Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 21, 2026, GCI Holdings,

LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GCI”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of GCI Liberty, Inc., a Nevada corporation

(“GCI Liberty”), agreed, subject to certain conditions, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests

in Q Gateway Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Quintillion”). The acquisition of Quintillion

(the “Transaction”) is being effected by GCI and GCI Liberty entering into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase

Agreement”) with Q Gateway Ultimate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”).

The terms of the Purchase

Agreement and certain other agreements to be entered into in connection with the Transaction are summarized below.

Purchase Agreement

Consideration. Pursuant

to the Purchase Agreement, and subject to the terms thereof, GCI will acquire all of the equity interests in Quintillion in exchange for

the following consideration payable to Seller: (a) $310 million in cash payable on the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing,”

and the date upon which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”), subject to adjustment for working capital, cash, indebtedness,

transaction expenses and certain capital expenditures; (b) within 30 days following the Closing Date, reimbursement of up to $50 million

for certain capital expenditures incurred by Quintillion prior to Closing in connection with the construction of the Nome-to-Homer Express

project; and (c) potential earn-out payments based on the amount by which certain gross revenues of Quintillion exceed agreed thresholds

in respect of the 2027, 2028 and 2030 calendar years, payable (if at all) in 2028, 2029 and 2031, respectively (collectively, the “Earnout

Payments”).

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,

GCI, in its sole discretion, may determine to satisfy its obligation to make the Earnout Payment in respect of the 2030 calendar year,

in whole or in part, through the issuance of Series C GCI Group Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of GCI Liberty (“Earnout

Consideration Stock”), subject to the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The value of any Earnout Consideration Stock

to be issued in satisfaction of the final Earnout Payment would be determined based upon the volume weighted average sales price per share

of Earnout Consideration Stock during the ten trading days after the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)

of GCI Liberty’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2030.

Closing Conditions.

In addition to customary conditions, the Closing is subject to the following conditions: (a) expiration or termination of the waiting

period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (b) the receipt of certain consents and approvals from

the Federal Communications Commission; (c) Quintillion’s fiber network being operational with no fiber outages that are not capable

of being remedied (so as to not be service-impacting) within 48 hours of such outage first occurring; (d) the completion of the construction

of the terrestrial fiber network between Quintillion’s network on the North Slope of Alaska and Utqiagvik, Alaska, the achievement

of such terrestrial fiber network being ready for service so as to enable the transmission of third-party data connectivity services on

such network on a commercial basis; and (e) there being no law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction.

Termination. In addition

to certain other termination provisions, the Purchase Agreement provides that the Purchase Agreement may be terminated by either GCI or

Seller if the Closing has not occurred within 18 months after the effective date of the Purchase Agreement (such date, the “End

Date”). Subject to certain exceptions, if the Purchase Agreement is terminated as a result of either (a) the failure to effect

the Closing by the End Date or (b) a law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Transaction, and at such time Seller is not in breach

of its regulatory efforts obligations and the conditions specific to GCI’s obligations to close have all been, or are capable of

being satisfied, then GCI would be required pay to Seller a fee equal to $10 million.

Representations and Warranties.

The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties made by each of the parties. GCI has obtained on a conditional

basis a representation and warranty insurance policy, under which the issuer of such policy will insure GCI and its affiliates against

certain claims, damages or other losses arising from breaches by Seller of its representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement,

subject to certain limitations and exclusions and other customary terms and conditions therein.

Covenants. Pursuant

to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, during the period between entry into the Purchase Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller has agreed,

among other things, except with the consent of GCI (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to operate Quintillion’s business

in the ordinary course, to use its reasonable best efforts to follow its capital expenditure schedule and to refrain from taking other

specified actions. Each of GCI and Seller have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to take, agree to take, or cause to be taken,

any and all actions and to do, or cause to be done, any and all things necessary, proper or advisable under any applicable law or otherwise,

so as to, as promptly as practicable, consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Registration Rights. In

connection with the Closing, GCI Liberty and Seller will enter into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which GCI Liberty will

agree to file with the SEC, as soon as practicable (and in any event within ten business days) following the issuance date of any Earnout

Consideration Stock, a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the resale on a delayed or continuous basis of any Earnout Consideration

Shares.

The foregoing description

of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by

the full text of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Purchase Agreement is

not intended to provide any other factual or financial information about GCI Liberty, GCI, Quintillion, Seller or their respective subsidiaries

and affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of that

Purchase Agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement; may be subject

to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by, among other things, confidential disclosures, and may have been

made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement instead of establishing these matters

as facts. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations

of the actual state of facts or condition of GCI Liberty, GCI, Quintillion, Seller or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates.

Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the

Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in GCI Liberty’s public disclosures. Investors

should read the Purchase Agreement together with the other information that GCI Liberty publicly files in reports and statements with

the SEC.

Term Loan Credit Agreement with Seller

Concurrent with the entry

into the Purchase Agreement, GCI, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of GCI Liberty, as lender, Seller,

as borrower (the “Q Borrower”), and Acquiom Agency Services LLC, as administrative agent, entered into a Term Loan

Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) providing, subject to the satisfaction of certain condition precedents, for

a term loan in an initial principal amount of $160 million (the “Upfront Loan”), which amount may increase pursuant

to the paid-in-kind interest provisions of the Credit Agreement.

The Upfront Loan

bears interest at the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus

a margin of 8.50% (with, subject to certain conditions, up to SOFR plus 2.00% payable in cash and the remainder paid-in-kind). Any amounts

repaid on the Upfront Loan may not be reborrowed.

The Upfront Loan will (a)

automatically be deemed paid in full upon the closing of the Transaction, with such outstanding amounts credited toward the purchase price

in the Transaction or (b) if the Transaction does not close, mature on April 21, 2031. The Upfront Loan must be repaid at maturity in

cash by the Q Borrower. Payment of the Upfront Loan may also be accelerated following certain customary events of default.

The payment and performance

by the Q Borrower of the obligations under the Credit Agreement are not guaranteed or secured by it or any of its subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains

certain customary covenants, including covenants that restrict the Q Borrower and its subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) from,

among other things: incurring additional indebtedness; creating liens on its assets; making certain capital expenditures; making certain

investments; and disposing of certain assets.

The foregoing description

of the Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Credit Agreement, a copy

of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

using the same methods, and applying the same principles as the corresponding line item was calculated for purposes of determining the

illustrative calculation of Closing Working Capital as of December 31, 2025 (as if such date were the Closing Date), set forth on

Exhibit D; and

(ii)           a

true, correct and accurate schedule (the “Closing Payment Disbursement Schedule”) that sets forth: (A) the Closing

Date Payment, as determined pursuant to Section 2.4(b), due to the Seller and the applicable account or accounts of the Seller

to which the funds should be wired on the Closing Date; (B) the Person(s) to which the Company Transaction Expenses are due,

the applicable amounts due to such Person(s) and the applicable accounts to which the funds should be wired on the Closing Date;

The Seller shall use its reasonable

than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments to each such pre-Closing deliverable

made by Purchaser prior to the final delivery of such pre-Closing deliverable in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.4(a).

Concurrently with the delivery of the preliminary draft of the Pre-Closing Statement and Closing Payment Disbursement Schedule, the Seller

shall deliver to Purchaser reasonable documentation in the possession of the Seller or any of its Affiliates to support the items for

which any adjustments are proposed or made to the preliminary draft of the Pre-Closing Statement delivered by the Seller and a brief explanation

of any such adjustments and the reasons therefor.

(b)            At

Closing, the Closing Payment Amount shall be adjusted based on the Pre-Closing Statement by the following amounts in the following manner

(without duplication):

(i)            increased

by the estimated amount of the Closing Cash Amount;

(ii)           either

(A) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, or (B) decreased

by the amount, if any, by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Working Capital, as applicable;

(iii)         decreased

by the amount of the Estimated Indebtedness;

(iv)         decreased

by the estimated amount of any unpaid Company Transaction Expenses;

(v)          decreased

by the Purchase Price Escrow Amount; and

(vi)         decreased

by the UEGS CapEx Adjustment.

The net amount resulting from

the adjustments of the Closing Payment Amount as set forth in this Section 2.4(b) shall be referred to herein as the

“Closing Date Payment”; provided, that if such net amount is less than zero, the amount by which such net amount

is less than zero shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date Shortfall Amount” and the Closing Date Payment for

purposes of the Pre-Closing Statement shall be deemed to be zero.

Closing Date Shortfall Amount shall be set off from the Estimated NTHE Reimbursement payable to the Seller based upon a NTHE Initial Statement

prepared in good faith by the Seller and using its reasonable best efforts and delivered together with the Pre-Closing Statement; provided,

that in the event the Closing Date Shortfall Amount exceeds such Estimated NTHE Reimbursement, then the Seller shall cause the Equity

Financing Source to fund the remaining portion of such Closing Date Shortfall Amount from the Equity Commitment Letter and the Seller

shall deliver such amount to Purchaser in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds; provided, further, in no

event shall the Seller be required to pay any Closing Date Shortfall Amount in excess of the Estimated NTHE Reimbursement and the amount

of funds available under the Equity Commitment Letter. Other than with respect to the set-off of the Estimated NTHE Reimbursement, Purchaser

shall have no right to withhold, set-off or deduct from any sum that is or may be owed to Seller pursuant to this Agreement the portion

of the Closing Date Shortfall Amount that remains unpaid.

provided that if the applicable payor is Purchaser or its Affiliates then the applicable payor shall provide the applicable payee

with no less than five Business Days written notice prior to withholding any amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7, and shall

work in good faith with such payee to eliminate or reduce any such withheld or deducted amounts. Each party agrees and acknowledges that,

as of the date of this Agreement, it is not aware of any Tax Law that would require Purchaser to withhold from amounts payable under this

Agreement to the Seller (other than compensatory payments) if Purchaser has in its possession at all relevant times on and after the Closing

Date a properly completed and executed valid IRS Form W-9 from the Seller establishing that payments to the Seller are not subject

Section 2.8.         Post-Closing

Adjustment. The Closing Payment Amount shall be adjusted following the Closing as provided in this Section 2.8:

(a)            Within

90 calendar days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare in good faith and deliver to the Seller a statement (the “Post-Closing

Statement”) that sets forth: (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Group Companies as of the Closing Date;

(ii) Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Cash Amount; (iii) Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Working Capital;

(iv) Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Indebtedness; (v) Purchaser’s calculation of the unpaid Company Transaction

Expenses as of the Closing Date; (vi) Purchaser’s calculation of the UEGS CapEx Adjustment; and (vii) Purchaser’s

calculation of the Closing Date Payment based on the foregoing amounts (instead of the estimated amounts in the Pre-Closing Statement)

and the deposit of the Purchase Price Escrow Amount. In the event that Purchaser shall fail to deliver the Post-Closing Statement within

the 90-day period provided in this Section 2.8(a), at the Seller’s option, the Pre-Closing Statement, and the calculation

of the Closing Payment Amount included therein, shall be treated as the Post-Closing Statement for all purposes hereof and the Seller

may deliver a Statement of Objections objecting to such Post-Closing Statement in accordance with Section 2.8(b) (with

the expiration of the 90-day period provided in this Section 2.8(a) as being the deemed date of receipt of the Post-Closing

Statement for purposes of Section 2.8(b)).

(b)            The

Seller shall have 45 calendar days from receipt of the Post-Closing Statement (the “Review Period”) to review such

Post-Closing Statement (including Purchaser’s determination of the Closing Payment Amount). In connection with the Seller’s

review of the Post-Closing Statement, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Group Companies and their respective Affiliates and Representatives

to (i) give, to the Seller and its Representatives, reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance written

notice, to the relevant books and records of the Group Companies and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to cause the personnel of Purchaser

or the Group Companies or their respective accountants and Representatives to reasonably cooperate with the Seller and its Representatives,

including by providing access to such historical financial information relating to any of the Group Companies as the Seller or its Representatives

may reasonably request, in each case, in order to permit review of the Post-Closing Statement by the Seller in accordance with this Section 2.8(b).

