Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreements.
PNC Term Loan Amendment
On September 28, 2026 (the “Closing
Date”), NETSTREIT, L.P. (the “Borrower”) and NETSTREIT Corp. (the “Company”) entered into that certain First
Amendment to Term Loan Agreement and Incremental Agreement (the “PNC Term Loan Amendment”), by and among the Borrower, the
Company, the several institutions party thereto, as lenders, and PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), as Administrative
Agent. The PNC Term Loan Amendment amends the terms of that certain Term Loan Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2025 (as amended
by the PNC Term Loan Amendment, the “PNC Term Loan Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Company, the financial institutions
party thereto, as lenders, and PNC, as Administrative Agent.
The PNC Term Loan Amendment provides for (i) a
$100.0 million increase (the “Incremental 2031 Term Loan”) under the Company’s existing senior unsecured, 5.5-year term
loan facility (the “2031 Term Loan”), increasing the aggregate size of the 2031 Term Loan to $300 million, (ii) a $50.0
million increase (the “Incremental 2032 Term Loan” and, together with the Incremental 2031 Term Loan, the “Incremental
Term Loans”) under the Company’s existing senior unsecured, 7-year term loan facility (the “2032 Term Loan”),
increasing the aggregate size of the 2032 Term Loan to $300 million, and (iii) a new $400.0 million senior unsecured, 7-year delayed
draw term loan facility (the “2033 Term Loan”), which may be drawn until September 28, 2027. The 2033 Term Loan matures
on September 28, 2033 and is repayable at the Borrower’s option in whole or in part, subject to a prepayment premium equal
to (i) 2.0% of any amount repaid during the first year following the Closing Date and (ii) 1.0% of any amount repaid during
the second year following the Closing Date. Undrawn amounts under the 2033 Term Loan will accrue a ticking fee of 0.20% per annum, commencing
on the date which is 91 days following the Closing Date and ending on September 28, 2027.
The Incremental Term Loans were fully funded on
the Closing Date, and the 2033 Term Loan was undrawn as of the Closing Date. The Borrower used borrowings under the Incremental Term Loans
and the remaining $50.0 million draw under the 2032 Term Loan to repay in full the Borrower’s $200.0 million term loan that was
scheduled to mature in February 2028.
In addition to certain other amendments, the PNC
Term Loan Amendment reduced the applicable margin spread under the 2031 Term Loan by five basis points. From and after the Closing Date,
interest rates under the PNC Term Loan Agreement are determined by (A) in the case of the 2031 Term Loan, either (i) SOFR, plus
a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.55%, or (ii) a Base Rate, plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.55%, and (B) in the case of
the 2032 Term Loan and the 2033 Term Loan, either (i) SOFR, plus a margin ranging from 1.15% to 2.20%, or (ii) a Base Rate,
plus a margin ranging from 0.15% to 1.20%, in each case based on the Company’s credit rating and consolidated total leverage ratio.
Pursuant to the PNC Term Loan Amendment, the Company
and certain material subsidiaries of the Borrower reaffirmed their guarantee of the obligations under the PNC Term Loan Agreement and
certain hedging and cash management obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries thereunder.
Other Credit Agreement Amendments
On the Closing Date, the Borrower and the Company
also entered into amendments (collectively, the “Parallel Amendments”) to: (i) that certain Second Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement, dated as of January 15, 2025 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2025, the “Wells Fargo Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Company,
the several institutions party thereto, as lenders, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, (ii) that
certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 15, 2025 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2025, the “PNC Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower,
the Company, the several institutions party thereto, as lenders, and PNC, as Administrative Agent; and (iii) that certain Term Loan
Agreement, dated as of July 3, 2023 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Term Loan Agreement, dated as of January 15,
2025, that certain Second Amendment to Term Loan Agreement, dated as of September 25, 2025, and that certain Third Amendment to Term
Loan Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2026, the “Truist Term Loan Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Company,
the several institutions party thereto, as lenders, and Truist Bank, as Administrative Agent. The Parallel Amendments implemented certain
conforming changes to each of the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, the PNC Credit Agreement and the Truist Term Loan Agreement (collectively,
the “Existing Credit Agreements”), including reducing the applicable margin spread under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement
and the PNC Credit Agreement.
Pursuant to each Parallel Amendment, the Company
and certain material subsidiaries of the Borrower reaffirmed their guarantee of the obligations under each of the Existing Credit Agreements
and certain hedging and cash management obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries thereunder.

(d) DuringFor
purposes of determining the applicable Level in each of the paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above, during any period that
the Parent or Borrower has received Credit Ratings from each of S&P, Fitch and Moody’s that are not equivalent and the difference
between the highest and lowest of such Credit Ratings is (i) one Level, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the
highest of such Credit Ratings or (ii) two or more Levels, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the average of
the two highest Credit Ratings (unless the average is not a recognized Level, in which case the Applicable Margin shall be determined
based on the second highest Credit Rating). During any period that the Parent or Borrower has received only two Credit Ratings from any
of S&P, Fitch and Moody’s that are not equivalent and the difference between such Credit Ratings is (x) one Level, then
the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the higher of such Credit Ratings or (y) two or more Levels, then the Applicable
Margin shall be determined based on the Level that would be applicable if the rating was one higher than the lower of the two applicable
Credit Ratings received. During any period that the Parent or Borrower has only received one Credit Rating, then the Applicable Margin
shall be based upon such Credit Rating. During any period after the Investment Grade Rating Date that the Parent or Borrower has not received
a Credit Rating from any Rating Agency, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on Level 5 in the tabletables
above.

notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Tranche C Term

Ratio as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter of Borrower was less than or equal to 0.35 to 1.00) and (ii) either
(x) the Parent or the Borrower (as applicable) has a Credit Rating of either BBB- by S&P or Fitch or Baa3 by Moody’s or
(y) the Parent or the Borrower (as applicable) has a Credit Rating of either BBB by S&P or Fitch or Baa2 by Moody’s, then,
if clause (ii)(x) above is applicable, the Level shall be set at Level 3 in the applicable
table immediately above and, if clause (ii)(y) above is applicable, the Level shall
be set at Level 2 in the applicable table immediately
above. Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin with respect to Loans resulting from a change in the Total Leverage
Ratio in accordance with the foregoing sentence shall become effective as of the first Business Day of the month occurring immediately
following the date a Compliance Certificate is delivered under the Loan Documents; provided, that if a Compliance Certificate is not
delivered when due in accordance with Section 9.3, then the Level corresponding to the Credit Rating then in effect shall apply
as of the first Business Day of the month occurring after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered
and shall remain in effect until the date on which such Compliance Certificate is delivered.

shall constitute such Lender’s Tranche C Term Loan included in the borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice
to any claim the Borrower may have against a Tranche C Term Loan Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Tranche
C Term Loan to be made by such Lender.

the extent permitted under Applicable Law).
54

and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other
information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently
determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent
restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate
or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest
rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall
pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days

and as of such earlier date), and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance

by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative
Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. If the due date of any payment
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period
of such extension.
60
(b) Presumptions
Regarding Payments by Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on
which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not
be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in
fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed
to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date
of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Class and Type shall be coterminous.
61
Section 3.3. Sharing
of Payments, Etc.
If any Lender shall,
by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its
Loans or other Obligations owing to such Lender resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligation greater than the share thereof as provided in Section 3.2. or Section 11.5.,
as applicable, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase
(for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other Obligations owing to the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments
as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with Section 3.2.
or Section 11.5., as applicable; provided that:
(i) if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall
be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of a participation in, any of its Loans to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this Section shall
apply).
The Borrower consents to the foregoing
and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 3.4. Several
Obligations.
No Lender shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other
Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder
shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such
other Lender.
Section 3.5. Fees.
(a) Closing
Fee. On the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender all fees as have been agreed to
in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
62
(b) Ticking
Fee. Commencing on the date which is ninety-one (91) days following the Effective Date or,
in the case of the Tranche E Term Loan Commitments, ninety-one (91) days following the First Amendment Effective Date, and
during the remainder of the Availability Period with respect to each Class of Loans, the Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders of such Class a facility ticking fee equal to the sum of the daily amount
of the Tranche C Term Loan Commitments of
such Class available and Tranche D Term Loan Commitments available, multiplied
by a per annum rate equal to 0.20%. Such feeFor
the avoidance of doubt, no ticking fee shall accrue or be payable in respect of the Tranche C Incremental Term Loan Commitments or
the Tranche D Incremental Term Loan Commitments. Such fees shall be computed on a daily basis and payable quarterly in
arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October that occurs during the Availability Period for such
Class (on or after the date that is ninety-one (91) days following the Effective Date,
or, in the case of the Tranche E Term Loan Commitments, ninety-one (91) days following the First Amendment Effective Date)
and on the Availability Termination Date for such Class.
(c) Tranche
D Prepayment Fee. If, pursuant to Section 2.9., the Borrower prepays the Tranche D Term Loans, in whole or part at any time (i) on
or before the first anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Tranche D Term Loan Lender a prepayment fee equal to two percent (2.0%) of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) after the first
anniversary of the Effective Date but on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Tranche D Term Loan Lender a prepayment fee equal to one percent (1.0%) of the amount of such prepayment.
The Borrower and the Lenders agree that such prepayment fee is a reasonable calculation of the Lenders’ lost profits in view of
the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early prepayment of the Tranche D Term Loans and is
not a penalty.
(d) Administrative
and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Administrative Agent as provided in the Fee Letters
and as may be otherwise agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(e) Tranche
E Prepayment Fee. If, pursuant to Section 2.9., the Borrower prepays the Tranche E Term Loans, in whole or part at any time (i) on
or before the first anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Tranche E Term Loan Lender a prepayment fee equal to two percent (2.0%) of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) after
the first anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date but on or before the second anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date,
the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche E Term Loan Lender a prepayment fee equal to one
percent (1.0%) of the amount of such prepayment. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that such prepayment fee is a reasonable calculation
of the Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early
prepayment of the Tranche E Term Loans and is not a penalty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment fee shall be payable under this
Section 3.5.(e) in respect of any assignment of Tranche E Term Loans made in connection with the replacement of an Affected
Lender pursuant to Section 5.6. or the replacement of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.
63
Section 3.6. Computations.
Unless otherwise
expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.
Section 3.7. Usury.
In no event shall
the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law
and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited
as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess
sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly
or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. The
parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this
Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.6.(a)(i) through (iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, prepayment fees, underwriting
fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement
for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender, in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges
made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed
or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall
under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully
earned and nonrefundable when due.
Section 3.8. Statements
of Account.
The Administrative
Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the
Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge
the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.
64
Section 3.9. Defaulting
Lenders.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender
is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(a) Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this
Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders and in Section 13.6.
(b) Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI or otherwise) or received by the Administrative
Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.3. shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative
Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second,
as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting
Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third,
if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy
such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against
such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach
of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(c) Certain
Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.5.(b) for any period during which
that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required
to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(d) Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative
Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set
forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take
such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held by the Lenders pro rata as
if there had been no Lenders that were Defaulting Lenders, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no
adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender
was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, subject to Section 13.20., 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.
65
(e) Purchase
of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and Loans. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by
the Borrower giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that
such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13.5.(b). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding
an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole
discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and Loans via an assignment
subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(b). In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting
Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and
Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.5.(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of
$7,500; provided that the failure or unwillingness of such Defaulting Lender to execute the Assignment and Assumption and other
necessary documents shall not prevent or delay such assignment and the Assignment and Assumption and other necessary documents shall
be automatically deemed to be fully authorized and executed by the Defaulting Lender if such Defaulting Lender does not promptly
execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment (and, if such Lender fails to deliver any Notes held by it,
such Notes shall automatically be deemed cancelled and such Lender shall be required to indemnify the Borrower for any liabilities
incurred by the Borrower by reason of the failure of such Lender to deliver such Notes). The exercise by the Borrower of its rights
under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent
or any of the Lenders.
Section 3.10. Taxes.
(a) [Reserved].
(b) Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document
shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined
in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment
by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely
pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is
an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after
such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and 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 such deduction or withholding been
made.
(c) Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d) Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within thirty
(30) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a
payment to such Recipient and 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 Borrower 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.
66
(e) Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for
(i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or another Loan Party has not already
indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the other Loan
Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.5.
relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that
are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such
Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount
due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection. The provisions of this subsection shall continue to inure to the benefit of an
Administrative Agent following its resignation or removal as Administrative Agent.
(f) Evidence
of Payments. Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, as soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes (excluding for
purposes of this Section 3.10.(f), taxes, assessments, fees and other charges paid by any Loan Party in the normal course of operating
its development and asset management business such as, for example, real property and personal property ad valorem taxes, business licenses,
sales tax, plat fees, zoning application fees, building permit fees and other municipal fees) by the Borrower or any other Loan Party
to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting
such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g) Status of Lenders.
(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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable
Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to
determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than
such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) 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.
67
(ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:
(A) any
Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent),
an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any
successor form) 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following
is applicable:

U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption

of such tax treaty;
(II) an
electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E,

(C) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an
original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming

the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times

69
(h) Treatment
of Certain Refunds. 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 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 subsection (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 subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay
any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 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 subsection 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.
(i) Survival.
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.
ARTICLE IV [RESERVED]
ARTICLE V
YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
Section 5.1. Additional Costs;
Capital Adequacy.
(a) Capital
Adequacy. If any Lender determines that any Regulatory Change affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity ratios or 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 such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by
such Lender the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.
70
(b) Additional
Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection, the Borrower shall promptly, but in any
event within ten (10) days of the written demand therefor, pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the
account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender or the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to
compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender for any costs incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender that it
determines are attributable to its making of, or maintaining, continuing or converting, any Loans or its obligation to make,
maintain, continue or convert any Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by
such Lender or the Administrative Agent of capital or liquidity in respect of its Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs
and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory
Change that:
(i) Subjects
such Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to any Taxes in respect of any of such
Loans or its Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded
Taxes and Connection Income Taxes);
(ii) imposes
or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, liquidity insurance charge or similar requirements (other than Regulation D
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities
or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on SOFR Loans is determined to the extent
utilized when determining Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any
deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation),
or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or
(iii) imposes
on any Lender or the Administrative Agent or the applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting
this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender or the Administrative Agent.
(c) Lender’s
Suspension of SOFR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b),
if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified
level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest
rate on SOFR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that
includes SOFR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may
hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender
to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, SOFR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to
be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).
(d) [Reserved].
71
(e) Notification
and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to notify
the Borrower (and in the case of any Lender, to notify the Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the Agreement Date
entitling the Administrative Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as
promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give such
notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be
required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine
months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise
to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof). The Administrative Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the
Borrower (and in the case of a Lender to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each
request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of the
effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the
Administrative Agent and or any such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten
(10) days after receipt thereof.
Section 5.2. Suspension of SOFR
Loans.
Subject to Section 5.9.
hereof and anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of Daily Simple SOFR or Term SOFR for
any Interest Period:
i. the
Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the
ascertaining Term SOFR for such Interest Period or Daily Simple SOFR;
ii. the
Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant
deposits referred to in the definition of Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR (or related definitions) are not being provided in the relevant
amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for any SOFR Loans as provided herein; or
iii. the
Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in
the definition of Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR (or related definitions) upon the basis of which the rate of interest for any SOFR Loans
is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining such SOFR Loans;
then the Administrative
Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall
be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional Term SOFR Loans and/or Daily Simple SOFR Loans, as applicable, Continue Term
SOFR Loans (if applicable) or Convert Loans into Term SOFR Loans and/or Daily Simple SOFR Loans and the Borrower shall, (1) on the
last day of each current Interest Period for any outstanding Term SOFR Loans or (2) immediately for any Daily Simple SOFR Loans,
either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.
72
Section 5.3. Illegality.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is
unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain SOFR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the
Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to
Convert Loans of any other Type into, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may
again make and maintain SOFR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).
Section 5.4. Compensation.
The Borrower shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as
the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense
attributable to:
(a) any
payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a Term SOFR Loan, or Conversion of a Term SOFR Loan, made by such Lender for
any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration or the exercise by the Borrower of its rights under Section 5.6.) on a date
other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b) any
failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified
in Section 6.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a Term SOFR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base
Rate Loan into a Term SOFR Loan or Continue a Term SOFR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.
Not in limitation of the foregoing,
such compensation shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that
would have accrued on such Term SOFR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such Term SOFR Loan, less
(B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same Term SOFR Loan for the same period if Term SOFR were set on the date on
which such Term SOFR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such
Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate Term SOFR quoted on such date. Upon the Borrower’s
request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation
and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
73
Section 5.5. Treatment of Affected
Loans.
(a) If
the obligation of any Lender to make SOFR Loans of any Type or to Continue Term SOFR Loans, or to Convert Loans of any other Type
into, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2. or
Section 5.3. then such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans (1) in the
case of affected Daily Simple SOFR Loans, immediately or (2) in the case of affected Term SOFR Loans, on the last
day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by
Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3. on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, may specify to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable)) and, unless and until such Lender
or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1.,
Section 5.2. or Section 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(i) to
the extent that such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise
be applied to such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(ii) all
affected Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as SOFR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate
Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into affected SOFR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
If such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable) that the circumstances specified
in Section 5.1.(c), 5.2. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans pursuant to this Section no
longer exist (which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist)
at a time when affected SOFR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically
Converted, (1) in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Loans, immediately and (2) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, on the first day(s) of
the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Term SOFR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect
thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding such SOFR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and
Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
The Lenders and
Administrative Agent may elect, if commercially reasonable and if permitted by Applicable Law, to Convert the Loans which are subject
to Conversion under this Article from SOFR Loans of the applicable Type to Base Rate Loans after the expiration of all Derivative
Contracts of which Administrative Agent has received written notice and copies that may affect such Loans subject to Conversion in order
to avoid any breakage fees or other costs or charges associated with a premature termination of such Derivatives Contracts.
74
Section 5.6. Affected Lenders.
If (a) a Lender
requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 5.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same or (b) the
obligation of any Lender to make SOFR Loans of any Type or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, SOFR Loans shall be
suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c) or 5.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended
under such Sections, and in the case of clause (a) or (b) such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different
Lending Office in accordance with Section 5.7., or (c) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then
the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, demand that
such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand such Lender shall promptly, assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.5.(b)),
all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.10. or Section 5.1. and
rights to indemnification under Section 13.9.) 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:
(i) the
Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 13.5.(b)(iv);
(ii) such
Lender shall have received payment of (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to such Lender, plus (y) any
accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon
by such Lender and Eligible Assignee;
(iii) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.1. or payments required to be made pursuant
to Section 3.10., such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and
(v) in
the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the
applicable consent, approval, amendment or waiver.
The Affected Lender shall reasonably
cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute
all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate
Assignment and Assumption, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any
way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights
under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent,
the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation
to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant
to Sections 3.10. or 5.1.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.
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 Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
75
Section 5.7. Change of Lending
Office.
If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 5.1., or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.10., then such Lender shall (at the written
request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder
or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.10. or
Section 5.1., as the case may be, in the future, and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense
and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Section 5.8. Assumptions Concerning
Funding of SOFR Loans.
Calculation of all
amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded the applicable SOFR Loans
through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such SOFR Loans in an amount equal
to the amount of the SOFR Loans and, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided,
however, that each Lender may fund each of its SOFR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used
only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.
Section 5.9. Benchmark Replacement
Setting.
(a) Benchmark Replacement.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment
shall become effective at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the
date the Administrative Agent posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative
Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the
Requisite Lenders.
(ii) No
Derivatives Contracts shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 5.9.
(b) Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative
Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any
other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of
any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
76
(c) Notices;
Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of
(A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of
any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor
of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (d) below and (E) the commencement 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, 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 5.9.
(d) Unavailability
of Tenor of Benchmark. 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 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 no longer be compliant
with, or the administration of such Benchmark fails to be aligned with, the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO)
Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any
similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-compliant or non-aligned
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 compliant with, or the administration of such Benchmark fails to be aligned with, the International Organization
of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent
may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after
such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e) Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower
may revoke any request for a Loan under the Term SOFR option or the Daily Simple SOFR option, or conversion to or continuation of Loans
under the Term SOFR option or the Daily Simple SOFR option, as applicable, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability
Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of or conversion to
Loans bearing interest under the Base Rate option. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current
Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of 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.

principal) contained herein or therein and as may be limited by equitable principles generally.
(d) Compliance
of Loan Documents with Laws. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any Loan
Party is a party in accordance with their respective terms and the borrowings and other extensions of credit hereunder do not and will

all Environmental Laws) relating to the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute
a default under the organizational documents of any Loan Party, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower

the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by any Loan Party other than

estate assets of the Borrower and each other Loan Party, setting forth, for each such Property, whether such property is an Eligible Property

the property subject to such Lien. As of the Agreement Date, the Parent, Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries have
performed and are in compliance with all of the terms of such Indebtedness and all instruments and agreements relating thereto, and no
default or event of default, or event or condition which with the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default

82
(h) Litigation.
Except as set forth on Schedule 7.1.(h), there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending (or, to the actual knowledge of any Loan
Party, are there any actions, suits or proceedings threatened, nor is there any basis therefor) against or in any other way relating
adversely to or affecting the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any of their respective property in any court
or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any other Governmental Authority which, (i) could reasonably be expected

Loan Party, each other Subsidiary and their respective properties, income, profits and assets which are due and payable thereunder have
been paid, except any such nonpayment or non-filing which (a) with respect to Taxes that are being contested by appropriate proceedings
and appropriate reserves have been taken in accordance with GAAP or (b) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse

its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, and the related audited consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, with the opinion thereon
of KPMG LLP, and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter
ended June 30, 2025, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of
the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the three fiscal quarter period ended on such date. Such financial statements (including
in each case related schedules and notes) are complete and correct in all material respects and present fairly, in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied throughout the periods involved, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as at their respective dates and the results of operations and the cash flows for such periods (subject, as to interim statements, to
changes resulting from normal year-end audit adjustments). Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has on the Agreement Date any
material contingent liabilities, liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual or long-term commitments or unrealized or forward anticipated
losses from any unfavorable commitments that would be required to be set forth in its financial statements or notes thereto, except as
referred to or reflected or provided for in said financial statements. Each of the operating summaries pertaining to each of the Eligible
Properties delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent fairly presents the Net Operating Income of each such Property for the
period then ended.
(k) No
Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2024, there has been no event, change, circumstance or occurrence that could reasonably
be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Each of (i) the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken

83
(l) [Reserved].
(m) ERISA.
(i) Each
Benefit Arrangement is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and other Applicable Laws in all
material respects. Except with respect to Multiemployer Plans, each Qualified Plan (A) has received a favorable determination from
the Internal Revenue Service applicable to such Qualified Plan’s current remedial amendment cycle (as defined in Revenue Procedure
2007-44 or “2007-44” for short), (B) has timely filed for a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service during its staggered remedial amendment cycle (as defined in 2007-44) and such application is currently being processed by the

defined in 2007-44) and received such determination letter and the staggered remedial amendment cycle first following the GUST remedial
amendment period for such Qualified Plan has not yet expired, or (D) is maintained under a prototype plan and may rely upon a favorable
opinion letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to such prototype plan. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, nothing
has occurred which would cause the loss of its reliance on each Qualified Plan’s favorable determination letter or opinion letter.
(ii) With
respect to any Benefit Arrangement that is a retiree welfare benefit arrangement, all amounts have been accrued on the applicable
ERISA Group’s financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 715. The “benefit obligation” of all Plans does not
exceed the “fair market value of plan assets” for such Plans by more than $10,000,000 all as determined by and with such
terms defined in accordance with FASB ASC 715.
(iii) Except
as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) no ERISA Event has

or lawsuits or other action by any Governmental Authority, plan participant or beneficiary with respect to a Benefit Arrangement; (iii) there
are no violations of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Benefit Arrangement;
(iv) no
member of the ERISA Group has engaged in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction,” as defined in Section 406 of ERISA and

on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code; and (v) no
assessment or tax has arisen under Section 4980H of the Internal Revenue Code.
(iv) As of the
Effective Date, the Borrower is not and will not be using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as

incorporation or formation, bylaws, partnership agreement or other similar organizational documents, and no event has occurred,
which has not been remedied, cured or waived: (i) which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default; or (ii) which
constitutes, or which with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute, a default or event of default by,
any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary under any agreement (other than this Agreement) or judgment, decree or order to which any
such Person is a party or by which any such Person or any of its respective properties may be bound where such default or event of

be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party has any knowledge of, or has received written
notice of, any past, present, or pending releases, events, conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents, facts, occurrences,
actions, or plans that, with respect to any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, their respective businesses, operations or with respect
to the Properties, is reasonably likely to: (x) cause or contribute to an actual violation of or noncompliance with Environmental
Laws, (y) cause or contribute to any other common law or legal claim or other liability, or (z) cause any of the Properties

at or transported from the Properties by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary are or have been transported to, or
disposed of at, any location that is listed or proposed for listing on the National Priority List or any analogous state or local priority
list, or any other location that is or has been the subject of a clean-up, removal or remedial action pursuant to any Environmental Law,
except to the extent that such transportation or disposal could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or (ii) subject to any other Applicable
Law which purports to regulate or restrict its ability to borrow money or obtain other extensions of credit or to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or to perform its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party.
(q) Margin

all patents, licenses, franchises, trademarks, trademark rights, service marks, service mark rights, trade names, trade name rights, trade
secrets and copyrights (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) necessary to the conduct of its businesses, without
known conflict with any patent, license, franchise, trademark, trademark right, service mark, service mark right, trade secret, trade
name, copyright, or other proprietary right of any other Person. All such Intellectual Property is fully protected and/or duly and properly
registered, filed or issued in the appropriate office and jurisdictions for such registrations, filing or issuances. No material claim
has been asserted by any Person with respect to the use of any such Intellectual Property by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
other Subsidiary, or challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property. The use of such Intellectual
Property by the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, subject to
such claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any liabilities on the part of the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(t) Business.
As of the Agreement Date, the Parent, Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries are engaged in the business of the ownership,

year end audit adjustments and absence of full footnote disclosure). All financial projections and other forward looking statements
prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that have been or may hereafter be made
available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender were or will be prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by the
Borrower to be reasonable at the time made available. No fact is known to any Loan Party which has had, or may in the future have
(so far as any Loan Party can reasonably foresee), a Material Adverse Effect which has not been set forth in the financial
statements referred to in Section 7.1.(j) or in such information, reports or other papers or data or otherwise disclosed
in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. No document furnished or written statement made to the Administrative Agent
or any Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of, or pursuant to, this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit to state a material fact

with “plan assets,” as that term is defined in 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA,
the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the extensions of credit and repayment of
amounts hereunder, do not and will not constitute “prohibited transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.

perform its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party.

Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right
preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.
111
(b) Enforcement
by Administrative Agent. 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 Article XI for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not
prohibit (i) 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, (ii) [reserved], (iii) any Specified
Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit under any Specified
Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement, as applicable, (iv) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance
with Section 13.3. (subject to the terms of Section 3.3.), or (v) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and
filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided,
further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then
(x) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article XI and (y) in
addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.3., any
Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite
Lenders.
112
ARTICLE XII THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 12.1. Appointment and Authorization.
Each Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such
Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to
the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the
benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite
Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the
powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and
binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any
Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”,
“agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote
any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such
terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender, promptly upon
receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents
delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX that the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly to
the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an
original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any
other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered
or otherwise made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any
matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the
Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to
act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the
Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions
shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the
Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not
in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan
Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent
otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a
result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in
accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.
Section 12.2. Administrative
Agent as Lender.
The Lender acting as
Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender, a Specified Derivatives Provider or a Specified Cash
Management Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any
Specified Cash Management Agreement, as the case may be, as any other Lender, Specified Derivatives Provider or any Specified Cash
Management Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or
“Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent in each
case in its individual capacity. Such Lender and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances
for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind
of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty
to account therefor to the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers or any Specified Cash Management Banks. Further, the
Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with
this Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management Agreement, or otherwise without having to
account for the same to the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers or any Specified Cash Management Banks. The Lenders
acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive
information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be
subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no
obligation to provide such information to them.
113
Section 12.3. Approvals of Lenders.
All communications
from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent or approval (a) shall be given
in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such
determination, consent or approval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue
may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved and (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by
such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower
in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically
objects to the requested determination, consent or approval (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such
objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms
of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved such requested determination,
consent or approval. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any amendment, waiver or consent regarding any of the matters
described in Section 13.6.(b).
Section 12.4. Notice of Events of Default.
The Administrative
Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent
has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also
serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent
such a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to
the Administrative Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents. Further, if
the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to
the Lenders.
114
Section 12.5. Administrative Agent’s Reliance.
Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties
shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or
therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any
other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other
Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made
by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any
Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any
other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or
any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lender Parties in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications,
representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or
statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone,
telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The
Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and
shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent or attorney-in-fact as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.
115
Section 12.6. Indemnification
of Administrative Agent.
Each Lender agrees to
indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower
to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any
time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a
Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action
taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however,
that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable
judgment; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all
of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes
of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its Pro
Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable reimbursement is sought) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise)
of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action
brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender
liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against
the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel
fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the
Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that
the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment
of the Loans and all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative
Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable
Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making
any such payment.
Section 12.7. Lender Credit
Decision, Etc.
Each of the Lenders
expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations
or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or
warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and
based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and
inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the
other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder,
the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the
Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The
Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other
Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of,
or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and
other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of
its Related Parties. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to
any Lender.
116
Section 12.8. Successor Administrative
Agent.
The Administrative Agent
may (a) resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and
the Borrower or (b) be removed as administrative agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lenders then acting as
Administrative Agent) and, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower upon 30 days’ prior written notice if
the Administrative Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have
committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is
insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or
custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in
any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the
Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all
events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted
such appointment, within thirty (30) days after (a) the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation
or (b) the Lenders’ giving of notice of removal, then the resigning or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise
shall be an Eligible Assignee (but in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate
of a Defaulting Lender); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no Lender
has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
applicable notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been
appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided, further that such Lenders so acting directly shall be and
be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent
as if each such Lender were itself the Administrative Agent. 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 current Administrative Agent, and the resigning or removed Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or
removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its
Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.
117
Section 12.9. Arrangers and Titled Agents.
The Arrangers and
the Syndication Agents, in such capacity, assume no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing,
enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Arrangers
and the Syndication Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of any Arranger or any Syndication Agent
to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on any Arranger
or any Syndication Agent any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle any Arranger or any Syndication Agent
to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.
Section 12.10. Specified Derivatives Contracts and
Specified Cash Management Agreements.
No Specified Cash
Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 11.5. by virtue of the provisions hereof or
of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to
the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified
Cash Management Agreements and Specified Derivatives Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Specified
Cash Management Agreements and Specified Derivatives Contracts, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent
may request, from the applicable Specified Cash Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be.
Section 12.11. Certain ERISA Matters.
(a) Each
Lender (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, the Arrangers, and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any
other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i) such
Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit
Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans or the Commitments;
118
(ii) the
transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent
qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts),
PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption
for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined
by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and
performance of the Loans, 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
84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate
in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration
of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of
Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of
PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the
Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement; or
(iv) such
other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and
such Lender.
(b) In
addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or
(2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with 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, the Arrangers, and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to
or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor any of their respective
Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration
of and performance of the Loans and this Agreement (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 hereto or thereto).
Section 12.12. Release of Guarantors.
Each of the Lenders
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, release the Guarantor from its Guaranty as, if and
when required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
119
Section 12.13. Erroneous Payments.
(a) If
the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient,
a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt
of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient
(whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment
or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”)
and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property
of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent,
and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient
to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous
Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest
thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient
to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds 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. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.
(b) Without
limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, hereby
further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of
principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) 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, prepayment or repayment sent by the
Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not
preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates),
or (z) that such Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake
(in whole or in part) in each case:
(i) (A) in
the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written
confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause
(z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii) such
Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events,
within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment
or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.13.(b).
120
(c) Each
Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under
any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount
due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d) In
the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand
therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received
such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion
thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the
Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but
not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous
Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the
Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the
“Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee
to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver
an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes
evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall
be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent
as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the
assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for
the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which
shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest
in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans
acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment
Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof),
and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient
that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce
the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In
addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof)
acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be
equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable
Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment
Subrogation Rights”).
121
(e) The
parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount
of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for
the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f) To
the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives,

