not engaged in the making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar
extensions of credit in the ordinary course of business) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
(B) the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is
to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
(C) the
consent of the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to
a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that no consent of the Swingline Lender shall be
required if (x) an Event of Default has occurred with respect to any Borrower under Section 8.01(f) or (g) and (y) the
Swingline Lender has no outstanding Swingline Loans at that time; and
(D) the
consent of JPMorgan as an Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment
is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that no consent of such Issuing Bank shall
be required if (x) an Event of Default has occurred with respect to any Borrower under Section 8.01(f) or (g) and
(y) such Issuing Bank has no outstanding Letters of Credit at that time.
(iv) Assignment
and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may,
in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not
a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. Each party hereto agrees that (x) an assignment
made pursuant to Section 11.15 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Company, the Administrative
Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to
a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (y) the Lender required to make such assignment
need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the
terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute
and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any
such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.
(v) No
Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates
or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural Person (or holding company,
investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).
(vi) Certain
Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment
shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall
make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate
(which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including
funding, with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but
not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to pay and satisfy
in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest
accrued thereon). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of
such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be (A) entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04,
3.05, and 11.03 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment and (B) subject to obligations in Section 3.01(e) and (f); provided, that (x) except
to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release
of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender and (y) if either the assigning
Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.17(c), 2.18(d) or
(e), 2.11(c) or 9.08, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the
information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon.
Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall
be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
subsection (d) of this Section. An Eligible Assignee of a Lender shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Sections 3.01 or 3.04 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive as of the date such Eligible Assignee became
a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to any Eligible Assignee designated
by the Company pursuant to Section 11.15; and provided, further, that this limitation shall also not apply
with respect to Loans to Borrowers not a party to this Agreement as of the date such Eligible Assignee became a party to this Agreement.
(c) Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes),
shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for
the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the
Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding
the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection
by each of the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline
Lender, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned
and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or any Defaulting Lender’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries,
or the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans
owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers,
the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.08
without regard to the existence of any participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose
as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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 Obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant
Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments,
loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to
establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender
shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this
Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative
Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument
may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described
in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section,
each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject
to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.01(e) (it being understood that
the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent
as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided
that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 11.15 as if it were
an assignee under subsection (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Sections 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to
receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment
results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or the sale of the participation
to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject
to Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender.
(e) Limitations
upon Participant Rights. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of
Section 3.01 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for
the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.
(f) Certain
Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee
or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g) Designated
Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Lender may grant to an Affiliate of such Lender identified
as such in writing from time to time by the Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Company (a “Designated Affiliate”)
the option to provide all or any part of any Committed Loan that such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to a Designated Borrower
not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that
if a Designated Affiliate elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Committed Loan, the Lender
shall be obligated to make such Committed Loan pursuant to the terms hereof or, if it fails to do so, to make such payment to the Administrative
Agent as is required under Section 2.11(c)(ii). Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any Designated
Affiliate nor the exercise by any Designated Affiliate of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change
the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement (including their obligations under Sections 3.01 and 3.04), (ii) no
Designated Affiliate shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be
liable, and (iii) the Lender shall for all purposes (other than the funding of Committed Loans to such Designated Borrower), including
the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder.
The making of a Committed Loan by a Designated Affiliate hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Lender to the same extent, and
as if, such Committed Loan were made by such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Designated Affiliate
may with notice to, but without prior consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of
$3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Committed Loan to the Lender.
11.08 Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except
that (a) the Administrative Agent may disclose, after the Company has filed its next periodic report with the SEC following the
Closing Date, information relating to this Agreement to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information
to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications, and (b) Information may be disclosed (i) to
each of the Administrative Agent’s and each of the Lenders’ respective Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons
to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (ii) as may be compelled in a judicial or administrative proceeding or as otherwise requested by any Governmental
Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over it or its Related Parties, including any self-regulatory authority (in which case
such Person shall, except with respect to any non-scheduled or for cause audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental
bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, (x) promptly notify the Company in advance of such disclosure,
to the extent not prohibited by law, and (y) so furnish only that portion of such Information which the applicable Person is legally
required to disclose), (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process
(in which case, the Administrative Agent or any such Lender, as applicable, shall (x) promptly notify the Company in advance of
such disclosure, to the extent not prohibited by law, and (y) so furnish only that portion of such Information which the applicable
Person is legally required to disclose), (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement
of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.08,
to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative or similar transaction relating
to a Borrower and its obligations, provided in the case of each of clause (A) and (B) such parties have been notified of the
confidential nature of such Information and have acknowledged their obligation to keep such Information confidential in accordance with
this Section 11.08, (vii) with the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld), on a confidential
basis to (A) any rating agency when required by it and (B) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization or (viii) to
the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.08
or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis
from a source other than the Company; provided, however, that the source of such Information was not known by the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate, as the case may be, to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or other legal or contractual obligation
of confidentiality with respect to such Information.
For purposes of this Section 11.08,
“Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or any of its businesses,
other than any such information that is publicly available or otherwise available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case
may be, on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party; provided, however, that the source of such information
was not known by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or other legal
or contractual obligation of confidentiality with respect to such information. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised
the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information
concerning the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including
Federal and state securities Laws. Each Person who receives Information pursuant to this Agreement shall use such Information solely
for the purpose of fulfilling such Person’s obligations or exercising such Person’s rights under this Agreement.
All Information as defined
in this Section 11.08, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Company, any Borrower, any of their
respective Subsidiaries or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level
information, which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries or their respective
securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Company, each other Borrower, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent that
it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material non-public
information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable Law.
Without limiting Section 11.12,
the Borrowers agree that the terms of this Section 11.08 shall set forth the entire agreement between the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent and each Lender with respect to any confidential information previously or hereafter received by the Administrative
Agent or such Lender in connection with this Agreement, and this Section 11.08 shall supersede any and all prior confidentiality
agreements entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to such confidential information.
11.09 Set-off.
In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Company or any other Loan Party,
any such notice being waived by the Company (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) 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, in whatever currency) at any time
held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against
any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the extent such Obligations are due and payable
to such Lender; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts
so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.15
and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a
statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.09 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights
of set-off) that such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such
set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
set-off and application.
11.10 Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid
under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess
interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, promptly refunded to the Company. In
determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate,
such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee,
or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate,
and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
11.11 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute
an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Except as provided in Section 4.01,
this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery
of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or electronic (.pdf) transmission shall be effective
as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby
(i) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies,
bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties, electronic images of this Agreement
or any other Loan Documents (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect,
validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability
of the Loan Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature
pages thereto.
11.12 Integration.
This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject
matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict
between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. Each Loan
Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor
of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
11.13 Survival
of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document
delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof
and the making of the Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit contemplated herein and shall continue in full force and effect as
long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding
and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated and so long as any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding
(unless cash collateralized pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, including
in amounts contemplated by Section 2.18(j)).
11.14 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity
and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions
in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative
Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
11.15 Replacement
of Lenders. If the Company is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, or if any Lender
is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Company the right to replace
a Lender as a party hereto, then the Company may, at its sole expense, and with the efforts of the Company and the Administrative Agent,
upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance
with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.07), all of its interests, rights
(other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement
and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a
Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a) the
Company shall have paid (or caused a Designated Borrower to pay) to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in
Section 11.07(b);
(b) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements
and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest
and fees) or the Company or applicable Designated Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(c) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(d) such
assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and
(e) in
the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the
applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
A Lender shall not be required
to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling
the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
11.16 Governing
Law.
(a) THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CONFLICTS
OR CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF) OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH
STATE, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.
(b) ANY
LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS
SITTING IN COOK COUNTY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT,
EACH BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION
OF THOSE COURTS. EACH BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION
TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING
OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO. EACH BORROWER, THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, THAT MAY BE MADE BY ANY
OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE.
11.17 Waiver
of Right to Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND,
ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE
PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING
OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM,
DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE
AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO
TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
11.18 Judgment
Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary for any Lender Party to convert a sum due hereunder
or under any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance
with normal banking procedures such Lender Party could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding
that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to such Lender Party hereunder
or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other
than the Agreement Currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender Party of any
sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such Lender Party may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement
Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such
Lender Party from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such
judgment, to indemnify such Lender Party against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than (a) the
sum originally due to such Lender Party in such currency and (b) any amounts shared with other Lender Parties as a result of allocations
of such excess as a disproportionate payment to such Lender Party under Section 2.12, such Lender Party agrees to return
the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).
11.19 No