If the Seller has accepted such Post-Closing Statement in writing or has not given written notice to Purchaser setting forth any objections

to the Post-Closing Statement, which notice shall include, to the extent practicable, specific adjustments that the Seller propose be

made to the Post-Closing Statement (a “Statement of Objections”), prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then

the Post-Closing Statement (including the determination of the Closing Payment Amount) shall be final and binding upon the parties. In

the event that the Seller delivers a Statement of Objections during the Review Period, each of Purchaser and the Seller shall use its

reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections within 30 calendar days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) following

the receipt by Purchaser of such Statement of Objections (the “Dispute Period”) (any objection that remains unresolved

following the Dispute Period, a “Dispute”). After such Dispute Period, any item or matter that is not a Dispute shall

become final and binding. If Purchaser and the Seller are unable to resolve all objections during the Dispute Period, then any remaining

Disputes, and only such remaining Disputes, shall be resolved by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or, if PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not

available for such engagement or at the time of such proposed engagement is no longer independent, such other internationally recognized

independent certified public accounting firm reasonably agreed to by Purchaser and the Seller (the “Accounting Firm”).

The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to resolve any such remaining Disputes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within 60

calendar days after its appointment and to consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Post-Closing Statement as to which the

Seller has specified and set forth their disagreement in a Statement of Objections and which Purchaser and the Seller have not resolved.

In resolving any such disagreement, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to such item greater than the greatest value for such item

claimed by Purchaser in the Post-Closing Statement or by the Seller in the Statement of Objections or less than the lowest value for such

item claimed by Purchaser in the Post-Closing Statement or by the Seller in the Statement of Objections. Once appointed, the Accounting

Firm shall have no ex parte communications with any of the parties concerning the expert determination or the underlying dispute

and shall only have communications with the Seller and/or Purchaser as provided in this Section 2.8(b). All communications

between the Seller and/or the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Accounting Firm, on the other hand, shall be conducted in writing, with

copies sent simultaneously to the Seller and the Purchaser, as applicable, or at a meeting (which may be electronic or telephonic) involving

both the Seller and the Purchaser where both the Seller and the Purchaser have been provided at least five Business Days’ advance

written notice or at such shorter time as Purchaser and the Seller may agree upon in writing. In resolving such Disputes, the Accounting

Firm will function as an expert and not an arbitrator. The resolution of such Disputes by the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and

binding upon the parties, absent intentional fraud or manifest error (provided that such manifest error can only be corrected by the Accounting

Firm). During the review by the Accounting Firm, Purchaser, the Seller and their respective accountants shall each make available to the

Accounting Firm such information, books and records and work papers as may be required by the Accounting Firm to fulfill its obligations

pursuant to this Section 2.8(b).

of Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall pay its own respective costs and expenses incurred in connection

with this Section 2.8 and be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm on a pro rata basis based on the

amount of the adjustment relative to the respective positions of Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand (which

shall be determined by the Accounting Firm and set forth in the Accounting Firm’s resolution).

(d)            The

Post-Closing Statement, as prepared and determined pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be deemed final and binding for all

purposes upon the earliest of: (i) the failure of the Seller to deliver a Statement of Objections to Purchaser prior to the expiration

of the Review Period; (ii) the resolution of all Disputes pursuant to Section 2.8(b) by the Seller and Purchaser;

and (iii) the resolution of all Disputes pursuant to Section 2.8(b) by the Accounting Firm. “Closing Statement”

shall mean the Post-Closing Statement, as finally determined (including by modification or adjustment) pursuant to the terms and conditions

of this Section 2.8, and “Final Closing Payment Amount” means the Closing Payment Amount, as set forth

in the Closing Statement, as finally determined (including by modification or adjustment) pursuant to the terms and conditions of this

Section 2.8.

(e)             If

the Final Closing Payment Amount exceeds the Closing Date Payment (such excess amount, the “Seller Adjustment Amount”),

then within five Business Days after the Closing Statement and the Final Closing Payment Amount have been determined pursuant to this

Section 2.8, (i) Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Seller the Seller Adjustment Amount, by wire transfer

of immediately available funds, in accordance with the wire transfer instructions designated in writing by the Seller to Purchaser; and

(ii) Purchaser and the Seller shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release

to the Seller all funds in the Purchase Price Escrow Account, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in accordance with the

wire transfer instructions designated in writing by the Seller to the Escrow Agent.

(f)             If

the Closing Date Payment exceeds the Final Closing Payment Amount (such excess amount, the “Purchaser Adjustment Amount”),

then within five Business Days after the Closing Statement and the Final Closing Payment Amount have been determined pursuant to this

Section 2.8, Purchaser and the Seller shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow

Agent to (i) release to Purchaser, solely from the funds available in the Purchase Price Escrow Account, an amount up to the Purchaser

Adjustment Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in accordance with the wire transfer instructions designated in writing

by Purchaser to the Escrow Agent and (ii) release to the Seller, to the extent that any balance in the Purchase Price Escrow Account

remains after the Escrow Agent’s payment of the Purchaser Adjustment Amount to Purchaser pursuant to clause (i), the amount remaining

in the Purchase Price Escrow Account, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in accordance with the wire transfer instructions

designated in writing by the Seller to the Escrow Agent; provided that, in the event the Purchaser Adjustment Amount exceeds the

Purchase Price Escrow Amount, Purchaser shall have the right (unless any Closing Date Shortfall Amount remains after the application of

Section 2.4(c), in which event Purchaser shall have no set-off right with respect to the portion of the Purchaser Adjustment

Amount that exceeds the Purchase Price Escrow Amount) to withhold, set-off and deduct from any sum that is or may be owed to Seller pursuant

to Section 5.17 the portion of the Purchaser Adjustment Amount that exceeds the funds available in the Purchase Price Escrow

Account.

(g)            The

parties acknowledge and agree that:

(i)            Purchaser’s

recovery of any amount from the Purchase Price Escrow Amount shall not reduce, offset, or otherwise affect any claim for indemnification

to which Purchaser may be entitled pursuant to Article 8, and any such indemnification claim shall be recoverable without

regard to any amounts recovered by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.8(f); and

(ii)           the

pendency of any dispute regarding the Final Closing Payment Amount shall not delay, suspend, or otherwise affect Purchaser’s right

to assert claims for indemnification pursuant to Article 8.

third party relating to (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) antitrust, communications, or Alaskan

regulatory Laws, Purchaser and the Seller shall consult and cooperate with the other party and shall consider in good faith the views

so long as such determination does not otherwise breach any provision in this Agreement.

Section 5.6.           Public

Announcements. None of Purchaser, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates will issue or make any press release or public

statement with respect to this Agreement or transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of Purchaser, on one hand if the

Affiliates, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements or any material notice,

letter or other written communication received from a Governmental Authority relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

or the other Transaction Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a party’s good faith failure to comply with

this Section 5.8 shall not provide the other party the right not to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

or to assert a claim for breach of this Agreement, except if any other provision of this Agreement would independently provide such right.

No such notification shall (i) be deemed to modify, amend or supplement the representations or warranties (including the Disclosure

Schedule) or any agreement given or made by a party, (ii) modify the conditions set forth in Article 6 or (iii) limit

Section 5.9.           Tax

Matters.

(a)             Preparation

(i)             The

Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns required to be filed on or prior

to the Closing Date by any Group Company with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Seller Return”). All such Tax

Returns shall be prepared in accordance with past practices of the applicable Group Company, except as otherwise required by applicable

Law or as otherwise expressly provided herein; provided that if there are no applicable past practices, the Seller shall exercise

its reasonable discretion in the preparation of such Tax Return.

(ii)            Each

Seller Return that is an income Tax Return that has not been filed prior to the date of this Agreement shall be delivered to Purchaser

no later than 30 days prior to the due date for filing such Tax Return (taking into account applicable extensions) for Purchaser’s

review and comment, and all reasonable comments submitted by Purchaser to the Seller on or before the date that is the later of (1) ten

days prior to such due date for filing (taking into account applicable extensions) or (2) 20 days after such Seller Return is delivered

to Purchaser shall be incorporated in such Seller Return for original filing; provided that, if such a Seller Return is due (taking

into account any applicable extensions) within 30 days after the date of this Agreement, the Seller shall instead provide Purchaser an

opportunity to review and comment on such Seller Return that is reasonable under the circumstances.

(iii)           Purchaser

shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns required to be filed after the Closing

Date by any Group Company with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, including any Tax Returns with respect to a Straddle Period.

(b)             Transfer

Taxes. All Transfer Taxes shall be paid 50% by the Seller and 50% by Purchaser. All Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes shall

be timely filed by the party responsible for such filing under applicable Law. If Purchaser or any Group Company pays a Transfer Tax

at or after the Closing, the Seller will reimburse such Person for the Seller’s share thereof within five Business Days of such

Person’s written demand therefor. If the Seller pays a Transfer Tax at or after the Closing, Purchaser will reimburse the Seller

for Purchaser’s share thereof within five Business Days of the Seller’s written demand therefor.

Price Adjustment. Each of Purchaser and the Seller shall treat any payment made pursuant to Section 2.8(e), Section 2.8(f),

Section 5.9, Section 5.16, Section 5.17 or Article 8 as an adjustment to the Closing

Payment Amount for all Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law, and the relevant party shall bear any applicable

Tax consequences resulting from such an adjustment to the Closing Payment Amount, in accordance with the applicable Law.

(d)             Allocation

of Taxes.

(i)            For

all purposes of this Agreement, the portion of any Taxes for a Straddle Period that are properly allocable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period

shall (i) with respect to any Taxes based upon or related to income or other Taxes based on or measured by receipts, payroll, or

sales, or other non-periodic Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on and included

the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass through entity in which a Group Company owns

a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time), and (ii) with respect to any property Taxes or other Taxes not

described in the foregoing clause (i), be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction,

the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which

is the number of days in the entire taxable period.

(ii)            For

purposes of allocating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Post-Closing Tax Period any franchise Tax or similar Taxes imposed in connection

with the right to do business, the taxable period shall mean the accounting period with respect to which the Tax is calculated, and not

(if different) the privilege period with respect to which the right to do business is conferred.

(e)             Tax

Cooperation. Each of Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall provide the other with such information

and records, and make such of its officers, directors, employees and agents available, as may reasonably be requested by the other in

connection with the preparation of any Tax Return of a Group Company with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or the conduct of any audit

or other proceeding relating to Taxes or Tax Returns of a Group Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. Without limiting the generality

of the foregoing, the Seller shall:

(i)             at

the reasonable request of Purchaser, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, cooperate with Purchaser and the Group Companies in

causing to be made a timely “push-out” election described in Section 6226 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder

(or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law), or causing to be taken any action permitted under Section 6225(c) of

the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign Law), with respect to any “imputed

underpayment” or adjustment (or portion thereof) relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period for which the applicable Group Company

was treated as a partnership for applicable tax purposes (including by exercising any Contract rights of the Seller to compel such an

election or action);

(ii)            at

the reasonable request of Purchaser, cooperate with Purchaser and the Group Companies in causing the revocation of any designation of,

or obtaining the resignation of, any Partnership Representative or any Designated Individual for any of the Group Companies for any Pre-Closing

Tax Period for which such Group Company was treated as a partnership for applicable tax purposes and in causing the designation or appointment

of a replacement Partnership Representative and/or Designated Individual, in each case of Purchaser’s choosing (including, in each

case, by exercising any Contract rights of the Seller to compel such action); and

(iii)          cause

to be promptly provided to Purchaser any notices, correspondence or written communication with respect to the Group Companies received

from a Governmental Authority by the Seller.