Section 13.2. Expenses.
The Borrower agrees
(a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan
Documents (including due diligence expenses and reasonable travel expenses related to closing), and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent
and, if necessary, of local counsel for the Administrative Agent in each relevant jurisdiction and all costs and expenses of the
Administrative Agent in connection with the use of a Platform in connection with the Loan Documents and the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent relating to all such activities, (b) to pay or reimburse the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all their reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement,
attempted enforcement or preservation of any rights or remedies under the 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 the reasonable fees and disbursements of each of their respective counsel and
any payments in indemnification or otherwise payable by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, and
(c) to the extent not already covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the fees and disbursements of
counsel (subject to the same limitations set forth in the proviso to clause (b) above) to the Administrative Agent and any
Lender incurred in connection with the representation of the Administrative Agent or such Lender in any matter relating to or
arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f), including, without
limitation (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and
delivery of any document relating to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any debtor-in-possession
financing or any plan of reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by the Borrower, such Loan Party,
the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such
proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding. If the Borrower shall fail to pay any amounts required to be
paid by it pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts on behalf of the Borrower and
such amounts shall be deemed to be Obligations owing hereunder. This Section 13.2. shall not apply to Taxes.
Section 13.3. Setoff.
Subject to
Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any
such rights, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, and each Participant, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without notice to the Borrower or
to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or a
Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off
and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by
certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative
Agent, such Lender, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and
all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2., and
although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if 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 3.9. 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) such 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.
124
Section 13.4. Litigation; Jurisdiction;
Other Matters; Waivers.
(a) EACH
PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS
WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST
ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER
BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
(b) THE
BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING
OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT,
ANY LENDER, OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION,
LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION
OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED
BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE
HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY
OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION
OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS
SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT
BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.
125
(c) EACH
OF THE PARENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN,
AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED
TO THE PARENT OR THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN. SHOULD THE PARENT OR THE BORROWER FAIL TO APPEAR OR ANSWER
ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS SO SERVED WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE MAILING THEREOF, THE PARENT OR THE BORROWER SHALL
BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT AND AN ORDER AND/OR JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED AGAINST IT AS DEMANDED OR PRAYED FOR IN SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT,
PROCESS OR PAPERS.
(d) THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL
CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 13.5. Successors and
Assigns.
(a) Successors
and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by
way of participation in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d) or (iii) by way of
pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of the immediately following subsection (e) (and,
subject to the last sentence of the immediately following subsection (b), any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party
hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other
than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in the
immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
126
(b) Assignments
by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment
shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in
the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender’s Commitments of any Class or Loans at the
time owing to it with respect to any Class, 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 the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment of a Class and the
principal outstanding balance of the Loans of such Class of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (in each case,
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 $1,000,000,
unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents
(each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to
such assignment, the outstanding principal balance of the Commitments of a Class or Loans of such assigning Lender of a
Class would be less than $1,000,000, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Commitment of such
Class and/or the Loans of such Class at the time owing to it.
(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 Loan or Commitment assigned, provided that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit
any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes of Commitments or Loans on a non-pro rata
basis.
(iii) Required
Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and,
in addition:
(A) the
consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event
of Default exists at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice
to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further,
that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the facilities evidenced under this Agreement;
and
127
(B) the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect
of a Loan or a Commitment to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
(iv) Assignment
and Acceptance; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 (or $7,500 in the event that such transferor Lender is a Defaulting Lender) for
each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender,
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon
the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements
so that new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.
(v) No
Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s
Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a
Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).
(vi) No
Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust
for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).
(vii) 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but
not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay
and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder
(and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with
its Pro Rata Share. 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.
128
Subject to acceptance
and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective
date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of
the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the
benefits of Sections 5.4., 13.2. and 13.9. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in
Section 13.10. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 the
immediately following subsection (d).
(c) Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal 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 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 Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as
a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender,
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
129
(d) Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to
any Person (other than a natural Person, a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary
benefit of, a natural Person, any Person that is a Defaulting Lender, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or
Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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. 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 (w) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal
on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon (other than a
waiver of default interest and changes in the calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio that may indirectly affect pricing) or
(z) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their Obligations under the Guaranty except as contemplated by
Section 8.12.(b), in each case, as applicable to that portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations that are subject
to the participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4.
(subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10.(g) (it being
understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10.(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided
that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.6. 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 5.1. or 3.10.,
with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such
entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable
participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts
to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.6. with respect to any Participant. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.3. as though it were a Lender; provided
that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and
address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or
other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document)
to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan 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.
(e) 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.
(f) No
Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not
make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings
in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other
jurisdiction.
130
(g) USA
Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and Anti-Money
Laundering Laws, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender shall provide
to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary
for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.
Section 13.6. Amendments and Waivers.
(a) Generally.

written consent of each Lender of such applicable Class;
(xi) [reserved]; or
(xii) release
any Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty (except as contemplated by Section 8.12.(b)), without the written
consent of each Lender;
it being understood and agreed that
(x) the consent of the Requisite Lenders is not also necessary
for the amendments approved by all affected Lenders pursuant to this clause (b). and
(y) the foregoing shall not restrict amendments in an incremental supplement entered into pursuant to Section 2.17 or an Extension
Amendment entered into in connection with Section 13.6, in each case, among the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and any Lender
providing any additional Class or tranche of Loans, which amendments are necessary to establish a new Class or tranche of Loans
and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
in connection with the establishment of such new Class or tranche, in each case without the consent of Lenders who are not providing
such new Class or tranche.
(c) Amendment
of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative
Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan Document
that (i) diminishes the rights of a Specified Derivatives Provider or a Specified Cash Management Bank in a manner or to an
extent dissimilar to that affecting the Lenders or (ii) increases the liabilities or obligations of a Specified Derivatives
Provider or a Specified Cash Management Bank shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the
consent of the Lender that is (or having an Affiliate that is) such Specified Derivatives Provider or such Specified Cash Management
Bank, as applicable. 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 Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended without the written
consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each
affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the written
consent of such Defaulting Lender. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right
consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder
shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section,
notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the
occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to
or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
133
(d) Technical
Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.6., if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have
jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions
of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity,
omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders. Any such amendment
shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement, and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly make a copy of such amendment available to the Lenders.
(e) Replacement
Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.6., the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without
the consent of any Lender (but subject to the absence of objection by Requisite Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 5.9.),
enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents
as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or otherwise effectuate the terms
of Section 5.9. in accordance with the terms of Section 5.9.
(f) [Reserved].
(g) Amend and Extend Transactions.
(i) The
Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an
“Extension”) of the maturity date of any Class of Loans to the extended maturity date specified in such
notice. Such notice shall (A) set forth the amount of the applicable Class of Loans that will be subject to the Extension
(which shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 and minimum increments of $25,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other amounts as
may be acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent)), (B) set forth the date on which such Extension is requested
to become effective (which shall be not less than fifteen (15) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such
Extension notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)) and
(C) identify the relevant Class of Loans to which such Extension relates. Each Lender of the applicable Class shall
be offered (an “Extension Offer”) an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the
same terms and conditions as each other Lender of such Class pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable
to, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans in respect of which Lenders shall have
accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans, as applicable, subject to the
Extension Offer as set forth in the Extension notice, then the Loans, of Lenders of the applicable Class shall be extended
ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such
Extension Offer.
134
(ii) The
following shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension: (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (B) the representations and warranties
made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and
correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation
or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such effective date of such Extension with the same force and effect
as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier
date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case
of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all
respects) on and as of such earlier date), (C) [reserved] and (D) the terms of such and Extended
Loans shall comply with subclause (iii) of this Section 13.6.(g). Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Loans of any Lender be extended pursuant to this Section 13.6.(g) unless
such Lender affirmatively accepts in writing the applicable Extension Offer, it being understood and agreed that a failure by a Lender
to respond to any such Extension Offer shall be deemed to be a rejection by such Lender of such Extension Offer.
(iii) The
terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment;
provided that (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Loan shall be no earlier than the latest maturity date then in effect
for any Class of Loans, (B) the average life to maturity of the Extended Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining average
life to maturity of the existing Loans, (C) the Extended Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security
with the existing Loans and the borrower and guarantors of the Extended Loans, as applicable, shall be the same as the Borrower and Guarantors
with respect to the existing Loans, (D) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premium applicable
to any Extended Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders, (E) the Extended Loans may participate
on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or mandatory prepayments with the other Loans
and (F) the terms of the Extended Loans shall be substantially identical to the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in sub-clauses
(A) through (E) above).
(iv) In
connection with any Extension, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify
to evidence the Extension (including, without limitation, legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date). The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension. Any Extension Amendment may,
without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary
or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to implement the terms of any such
Extension, including any amendments necessary to establish Extended Loans as a new Class or tranche of Loans and such other
technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in
connection with the establishment of such new Class or tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended
and non-extended Classes or tranches), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 13.6.(g).
135
Section 13.7. Nonliability of
Administrative Agent and Lenders.
The relationship
between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower
and lender. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision
in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be
deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any
other Loan Party. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the
Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations. 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), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the
arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length
commercial transactions between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other
hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate,
and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders 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 Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the Administrative
Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its 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, the
Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that
differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders has any obligation
to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby
waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach
or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
136
Section 13.8. Confidentiality.
The Administrative Agent
and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) but in any event may make disclosure:
(a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ other 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); (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section,
to (i) any actual or proposed assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential transfer of any
Commitment or Loan or participation therein as permitted hereunder, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations; (c) as required or requested by
any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as
otherwise required by Applicable Law (in which case, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent
such disclosure is permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably practicable, inform the Borrower promptly in advance thereof, to the
extent reasonably practicable and, otherwise promptly thereafter); (d) to the Administrative Agent’s or such
Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of
the information); (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document (or any Specified Derivatives
Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document (or any Specified
Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the
extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known
by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower; (g) to
the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority
(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have
jurisdiction over it; (h) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information
customarily found in such publications; (i) to any other party hereto; (j) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service
Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loan Documents;
(k) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense; and (l) with the consent of the Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without
notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, any other Loan
Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the
Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate, provided that, in the case of any such information
received from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate after the date hereof, such information is
clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as
provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential
information.
137
Section 13.9. Indemnification.
(a) The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing
Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Party”) against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from,
and shall pay or reimburse any such Indemnified Party for, any and all losses, claims (including without limitation, Environmental Claims),
damages, liabilities and related expenses (including without limitation, the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any Indemnified
Party, incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person (including the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or any other Subsidiary)) other than such Indemnified Party and its Related Parties, arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of (i) 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 or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any
actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or any other Subsidiary, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary,
(iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnity
Proceeding”) relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether
brought by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party
is a party thereto, or (v) any claim (including without limitation, any Environmental Claims), investigation, litigation or other
proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising
out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to
herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultant’s
fees; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party to its Affiliates.
(b) If
and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees
to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.
(c) The
Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any of the other obligations set forth
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.
138
(d) This
Section 13.9. shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc.

deemed to include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified Derivatives Providers and Specified Cash
Management Banks, as applicable.
Section 13.10. Termination; Survival.
This Agreement shall
terminate at such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) [reserved], (c) none of the Lenders is obligated
any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the
following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full. The indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled
under the provisions of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4., 12.6., 13.2. and 13.9. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and the provisions of Section 13.4., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after
such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect
to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.
Section 13.11. Severability of Provisions.
If any provision
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable,
that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan Documents.
Section 13.12. GOVERNING LAW.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY
PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

To facilitate execution,
this Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts as may be convenient
or required (which may be effectively delivered by facsimile, in portable document format (“PDF”) or other similar
electronic means). It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons
required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not
be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures
of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.
139
Section 13.14. Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties
and Subsidiaries.
The obligations
of the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries as specified herein shall
be absolute and not subject to any defense the Borrower may have that the Borrower does not control such Loan Parties or Subsidiaries.
Section 13.15. Independence of Covenants.
All covenants hereunder
shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants,
the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
Section 13.16. Limitation of Liability.
None of the Administrative
Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives,
releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages suffered
or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents
or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
Section 13.17. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement and
the other Loan Documents embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements,
representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted
or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. To the extent any
term of this Agreement is inconsistent with a term of any other Loan Document to which the parties of this Agreement are party, the term
of this Agreement shall control to the extent of such inconsistency. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.
Section 13.18. Construction.
The Administrative
Agent, the Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been
afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Lender.
Section 13.19. Headings.
The paragraph and
section headings in this Agreement are provided for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its construction or interpretation.
140
Section 13.20. Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In
of Affected Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party
hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability
is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to,
and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the
application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which
may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution,
its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments
of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
or
(iii) the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution
Authority.
Section 13.21. Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported
QFCs.
To the extent that
the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Specified Derivatives 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):
(a) 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.
141
(b) As used in this Section 13.21., the following terms have the following meanings:
(A) “BHC
Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with,
12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
(B) “Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(I) a
“covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b);
(II) a
“covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or
(III) a
“covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).
(C) “Default
Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81,
47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
(D) “QFC”
has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12. U.S.C
5390(c)(8)(D).

of S&P, Fitch and Moody’s that are not equivalent and the difference between such Credit Ratings is (x) one Level, then
the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the higher of such Credit Ratings or (y) two or more Levels, then the Applicable
Margin shall be determined based on the Level that would be applicable if the rating was one higher than the lower of the two applicable
Credit Ratings received. During any period that the Parent or Borrower has only received one Credit Rating, then the Applicable Margin
shall be based upon such Credit Rating. During any period after the Investment Grade Rating Date that the Parent or Borrower has not
received a Credit Rating from any Rating Agency, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on Level 5 in the applicable
table above.

ARTICLE II CREDIT FACILITY
Section 2.1. [Reserved].
Section 2.2. Loans.
(a) Term
Loan Facility. The Lenders made Loans to the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement (such Loans being referred to as “Term
Loans” under the Existing Credit Agreement) (such facility, the “Term Loan Facility”). The Borrower hereby agrees
and acknowledges that as of the Effective Date, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans is $175,000,000 and shall continue hereunder
and for all purposes hereunder constitute and be referred to as the Loans hereunder, without constituting a novation, but in all cases
subject to the terms and conditions applicable to Loans hereunder. The Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the principal
amount of such Loan held by each Lender as of the Effective Date is set forth on Schedule I opposite the name of such Lender. Once repaid,
the principal amount of the Loans (or portion thereof) may not be reborrowed.
44
(b) Reallocations
on Effective Date. Each of the parties to this Agreement (including each Departing Lender) agree that, simultaneously with the effectiveness
of this Agreement, the principal amount of all outstanding “Term Loans” of each of the “Term Loan Lenders” under
the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Date, shall be reallocated among the Lenders so that the Loans are held
by the Lenders as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. To effect such reallocations each Lender who either was not a “Term
Loan Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement or whose outstanding
principal amount of its Loan upon the effectiveness of this Agreement exceeds the outstanding principal amount of its “Term Loan”
under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each an “Assignee Lender”)
shall be deemed to have purchased all right, title and interest in, and all obligations in respect of, the “Term Loans” from
the “Term Loan Lenders” under the Existing Credit Agreement who will not have a Loan on and as of the Effective Date or whose
Loan upon the effectiveness of this Agreement is less than their respective “Term Loans” under the Existing Credit Agreement
immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each an “Assignor Lender”), so that the Loans of the Lenders
will be held by the Lenders as set forth on Schedule I. Such purchases shall be deemed to have been effected by way of, and subject to
the terms and conditions of, an Assignment and Assumption without the payment of any related assignment fee, and, except for Notes to
be provided to the Assignor Lenders and Assignee Lenders in the principal amount of their respective Loans, and subject to acceptance
and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.5.(c), no other documents or instruments shall be, or shall
be required to be, executed in connection with such assignments (all of which are hereby waived). The Assignor Lenders, the Assignee
Lenders and the other Lenders shall make such cash settlements among themselves, through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative
Agent may direct with respect to such reallocations and assignments so that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans shall
be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Lender’s “Term Loan Amount” set forth on
Schedule I.
Section 2.3. [Reserved].
Section 2.4. [Reserved].
Section 2.5. [Reserved].
Section 2.6. Rates
and Payment of Interest on Loans.
(a) Rates.
The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall
be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:
(i) during
such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Base
Rate Loans applicable to such Loan;
45
(ii) during
such periods as such Loan is a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, at Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable
Margin for SOFR Loans applicable to such Loan; and
(iii) during
such periods as such Loan is a Term SOFR Loan, at Adjusted Term SOFR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor, plus the Applicable
Margin for SOFR Loans applicable to such Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, while an Event
of Default under Section 11.1.(a), 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f) exists (and at the direction of the Requisite Lenders while any
other Event of Default exists) or after the Obligations have otherwise been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, as the case may be, interest at the Post-Default Rate
on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under
the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the
extent permitted under Applicable Law).
(b) Payment
of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) with respect
to any Base Rate Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing with the first full calendar
month occurring after the Effective Date, (ii) with respect to any Term SOFR Loan, the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto and, in the case of any Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of more than three months’ duration, each day prior to the
last day of such Interest Period that occurs at three months’ duration after the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) on
any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise).
In the event of (i) any repayment or prepayment of any Term SOFR Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid
shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (ii) any conversion of any Term SOFR Loan prior to the end of the
Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. Interest payable at
the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate
hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) Borrower
Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates. The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations
and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other
information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently
determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent
restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate
or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such
interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower
shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business
Days of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination
of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s other
rights under this Agreement.
46

of Interest Periods.
There may be no more than
six (6) different Interest Periods for Term SOFR Loans outstanding at the same time and not more than six (6) Term SOFR Loans

Date.

Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior notice in the case of Base Rate Loans and Daily Simple SOFR Loans and three (3) Business
Days prior notice in the case of Term SOFR Loans (which notices may be by telecopy or electronic mail) of the prepayment of any Loan
which notice may be conditioned on the occurrence of refinancing thereof. Each voluntary prepayment of Loans shall be in an aggregate
minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) No
Effect on Derivatives Contracts. No repayment or prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section shall affect any of the Borrower’s
obligations under any Derivatives Contracts entered into with respect to the Loans.
47
Section 2.10. Continuation.
So long as no Default or
Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any Term SOFR Loan, elect to maintain such Term SOFR Loan
or any portion thereof as a Term SOFR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan. Each Continuation of a Term SOFR
Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount, and each new
Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection
of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 1:00
p.m. Central time on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation
shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the
proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the Term SOFR Loans and portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration
of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans
outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt
of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Continuation. If the Borrower shall fail
to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically,
on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of one month; provided,
however that if a Default or Event of Default exists, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period
therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.11. or the Borrower’s failure to comply
with any of the terms of such Section.
Section 2.11. Conversion.
The Borrower may on any Business
Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar
form of communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a
Base Rate Loan may not be Converted into a SOFR Loan and a Daily Simple SOFR Loan may not be converted into a Term SOFR Loan if a Default
or Event of Default exists. Each Conversion of Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans into Term SOFR Loans shall be in an aggregate
minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount. Any Conversion of a Term SOFR Loan into a Base
Rate Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan. Each such
Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any
proposed Conversion. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed
Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar
form of communication in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type
of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted
into and (e) if such Conversion is into a Term SOFR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. If the Borrower
shall elect a conversion to Term SOFR Loans but fails to select an Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan in accordance with this Section,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and
binding on the Borrower once given.
Section 2.12. Notes.
(a) Notes.
In the case of a Lender that has notified the Administrative Agent in writing that it elects to receive a Note, the Loan made by such
Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Note, payable to such Lender (or its registered assigns) in a principal
amount equal to the amount of its Loan and otherwise duly completed.
(b) Records.
The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to the Borrower,
and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall be binding
on the Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that (i) the failure of a Lender to make any such record
shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents and (ii) if there is a discrepancy between such
records of a Lender and the statements of accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.8., in the absence
of manifest error, the statements of account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.8. shall be controlling.
48
(c) Lost,
Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender
has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii)(A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of
indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation of such Note, the Borrower shall at its own expense execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.
Section 2.13. [Reserved].
Section 2.14. Extension of Maturity Date.
So long as no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may elect at least thirty (30) days but no more than ninety (90) days prior
to the then applicable Maturity Date, to extend the Maturity Date for a one-year period as provided in this Section 2.14. by providing
written notice of such election to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each of the Lenders). If on the then applicable
Maturity Date and on the date of delivery of the notice of such election (i) no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing,
(ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects
(except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be
true and correct in all respects) on and as of such date (or, if such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made
as of a specific date, as of such specific date), (iii) the Borrower pays the fee due pursuant to Section 3.5.(d), and (iv) the
Borrower has given written notice to the Administrative Agent of such election to extend the Maturity Date within the time frame set
forth in this Section 2.14., the Maturity Date shall be extended by one year.
Section 2.15. [Reserved].
Section 2.16. [Reserved].
49
Section 2.17. Incremental Facilities.
The Borrower shall have the
right to request the making of incremental term loans hereunder (“Incremental Loans”, and any such Incremental Loans,
an “Incremental Facility”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable
once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such Incremental Facility the aggregate principal amount
of Loans (including any such Incremental Loans) shall not exceed $400,000,000. Each such Incremental Facility must be an aggregate minimum
amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. The Arrangers, in consultation with the Borrower, shall
manage all aspects of the syndication of such Incremental Facilities, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders
and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such Incremental Loans and
the allocations thereof among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender
shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to provide Incremental Loans, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection
with any such requested Incremental Facility must be an Eligible Assignee. Incremental Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right
of payment with existing Loans, (ii) shall be equally and ratably secured with the existing Loans, (if
applicable), (iii) shall not mature earlier than the existing Loans, (iv) shall have no amortization or otherwise be
permitted to be prepaid prior to the Maturity Date, and (v) shall be treated substantially the same (and in any event not more favorably
than) the existing Loans. Effecting any Incremental Facility under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent:
(x) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such Incremental Facility, (y) the representations
and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party
shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material
Adverse Effect, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such
Incremental Facility except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which
case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation
or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct
in all respects) on and as of such earlier date), and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in
form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies
certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of (A) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by the
Borrower to authorize such Incremental Facility and (B) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each
Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such Incremental Facility; (ii) a supplement to this Agreement executed by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and any Lender providing such Incremental Facility, which supplement may include such amendments to this agreement
as the Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to implement such Incremental Facility contemplated by this Section 2.17.,
together with the consent of the Guarantors thereto; (iii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors, and addressed
to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; and (iv) new
or replacement Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any Lenders participating in such Incremental Facility, as applicable, in the
amount of such Lender’s aggregate Loans at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility. In connection
with any Incremental Facility, any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative
Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any 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.
50
Section 2.18. Funds Transfer Disbursements.
The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative
Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested
by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement.
ARTICLE III PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL
PROVISIONS
Section 3.1. Payments.
(a) Payments
by Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made
by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds,
without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, except to the extent required by Applicable Law including Taxes required to be withheld pursuant
to Section 3.10., to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the date on
which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next
succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 11.5., the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is
to be applied. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be
paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender
to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. In the
event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such amounts,
the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to
time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is
not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate,
if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.
(b) Presumptions
Regarding Payments by Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on
which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not
be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not
in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed
to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.
51
Section 3.2. Pro
Rata Treatment.
(a) Except
to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans shall be made for the account of the
Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; (ii) each payment of interest
on Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and
payable to the respective Lenders; and (iii) the Conversion and Continuation of Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions
provided for by Sections 5.1.(c) and 5.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective
Loans and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous.
(b) Each
of the parties hereto (including each Departing Lender) acknowledge and agree that on the Effective Date, all loans of each Lender identified
in its signature page hereto as a “Departing Lender” under this Agreement on the Effective Date (each, a “Departing
Lender”) previously made to the Borrower by such Departing Lender and other amounts owing by the Loan Parties to such Departing
Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents which remain outstanding immediately prior the Effective Date
shall be repaid in full under the Existing Credit Agreement (accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on a non-pro rata basis
with the “Lenders” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, and such Departing Lender shall cease to be a Lender
or otherwise a party to this Agreement; provided that rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
that are intended to survive any Lender ceasing to be a Lender or a party to any Loan Document shall survive in accordance with their
respective terms for the benefit of each Departing Lender. Each Departing Lender, the Lenders and the other parties hereto consent (which
consent shall be deemed effective under the Existing Credit Agreement) to such non-pro rata payment.
Section 3.3. Sharing
of Payments, Etc.
If any Lender shall, by exercising
any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other
Obligations owing to such Lender resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and
accrued interest thereon or other such Obligation greater than the share thereof as provided in Section 3.2. or Section 11.5.,
as applicable, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase
(for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other Obligations owing to the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments
as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with
Section 3.2. or Section 11.5., as applicable; provided that:
(i) if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall
be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of a participation in, any of its Loans to any assignee
or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this Section shall
apply).
52
The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees,
to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 3.4. Several
Obligations.
No Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder,
and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve
the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.
Section 3.5. Fees.
(a) Closing
Fee. On the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender all loan fees as have been agreed
to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) [Reserved].
(d) Extension
Fee. If the Borrower exercises its right to extend the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.14., the Borrower shall pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee equal to 0.125% of the amount of such Lender’s outstanding Loans
on the effective date of such extension. Such fee shall be due and payable in full on, and as a condition precedent to, the effective
date of such extension.
(e) [Reserved].
(f) Administrative
and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Administrative Agent as provided in the Fee Letters
and as may be otherwise agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
Section 3.6. Computations.
Unless otherwise expressly
set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of
a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.
53
Section 3.7. Usury.
In no event shall the amount
of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any
such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment
of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned
to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly,
in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. The parties hereto
hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and
shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.6.(a)(i) through (iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties
hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, underwriting fees, default charges,
late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and
expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate
the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and
to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances
be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable
when due.
Section 3.8. Statements
of Account.
The Administrative Agent
will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower
absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge
the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 3.9. Defaulting
Lenders.
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer
a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(a) Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this
Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders and in Section 13.6.
(b) Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI. or otherwise) or received by the
Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.3. shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined
by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative
Agent hereunder; second, [reserved]; third, [reserved]; fourth, [reserved]; fifth, [reserved];
sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained
by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of
any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed
by a court of competent jurisdiction.
54
(c) [Reserved].
(d) [Reserved].
(e) [Reserved].
(f) [Reserved].
(g) [Reserved].
(h) Purchase
of Defaulting Lender’s Loans. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by the Borrower giving
written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender
assign its Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(b). No party hereto shall
have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender
who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion
of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(b).
In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such
assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.5.(b), shall pay to the Administrative
Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $7,500; provided that the failure or unwillingness of such Defaulting Lender to execute the
Assignment and Assumption and other necessary documents shall not prevent or delay such assignment and the Assignment and Assumption
and other necessary documents shall be automatically deemed to be fully authorized and executed by the Defaulting Lender if such Defaulting
Lender does not promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment (and, if such Lender fails to deliver any
Notes held by it, such Notes shall automatically be deemed cancelled and such Lender shall be required to indemnify the Borrower for
any liabilities incurred by the Borrower by reason of the failure of such Lender to deliver such Notes). The exercise by the Borrower
of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative
Agent or any of the Lenders.
55
Section 3.10. Taxes.
(a) [Reserved].
(b) Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document
shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined
in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment
by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely
pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is
an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after
such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and 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 such deduction or withholding been
made.
(c) Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d) Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within thirty (30)
days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable
to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such
Recipient and 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 Borrower 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.
(e) Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for
(i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or another Loan Party has not already
indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the other Loan
Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.5.
relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that
are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to
such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any
amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection. The provisions of this subsection shall continue to inure to the benefit
of an Administrative Agent following its resignation or removal as Administrative Agent.
56
(f) Evidence
of Payments. Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, as soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes (excluding for
purposes of this Section 3.10.(f), taxes, assessments, fees and other charges paid by any Loan Party in the normal course of operating
its development and asset management business such as, for example, real property and personal property ad valorem taxes, business licenses,
sales tax, plat fees, zoning application fees, building permit fees and other municipal fees) by the Borrower or any other Loan Party
to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting
such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g) Status
of Lenders.
(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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such
Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding
two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately
following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) 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 the Borrower is a U.S. Person:
(A) any
Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9
(or any successor form) 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following
is applicable:
57
(I) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of,
U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article
of such tax treaty;
(II) an
electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;
(III) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank”
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and
(y) an electronic copy (or an original if requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable; or
(IV) to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9,
and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Foreign Lender is a partnership
and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender
may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect
partner;
(C) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an
original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming
exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may
be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required
to be made; and
58
(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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation
prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations
under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h) Treatment
of Certain Refunds. 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 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 subsection (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 subsection,
in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 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 subsection 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.
(i) Survival.
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, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan
Document.
59
ARTICLE IV [RESERVED]
ARTICLE V
YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
Section 5.1. Additional
Costs; Capital Adequacy.
(a) Capital
Adequacy. If any Lender determines that any Regulatory Change affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such
Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity ratios or 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 Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could
have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand
by such Lender the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(b) Additional
Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection, the Borrower shall promptly, but in any event
within ten (10) days of the written demand therefor, pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of a
Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender or the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to compensate the Administrative
Agent or such Lender for any costs incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making
of, or maintaining, continuing or converting, any Loans or its obligation to make, maintain, continue or convert any Loans hereunder,
any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender or the Administrative Agent of capital or liquidity
in respect of its Loans (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”),
resulting from any Regulatory Change that:
(i) Subjects
such Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to any Taxes in respect of any of such
Loans (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection
Income Taxes);
(ii) imposes
or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, liquidity insurance charge or similar requirements (other than Regulation
D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities
or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on SOFR Loans is determined to the extent
utilized when determining Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other
assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender
(or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender; or
60
(iii) imposes
on any Lender or the Administrative Agent or the applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes)
affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender or the Administrative Agent.
(c) Lender’s
Suspension of SOFR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b),
if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a
specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which
the interest rate on SOFR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of
such Lender that includes SOFR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or
assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation
of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, SOFR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory
Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).
(d) [Reserved].
(e) Notification
and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to notify the
Borrower (and in the case of any Lender, to notify the Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling
the Administrative Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable;
provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the
Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant
to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender
notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention
to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive,
then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). The Administrative
Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender to the Administrative Agent
as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent and or any such Lender, as the case may be, the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
61
Section 5.2. Changed
Circumstances.
Subject to Section 5.9.
hereof and anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Adjusted
Term SOFR for any Interest Period:
(a) Circumstances
Affecting Benchmark Availability. Subject to clause (c) below, in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or Daily
Simple SOFR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, or otherwise, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall
determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist
for ascertaining Adjusted Term SOFR for the applicable Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or Adjusted Daily Simple
SOFR for Daily Simple SOFR Loan, on or prior to the first day of such Interest Period or (ii) the Requisite Lenders shall determine
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Adjusted Term SOFR or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR does
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such Interest Period, then, in
each case, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent
to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans, as applicable, and any right of the
Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a Term SOFR Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, as applicable, shall be suspended
(to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans, Interest Periods or Daily Simple SOFR Loans). Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the
Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans
(to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans, Interest Periods or Daily Simple SOFR Loans) or, failing that, the Borrower will
be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to (x) Daily Simple SOFR Loans so long
as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of clauses (i) or (ii) above, or (y) Base Rate Loans if Adjusted Daily
Simple SOFR is the subject of clauses (i) or (ii) above, in each case, in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding
affected Term SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into (x) Daily Simple SOFR Loans so long as Adjusted Daily Simple
SOFR is not the subject of clauses (i) or (ii) above, or (y) Base Rate Loans if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject
of clauses (i) or (ii) above, in each case, at the end of the applicable Interest Period, or, in the case of any Daily Simple
SOFR Loan, immediately. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid
or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.4.
(b) Laws
Affecting SOFR Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in
the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation
or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful
or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain
any Term SOFR Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted
Term SOFR or Term SOFR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such
circumstances no longer exist, (i) any obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans, as applicable,
and any right of the Borrower to convert any Loan to a Term SOFR Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan or continue any Loan as a Term SOFR Loan
or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, as applicable, shall be suspended and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative
Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until
each such affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination
no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans, as applicable,
to (x) Daily Simple SOFR Loans so long as SOFR and Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of illegality, or (y) Base
Rate Loans if SOFR or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of illegality (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the
Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”),
in each case on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR
Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans, to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans
or Daily Simple SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount
so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.4.
62
Section 5.3. Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful
for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain SOFR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower
thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert
Loans of any other Type into, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again
make and maintain SOFR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).
Section 5.4. Compensation.
The Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the
Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense
attributable to:
(a) any
payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a Term SOFR Loan, or Conversion of a Term SOFR Loan, made by such Lender for
any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration or the exercise by the Borrower of its rights under Section 5.6.) on a date
other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
63
(b) any
failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified
in Section 6.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a Term SOFR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base
Rate Loan into a Term SOFR Loan or Continue a Term SOFR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.
Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation
shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued
on such Term SOFR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such Term SOFR Loan, less (B) the amount
of interest that would accrue on the same Term SOFR Loan for the same period if Adjusted Term SOFR were set on the date on which such
Term SOFR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such Term SOFR
Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate Adjusted Term SOFR quoted on such date. Upon the Borrower’s
request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation
and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 5.5. Treatment of Affected Loans.
(a) If
the obligation of any Lender to make SOFR Loans of any Type or to Continue Term SOFR Loans, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into,
Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2. or Section 5.3.
then such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans (1) in the case of affected Daily
Simple SOFR Loans, immediately or (2) in the case of affected Term SOFR Loans, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest
Period(s) for Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3.
on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may specify to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent, as applicable)) and, unless and until such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice as provided below that
the circumstances specified in Section 5.1., Section 5.2. or Section 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer
exist:
(i) to
the extent that such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would
otherwise be applied to such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(ii) all
affected Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as SOFR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate
Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into affected SOFR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
64
If such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable) that the circumstances specified in
Section 5.1.(c), 5.2. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans pursuant to this Section no
longer exist (which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to
exist) at a time when affected SOFR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically
Converted, (1) in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Loans, immediately and (2) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, on the first day(s) of
the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Term SOFR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect
thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding such SOFR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and
Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
The Lenders and Administrative
Agent may elect, if commercially reasonable and if permitted by Applicable Law, to Convert the Loans which are subject to Conversion
under this Article from SOFR Loans of the applicable Type to Base Rate Loans after the expiration of all Derivative Contracts of
which Administrative Agent has received written notice and copies that may affect such Loans subject to Conversion in order to avoid
any breakage fees or other costs or charges associated with a premature termination of such Derivatives Contracts.
Section 5.6. Affected Lenders.
If (a) a Lender requests
compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 5.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same or (b) the obligation
of any Lender to make SOFR Loans of any Type or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, SOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant
to Section 5.1.(c) or 5.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, and
in the case of clause (a) or (b) such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance
with Section 5.7., or (c) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense
and effort, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”),
and upon such demand such Lender shall promptly, assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.5.(b)), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments
pursuant to Section 3.10. or Section 5.1. and rights to indemnification under Section 13.9.) 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:
(i) the
Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 13.5.(b)(iv);
(ii) such
Lender shall have received payment of (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to such Lender, plus (y) any
accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon
by such Lender and Eligible Assignee;
(iii) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.1. or payments required to be made pursuant
to Section 3.10., such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
65
(iv) such
assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and
(v) in
the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to
the applicable consent, approval, amendment or waiver.
The Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate
in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute all documents
reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment
and Assumption, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever
to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this
Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected
Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay
to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant
to Sections 3.10. or 5.1.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.
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 Borrower
to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 5.7. Change of Lending Office.
If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 5.1., or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.10., then such Lender shall (at the written request of the Borrower)
use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.10. or Section 5.1., as the case may be, in the future,
and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.
The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.
Section 5.8. Assumptions Concerning Funding
of SOFR Loans.
Calculation of all amounts
payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded the applicable SOFR Loans through
the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such SOFR Loans in an amount equal to the
amount of the SOFR Loans and, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided,
however, that each Lender may fund each of its SOFR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used
only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.
66
Section 5.9. Effect
of Benchmark Transition Event.
(a) Benchmark
Replacement.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment
with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative
Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received,
by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Requisite Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark
with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 5.9. will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
(ii) No
Derivatives Contracts shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 5.9.
(b) Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement,
the Administrative Agent will have the right to make 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.
(c) Notices;
Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the
implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration,
adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement
of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 5.9.(d). 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 5.9., 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 5.9.
67
(d) Unavailability
of Tenor of Benchmark. 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 Reference
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 administrator of such Benchmark
or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing
that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the IOSCO Principles, then
the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any
Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned 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 not or
will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the IOSCO Principles for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement),
then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for
all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e) Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, (i) the
Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans
to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have
converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to (x) Daily Simple SOFR Loans so long as Adjusted Daily
Simple SOFR is not the subject of such unavailability or (y) Base Rate Loans if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of such
unavailability and (ii) any outstanding affected Term SOFR Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted
to (x) Daily Simple SOFR Loans so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of such unavailability or (y) Base
Rate Loans if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of such unavailability, in each case, at the end of the applicable Interest Period.
During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the
component of 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.