to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i) such Lender

with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments,
(ii) the transaction

performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,
(iii) (A) such
Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE

in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation

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

(b) In
addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has
provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such
Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants,
from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of,
the Administrative Agent, and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit
of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, or any Arranger, any Co-Syndication Agent, any Co-Documentation
Agent or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the
reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to

11.24 Acknowledgment
Regarding Any Supported QFCs11.25 . To the extent that the
Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC
(such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge
and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder,
the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions
below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the
State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity
that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special
Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in
or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support)
from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution
Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the
laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes
subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply
to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no
greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the
Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it
is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights
of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
11.25
Termination of Existing Credit Agreement. The Company and each “Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement
which is a Lender hereunder (such Lenders constituting the “Required Lenders” under the Existing Credit Agreement) agree
that concurrently with the effectiveness of this Agreement, (i) the “Commitments” under the Existing Credit Agreement
shall automatically and irrevocably reduce to zero and (ii) the Existing Credit Agreement and all “Loan Documents” (as
defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall terminate without any notice or other action of any kind and notwithstanding any notice
or other requirement contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, all of which notices and other actions are hereby waived; provided that
(a) the Company shall have paid all amounts then payable under the Existing Credit Agreement as provided in Section 4.01 and
(b) any provision of the Existing Credit Agreement that by its terms survives termination thereof shall continue in full force and
effect.