(f)             Tax

Treatment. Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the acquisition of the Purchased Securities pursuant to this Agreement

is intended to be characterized and shall be reported for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and for any applicable state, local or non-U.S.

income Tax purposes to the extent permitted under applicable Law) as the sale and purchase of the assets (other than Equity Securities

of any Person that is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company that

are treated as disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes (collectively, the “Tax Allocation Assets”)

in accordance with Section 1001 of the Code.

(g)             Company

Asset Valuations.

(i)            For

U.S. federal income (and applicable state and local) Tax purposes, the parties agree that the Final Closing Payment Amount (and other

items constituting consideration for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) (the “Closing Consideration”), will be allocated

among the Tax Allocation Assets in accordance with the provisions of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(ii)           After

the Closing, Purchaser shall prepare an allocation of the Closing Consideration among the Tax Allocation Assets in accordance with Section 1060

of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and the methodology set forth in Exhibit E (the “Allocation”).

Purchaser shall deliver the Allocation to the Seller for approval no later than 90 days following the determination of the Final Closing

Payment Amount in accordance with Section 2.8.

(iii)          Purchaser

and the Seller will work together in good faith to agree upon a final Allocation within 60 days following the Seller’s receipt

of Purchaser’s Allocation or such longer period as mutually agreed to by Purchaser and the Seller (the “Allocation Negotiation

Period”). If Purchaser and the Seller reach agreement on an Allocation within the Allocation Negotiation Period (such Allocation,

the “Final Allocation”), each party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, (1) file all Tax Returns

and other applicable Tax documents in all respects consistent with the Final Allocation, (2) not take any position for Tax purposes

(whether in Tax proceedings, Tax Returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the Final Allocation and (3) ‎promptly advise

the other parties regarding the existence of any Tax proceeding related to the Final Allocation‎ and reasonably cooperate in good

faith in responding to any such Tax proceeding; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement will prevent a party or any

of its Affiliates from negotiating, compromising or settling any proposed ‎deficiency or adjustment or other Tax proceeding based

upon or arising out of the Allocation, and ‎no party or its Affiliates will be required to litigate before any Governmental Authority

any proposed deficiency or ‎adjustment or other Tax proceeding challenging the Allocation, as applicable. If Purchaser and the Seller

are not able to reach mutual agreement on a Final Allocation within the Allocation Negotiation Period, each party shall be entitled to

determine its own Allocation.

(h)            Tax

Sharing Agreements. Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall (and shall cause its Affiliates, including the Group Companies, to) take

such actions as may be necessary to (i) terminate any and all Tax Sharing Agreements between a Group Company, on the one hand, and

the Seller or its Affiliates (other than a Group Company), on the other hand, and (ii) pay, settle or otherwise discharge any amounts

due under any such Tax Sharing Agreement.

(i)              Tax

Forms. If any IRS form delivered pursuant to Section 2.5(c) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect

prior to the final payment of the Purchase Price, the Seller shall promptly provide to Purchaser an updated IRS Form W-9 (or equivalent

form) reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.

(j)              Tax

Actions. From and after the Closing until the determination of the Final Closing Payment Amount pursuant to Section 2.8,

without the consent of the Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit

any of its Affiliates (including any Group Company) to (i) make any Tax election with respect to a Group Company in a manner that

would increase the Taxes of a Group Company, (ii) amend any Tax Return of a Group Company in a manner that would increase the Taxes

of a Group Company, (iii) initiate any voluntary disclosure with respect to Taxes of a Group Company, or (iv) voluntarily approach

a Governmental Authority with respect to Taxes of a Group Company, in each case, with respect to any Tax period (or portion thereof)

ending on or before the Closing Date for a Tax that would be taken into account in the calculation of the Final Closing Payment Amount.

Other than as contemplated under this Agreement (or any other Contract with the Seller) or as required by Law, Purchaser shall not, and

shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including the any Group Company) to, take any action with respect to a Group Company outside

the Ordinary Course of Business on the Closing Date after the Closing that would reasonably be expected to increase the amount of Taxes

directly imposed on the Seller.

information of the Business as such Applicable Reporting Company may reasonably require in order to obtain or develop historical or pro

forma financial information and other disclosures required by such Applicable Reporting Company to comply with its public reporting obligations

under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, including but not limited

interpretive guidance promulgated by the SEC, including in connection with any report required to be filed under the Exchange Act (each,

an “Exchange Act Report”) or any registration statement (including any pre- or post-effective amendment thereto or

any prospectus or prospectus supplement in respect thereof, each a “Registration Statement & Prospectus”),

Report or Registration Statement & Prospectus and (B) reasonably obtainable by the Seller, and (ii) use reasonable

best efforts to cause the Group Companies’ independent public accountants to provide any consent necessary for the filing of such

documents (at the sole expense of Purchaser) with respect to financial information for time periods before the Closing relating to the

required to reimburse the Seller or any Group Company for any costs and expenses incurred by the Seller or any Group Company with respect

to financial statements, financial information or other materials (x) prepared prior to the date hereof that may be used in connection

with the preparation of any Exchange Act Report or Registration Statement & Prospectus or (y) prepared after the date hereof

and hold harmless the Seller and, prior to the Closing, the Group Companies from and against any and all Damages suffered or incurred

by them in connection with the matters described in this Section 5.10(b) or any action taken by them pursuant to the

requirements of this Section 5.10(b) or requested of them by Purchaser in connection with the matters contemplated by

this Section 5.10(b), except to the extent suffered or incurred as a result of the gross negligence or Fraud of the Seller

or, prior to the Closing, any Group Company.

such Law, binding agreement, legal privilege or attorney-client privilege solely to the extent the Group Companies are able to do so

without violating the applicable obligation or compromising privilege), (v) require the Group Companies to take any action that

will conflict with or violate their Company Organizational Documents as in effect on the date hereof, any Laws or result in a violation

or breach of, or default under, any agreement to which the Group Companies are a party as of the date hereof, (vi) require the Seller

or any Group Company to pay any commitment or other similar fee prior to the Closing or incur any other liability or other obligation

any Group Company to incur any personal liability, (viii) provide access to or disclose information that is subject to attorney-client

privilege of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or cause a violation of applicable Law or confidentiality obligation, (ix) disclose

information that would reasonably be likely to cause significant competitive harm to the Group Companies or Business if the transactions

risk from an antitrust or competition Law point of view, (x) disclose information that constitutes a trade secret, or (xi) disclose

information or provide access to any Person that is not bound by the terms of a confidentiality agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

that would create material risk from an antitrust or competition Law point of view, (2) disclose information subject to attorney-client

privilege, (3) disclose information that constitutes a trade secret or (4) disclose information or provide access to any Person

that is not bound by similar terms as the Confidentiality Agreement.

Date. The Seller agrees to cooperate and assist with Purchaser’s reasonable requests to communicate with such employees in connection

with such solicitation. Each such employee who receives and accepts an offer for such continued employment and commences such continued

employment on the Closing Date is referred to herein as a “Continuing Employee.” With respect to each such employee

who does not receive and accept an offer for such continued employment, on Purchaser’s written notice to the Seller delivered no

the extent such amounts were included as Company Transaction Expenses or Closing Indebtedness; provided, further, that

the Seller shall not be required to reimburse Purchaser for any such amounts, and any such reimbursement payment previously made by the

Seller shall be promptly refunded by Purchaser, if Purchaser rehires or retains in any service provider capacity (other than pursuant

to a Consulting Agreement) any such terminated Continuing Employee within six months following the termination date.

(d)            Unless

all actions necessary to terminate each Company Plan that is entered into, sponsored, maintained, contributed to, or required to be contributed

to, by a Group Company, including to fully vest all participant accounts under the Company 401(k) Plan. All resolutions, notices,

participant communications or other documents issued, adopted or executed in connection with the termination of such Company Plans shall

be subject to Purchaser’s prior review and reasonable approval.

Seller and the Group Companies shall be responsible for providing a COBRA notice to each employee of a Group Company whose employment

anything in this Section 5.14 to the contrary, nothing contained herein, whether express or implied, shall be treated as

an establishment, amendment or other modification of any Company Plan or any employee benefit plan of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates,

or shall limit the right of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Company Plan or other employee

benefit plan following the Closing Date. The Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.14

are included for their sole benefit, and that nothing in this Section 5.14, whether express or implied, shall create any

third-party beneficiary or other rights: (i) in any other Person, including any Service Provider, any participant in any Company

Plan or employee benefit plan of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (ii) to continued

employment with Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or to any particular term or condition of employment.

(g)            During

the Interim Period, the Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing if any Group Company hires any Service Provider or terminates

the employment or engagement of any Service Provider.

Section 5.15.        Intercompany

Debt. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, prior to Closing, the Seller shall cause all outstanding Indebtedness owed by the Group

for any amount with respect to or in connection with such Indebtedness.

Section 5.16.        NTHE

Reimbursement.

(a)            The

Seller shall cause the Group Companies to use reasonable best efforts to (i) (A) purchase and make any and all capital commitments

and capital expenditures (whether by way of purchase, lease or otherwise) in amounts and at times and for purposes consistent in all

material respects with the Ordinary Course of Business on the date of this Agreement as described in the Projected CapEx Schedule, and

(B) take all actions required to be taken in order to execute and effectuate the Projected CapEx Schedule, (ii) operate in

accordance with the Projected CapEx Schedule, and otherwise use reasonable best efforts to take all actions required to be taken in order

to execute and effectuate the Projected CapEx Schedule and (iii) not materially deviate from the Projected CapEx Schedule (with

respect to the schedule for completion of any particular project, amounts of capital commitments or capital expenditures, or otherwise),

in each case without the prior written consent of Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided,

that such prior written consent of Purchaser shall not be required to the extent that the Seller’s failure to comply with any provision

of this Section 5.16(a) is due to project delays outside the reasonable control of the Seller and the Group Companies,

and the Group Companies shall be permitted to make additional capital expenditures in the Ordinary Course of Business.

(b)            The

Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser at the Closing a written statement (the “NTHE Initial Statement”) containing

the Seller’s good faith calculations of (i) the Projected NTHE CapEx, (ii) the amount of NTHE CapEx incurred by the Group

Companies prior to the Closing and (iii) the Estimated NTHE Reimbursable Amount, if any, together with reasonable supporting detail.

During the 20-day period after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the opportunity to provide to the Seller any comments regarding

the NTHE Initial Statement, and the Seller shall consider in good faith any comments to the NTHE Initial Statement provided by Purchaser

during such period. Each of Purchaser and the Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve any objections raised by Purchaser

regarding the NTHE Initial Statement as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 25 calendar days after the Closing Date. Thereafter,

the Seller shall promptly (but in any event within 25 days after the Closing Date) deliver to Purchaser an updated NTHE Initial Statement

containing updated calculations.

30 calendar days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount of cash (the “Estimated NTHE Reimbursement”)

equal to the lesser of (i) the Estimated NTHE Reimbursable Amount and (ii) the amount of NTHE CapEx incurred by the Group Companies

prior to the Closing, in each case as determined based on the latest NTHE Initial Statement delivered by the Seller pursuant to Section 5.16(b);

provided, that if any Closing Date Shortfall Amount remained after the application of Section 2.4(c), then the Seller shall

not be entitled to, and Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay, any Estimated NTHE Reimbursement.

(d)            Within

90 calendar days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing of whether Purchaser agrees with the Seller’s

calculation of the amount of NTHE CapEx incurred by the Group Companies prior to the Closing, as set forth in the latest NTHE Initial

Statement. If Purchaser agrees with the Seller’s calculation of the amount of NTHE CapEx incurred by the Group Companies prior

to the Closing, as set forth in the latest NTHE Initial Statement, then such determination shall be final and binding upon the parties.