Section 6.2. Conditions
Precedent to All Loans.
In addition to satisfaction
or waiver of the conditions precedent contained in Section 6.1., the obligations of the Lenders to make any Loans are each subject
to the further conditions precedent that: (a) no Default or Event of Default shall exist as of the date of the making of such Loan
or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto; (b) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower
and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except

ARTICLE VII REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 7.1. Representations
and Warranties.
In order to induce the Administrative
Agent and each Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent
and each Lender as follows:
(a) Organization;
Power; Qualification. Each of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership, limited
liability company or other legal entity, duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or formation, has the power and authority to own or lease its respective properties and to carry on its respective business
as now being and hereafter proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership
or other legal entity, and authorized to do business, in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of
its business requires such qualification or authorization and where the failure to be so qualified or authorized could reasonably be
expected to have, in each instance, a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Parent is an
Affected Financial Institution.
71
(b) Ownership

the Parent setting forth for each such Subsidiary, (i) the jurisdiction of organization of such Subsidiary, (ii) each Person
holding any Equity Interest in such Subsidiary, (iii) the nature of the Equity Interests held by each such Person, (iv) the
percentage of ownership of such Subsidiary represented by such Equity Interests and (v) whether such Person is the Parent, the Borrower

owns, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens of the types described in clauses (a) and (f) of the definition
of “Permitted Liens” or, solely with respect to any Subsidiary that is an obligor in respect of any Nonrecourse Indebtedness,
a Lien in favor of the holder of such Nonrecourse Indebtedness to secure the obligations thereunder), and has the unencumbered right

capital stock of each such Person organized as a corporation is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and (C) there are no
outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, commitments, preemptive rights or agreements of any kind (including, without limitation,
any stockholders’ or voting trust agreements) for the issuance, sale, registration or voting of, or outstanding securities convertible
into, any additional shares of capital stock of any class, or partnership or other Equity Interests of any type in, any such Person.
As of the Agreement Date, Part II of Schedule 7.1.(b) correctly sets forth all Unconsolidated Affiliates of the Parent, including
the correct legal name of such Person, the type of legal entity which each such Person is, and all Equity Interests in such Person held
directly or indirectly by the Parent.
(c) Authorization
of Loan Documents and Borrowings. The Borrower has the right and power, and has taken all necessary action to authorize it, to borrow
and obtain other extensions of credit hereunder. The Borrower and each other Loan Party has the right and power, and has taken all necessary
action to authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party in accordance with their respective
terms and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any other Loan
Party is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of such Person and each is a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with its respective terms, except as the same may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable
remedies for the enforcement of certain obligations (other than the payment of principal) contained herein or therein and as may be limited
by equitable principles generally.
(d) Compliance
of Loan Documents with Laws. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any
Loan Party is a party in accordance with their respective terms and the borrowings and other extensions of credit hereunder do not and
will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both: (i) require any Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable
Law (including all Environmental Laws) relating to the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach
of or constitute a default under the organizational documents of any Loan Party, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which
the Borrower or any other Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its respective properties may be bound; or (iii) result
in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by any Loan
Party other than in favor of the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the other Lender Parties.
72
(e) Compliance
with Law; Governmental Approvals. Each of the Parent, Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries is in compliance
with each Governmental Approval and all other Applicable Laws relating to it except for noncompliances which, and Governmental Approvals
the failure to possess which, could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to cause a Default or Event of Default
or have a Material Adverse Effect.
(f) Title
to Properties; Liens. Part I of Schedule 7.1.(f) is, as of the Agreement Date, a complete and correct listing of all real
estate assets of the Borrower and each other Loan Party, setting forth, for each such Property, whether such property is an Eligible
Property or whether such Property is a Development Property. Each of the Borrower and each other Loan Party has good, marketable and
legal title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, each Property and any other asset included in the calculation of Total Asset Value.
No Eligible Property is subject to any Lien other than Permitted Liens and Liens set forth on Part II of Schedule 7.1(f).
(g) Existing
Indebtedness. Schedule 7.1.(g) is, as of the Agreement Date, a complete and correct listing of all Indebtedness of each of the
Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries, and if such Indebtedness is secured by any Lien, a description of all of
the property subject to such Lien. As of the Agreement Date, the Parent, Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries
have performed and are in compliance with all of the terms of such Indebtedness and all instruments and agreements relating thereto,
and no default or event of default, or event or condition which with the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, would constitute
a default or event of default, exists with respect to any such Indebtedness.
(h) Litigation.
Except as set forth on Schedule 7.1.(h), there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending (or, to the actual knowledge of any Loan
Party, are there any actions, suits or proceedings threatened, nor is there any basis therefor) against or in any other way relating
adversely to or affecting the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any of their respective property in any court or
before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any other Governmental Authority which, (i) could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) in any manner draws into question the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document as determined
by the Administrative Agent.
(i) Taxes.
All federal, state and other tax returns of the Borrower, each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary required by Applicable Law
to be filed have been duly filed, and all federal, state and other taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or levies upon,
each Loan Party, each other Subsidiary and their respective properties, income, profits and assets which are due and payable thereunder
have been paid, except any such nonpayment or non-filing which (a) with respect to Taxes that are being contested by appropriate
proceedings and appropriate reserves have been taken in accordance with GAAP or (b) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. As of the Agreement Date, none of the United States income tax returns of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other
Subsidiary is under audit.
73
All charges, accruals and reserves on the books
of the Borrower, the Parent, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges
are in accordance with GAAP.
(j) Financial
Statements. The Borrower has furnished to each Lender copies of (i) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and
its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, and the related audited consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, with the opinion thereon
of KPMG LLP, and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter
ended September 30, 2024 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows
of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the three fiscal quarter period ended on such date. Such financial statements (including
in each case related schedules and notes) are complete and correct in all material respects and present fairly, in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied throughout the periods involved, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as at their respective dates and the results of operations and the cash flows for such periods (subject, as to interim statements, to
changes resulting from normal year-end audit adjustments). Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has on the Agreement Date any
material contingent liabilities, liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual or long-term commitments or unrealized or forward anticipated
losses from any unfavorable commitments that would be required to be set forth in its financial statements or notes thereto, except as
referred to or reflected or provided for in said financial statements. Each of the operating summaries pertaining to each of the Eligible
Properties delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent fairly presents the Net Operating Income of each such Property for the
period then ended.
(k) No
Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2023, there has been no event, change, circumstance or occurrence that could reasonably
be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Each of (i) the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken
as a whole and (ii) the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, are Solvent.
(l) [Reserved].
(m) ERISA.
(i) Each
Benefit Arrangement is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and other Applicable Laws in
all material respects. Except with respect to Multiemployer Plans, each Qualified Plan (A) has received a favorable determination
from the Internal Revenue Service applicable to such Qualified Plan’s current remedial amendment cycle (as defined in Revenue Procedure
2007-44 or “2007-44” for short), (B) has timely filed for a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service during its staggered remedial amendment cycle (as defined in 2007-44) and such application is currently being processed by the

defined in 2007-44) and received such determination letter and the staggered remedial amendment cycle first following the GUST remedial
amendment period for such Qualified Plan has not yet expired, or (D) is maintained under a prototype plan and may rely upon a favorable
opinion letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to such prototype plan. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, nothing
has occurred which would cause the loss of its reliance on each Qualified Plan’s favorable determination letter or opinion letter.
74
(ii) With
respect to any Benefit Arrangement that is a retiree welfare benefit arrangement, all amounts have been accrued on the applicable ERISA
Group’s financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 715. The “benefit obligation” of all Plans does not exceed
the “fair market value of plan assets” for such Plans by more than $10,000,000 all as determined by and with such terms defined
in accordance with FASB ASC 715.
(iii) Except
as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) no ERISA Event has

or lawsuits or other action by any Governmental Authority, plan participant or beneficiary with respect to a Benefit Arrangement; (iii) there
are no violations of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Benefit Arrangement;
(iv) no
member of the ERISA Group has engaged in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction,” as defined in Section 406 of ERISA and

on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code; and (v) no
assessment or tax has arisen under Section 4980H of the Internal Revenue Code.
(iv) As

as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans.
(n) Absence
of Default. None of the Loan Parties or any of the other Subsidiaries is in default under its certificate or articles of incorporation
or formation, bylaws, partnership agreement or other similar organizational documents, and no event has occurred, which has not been
remedied, cured or waived: (i) which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default; or (ii) which constitutes, or which with
the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute, a default or event of default by, any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary
under any agreement (other than this Agreement) or judgment, decree or order to which any such Person is a party or by which any such
Person or any of its respective properties may be bound where such default or event of default could, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
75

to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Except for any of the following matters that could not reasonably
be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party has any knowledge of, or has received written
notice of, any past, present, or pending releases, events, conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents, facts, occurrences,
actions, or plans that, with respect to any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, their respective businesses, operations or with respect
to the Properties, is reasonably likely to: (x) cause or contribute to an actual violation of or noncompliance with Environmental
Laws, (y) cause or contribute to any other common law or legal claim or other liability, or (z) cause any of the Properties
to become subject to any restrictions on ownership, occupancy, use or transferability under any Environmental Law or require the filing
or recording of any notice, approval or disclosure document under any Environmental Law and, with respect to the immediately preceding
clauses (x) through (z) is based on or related to the on-site or off-site manufacture, generation, processing, distribution,
use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport, removal clean up or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release
of any wastes or Hazardous Material, or any other requirement under Environmental Law. There is no Environmental Claim pending or, to
the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened, against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary relating in any way to

Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and its implementing regulations, except as could not reasonably be expected
to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. To the Borrower’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials
generated at or transported from the Properties by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary are or have been transported
to, or disposed of at, any location that is listed or proposed for listing on the National Priority List or any analogous state or local
priority list, or any other location that is or has been the subject of a clean-up, removal or remedial action pursuant to any Environmental
Law, except to the extent that such transportation or disposal could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(p) Investment
Company. None of the Borrower or any other Loan Party is (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled”
by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or (ii) subject to any other Applicable
Law which purports to regulate or restrict its ability to borrow money or obtain other extensions of credit or to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or to perform its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party.
(q) Margin
Stock. None of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities,

Property. Each of the Loan Parties and each other Subsidiary owns or has the right to use, under valid license agreements or otherwise,
all patents, licenses, franchises, trademarks, trademark rights, service marks, service mark rights, trade names, trade name rights,
trade secrets and copyrights (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) necessary to the conduct of its businesses, without
known conflict with any patent, license, franchise, trademark, trademark right, service mark, service mark right, trade secret, trade
name, copyright, or other proprietary right of any other Person. All such Intellectual Property is fully protected and/or duly and properly
registered, filed or issued in the appropriate office and jurisdictions for such registrations, filing or issuances. No material claim
has been asserted by any Person with respect to the use of any such Intellectual Property by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
other Subsidiary, or challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property. The use of such Intellectual
Property by the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, subject to
such claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any liabilities on the part of the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(t) Business.
As of the Agreement Date, the Parent, Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries are engaged in the business of the
ownership, development and management of retail or reasonably similar Property, together with other business activities incidental thereto.

(v) Accuracy
and Completeness of Information. All written information, reports and other papers and data (other than financial projections and
other forward looking statements and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) furnished to the Administrative Agent

throughout the periods involved, the financial position of the Persons involved as at the date thereof and the results of operations
for such periods (subject, as to interim statements, to changes resulting from normal year end audit adjustments and absence of full
footnote disclosure). All financial projections and other forward looking statements prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower, any other
Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that have been or may hereafter be made available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender were or
will be prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made available. No fact is
known to any Loan Party which has had, or may in the future have (so far as any Loan Party can reasonably foresee), a Material Adverse
Effect which has not been set forth in the financial statements referred to in Section 7.1.(j) or in such information, reports
or other papers or data or otherwise disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. No document furnished or written
statement made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of, or pursuant
to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will

principal of the Obligations which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other
than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Obligations due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall become
remedied or waived to the satisfaction of the Requisite Lenders, then by written notice to the Borrower, the Requisite Lenders may elect,
in the sole discretion of such Requisite Lenders, to rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences. The provisions of the preceding
sentence are intended merely to bind all of the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders, and
are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration
hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are satisfied.
101
Section 11.8. Performance by Administrative Agent.
If the Borrower or any other
Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may,
after notice to the Borrower, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower or such other
Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the
Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance
to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until
paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever
for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Section 11.9. Rights Cumulative.
(a) Generally.
The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, of the
Specified Derivatives Providers under the Specified Derivatives Contracts, and of the Specified Cash Management Banks under the Specified
Cash Management Agreements, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under
Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Specified Derivatives Providers
and the Specified Cash Management Banks may be selective and no failure or delay by any such Lender Party in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the
exercise of any other power or right.
(b) Enforcement
by Administrative Agent. 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 Article XI. for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall
not prohibit (i) 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, (ii) [reserved], (iii) any Specified
Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit under any Specified
Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement, as applicable, (iv) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance
with Section 13.3. (subject to the terms of Section 3.3.), or (v) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing
and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and
provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents, then (x) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Article XI. and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) of the preceding proviso and
subject to Section 3.3., any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to
it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.
102
ARTICLE XII THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 12.1. Appointment and Authorization.
Each Lender hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and
to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by
the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each
Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby
agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed
to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations
other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”,
“Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative
Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable
Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship
between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender, promptly
upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents
delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX. that the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly to
the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an
original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any other
Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered or otherwise
made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly
provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and
shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders
if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all
holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which
is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent
may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default
unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any
right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable,
all the Lenders.
103
Section 12.2. Administrative Agent as
Lender.
The Lender acting as Administrative
Agent shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender, a Specified Derivatives Provider or a Specified Cash Management Bank, as the
case may be, under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management Agreement,
as the case may be, as any other Lender, Specified Derivatives Provider or any Specified Cash Management Bank and may exercise the same
as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated, include the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent in each case in its individual capacity. Such Lender and its Affiliates
may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of,
serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate
thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers
or any Specified Cash Management Banks. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from
the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management Agreement,
or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers or any Specified Cash Management
Banks. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may
receive information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may
be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation
to provide such information to them.
Section 12.3. Approvals of Lenders.
All communications from the
Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent or approval (a) shall be given in the form
of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination,
consent or approval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected,
or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved and (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and
to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect
of the matter or issue to be resolved. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects
to the requested determination, consent or approval (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection)
within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan
Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved such requested determination,
consent or approval. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any amendment, waiver or consent regarding any of the matters
described in Section 13.6.(b).
104
Section 12.4. Notice of Events of Default.
The Administrative Agent
shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has
received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event
of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving
as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such
a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to the
Administrative Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents. Further, if the
Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the
Lenders.
Section 12.5. Administrative Agent’s Reliance.
Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent nor
any of their respective Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly
set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent may consult with legal counsel (including
its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it
and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent nor any of their respective Related Parties:
(a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person
for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance
or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions
precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or
records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto
or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender
Parties in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations
or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered
in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting
upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed
by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent and/or the Sustainability Structuring
Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible
for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct
in the selection of such agent or attorney-in-fact as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.
Each Lender also acknowledges and agrees that (a) none of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any
Arranger, acting in such capacities have made any assurances as to (i) whether the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents meets such Lender’s criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance,
and (ii) whether any characteristics of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the characteristics of the relevant
key performance indicators to be determined in connection with any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin, including the Borrower’s
environmental and sustainability criteria, meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities and (b) each
such Lender has performed its own independent investigation and analysis of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and whether this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents meet such Lender’s criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and/or sustainability
performance.
105
Section 12.6. Indemnification of Administrative
Agent.
Each Lender agrees to indemnify
the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so)
pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to
or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative
Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender
shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, further,
that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder)
shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting
the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable reimbursement
is sought) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred
by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under,
the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect
any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any
claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses
(including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion
that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent
that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of
the Loans and all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for
any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant
to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.
106
Section 12.7. Lender Credit Decision,
Etc.
Each of the Lenders expressly
acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties
to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any
other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative
Agent to any Lender. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender
or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower,
the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of
the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents,
the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as
it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review,
advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking
action under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance
by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect
the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for
notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender
with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness
of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any
of its Related Parties. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender.
107
Section 12.8. Successor Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent
may (a) resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and
the Borrower or (b) be removed as administrative agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lenders then acting as Administrative
Agent) and, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower upon 30 days’ prior written notice if the Administrative
Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or
willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject
of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any
action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall,
provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates
as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after (a) the resigning Administrative Agent’s
giving of notice of resignation or (b) the Lenders’ giving of notice of removal, then the resigning or removed Administrative
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing
to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee (but in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting
Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders
that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with
such applicable notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative
Agent shall instead be made to each Lender directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided
for above in this Section; provided, further that such Lenders so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected
by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender were
itself the Administrative Agent. 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 current Administrative Agent, and the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions
of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative
Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights
and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.
108
Section 12.9. Arrangers and Titled Agents.
The Arrangers, the Syndication
Agents and the Sustainability Structuring Agent, in such capacity, assume no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without
limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles
given to the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents and the Sustainability Structuring Agent are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility
on the part of any Arranger, any Syndication Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the
Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on any Arranger, any Syndication Agent or the Sustainability
Structuring Agent any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle any Arranger, any Syndication Agent or
the Sustainability Structuring Agent to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.
Section 12.10. Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified
Cash Management Agreements.
No Specified Cash Management
Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 11.5. by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan
Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly
provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Cash Management
Agreements and Specified Derivatives Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Specified Cash Management
Agreements and Specified Derivatives Contracts, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request,
from the applicable Specified Cash Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be.
Section 12.11. Certain ERISA Matters.
(a) Each
Lender (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, the Arrangers, and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or
any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i) such
Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit
Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans;
(ii) the
transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent
qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts),
PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption
for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined
by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and
performance of the Loans and this Agreement;
109
(iii) (A) such
Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE
84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate
in, administer and perform the Loans and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance
of the Loans and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and
(D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with
respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans and this Agreement; or
(iv) such
other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and
such Lender.
(b) In
addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or
(2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with 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, the Arrangers, and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt,
to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor any of their
respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation
in, administration of and performance of the Loans and this Agreement (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 hereto or thereto).
Section 12.12. Release of Guarantors.
Each of the Lenders hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, release the Guarantor from its Guaranty as, if and when required
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
110
Section 12.13. Erroneous Payments.
(a) Each
Lender and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) the Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall
be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or any other Person that has received funds from the Administrative Agent or any of
its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that
the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted
to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any
Payment Recipient receives any 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, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or
any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied
by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment,
prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in
error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts
specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 12.13.(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of
principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then,
in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment;
provided that nothing in this Section shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses
(i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and
hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by
the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge
for value” or any similar doctrine.
(b) Without
limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.
(c) In
the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative
Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and upon demand
from the Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment
on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount
of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received,
together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received
by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and
a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time
in effect.
111
(d) In
the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate
of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then
at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and upon the Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such
Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of the full face amount of the portion of its Loans with respect to which such
Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) to the Administrative
Agent or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate in an amount that
is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment
of the Loans of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued
and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by the Administrative
Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The parties hereto acknowledge
and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or
other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall
govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 13.5. and (3) the Administrative Agent may reflect
such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.
(e) Each
party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient
that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to
all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all
amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative
Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.13. or
under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not
for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations
owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect
to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other
Loan Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way
or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited,
and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment
or satisfaction had never been received.
(f) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 12.13. shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or
any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations
(or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
(g) Nothing
in this Section 12.13. will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of the Administrative Agent hereunder arising from any Payment
Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

been given by a Person authorized to deliver such notice or for otherwise acting in good faith hereunder. Failure of a Person designated
to get a copy of a notice to receive such copy shall not affect the validity of notice properly given to another Person.
Section 13.2. Expenses.
The Borrower agrees (a) to
pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including due
diligence expenses and reasonable travel expenses related to closing), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and, if necessary, of local counsel for
the Administrative Agent in each relevant jurisdiction and all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the
use of a Platform in connection with the Loan Documents and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent
relating to all such activities, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the
Lenders for all their reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement or preservation
of any rights or remedies under the 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
the reasonable fees and disbursements of each of their respective counsel and any payments in indemnification or otherwise payable by
the Lenders to the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, and (c) to the extent
not already covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the fees and disbursements of counsel (subject to the same
limitations set forth in the proviso to clause (b) above) to the Administrative Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent and any
Lender incurred in connection with the representation of the Administrative Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent or such Lender in
any matter relating to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f),
including, without limitation (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation,
execution and delivery of any document relating to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any debtor-in-possession
financing or any plan of reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by the Borrower, such Loan Party, the
Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding
or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding. If the Borrower shall fail to pay any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant
to this Section, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts on behalf of the Borrower and such amounts shall be
deemed to be Obligations owing hereunder. This Section 13.2. shall not apply to Taxes.
114
Section 13.3. Setoff.
Subject to Section 3.3.
and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Borrower
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and each Participant,
at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice
being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior
written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits
(general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured)
and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent
or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations,
irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become,
due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2., and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Section, if 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 3.9. 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) such 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.
Section 13.4. Litigation; Jurisdiction;
Other Matters; Waivers.
(a) EACH
PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS
WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST
ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE
WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE
LOAN DOCUMENTS.
115
(b) THE
BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING
OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT,
ANY LENDER, OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION,
LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION
OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED
BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE
HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY
OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY
OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION
OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS
SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT
BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.
(c) EACH
OF THE PARENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN,
AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED
TO THE PARENT OR THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN. SHOULD THE PARENT OR THE BORROWER FAIL TO APPEAR OR ANSWER
ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS SO SERVED WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE MAILING THEREOF, THE PARENT OR THE BORROWER SHALL
BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT AND AN ORDER AND/OR JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED AGAINST IT AS DEMANDED OR PRAYED FOR IN SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT,
PROCESS OR PAPERS.
116
(d) THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL
CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 13.5. Successors and Assigns.
(a) Successors
and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an
Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security
interest subject to the restrictions of the immediately following subsection (e) (and, subject to the last sentence of the immediately
following subsection (b), any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason
of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments
by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject
to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum
Amounts.
(A) in
the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender’s Loans at the time owing to it, or in the case
of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
117
(B) in
any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the principal outstanding balance of the Loan subject to 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 $1,000,000 in
the case of any assignment in respect of a Loan, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default
shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however,
that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender would be less
than $1,000,000, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Loans at the time owing to it.
(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 Loan assigned.
(iii) Required
Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection
(b) and, in addition:
(A) the
consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event
of Default exists at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written
notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further,
that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the facilities evidenced under this Agreement;
and
(B) the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect
of a Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
(iv) Assignment
and Acceptance; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 (or $7,500 in the event that such transferor Lender is a Defaulting Lender)
for each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not
a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee,
upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements
so that new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.
(v) No
Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates
or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).
118
(vi) No
Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or
trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).
(vii) 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but
not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay
and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder
(and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with
its Pro Rata Share. 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 the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of
an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall
cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4., 13.2. and 13.9. and the other provisions
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 13.10. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior
to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties,
no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender
having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply
with this paragraph 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 the immediately following subsection (d).
(c) Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal 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 principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable
time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
119
(d) Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural Person, a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit
of, a natural Person, any Person that is a Defaulting Lender, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries)
(each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of 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 Borrower, 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. 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 (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal
on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon (other than a waiver
of default interest and changes in the calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio that may indirectly affect pricing) or (z) release
all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their Obligations under the Guaranty except as contemplated by Section 8.12.(b),
in each case, as applicable to that portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations that are subject to the participation. The
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4. (subject to the requirements and
limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10.(g) (it being understood that the documentation required
under Section 3.10.(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired
its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to
be subject to the provisions of Section 5.6. 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 5.1. or 3.10., with respect to any participation, than its participating
Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory
Change that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the
Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.6.
with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.3.
as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender.
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register
on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided
that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant
or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document)
to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan 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.
120
(e) 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.
(f) No
Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not
make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings
in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other
jurisdiction.
(g) USA
Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and Anti-Money
Laundering Laws, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender shall provide
to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary
for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.
Section 13.6. Amendments and Waivers.
(a) Generally.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or
any other Loan Document (other than any fee letter solely between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) to be given by the Lenders
may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance
by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document (other than
any fee letter solely between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default
or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but
only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders),
and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section, the Fee Letters may only be amended, and the performance or observance by any Loan
Party thereunder may only be waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto, as applicable.
121
(b) Affected
Lender Consents. Notwithstanding Section 13.6.(a), no amendment, waiver or consent shall:
(i) increase,
extend or reinstate commitments of a Lender (except as contemplated pursuant to Section 2.17.), or subject a Lender to any additional
obligations, in each case without the written consent of such Lender;
(ii) reduce
the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of interest that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of,
any Loans or other Obligations without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however,
only the written consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be required for (x) the waiver of interest payable at the Post-Default Rate,
retraction of the imposition of interest at the Post-Default Rate and amendment of the definition of “Post-Default Rate”,
or (y) changes to the calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio that may indirectly affect pricing or reduce any fee payable hereunder;
(iii) reduce
the amount of any Fees payable to a Lender without the written consent of such Lender;
(iv) [reserved];
(v) modify

interest on, any Loans or for the payment of Fees or any other Obligations owing to the Lenders, in each case, without the written consent
of each Lender;
(vi) [reserved];
(vii) modify
the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2., Section 3.3. or

to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof without the written consent of each Lender;

(xi) [Reserved];
(xii) release

it being understood and agreed that the consent of the Requisite
Lenders is not also necessary for the amendments approved by all affected Lenders pursuant to this clause (b).
(c) Amendment
of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent,
in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan Document that (i) diminishes
the rights of a Specified Derivatives Provider or a Specified Cash Management Bank in a manner or to an extent dissimilar to that affecting
the Lenders or (ii) increases the liabilities or obligations of a Specified Derivatives Provider or a Specified Cash Management
Bank shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the consent of the Lender that is (or having
an Affiliate that is) such Specified Derivatives Provider or such Specified Cash Management Bank, as applicable. 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 any waiver, amendment or modification requiring
the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected
Lenders shall require the written consent of such Defaulting Lender. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly
waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring
hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this
Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the
occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or
demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(d) Technical
Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.6., if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have
jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions
of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity,
omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders. Any such amendment
shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement, and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly make a copy of such amendment available to the Lenders.
123
(e) Replacement
Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.6., the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without
the consent of any Lender (but subject to the absence of objection by Requisite Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 5.9.),
enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents
as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or otherwise effectuate the
terms of Section 5.9. in accordance with the terms of Section 5.9.
(f) ESG
Adjustments.
(i) Prior
to the 12 month anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower, in consultation with the Sustainability Structuring Agent, may in its
sole discretion seek to establish additional specified key performance indicators with respect to certain environmental, social and governance
(“ESG”) goals of the Parent, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries (such indicators, “ESG KPI Metrics”)
and thresholds or targets with respect thereto (in either case, such thresholds or targets, “SPTs”). The Administrative
Agent and the Borrower (each acting reasonably and in consultation with the Sustainability Structuring Agent) may propose an amendment
to this Agreement (such amendment, an “ESG Amendment”) solely for the purpose of incorporating the ESG KPI Metrics,
the SPTs and other related provisions (the “ESG Pricing Provisions”) into this Agreement in connection with the Term
Loan Facility. Any such ESG Amendment shall become effective upon (i) receipt by the Lenders of a lender presentation in regard
to the ESG KPI Metrics and SPTs from the Borrower no later than five (5) Business Days before the proposed effective date of such
proposed ESG Amendment, (ii) the posting of such proposed ESG Amendment to all Lenders, (iii) the identification, and engagement
at the Borrower’s cost and expense, of a sustainability assurance provider, which shall be a qualified external reviewer of nationally
recognized standing, independent of the Parent, the Borrower and their Affiliates and (iv) the receipt by the Administrative Agent
of executed signature pages and consents to such ESG Amendment from the Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and Lenders
comprising at least the Requisite Lenders. Upon the effectiveness of any such ESG Amendment, based on the Borrower’s performance
against the ESG KPI Metrics and SPTs, certain adjustments (increase, decrease or no adjustment) (such adjustments, the “ESG
Applicable Rate Adjustments”) to the otherwise applicable Applicable Margin for the Term Loan Facility may be made; provided
that (x) the amount of any such adjustments made pursuant to an ESG Amendment shall not result in a decrease or an increase of more
than 0.050% in the Applicable Margin for the Term Loan Facility during any fiscal year, which pricing adjustments shall be applied in
accordance with the terms as further described in the ESG Pricing Provisions and (y) in no event shall any Applicable Margin be
less than zero (the provisions of this proviso, the “Sustainability Adjustment Limitations”). For the avoidance of
doubt, the ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments shall not be cumulative year-over-year and shall only apply until the date on which the next
adjustment is due to take place. The ESG KPI Metrics, the Borrower’s performance against the ESG KPI Metrics, and any related ESG
Applicable Rate Adjustments resulting therefrom, will be determined based on certain Borrower certificates, reports and other documents,
in each case, setting forth the ESG KPI Metrics in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles, including
with respect to the selection, setting, calculation, certification and measurement thereof. Following the effectiveness of an ESG Amendment,
any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions shall be subject only to the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Requisite Lenders so long as such modification does not have the effect of (1) increasing or decreasing the Sustainability Adjustment
Limitations set forth in the ESG Amendment or (2) reducing any Applicable Margin to less than zero.
124
(ii) The
Borrower, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that the Term Loan Facility (including
the Loans thereunder) is not, nor it shall be, a deemed sustainability-linked loan unless and until the effectiveness of any ESG Amendment.
Prior to the effectiveness of an ESG Amendment, the Borrower will not publish any materials or statements (including on any website of
the Borrower, in the financial statements or annual reports of the Borrower or in any press release or public announcement issued by
the Borrower) which refer to the Term Loan Facility under this Agreement being a sustainability-linked loan.
(iii) Other
than (i) increasing or decreasing the Sustainability Adjustment Limitations or (ii) reducing any Applicable Margin to less
than zero (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be subject to the written consent of “each Lender directly affected thereby”,
in accordance with Section 13.6.(b)), this Section 13.6.(f) shall supersede any other clause or provision in Section 13.6.
to the contrary, including any provision of Section 13.6.(b) requiring the consent of “each Lender directly affected
thereby”, for reductions in interest rates or fees payable thereunder.
(g) Amend
and Extend Transactions.
(i) The
Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an “Extension”)
of the maturity date of the Loans to the extended maturity date specified in such notice; provided that, an Extension may only
be requested to the extent that the Borrower shall have exercised its rights to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.14.
Such notice shall (A) set forth the amount of the Loans that will be subject to the Extension (which shall be in a minimum amount
of $50,000,000 and minimum increments of $25,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other amounts as may be acceptable to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent)) and (B) set forth the date on which such Extension is requested to become effective (which shall be not
less than fifteen (15) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such Extension notice (or such longer or shorter
periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)). Each Lender shall be offered (an “Extension Offer”)
an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender pursuant
to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. If the aggregate principal amount
of Loans in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount
of Loans subject to the Extension Offer as set forth in the Extension notice, then the Loans of Lenders shall be extended ratably up
to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.
125
(ii) The
following shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension: (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (B) the representations and warranties
made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and
correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation
or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such effective date of such Extension with the same force and effect
as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier
date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case
of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in
all respects) on and as of such earlier date), (C) [reserved] and (D) the terms of such Extended Loans
shall comply with subclause (iii) of this Section 13.6.(g). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, in no event shall the Loans of any Lender be extended pursuant to this Section 13.6.(g) unless such Lender affirmatively
accepts in writing the applicable Extension Offer, it being understood and agreed that a failure by a Lender to respond to any such Extension
Offer shall be deemed to be a rejection by such Lender of such Extension Offer.
(iii) The
terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment;
provided that (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Loan shall be no earlier than the latest maturity date then in
effect for the Loans, (B) the average life to maturity of the Extended Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining average life
to maturity of the existing Loans, (C) the Extended Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security
with the existing Loans and the borrower and guarantors of the Extended Loans, as applicable, shall be the same as the Borrower and Guarantors
with respect to the existing Loans, as applicable, (D) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and
premium applicable to any Extended Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders, (E) the Extended
Loans may participate on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or mandatory prepayments
with the other Loans and (F) the terms of the Extended Loans shall be substantially identical to the terms set forth herein (except
as set forth in sub-clauses (A) through (E) above).
(iv) In
connection with any Extension, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify
to evidence the Extension (including, without limitation, legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date). The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension. Any Extension Amendment may, without
the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate,
in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Extension, including any amendments
necessary to establish Extended Loans as a new tranche of Loans and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate
in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranche (including
to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended tranches), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 13.6.(g).
126
Section 13.7. Nonliability of Administrative Agent and
Lenders.
The relationship between
the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand,
shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender shall
have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no
course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative
Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. None of
the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review
or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations. 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), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the
arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length
commercial transactions between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other
hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate,
and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring
Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders 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 Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or
any other Person and (B) none of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender has
any obligation to the Borrower or any of its 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, the Sustainability Structuring Agent,
the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests
that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent,
the Arrangers and the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability
Structuring Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection
with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
127
Section 13.8. Confidentiality.
The Administrative Agent
and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to
its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ other 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);
(b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or proposed
assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential transfer of any Loan or participation therein as permitted hereunder,
or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower
and its obligations; (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process
or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as otherwise required by Applicable Law (in which case, the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent such disclosure is permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably practicable, inform the Borrower
promptly in advance thereof, to the extent reasonably practicable and, otherwise promptly thereafter); (d) to the Administrative
Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential
nature of the information); (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document (or any Specified Derivatives
Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document (or any Specified Derivatives
Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the extent such Information
(i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known by the Administrative Agent
or such Lender to be a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate
of the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower;
(g) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar
authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting
to have jurisdiction over it; (h) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily
found in such publications; (i) to any other party hereto; (j) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar
agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loan Documents; (k) for purposes of establishing
a “due diligence” defense; and (l) with the consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental
Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory
compliance policy of the Administrative Agent or such Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information
received from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior
to disclosure by the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate, provided that, in the case of any
such information received from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate after the date hereof, such
information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information
as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same
degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
128
Section 13.9. Indemnification.
(a) The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Sustainability Structuring Agent, each Lender and
each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Party”) against,
and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, and shall pay or reimburse any such Indemnified Party for, any and all losses, claims
(including without limitation, Environmental Claims), damages, liabilities and related expenses (including without limitation, the fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel for any Indemnified Party, incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified
Party by any Person (including the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary)) other than such Indemnified Party and its
Related Parties, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) 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 or thereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any
Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials
on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, or any Environmental Claim related
in any way to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation
or proceeding (an “Indemnity Proceeding”) relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other Subsidiary, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, or (v) any claim (including without
limitation, any Environmental Claims), investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent or any
Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultant’s fees; provided, however, that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses
are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party to its Affiliates.
(b) If
and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby
agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.
(c) The
Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any of the other obligations set
forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.
(d) This
Section 13.9. shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising
from any non-Tax claim.
References in this Section 13.9. to “Lender”
or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified Derivatives Providers
and Specified Cash Management Banks, as applicable.
129
Section 13.10. Termination; Survival.
This Agreement shall terminate
at such time as (a) [Reserved], (b) [Reserved], (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this
Agreement to make any Loans and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence)
have been paid and satisfied in full. The indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions
of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4., 12.6., 13.2. and 13.9. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the
provisions of Section 13.4., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
(i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination
as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters
and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.
Section 13.11. Severability of Provisions.
If any provision of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision
shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain
in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan Documents.
Section 13.12. GOVERNING LAW.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN
SUCH STATE.