If Purchaser does not agree with the Seller’s calculation of the amount of NTHE CapEx incurred by the Group Companies prior to

the Closing, as set forth in the NTHE Initial Statement, then Purchaser shall give written notice to the Seller setting forth any objections

to such calculation, which notice shall include specific adjustments with reasonable supporting detail that Purchaser proposes be made

to the NTHE Initial Statement. In the event Purchaser delivers such notice to the Seller, each of Purchaser and the Seller shall use

its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections within 30 calendar days (or such longer period as they mutually agree) following

the receipt by the Seller of Purchaser’s notice of objections. If within 30 calendar days (or such longer period as mutually agreed)

after the Seller receives the Purchaser’s notice of objections, Purchaser and the Seller do not agree on the amount of NTHE CapEx

incurred by the Group Companies prior to the Closing, then such disputed matters shall be submitted to the Accounting Firm, and the parties

shall follow the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.8(b) but with respect to the determination

of disputes concerning the NTHE Initial Statement rather than with respect to the determination of Disputes concerning the Post-Closing

Statement.

(e)            Within

five Business Days after the final determination of the amount of NTHE CapEx incurred by the Group Companies prior to the Closing pursuant

to Section 5.16(d), the Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount of cash (the “NTHE Initial True-up”) equal

to the excess, if any, of (i) the Estimated NTHE Reimbursement paid by Purchaser to the Seller pursuant to Section 5.16(c) over

(ii) the adjusted amount of NTHE CapEx incurred by the Group Companies prior to the Closing as determined pursuant to Section 5.16(d).

(f)            Within

20 calendar days after the NTHE System RFS, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a written statement (the “NTHE

Final Statement”) containing Purchaser’s good faith calculations of (i) the Final NTHE CapEx and (ii) the Final

NTHE Reimbursable Amount, if any, together with reasonable supporting detail. The “Final NTHE Reimbursement” means

the lesser of (A) the Final NTHE Reimbursable Amount and (B) the amount of NTHE CapEx incurred by the Group Companies prior

to the Closing.

(g)            The

Seller shall have ten calendar days from the receipt of the NTHE Final Statement to review such NTHE Final Statement (including Purchaser’s

determination of the Final NTHE Reimbursable Amount). If the Seller has accepted the NTHE Final Statement in writing or has not given

written notice to Purchaser setting forth any objections to the NTHE Final Statement, which notice shall include specific adjustments

with reasonable supporting detail that the Seller proposes be made to the NTHE Final Statement, prior to the expiration of such ten-day

review period, then the NTHE Final Statement shall be final and binding upon the parties. In the event that the Seller objects to the

NTHE Final Statement, then each of Purchaser and the Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections within ten

calendar days (or such longer period as they mutually agree) following the receipt by Purchaser of the Seller’s notice of objections.

If within ten calendar days after the Seller receives the NTHE Final Statement, Purchaser and the Seller do not agree on the amount of

the Final NTHE Reimbursable Amount, then such disputed matters shall be submitted to the Accounting Firm, and the parties shall follow

the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.8(b) but with respect to the determination of disputes concerning

the NTHE Final Statement rather than with respect to the determination of Disputes concerning the Post-Closing Statement.

(h)           If

(i) the Final NTHE Reimbursement exceeds the Estimated NTHE Reimbursement (as reduced by the NTHE Initial True-up, if any) (such

excess amount, the “NTHE Purchaser Adjustment”), then Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, the NTHE Purchaser

Adjustment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller in accordance with written instructions provided by the Seller;

provided, that if any Closing Date Shortfall Amount remained after the application of Section 2.4(c), then the Seller

shall not be entitled to, and Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay, any NTHE Purchaser Adjustment; and (ii) the Estimated NTHE

Reimbursement (as reduced by the NTHE Initial True-up, if any) exceeds the Final NTHE Reimbursement (such excess amount, the “NTHE

Seller Adjustment”), then the Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, the NTHE Seller Adjustment by wire transfer of immediately

available funds to Purchaser in accordance with written instructions provided by Purchaser. Any payment pursuant to this Section 5.16(h) shall

be made within five Business Days after the Final NTHE Reimbursement has been determined pursuant to Section 5.16(g).

Section 5.17.        Earn-Out.

(a)            Following

the Closing, as additional consideration for the Seller’s sale of the Purchased Securities, the Seller shall be entitled to receive

from Purchaser (subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 5.17) payments of cash or, at Purchaser’s

election, GCI Common Stock (the “Earn-out Payments”) as determined in accordance with Section 5.17(b) and

Section 5.17(d).

(b)            Earn-out

Payments.

(i)            Growth

Performance Participation Payments.

(A)            If

the Gross Revenue for, (1) if Closing occurs in the calendar year 2026, the calendar year ending December 31, 2027 or (2) if

Closing occurs in the calendar year 2027, the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2027 (the “Initial

Earn-out Year”) exceeds the Gross Revenue Threshold with respect to the Initial Earn-out Year, the Seller shall be entitled

to receive an Earn-out Payment with respect to the Initial Earn-out Year in an amount equal to 50% of the amount by which the Gross Revenue

exceeds the Gross Revenue Threshold in the Initial Earn-out Year from Purchaser.

(B)            If

the Gross Revenue for the calendar year ending December 31, 2028 (the “Interim Earn-out Year”) exceeds the Gross

Revenue Threshold with respect to the Interim Earn-out Year, the Seller shall be entitled to receive an Earn-out Payment with respect

to the Interim Earn-out Year in an amount equal to 50% of the amount by which the Gross Revenue exceeds the Gross Revenue Threshold in

the Interim Earn-out Year from Purchaser.

the avoidance of doubt, if Gross Revenue for the Initial Earn-out Year or the Interim Earn-out Year is less than the Gross Revenue Threshold

in respect of such year, the Seller shall not be entitled to receive any Earn-out Payment for such Initial Earn-out Year or Interim Earn-out

Year pursuant to this Section 5.17(b).

(D)            In

the event Purchaser or any Group Company actually receives payment for services from any customers that would have otherwise been included

in the Gross Revenue calculation for the Initial Earn-out Year, the Interim Earn-out Year or the Final Earn-out Year, as the case may

be, following the payment of such Earn-out Year’s Earn-out Payment (a “Late Customer Amount”), provided, that

such Late Customer Amount was not otherwise included in such Earn-out Payment, Purchaser shall include a supplemental payment to the

Seller accounting for such Late Customer Amount in the next occurring Earn-out Payment (or in the case of the Final Earn-out Year, within

one year following the end of the Final Earn-out Year). For the avoidance of doubt, any Late Customer Amount related to the Initial Earn-out

Year or the Interim Earn-out Year shall not be taken into account for purposes of the calculation of the Final Earn-out Payment.

(ii)            Final

Payment. If the Adjusted Gross Revenue for the calendar year ending on December 31, 2030 (the “Final Earn-out Year”

and, together with the Initial Earn-out Year and the Interim Earn-out Year, the “Earn-out Years”) exceeds the Adjusted

Gross Revenue Lower Threshold, the Seller shall be entitled to receive an Earn-out Payment (the “Final Earn-out Payment”)

from Purchaser with respect to the Final Earn-out Year in an amount determined as follows:

(A)            if

the Adjusted Gross Revenue is greater than the Adjusted Gross Revenue Lower Threshold but is less than or equal to the Adjusted Gross

Revenue Upper Threshold, an amount equal to 5.0 times the amount by which the Adjusted Gross Revenue exceeds the Adjusted Gross Revenue

Lower Threshold in the Final Earn-out Year; or

the Adjusted Gross Revenue is greater than the Adjusted Gross Revenue Upper Threshold, an amount equal to $125,000,000, plus 7.0

times the amount by which the Adjusted Gross Revenue exceeds the Adjusted Gross Revenue Upper Threshold in the Final Earn-out Year;

provided, that, notwithstanding

the foregoing, the amount of the Final Earn-out Payment will be reduced by an amount equal to the Cumulative Outage Repair Costs.

For the avoidance of doubt, (1) if

the Adjusted Gross Revenue for the Final Earn-out Year is less than the Adjusted Gross Revenue Lower Threshold, then the Seller shall

not be entitled to receive any Earn-out Payment for the Final Earn-out Year pursuant to this Section 5.17(b) and (2) in

no event shall the Seller be entitled to receive a payment under both (A) and (B) of this paragraph.

Initial Earn-out Year in a manner consistent with this Agreement and the methodologies and protocols set forth in Schedule EO

and (y) the resulting amount of the Earn-out Payment, if any. Purchaser shall, concurrently with the delivery of the Initial Earn-out

Statement, deliver to the Seller a report setting forth all Gross Revenue included in the Earn-out Payment, if any, for the Initial Earn-out

Year, including a breakdown by service type, in each case, with reasonable supporting detail, substantially in the form of Exhibit F

Statement by delivery of written notice to Purchaser. The Earn-out Accountant shall review the Initial Earn-out Statement and Initial

Earn-out Report to ensure that Initial Earn-out Statement was prepared in a manner consistent with this Agreement and the methodologies

and protocols set forth in Schedule EO. The Earn-out Accountant shall promptly render its findings in writing within 30 days of

the Earn-out Accountant’s appointment and the Earn-out Accountant shall agree to comply with this schedule before accepting such

appointment. However, this time limit may be extended by the Earn-out Accountant for good cause shown, or by mutual agreement of the

parties. The Earn-out Accountant’s findings shall be final, conclusive and binding against the Purchaser and the Seller for purposes

of the Earn-out Payment for the Initial Earn-out Year, unless within 15 days following the Earn-out Accountant’s determination,

either party provides the other a written notice of objection and provides a description with specificity of each item and amount in

dispute from the Initial Earn-out Statement as modified by the Earn-out Accountant’s findings (each, an “Initial Earn-out

hand. During the Earn-out Accountant’s engagement, Purchaser, the Seller and their respective Representatives shall each make available

to the Earn-out Accountant such information, books and records and work papers as may be reasonably requested by the Earn-out Accountant

to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.17(c)(i)(B). In making its findings, the Earn-out Accountant shall

(i) consider only the items and amounts in the Initial Earn-out Statement in accordance with the definitions provided in this Agreement

and the methodologies and protocols set forth in Schedule EO and (ii) act as an accounting expert and not as an arbitrator.

Seller a statement (the “Earn-out Statement”) containing (x) Purchaser’s good faith determination of the

Gross Revenue or Adjusted Gross Revenue calculation, as the case may be, for the Earn-out Year in a manner consistent with this Agreement

and the methodologies and protocols set forth in Schedule EO and (y) the resulting amount of the Earn-out Payment, if any.

Purchaser shall, concurrently with the delivery of the Earn-out Statement, deliver to the Seller a report setting forth all Gross Revenue

included in the Earn-out Payment, including a breakdown by service type, in each case, with reasonable supporting detail.

(iii)            Until

such time as the Initial Earn-out Statement or Earn-out Statement, as applicable, shall become final and binding on the parties in accordance

with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser shall permit the Seller to review, and Purchaser shall make available, the books and records

used in the preparation of the Initial Earn-out Statement or Earn-out Statement (including the calculations of Gross Revenue and Adjusted

Gross Revenue), as applicable. Purchaser shall provide the Seller timely and reasonable access to such books and records of the Purchaser

and the Group Companies, in each case, in connection with the Seller’s review of the Initial Earn-out Statement or Earn-out Statement,

as applicable, only upon reasonable prior written notice, during normal business hours; provided, however, that the foregoing will not:

(A) interfere with the day-to-day operations of the Purchaser, the Group Companies, or any of their Affiliates or (B) require

the Purchaser or the Group Companies to provide access or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would contravene any

applicable Law or Contract, would relate to commercially sensitive information absent customary clean team protocols (if necessary),

or would result in the waiver of any legal privilege or work-product protection.