To facilitate execution,
this Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts as may be convenient
or required (which may be effectively delivered by facsimile, in portable document format (“PDF”) or other similar
electronic means). It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons
required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not
be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures
of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.

and Subsidiaries.
The obligations of the Borrower
to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries as specified herein shall be absolute
and not subject to any defense the Borrower may have that the Borrower does not control such Loan Parties or Subsidiaries.
130
Section 13.15. Independence of Covenants.
All covenants hereunder shall
be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants,
the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
Section 13.16. Limitation of Liability.
None of the Administrative
Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives,

suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
Section 13.17. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations,
and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied
by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. To the extent any term of
this Agreement is inconsistent with a term of any other Loan Document to which the parties of this Agreement are party, the term of this
Agreement shall control to the extent of such inconsistency. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.
Section 13.18. Construction.
The Administrative Agent,
the Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded
an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Administrative Agent the Borrower and each Lender.
Section 13.19. Headings.
The paragraph and section
headings in this Agreement are provided for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its construction or interpretation.
Section 13.20. Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of
Affected Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto
acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is
unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to,
and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
131
(a) the
application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder
which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b) the
effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction
in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution,
its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other
instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document; or
(iii) the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution
Authority.
Section 13.21. Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported
QFCs.
To the extent that the Loan
Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Specified Derivatives 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):
(a) 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.
132
(b) As
used in this Section 13.21., the following terms have the following meanings:

(B) “Covered
Entity” means any of the following:
(I) a
“covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b);

“covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or
(III) a

Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81,
47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12.
U.S.C 5390(c)(8)(D).

(a) Existing
Credit Agreement. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Agreement, this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall exclusively control and govern the mutual rights and obligations of the parties hereto with respect
to the Existing Credit Agreement, and the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded in all respects, in each case, on a prospective
basis only.
(b) NO
NOVATION. THE PARTIES HERETO HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT SOLELY TO AMEND AND RESTATE THE TERMS OF, AND THE OBLIGATIONS OWING
UNDER, THE EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES DO NOT INTEND THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY TO BE, AND THIS

in accordance with the applicable security procedures therefor, shall be deemed delivered to the Administrative Agent in the form
required by this Agreement and shall be deemed delivered to the Administrative Agent on the date and time such Notice of Borrowing

security procedures therefor. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower. Prior to
delivering a Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower may (without specifying whether a Revolving Loan will be a Base Rate Loan, a Term
SOFR Loan or a Daily Simple SOFR Loan) request that the Administrative Agent provide the Borrower with the most recent Adjusted
Daily Simple SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR Rate available to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall provide such
quoted rate to the Borrower on the date of such request or as soon as possible thereafter.
51
(c)
Funding of Revolving Loans. Promptly (but in any event, not later than 12:00 p.m. Central Time on the date of such proposed
borrowing of Revolving Loans in the case of Base Rate Loans and Daily Simple SOFR Loans) after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under
the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each
Revolving Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower with the Administrative
Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. Central Time on the date of such proposed
borrowing of Revolving Loans in the case of Base Rate Loans and Daily Simple SOFR Loans and not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time
on the date of such proposed borrowing of Revolving Loans for Term SOFR Loans. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set
forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower in the account specified in the Disbursement Instruction
Agreement, not later than 3:00 p.m. Central time on the date of the requested borrowing of Revolving Loans for Base Rate Loans and
Daily Simple SOFR Loans and 2:00 p.m. Central time on the date of the requested borrowing of Revolving Loans for Term SOFR Loans,
the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term
SOFR Loan, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d) Assumptions
Regarding Funding by Revolving Lenders. With respect to Revolving Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative
Agent a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the
amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Lender. In such event, if such Lender does not make available to the
Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Loan, then such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Revolving Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such Revolving Loan is made available to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in
the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, 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 and (ii) in the case of a payment
to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay the amount of
such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the
Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays to the Administrative Agent the
amount of such Revolving Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the borrowing. Any
payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Revolving Lender that shall have
failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender.
52
(e) Reallocations
on Effective Date. Each of the parties to this Agreement agree that, simultaneously with the effectiveness of this Agreement, the
“Revolving Commitments” of each of the “Revolving Lenders” under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior
to the Effective Date, shall be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders so that the Revolving Commitments are held by the Revolving Lenders
as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. To effect such reallocations each Revolving Lender who either had no “Revolving Commitment”
under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement or whose Revolving Commitment upon the effectiveness
of this Agreement exceeds its “Revolving Commitment” under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness
of this Agreement (each an “Assignee Revolving Lender”) shall be deemed to have purchased all right, title and interest
in, and all obligations in respect of, the “Revolving Commitments” from the “Revolving Lenders” under the Existing
Credit Agreement who will not have a Revolving Commitment on and as of the Effective Date or whose Revolving Commitments upon the effectiveness
of this Agreement are less than their respective “Revolving Commitment” under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior
to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each an “Assignor Revolving Lender”), so that the Revolving Commitments of
the Revolving Lenders will be held by the Revolving Lenders as set forth on Schedule I. Such purchases shall be deemed to have been effected
by way of, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an Assignment and Assumption without the payment of any related assignment fee,
and, except for Revolving Notes to be provided to the Assignor Revolving Lenders and Assignee Revolving Lenders in the principal amount
of their respective Revolving Commitments, and subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.5.(c),
no other documents or instruments shall be, or shall be required to be, executed in connection with such assignments (all of which are
hereby waived). The Assignor Revolving Lenders, the Assignee Revolving Lenders and the other Revolving Lenders shall make such cash settlements
among themselves, through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct (after giving effect to the making of any Revolving
Loans to be made on the Effective Date and any netting transactions effected by the Administrative Agent) with respect to such reallocations
and assignments so that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans shall be held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata
in accordance with the amount of the Revolving Commitments set forth on Schedule I.
Section 2.2. Tranche A Term
Loans.
(a) Tranche
A Term Loan Facility. The Tranche A Term Loan Lenders made Tranche A Term Loans to the Borrower under the Existing Credit
Agreement (such Tranche A Term Loans being referred to as “Term Loans” under the Existing Credit Agreement) (such
Tranche A Term Loan facility, the “Tranche A Term Loan Facility”). The Borrower hereby agrees and acknowledges
that as of the Effective Date, the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche A Term Loans is $200,000,000 and shall continue
hereunder and for all purposes hereunder constitute and be referred to as the Tranche A Term Loans hereunder, without constituting a
novation, but in all cases subject to the terms and conditions applicable to Tranche A Term Loans hereunder. The Borrower and the
Lenders acknowledge and agree that the principal amount of such Tranche A Term Loan held by each Tranche A Term Loan Lender as of
the Effective Date is set forth on Schedule I opposite the name of such Tranche A Term Loan Lender. Once repaid, the principal
amount of the Tranche A Term Loans (or portion thereof) may not be reborrowed.
53
(b) Reallocations
on Effective Date. Each of the parties to this Agreement agree that, simultaneously with the effectiveness of this Agreement, the
principal amount of all outstanding “Term Loans” of each of the “Term Loan Lenders” under the Existing Credit
Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Date, shall be reallocated among the Tranche A Term Loan Lenders so that the Tranche A Term
Loans are held by the Tranche A Term Loan Lenders as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. To effect such reallocations each Tranche
A Term Loan Lender who either was not a “Term Loan Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness
of this Agreement or whose outstanding principal amount of its Tranche A Term Loan upon the effectiveness of this Agreement exceeds the
outstanding principal amount of its “Term Loan” under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness
of this Agreement (each an “Assignee Tranche A Term Loan Lender”) shall be deemed to have purchased all right, title
and interest in, and all obligations in respect of, the “Term Loans” from the “Term Loan Lenders” under the Existing
Credit Agreement who will not have a Tranche A Term Loan on and as of the Effective Date or whose Tranche A Term Loan upon the effectiveness
of this Agreement is less than their respective “Term Loans” under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the
effectiveness of this Agreement (each an “Assignor Tranche A Term Loan Lender”), so that the Tranche A Term Loans of
the Tranche A Term Loan Lenders will be held by the Tranche A Term Loan Lenders as set forth on Schedule I. Such purchases shall be deemed
to have been effected by way of, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an Assignment and Assumption without the payment of any related
assignment fee, and, except for Tranche A Term Loan Notes to be provided to the Assignor Tranche A Term Loan Lenders and Assignee Tranche
A Term Loan Lenders in the principal amount of their respective Tranche A Term Loans, and subject to acceptance and recording thereof
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.5.(c), no other documents or instruments shall be, or shall be required to be,
executed in connection with such assignments (all of which are hereby waived). The Assignor Tranche A Term Loan Lenders, the Assignee
Tranche A Term Loan Lenders and the other Tranche A Term Loan Lenders shall make such cash settlements among themselves, through the Administrative
Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct with respect to such reallocations and assignments so that the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of Tranche A Term Loans shall be held by the Tranche A Term Loan Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Tranche
A Term Loan Lender’s “Tranche A Term Loan Amount” set forth on Schedule I.

of Tranche B Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, during the Availability Period, each Tranche B Term Loan
Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Tranche B Term Loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower in the aggregate
principal amount up to, but not exceeding, the amount of such Lender’s Tranche B Term Loan Commitment (such available facility
and the Tranche B Term Loans under such facility, the “Tranche B Term Loan Facility”). There shall be no more
than four (4) separate borrowings of Tranche B Term Loans and each borrowing of Tranche B Term Loans shall be in an aggregate
minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $10,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that a borrowing of Tranche
B Term Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the remaining Tranche B Term Loan Commitments. Upon a Lender’s funding of its
Tranche B Term Loan, the Tranche B Term Loan Commitment of such Lender shall be permanently reduced by the principal amount of such
Tranche B Term Loan. Once repaid, the principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans (or portion thereof) may not be reborrowed. All
undrawn Tranche B Term Loan Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. Central time on the Availability Termination Date if not
previously terminated pursuant to this Agreement.
54
(b) Requests
for Tranche B Term Loans. Not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the proposed date for a borrowing of Tranche B Term Loans
that are to be Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans and not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time at least three (3) Business
Days prior to a borrowing of Tranche B Term Loans that are to be SOFR Loans, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice requesting
that the Tranche B Term Loan Lenders make the Tranche B Term Loans on the date of the proposed borrowing and specifying the aggregate
principal amount of Tranche B Term Loans to be borrowed, the Type of the Tranche B Term Loans, and if such Tranche B Term Loans are to
be Term SOFR Loans, the initial Interest Period for the Tranche B Term Loans. Such notice, if submitted through the Credit Management
Module of PNC Bank’s PINACLE® system in accordance with the applicable security procedures therefor, shall be deemed delivered
to the Administrative Agent in the form required by this Agreement and shall be deemed delivered to the Administrative Agent on the date
and time such notice was submitted through the Credit Management Module of PNC Bank’s PINACLE® system, in accordance with the
applicable security procedures therefor. Such notice shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower, and, if such Tranche
B Term Loans are to be Term SOFR Loans, shall include customary funding indemnification language. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify each Tranche B Term Loan Lender.
(c) Funding
of Tranche B Term Loans. Promptly (but in any event, not later than 12:00 p.m. Central Time on the date of such proposed
borrowing of Revolving Loans in the case of Base Rate Loans and Daily Simple SOFR Loans) after receipt of a notice under the
immediately preceding subsection (b), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Tranche B Term Loan Lender of the proposed
borrowing. Each Tranche B Term Loan Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Tranche B Term Loan to be made by such Tranche B
Term Loan Lender to the Borrower with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, not later
than 2:00 p.m. Central Time on the date of such proposed Tranche B Term Loans in the case of Base Rate Loans and Daily Simple
SOFR Loans and not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the date of such proposed Tranche B Term Loans for Term SOFR Loans.
Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower
in the account specified in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than 3:00 p.m. Central time on the date of the
requested borrowing of Tranche B Term Loans for Base Rate Loans and Daily Simple SOFR Loans and not later than 2:00
p.m. Central time on the on the date of the requested borrowing of Tranche B Term Loans for Term SOFR Loans, the proceeds of
such amounts received by the Administrative Agent. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term SOFR Loan,
then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
55
(d) Assumptions
Regarding Funding by Tranche B Term Loan Lenders. With respect to Tranche B Term Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Tranche B Term Loan Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative
Agent a Tranche B Term Loan to be made by such Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender will make the proceeds of such Tranche B Term Loan available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount
of such Tranche B Term Loan to be provided by such Lender. In such event, if such Lender does not make available to the Administrative
Agent the proceeds of such Tranche B Term Loan, then such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on
demand the amount of such Tranche B Term Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Tranche B Term Loan
is made available to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment
to be made by such Lender, 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 and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest
rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent
for the same or overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by
the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Tranche B Term Loan, the amount so paid
shall constitute such Lender’s Tranche B Term Loan included in the borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice
to any claim the Borrower may have against a Tranche B Term Loan Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Tranche
B Term Loan to be made by such Lender.
Section 2.4. Letters
of Credit.
(a) Letters
of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2.16., each Issuing Bank,
on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, agrees to issue for the account of the Borrower during the period from and including the Effective
Date to, but excluding, the date thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, one or more standby letters of credit (each
a “Letter of Credit”) denominated in Dollars up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding for
all Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement not to exceed $40,000,000, as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance
with the terms hereof (the “L/C Commitment Amount”); provided that no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue Letters
of Credit in an aggregate amount in excess of one-third of the L/C Commitment Amount. The parties agree that each Existing Letter of Credit
shall, from and after the Effective Date, be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement and shall be subject to and governed
by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
56
(b) Terms
of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance or amendment, the amount, form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit (or
amendment thereto as applicable), and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject to approval by the applicable
Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may (i) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit
extend beyond the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, or (ii) any Letter of Credit have an
initial duration in excess of one year; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for
the automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the applicable Issuing Bank but in no
event shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the earlier of
(x) the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date and (y) the date one year after the current
expiration date of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or
as the result of the effect of an automatic extension provision, have an expiration date of not more than one year beyond the
Revolving Termination Date (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as an “Extended Letter of Credit”), so
long as the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Revolving
Lenders no later than fifteen (15) days (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks)
prior to the Revolving Termination Date, Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account in an amount equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit; provided, that the obligations of the Borrower
under this Section in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall
remain in effect until no such Extended Letters of Credit remain outstanding. If the Borrower fails to provide Cash Collateral with
respect to any Extended Letter of Credit by the date fifteen (15) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, such failure shall
be treated as a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the maximum Stated Amount of such Letter of
Credit), which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with the immediately
following subsections (i) and (j), with the proceeds being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit. The
initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at least $50,000 (or such lesser amount as may be acceptable to the
applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower).
(c) Requests
for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the applicable Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent written
notice at least five (5) Business Days prior (or such shorter period as may be mutually agreed by the Borrower and the
applicable Issuing Banks) to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the
proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of
Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) initial Stated Amount,
(ii) beneficiary, and (iii) expiration date. The Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary applications and
agreements for standby letters of credit, and other forms as requested from time to time by the Issuing Banks. Provided the Borrower
has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and delivered such applications and agreements referred to
in the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2., the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the
requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary but in no event prior to the date five (5) Business
Days following the date after which the applicable Issuing Bank has received all of the items required to be delivered to it under
this subsection. No Issuing Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with,
or cause such Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to
“issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any
outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. Upon the written request of the Borrower, each Issuing Bank
shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank within a reasonable time after the date of
issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document (excluding any certificate or other document presented by a
beneficiary in connection with a drawing under such Letter of Credit) is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of
such Loan Document shall control. The Borrower shall examine the copy of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit
that is delivered to it by an Issuing Bank and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or
other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly (but in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the later of
(x) receipt by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit of the original of, or amendment or other modification to, such Letter
of Credit, as applicable and (y) receipt by the Borrower of a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or other modification,
as applicable) notify the applicable Issuing Bank. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against
an Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
57
(d) Reimbursement
Obligations. Upon receipt by an Issuing Bank from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank of any demand
for payment under such Letter of Credit and such Issuing Bank’s determination that such demand for payment complies with the requirements
of such Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by
such Issuing Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in respect
of such demand; provided, however, that an Issuing Bank’s failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not
discharge the Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation. The Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse each Issuing Bank for the amount of each demand for payment under each Letter of Credit issued
by such Issuing Bank at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without
presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. Upon receipt by an Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement
Obligation owing with respect to a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of the immediately
following subsection (i) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment.
(e) Manner
of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower shall
advise the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank whether or not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance
its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower shall
submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Borrower fails to so
advise the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank
for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, the failure of which such Issuing Bank shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article VI. would permit the making of
Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in
an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Administrative Agent shall give each Revolving Lender prompt notice
of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon Central time and
(ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this
Section shall apply. The limitations set forth in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any
borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.
58
(f) Effect
of Letters of Credit on Revolving Commitments. Upon the issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter
of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all
purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage and (ii) the
sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.
(g) Issuing
Banks’ Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. In examining documents
presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank
against such documents, the applicable Issuing Bank shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection
with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and
making payments under such letters of credit. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters
of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of
the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s obligations in
respect of Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness
or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing
honored under any Letter of Credit even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to
transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may
prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully
with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telex, telecopy, electronic mail or otherwise, whether or not they be in
cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any
document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication
by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any
consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. None of the above
shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of the Issuing Banks’ or Administrative Agent’s rights or powers hereunder.
Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing
Bank, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create against such Issuing Bank any liability to the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender. In this connection, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse each Issuing Bank for any
drawing made under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second
sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever,
including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit
Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the
Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any
time against an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any
unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between or among the Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter
of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection
therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of
a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by an Issuing Bank under any
Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this
Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s
Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 13.9., but not in
limitation of the Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse the Issuing Banks for any drawing made under a Letter of
Credit as provided in this Section and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately
preceding subsection (e), the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender
in respect of any liability incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender arising solely out of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section,
nothing in this Section shall affect any rights the Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.
59
(h) Amendments,
Etc. The issuance by an Issuing Bank of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit issued by such
Issuing Bank shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit
(including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent),
and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit
affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or
modified form or (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders, if any, required by Section 13.6. shall have
consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any,
payable under the last sentence of Section 3.5.(c).
(i) Revolving
Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon (i) the Effective Date with respect to all Existing Letters
of Credit and (ii) the issuance by an Issuing Bank of any other Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely,
irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and
participation to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the liability of the applicable Issuing Bank with
respect to such Letter of Credit and each Revolving Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary
obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to such Issuing Bank to pay and discharge when due, such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Issuing Bank’s liability under such Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Bank is not
reimbursed in full by the Borrower through a Base Rate Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition,
upon the making of each payment by a Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank in respect of any
Letter of Credit issued by it pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further
action on the part of an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to
such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the applicable Issuing Bank by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit
and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts
payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to such Issuing Bank pursuant to the
second and the last sentences of Section 3.5.(c)). Upon receipt by an Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement
Obligation, such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Revolving Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence
of this subsection (i), such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment.
(j) Payment
Obligation of Revolving Lenders. Each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand or upon notice in accordance with subsection (e) above in immediately available funds in
Dollars the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by such Issuing Bank under each
Letter of Credit issued by it to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding
subsection (d); provided, however, that in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that
any Revolving Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Revolving Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such
Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such drawing except as otherwise provided in Section 3.9.(d). If the notice
referenced in the second sentence of Section 2.4.(e) is received by a Revolving Lender not later than 11:00
a.m. Central time, then such Lender shall make such payment available to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00
p.m. Central time on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make
such payments to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, and the Administrative Agent’s right to receive the same for
the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by
any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make its payment
under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any
Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 11.1.(e) or (f), (iv) the
termination of the Revolving Commitments or (v) the delivery of Cash Collateral in respect of any Extended Letter of Credit.
Each such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement,
withholding or deduction whatsoever.
60
(k) Information
to Lenders. Promptly following any change in Letters of Credit outstanding, the applicable Issuing Bank shall provide to the Administrative
Agent, which shall promptly provide the same to each Revolving Lender and the Borrower, a notice describing the aggregate amount of all
Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank outstanding at such time. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent from time to time,
each Issuing Bank shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (or a Revolving Lender through
the Administrative Agent) with respect to such Letters of Credit that are the subject of such request. Other than as set forth in this
subsection, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters
regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of an Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to perform its requirements under
this subsection shall not relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligations under the immediately preceding subsection (j).
(l) Extended
Letters of Credit. Each Revolving Lender confirms that its obligations under the immediately preceding subsections (i) and (j) shall
be reinstated in full and apply if the delivery of any Cash Collateral in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection
with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise.
(m) Reporting
of Letter of Credit Information. At any time that an Issuing Bank is not also the financial institution acting as Administrative Agent,
then (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (ii) on each date that a Letter of Credit is amended, terminated or
otherwise expires, (iii) on each date that a Letter of Credit is issued or the expiry date of a Letter of Credit is extended, and
(iv) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a report setting forth
in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent information (including, without limitation, any reimbursement,
Cash Collateral, or termination in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued
by such Issuing Bank that is outstanding hereunder. No failure on the part of an Issuing Bank to provide such information pursuant to
this Section 2.4.(m) shall limit the obligations of the Borrower or any Revolving Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement
and participation obligations hereunder.
61
(n) Replacement and Resignation of an Issuing Bank.
(i) An
Issuing Bank may be replaced (including concurrently with the assignment of all of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of
any Lender then acting as an Issuing Bank hereunder) at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent,
the replaced Issuing Bank and any successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such
replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees
accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.5.(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 such successor Issuing Bank thereafter, (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, and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall, or any other Issuing
Bank may, issue letters of credit in substitution for all Letters of Credit issued by the replaced Issuing Bank outstanding at the
time of such succession (which letters of credit issued in substitutions shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder)
or make other arrangements satisfactory to the replaced Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the replaced Issuing
Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder or the assignment of all of the
Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of any Lender then acting as an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced or departing Issuing
Bank shall remain a party hereto (but only to extent the replaced or departing Issuing Bank still has Letters of Credit that will be
issued and outstanding) 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 for which there is no substituted Letter of
Credit, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(ii) Subject
to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, an Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced
in accordance with Section 2.4.(n)(i) above.
Section 2.5. [Reserved].
Section 2.6. Rates
and Payment of Interest on Loans.
(a) Rates.
The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall
be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:
(i) during
such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Base
Rate Loans applicable to such Loan;
(ii) during
such periods as such Loan is a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, at the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the
Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans applicable to such Loan; and
62
(iii) during
such periods as such Loan is a Term SOFR Loan, at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor, plus the
Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans applicable to such Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, while
an Event of Default under Section 11.1(a), 11.1(e) or 11.1(f) exists (and at the direction of the Requisite Lenders while
any other Event of Default exists) or after the Obligations have otherwise been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, interest
at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on
any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including
without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).
(b) Payment
of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) with respect
to any Base Rate Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing with the first full calendar
month occurring after the Effective Date, (ii) with respect to any Term SOFR Loan, the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto and, in the case of any Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of more than three months’ duration, each day prior to the
last day of such Interest Period that occurs at three months’ duration after the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) on
any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise).
Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Administrative Agent
of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) Borrower
Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates. The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations
and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other
information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently
determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent
restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate
or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest
rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall
pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days
of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this
Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s, any Issuing Bank’s, or any Lender’s
other rights under this Agreement.
63

There may be no more than ten (10) different Interest
Periods outstanding at the same time.

of Loans.
(a) Revolving
Loans. The Borrower promises to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Revolving
Loans on the Revolving Termination Date.
(b) Tranche
A Term Loans. The Borrower promises to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the

Subject to Section 5.4., the Borrower may prepay any Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior notice in the case of Base Rate Loans and Daily Simple SOFR Loans and three (3) Business
Days prior notice in the case of Term SOFR Loans (which notices may be by telecopy or electronic mail) of the prepayment of any Revolving
Loan or Term Loan which notice may be conditioned on the occurrence of refinancing thereof. Each voluntary prepayment of Loans shall be
in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of
$250,000 in excess thereof.
(b) Mandatory.
(i) Revolving
Commitment Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with the aggregate
amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately
upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders then holding Revolving Commitments (or if the Revolving Commitments
have been terminated, then holding outstanding Revolving Loans and/or Letter of Credit Liabilities), the amount of such excess.
(ii) Application
of Mandatory Prepayments. Amounts paid under the preceding subsection (b)(i) shall be applied to pay all amounts of
principal outstanding on the Revolving Loans and any Reimbursement Obligations pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. and if
any Letters of Credit are outstanding at such time, the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations. If the Borrower is required to pay any outstanding Term SOFR Loans by
reason of this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due
under Section 5.4.
64
(c) No
Effect on Derivatives Contracts. No repayment or prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section shall affect any of the Borrower’s
obligations under any Derivatives Contracts entered into with respect to the Loans.
Section 2.10. Continuation.
So long as no Default or
Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any Term SOFR Loan, elect to maintain such Term SOFR
Loan or any portion thereof as a Term SOFR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan. Each Continuation of a
Term SOFR Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of
$250,000 in excess of that amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of
the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the
Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the third (3rd) Business Day
prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or
other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such
Continuation, (b) the Term SOFR Loans and portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the
selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans
outstanding hereunder. A Notice of Continuation submitted through the Credit Management Module of PNC Bank’s PINACLE®
system, in accordance with the applicable security procedures therefor, shall be deemed delivered to the Administrative Agent in the
form required by this Agreement and shall be deemed delivered to the Administrative Agent on the date and time such Notice of
Continuation was submitted through the Credit Management Module of PNC Bank’s PINACLE® system, in accordance with the
applicable security procedures therefor. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.
Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Continuation.
If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan in accordance with this
Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a Term SOFR Loan with an
Interest Period of one month; provided, however that if a Default or Event of Default exists, such Loan will
automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first
sentence of Section 2.11. or the Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.
65
Section 2.11. Conversion.
The Borrower may on any
Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or
other similar form of communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however,
a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted into a SOFR Loan and a Daily Simple SOFR Loan may not be converted into a Term SOFR Loan if a
Default or Event of Default exists. Each Conversion of Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type shall be in an aggregate minimum
amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not
later than 1:00 p.m. Central time three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion. Promptly after
receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the
restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication
in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be
Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into
and (e) if such Conversion is into a Term SOFR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. A Notice of
Conversion submitted through the Credit Management Module of PNC Bank’s PINACLE® system, in accordance with the applicable
security procedures therefor, shall be deemed delivered to the Administrative Agent in the form required by this Agreement and shall
be deemed delivered to the Administrative Agent on the date and time such Notice of Conversion was submitted through the Credit
Management Module of PNC Bank’s PINACLE® system, in accordance with the applicable security procedures therefor. If the
Borrower shall elect a conversion to Term SOFR Loans but fails to select an Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan in accordance
with this Section, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. Each Notice of Conversion shall be
irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.
Section 2.12. Notes.
(a) Notes.
In the case of a Revolving Lender that has notified the Administrative Agent in writing that it elects to receive a Revolving Note, the
Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Revolving Note, payable to
such Revolving Lender (or its registered assigns) in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Commitment as originally
in effect and otherwise duly completed. In the case of a Tranche A Term Loan Lender that has notified the Administrative Agent in writing
that it elects to receive a new or replacement Tranche A Term Note, the Tranche A Term Loan made by such Tranche A Term Loan Lender shall,
in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Tranche A Term Note, payable to such Tranche A Term Loan Lender (or its registered
assigns) in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Tranche A Term Loan and otherwise duly completed. In the case of a Tranche B
Term Loan Lender that has notified the Administrative Agent in writing that it elects to receive a Tranche B Term Note, the Tranche B
Term Loan made by such Tranche B Term Loan Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Tranche B Term Note, payable
to such Tranche B Term Loan Lender (or its registered assigns) in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Tranche B Term Loan and
otherwise duly completed.
(b) Records.
The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to the
Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries
shall be binding on the Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that (i) the failure of a Lender to
make any such record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents and (ii) if there is a
discrepancy between such records of a Lender and the statements of accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 3.8., in the absence of manifest error, the statements of account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 3.8. shall be controlling.
66
(c) Lost,
Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender
has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii)(A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of indemnity
from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation
of such Note, the Borrower shall at its own expense execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Note.
Section 2.13. Voluntary Reductions of the Revolving
Commitment.
The Borrower shall
have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of the Revolving Commitments (for which purpose use of the Revolving
Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities) at any time and from time to time without
penalty or premium upon not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of each such termination
or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which in the case of any partial
reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall not be less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount
in the aggregate) and shall be irrevocable once given and effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent (“Commitment
Reduction Notice”); provided, however, a Commitment Reduction Notice may state that such notice is conditioned
upon the effectiveness of a refinancing of all outstanding Revolving Loans, in which case such Commitment Reduction Notice may be revoked
by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date of such Commitment Reduction Notice)
if such condition is not satisfied and provided, further the Borrower may not reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments
below $75,000,000 unless the Borrower is terminating the Revolving Commitments in full. Promptly after receipt of a Commitment Reduction
Notice the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed termination or Revolving Commitment reduction. Without limitation
of the provisions of Section 2.17., the Revolving Commitments, once reduced or terminated pursuant to this Section, may not be increased
or reinstated. The Borrower shall pay all interest and fees on the Revolving Loans accrued to the date of such reduction or termination
of the Revolving Commitments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders, including but not limited to any applicable
compensation due to each Revolving Lender in accordance with Section 5.4.
67
Section 2.14. Extensions.
(a) Extension
of Revolving Termination Date. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may elect
at least thirty (30) days but no more than ninety (90) days prior to the then applicable Revolving Termination Date, to extend the
Revolving Termination Date for a one-year period as provided in this Section 2.14.(a) by providing written notice of such
election to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each of the Lenders). If on the then applicable Revolving
Termination Date and on the date of delivery of the notice of such election (i) no Default or Event of Default exists and is
continuing, (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement are true and correct in all
material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or
warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such date (or, if such representation or warranty is expressly
stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date), (iii) the Borrower pays the fee due pursuant to
Section 3.5.(d)(i), and (iv) the Borrower has given written notice to the Administrative Agent of such election to extend
the Revolving Termination Date within the time frame set forth in this Section 2.14.(a), the Revolving Termination Date shall
be extended by one year.