(iv)            The

Seller shall be entitled to dispute the determination of any amount set forth in the Earn-out Statement if the Seller delivers a written

notice (an “Earn-out Objection Notice”) to Purchaser within 30 days after receipt of such Earn-out Statement with

respect to which it objects to the determination by Purchaser of such amount and provides a description with specificity of each item

and amount in dispute (each, an “Earn-out Disputed Item,” and the date of delivery of such Earn-out Objection Notice

to Purchaser, the “Earn-out Objection Date”). If the Seller delivers an Earn-out Objection Notice to Purchaser within

such 30-day period, Purchaser and the Seller shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the Earn-out Disputed Items during the period

commencing on the Earn-out Objection Date. If Purchaser and the Seller do not agree in writing upon all Earn-out Disputed Items within

30 days after the Earn-out Objection Date, then either Purchaser or the Seller may by written notice to the other parties elect that

the Earn-out Disputed Items that have not been previously resolved by written agreement (but no other matters) shall be submitted to

the dispute resolution procedures specified in Section 5.17(c)(v).

(v)            Any

dispute arising out of or related to this Section 5.17 that is not otherwise resolved in accordance with Section 5.17(c)(i)(B) or

Section 5.17(c)(iv), as the case may be, shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive

Arbitration Rules that are in force at the time (the “Rules of Arbitration”) as follows:

(A)            The

legal place or seat of such arbitration shall be Delaware. The law of this arbitration clause shall be the law of the State of Delaware.

Any physical hearing in such arbitration shall be held in Anchorage, Alaska, provided that the location of any physical hearing shall

not change the seat of such arbitration from Delaware. Any witness who is unable or unwilling to travel to Anchorage, Alaska may appear

by videoconference at the hearing or by prior recorded and transcribed testimony. The merits hearing shall occur within 150 days after

the Preliminary Conference. The language of such arbitration shall be English. Any award shall be final and binding on the parties and

may be confirmed in, and judgment upon the award entered by, any state or federal court. The parties consent to the consolidation of

arbitrations commenced hereunder in respect of any Earn-out Payments.

(B)            Any

dispute subject to arbitration hereunder shall be settled by a panel of three arbitrators (the “Panel”), unless the

amount of the dispute is less than $5 million, in which case the Panel shall comprise one arbitrator. In a dispute where the Panel shall

comprise three arbitrators, the Seller and Purchaser shall each select one arbitrator within seven Business Days of the commencement

of the arbitration. The third arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement between the two party-appointed arbitrators within seven

Business Days of the appointment of the latter of the two party-appointed arbitrators, and shall be a certified public accountant or

have a similar accounting background relevant to the determination of the Earn-out Payments. In a dispute where the Panel shall comprise

one arbitrator, the parties shall hold a meeting within seven Business Days of receipt of notice of a request for arbitration to select

a mutually acceptable arbitrator not affiliated with Purchaser or the Seller and who shall be a certified public accountant or have a

similar accounting background relevant to the determination of the Earn-out Payments. If, in an arbitration with a panel of three arbitrators,

the two party-appointed arbitrators are unable to agree on the appointment of the third arbitrator within the time limit set forth above

or, in an arbitration with a panel of one arbitrator, the parties are unable to agree upon such an appointment within 30 days of the

meeting to select the arbitrator set forth above, the parties shall obtain an odd numbered list of not less than five potential arbitrators

with relevant accounting background from the JAMS Seattle office. The Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand,

shall alternatively strike a single name from the list until only one name remains, with such person to be the arbitrator comprising

the Panel. The party that first requested the arbitration shall strike the first name. An arbitrator (whether on a single-member or three-member

Panel) shall be neutral and independent.

agreeing to the arbitration procedures and rules set forth in this Section 5.17, the parties specifically intend to

control and limit the time, money, and other resources committed to resolving any disputes or issues that may arise among them so long

as no party is denied a full and fair opportunity to present their case to the Panel. Therefore, the parties specifically waive the discovery

rights they might otherwise have under the Rules of Arbitration, or that of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction, and

instead agree that the Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser on the other hand, may conduct only the following limited discovery:

(1)            Up

to two document production requests, without subparts;

(2)            No

interrogatories of other parties; provided that each party shall identify knowledgeable witnesses by employer, job title, last known

address, and subject matter of the witness’s knowledge on a mutually agreeable date or, in the absence of agreement, a date determined

by the Panel;

(3)            A

party shall have the right to conduct one seven-hour deposition of a corporate designee of a party on specific topics designated by the

notice party and a seven-hour deposition of each witness designated to testify at the arbitration hearing; and

(4)            Depositions

of any expert witnesses, provided, however, that no party may designate or call as witnesses more than two experts.

(5)            No

party may file a dispositive motion with the Panel (e.g., motion to dismiss for summary judgment).

(D)            In

any arbitration arising out of or related to this Section 5.17, the Panel is not empowered to award punitive or exemplary

damages, and the parties waive any right to recover any such damages.

(E)            The

parties shall treat the existence of any dispute arising out of or related to this Section 5.17 and any arbitration proceedings

as confidential, and the Panel shall have the power to enter appropriate orders of confidentiality enforcing the parties’ agreement

that any such dispute and resulting arbitration shall be and remain confidential. Except as may be required by applicable law, or otherwise

required by a court or Panel or to enforce or challenge a legal right or an award, the parties undertake to keep confidential the existence,

content or results of any arbitration hereunder (including any arbitral orders and awards), and undertake not to disseminate outside

the arbitration nor use for any purpose other than the arbitration any documents or information disclosed to them in any such arbitration,

without the prior written consent of all the parties concerned; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit a party from disclosing

information to actual or potential witnesses or experts where necessary for their selection or the preparation of any claim or defense

in any arbitration. In any filing in a court having jurisdiction relating to any arbitration proceeding or award, the parties shall seek

to file under seal and seek to maintain the confidentiality of such information consistent with this paragraph.

(F)            Within

15 Business Days of the Panel’s appointment, Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall each prepare

and deliver to both the Panel and the other party its last, best offer for the applicable unresolved terms (including proposals for the

breakdown of applicable revenue categories) and a memorandum in support thereof. The Panel shall promptly render a written decision within

30 days of the conclusion of the hearing or any supplemental briefing, and the Panel shall agree to comply with this schedule before

accepting appointment. However, this time limit may be extended by the Panel for good cause shown, or by mutual agreement of the parties.

The Panel shall select the proposal for each unresolved term (including each applicable revenue category, if applicable) that the Panel

believes is most consistent with this Agreement and the methodologies and protocols set forth on Schedule EO. The award shall

be accompanied by a reasoned opinion.

(G)            The

parties acknowledge and agree that all offers, promises, conduct, statements and discussions related to the Earn-out Objection Notice

or any Initial Earn-out Disputed Item or any Earn-out Disputed Items, whether oral or written, made within the 30-day period following

the Earn-out Objection Date at meetings or otherwise in the course of this dispute resolution process by the Purchaser and the Seller

or their Affiliates, or the parties’ or Affiliates’ agents, employees, experts and attorneys are communications made in confidence

with the intent of attempting to settle a dispute, will not be disclosed to the Panel and are subject to settlement privilege. Nothing

in this subparagraph prevents a party from contemporaneously designating a communication, whether oral or written, as a protected settlement

communication protected by a settlement privilege either during or following the 30-day period.

(H)            The

fees and expenses of the arbitration, including the fees and other costs charged by the Panel, and other reasonable and documented costs

of the party that has prevailed in such arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be borne by the losing party as

designated by the Panel, taking into account to what extent a party prevails on the central claims presented in any dispute, the overall

scope of the litigation, the amount in dispute and what was achieved. The Panel may decide, in its discretion, that neither party is

the losing party. In the absence of a designation of a losing party, each party shall bear its own costs to prepare for and participate

in the arbitration, and the fees and other costs charged by the Panel shall be apportioned among the parties according to the respective

percentages of the parties’ proposals selected by the Panel.

(vi)            If

(A) no Earn-out Objection Notice is delivered by the Seller within the 30-day period specified in Section 5.17(c)(iv),

(B) the Seller confirms in writing to Purchaser that it will not submit an Earn-out Objection Notice or (C) an Earn-out Objection

Notice is timely delivered by the Seller, and the Earn-out Disputed Items are resolved by (i) the written agreement of Purchaser

and the Seller or (ii) the written determination of the Panel, then the Earn-out Statement, in the case of clause (A) or (B),

as delivered to the Seller, or in the case of clause (C)(i) and (ii), as adjusted by the written agreement of Purchaser and the

Seller or by the written determination of the Panel (the “Final Earn-out Statement”), shall be final, conclusive and

binding against the Purchaser and the Seller. If the Initial Earn-out Statement is subject to the provisions of Section 5.17(c)(v),

then the Initial Earn-out Statement, as adjusted by the written determination of the Panel shall be final, conclusive and binding against

the Purchaser and the Seller.

(d)            Earn-out

Consideration. Following the final determination of the Final Earn-out Statement for any Earn-out Year in which an amount is payable

by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.17(b), Purchaser shall:

(i)            with

respect to the Initial Earn-out Year or the Interim Earn-out Year, within five Business Days of such final determination, make a cash

payment to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Seller in an amount equal to the Earn-out Payment for such Earn-out Year;

and

(ii)            with

respect to the Final Earn-out Year, at the option of Purchaser, (A) within five Business Days of such final determination, make

a cash payment to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Seller, (B) deliver, or arrange to be delivered, to the Seller

Freely Tradeable Shares issued in the name of the Seller, its designees or its successor(s) in interest, as applicable, or into

a securities account designated by the Seller, such designees or such successor(s) in interest, as applicable, or (C) any combination

of (A) and (B) that Purchaser determines, in any case, in an aggregate amount equal to the Earn-out Payment for the Final Earn-out

Year, so long as, to the best of Purchaser’s knowledge, no recipient of such Freely Tradeable Shares and any other Persons whose

beneficial ownership of GCI Common Stock would be aggregated with such recipient for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange

Act (including shares beneficially owned by any “group” of which such recipient is a member, but excluding shares beneficially

owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise

or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein), would exceed 4.9% of the total number of shares of GCI Common Stock issued and

outstanding (excluding treasury shares) at such time. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of

the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage beneficially owned by any Person shall be determined in a

manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

For purposes of this Section 5.17(d)(ii),

the value of GCI Common Stock issued and delivered shall be deemed to be equal to (1) the number of shares of GCI Common Stock delivered

to the Seller multiplied by (2) the Measurement Price, rounded to the nearest share.

Purchaser shall not be in breach of

this Section 5.17(d) as a result of any delay in delivery of shares of GCI Common Stock, provided that Purchaser

uses reasonable best efforts to effect delivery of such shares of GCI Common Stock in cooperation with the Seller as promptly as possible.

(e)            Post-Closing

Obligations.

(i)            Subject

to the terms of this Agreement, following the Closing, Purchaser shall have sole discretion with regard to all matters relating to the

operation of its business and the Group Companies; provided, that (A) Purchaser shall agree to offer to enter into contract

extensions with those customers who are customers of the Group Companies as of the Closing listed in Section 5.17(e) of the

Disclosure Schedule, subject to the limitations therein, (B) Purchaser shall act in good faith and fair dealing in all matters related

to the Earn-out and shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action or fail to take any action in bad faith for the specific purpose

of avoiding or reducing any of the Earn-out Payments hereunder, (C) Purchaser shall use a similar level of effort and resources

to generate revenue for the services set forth on Schedule EO that Purchaser uses and deploys for its own products and services,

where such services are, in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, competitive and the preferred solution relative to alternatives.

(ii)           Following

the Closing until the end of the Final Earn-out Year, Purchaser shall:

(A)            use

reasonable best efforts to offer the Group Company’s fiber network-enabled solutions to customers where such offerings are, in

Purchaser’s reasonable discretion, competitive and the preferred solution relative to alternatives;

(B)            not

dispose of or abandon any material asset of the Group Companies in a manner that would adversely reduce any of the Earn-out Payments

hereunder; and

migrate any Company Customers or Company Pipeline Customers to substitute Purchaser infrastructure in a manner that would reduce any

of the Earn-out Payments hereunder.

(iii)            Following

the Closing until the end of the Final Earn-out Year, Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in good faith and use commercially reasonable

efforts to obtain insurance for the Group Companies to protect against Cumulative Outage Repair Costs during the Earn-out Years. Seller

shall be solely responsible for the payment of all premiums, deductibles, fees and other costs and expenses associated with such insurance

(“Outage Insurance Costs”). In connection therewith, the Group Companies shall forward to Seller the invoices for

the Outage Insurance Costs, and Seller shall pay such invoices when due.

(f)            Joint

Committee.

(i)            Promptly

following the Closing, but not later than 30 days following the Closing, the Seller, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other

hand, shall each appoint in writing up to three representatives to participate in a joint monitoring committee (the “Joint Committee”).

(ii)           The

Joint Committee shall meet every six months during the Earn-out Years (or such other frequency mutually agreed upon by the Seller and

Purchaser) to monitor and review the Gross Revenue to-date for the then applicable Earn-out Year. For the avoidance of doubt, the Joint

Committee shall have no operating or management authority related to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, including the Group Companies.

100

(iii)          Purchaser

shall provide to the Joint Committee (A) an annual business plan for the Quintillion Fiber Network, customers and other network

assets, in each case, relevant to the Earn-out Payments covering the period beginning July 1st of a calendar year and ending on

June 30th of the following calendar year (the “Annual Business Plan”) within 30 days following the date on which

the Purchaser finalizes the Annual Business Plan for such year, provided, that no Annual Business Plan is required to be delivered in

connection with the Final Earn-out Year, (B) a report, at least five Business Days prior to each Joint Committee meeting, setting

forth a summary of any changes to the services provided to customers that may materially impact Gross Revenue as well as any updates

on ongoing capital projects, and (C) such other information that Purchaser reasonably determines is related to the calculation of

the Gross Revenue during any portion of the applicable Earn-out Year; provided, that Purchaser shall not be required to

provide to the Joint Committee any information to the extent that such disclosure would be reasonably likely to: (A) jeopardize

any attorney-client or other legal privilege; or (B) contravene any applicable Laws, fiduciary duty or binding agreement. All information

and documentation reviewed by or provided to the Seller or its representatives participating in the Joint Committee will be deemed confidential

and will be kept confidential in accordance with, and will otherwise be subject to, the terms set forth in Section 5.3(a).

If Purchaser believes that any information may constitute material non-public information in respect of Purchaser for purposes of U.S.

securities laws, Purchaser may withhold such information until the parties enter into a customary “wall crossing” agreement

in respect thereof.

(iv)          The

parties intend that the Seller shall use good faith efforts to identify for the Joint Committee matters that may give rise to a potential

dispute relating to this Section 5.17, and the parties intend that the Joint Committee shall serve as a forum for good faith

resolution of any such disputes prior to any escalation procedures set forth in Section 5.17(c)(iv) and Section 5.17(c)(v).

(g)            The

parties understand and agree that (i) the contingent rights to receive any Earn-out Payment shall not be represented by any form

of certificate or other instrument, and do not constitute an equity or ownership interest in Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, (ii) the

Seller shall not have any rights as a securityholder of Purchaser or the Group Companies as a result of the Seller’s contingent

right to receive any Earn-out Payment hereunder and (iii) no interest is payable with respect to any Earn-out Payment prior to the

date that the Earn-out Payment is due.

(h)            The

Seller acknowledges and agrees that:

(i)            upon

Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall have the sole right to operate the Group Companies in any way they deem appropriate, subject

to the Purchaser’s obligations in Section 5.17(e),

(ii)           the

Earn-out Payments that may become due or payable, (if any) are subject to numerous factors outside the control of Purchaser or the Seller,

101

(iii)          there

is no assurance that the Seller will receive any Earn-out Payment and Purchaser has not projected nor made any representation regarding

the likelihood or amount of any Earn-out Payment, and

(iv)          the

parties solely intend the express provisions of this Agreement to govern their contractual relationship, including any duties expressly

set forth in this Agreement and that Purchaser and its Affiliates owe no express or implied duty to the Seller, and in no case does Purchaser

or any of its Affiliates owe to the Seller any fiduciary duty or any other duty implied at law except as expressly set forth in this

Agreement.

Section 5.18.        Projected

CapEx Schedule.

(a)            During

the Interim Period, the Seller shall cause the Group Companies to use reasonable best efforts to comply with the Projected CapEx Schedule,

including with respect to the amount and timing of the capital expenditures set forth therein; provided, that the Seller shall

not be in breach of such obligation to the extent that any delay in making any scheduled capital expenditure is outside of the reasonable

control of the Group Companies, and the Group Companies shall be permitted to make additional capital expenditures in the Ordinary Course

of Business. In the case of any material delay in the anticipated completion of, or overrun in the anticipated total capital expenditure

to complete, a project in the Projected CapEx Schedule, the Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing as soon as practicable upon determining

that such delay or overrun is reasonably likely and shall keep Purchaser apprised of the facts and circumstances causing such delay or

overrun and any significant developments in respect thereof.

(b)            The

Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (i) at the end of each quarter following the date hereof until the Closing Date and (ii) at

least 30 days prior to the Closing Date, a written update (each, an “Update Statement”) on the current status of the

projects under development pursuant to the Projected CapEx Schedule, including by reference to the applicable plan of work and construction

milestones, timeline for achievement of the ready for service date, project costs incurred and budgeted, any updates to grant award statuses

and ongoing grant applications, together with reasonably sufficient detail to support such updates. The Seller shall cooperate in all

reasonable respects with Purchaser and its Representatives in their review of such Update Statement, including by providing Purchaser

with reasonable access to officers of the Group Companies and reasonably requested information.

Section 5.19.        Projected

CapEx Schedule Update.

(a)            No

later than 120 days following the Closing Date (the “Updated Projected CapEx Schedule Delivery Date”), Purchaser shall

deliver to the Seller a schedule setting forth the status and projected timeline and capital expense budget for all projects listed on

the Projected CapEx Schedule (the “Updated Projected CapEx Schedule”). The Updated Projected CapEx Schedule shall

be prepared by Purchaser in good faith. Concurrently with the delivery of the Updated Projected CapEx Schedule, Purchaser shall deliver

to the Seller reasonable documentation to support the adjustments between the Projected CapEx Schedule, as modified by the Update Statements,

and the Updated Projected CapEx Schedule.

102

(b)            Following

the Updated Projected CapEx Schedule Delivery Date until the end of the Final Earn-out Year, Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts

to comply with the Updated Projected CapEx Schedule, including with respect to the amount and timing of the capital expenditures set

forth therein; provided, that Purchaser shall not be in breach of such obligation to the extent that any delay in making any scheduled

capital expenditure is outside of the reasonable control of Purchaser (including to the extent of any delay or cancellation of any grant

funding).

Section 5.20.        Obligations

of Purchaser Parent.

(a)            Issuance

by Purchaser Parent. In the event that Purchaser elects to satisfy its Earn-out Payment obligation with respect to the Final Earn-out

Year by delivery of Freely Tradeable Shares pursuant to Section 5.17(d)(ii) (such shares, “Contingent Stock

Consideration”), Purchaser Parent shall promptly issue such Contingent Stock Consideration to the Seller, together with customary

evidence of such issuance and the recordation of such issuance on the books and records of Purchaser Parent’s transfer agent.

(b)            Representations

Purchaser Parent shall promptly prepare and submit to Nasdaq a listing application covering the Contingent Stock Consideration, and Purchaser

Rights Agreement. At the Closing, Purchaser Parent and the Seller shall enter into a Registration Rights Agreement substantially

in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) providing for the registration

for resale of the shares of GCI Common Stock constituting the Contingent Stock Consideration, on the terms and subject to the conditions

set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

103

(e)            Restrictive

Legend. Subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, any certificates representing the shares of GCI Common Stock issued

and delivered hereunder as Contingent Stock Consideration shall bear the following legend (it being agreed that if such shares are not

in certificated form, other appropriate restrictions shall be implemented to give effect to the following):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS

CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER

JURISDICTION. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES

UNDER SUCH ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION OR AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH

ACT AND SUCH LAWS. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH

OFFER, SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION.

(f)            Legend

Removal. If Purchaser Parent issues any Contingent Stock Consideration with a restrictive legend or other similar restrictions pursuant

to Section 5.20(e), subject to the holder’s compliance with the provisions and requirements of Rule 144 promulgated

under the Securities Act, including receipt of a Representation Letter (as defined below) in connection with each such issuance, Purchaser

Parent agrees to assist the holder of such Contingent Stock Consideration with the removal of the restrictive legend or similar restriction

its transfer agent or its counsel reasonably deems necessary to determine that the legend is no longer required under the Securities

Act or applicable state laws, including (if applicable) a certification (x) that the holder of such Contingent Stock Consideration

Letter”).

(b)            Any

R&W Policy obtained by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5.21 shall provide that the insurer shall have no subrogation

Article 7

Termination

Section 7.1.         Termination.

This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)           by

the mutual written consent of the Seller and Purchaser;

(b)           by

either the Seller or Purchaser, if the Closing has not occurred on or before the date that is 18 months after the date of this Agreement

or such other date that the Seller and Purchaser may agree upon in writing (the “End Date”); provided,

that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to a party whose breach

of or failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur

on or before such date;

108

either Purchaser or the Seller, if any Governmental Authority shall have issued an Order permanently enjoining, making illegal or prohibiting

the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Order shall have become final and non-appealable;

(d)            by

the Seller, if Purchaser is in breach of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or breaches or fails to

perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would render a condition

precedent to the Seller’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby set forth in Section 6.2 not

capable of being satisfied, and (ii) after the giving of written notice of such breach or failure to perform to Purchaser by the

Seller, cannot be cured or, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within 20 Business Days after receipt of such written notice;

provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(d) shall not be available

to the Seller if the Seller is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement

so as to cause the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 6.3 not to be satisfied as of such time; or

(e)            by

Purchaser, if the Seller is in breach of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or if the Seller breaches

or fails to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would

render a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby set forth in Section 6.3

not capable of being satisfied, and (ii) after the giving of written notice of such breach or failure to perform to the Seller by

Purchaser, cannot be cured or, if capable of being cured, has not been cured within 20 Business Days after receipt of such written notice;

provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(e) shall not be available

to Purchaser if Purchaser is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement

so as to cause the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 6.2 not to be satisfied as of such time.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement

pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall give written notice of such termination to the other parties in accordance with Section 7.2

and Section 9.2, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is effected.

Section 7.2.          Effect

of Termination; Procedure.

(a)            Except

as set forth in this Section 7.2, if this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, this Agreement

shall become void and of no effect with no liability or further obligation on the part of any party hereto or any of its Related Parties,

except that:

(i)            this

Section 7.2, Section 5.3(a) (Confidentiality), Section 5.6 (Public Announcements),

Section 9.3 (Fees and Expenses), Article 9 (Miscellaneous) shall survive the termination of this

Agreement; and

109

(ii)            nothing

herein, except for and subject in all cases to Section 7.2(b) (including any limitations of liability set forth in Section 7.2(c)),

shall relieve any party hereto from liability for any willful breach of any provision of this Agreement or Fraud prior to termination,

in which case the non-breaching party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidentiality

Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its express terms. For the avoidance of doubt, no termination

of this Agreement will affect the rights or obligations of any party pursuant to the Upfront Debt Financing, which rights, obligations

and agreements will survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of the Debt Documentation.