elect at least thirty (30) days but no more than ninety (90) days prior to the then applicable Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date, to
extend the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date for a one-year period as provided in this Section 2.14.(b) by providing
written notice of such election to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify each of the Lenders). If on the then
applicable Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date and on the date of delivery of the notice of such election (i) no Default or Event
of Default exists and is continuing, (ii) the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement are
true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which
case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such date (or, if such representation
or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date), (iii) the Borrower pays the
fee due pursuant to Section 3.5.(d)(ii), and (iv) the Borrower has given written notice to the Administrative Agent of
such election to extend the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date within the time frame set forth in this Section 2.14.(b), the
Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date shall be extended by one year.
Section 2.15. Expiration Date of Letters of Credit
Past Revolving Commitment Termination.
If on the date the
Revolving Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise)
there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder and the aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit exceeds the balance of
available funds on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, then the Borrower shall, on such date, pay to the Administrative
Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account,
an amount of money equal to the amount of such excess.
Section 2.16. Amount Limitations.
Notwithstanding
any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender shall be required to make a Loan, no Issuing Bank shall be required
to issue a Letter of Credit and no reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.13. shall take effect, if immediately
after the making of such Loan, the issuance of such Letter of Credit or such reduction in the Revolving Commitments the aggregate principal
amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the aggregate
amount of the Revolving Commitments at such time.
68
Section 2.17. Incremental Facilities.
The Borrower shall have
the right to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or the making of incremental term loans
hereunder (“Incremental Term Loans”, and any such increase or Incremental Term Loans, an “Incremental
Facility”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however,
that after giving effect to any such Incremental Facility the aggregate amount of the sum of the Revolving Commitments plus
the principal amount of Term Loans (including any such Incremental Term Loans) shall not exceed $1,400,000,000. The allocation of
any increase between the Revolving Commitments and Incremental Term Loans shall be made at the time Borrower requests such increase.
Each such Incremental Facility must be an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess
thereof. The Arrangers, in consultation with the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such Incremental
Facilities, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other
institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such increase or Incremental Term Loans and the allocations thereof among
such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in
any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Commitment or provide a new Revolving Commitment or Incremental Term Loans, and any new
Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee and, if such
new Lender is assuming Revolving Commitments, must be subject to the consent of the Issuing Banks. If a new Lender becomes a party
to this Agreement, or if any existing Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a
Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase
from the other Lenders its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ respective Revolving
Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making
available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to (A) the
portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) the
aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Revolving Lenders under Section 2.4.(j) that have not been
repaid, plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount
of such Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Revolving Lenders under
Section 5.4. as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans. Revolving Loans made pursuant to any increased
Revolving Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Loans and
existing Term Loans, (ii) shall be equally and ratably secured with the Revolving Loans and existing Term Loans, (if
applicable), (iii) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, (x) shall not mature earlier than the existing Term Loans
and (y) shall have no amortization or otherwise be permitted to be prepaid prior to the Tranche A Term Loan Maturity Date or
the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date, and (iv) shall be treated substantially the same (and in any event not more favorably
than) the Revolving Loans and existing Term Loans. Effecting any Incremental Facility under this Section is subject to the
following conditions precedent: (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such
increase, (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and any other Loan Party in any Loan
Document to which such Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a
representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representation or warranty shall
be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase except to the extent that such representations and
warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and
correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse
Effect, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date),
and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or
Assistant Secretary of (A) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by the Borrower to authorize such
Incremental Facility and (B) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing
the guaranty of such Incremental Facility; (ii) a supplement to this Agreement executed by the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and any Lender providing such Incremental Facility, which supplement may include such amendments to this agreement as the
Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to implement such Incremental Facility contemplated by this
Section 2.17., together with the consent of the Guarantors thereto; (iii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the
Guarantors, and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent; and (iv) new or replacement Revolving Notes or term notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any
Lenders participating in such Incremental Facility, as applicable, in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Commitment or aggregate Incremental Term Loans at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility. In
connection with any Incremental Facility, any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as
the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any 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.
69
Section 2.18. Funds Transfer
Disbursements.
The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative
Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested
by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement.
ARTICLE III PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL
PROVISIONS
Section 3.1. Payments.
(a) Payments
by Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be
made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available
funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, except to the extent required by Applicable Law including Taxes required to be
withheld pursuant to Section 3.10., to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 1:00 p.m. Central
time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to
have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 11.5., the Borrower shall, at the time of making each
payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower
hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender
under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the
wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the
applicable Lending Office of such Lender. Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank under
this Agreement shall be paid to such Issuing Bank by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring
instructions provided by such Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Issuing Bank. In
the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, within one
(1) Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate
per annum equal to the Overnight Bank Funding Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such
extension.
70
(b) Presumptions
Regarding Payments by Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on
which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will
not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith
and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or an Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender or
such Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
Section 3.2. Pro Rata Treatment.
Except to the extent
otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Revolving Lenders under Sections 2.1.(a) and
Section 2.4.(e) shall be made from the Revolving Lenders, each payment of the fees under Section 3.5.(b), the first
sentence of Section 3.5.(c), and Section 3.5.(d)(i) shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders, and each
termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.13. shall be applied to the respective
Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments;
(b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders pro rata
in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them, provided that, subject to
Section 3.9., if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Loans the outstanding
principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective
Revolving Commitments in effect at the time such Revolving Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving
Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans being
held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with such respective Revolving Commitments; (c) the making of Tranche B
Term Loans under Section 2.3.(a) shall be made from the Tranche B Term Loan Lenders, and each payment of the fees under
Section 3.5(d)(ii) and Section 3.5.(e) shall be made for the account of the Tranche B Term Loan Lenders, pro
rata according to the amounts of their respective Tranche B Term Loan Commitments; (d) each payment or prepayment of principal
of Tranche A Term Loans shall be made for the account of the Tranche A Term Loan Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective
unpaid principal amounts of the Tranche A Term Loans held by them; (e) each payment or prepayment of principal of Tranche B
Term Loans shall be made for the account of the Tranche B Term Loan Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid
principal amounts of the Tranche B Term Loans held by them; (f) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans, Tranche A Term
Loans or Tranche B Term Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders, Tranche A Term Loan Lenders or Tranche B Term
Loan Lenders, as applicable, pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as
applicable, then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (g) the Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans, Tranche A
Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Sections 5.1.(c) and 5.5.)
shall be made pro rata among the Revolving Lenders, Tranche A Term Loan Lenders or Tranche B Term Loan Lenders, as applicable,
according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Loans, Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans, as applicable, and the
then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; and (h) the
Revolving Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.4., shall
be in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages.
71
Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments,
Etc.
If any Lender shall,
by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its
Loans or other Obligations owing to such Lender resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligation greater than the share thereof as provided in Section 3.2. or Section 11.5.,
as applicable, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase
(for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other Obligations owing to the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments
as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with Section 3.2.
or Section 11.5., as applicable; provided that:
(i) if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall
be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
72
(ii) the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the
application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 3.9.(e) or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration
for the assignment of, or sale of a participation in, any of its Loans or participations in Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant,
other than to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
The Borrower consents to the foregoing
and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 3.4. Several Obligations.
No Lender shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other
Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder
shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such
other Lender.
Section 3.5. Fees.
(a) Closing
Fee. On the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender all loan fees as have been agreed
to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(b) Facility
Fees. During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders a facility fee equal to the daily aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments
(whether or not utilized) multiplied by a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Facility Fee. Such fee shall be computed on a daily basis
and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the term of this Agreement
and on the Revolving Termination Date or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving Commitments or reduction of the Revolving Commitments
to zero.
(c) Letter
of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a letter of
credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans times the daily average Stated Amount of each Letter of
Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) to and including the date such
Letter of Credit expires or is cancelled or terminated or (y) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full;
provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while an Event of Default under Section 11.1.(a),
11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f) exists (and at the direction of the Requisite Lenders while any other Event of Default exists), such
letter of credit fees shall accrue at the Post-Default Rate. In addition to such fees, the Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank
solely for its own account, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank equal to a per annum rate
of 0.125% of the daily average Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such
Letter of Credit (x) to and including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is cancelled or (y) to but excluding the
date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full, as mutually agreed in writing between the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Bank; provided, however,
in no event shall the aggregate amount of such fee in respect of any Letter of Credit be less than $1,000. The fees provided for in
this subsection shall be nonrefundable and payable, in the case of the fee provided for in the first sentence, in arrears
(i) quarterly on the first day of January, April, July and October, (ii) on the Revolving Termination Date,
(iii) on the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero and (iv) thereafter from time to time on
demand of the Administrative Agent and in the case of the fee provided for in the second sentence, at the time of issuance of such
Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall pay directly to each Issuing Bank from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs
and expenses in the amounts customarily charged or incurred by such Issuing Bank from time to time in like circumstances with
respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or any other
transaction relating thereto.
73
(d) Extension Fees.
(i) If
the Borrower exercises its right to extend the Revolving Termination Date in accordance with Section 2.14.(a), the Borrower shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a fee equal to 0.125% of the amount of such Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Commitment (whether or not utilized) in effect on the effective date of such extension. Such fee shall be due and payable in
full on, and as a condition precedent to, the effective date of such extension.
(ii) If
the Borrower exercises its right to extend the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.14.(b), the Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche B Term Loan Lender a fee equal to 0.125% of the amount of such Tranche
B Term Loan Lender’s Term Loans outstanding on the effective date of such extension. Such fee shall be due and payable in full on,
and as a condition precedent to, the effective date of each extension.
(e) Term
Loan Ticking Fees. Commencing on the date which is ninety-one (91) days following the Effective Date and during the remainder of the
Availability Period, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders a facility ticking fee equal
to the sum of the daily amount of the Tranche B Term Loan Commitments available multiplied by a per annum rate equal to 0.20%. Such fee
shall be computed on a daily basis and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October that
occurs during the Availability Period (on or after the date that is ninety-one (91) days following the Effective Date) and on the Availability
Termination Date.
(f) Administrative
and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Administrative Agent as provided in the Fee Letters
and as may be otherwise agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
74
Section 3.6. Computations.
Unless otherwise
expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.
Section 3.7. Usury.
In no event shall
the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law
and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited
as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess
sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly
or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law. The
parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this
Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.6.(a)(i) through (iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees,
underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’
fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services
and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection
with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for
the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.
Section 3.8. Statements
of Account.
The Administrative
Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the
Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge
the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 3.9. Defaulting
Lenders.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Revolving
Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
75
(a) Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this
Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders and in Section 13.6.
(b) Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI. or otherwise) or received by
the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.3. shall be applied at such time or times as may be
determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to
the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender
to the Issuing Banks hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such
Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (e) below; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or
Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion
thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such
Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash
Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future
Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (e) below; sixth, to the payment of any
amounts owing to the Lenders, or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any
Lender or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations
under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the
Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as
a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting
Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of
the principal amount of any Loans or amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.4.(j) in respect of Letters
of Credit (such amounts “L/C Disbursements”), in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its
appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set
forth in Article VI. were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements
owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements
owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities
are held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without
giving effect to the immediately following subsection (d)) and all Term Loans are held by the Term Loan Lenders pro rata as if there
had been no Term Loan Lenders that are Defaulting Lenders. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a
Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this
subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents thereto.
76
(c) Certain Fees.
(i) No
Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.5.(b) or Section 3.5.(e) for any period
during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have
been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(ii) Each
Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.5.(c) for any period during which that Lender
is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for
which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e).
(iii) With
respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii), the
Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting
Lender pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d), (y) pay to each Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount of any such
Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting
Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.
(d) Reallocation
of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit
Liabilities shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages
(determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does
not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving
Commitment. Subject to Section 13.20., no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder
against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Revolving Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(e) Cash Collateral.
(i) If
the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower
shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting
Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.
(ii) At
any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the
Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such
Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately
preceding subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate
Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and outstanding at such
time.
77
(iii) The
Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the
Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to the
immediately following clause (iv). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or
claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash
Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Banks with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding
at such time, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional
Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting
Lender).
(iv) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit
shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit
Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the
Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(v) Cash
Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required
to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including
by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Revolving Lender), or (y) the determination by the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Banks that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately preceding subsection
(b), the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Banks may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that Cash Collateral shall be
held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash
Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan
Documents.
(f) Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Issuing Banks agree in writing that a Revolving Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified
in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral),
that Revolving Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take
such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause, as applicable (i) the Revolving Loans
and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their
respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d)) and
(ii) the Term Loans to be held by the Term Loan Lenders pro rata as if there had been no Term Loan Lenders that were Defaulting
Lenders, whereupon such Revolving Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made
retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Revolving Lender was a
Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, subject to Section 13.20., except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Revolving Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Revolving Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
78
(g) New
Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew
or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
(h) Purchase
of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by the Borrower
giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender
assign its Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(b). No
party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition,
any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or
a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13.5.(b). In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably
requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.5.(b), shall
pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $7,500; provided that the failure or unwillingness of such Defaulting
Lender to execute the Assignment and Assumption and other necessary documents shall not prevent or delay such assignment and the Assignment
and Assumption and other necessary documents shall be automatically deemed to be fully authorized and executed by the Defaulting Lender
if such Defaulting Lender does not promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment (and, if such Lender
fails to deliver any Notes held by it, such Notes shall automatically be deemed cancelled and such Lender shall be required to indemnify
the Borrower for any liabilities incurred by the Borrower by reason of the failure of such Lender to deliver such Notes). The exercise
by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense
to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders.
Section 3.10. Taxes.
(a) Issuing
Banks. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes each Issuing Bank and the term “Applicable Law”
includes FATCA.
(b) Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan
Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law
(as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax
from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or
withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be
increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and 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 such deduction or withholding been made.
79
(c) Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d) Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within thirty (30)
days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable
to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such
Recipient and 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 Borrower 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.
(e) Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for
(i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or another Loan Party has not already
indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the other Loan
Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.5.
relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that
are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such
Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount
due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection. The provisions of this subsection shall continue to inure to the benefit of an
Administrative Agent following its resignation or removal as Administrative Agent.
80
(f) Evidence
of Payments. Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, as soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes (excluding
for purposes of this Section 3.10.(f), taxes, assessments, fees and other charges paid by any Loan Party in the normal course
of operating its development and asset management business such as, for example, real property and personal property ad valorem
taxes, business licenses, sales tax, plat fees, zoning application fees, building permit fees and other municipal fees) by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.
(g) Status of Lenders.
(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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender
is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two
sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately
following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) 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 the Borrower is a U.S. Person:
(A) any
Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent),
an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any
successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
81
(B) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following
is applicable:
(I) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of,
U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article
of such tax treaty;
(II) an
electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;
(III) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank”
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described
in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an
electronic copy (or an original if requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable; or
(IV) to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9,
and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if such Foreign Lender is a partnership
and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender
may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect
partner;
82
(C) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such
number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under
this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an
electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable
Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine
the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if
a payment made to a Lender 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation
prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations
under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h) Treatment
of Certain Refunds. 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 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 subsection
(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 subsection, in no event
will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 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 subsection 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.
83
(i) Survival.
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.
Section 3.11. Sustainability Adjustments.
(a) Following
the date on which the Borrower provides a Sustainability Certificate in respect of the most recently ended Reference Year, the Applicable
Margin with respect to the Tranche A Term Loans shall be decreased (or not decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Rate
Adjustment as set forth in such Sustainability Certificate. For purposes of the foregoing, (A) the Sustainability Rate Adjustment
shall be determined as of the fifth Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Sustainability Certificate delivered
pursuant Section 3.11(f) based upon the KPI Metrics set forth in such Sustainability Certificate and the calculations of the
Sustainability Rate Adjustment therein (such day, the “Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”) and (B) each change
in the Applicable Margin for the Tranche A Term Loans resulting from a Sustainability Certificate (or the non-delivery or delivery of
an incomplete Sustainability Certificate) shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability
Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date (or, in the
case of non-delivery of a Sustainability Certificate, the last day such Sustainability Certificate could have been delivered pursuant
to the terms of Section 3.11(f)).
(b) For
the avoidance of doubt, only one Sustainability Certificate may be delivered in respect of any Reference Year. It is further understood
and agreed that the Applicable Margin with respect to the Tranche A Term Loans will never be reduced by more than 0.025%, pursuant to
the Sustainability Rate Adjustment during any Reference Year; provided that, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the definitions of Tenant SBT Percentage and the Sustainability Table may be amended or otherwise modified with the consent of the Borrower,
the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Tranche A Term Loan Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt,
any adjustment to the Applicable Margin for the Tranche A Term Loans by reference to any of the KPI Metrics in any year shall not be cumulative
year-over-year. Each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place.
(c) It
is hereby understood and agreed that if no such Sustainability Certificate is delivered by the Borrower, or any Sustainability Certificate
shall be incomplete and fail to include the KPI Metric for the applicable Reference Year, within the period set forth in Section 3.11(f),
the Sustainability Rate Adjustment with respect to the Tranche A Term Loans will be 0.00% commencing on the last day such Sustainability
Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 3.11(f) and continuing until the Borrower delivers a
Sustainability Certificate to the Administrative Agent for the applicable Reference Year.
84
(d) If
(i)(A) any Lender becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Rate Adjustment or the KPI Metrics as reported
in any Sustainability Certificate (any such material inaccuracy, a “Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy”) and
such Lender delivers, not later than ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, a written notice to the
Administrative Agent describing such Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail (which description shall be shared
with each Lender and the Borrower), or (B) the Borrower becomes aware of a Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy and the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall mutually agree that there was a Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of
delivery of any Sustainability Certificate, and (ii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment or the KPI
Metric would have resulted in no adjustment or an increase in the Applicable Margin for any applicable period, the Borrower shall be
obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Tranche A Term Loan Lenders promptly on demand by the
Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower
under any Debtor Relief Laws, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender), but in any event
within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower has received written notice of, or has agreed in writing that there was, a
Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest and fees that should have
been paid for such period over (2) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. It is understood and agreed
that any Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default or otherwise result in the failure
of any condition precedent to any advance or the issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, that, the Borrower complies with the
terms of this Section 3.11(d) with respect to such Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with
respect to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, (x) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to the
immediately preceding paragraph shall not be due and payable until the earlier to occur of (I) a written demand is made for
such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with such paragraph or (II) 10 Business Days after the Borrower has
received written notice of, or has agreed in writing that there was, a Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy (such date, the
“Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date”), (y) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to the
Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date shall not constitute a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise) and (z) none of such
additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date or shall accrue interest at the
Post-Default Rate prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date.
(e) Each
party hereto hereby agrees that neither the Sustainability Structuring Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall have any responsibility
for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Borrower of any Sustainability Rate
Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any Sustainability Certificate
(and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).
(f) As
soon as available and in any event within 120 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower (commencing with the fiscal
year ending 2024), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in form and detail satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders: a Sustainability Certificate for the most recently-ended Reference Year; provided,
that, for any Reference Year the Borrower may elect not to deliver a Sustainability Certificate, and such election shall not
constitute a Default or Event of Default (but such failure to so deliver a Sustainability Certificate by the end of such 120-day
period shall result in the Sustainability Rate Adjustment being applied as set forth in Section 3.11(c)). In the event the
Borrower’s fiscal year is changed to a non-calendar year fiscal year, the Borrower will be permitted to adjust the timing of
delivery of the Sustainability Certificate at its election in a manner intended to maintain consistency with the foregoing.

ARTICLE IV [RESERVED]
ARTICLE V
YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
Section 5.1. Additional
Costs; Capital Adequacy.
(a) Capital
Adequacy. If any Lender determines that any Regulatory Change affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity ratios or 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, to a level below that which
such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such
Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from
time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(b) Additional
Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection, the Borrower shall promptly, but in any event
within ten (10) days of the written demand therefor, pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of a
Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender or the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to compensate the Administrative
Agent or such Lender for any costs incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making
of, or maintaining, continuing or converting, any Loans or its obligation to make, maintain, continue or convert any Loans hereunder,
any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender or the Administrative Agent of capital or liquidity
in respect of its Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional
Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:
(i) Subjects
such Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to any Taxes in respect of any of such
Loans or its Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded
Taxes and Connection Income Taxes);
(ii) imposes
or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, liquidity insurance charge or similar requirements (other than Regulation
D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of
liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on SOFR Loans is determined
to the extent utilized when determining the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Loans) relating
to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any
other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without
limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or
86
(iii) imposes
on any Lender or the Administrative Agent or the applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting
this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender or the Administrative Agent.
(c) Lender’s
Suspension of SOFR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b),
if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified
level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest
rate on SOFR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that
includes SOFR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may
hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender
to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, SOFR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to
be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).
(d) Additional
Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but
without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter
issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes
described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes), reserve, special deposit,
capital adequacy, liquidity or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result
shall be to increase the cost to any Issuing Bank of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation
hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by any Issuing Bank or any Lender
hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the applicable Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay
immediately to such Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Lender, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time
to time as specified by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank
or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.
87
(e) Notification
and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, as the case may be,
agrees to notify the Borrower (and in the case of an Issuing Bank and or a Lender, to notify the Administrative Agent) of any event
occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to compensation under any of
the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations
hereunder; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this
Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or
such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions, and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the
Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender,
as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of an Issuing Bank or a Lender to the Administrative Agent as
well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the
Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent, any such Issuing
Bank and or any such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after
receipt thereof.
Section 5.2. Suspension of SOFR
Loans.
Subject to Section 5.9.
hereof and anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate
or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for any Interest Period:
(a) the
Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the
ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate;
(b) the
Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant
deposits referred to in the definition of Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate (or related definitions) are
not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for any SOFR Loans
as provided herein; or
(c) the
Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in
the definition of Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate (or related definitions) upon the basis of which the
rate of interest for any SOFR Loans is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining
such SOFR Loans;
then the Administrative Agent shall
give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no
obligation to, and shall not, make additional Term SOFR Loans and/or Daily Simple SOFR Loans, as applicable, Continue Term SOFR Loans
(if applicable) or Convert Loans into Term SOFR Loans and/or Daily Simple SOFR Loans and the Borrower shall, (1) on the last day
of each current Interest Period for any outstanding Term SOFR Loans or (2) immediately for any Daily Simple SOFR Loans, either prepay
such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.
88
Section 5.3. Illegality.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is
unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain SOFR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the
Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to
Convert Loans of any other Type into, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may
again make and maintain SOFR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).
Section 5.4. Compensation.
The Borrower shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as
the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense
attributable to:
(a) any
payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a Term SOFR Loan, or Conversion of a Term SOFR Loan, made by such Lender for
any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration or the exercise by the Borrower of its rights under Section 5.6.) on a date
other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b) any
failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified
in Section 6.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a Term SOFR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base
Rate Loan into a Term SOFR Loan or Continue a Term SOFR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.
Not in limitation of the foregoing,
such compensation shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that
would have accrued on such Term SOFR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such Term SOFR Loan, less
(B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same Term SOFR Loan for the same period if the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate were set
on the date on which such Term SOFR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert
or Continue such Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate quoted
on such date. Upon the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the
basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
Section 5.5. Treatment of Affected
Loans.
(a) If
the obligation of any Lender to make SOFR Loans of any Type or to Continue Term SOFR Loans, or to Convert Loans of any other Type
into, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2. or
Section 5.3. then such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans (1) in the
case of affected Daily Simple SOFR Loans, immediately or (2) in the case of affected Term SOFR Loans, on the last
day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by
Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3. on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, may specify to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable)) and, unless and until such Lender
or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1.,
Section 5.2. or Section 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(i) to
the extent that such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise
be applied to such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
89
(ii) all
affected Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as SOFR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate
Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into affected SOFR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
If such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable) that the circumstances specified
in Section 5.1.(c), 5.2. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans pursuant to this Section no
longer exist (which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist)
at a time when affected SOFR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically
Converted, (1) in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Loans, immediately and (2) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, on the first day(s) of
the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Term SOFR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect
thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding such SOFR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and
Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
The Lenders and
Administrative Agent may elect, if commercially reasonable and if permitted by Applicable Law, to Convert the Loans which are subject
to Conversion under this Article from SOFR Loans of the applicable Type to Base Rate Loans after the expiration of all Derivative
Contracts of which Administrative Agent has received written notice and copies that may affect such Loans subject to Conversion in order
to avoid any breakage fees or other costs or charges associated with a premature termination of such Derivatives Contracts.
Section 5.6. Affected Lenders.
If (a) a Lender
requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 5.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same or (b) the
obligation of any Lender to make SOFR Loans of any Type or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, SOFR Loans shall be
suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c) or 5.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended
under such Sections, and in the case of clause (a) or (b) such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different
Lending Office in accordance with Section 5.7., or (c) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then
the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, demand that
such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand such Lender shall promptly, assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.5.(b)),
all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.10. or Section 5.1. and
rights to indemnification under Section 13.9.) 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:
(i) the
Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 13.5.(b)(iv);
90
(ii) such
Lender shall have received payment of (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to such Lender, plus (y) the
aggregate amount of payments previously made by such Lender under Section 2.4.(j) that have not been repaid, plus (z) any
accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon
by such Lender and Eligible Assignee;
(iii) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.1. or payments required to be made pursuant
to Section 3.10., such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and
(v) in
the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the
applicable consent, approval, amendment or waiver.
The Affected Lender shall reasonably
cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute
all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate
Assignment and Assumption, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any
way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights
under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent,
the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation
to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant
to Sections 3.10. or 5.1.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.
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 Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
91
Section 5.7. Change
of Lending Office.
If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 5.1., or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.10., then such Lender shall (at the written request of
the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation
or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.10. or Section 5.1., as the case may
be, in the future, and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous
to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment.
Section 5.8. Assumptions
Concerning Funding of SOFR Loans.
Calculation of all
amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded the applicable SOFR Loans
through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such SOFR Loans in an amount equal
to the amount of the SOFR Loans and, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided,
however, that each Lender may fund each of its SOFR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used
only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.
Section 5.9. Benchmark
Replacement Setting.
(a) Benchmark Replacement.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment
shall become effective at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the
date the Administrative Agent posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative
Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the
Requisite Lenders.
(ii) No
Derivatives Contracts shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 5.9.
(b) Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative
Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any
other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of
any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
92
(c) Notices;
Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any
occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement,
(C) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph
(d) below and (E) the commencement 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, 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 5.9.
(d) Unavailability
of Tenor of Benchmark. 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 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 no longer be compliant
with, or the administration of such Benchmark fails to be aligned with, the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO)
Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any
similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-compliant or non-aligned
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 compliant with, or the administration of such Benchmark fails to be aligned with, the International Organization
of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent
may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after
such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e) Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower
may revoke any request for a Loan under the Term SOFR Rate option or the Daily Simple SOFR option, or conversion to or continuation of
Loans under the Term SOFR Rate option or the Daily Simple SOFR option, as applicable, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark
Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of or
conversion to Loans bearing interest under the Base Rate option. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor
for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of 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.

ARTICLE VII REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 7.1. Representations
and Warranties.
In order to induce
the Administrative Agent and each Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans and, in the case of the Issuing Banks, to issue
Letters of Credit, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender as follows:
(a) Organization;
Power; Qualification. Each of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership, limited
liability company or other legal entity, duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the jurisdiction of its
incorporation or formation, has the power and authority to own or lease its respective properties and to carry on its respective business
as now being and hereafter proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership
or other legal entity, and authorized to do business, in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its
business requires such qualification or authorization and where the failure to be so qualified or authorized could reasonably be expected
to have, in each instance, a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Parent, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Parent is an Affected
Financial Institution.
(b) Ownership
Structure. Part I of Schedule 7.1.(b) is, as of the Agreement Date, a complete and correct list of all Subsidiaries of
the Parent setting forth for each such Subsidiary, (i) the jurisdiction of organization of such Subsidiary, (ii) each
Person holding any Equity Interest in such Subsidiary, (iii) the nature of the Equity Interests held by each such Person,
(iv) the percentage of ownership of such Subsidiary represented by such Equity Interests and (v) whether such Person is
the Parent, the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor. As of the Agreement Date, except as disclosed in such Schedule, (A) each of
the Parent and its Subsidiaries owns, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens of the types described in clauses
(a) and (f) of the definition of “Permitted Liens” or, solely with respect to any Subsidiary that is an
obligor in respect of any Nonrecourse Indebtedness, a Lien in favor of the holder of such Nonrecourse Indebtedness to secure the
obligations thereunder), and has the unencumbered right to vote, all outstanding Equity Interests in each Person shown to be held by
it on such Schedule, (B) all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each such Person organized as a corporation is
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and (C) there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, commitments,
preemptive rights or agreements of any kind (including, without limitation, any stockholders’ or voting trust agreements) for
the issuance, sale, registration or voting of, or outstanding securities convertible into, any additional shares of capital stock of
any class, or partnership or other Equity Interests of any type in, any such Person. As of the Agreement Date, Part II of
Schedule 7.1.(b) correctly sets forth all Unconsolidated Affiliates of the Parent, including the correct legal name of such
Person, the type of legal entity which each such Person is, and all Equity Interests in such Person held directly or indirectly by
the Parent.
97
(c) Authorization
of Loan Documents and Borrowings. The Borrower has the right and power, and has taken all necessary action to authorize it, to borrow
and obtain other extensions of credit hereunder. The Borrower and each other Loan Party has the right and power, and has taken all necessary
action to authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party in accordance with their respective
terms and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party
is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of such Person and each is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with its respective terms, except as the same may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies
for the enforcement of certain obligations (other than the payment of principal) contained herein or therein and as may be limited by
equitable principles generally.
(d) Compliance
of Loan Documents with Laws. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any Loan
Party is a party in accordance with their respective terms and the borrowings and other extensions of credit hereunder do not and will
not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both: (i) require any Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law (including
all Environmental Laws) relating to the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute
a default under the organizational documents of any Loan Party, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower
or any other Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its respective properties may be bound; or (iii) result in or require
the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by any Loan Party other than
in favor of the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the other Lender Parties.
(e) Compliance
with Law; Governmental Approvals. Each of the Parent, Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries is in compliance
with each Governmental Approval and all other Applicable Laws relating to it except for noncompliances which, and Governmental Approvals
the failure to possess which, could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to cause a Default or Event of Default
or have a Material Adverse Effect.
(f) Title
to Properties; Liens. Part I of Schedule 7.1.(f) is, as of the Agreement Date, a complete and correct listing of all
real estate assets of the Borrower and each other Loan Party, setting forth, for each such Property, whether such property is an
Eligible Property or whether such Property is a Development Property. Each of the Borrower and each other Loan Party has good,
marketable and legal title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, each Property and any other asset included in the calculation of
Total Asset Value. No Eligible Property is subject to any Lien other than Permitted Liens and Liens set forth on Part II of
Schedule 7.1(f).
98
(g) Existing
Indebtedness. Schedule 7.1.(g) is, as of the Agreement Date, a complete and correct listing of all Indebtedness of each of the
Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries, and if such Indebtedness is secured by any Lien, a description of all of
the property subject to such Lien. As of the Agreement Date, the Parent, Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries have
performed and are in compliance with all of the terms of such Indebtedness and all instruments and agreements relating thereto, and no
default or event of default, or event or condition which with the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default
or event of default, exists with respect to any such Indebtedness.
(h) Litigation.
Except as set forth on Schedule 7.1.(h), there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending (or, to the actual knowledge of any Loan Party,
are there any actions, suits or proceedings threatened, nor is there any basis therefor) against or in any other way relating adversely
to or affecting the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any of their respective property in any court or before any
arbitrator of any kind or before or by any other Governmental Authority which, (i) could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect or (ii) in any manner draws into question the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document as determined by the
Administrative Agent.
(i) Taxes.
All federal, state and other tax returns of the Borrower, each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary required by Applicable Law to
be filed have been duly filed, and all federal, state and other taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or levies upon, each
Loan Party, each other Subsidiary and their respective properties, income, profits and assets which are due and payable thereunder have
been paid, except any such nonpayment or non-filing which (a) with respect to Taxes that are being contested by appropriate proceedings
and appropriate reserves have been taken in accordance with GAAP or (b) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. As of the Agreement Date, none of the United States income tax returns of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary
is under audit. All charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower, the Parent, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries
in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are in accordance with GAAP.
(j) Financial
Statements. The Borrower has furnished to each Lender copies of (i) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent
and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, and the related
audited consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates,
with the opinion thereon of KPMG LLP, and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its consolidated
Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2024 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the three fiscal quarter period ended
on such date. Such financial statements (including in each case related schedules and notes) are complete and correct in all
material respects and present fairly, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, the consolidated
financial position of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at their respective dates and the results of operations and
the cash flows for such periods (subject, as to interim statements, to changes resulting from normal year-end audit adjustments).
Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has on the Agreement Date any material contingent liabilities, liabilities,
liabilities for taxes, unusual or long-term commitments or unrealized or forward anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments
that would be required to be set forth in its financial statements or notes thereto, except as referred to or reflected or provided
for in said financial statements. Each of the operating summaries pertaining to each of the Eligible Properties delivered by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent fairly presents the Net Operating Income of each such Property for the period then ended.
99
(k) No
Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2023, there has been no event, change, circumstance or occurrence that could reasonably
be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Each of (i) the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken
as a whole and (ii) the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, are Solvent.
(l) [Reserved].
(m) ERISA.
(i) Each
Benefit Arrangement is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and other Applicable Laws in all
material respects. Except with respect to Multiemployer Plans, each Qualified Plan (A) has received a favorable determination from
the Internal Revenue Service applicable to such Qualified Plan’s current remedial amendment cycle (as defined in Revenue Procedure
2007-44 or “2007-44” for short), (B) has timely filed for a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service during its staggered remedial amendment cycle (as defined in 2007-44) and such application is currently being processed by the
Internal Revenue Service, (C) had filed for a determination letter prior to its “GUST remedial amendment period” (as
defined in 2007-44) and received such determination letter and the staggered remedial amendment cycle first following the GUST remedial
amendment period for such Qualified Plan has not yet expired, or (D) is maintained under a prototype plan and may rely upon a favorable
opinion letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to such prototype plan. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, nothing
has occurred which would cause the loss of its reliance on each Qualified Plan’s favorable determination letter or opinion letter.
(ii) With
respect to any Benefit Arrangement that is a retiree welfare benefit arrangement, all amounts have been accrued on the applicable
ERISA Group’s financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 715. The “benefit obligation” of all Plans does not
exceed the “fair market value of plan assets” for such Plans by more than $10,000,000 all as determined by and with such
terms defined in accordance with FASB ASC 715.
(iii) Except
as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) no ERISA Event has
occurred or is expected to occur; (ii) there are no pending, or to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, claims, actions
or lawsuits or other action by any Governmental Authority, plan participant or beneficiary with respect to a Benefit Arrangement; (iii) there
are no violations of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Benefit Arrangement; (iv) no
member of the ERISA Group has engaged in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction,” as defined in Section 406 of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, in connection with any Plan, that would subject any member of the ERISA Group to a tax
on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code; and (v) no
assessment or tax has arisen under Section 4980H of the Internal Revenue Code.
100
(iv) As of the
Effective Date, the Borrower is not and will not be using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as
modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans or the Commitments.
(n) Absence
of Default. None of the Loan Parties or any of the other Subsidiaries is in default under its certificate or articles of incorporation
or formation, bylaws, partnership agreement or other similar organizational documents, and no event has occurred, which has not been remedied,
cured or waived: (i) which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default; or (ii) which constitutes, or which with the passage
of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute, a default or event of default by, any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary under
any agreement (other than this Agreement) or judgment, decree or order to which any such Person is a party or by which any such Person
or any of its respective properties may be bound where such default or event of default could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(o) Environmental
Laws. Except as set forth in Schedule 7.1(o), each of the Borrower, each other Loan Party and the other Subsidiaries:
(i) is in compliance with all Environmental Laws applicable to its business, operations and the Properties, (ii) has
obtained all Governmental Approvals which are required under Environmental Laws for its business and operations, and each such
Governmental Approval is in full force and effect, and (iii) is in compliance with all terms and conditions of such
Governmental Approvals, where with respect to each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iii) the failure to
obtain or to comply with could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Except
for any of the following matters that could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, Material Adverse
Effect, no Loan Party has any knowledge of, or has received written notice of, any past, present, or pending releases, events,
conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents, facts, occurrences, actions, or plans that, with respect to any Loan
Party or any other Subsidiary, their respective businesses, operations or with respect to the Properties, is reasonably likely to:
(x) cause or contribute to an actual violation of or noncompliance with Environmental Laws, (y) cause or contribute to any
other common law or legal claim or other liability, or (z) cause any of the Properties to become subject to any restrictions on
ownership, occupancy, use or transferability under any Environmental Law or require the filing or recording of any notice, approval
or disclosure document under any Environmental Law and, with respect to the immediately preceding clauses (x) through
(z) is based on or related to the on-site or off-site manufacture, generation, processing, distribution, use, treatment,
storage, disposal, transport, removal clean up or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release of any wastes
or Hazardous Material, or any other requirement under Environmental Law. There is no Environmental Claim pending or, to the
Borrower’s knowledge, threatened, against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary relating in any way to
Environmental Laws which, reasonably could be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. To the
Borrower’s knowledge, none of the Properties is listed on or proposed for listing on the National Priorities List promulgated
pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and its implementing regulations,
except as could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. To the
Borrower’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials generated at or transported from the Properties by the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or any other Subsidiary are or have been transported to, or disposed of at, any location that is listed or proposed for
listing on the National Priority List or any analogous state or local priority list, or any other location that is or has been the
subject of a clean-up, removal or remedial action pursuant to any Environmental Law, except to the extent that such transportation
or disposal could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
101
(p) Investment
Company. None of the Borrower or any other Loan Party is (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled”
by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or (ii) subject to any other Applicable
Law which purports to regulate or restrict its ability to borrow money or obtain other extensions of credit or to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or to perform its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party.
(q) Margin
Stock. None of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities,

within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
(r) Affiliate

Loan Party or any other Subsidiary is a party to or bound by any agreement or arrangement with any Affiliate.
(s) Intellectual
Property. Each of the Loan Parties and each other Subsidiary owns or has the right to use, under valid license agreements or
otherwise, all patents, licenses, franchises, trademarks, trademark rights, service marks, service mark rights, trade names, trade
name rights, trade secrets and copyrights (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) necessary to the conduct of its
businesses, without known conflict with any patent, license, franchise, trademark, trademark right, service mark, service mark
right, trade secret, trade name, copyright, or other proprietary right of any other Person. All such Intellectual Property is fully
protected and/or duly and properly registered, filed or issued in the appropriate office and jurisdictions for such registrations,
filing or issuances. No material claim has been asserted by any Person with respect to the use of any such Intellectual Property by
the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, or challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any such
Intellectual Property. The use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries does
not infringe on the rights of any Person, subject to such claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any
liabilities on the part of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have,
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
102
(t) Business.
As of the Agreement Date, the Parent, Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries are engaged in the business of the ownership,
development and management of retail or reasonably similar Property, together with other business activities incidental thereto.
(u) Broker’s
Fees. No broker’s or finder’s fee, commission or similar compensation will be payable with respect to the transactions

the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary ancillary to the transactions contemplated hereby.
(v) Accuracy
and Completeness of Information. All written information, reports and other papers and data (other than financial projections and
other forward looking statements and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) furnished to the Administrative Agent
or any Lender by, on behalf of, or at the direction of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary were, at the time the
same were so furnished, complete and correct in all material respects, to the extent necessary to give the recipient a true and accurate
knowledge of the subject matter, or, in the case of financial statements, present fairly, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied
throughout the periods involved, the financial position of the Persons involved as at the date thereof and the results of operations for
such periods (subject, as to interim statements, to changes resulting from normal year end audit adjustments and absence of full footnote
disclosure). All financial projections and other forward looking statements prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other Subsidiary that have been or may hereafter be made available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender were or will be prepared
in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made available. No fact is known to any Loan
Party which has had, or may in the future have (so far as any Loan Party can reasonably foresee), a Material Adverse Effect which has
not been set forth in the financial statements referred to in Section 7.1.(j) or in such information, reports or other papers
or data or otherwise disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. No document furnished or written statement made
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of, or pursuant to, this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading. As of the Effective Date, all of the information
included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct.

promulgated thereunder. Assuming that no Lender funds (initially or through participation, assignment, transfer or securitization)
any amount payable by it hereunder with “plan assets,” as that term is defined in 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as
modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and
the extensions of credit and repayment of amounts hereunder, do not and will not constitute “prohibited transactions”
under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.
103
(x) Anti-Corruption Laws; Anti-Money Laundering Laws and Sanctions.

perform its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party.

or the Lenders, and without limitation of other remedies available to such Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management
Bank, as applicable, under contract or Applicable Law, to undertake any of the following: (a) in the case of a Specified Derivatives
Provider, to declare an event of default, termination event or other similar event under any Specified Derivatives Contract and to create
an “Early Termination Date” (as defined therein) in respect thereof, (b) in the case of a Specified Derivatives Provider,
to determine net termination amounts in respect of any and all Specified Derivatives Contracts in accordance with the terms thereof, and
to set off amounts among such contracts, (c) in the case of a Specified Derivatives Provider, to set off or proceed against deposit
account balances, securities account balances and other property and amounts held by such Specified Derivatives Provider and (d) to
prosecute any legal action against the Borrower, any Loan Party or other Subsidiary to enforce or collect net amounts owing to such Specified
Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank, as applicable, pursuant to any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash
Management Agreement, as applicable.
126
Section 11.3. Remedies Upon Default.
Upon the occurrence
of a Default specified in either Section 11.1.(e) or Section 11.1.(f), the Commitments and the obligation of the Issuing
Banks to issue Letters of Credit shall immediately and automatically terminate.
Section 11.4. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.
No Lender Party
shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any or all
of the Guaranteed Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to a Lender Party, or a Lender Party enforces
its security interest or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or
any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent
of such recovery, the Guaranteed Obligations, or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies
therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had
not occurred.
Section 11.5. Allocation of Proceeds.
If an Event of Default
exists, all payments received by the Administrative Agent (or any Lender as a result of its exercise of remedies permitted under Section 13.3.)
under any of the Loan Documents in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations shall be applied in the following order and priority:
(a) to
payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees,
payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, the Issuing Banks in their capacity as such, ratably among the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (a) payable to them;
(b) to
payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest)
payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause (b) payable to them;
(c) [reserved];
(d) to
payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations,
ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (d) payable to them;
(e) [reserved];
127
(f) to
payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, other Letter
of Credit Liabilities and payment obligations then owing under Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements,
ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Specified Derivatives Providers and the Specified Cash Management Banks in proportion
to the respective amounts described in this clause (f) payable to them; provided, however, to the extent that any amounts
available for distribution pursuant to this clause are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit,
such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account; and
(g) the
balance, if any, after all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required
by Applicable Law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guaranteed
Obligations arising under Specified Cash Management Agreements and Specified Derivatives Contracts shall be excluded from the application
described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the
Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Cash Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may
be. Each Specified Cash Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated
by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent
pursuant to the terms of Article XII. for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.
Section 11.6. Letter of Credit
Collateral Account.
(a) As
collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the other Obligations, the Borrower
hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the
Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account
and the balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided
for below). The balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit
Liabilities until applied by the Issuing Banks as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held
in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section.
(b) Amounts
on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such Cash Equivalents
as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name
of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Banks and the Lenders; provided, that all earnings on such investments will be credited to and retained in the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account. The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially
equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords other funds deposited with the Administrative Agent, it being understood that
the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with
respect to any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.
128
(c) If
a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders
authorize the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse the applicable
Issuing Bank for the payment made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing.
(d) If
an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Requisite Lenders, shall) in its (or their) discretion
at any time and from time to time elect to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations
in accordance with Section 11.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to liquidate and release
any such amounts if such liquidation or release would result in the amount available in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to be
less than the Stated Amount of all Extended Letters of Credit that remain outstanding.
(e) So
long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in or credited to the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing, the Administrative Agent shall, from time
to time, at the written request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s
receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount
of the credit balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such
time. Upon the expiration, termination or cancellation of an Extended Letter of Credit for which the Revolving Lenders reimbursed (or
funded participations in) a drawing deemed to have occurred under the fourth sentence of Section 2.4.(b) for deposit into the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account but in respect of which the Revolving Lenders have not otherwise received payment for the amount so
reimbursed or funded, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Revolving Lenders the amount so reimbursed or funded for such
Extended Letter of Credit that remains in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid reimbursements
or funded participations of the Lenders in respect of such Extended Letter of Credit, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty
or representation whatsoever. When all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding,
the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever,
the balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.
(f) The
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such fees as the Administrative Agent normally charges for similar services
in connection with the Administrative Agent’s administration of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments
of funds therein.
129
Section 11.7. Rescission of Acceleration by Requisite
Lenders.
If at any time after
acceleration of the maturity of the Loans and the other Obligations, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on
account of principal of the Obligations which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to
the extent permitted by Applicable Law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Defaults
(other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Obligations due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall
become remedied or waived to the satisfaction of the Requisite Lenders, then by written notice to the Borrower, the Requisite Lenders
may elect, in the sole discretion of such Requisite Lenders, to rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences. The provisions
of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind all of the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite
Lenders, and are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul
any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are satisfied.
Section 11.8. Performance by Administrative Agent.
If the Borrower
or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative
Agent may, after notice to the Borrower, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower or such
other Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request
of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted
performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure
until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility
whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Section 11.9. Rights Cumulative.
(a) Generally.
The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents, of the Specified Derivatives Providers under the Specified Derivatives Contracts, and of the Specified Cash Management Banks
under the Specified Cash Management Agreements, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may
otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the
Lenders, the Specified Derivatives Providers and the Specified Cash Management Banks may be selective and no failure or delay by any such
Lender Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude
its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.
(b) Enforcement
by Administrative Agent. 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 Article XI. for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; provided that
the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) 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, (ii) the Issuing Banks
from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in their capacity as an Issuing Bank) hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents, (iii) any Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank from exercising the rights and
remedies that inure to its benefit under any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement, as applicable, (iv) any
Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.3. (subject to the terms of Section 3.3.), or (v) any
Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to
any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (x) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Article XI. and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) of
the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.3., any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights
and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.
130
ARTICLE XII THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 12.1. Appointment and Authorization.
Each Lender hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and
to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by
the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each
Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby
agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed
to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations
other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”,
“Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative
Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable
Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship
between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender, promptly
upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents
delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX. that the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly to
the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an
original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any other
Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered or otherwise
made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly
provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and
shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders
if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all
holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which
is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent
may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default
unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any
right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable,
all the Lenders.
131
Section 12.2. Administrative
Agent as Lender.
The Lender acting
as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender, a Specified Derivatives Provider or a Specified Cash Management
Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management
Agreement, as the case may be, as any other Lender, Specified Derivatives Provider or any Specified Cash Management Bank and may exercise
the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated, include the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent in each case in its individual capacity. Such Lender and its
Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures
of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate
thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Issuing Banks, the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives
Providers or any Specified Cash Management Banks. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration
from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management
Agreement, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Issuing Banks, the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers
or any Specified Cash Management Banks. The Issuing Banks and the Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Lender acting
as the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and
other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that
the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
132
Section 12.3. Approvals of Lenders.
All communications
from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent or approval (a) shall be given
in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such
determination, consent or approval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue
may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved and (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by
such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower
in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically
objects to the requested determination, consent or approval (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such
objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms
of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved such requested determination,
consent or approval. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any amendment, waiver or consent regarding any of the matters
described in Section 13.6.(b).
Section 12.4. Notice of Events of Default.
The Administrative
Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent
has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also
serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent
such a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to
the Administrative Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents. Further, if
the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to
the Lenders.
133
Section 12.5. Administrative Agent’s Reliance.
Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent nor
any of their respective Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly
set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent may consult with legal counsel (including
its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it
and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent nor any of their respective Related Parties:
(a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender,
any Issuing Bank or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain
or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons,
or to inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender or any
Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority
of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability
in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other
document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under
or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing
(which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or
parties. The Administrative Agent and/or the Sustainability Structuring Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents
by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact
that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent or attorney-in-fact as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges and agrees
that (a) none of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Arranger, acting in such capacities have
made any assurances as to (i) whether the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents meets such Lender’s
or Issuing Bank’s criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance, and (ii) whether
any characteristics of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the characteristics of the relevant key performance indicators
to be determined in connection with any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin, including the Borrower’s environmental and
sustainability criteria, meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities and (b) each such Lender and such
Issuing Bank has performed its own independent investigation and analysis of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and whether
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents meet such Lender’s criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and/or
sustainability performance.
134
Section 12.6. Indemnification
of Administrative Agent.
Each Lender agrees to indemnify
the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so)
pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed
expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to
or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative
Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided,
however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment;
provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders,
if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share (determined as of
the time that the applicable reimbursement is sought) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the
counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution,
administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the
rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce
the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the
Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under
any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative
Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt
of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in
this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower
shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in
respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis
with each Lender making any such payment.
135
Section 12.7. Lender Credit
Decision, Etc.
Each of the Lenders and the
Issuing Banks expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations
or warranties to such Issuing Bank or such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of
the affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation
or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Issuing Bank or any Lender. Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks acknowledges
that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of
their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries
and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other
Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered
to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders
and each of the Issuing Banks also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other
Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the
Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower
or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties
or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports
and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any
Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition
or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative
Agent or any of its Related Parties. Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s
legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent
and is not acting as counsel to any Lender or any Issuing Bank.
136
Section 12.8. Successor Administrative
Agent.
The Administrative Agent
may (a) resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and
the Borrower or (b) be removed as administrative agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lenders then acting as Administrative
Agent) and, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower upon 30 days’ prior written notice if the Administrative
Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or
willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject
of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any
action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall,
provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates
as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after (a) the resigning Administrative Agent’s
giving of notice of resignation or (b) the Lenders’ giving of notice of removal, then the resigning or removed Administrative
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any
Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee (but in no event shall any such successor Administrative
Agent be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower and the Lenders that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective
in accordance with such applicable notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through
the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as a successor Administrative
Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided, further that such Lenders and such Issuing Banks
so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection
of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender or Issuing Bank were itself the Administrative Agent. 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 current Administrative Agent, and the resigning or removed
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any resignation by, or removal of,
an Administrative Agent shall also constitute the resignation as an Issuing Bank by the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent (the
“Resigning Lender”). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder (i) the
Resigning Lender shall be discharged from all duties and obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
and (ii) the successor Issuing Bank, or remaining Issuing Banks, shall issue letters of credit in substitution for all Letters of
Credit issued by the Resigning Lender as an Issuing Bank outstanding at the time of such succession (which letters of credit issued in
substitutions shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder) or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Resigning Lender
to effectively assume the obligations of the Resigning Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any Administrative Agent’s
resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit
as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates
by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.
Section 12.9. Arrangers and
Titled Agents.
The Arrangers, the
Syndication Agents, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Documentation Agents, in such capacity, assume no responsibility or obligation
hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder
for the Lenders. The titles given to the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Documentation
Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, the Sustainability
Structuring Agent or any Documentation Agent to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Loan
Party and the use of such titles does not impose on any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Documentation
Agent any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, the Sustainability
Structuring Agent or any Documentation Agent to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

Section 12.10. Specified Derivatives Contracts and
Specified Cash Management Agreements.
No Specified Cash
Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 11.5. by virtue of the provisions hereof or
of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to
the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified
Cash Management Agreements and Specified Derivatives Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Specified
Cash Management Agreements and Specified Derivatives Contracts, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent
may request, from the applicable Specified Cash Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be.

hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, release the Guarantor from its Guaranty as, if and

Section 12.13. Erroneous Payments.
(a) If
the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or an Issuing Bank, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing
Bank (any such Lender, Issuing Bank or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent
has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that
any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to,
or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank or
other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest,
fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of
such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent
and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or such
Issuing Bank shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient
to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous
Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest
thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient
to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds 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. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.
139
(b) Without
limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or Issuing Bank, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender
or an Issuing Bank, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment
or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) 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, prepayment or repayment sent by the
Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded
or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that
such Lender or Issuing Bank, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in
whole or in part) in each case:
(i) (A) in
the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written
confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause
(z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii) such
Lender or Issuing Bank shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all
events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment
or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.13(b).
(c) Each
Lender or Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such
Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Issuing
Bank from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the
indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
140
(d) In
the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received
such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof)
on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative
Agent’s notice to such Lender or Issuing Bank at any time, (i) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have assigned
its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous
Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative
Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous
Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative
Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect
to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or an Issuing Bank shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous
Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become
a Lender or an Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning
Lender or assigning Issuing Bank shall cease to be a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous
Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement
and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or assigning Issuing Bank and (iv) the Administrative
Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the
proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank shall be reduced by the
net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and
claims against such Lender or Issuing Bank (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance
of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender or Issuing Bank and such Commitments shall
remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that
the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective
of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the
rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return
Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).
(e) The
parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount
of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for
the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f) To
the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives,
and is deemed to waive, 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 Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based
on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
141
(g) Each
party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any
portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

or any Lender, and each Participant, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without notice to the Borrower
or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of an Issuing Bank, a Lender, an Affiliate of an
Issuing Bank or a Lender, or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their
sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness
evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative
Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Lender, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, or such Participant,

Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent

Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the
Lenders and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail

(a) EACH
PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR

ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANKS AND THE BORROWER
HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION

(b) THE
BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING
OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT,

SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR
IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY ISSUING BANK MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION
OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR
CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OF
ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.
145
(c) EACH
OF THE PARENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN,
AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED

CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS,
THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 13.5. Successors and
Assigns.
(a) Successors
and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an
Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in
accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security
interest subject to the restrictions of the immediately following subsection (e) (and, subject to the last sentence of the immediately
following subsection (b), any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason
of this Agreement.
146
(b) Assignments
by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment
shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in
the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment and/or the Revolving
Loans at the time owing to it, or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments)
that equal at least the amount specified in the immediately following clause (B) in the aggregate, or in the case of an assignment
of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Term Loan Lender’s Tranche B Term Loan Commitment, Tranche A Term Loans and/or Tranche
B Term Loans at the time owing to it, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum
amount need be assigned; and
(B) in
any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes
Loans outstanding thereunder) of a Class or, if the applicable Commitments of the same Class as such Commitment are not then
in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of such Class of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (in
each case, 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
in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment and $1,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of a Tranche B Term Loan
Commitment, Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event
of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Commitment of the applicable Class held by such
assigning Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of the applicable Class of such assigning Lender, as applicable,
would be less than $5,000,000 in the case of a Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loans or $1,000,000 in the case of a Tranche B Term Loan
Commitment, Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Commitment
of such Class and/or the Loans of such Class at the time owing to it.
147
(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 Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not
prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes of Commitments or Loans on a
non-pro rata basis.
(iii) Required
Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and,
in addition:
(A) the
consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event
of Default exists at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender of the same Class of Commitments or Loans,
an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund of such a Lender; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented
to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days
after having received notice thereof; provided, further, that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required during
the primary syndication of the facilities evidenced under this Agreement; and
(B) the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment
is to a Lender of the same Class of Commitments or Loans, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund of such a Lender; and
(C) the
consent of the Issuing Banks shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Revolving Commitment.
148
(iv) Assignment
and Acceptance; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 (or $7,500 in the event that such transferor Lender is a Defaulting Lender) for
each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender,
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon
the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements
so that new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.
(v) No
Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates
or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).
(vi) No
Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust
for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).
(vii) 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but
not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay
and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, and each
other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans
and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. 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 the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of
an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall
cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4., 13.2. and 13.9. and the other provisions
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 13.10. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior
to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties,
no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender
having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply
with this paragraph 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 the immediately following subsection (d).
149
(c) Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal 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 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 Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as
a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender,
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural Person, a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit
of, a natural Person, any Person that is a Defaulting Lender, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries)
(each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue
to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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 (w) increase
such Lender’s Commitment, (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to
such Lender, (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon (other than a waiver of default interest and changes in the
calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio that may indirectly affect pricing) or (z) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors
from their Obligations under the Guaranty except as contemplated by Section 8.12.(b), in each case, as applicable to that portion
of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations that are subject to the participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4. (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements
under Section 3.10.(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10.(g) shall be delivered
to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection
(b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.6. 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 5.1. or 3.10., with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except
to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant acquired
the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable
efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.6. with respect to any Participant. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.3. as though it were a Lender; provided
that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall,
acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address
of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations
under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to
disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s
interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent
that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form
under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in 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.
150
(e) 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.
(f) No
Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not
make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings
in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other
jurisdiction.
(g) USA
Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and Anti-Money
Laundering Laws, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender shall provide
to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary
for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.
151

to the immediately following subsection (b), any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document relating to the rights or obligations

Section, the Fee Letters may only be amended, and the performance or observance by any Loan Party thereunder may only be waived, in a
writing executed by the parties thereto, as applicable.
(b) Affected
Lender Consents. Notwithstanding Section 13.6.(a), no amendment, waiver or consent shall:
(i) increase,
extend or reinstate the Commitments of a Lender, or subject a Lender to any additional obligations, in each case without the written
consent of such Lender, or increase the aggregate Commitments except as contemplated pursuant to Section 2.17.;
152
(ii) reduce
the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of interest that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of,

(vi) while
any Term Loans remain outstanding, (A) amend, modify or waive Section 6.2. or any other provision of this Agreement if the effect

in each case, without the written consent of the Requisite Revolving Lenders;

(xii) release

or waive the Borrower’s compliance with, Section 2.16. without the written consent of each Lender;
it being understood and agreed that the consent of the Requisite
Lenders is not also necessary for the amendments approved by all affected Lenders pursuant to this clause (b).
(c) Amendment
of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent,
in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.4. or the obligations
of the Issuing Banks under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such
action, require the written consent of each Issuing Bank. Any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan Document that (i) diminishes
the rights of a Specified Derivatives Provider or a Specified Cash Management Bank in a manner or to an extent dissimilar to that affecting
the Lenders or (ii) increases the liabilities or obligations of a Specified Derivatives Provider or a Specified Cash Management
Bank shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the consent of the Lender that is (or having
an Affiliate that is) such Specified Derivatives Provider or such Specified Cash Management Bank, as applicable. 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 Commitments of any Defaulting Lender
may not be increased, reinstated or extended without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment
or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely
than other affected Lenders shall require the written consent of such Defaulting Lender. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation
not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default
occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms
of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent
to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice
to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
154
(d) Technical
Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.6., if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have
jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions
of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity,
omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders and the Issuing
Banks. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement, and the Administrative
Agent shall promptly make a copy of such amendment available to the Lenders.
(e) Replacement
Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.6., the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without
the consent of any Lender (but subject to the absence of objection by Requisite Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 5.9.),
enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents
as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or otherwise effectuate the terms
of Section 5.9. in accordance with the terms of Section 5.9.
155
(f) ESG Adjustments.
(i) Prior
to the 12 month anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrower, in consultation with the Sustainability Structuring Agent, may in its
sole discretion seek to establish additional specified key performance indicators with respect to certain environmental, social and governance
(“ESG”) goals of the Parent, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries (such indicators, “ESG KPI Metrics”)
and thresholds or targets with respect thereto (in either case, such thresholds or targets, “SPTs”). The Administrative
Agent and the Borrower (each acting reasonably and in consultation with the Sustainability Structuring Agent) may propose an amendment
to this Agreement (such amendment, an “ESG Amendment”) solely for the purpose of incorporating the ESG KPI Metrics,
the SPTs and other related provisions (the “ESG Pricing Provisions”) into this Agreement in connection with the Revolving
Credit Facility and the Tranche B Term Loan Facility. Any such ESG Amendment shall become effective upon (i) receipt by the Lenders
of a lender presentation in regard to the ESG KPI Metrics and SPTs from the Borrower no later than five (5) Business Days before
the proposed effective date of such proposed ESG Amendment, (ii) the posting of such proposed ESG Amendment to all Lenders, (iii) the
identification, and engagement at the Borrower’s cost and expense, of a sustainability assurance provider, which shall be a qualified
external reviewer of nationally recognized standing, independent of the Parent, the Borrower and their Affiliates and (iv) the receipt
by the Administrative Agent of executed signature pages and consents to such ESG Amendment from the Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and Lenders comprising at least the Requisite Revolving Lenders and Requisite Tranche B Term Loan Lenders. Upon the effectiveness
of any such ESG Amendment, based on the Borrower’s performance against the ESG KPI Metrics and SPTs, certain adjustments (increase,
decrease or no adjustment) (such adjustments, the “ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments”) to the otherwise applicable Applicable
Margin for the Revolving Credit Facility and the Tranche B Term Loan Facility and Applicable Facility Fee may be made; provided that
(x) the amount of any such adjustments made pursuant to an ESG Amendment shall not result in a decrease or an increase of more than
0.040% in the Applicable Margin for the Revolving Credit Facility or more than 0.050% in the Applicable Margin the Tranche B Term Loan
Facility during any fiscal year, which pricing adjustments shall be applied in accordance with the terms as further described in the
ESG Pricing Provisions, (y) the amount of any such adjustments made pursuant to an ESG Amendment shall not result in a decrease
or an increase of more than 0.010% in the Applicable Facility Fee during any fiscal year, which pricing adjustments shall be applied
in accordance with the terms as further described in the ESG Pricing Provisions and (z) in no event shall any Applicable Margin
or Applicable Facility Fee be less than zero (the provisions of this proviso, the “Sustainability Adjustment Limitations”).
For the avoidance of doubt, the ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments shall not be cumulative year-over-year and shall only apply until the
date on which the next adjustment is due to take place. The ESG KPI Metrics, the Borrower’s performance against the ESG KPI Metrics,
and any related ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments resulting therefrom, will be determined based on certain Borrower certificates, reports
and other documents, in each case, setting forth the ESG KPI Metrics in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan
Principles, including with respect to the selection, setting, calculation, certification and measurement thereof. Following the effectiveness
of an ESG Amendment, any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions shall be subject only to the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Requisite Lenders so long as such modification does not have the effect of (1) increasing or decreasing the Sustainability
Adjustment Limitations set forth in the ESG Amendment or (2) reducing any Applicable Margin or Applicable Facility Fee to less than
zero.
156
(ii) The
Borrower, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that neither the Revolving Credit Facility
nor the Tranche B Term Loan Facility (including the Loans and Commitments thereunder) are, nor shall be, a deemed sustainability-linked
loan unless and until the effectiveness of any ESG Amendment. Prior to the effectiveness of an ESG Amendment, the Borrower will not publish
any materials or statements (including on any website of the Borrower, in the financial statements or annual reports of the Borrower
or in any press release or public announcement issued by the Borrower) which refer to the Revolving Credit Facility or the Tranche B
Term Loan Facility under this Agreement being a sustainability-linked loan.
(iii) Other
than (i) increasing or decreasing the Sustainability Adjustment Limitations or (ii) reducing any Applicable Margin or the Applicable
Facility Fee to less than zero (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be subject to the written consent of “each Lender directly
affected thereby”, in accordance with Section 13.6.(b)), this Section 13.6.(f) shall supersede any other clause or
provision in Section 13.6. to the contrary, including any provision of Section 13.6.(b) requiring the consent of “each
Lender directly affected thereby”, for reductions in interest rates or fees payable thereunder.
(g) Amend and Extend Transactions.
(i) The
Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an “Extension”)
of the maturity date of any Class of Loans and Commitments to the extended maturity date specified in such notice; provided
that, (x) an Extension of the Revolving Termination Date may only be requested to the extent that
the Borrower shall have exercised its rights to extend the Revolving Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.14.(a) and (y) an
Extension of the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date may only be requested to the extent that the Borrower shall have exercised its rights
to extend the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.14.(b). Such notice shall (A) set forth the amount of
the applicable Class of Commitments and/or Term Loans that will be subject to the Extension (which shall be in a minimum amount
of $50,000,000 and minimum increments of $25,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other amounts as may be acceptable to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent)), (B) set forth the date on which such Extension is requested to become effective (which shall be not
less than fifteen (15) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such Extension notice (or such longer or shorter
periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)) and (C) identify the relevant Class of Commitments
and/or Term Loans to which such Extension relates. Each Lender of the applicable Class shall be offered (an “Extension
Offer”) an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions as each other
Lender of such Class pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.
If the aggregate principal amount of Commitments or Term Loans in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension
Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, subject to the Extension Offer
as set forth in the Extension notice, then the Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, of Lenders of the applicable Class shall
be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted
such Extension Offer.
157
(ii) The
following shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension: (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (B) the representations and warranties
made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and
correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation
or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such effective date of such Extension with the same force and effect
as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier
date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case
of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in
all respects) on and as of such earlier date), (C) the Issuing Banks shall have consented to any Extension of the Revolving Commitments,
to the extent that such Extension provides for the issuance or extension of Letters of Credit at any time during the extended period
and (D) the terms of such Extended Commitments and Extended Term Loans shall comply with subclause
(iii) of this Section 13.6.(g). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall
the Commitments or Loans of any Lender be extended pursuant to this Section 13.6.(g) unless such Lender affirmatively accepts
in writing the applicable Extension Offer, it being understood and agreed that a failure by a Lender to respond to any such Extension
Offer shall be deemed to be a rejection by such Lender of such Extension Offer.
(iii) The
terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment;
provided that (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Commitment or Extended Term Loan shall be no earlier than the latest
maturity date then in effect for any Class of Loans, (B)(x) there shall be no scheduled amortization of the loans or reductions
of commitments under any Extended Commitments and (y) the average life to maturity of the Extended
Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining average life to maturity of the existing Term Loans, (C) the Extended Revolving
Loans and the Extended Term Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the existing Revolving Loans
and the existing Term Loans and the borrower and guarantors of the Extended Commitments or Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall
be the same as the Borrower and Guarantors with respect to the existing Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, (D) the interest
rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premium applicable to any Extended Commitment (and the Extended Revolving
Loans thereunder) and Extended Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders, (E)(x) the Extended
Term Loans may participate on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or mandatory prepayments
with the other Term Loans and (y) borrowing and prepayment of Extended Revolving Loans, or reductions of Extended Commitments, and
participation in Letters of Credit, shall be on a pro rata basis with the other Revolving Loans or Commitments (other than upon the maturity
of the non-extended Revolving Loans and Commitments) and (F) the terms of the Extended Commitments or Extended Term Loans, as applicable,
shall be substantially identical to the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in sub-clauses (A) through (E) above).
(iv) In
connection with any Extension, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify
to evidence the Extension (including, without limitation, legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date). The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension. Any Extension Amendment may, without
the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate,
in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Extension, including any amendments
necessary to establish Extended Commitments or Extended Term Loans as a new Class or tranche of Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable,
and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Class or tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the
extended and non-extended Classes or tranches and to provide for the reallocation of Revolving Credit Exposure upon the expiration or
termination of the commitments under any Class or tranche), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 13.6.(g).
158
Section 13.7. Nonliability of
Administrative Agent and Lenders.
The relationship between
the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Administrative Agent,
on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent,
any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any
of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary
duty owing by the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower,
any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. None of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Issuing Bank or any
Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the
Borrower’s business or operations. 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), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges
its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the
Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, on the one hand,
and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting,
regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands
and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each
of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders 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 Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability
Structuring Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its 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, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad
range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative
Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the
Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it
may have against the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach
or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
159
Section 13.8. Confidentiality.
The Administrative Agent,
each Issuing Bank and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) but in any event may make
disclosure: (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ other 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); (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to
(i) any actual or proposed assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential transfer of any Commitment or
Loan or participation therein as permitted hereunder, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap
or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations; (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority
or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as otherwise required by Applicable
Law (in which case, the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent such disclosure is
permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably practicable, inform the Borrower promptly in advance thereof, to the extent reasonably practicable
and, otherwise promptly thereafter); (d) to the Administrative Agent’s, such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s independent
auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) in
connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document (or any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management
Agreement) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document (or any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management
Agreement) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender
to be a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate
of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate
of the Borrower; (g) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory
or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or
purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (h) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information
customarily found in such publications; (i) to any other party hereto; (j) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau
or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loan Documents; (k) for
purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense; and (l) with the consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to the Borrower
or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent, such
Issuing Bank or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or
such Lender. As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, any other
Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information
that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower,
any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate, provided that, in the case of any such information received from
the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified
at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall
be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality
of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
160
Section 13.9. Indemnification.
(a) The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Sustainability Structuring Agent, each Issuing Bank,
each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Party”)
against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, and shall pay or reimburse any such Indemnified Party for, any and all losses,
claims (including without limitation, Environmental Claims), damages, liabilities and related expenses (including without limitation,
the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for any Indemnified Party), incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified
Party by any Person (including the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary) other than such Indemnified Party and its Related
Parties, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) 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 or thereto of their respective obligations
hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit
or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter
of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or
operated by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnity
Proceeding”) relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third
party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto,
or (v) any claim (including without limitation, any Environmental Claims), investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether
or not the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out
of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein
or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultant’s
fees; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party to its Affiliates.
161
(b) If
and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees
to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.
(c) The
Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any of the other obligations set forth
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.
(d) This
Section 13.9. shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising
from any non-Tax claim.
References in this Section 13.9.
to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified
Derivatives Providers and Specified Cash Management Banks, as applicable.
Section 13.10. Termination;
Survival.
This Agreement shall
terminate at such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired
or been canceled (other than Extended Letters of Credit in respect of which the Borrower has satisfied the requirements to provide Cash
Collateral as required in Section 2.4.(b)), (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any
Loans and no Issuing Bank is obligated any longer under this Agreement to issue Letters of Credit and (d) all Obligations (other
than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full. The indemnities to which the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4., 12.6., 13.2.
and 13.9. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 13.4., shall continue
in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination
of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all
times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date
such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.
Section 13.11. Severability
of Provisions.
If any provision
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable,
that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan Documents.
Section 13.12. GOVERNING LAW.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY
PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.
162
Section 13.13. Counterparts.
To facilitate execution,
this Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts as may be convenient
or required (which may be effectively delivered by facsimile, in portable document format (“PDF”) or other similar
electronic means). It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons
required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not
be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures
of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.
Section 13.14. Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties
and Subsidiaries.
The obligations
of the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries as specified herein shall
be absolute and not subject to any defense the Borrower may have that the Borrower does not control such Loan Parties or Subsidiaries.
Section 13.15. Independence of Covenants.
All covenants hereunder
shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants,
the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
Section 13.16. Limitation of Liability.
None of the Administrative
Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower
hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive
damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the
other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
Section 13.17. Entire Agreement.
This Agreement and
the other Loan Documents embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements,
representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted
or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. To the extent any
term of this Agreement is inconsistent with a term of any other Loan Document to which the parties of this Agreement are party, the term
of this Agreement shall control to the extent of such inconsistency. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.
163
Section 13.18. Construction.
The Administrative
Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice
and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Borrower and
each Lender.
Section 13.19. Headings.
The paragraph and
section headings in this Agreement are provided for convenience of reference only and shall not affect its construction or interpretation.
Section 13.20. Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In
of Affected Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party
hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability
is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to,
and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the
application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which
may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution,
its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments
of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
or
(iii) the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution
Authority.
Section 13.21. Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported
QFCs.
To the extent that the Loan
Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Specified Derivatives 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):
164
(a) 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.
(b) As used in this Section 13.21., the following terms have the following meanings:
(A) “BHC
Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with,
12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
(B) “Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(I) a
“covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b);
(II) a
“covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or
(III) a
“covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).
(C) “Default
Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81,
47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
(D) “QFC”
has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12. U.S.C
5390(c)(8)(D).
165
Section 13.22. No Novation.
(a) Existing
Credit Agreement. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of this Agreement, this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall exclusively control and govern the mutual rights and obligations of the parties hereto with respect
to the Existing Credit Agreement, and the Existing Credit Agreement shall be superseded in all respects, in each case, on a prospective
basis only.
(b) NO
NOVATION. THE PARTIES HERETO HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT SOLELY TO AMEND AND RESTATE THE TERMS OF, AND THE OBLIGATIONS OWING
UNDER, THE EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES DO NOT INTEND THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY TO BE, AND THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO BE, A NOVATION OF ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS OWING BY THE BORROWER
UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (AS DEFINED IN THE EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT),
AND SUCH OBLIGATIONS ARE HEREBY RATIFIED AND REAFFIRMED AS VALID AND EXISTING OBLIGATIONS UNDER AND AS DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY MODIFIED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER).