(b)            In

the event (i) this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(c) and

(ii) the Seller shall not have breached in any material respect its obligations under Section 5.5 in respect of any

Closing Regulatory Approval and (iii) all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.3 have been satisfied or waived,

other than any conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, then Purchaser shall be obligated to pay to the Seller

a termination fee of $10,000,000 (the “Reverse Termination Fee”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may satisfy

its obligation to pay the Reverse Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) by, at Purchaser’s election,

either (1) paying to the Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, cash in the amount of the Reverse Termination

Fee or (2) causing the Upfront Lender to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Upfront Debt Financing by the amount of

the Reverse Termination Fee, in either case, within five Business Days after the date on which this Agreement is terminated. Purchaser

shall notify the Seller in writing of its intent to satisfy its Reverse Termination Fee obligation pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) above

within three Business Days after the date on which this Agreement is terminated. An appropriate amendment to the Debt Documentation shall

be made reflecting any offset contemplated by this Section 7.2(b), and Purchaser shall cause the Upfront Lender to, and the

Seller shall promptly, effectuate such amendment.

no event shall Purchaser be required to pay or satisfy the Reverse Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Notwithstanding anything

to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge that (i) damages suffered by the Seller in the event that this Agreement

is terminated in any of the circumstances described in Section 7.2(b) are impossible or very difficult to accurately

estimate and (ii) the Reverse Termination Fee shall constitute liquidated damages and represents the parties’ reasonable forecast

of the losses that would be suffered by the Seller in the event that such Reverse Termination Fee becomes payable under the terms of

this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

Agreement, upon termination of this Agreement in any of the circumstances described in Section 7.2(b) or at a time when

the Seller would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b), the Seller’s right to receive

the Reverse Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Seller and its Affiliates against Purchaser, its Affiliates

and its and their respective Representatives for any losses or liabilities suffered as a result of the failure of the Closing to be consummated.

In the event that the Reverse Termination Fee becomes payable, the payment or satisfaction of the Reverse Termination Fee shall be the

Seller’s and their Affiliates’ sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) for

any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or any other losses,

damages, obligations or liabilities that may be suffered or incurred as a result of, relating to or under this Agreement, or any Transaction

Agreements, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and none of Purchaser, Purchaser Parent or any of their respective

Affiliates or any of their respective stockholders, partners, members, or Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation

relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Agreements. The Seller shall not be entitled under any circumstances

to obtain both (i) a recovery of monetary damages in the form of the payment or satisfaction of the Reverse Termination Fee, and

(ii) specific performance of the consummation of the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

Article 8

Survival; Indemnification

Section 8.1.          Survival.

(a)            The

(b)            All

of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of a party

Closing Date; and all of the covenants contained in this Agreement or any other certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf

of a party pursuant to this Agreement that, by their nature, are required to be performed after the Closing, shall survive the Closing

until fully performed or fulfilled or upon expiration of their respective terms, unless and only to the extent that non-compliance with

such covenants or agreements is waived in writing by the party entitled to such performance (the applicable date on which the representations,

warranties, covenants or agreements expire pursuant to Section 8.1(a) or Section 8.1(b), respectively, each

a “Survival Expiration Date”).

the foregoing, any claim for the breach or inaccuracy of any covenant or agreement in respect of which indemnity may be sought under

this Agreement shall survive the applicable Survival Expiration Date if notice of such claim shall have been delivered to the party against

whom such indemnity may be sought prior to the applicable Survival Expiration Date in accordance with Section 8.6(e). The

parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to any claim that any party may have against any other party that is permitted pursuant

to the terms of this Agreement, the Survival Expiration Dates set forth and agreed to in this Section 8.1 shall govern when

any such claim may be brought and shall replace and supersede any statute of limitations that may otherwise be applicable. The parties

acknowledge that the statute-of-limitations-based survival periods in Section 8.1(a) and Section 8.1(b) are

contractually selected periods and shall not be deemed to incorporate or rely upon any underlying statutory limitations period for purposes

of Section 8.1(c).

111

(d)           Notwithstanding

anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the survival periods set forth herein shall not affect, or be construed as limiting, any

claim made or available under the R&W Policy.

by the Seller. Subject to the provisions of this Article 8, effective at and after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify,

defend and hold harmless Purchaser and each of Purchaser’s Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Group Companies) and their

respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and against, and shall

pay and reimburse any Purchaser Indemnitee for, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by any Purchaser Indemnitee to the extent arising

from, consisting of or relating to:

(a)            any

breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement; and

(b)            those

matters set forth on Schedule 8.2.

or suffered by any Seller Indemnitee to the extent arising from or relating to any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement

or obligation to be performed by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 8.4.          Limitations

and Other Matters Relating to Indemnification.

(a)            Except

in the case of Fraud, the Seller’s aggregate liability with respect to indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 8.2(a) in

respect of the covenants and agreements that are to be performed prior to or at the Closing shall not exceed $30,000,000; provided,

that of such amount, (i) the Seller shall not be required to pay an aggregate amount of cash in excess of $15,000,000 and (ii) Purchaser

shall have the right to withhold, set-off and deduct from any sum that is or may be owed to the Seller pursuant to Section 5.17

up to an amount equal to $15,000,000 with respect to the excess of any such indemnification obligations above $15,000,000.

(b)           The

provisions of this Section 8.4 are not applicable to, and shall not in any way limit, claims under the R&W Policy.

Section 8.5.        No

Contribution. The Seller waives, and the Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Seller shall not have and shall not exercise or

assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or advancement of expenses or other right or

remedy against Purchaser or the Group Companies in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other Damages to which the Seller

may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement, document, certificate or instrument delivered to

Purchaser in connection with this Agreement. Effective as of the Closing, the Seller expressly waives and releases any and all rights

of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against Purchaser or the Group Companies.

112

Section 8.6.          Procedures.

Subject to Section 5.9, claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a)            Any

Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee claiming indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) with

respect to any claim asserted against the Indemnified Party by a third party (“Third Party Claim”) in respect of any

matter that is subject to indemnification under this Article 8 shall (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable notify

the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Third Party Claim and (ii) transmit to the Indemnifying Party

a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) stating the nature, basis, the amount thereof (to the extent known or estimated,

which amount shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third Party Claim), the method of computation thereof (to the extent

known or estimated), any other remedy sought thereunder, any relevant time constraints relating thereto, and, to the extent practicable,

any other material details pertaining thereto, along with copies of the relevant documents evidencing such Third Party Claim and the

basis for indemnification sought. Failure to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 8.6(a) will

not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent (A) the Indemnifying

Party is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to promptly give such notice, or (B) the Indemnified Party fails to

notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim prior to the applicable Survival Expiration Date.

(b)           Except

as provided in Section 8.6(d), an Indemnifying Party may elect at any time to assume and thereafter conduct the defense of

any Third Party Claim with counsel of the Indemnifying Party’s choice and to settle or compromise any such Third Party Claim, and

each Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all respects with the conduct of such defense by the Indemnifying Party (including the making

of any related claims, counterclaims or cross complaints against any Person in connection with the Third Party Claim) or the settlement

of such Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that (i) prior to assuming control of such

defense, the Indemnifying Party must furnish the Indemnified Party with reasonably satisfactory evidence that the Indemnifying Party

has adequate resources to defend the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnity obligations hereunder, and (ii) the Indemnifying

Party will not approve of the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to such Third Party Claim

without the Indemnified Party’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless the terms

of such settlement provide for a complete release of the claims that are the subject of such Third Party Claim in favor of the Indemnified

Party and do not impose any obligation or liability on the Indemnified Party (other than any obligation or liability that is de minimis

in nature or obligations or liabilities that are to be satisfied by the Indemnifying Party). If the Indemnified Party gives an Indemnifying

Party notice of a Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party does not, within 30 calendar days after such notice is given, or if the

legal term to provide the response is 20 days or shorter, then within the first half of the legal term to provide such response, (1) give

notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim and (2) thereafter promptly assume

such defense, or is otherwise prohibited from assuming the defense pursuant to Section 8.6(c), then the Indemnified Party

may conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that (x) the Indemnified Party will not agree to the entry

of any judgment or enter into any settlement or compromise with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of

the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless the terms of such settlement provide for a complete

release of the claims that are the subject of such Third Party Claim in favor of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and

do not impose any obligation or liability on the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party (other than any obligation or liability

that is de minimis in nature), (y) the Indemnified Party shall retain counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party in

connection with such Third Party Claim and the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of no more than one such counsel per jurisdiction

selected by the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party, and (z) the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying

Party reasonably informed with respect to such Third Party Claim and cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith.

113

Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third Party Claim to the extent (i) the

Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) the

Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or their respective

stockholders or Representatives, (iii) the amount of the Third Party Claim, if determined in accordance with the claimant’s

demands, would reasonably be expected to result in an aggregate amount of Damages that, when taken together with all other unresolved

claims for indemnification by the Purchaser Indemnitees, would constitute an amount that would not be available for recovery under this

Article 8, or (iv) there may be one or more defenses or claims available to the Indemnified Party that are different

from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party and that the failure to make could reasonably be expected to be materially

adverse to the Indemnified Party.

(d)            Notwithstanding

the foregoing, (i) the party that is not controlling the defense of any Third Party Claim shall have the right, at its own cost

and expense, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it, and (ii) subject to the requirements

of Section 8.6(b), the defense of the matters set forth on Schedule 8.2 as currently in effect on the date hereof

shall continue.

(e)            If

any Indemnified Party becomes aware of any circumstances that may give rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 8

for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly (i) notify the Indemnifying Party and

(ii) deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, describing in reasonable

detail the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement and including the Indemnified Party’s

best estimate of the amount of Damages that may arise from such claim. Failure to promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in accordance

with this Section 8.6(e) will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to the Indemnified

Party, except to the extent (A) the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to promptly give such

notice or (B) the Indemnified Party fails to notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim in accordance with this Section 8.6(e) prior

to the applicable Survival Expiration Date.

114

(f)            In

respect of a Third Party Claim, at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified Party shall grant the Indemnifying

Party and its Representatives reasonable access to the books, records, employees and properties of such Indemnified Party to the extent

reasonably related to the matters to which the applicable indemnification claim relates. All such access shall be granted during normal

business hours and upon reasonable advance written notice and shall be granted under the conditions which shall not unreasonably interfere

with the business and operations of such Indemnified Party.

(g)            With

respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article 8, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable

efforts to mitigate any Damages related thereto.

(h)            As

of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have submitted a notice of a Third-Party Claim for indemnification pursuant to this

Section 8.6 with respect to those matters set forth on Schedule 8.2.

Section 8.7.          Exclusive

Remedy(a). Except for (a) equitable relief, (b) the

remedies provided to Purchaser or its Affiliates pursuant to the R&W Policy, (c) claims based on Fraud, (d) payment obligations

and setoff rights set forth in Section 7.2(b), and (e) post-Closing payment obligations expressly set forth in this

Agreement, including as set forth in Section 2.8, Section 5.9, Section 5.14, Section 5.16,

and Section 5.17 (in each case, subject to the right to setoff, as applicable, pursuant to Section 9.12), from

and after the Closing, this Article 8 will be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties and any Person claiming by or

through any party (including the Indemnified Parties) any Damages for any breach of this Agreement.

Article 9

Section 9.3.            Fees

and Expenses. Other than as expressly provided in this Agreement, including as specifically set forth in Section 5.5

and Section 5.21(c), all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated

hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs or expenses, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are

consummated.

Section 9.4.            Successors

and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted

assigns; provided, however, that no party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations pursuant

to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Purchaser may transfer and/or assign any or all of

its rights or obligations hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates at any time. Any transfer of rights or obligations in violation

of this Section 9.4 shall be null and void.

Section 9.5.            Governing

Law. This Agreement, and any and all claims arising directly or indirectly out of or concerning this Agreement (whether based in

contract, tort or otherwise) shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware (without

regard to the principles of conflicts of Laws that would apply the Laws of any other jurisdiction).

Section 9.6.            Arbitration.

(a)            If

any dispute, claim or controversy results from, relates to or arises out of this Agreement, or the breach, termination or validity thereof

(any such dispute, claim or controversy, a “Transaction Dispute”), other than those in respect of Section 5.17,

which are subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth therein, the party raising such Transaction Dispute shall promptly give

written notice (which written notice shall provide a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for the Transaction Dispute) to the

other parties. The parties shall meet (which may be telephonically or by other audiovisual means) to attempt to resolve such Transaction

Dispute within 20 calendar days following the date on which a Party provides written notice to the other Party.