for any applicable Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement the spread adjustment, or method for calculating
or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention,

Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

ARTICLE II CREDIT FACILITY
Section 2.1. [Reserved].
Section 2.2. Loans.
(a) Making
of Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, during the Availability Period, each Lender severally and not jointly
agrees to make term loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount up to, but not exceeding, the
amount of such Lender’s Commitment (such available facility and the Loans under such facility, the “Term Loan
Facility”). There shall be no more than four (4) separate borrowings of Loans (including the borrowing on the Closing
Date) and each borrowing of Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $10,000,000 in
excess thereof; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Loans shall be made on the Closing Date in the
aggregate principal amount of not less than $125,000,000 and (ii) a borrowing of Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the
remaining Commitments. Upon a Lender’s funding of its Loan, the Commitment of such Lender shall be permanently reduced by the
principal amount of such Loan. The Borrower may not reborrow any portion of the Loans once repaid or prepaid. All undrawn
Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. Central time on the Availability Termination Date if not previously terminated
pursuant to this Agreement.
(b) Requests
for Loans. Not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time at least one (1) Business Day prior to a borrowing of Loans that are to
be Base Rate Loans and not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time at least three (3) Business Days prior to a borrowing of Loans
that are to be SOFR Loans, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice requesting that the Lenders make the Loans on the date
of the proposed borrowing and specifying the aggregate principal amount of Loans to be borrowed (which shall be not less than $125,000,000
in the case of the borrowing on the Closing Date), the Type of the Loans, and if such Loans are to be Term SOFR Loans, the initial Interest
Period for the Loans. Such notice shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower, and, if such Loans are to be Term SOFR
Loans, shall include customary funding indemnification language. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender.
50
(c) Funding
of Loans. Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower with the Administrative
Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the date of the proposed
borrowing. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the
Borrower in the account specified by the Borrower in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than 2:00 p.m. Central time
on the date of the proposed borrowing, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.
(d) Assumptions
Regarding Funding by Lenders. With respect to Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall
have been notified by any Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent a Loan to be made by such
Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Loan
available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount of such Loan to be provided by such Lender. In such
event, if such Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Loan, then such Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Loan with interest thereon, for each day
from and including the date such Loan is made available to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, 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 and (ii) in the
case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall
pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays to the
Administrative Agent the amount of such Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the
borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall
have failed to make available the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender.
Section 2.3. [Reserved].
Section 2.4. [Reserved].
Section 2.5. [Reserved].
Section 2.6. Rates
and Payment of Interest on Loans.
(a) Rates.
The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each
Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall
be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:
(i) during
such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Base
Rate Loans applicable to such Loan;
51
(ii) during
such periods as such Loan is a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, at the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the
Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans applicable to such Loan; and
(iii) during
such periods as such Loan is a Term SOFR Loan, at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor, plus the
Applicable Margin for SOFR Loans applicable to such Loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, while
an Event of Default under Section 11.1(a), 11.1(e) or 11.1(f) exists (and at the direction of the Requisite Lenders while
any other Event of Default exists) or after the Obligations have otherwise been accelerated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, as the case may be, interest at the Post-Default Rate
on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under
the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent
permitted under Applicable Law).
(b) Payment
of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) with respect
to any Base Rate Loan or Daily Simple SOFR Loan, monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing with the first full calendar
month occurring after the Effective Date, (ii) with respect to any Term SOFR Loan, the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto and, in the case of any Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of more than three months’ duration, each day prior to the
last day of such Interest Period that occurs at three months’ duration after the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) on
any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise).
Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Administrative Agent
of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) Borrower
Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates. The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations
and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other
information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently
determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent
restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate
or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest
rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall
pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days
of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this
Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s, or any Lender’s other rights under
this Agreement.

Subject to Section 5.4., the Borrower may prepay any Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior notice in the case of Base Rate Loans and Daily Simple SOFR Loans and three (3) Business
Days prior notice in the case of Term SOFR Loans (which notices may be by telecopy or electronic mail) of the prepayment of any Loan which
notice may be conditioned on the occurrence of refinancing thereof. Each voluntary prepayment of Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum
amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) No
Effect on Derivatives Contracts. No repayment or prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section shall affect any of the Borrower’s
obligations under any Derivatives Contracts entered into with respect to the Loans.
Section 2.10. Continuation.
So long as no Default or
Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any Term SOFR Loan, elect to maintain such Term SOFR
Loan or any portion thereof as a Term SOFR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such Term SOFR Loan. Each Continuation of a
Term SOFR Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of
$250,000 in excess of that amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of
the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the
Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the third (3rd) Business Day

outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given. Promptly after
receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Continuation. If the Borrower
shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will
automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a Term SOFR Loan with an Interest Period of one
month; provided, however that if a Default or Event of Default exists, such Loan will automatically, on the last day
of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.11. or
the Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.
53
Section 2.11. Conversion.
The Borrower may on any Business Day,
upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form
of communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base
Rate Loan may not be Converted into a SOFR Loan and a Daily Simple SOFR Loan may not be converted into a Term SOFR Loan if a Default or
Event of Default exists. Each Conversion of Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000
and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 1:00 p.m. Central

Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of
Conversion shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying
(a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to
be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a Term SOFR Loan, the
requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. If the Borrower shall elect a conversion to Term SOFR Loans but fails to select
an Interest Period for any Term SOFR Loan in accordance with this Section, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period
of one month. Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.
Section 2.12. Notes.

In the case of a Lender that has notified the Administrative Agent in writing that it elects to receive a Note, the Loan made by such
Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Note, payable to such Lender (or its registered assigns) in a principal
amount equal to the amount of its initial Commitment and otherwise duly completed.

on the Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that (i) the failure of a Lender to make any such record
shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents and (ii) if there is a discrepancy between such
records of a Lender and the statements of accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.8., in the absence
of manifest error, the statements of account maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.8. shall be controlling.

Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such
Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii)(A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured
agreement of indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrower shall at its own expense execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated
the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

Date.
So long as no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at least thirty (30) days but no more than ninety (90) days prior to the

Section 2.17. Incremental Loans.
The Borrower shall have
the right to request the making of incremental term loans hereunder (“Incremental Loans”, and any such
Incremental Loans, an “Incremental Facility”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which
notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such Incremental Facility
the aggregate principal amount of Loans (including any such Incremental Loans) shall not exceed $400,000,000. Each such Incremental
Facility must be an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. The Arrangers,
in consultation with the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such Incremental Facilities, including decisions
as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be
approached with respect to such Incremental Loans and the allocations thereof among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial
institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to provide Incremental Loans, and
any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested Incremental Facility must be an Eligible
Assignee. Incremental Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with existing Loans, (ii) shall be equally and
ratably secured with the existing Loans, (if
applicable), (iii) shall not mature earlier than the existing Loans, (iv) shall have no amortization or otherwise
be permitted to be prepaid prior to the Maturity Date, and (v) shall be treated substantially the same (and in any event not
more favorably than) the existing Loans. Effecting any Incremental Facility under this Section is subject to the following
conditions precedent: (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such Incremental
Facility, (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and any other Loan Party in any Loan
Document to which such Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a
representation or warranty qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representation or warranty shall
be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such Incremental Facility except to the extent that such
representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall
have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or
Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such
earlier date), and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent: (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or
Assistant Secretary of (A) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by the Borrower to authorize such
Incremental Facility and (B) all corporate, partnership, member or other necessary action taken by each Guarantor authorizing
the guaranty of such Incremental Facility; (ii) a supplement to this Agreement executed by the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and any Lender providing such Incremental Facility, which supplement may include such amendments to this agreement as the
Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to implement such Incremental Facility contemplated by this
Section 2.17., together with the consent of the Guarantors thereto; (iii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the
Guarantors, and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent; and (iv) new or replacement Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any Lenders participating in such
Incremental Facility, as applicable, in the amount of such Lender’s aggregate Loans at the time of the effectiveness of the
applicable Incremental Facility. In connection with any Incremental Facility, any Lender becoming a party hereto shall
(1) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any
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.
Section 2.18. Funds Transfer
Disbursements.
The Borrower hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan
Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement
Instruction Agreement.
56
ARTICLE III PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL
PROVISIONS
Section 3.1. Payments.
(a) Payments
by Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made
by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without
setoff, deduction or counterclaim, except to the extent required by Applicable Law including Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to
Section 3.10., to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the date on which
such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding
Business Day). Subject to Section 11.5., the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied.
Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender
by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative
Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. If the due date of any payment
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period
of such extension.
(b) Presumptions
Regarding Payments by Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on
which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not
be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in
fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed
to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
Section 3.2. Pro
Rata Treatment.
Except to the extent
otherwise provided herein: (a) the making of Loans under Section 2.2.(a) shall be made from the Lenders, and each
payment of the fees under Section 3.5.(e) shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts
of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans shall be made for the account of the
Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; (c) each payment of
interest on Loans shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans
then due and payable to the respective Lenders; and (d) the Conversion and Continuation of Loans of a particular Type (other
than Conversions provided for by Sections 5.1.(c) and 5.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts
of their respective Loans and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall
be coterminous.
57
Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments,
Etc.
If any Lender shall,
by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its
Loans or other Obligations owing to such Lender resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligation greater than the share thereof as provided in Section 3.2. or Section 11.5.,
as applicable, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase
(for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other Obligations owing to the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments
as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with Section 3.2.
or Section 11.5., as applicable; provided that:
(i) if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall
be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of a participation in, any of its Loans to any assignee
or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this Section shall
apply).
The Borrower consents to the foregoing
and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 3.4. Several Obligations.
No Lender shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other
Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder
shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such
other Lender.
58
Section 3.5. Fees.
(a) Closing
Fee. On the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender all loan fees as have been agreed
to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) [Reserved].
(d) Extension
Fee. If the Borrower exercises its right to extend the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.14., the Borrower shall pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee equal to (i) 0.125% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans
outstanding on the effective date of the first One-Year Extension Option, (ii) 0.150% of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans
outstanding on the effective date of the second One-Year Extension Option and (iii) 0.075% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Loans outstanding on the effective date of the Six-Month Extension Option. Such fee shall be due and payable in full on, and as a condition
precedent to, the effective date of each such extension.
(e) Ticking
Fees. During the period commencing 90 days after the Effective Date and ending on the Availability Termination Date, the Borrower
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders a facility ticking fee equal to the sum of the daily amount of
the Commitments available multiplied by a per annum rate equal to 0.20%. Such fee shall be computed on a daily basis and payable quarterly
in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October that occurs during the Availability Period and on the Availability
Termination Date.
(f) Administrative
and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Administrative Agent as provided in the Fee Letters
and as may be otherwise agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
Section 3.6. Computations.
Unless otherwise
expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.
Section 3.7. Usury.
In no event shall the
amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law
and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be
credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to
have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the
Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the
Borrower under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the
use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in
Section 2.6.(a)(i) through (iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all
agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges,
funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses
paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to
compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or
incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall
under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be
fully earned and nonrefundable when due.
59
Section 3.8. Statements of Account.
The Administrative
Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the
Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge
the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 3.9. Defaulting Lenders.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender
is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(a) Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this
Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders and in Section 13.6.
(b) Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI. or otherwise) or received by
the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.3. shall be applied at such time or times as may be
determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to
the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, [reserved]; third, [reserved]; fourth, as the Borrower may request
(so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed
to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined
by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such
Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender
against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh,
so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of
a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed
by a court of competent jurisdiction.
60
(c) Certain
Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.5.(e) for any period during which
that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required
to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(d) [Reserved].
(e) [Reserved].
(f) Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative
Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set
forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take
such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held by the Lenders pro rata as
if there had been no Lenders that were Defaulting Lenders, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided
that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that
Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, subject to Section 13.20., 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.
(g) [Reserved].
(h) Purchase
of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by the
Borrower giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such
Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13.5.(b). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding
an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole
discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and Loans via an assignment
subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(b). In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting
Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and
Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.5.(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of
$7,500; provided that the failure or unwillingness of such Defaulting Lender to execute the Assignment and Assumption and other
necessary documents shall not prevent or delay such assignment and the Assignment and Assumption and other necessary documents shall
be automatically deemed to be fully authorized and executed by the Defaulting Lender if such Defaulting Lender does not promptly
execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment (and, if such Lender fails to deliver any Notes held by it,
such Notes shall automatically be deemed cancelled and such Lender shall be required to indemnify the Borrower for any liabilities
incurred by the Borrower by reason of the failure of such Lender to deliver such Notes). The exercise by the Borrower of its rights
under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent
or any of the Lenders.
61
Section 3.10. Taxes.
(a) Bank. For purposes of this Section, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(b) Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document
shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined
in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment
by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely
pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is
an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after
such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and 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 such deduction or withholding been
made.
(c) Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d) Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within thirty (30)
days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable
to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such
Recipient and 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 Borrower 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.
62
(e) Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, for
(i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or another Loan Party has not already
indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the other Loan
Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.5.
relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that
are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to
such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any
amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection. The provisions of this subsection shall continue to inure to the benefit
of an Administrative Agent following its resignation or removal as Administrative Agent.
(f) Evidence
of Payments. Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, as soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes (excluding for
purposes of this Section 3.10.(f), taxes, assessments, fees and other charges paid by any Loan Party in the normal course of operating
its development and asset management business such as, for example, real property and personal property ad valorem taxes, business licenses,
sales tax, plat fees, zoning application fees, building permit fees and other municipal fees) by the Borrower or any other Loan Party
to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting
such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g) Status of Lenders.
(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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender
is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two
sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately
following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) 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 the Borrower is a U.S. Person:
(A) any
Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent),
an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any
successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
63
(B) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following
is applicable:
(I) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of,
U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article
of such tax treaty;
(II) an
electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;
(III) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal
Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank”
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described
in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an
electronic copy (or an original if requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E,
as applicable; or
(IV) to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS
Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or
Exhibit K-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided
that if such Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the
portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit K-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
64
(C) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an
original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming
exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to
be made; and
(D) if
a payment made to a Lender 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation
prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations
under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
65
(h) Treatment
of Certain Refunds. 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 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 subsection (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 subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay
any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 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 subsection 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.
(i) Survival.
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.
Section 3.11. Sustainability
Adjustments.
(a) Following
the date on which the Borrower provides a Sustainability Certificate in respect of the most recently ended Reference Year, the Applicable
Margin shall be decreased (or not decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Rate Adjustment as set forth in such Sustainability
Certificate. For purposes of the foregoing, (A) the Sustainability Rate Adjustment shall be determined as of the fifth Business Day
following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Sustainability Certificate delivered pursuant Section 3.11(f) based upon
the KPI Metrics set forth in such Sustainability Certificate and the calculations of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment therein (such
day, the “Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”) and (B) each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from
a Sustainability Certificate (or the non-delivery or delivery of an incomplete Sustainability Certificate) shall be effective during the
period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding
the next such Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date (or, in the case of non-delivery of a Sustainability Certificate, the last day such
Sustainability Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 3.11(f)).
(b) For
the avoidance of doubt, only one Sustainability Certificate may be delivered in respect of any Reference Year. It is further
understood and agreed that the Applicable Margin will never be reduced by more than 0.025%, pursuant to the Sustainability Rate
Adjustment during any Reference Year; provided that, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the definitions
of Tenant SBT Percentage and the Sustainability Table may be amended or otherwise modified with the consent of the Borrower, the
Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to
the Applicable Margin by reference to any of the KPI Metrics in any year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. Each applicable
adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place.
66
(c) It
is hereby understood and agreed that if no such Sustainability Certificate is delivered by the Borrower, or any Sustainability Certificate
shall be incomplete and fail to include the KPI Metric for the applicable Reference Year, within the period set forth in Section 3.11(f),
the Sustainability Rate Adjustment will be 0.00% commencing on the last day such Sustainability Certificate could have been delivered
pursuant to the terms of Section 3.11(f) and continuing until the Borrower delivers a Sustainability Certificate to the Administrative
Agent for the applicable Reference Year.
(d) If
(i)(A) any Lender becomes aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Rate Adjustment or the KPI Metrics as reported in
any Sustainability Certificate (any such material inaccuracy, a “Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy”) and such Lender
delivers, not later than ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, a written notice to the Administrative Agent describing
such Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail (which description shall be shared with each Lender and the Borrower),
or (B) the Borrower becomes aware of a Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall
mutually agree that there was a Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of any Sustainability Certificate, and (ii) a
proper calculation of the Sustainability Rate Adjustment or the KPI Metric would have resulted in no adjustment or an increase in the
Applicable Margin for any applicable period, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
applicable Lenders promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for
relief with respect to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent,
any Lender), but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower has received written notice of, or has agreed in writing
that there was, a Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to the excess of (1) the amount of interest and fees that
should have been paid for such period over (2) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. It is understood and
agreed that any Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default; provided, that, the Borrower
complies with the terms of this Section 3.11(d) with respect to such Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief
with respect to the Borrower under any Debtor Relief Laws, (x) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to the immediately
preceding paragraph shall not be due and payable until the earlier to occur of (I) a written demand is made for such payment by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with such paragraph or (II) 10 Business Days after the Borrower has received written notice of,
or has agreed in writing that there was, a Sustainability Certificate Inaccuracy (such date, the “Certificate Inaccuracy Payment
Date”), (y) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date shall not constitute
a Default (whether retroactively or otherwise) and (z) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to the Certificate
Inaccuracy Payment Date or shall accrue interest at the Post-Default Rate prior to the Certificate Inaccuracy Payment Date.
(e) Each
party hereto hereby agrees that neither the Sustainability Structuring Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall have any
responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Borrower of any
Sustainability Rate Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in
any Sustainability Certificate (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further
inquiry).
67
(f) As
soon as available and in any event within 120 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower (commencing with the fiscal year
ending 2023), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in form and detail satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and the Requisite Lenders: a Sustainability Certificate for the most recently-ended Reference Year; provided, that, for any Reference
Year the Borrower may elect not to deliver a Sustainability Certificate, and such election shall not constitute a Default or Event of
Default (but such failure to so deliver a Sustainability Certificate by the end of such 120-day period shall result in the Sustainability
Rate Adjustment being applied as set forth in Section 3.11(c)). In the event the Borrower’s fiscal year is changed to a non-calendar
year fiscal year, the Borrower will be permitted to adjust the timing of delivery of the Sustainability Certificate at its election in
a manner intended to maintain consistency with the foregoing.
ARTICLE IV [RESERVED]
ARTICLE V
YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
Section 5.1. Additional Costs;
Capital Adequacy.
(a) Capital
Adequacy. If any Lender determines that any Regulatory Change affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity ratios or 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 such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by
such Lender the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(b) Additional
Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection, the Borrower shall promptly, but in any
event within ten (10) days of the written demand therefor, pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the
account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender or the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to
compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender for any costs incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender that it
determines are attributable to its making of, or maintaining, continuing or converting, any Loans or its obligation to make,
maintain, continue or convert any Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by
such Lender or the Administrative Agent of capital or liquidity in respect of its Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs
and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory
Change that:
(i) Subjects
such Lender or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to any Taxes in respect of any of such
Loans or its Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded
Taxes and Connection Income Taxes);
68
(ii) imposes
or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, liquidity insurance charge or similar requirements (other than Regulation D
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities
or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on SOFR Loans is determined to the extent
utilized when determining the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Loans) relating to any extensions
of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds
by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender
hereunder); or
(iii) imposes
on any Lender or the Administrative Agent or the applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting
this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender or the Administrative Agent.
(c) Lender’s
Suspension of SOFR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b),
if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified
level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest
rate on SOFR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that
includes SOFR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may
hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender
to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, SOFR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to
be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).
(d) [Reserved].
(e) Notification
and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to notify
the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender, to notify the Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the Agreement Date
entitling the Administrative Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as
promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give such
notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be
required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine
months prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory
Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). The Administrative Agent and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees
to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis
and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the
case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The
Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent and or any such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
69
Section 5.2. Suspension of SOFR
Loans.
Subject to Section 5.9
hereof and anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate
or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for any Interest Period:
(a) the
Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for the
ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate;
(b) the
Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant
deposits referred to in the definition of Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate (or related definitions) are
not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for any SOFR Loans
as provided herein; or
(c) the
Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in
the definition of Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Rate (or related definitions) upon the basis of which the
rate of interest for any SOFR Loans is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining
such SOFR Loans;
then the Administrative Agent shall
give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no
obligation to, and shall not, make additional Term SOFR Loans and/or Daily Simple SOFR Loans, as applicable, Continue Term SOFR Loans
(if applicable) or Convert Loans into Term SOFR Loans and/or Daily Simple SOFR Loans and the Borrower shall, (1) on the last day
of each current Interest Period for any outstanding Term SOFR Loans or (2) immediately for any Daily Simple SOFR Loans, either prepay
such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.
Section 5.3. Illegality.
Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is
unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain SOFR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify
the Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or
Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended until such time
as such Lender may again make and maintain SOFR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).
70
Section 5.4. Compensation.
The Borrower shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as
the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense
attributable to:
(a) any
payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a Term SOFR Loan, or Conversion of a Term SOFR Loan, made by such Lender for
any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration or the exercise by the Borrower of its rights under Section 5.6.) on a date
other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b) any
failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified
in Section 6.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a Term SOFR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base
Rate Loan into a Term SOFR Loan or Continue a Term SOFR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.
Not in limitation of the foregoing,
such compensation shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that
would have accrued on such Term SOFR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such Term SOFR Loan, less
(B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same Term SOFR Loan for the same period if the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate were set
on the date on which such Term SOFR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert
or Continue such Term SOFR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate quoted
on such date. Upon the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the
basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
Section 5.5. Treatment of Affected
Loans.
(a) If
the obligation of any Lender to make SOFR Loans of any Type or to Continue Term SOFR Loans, or to Convert Loans of any other Type
into, Daily Simple SOFR Loans or Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2. or
Section 5.3. then such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans (1) in the
case of affected Daily Simple SOFR Loans, immediately or (2) in the case of affected Term SOFR Loans, on the last
day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Term SOFR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by
Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3. on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, may specify to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable)) and, unless and until such Lender
or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1.,
Section 5.2. or Section 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(i) to
the extent that such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise
be applied to such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
71
(ii) all
affected Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as SOFR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate
Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into affected SOFR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
If such Lender or the Administrative
Agent, as applicable, gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable) that the circumstances specified
in Section 5.1.(c), 5.2. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s affected SOFR Loans pursuant to this Section no
longer exist (which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist)
at a time when affected SOFR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically
Converted, (1) in the case of Daily Simple SOFR Loans, immediately and (2) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, on the first day(s) of
the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Term SOFR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect
thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding such SOFR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and
Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
The Lenders and
Administrative Agent may elect, if commercially reasonable and if permitted by Applicable Law, to Convert the Loans which are subject
to Conversion under this Article from SOFR Loans of the applicable Type to Base Rate Loans after the expiration of all Derivative
Contracts of which Administrative Agent has received written notice and copies that may affect such Loans subject to Conversion in order
to avoid any breakage fees or other costs or charges associated with a premature termination of such Derivatives Contracts.
Section 5.6. Affected Lenders.
If (a) a Lender
requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 5.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same or (b) the
obligation of any Lender to make SOFR Loans of any Type or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, SOFR Loans shall be
suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c) or 5.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended
under such Sections, and in the case of clause (a) or (b) such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different
Lending Office in accordance with Section 5.7., or (c) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then
the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, demand that
such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand such Lender shall promptly, assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.5.(b)),
all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.10. or Section 5.1. and
rights to indemnification under Section 13.9.) 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:
(i) the
Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 13.5.(b)(iv);
72
(ii) such
Lender shall have received payment of (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to such Lender, plus (y) any
accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon
by such Lender and Eligible Assignee;
(iii) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.1. or payments required to be made pursuant
to Section 3.10., such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and
(v) in
the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the
applicable consent, approval, amendment or waiver.
The Affected Lender shall reasonably
cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section and the Affected Lender shall promptly execute
all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate
Assignment and Assumption, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any
way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights
under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent,
the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation
to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant
to Sections 3.10. or 5.1.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.
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 Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 5.7. Change of Lending
Office.
If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 5.1., or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.10., then such Lender shall (at the written
request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder
or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such
Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.10. or
Section 5.1., as the case may be, in the future, and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense
and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
73
Section 5.8. Assumptions Concerning
Funding of SOFR Loans.
Calculation of all
amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded the applicable SOFR Loans
through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such SOFR Loans in an amount equal
to the amount of the SOFR Loans and, in the case of Term SOFR Loans, having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided,
however, that each Lender may fund each of its SOFR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used
only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.
Section 5.9. Benchmark Replacement
Setting.
(a) Benchmark Replacement.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment
shall become effective at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the
date the Administrative Agent posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative
Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the
Requisite Lenders.
(ii) No
Derivatives Contracts shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 5.9.
(b) Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative
Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any
other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of
any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c) Notices;
Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of
(A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of
any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor
of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (d) below and (E) the commencement 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, 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.
74
(d) Unavailability
of Tenor of Benchmark. 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 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 not or will be not be representative,
then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) 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 not or will not be representative
for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period”
(or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e) Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower
may revoke any request for a Loan under the Term SOFR Rate option or the Daily Simple SOFR option, or conversion to or continuation of
Loans under the Term SOFR Rate option or the Daily Simple SOFR option, as applicable, to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark
Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan of or
conversion to Loans bearing interest under the Base Rate option. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor
for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of 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.

would exist immediately after giving effect thereto; (b) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and
each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except

correct in all respects) on and as of the date of the making of such Loan with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such
date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations

ARTICLE VII REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 7.1. Representations
and Warranties.
In order to induce
the Administrative Agent and each Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative
Agent and each Lender as follows:
(a) Organization;
Power; Qualification. Each of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership,
limited liability company or other legal entity, duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, has the power and authority to own or lease its respective properties and to carry
on its respective business as now being and hereafter proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified and is in good standing as a
foreign corporation, partnership or other legal entity, and authorized to do business, in each jurisdiction in which the character
of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification or authorization and where the failure to be so
qualified or authorized could reasonably be expected to have, in each instance, a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Parent, the
Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Parent is an Affected Financial Institution.
78
(b) Ownership

the Parent setting forth for each such Subsidiary, (i) the jurisdiction of organization of such Subsidiary, (ii) each Person
holding any Equity Interest in such Subsidiary, (iii) the nature of the Equity Interests held by each such Person, (iv) the
percentage of ownership of such Subsidiary represented by such Equity Interests and (v) whether such Person is the Parent, the Borrower
or a Subsidiary Guarantor. As of the Agreement Date, except as disclosed in such Schedule, (A) each of the Parent and its Subsidiaries
owns, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens of the types described in clauses (a) and (f) of the definition
of “Permitted Liens” or, solely with respect to any Subsidiary that is an obligor in respect of any Nonrecourse Indebtedness,
a Lien in favor of the holder of such Nonrecourse Indebtedness to secure the obligations thereunder), and has the unencumbered right
to vote, all outstanding Equity Interests in each Person shown to be held by it on such Schedule, (B) all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of each such Person organized as a corporation is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and (C) there are no
outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, commitments, preemptive rights or agreements of any kind (including, without limitation,
any stockholders’ or voting trust agreements) for the issuance, sale, registration or voting of, or outstanding securities convertible
into, any additional shares of capital stock of any class, or partnership or other Equity Interests of any type in, any such Person.
As of the Agreement Date, Part II of Schedule 7.1.(b) correctly sets forth all Unconsolidated Affiliates of the Parent, including
the correct legal name of such Person, the type of legal entity which each such Person is, and all Equity Interests in such Person held
directly or indirectly by the Parent.
(c) Authorization
of Loan Documents and Borrowings. The Borrower has the right and power, and has taken all necessary action to authorize it, to borrow
and obtain other extensions of credit hereunder. The Borrower and each other Loan Party has the right and power, and has taken all necessary
action to authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party in accordance with their respective
terms and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party
is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of such Person and each is a legal, valid and binding
obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with its respective terms, except as the same may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies
for the enforcement of certain obligations (other than the payment of principal) contained herein or therein and as may be limited by
equitable principles generally.
79
(d) Compliance
of Loan Documents with Laws. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any Loan
Party is a party in accordance with their respective terms and the borrowings and other extensions of credit hereunder do not and will
not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both: (i) require any Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law (including
all Environmental Laws) relating to the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute
a default under the organizational documents of any Loan Party, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower
or any other Loan Party is a party or by which it or any of its respective properties may be bound; or (iii) result in or require
the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by any Loan Party other than
in favor of the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the other Lender Parties.
(e) Compliance
with Law; Governmental Approvals. Each of the Parent, Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries is in compliance
with each Governmental Approval and all other Applicable Laws relating to it except for noncompliances which, and Governmental Approvals
the failure to possess which, could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to cause a Default or Event of Default
or have a Material Adverse Effect.
(f) Title
to Properties; Liens. Part I of Schedule 7.1.(f) is, as of the Agreement Date, a complete and correct listing of all real
estate assets of the Borrower and each other Loan Party, setting forth, for each such Property, whether such property is an Eligible Property
or whether such Property is a Development Property. Each of the Borrower and each other Loan Party has good, marketable and legal title
to, or a valid leasehold interest in, each Property and any other asset included in the calculation of Total Asset Value. No Eligible
Property is subject to any Lien other than Permitted Liens and Liens set forth on Part II of Schedule 7.1(f).
(g) Existing
Indebtedness. Schedule 7.1.(g) is, as of the Agreement Date, a complete and correct listing of all Indebtedness of each of the
Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries, and if such Indebtedness is secured by any Lien, a description of all of
the property subject to such Lien. As of the Agreement Date, the Parent, Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries have
performed and are in compliance with all of the terms of such Indebtedness and all instruments and agreements relating thereto, and no
default or event of default, or event or condition which with the giving of notice, the lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default
or event of default, exists with respect to any such Indebtedness.
(h) Litigation.
Except as set forth on Schedule 7.1.(h), there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending (or, to the actual knowledge of any Loan Party,
are there any actions, suits or proceedings threatened, nor is there any basis therefor) against or in any other way relating adversely
to or affecting the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any of their respective property in any court or before any
arbitrator of any kind or before or by any other Governmental Authority which, (i) could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect or (ii) in any manner draws into question the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document as determined by the
Administrative Agent.
(i) Taxes.
All federal, state and other tax returns of the Borrower, each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary required by Applicable Law
to be filed have been duly filed, and all federal, state and other taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or levies upon,
each Loan Party, each other Subsidiary and their respective properties, income, profits and assets which are due and payable
thereunder have been paid, except any such nonpayment or non-filing which (a) with respect to Taxes that are being contested by
appropriate proceedings and appropriate reserves have been taken in accordance with GAAP or (b) could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Agreement Date, none of the United States income tax returns of the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary is under audit. All charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower, the
Parent, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are in accordance
with GAAP.
80
(j) Financial
Statements. The Borrower has furnished to each Lender copies of (i) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and
its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022, and the related audited consolidated
statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, with the opinion thereon
of KPMG LLP, and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter
ended March 31, 2023 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of
the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the one fiscal quarter period ended on such date. Such financial statements (including
in each case related schedules and notes) are complete and correct in all material respects and present fairly, in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied throughout the periods involved, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as at their respective dates and the results of operations and the cash flows for such periods (subject, as to interim statements, to
changes resulting from normal year-end audit adjustments). Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has on the Agreement Date any
material contingent liabilities, liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual or long-term commitments or unrealized or forward anticipated
losses from any unfavorable commitments that would be required to be set forth in its financial statements or notes thereto, except as
referred to or reflected or provided for in said financial statements. Each of the operating summaries pertaining to each of the Eligible
Properties delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent fairly presents the Net Operating Income of each such Property for the
period then ended.
(k) No
Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2022, there has been no event, change, circumstance or occurrence that could reasonably
be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Each of (i) the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken
as a whole and (ii) the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, are Solvent.
(l) [Reserved].
81
(m) ERISA.
(i) Each
Benefit Arrangement is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and other Applicable Laws in
all material respects. Except with respect to Multiemployer Plans, each Qualified Plan (A) has received a favorable
determination from the Internal Revenue Service applicable to such Qualified Plan’s current remedial amendment cycle (as
defined in Revenue Procedure 2007-44 or “2007-44” for short), (B) has timely filed for a favorable determination
letter from the Internal Revenue Service during its staggered remedial amendment cycle (as defined in 2007-44) and such application

remedial amendment period” (as defined in 2007-44) and received such determination letter and the staggered remedial amendment
cycle first following the GUST remedial amendment period for such Qualified Plan has not yet expired, or (D) is maintained
under a prototype plan and may rely upon a favorable opinion letter issued by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to such
prototype plan. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of its reliance on each
Qualified Plan’s favorable determination letter or opinion letter.
(ii) With
respect to any Benefit Arrangement that is a retiree welfare benefit arrangement, all amounts have been accrued on the applicable
ERISA Group’s financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 715. The “benefit obligation” of all Plans does not
exceed the “fair market value of plan assets” for such Plans by more than $10,000,000 all as determined by and with such
terms defined in accordance with FASB ASC 715.
(iii) Except
as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) no ERISA Event has
occurred or is expected to occur; (ii) there are no pending, or to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, claims, actions
or lawsuits or other action by any Governmental Authority, plan participant or beneficiary with respect to a Benefit Arrangement; (iii) there
are no violations of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Benefit Arrangement;
(iv) no
member of the ERISA Group has engaged in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction,” as defined in Section 406 of ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, in connection with any Plan, that would subject any member of the ERISA Group to a tax
on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code; and (v) no
assessment or tax has arisen under Section 4980H of the Internal Revenue Code.
(iv) As of the
Effective Date, the Borrower is not and will not be using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as
modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans or the Commitments.
(n) Absence
of Default. None of the Loan Parties or any of the other Subsidiaries is in default under its certificate or articles of incorporation
or formation, bylaws, partnership agreement or other similar organizational documents, and no event has occurred, which has not been remedied,
cured or waived: (i) which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default; or (ii) which constitutes, or which with the passage
of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute, a default or event of default by, any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary under
any agreement (other than this Agreement) or judgment, decree or order to which any such Person is a party or by which any such Person
or any of its respective properties may be bound where such default or event of default could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
82

Laws. Except as set forth in Schedule 7.1(o), each of the Borrower, each other Loan Party and the other Subsidiaries: (i) is
in compliance with all Environmental Laws applicable to its business, operations and the Properties, (ii) has obtained all Governmental
Approvals which are required under Environmental Laws for its business and operations, and each such Governmental Approval is in full
force and effect, and (iii) is in compliance with all terms and conditions of such Governmental Approvals, where with respect to
each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iii) the failure to obtain or to comply with could reasonably be expected
to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Except for any of the following matters that could not reasonably
be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party has any knowledge of, or has received written
notice of, any past, present, or pending releases, events, conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents, facts, occurrences,
actions, or plans that, with respect to any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, their respective businesses, operations or with respect
to the Properties, is reasonably likely to: (x) cause or contribute to an actual violation of or noncompliance with Environmental
Laws, (y) cause or contribute to any other common law or legal claim or other liability, or (z) cause any of the Properties
to become subject to any restrictions on ownership, occupancy, use or transferability under any Environmental Law or require the filing
or recording of any notice, approval or disclosure document under any Environmental Law and, with respect to the immediately preceding
clauses (x) through (z) is based on or related to the on-site or off-site manufacture, generation, processing, distribution,
use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport, removal clean up or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release
of any wastes or Hazardous Material, or any other requirement under Environmental Law. There is no Environmental Claim pending or, to
the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened, against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary relating in any way to
Environmental Laws which, reasonably could be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. To the Borrower’s
knowledge, none of the Properties is listed on or proposed for listing on the National Priorities List promulgated pursuant to the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and its implementing regulations, except as could not reasonably be expected
to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect. To the Borrower’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials generated
at or transported from the Properties by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary are or have been transported to, or
disposed of at, any location that is listed or proposed for listing on the National Priority List or any analogous state or local priority
list, or any other location that is or has been the subject of a clean-up, removal or remedial action pursuant to any Environmental Law,
except to the extent that such transportation or disposal could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(p) Investment
Company. None of the Borrower or any other Loan Party is (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled”
by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or (ii) subject to any other Applicable
Law which purports to regulate or restrict its ability to borrow money or obtain other extensions of credit or to consummate the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or to perform its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party.
(q) Margin
Stock. None of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary is engaged principally, or as one of its important
activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying
“margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
83
(r) Affiliate
Transactions. Except as permitted by Section 10.9. or as otherwise set forth on Schedule 7.1.(r), none of the Borrower, any other
Loan Party or any other Subsidiary is a party to or bound by any agreement or arrangement with any Affiliate.
(s) Intellectual
Property. Each of the Loan Parties and each other Subsidiary owns or has the right to use, under valid license agreements or otherwise,
all patents, licenses, franchises, trademarks, trademark rights, service marks, service mark rights, trade names, trade name rights, trade
secrets and copyrights (collectively, “Intellectual Property”) necessary to the conduct of its businesses, without
known conflict with any patent, license, franchise, trademark, trademark right, service mark, service mark right, trade secret, trade
name, copyright, or other proprietary right of any other Person. All such Intellectual Property is fully protected and/or duly and properly
registered, filed or issued in the appropriate office and jurisdictions for such registrations, filing or issuances. No material claim
has been asserted by any Person with respect to the use of any such Intellectual Property by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
other Subsidiary, or challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property. The use of such Intellectual
Property by the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, subject to
such claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any liabilities on the part of the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(t) Business.
As of the Agreement Date, the Parent, Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries are engaged in the business of the ownership,
development and management of retail or reasonably similar Property, together with other business activities incidental thereto.
(u) Broker’s
Fees. No broker’s or finder’s fee, commission or similar compensation will be payable with respect to the transactions
contemplated hereby. No other similar fees or commissions will be payable by any Loan Party for any other services rendered to the Parent,
the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary ancillary to the transactions contemplated hereby.
(v) Accuracy
and Completeness of Information. All written information, reports and other papers and data (other than financial projections
and other forward looking statements and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) furnished to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender by, on behalf of, or at the direction of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other
Subsidiary were, at the time the same were so furnished, complete and correct in all material respects, to the extent necessary to
give the recipient a true and accurate knowledge of the subject matter, or, in the case of financial statements, present fairly, in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, the financial position of the Persons involved as at the
date thereof and the results of operations for such periods (subject, as to interim statements, to changes resulting from normal
year end audit adjustments and absence of full footnote disclosure). All financial projections and other forward looking statements
prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that have been or may hereafter be made
available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender were or will be prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by the
Borrower to be reasonable at the time made available. No fact is known to any Loan Party which has had, or may in the future have
(so far as any Loan Party can reasonably foresee), a Material Adverse Effect which has not been set forth in the financial
statements referred to in Section 7.1.(j) or in such information, reports or other papers or data or otherwise disclosed
in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. No document furnished or written statement made to the Administrative Agent
or any Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of, or pursuant to, this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading. As of the Effective Date, all of the information
included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct.
84

Assuming that no Lender funds (initially or through participation, assignment, transfer or securitization) any amount payable by it hereunder
with “plan assets,” as that term is defined in 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA,
the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the extensions of credit and repayment of
amounts hereunder, do not and will not constitute “prohibited transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.

its ability to borrow money or obtain other extensions of credit or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to
perform its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party.
(cc) Sustainability-Related

its security interest or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or
any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a
trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent
of such recovery, the Guaranteed Obligations, or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies
therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had
not occurred.
108
Section 11.5. Allocation of
Proceeds.
If an Event of Default
exists, all payments received by the Administrative Agent (or any Lender as a result of its exercise of remedies permitted under Section 13.3.)
under any of the Loan Documents in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations shall be applied in the following order and priority:
(a) to
payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees,
payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
(b) to
payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest)
payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts
described in this clause (b) payable to them;
(c) [reserved];
(d) to
payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans, ratably among the Lenders
in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (d) payable to them;
(e) [reserved];
(f) to
payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, and payment obligations then owing under
Specified Derivatives Contracts and Specified Cash Management Agreements, ratably among the Lenders, the Specified Derivatives Providers
and the Specified Cash Management Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (f) payable to them; and
(g) the
balance, if any, after all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required
by Applicable Law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guaranteed
Obligations arising under Specified Cash Management Agreements and Specified Derivatives Contracts shall be excluded from the application
described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the
Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Cash Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may
be. Each Specified Cash Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated
by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent
pursuant to the terms of Article XII. for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.
109
Section 11.6. [Reserved].
Section 11.7. Rescission of Acceleration by Requisite
Lenders.
If at any time after
acceleration of the maturity of the Loans and the other Obligations, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on
account of principal of the Obligations which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to
the extent permitted by Applicable Law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Defaults
(other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Obligations due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall
become remedied or waived to the satisfaction of the Requisite Lenders, then by written notice to the Borrower, the Requisite Lenders
may elect, in the sole discretion of such Requisite Lenders, to rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences. The provisions
of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind all of the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite
Lenders, and are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul
any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are satisfied.
Section 11.8. Performance by Administrative Agent.
If the Borrower
or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative
Agent may, after notice to the Borrower, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower or such
other Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request
of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted
performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure
until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility
whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Section 11.9. Rights Cumulative.
(a) Generally.
The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, of the
Specified Derivatives Providers under the Specified Derivatives Contracts, and of the Specified Cash Management Banks under the Specified
Cash Management Agreements, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under
Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Specified Derivatives Providers
and the Specified Cash Management Banks may be selective and no failure or delay by any such Lender Party in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the
exercise of any other power or right.
110
(b) Enforcement
by Administrative Agent. 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 Article XI. for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided
that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) 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,
(ii) [reserved], (iii) any Specified Derivatives Provider or Specified Cash Management Bank from exercising the rights and
remedies that inure to its benefit under any Specified Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement, as applicable,
(iv) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.3. (subject to the terms of
Section 3.3.), or (v) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during
the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at
any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (x) the Requisite
Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article XI. and (y) in addition
to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.3., any
Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the
Requisite Lenders.
ARTICLE XII THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 12.1. Appointment and Authorization.
Each Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such
Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to
the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the
benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite
Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the
powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and
binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any
Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”,
“agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote
any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such
terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender, promptly upon
receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents
delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX. that the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly
to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate,
an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already
delivered or otherwise made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to
any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the
Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to
act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the
Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions
shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the
Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not
in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan
Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent
otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a
result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in
accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.
111
Section 12.2. Administrative
Agent as Lender.
The Lender acting
as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as a Lender, a Specified Derivatives Provider or a Specified Cash Management
Bank, as the case may be, under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management
Agreement, as the case may be, as any other Lender, Specified Derivatives Provider or any Specified Cash Management Bank and may exercise
the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated, include the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent in each case in its individual capacity. Such Lender and its
Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures
of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate
thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers
or any Specified Cash Management Banks. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from
the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract or any Specified Cash Management Agreement,
or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders, any Specified Derivatives Providers or any Specified Cash Management
Banks. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may
receive information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may
be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation
to provide such information to them.
112
Section 12.3. Approvals of Lenders.
All communications
from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent or approval (a) shall be given
in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such
determination, consent or approval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue
may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved and (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by
such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower
in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically
objects to the requested determination, consent or approval (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such
objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms
of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved such requested determination,
consent or approval. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any amendment, waiver or consent regarding any of the matters
described in Section 13.6.(b).
Section 12.4. Notice of Events of Default.
The Administrative
Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent
has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also
serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent
such a “notice of default”; provided, a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to
the Administrative Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents. Further, if
the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to
the Lenders.
113
Section 12.5. Administrative Agent’s Reliance.
Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring
Agent nor any of their respective Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection
with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection
with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable
judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent may
consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it
in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability
Structuring Agent nor any of their respective Related Parties: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any
other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed
made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any
Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any
other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or
any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lender Parties in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications,
representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or
statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone,
telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The
Administrative Agent and/or the Sustainability Structuring Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or
through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or
attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent or
attorney-in-fact as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Each Lender also
acknowledges and agrees that (a) none of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Arranger, acting
in such capacities have made any assurances as to (i) whether the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents meets such Lender’s criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance, and
(ii) whether any characteristics of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the characteristics of the relevant
key performance indicators to be determined in connection with any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin, including the
Borrower’s environmental and sustainability criteria, meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities
and (b) each such Lender has performed its own independent investigation and analysis of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and whether this Agreement and the other Loan Documents meet such Lender’s criteria or expectations with regard to
environmental impact and/or sustainability performance.
114
Section 12.6. Indemnification
of Administrative Agent.
Each Lender agrees to
indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower
to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any
time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a
Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action
taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however,
that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable
judgment; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all
of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes
of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its Pro
Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable reimbursement is sought) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise)
of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action
brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender
liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against
the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel
fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the
Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that
the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment
of the Loans and all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative
Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable
Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making
any such payment.
Section 12.7. Lender Credit
Decision, Etc.
Each of the Lenders
expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations
or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or
warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and
based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and
inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the
other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder,
the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the
Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The
Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other
Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of,
or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and
other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any
credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of
its Related Parties. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to
any Lender.
115
Section 12.8. Successor Administrative
Agent.
The Administrative Agent
may (a) resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and
the Borrower or (b) be removed as administrative agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lenders then acting as Administrative
Agent) and, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower upon 30 days’ prior written notice if the Administrative
Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or
willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject
of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any
action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment. Upon any such
resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall,
provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates
as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after (a) the resigning Administrative Agent’s
giving of notice of resignation or (b) the Lenders’ giving of notice of removal, then the resigning or removed Administrative
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing
to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee (but in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting
Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders
that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with
such applicable notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative
Agent shall instead be made to each Lender directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided
for above in this Section; provided, further that such Lenders so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected
by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender were
itself the Administrative Agent. 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 current Administrative Agent, and the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions
of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative
Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights
and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.
116
Section 12.9. Arrangers and
Titled Agents.
The Arrangers, the
Syndication Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Documentation Agents, in such capacity, assume no responsibility or obligation
hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder
for the Lenders. The titles given to the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Documentation
Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Sustainability
Structuring Agent or any Documentation Agent to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use
of such titles does not impose on any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Documentation Agent
any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Sustainability Structuring
Agent or any Documentation Agent to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.
Section 12.10. Specified Derivatives Contracts and
Specified Cash Management Agreements.
No Specified Cash
Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 11.5. by virtue of the provisions hereof or
of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under
any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to
the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified
Cash Management Agreements and Specified Derivatives Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Specified
Cash Management Agreements and Specified Derivatives Contracts, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent
may request, from the applicable Specified Cash Management Bank or Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be.
117
Section 12.11. Certain ERISA Matters.
(a) Each
Lender (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, the Arrangers, and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any
other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i) such
Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit
Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans or the Commitments;
(ii) the
transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent
qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts),
PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption
for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined
by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and
performance of the Loans, 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
84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate
in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration
of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of
Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of
PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the
Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement; or
(iv) such
other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and
such Lender.
(b) In
addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender
or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with 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, the Arrangers, and their respective Affiliates, and not,
for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent,
the Arrangers nor any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such
Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement
(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 hereto or thereto).
118
Section 12.12. Release of Guarantors.
Each of the Lenders
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, release the Guarantor from its Guaranty as, if and
when required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 12.13. Erroneous Payments.
(a) If
the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient,
a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt
of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient
(whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment
or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”)
and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property
of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent,
and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient
to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous
Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest
thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient
to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds 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. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.
(b) Without
limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, hereby
further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of
principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) 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, prepayment or repayment sent by the
Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not
preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates),
or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake
(in whole or in part) in each case:
(i) (A) in
the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written
confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause
(z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
119
(ii) such
Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within
one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment,
the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.13(b).
(c) Each
Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under
any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount
due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d) In
the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand
therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received
such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion
thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the
Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but
not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted
Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent
may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous
Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the
Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such
Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to
acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the
assignee Lender shall become a Lender, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning
Lender shall cease to be a Lender, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the
avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which
shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest
in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans
acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment
Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof),
and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient
that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce
the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In
addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof)
acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be
equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable
Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment
Subrogation Rights”).
120
(e) The
parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount
of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for
the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f) To
the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives,
and is deemed to waive, 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 Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based
on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g) Each
party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any
portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

Section 13.2. Expenses.
The Borrower agrees
(a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including
due diligence expenses and reasonable travel expenses related to closing), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and, if necessary, of local counsel
for the Administrative Agent in each relevant jurisdiction and all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the
use of a Platform in connection with the Loan Documents and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent
relating to all such activities, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Lenders
for all their reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement or preservation of any
rights or remedies under the 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 the reasonable
fees and disbursements of each of their respective counsel and any payments in indemnification or otherwise payable by the Lenders to
the Administrative Agent or the Sustainability Structuring Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, and (c) to the extent not already
covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the fees and disbursements of counsel (subject to the same limitations
set forth in the proviso to clause (b) above) to the Administrative Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent and any Lender incurred
in connection with the representation of the Administrative Agent, Sustainability Structuring Agent or such Lender in any matter relating
to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f), including, without
limitation (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery
of any document relating to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any debtor-in-possession financing or any
plan of reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by the Borrower, such Loan Party, the Lenders or any
other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation
or conclusion of any such proceeding. If the Borrower shall fail to pay any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to this Section,
the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts on behalf of the Borrower and such amounts shall be deemed to be Obligations
owing hereunder. This Section 13.2 shall not apply to Taxes.
Section 13.3. Setoff.
Subject to
Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any
such rights, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, and each Participant, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without notice to the Borrower or
to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or a
Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off
and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by
certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative
Agent, such Lender, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and
all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2., and
although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if 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 3.9. 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) such 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.
123
Section 13.4. Litigation; Jurisdiction;
Other Matters; Waivers.
(a) EACH
PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS
WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL
BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST
ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER
BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
(b) THE
BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR
PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER, OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN
NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY
THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT
ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR,
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL,
NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER
JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN
THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT
MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS
BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS
SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT
BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.
124
(c) EACH
OF THE PARENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN,
AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED
TO THE PARENT OR THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN. SHOULD THE PARENT OR THE BORROWER FAIL TO APPEAR OR ANSWER
ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS SO SERVED WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE MAILING THEREOF, THE PARENT OR THE BORROWER SHALL
BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT AND AN ORDER AND/OR JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED AGAINST IT AS DEMANDED OR PRAYED FOR IN SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT,
PROCESS OR PAPERS.
(d) THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL
CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 13.5. Successors and
Assigns.
(a) Successors
and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder
except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b),
(ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d) or
(iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of the immediately following subsection
(e) (and, subject to the last sentence of the immediately following subsection (b), any other attempted assignment or transfer
by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided
in the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
125
(b) Assignments
by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment
shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in
the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or Loans at the time owing to it,
or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in
any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), 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 (in each case, 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 $1,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of a Commitment, unless each of the Administrative Agent
and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Commitment held
by such assigning Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than
$1,000,000 in the case of a Commitment or Loans, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Commitment and/or the
Loans at the time owing to it.
126
(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 Loan or the Commitment assigned.
(iii) Required
Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and,
in addition:
(A) the
consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event
of Default exists at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice
to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further,
that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the facilities evidenced under this Agreement;
and
(B) the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment
is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
127
(iv) Assignment
and Acceptance; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 (or $7,500 in the event that such transferor Lender is a Defaulting Lender) for
each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender,
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon
the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements
so that new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.
(v) No
Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to
(A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s
Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a
Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).
(vi) No
Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust
for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).
(vii) 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata
share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor
hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate)
its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. 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.
128
Subject to
acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after
the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to
the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4., 13.2. and 13.9. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
as provided in Section 13.10. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or
transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 the
immediately following subsection (d).
(c) Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal 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 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 Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as
a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender,
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to
any Person (other than a natural Person, a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary
benefit of, a natural Person, any Person that is a Defaulting Lender, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or
Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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. 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 (w) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal
on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon (other than a
waiver of default interest and changes in the calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio that may indirectly affect pricing) or
(z) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their Obligations under the Guaranty except as contemplated by
Section 8.12.(b), in each case, as applicable to that portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations that are subject
to the participation. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4.
(subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10.(g) (it being
understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10.(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the
same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided
that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.6. 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 5.1. or 3.10.,
with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such
entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable
participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts
to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.6. with respect to any Participant. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.3. as though it were a Lender; provided
that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and
address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or
other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document)
to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or
other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in
the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no
responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
129
(e) 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.
(f) No
Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not
make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings
in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other
jurisdiction.
(g) USA
Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and Anti-Money
Laundering Laws, including without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction
outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender shall provide to
the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary

Section 13.6. Amendments and Waivers.
(a) Generally.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or
any other Loan Document (other than any fee letter solely between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) to be given by the Lenders
may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance
by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document (other than any
fee letter solely between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default or Event
of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with,
the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders), and, in
the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section, the Fee Letters may only be amended, and the performance or observance by any Loan Party thereunder
may only be waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto, as applicable.
(b) Affected
Lender Consents. Notwithstanding Section 13.6(a), no amendment, waiver or consent shall:
(i) increase,
extend or reinstate the Commitments of a Lender, modify the definition of “Availability Period” or “Availability Termination
Date” or subject a Lender to any additional obligations, in each case without the written consent of such Lender, or increase the
aggregate Commitments except as contemplated pursuant to Section 2.17.;
(ii) reduce
the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of interest that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of,
any Loans or other Obligations without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however,
only the written consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be required for (x) the waiver of interest payable at the Post-Default
Rate, retraction of the imposition of interest at the Post-Default Rate and amendment of the definition of “Post-Default
Rate”, or (y) changes to the calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio that may indirectly affect pricing or reduce any fee
payable hereunder;
(iii) reduce
the amount of any Fees payable to a Lender without the written consent of such Lender;
(iv) [reserved];
(v) modify
the definition of “Maturity Date”, or otherwise postpone any date fixed for, or forgive, any payment of principal of, or interest
on, any Loans or for the payment of Fees or any other Obligations owing to the Lenders, in each case, without the written consent of each
Lender;
(vi) while
any Loans remain outstanding, amend, modify or waive Section 6.2. or any other provision of this Agreement if the effect of
such amendment, modification or waiver is to require the Lenders to make Loans, in each case when such Lenders would not otherwise
be required to do so;
131
(vii) modify
the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2., Section 3.3. or
Section 11.5. without the written consent of each Lender;
(viii) amend
this Section or amend the definitions of the terms used in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents insofar as such definitions
affect the substance of this Section without the written consent of each Lender;
(ix) modify
the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required
to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof without the written consent of each Lender;
(x) [reserved];
(xi) [reserved]; or
(xii) release
any Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty (except as contemplated by Section 8.12.(b)), without the written
consent of each Lender;
it being understood and agreed that the consent of the Requisite
Lenders is not also necessary for the amendments approved by all affected Lenders pursuant to this clause (b).
(c) Amendment
of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative
Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan Document
that (i) diminishes the rights of a Specified Derivatives Provider or a Specified Cash Management Bank in a manner or to an
extent dissimilar to that affecting the Lenders or (ii) increases the liabilities or obligations of a Specified Derivatives
Provider or a Specified Cash Management Bank shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the
consent of the Lender that is (or having an Affiliate that is) such Specified Derivatives Provider or such Specified Cash Management
Bank, as applicable. 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 Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended without the written
consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each
affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the written
consent of such Defaulting Lender. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right
consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder
shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section,
notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the
occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to
or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
132
(d) Technical
Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.6., if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have
jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions
of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity,
omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders. Any such amendment
shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement, and the Administrative Agent shall
promptly make a copy of such amendment available to the Lenders.
(e) Replacement
Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.6., the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, without
the consent of any Lender (but subject to the absence of objection by Requisite Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 5.9.),
enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents
as the Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or otherwise effectuate the terms
of Section 5.9. in accordance with the terms of Section 5.9.
(f) [Reserved].
(g) Amend and Extend Transactions.
(i) The
Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an “Extension”)
of the maturity date of the Loans to the extended maturity date specified in such notice; provided that, an Extension may only
be requested to the extent that the Borrower shall have exercised its three rights to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.14.
Such notice shall (A) set forth the amount of the Loans that will be subject to the Extension (which shall be in a minimum amount
of $50,000,000 and minimum increments of $25,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other amounts as may be acceptable to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent)) and (B) set forth the date on which such Extension is requested to become effective (which shall be not
less than fifteen (15) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such Extension notice (or such longer or shorter
periods as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)). Each Lender shall be offered (an “Extension Offer”)
an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender pursuant
to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. If the aggregate principal amount
of Loans in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount
of Loans subject to the Extension Offer as set forth in the Extension notice, then the Loans of Lenders shall be extended ratably up
to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.
133
(ii) The
following shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension: (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (B) the representations and warranties
made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and
correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation
or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such effective date of such Extension with the same force and effect
as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier
date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case
of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all
respects) on and as of such earlier date), (C) [reserved] and (D) the terms of such Extended Loans
shall comply with subclause (iii) of this Section 13.6.(g). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to
the contrary, in no event shall the Loans of any Lender be extended pursuant to this Section 13.6.(g) unless such Lender affirmatively
accepts in writing the applicable Extension Offer, it being understood and agreed that a failure by a Lender to respond to any such Extension
Offer shall be deemed to be a rejection by such Lender of such Extension Offer.
(iii) The
terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment;
provided that (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Loan shall be no earlier than the latest maturity date then in
effect for the Loans, (B) the average life to maturity of the Extended Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining average life
to maturity of the existing Loans, (C) the Extended Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security
with the existing Loans and the borrower and guarantors of the Extended Loans, as applicable, shall be the same as the Borrower and Guarantors
with respect to the existing Loans, as applicable, (D) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and
premium applicable to any Extended Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders, (E) the Extended
Loans may participate on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or mandatory prepayments
with the other Loans and (F) the terms of the Extended Loans shall be substantially identical to the terms set forth herein (except
as set forth in sub-clauses (A) through (E) above).
(iv) In
connection with any Extension, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify
to evidence the Extension (including, without limitation, legal opinions consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date). The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension. Any Extension Amendment may,
without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary
or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to implement the terms of any such
Extension, including any amendments necessary to establish Extended Loans as a new tranche of Loans and such other technical
amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection
with the establishment of such new tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended tranches),
in each case on terms consistent with this Section 13.6.(g).
134
Section 13.7. Nonliability of
Administrative Agent and Lenders.
The relationship
between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders, the Sustainability Structuring Agent and the Administrative Agent, on the other
hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender
shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and
no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative
Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. None of
the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or
inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations. 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), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the
arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s-length
commercial transactions between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other
hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate,
and (C) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the
Arrangers and the Lenders 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 Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person
and (B) none of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender has any obligation to
the Borrower or any of its 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, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Arrangers and
the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those
of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, the Arrangers and the
Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted
by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring
Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect
of any transaction contemplated hereby.
135
Section 13.8. Confidentiality.
The Administrative Agent
and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) but in any event may make disclosure:
(a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ other 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); (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section,
to (i) any actual or proposed assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential transfer of any
Commitment or Loan or participation therein as permitted hereunder, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its
advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations; (c) as required or requested by
any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as
otherwise required by Applicable Law (in which case, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent
such disclosure is permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably practicable, inform the Borrower promptly in advance thereof, to the
extent reasonably practicable and, otherwise promptly thereafter); (d) to the Administrative Agent’s or such
Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of
the information); (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document (or any Specified Derivatives
Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document (or any Specified
Derivatives Contract or Specified Cash Management Agreement) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the
extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known
by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower; (g) to the extent requested by, or required to
be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it;
(h) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such
publications; (i) to any other party hereto; (j) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency
in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loan Documents; (k) for purposes of
establishing a “due diligence” defense; and (l) with the consent of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to the Borrower or any other
Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or
in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent or such Lender. As used in this Section, the term
“Information” means all information received from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate
relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other
Subsidiary or any Affiliate, provided that, in the case of any such information received from the Borrower, any other Loan
Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery
as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
136
Section 13.9. Indemnification.
(a) The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Sustainability Structuring Agent, each Lender and
each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Party”) against,
and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, and shall pay or reimburse any such Indemnified Party for, any and all losses, claims
(including without limitation, Environmental Claims), damages, liabilities and related expenses (including without limitation, the fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel for any Indemnified Party, incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified
Party by any Person (including the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary)) other than such Indemnified Party and its
Related Parties, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) 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 or thereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any
Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials
on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, or any Environmental Claim related
in any way to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation
or proceeding (an “Indemnity Proceeding”) relating to any of the
foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other Subsidiary, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, or (v) any claim (including without
limitation, any Environmental Claims), investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent or any
Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultant’s fees; provided, however, that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses
are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party to its Affiliates.
(b) If
and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees
to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.
(c) The
Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any of the other obligations set forth
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.
137
(d) This
Section 13.9. shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising
from any non-Tax claim.
References in this Section 13.9.
to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified
Derivatives Providers and Specified Cash Management Banks, as applicable.
Section 13.10. Termination;
Survival.
This Agreement shall
terminate at such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) [reserved], (c) none of the Lenders is obligated
any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the
following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full. The indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled
under the provisions of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4., 12.6., 13.2. and 13.9. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and the provisions of Section 13.4., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after
such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect
to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.
Section 13.11. Severability
of Provisions.
If any provision
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable,
that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan Documents.
Section 13.12. GOVERNING LAW.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL
BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY
PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.
Section 13.13. Counterparts.
To facilitate execution,
this Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts as may be convenient
or required (which may be effectively delivered by facsimile, in portable document format (“PDF”) or other similar
electronic means). It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons
required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not
be necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures
of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.
138
Section 13.14. Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties
and Subsidiaries.
The obligations
of the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries as specified herein shall
be absolute and not subject to any defense the Borrower may have that the Borrower does not control such Loan Parties or Subsidiaries.
Section 13.15. Independence of Covenants.
All covenants hereunder
shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants,
the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
Section 13.16. Limitation of Liability.
None of the Administrative
Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives,
releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages suffered
or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents
or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

This Agreement and
the other Loan Documents embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements,
representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted
or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. To the extent any
term of this Agreement is inconsistent with a term of any other Loan Document to which the parties of this Agreement are party, the term
of this Agreement shall control to the extent of such inconsistency. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.
Section 13.18. Construction.
The Administrative
Agent, the Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been
afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other

139
Section 13.20. Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In
of Affected Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party
hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability
is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to,
and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the
application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which
may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution,
its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments
of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
or
(iii) the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution
Authority.
Section 13.21. Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported
QFCs.
To the extent that
the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Specified Derivatives 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):
(a) 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.
140
(b) As used in this Section 13.21., the following terms have the following meanings:
(A) “BHC
Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with,
12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
(B) “Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(I) a
“covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b);
(II) a
“covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or
(III) a
“covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).
(C) “Default
Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81,
47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
(D) “QFC”
has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12. U.S.C
5390(c)(8)(D).