117

(b)           With

respect to any Transaction Dispute not resolved under Section 9.6(a), any party may require that such matter be settled by

binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered

in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

legal place or seat of such arbitration shall be Delaware. The law of this arbitration clause shall be the law of the State of Delaware.

Any physical hearing in such arbitration shall be held in Anchorage, Alaska, provided that the location of any physical hearing shall

not change the seat of such arbitration from Delaware. The language of such arbitration shall be English. Any award shall be final and

binding on the parties and may be confirmed in, and judgment upon the award entered by, any court having jurisdiction.

(d)           Claims

shall be heard by a panel of three arbitrators (the “Tribunal”). Within 15 days after the commencement of arbitration,

the Seller and Purchaser shall each select one person to act as arbitrator and the two party-nominated arbitrators shall select a third

arbitrator within 15 Business Days following their appointment. If the two (2) arbitrators designated by the Seller and Purchaser

do not reach an agreement as to their appointment of the third arbitrator within 15 Business Days following the date the second arbitrator

is appointed hereunder, then such third arbitrator will be appointed in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration. If there is more

than one claimant or more than one respondent, the claimants shall together appoint one arbitrator or the respondents shall together

appoint one arbitrator. In the event that claimants cannot jointly agree on an arbitrator or the respondents cannot jointly agree on

an arbitrator within the time for appointment, then JAMS Seattle Office shall appoint the members of the Tribunal.

(e)            By

agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to forgo any right they may have to seek emergency or interim relief in aid of arbitration

or, prior to the Closing, to compel specific performance in accordance with Section 9.11. The Tribunal shall have full authority

to grant provisional remedies, to issue interim awards and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the Tribunal’s

orders to that effect. The parties shall treat the existence of any Transaction Dispute and arbitration proceedings as confidential,

and the Tribunal shall have the power to enter appropriate orders of confidentiality enforcing the parties’ agreement that any

Transaction Dispute and resulting arbitration shall be and remain confidential; provided, that any such confidentiality obligations

shall not prohibit disclosure required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with, or

the rules and regulations of, any national securities exchange, automated inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter markets.

This agreement regarding confidentiality, however, shall not restrict in any way any party’s right to pursue enforcement of any

partial or final award in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(f)            The

Tribunal may order document discovery, including electronic discovery, and may order the parties to make witnesses available for depositions.

(g)            The

award shall be made within twelve months of the filing of the commencement of the arbitration, and the arbitrators shall agree to comply

with this schedule before accepting appointment; provided, however, that this time limit may be extended by the arbitrators

for good cause shown, or by mutual agreement of the parties; provided, further, that equitable relief may be sought or

obtained on an accelerated or expedited basis. The award may include equitable relief and shall be accompanied by a reasoned opinion.

118

(h)           Each

of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (unless

the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any state

or federal court within the State of Delaware), in any action seeking to compel arbitration under this Section 9.6, for any

action to enforce any award rendered in an arbitration brought pursuant to this Section 9.6 and for any action prior to the

Closing to compel specific performance pursuant to Section 9.11.

(i)            With

respect to any action for which it has submitted to jurisdiction pursuant to this Section 9.6, each party irrevocably consents

to service of process in the manner provided for the giving of notices pursuant to Section 9.2. Nothing in this Section 9.6

shall affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. The foregoing consent to jurisdiction

shall not (i) constitute submission to jurisdiction or general consent to service of process in the State of Delaware for any purpose

except with respect to this Section 9.6 or (ii) be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the respective parties

to this Agreement.

(j)            TO

THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY

JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS,

WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE

A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY

TO WAIVE ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED

HEREBY

Section 9.7.            Counterparts;

Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (which may be delivered by electronic transmission), all of which together

shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart

hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other parties

hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other

oral or written agreement or other communication).

119

Section 9.8.            Entire

Agreement. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule and the Exhibits, schedules, and annexes hereto and thereto), the other

Transaction Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject

matter of this Agreement and supersede, cancel and annul all prior agreements, negotiations, correspondence, undertakings, understandings,

statements, representations, discussions and any other communications of the parties, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject

matter hereof and thereof.

Section 9.9.            Third-Party

Beneficiaries. Except as specifically set forth herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties and their successors

and permitted assigns, and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give any Person, other than the parties

and such successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder.

Section 9.10.          Severability.

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or

unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect

and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated

hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good

faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner

in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible and in a

manner so as to as closely as possible provide the parties with the intended benefits, net of the intended burdens, set forth in any

such invalid, void or unenforceable provision.

Section 9.11.          Specific

Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy,

shall occur in the event that the parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as

are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise

breach such provisions. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific

performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof,

in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it shall not oppose the

granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on any basis, including the basis that any other party has

an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy

for any reason at Law or in equity. Any party seeking: (a) an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement; (b) to

enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement; or (c) other equitable relief, shall not be required to show proof

of actual damages or to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such remedy. The equitable remedies described in this

Section 9.11 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies at law or in equity that the parties to this

Agreement may elect to pursue. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Seller be entitled to receive both a grant

of specific performance to require Purchaser to consummate the Closing and payment of the Reverse Termination Fee.

120

Section 9.12.          Setoff.

(a)           Other

than as expressly provided in this Agreement, including as set forth in Section 2.4(c), Section 2.8(f), Section 7.2(b) and

Section 9.12(b), each of the parties acknowledges and agrees (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) that it

and its Affiliates shall have no right hereunder or pursuant to applicable Law to, and shall not, offset any amounts due and owing (or

that becomes due and owing) pursuant to this Agreement or any other Contract to any other party hereto or thereto or such other party’s

Affiliates against any amounts due and owing by such other party or such other party’s Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or

any other Contract.

(b)           Notwithstanding

Section 9.12(a), Purchaser shall have the right to withhold, set-off and deduct from any sum that is or may be owed to Seller

pursuant to Section 5.17 any amount that is payable by the Seller to any Purchaser Indemnitee in respect of any claim for

indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 but has not yet been paid.

Section 9.13.          Release.

(a)            As

of the Closing (but only if the Closing actually occurs), the Seller and its Affiliates (each, a “Releasing Seller Person”),

hereby release and forever discharge Purchaser and each of its Affiliates (including, as of immediately following the Closing, the Group

Companies), successors, assigns, former, current or future direct or indirect stockholders, equity holders, controlling persons, portfolio

companies, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, managers, members, trustees, general or limited partners, agents, attorneys

or other Representatives (in each case, solely in their capacities as such) (each, a “Released Purchaser Person”)

from all debts, demands, causes of action, suits, covenants, torts, damages and any and all claims, defenses, offsets, judgments, demands

and liabilities whatsoever, of every name and nature, both at law and in equity, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued, that have been

or could have been asserted against any Released Purchaser Person, that any Releasing Seller Person has or ever had, that arises out

of or in any way relates to events, circumstances or actions occurring, existing or taken prior to or as of the Closing Date in respect

of matters relating to the Group Companies; provided, however, that this Section 9.13 does not apply to and

shall not constitute a release of (i) claims of Fraud, (ii) any rights or obligations to the extent arising under this

Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of Purchaser pursuant to

this Agreement, (iii) claims covered by the D&O Tail Policy or subject to Section 5.22, (iv) contractual claims

or rights under any Continuing Arrangement or (v) claims pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. Each Released Purchaser Person shall

be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 9.13(a).

121

(b)           As

of the Closing (but only if the Closing actually occurs), Purchaser and its Affiliates (each, a “Releasing Purchaser Person”),

hereby release and forever discharge the Seller and each of their Affiliates (other than the Group Companies), successors, assigns, former,

current or future direct or indirect stockholders, equity holders, controlling persons, portfolio companies, directors, officers, employees,

incorporators, managers, members, trustees, general or limited partners, agents, attorneys or other Representatives (in each case, solely

in their capacities as such) (each, a “Released Seller Person”) from all debts, demands, causes of action, suits,

covenants, torts, damages and any and all claims, defenses, offsets, judgments, demands and liabilities whatsoever, of every name and

nature, both at law and in equity, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued, that have been or could have been asserted against any Released

Seller Person, that any Releasing Purchaser Person has or ever had, that arises out of or in any way relates to events, circumstances

or actions occurring, existing or taken prior to or as of the Closing Date in respect of matters relating to the Group Companies; provided,

however, that this Section 9.13 does not apply to and shall not constitute a release of (i) claims of Fraud,

(ii) any rights or obligations to the extent arising under this Agreement, any other Transaction Agreement or any certificate

or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, (iii) claims relating to or in connection

with the Upfront Debt Financing, (iv) contractual claims or rights under any Continuing Arrangement, (v) any claims pursuant

to the Consulting Agreements, (vi) claims against any Person in such Person’s capacity as an officer, director, employee or

independent contractor of any Group Company or (vii) claims pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. Each Released Seller Person shall

be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 9.13(b).

Section 9.14.          Disclosure

Schedule. Each of the disclosures set forth in the Disclosure Schedule shall clearly indicate the section and, if applicable, the

subsection of this Agreement to which it relates. The disclosures with respect to any representation and warranty of the Seller in the

Disclosure Schedule shall qualify the Section of this Agreement that corresponds to the Section of the Disclosure Schedule

and are to be taken as qualifying and relating to the other representations and warranties by the Seller to the extent the applicability

of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on its face. The inclusion of information in the Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed

as, and shall not constitute, an admission or agreement that a violation, right of termination, default, liability or other obligation

of any kind exists with respect to any item, nor shall it be construed as or constitute an admission or agreement that such information

is material.

122

Section 9.15.          Legal

Representation of Seller and its Affiliates. Purchaser agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, that (a) one

or more of the Group Companies and Seller have retained the Law Firms to act as their counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated

by this Agreement as well as other past matters, (b) the Law Firms have not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection

with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no Person other than the Group Companies and Seller has the status of a Law

Firm client for conflict of interest or any other purpose as a result thereof, and (c) following the Closing, each Law Firm may

serve as counsel to Seller and their Affiliates in connection with any matters related to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution

or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any litigation, claim, or obligation arising out

of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding any representation by any Law Firm

prior to the Closing Date of any Group Company. Purchaser (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) hereby (i) irrevocably

waives any claim that it has or may have that any Law Firm has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such

representation (to the extent such conflict or prohibition is related to the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement)

and (ii) agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Purchaser or any Group Company and the Seller

or any of its Affiliates, each Law Firm may represent the Seller or any of its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of

such Persons may be directly adverse to Purchaser or any Group Company and even though such Law Firm may have represented a Group Company

in a matter substantially related to such dispute. Purchaser represents that it has consulted with its own attorney regarding the implications

and risks of waiving the right to assert a future conflict against each of the Law Firms, and Purchaser’s consent with respect

to this waiver is fully informed. Purchaser (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) also further agrees that, as to all communications

prior to the Closing among any of the Law Firms, on the one hand, and the Group Companies, and the Seller or the Seller’s Affiliates

and representatives, on the other hand, that relate in any way to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement

or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the attorney-client privilege and the expectation of client confidence belongs to

the Seller and may be controlled by the Seller and will not pass to or be claimed by Purchaser or any Group Company following the Closing.

In addition, if the Closing occurs, all of the client files and records in the possession of any of the Law Firms related to the negotiation,

execution and performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby will continue to be property of (and be controlled

by) the Seller and no Group Company will retain any copies of such records or have any access to them. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser or any Group Company and a third party other than a party to this Agreement (or

an Affiliate thereof) after the Closing, the Group Companies may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential

communications by a Law Firm to such third party; provided, however, that no Group Company may waive such privilege without

the prior written consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 9.16.          Non-Recourse.

Except in the case of Fraud, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or suit or cause of action based upon, arising

out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement

(including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement), whether in

contract or in tort, in law or in equity or otherwise, may only be brought against the express named parties to this Agreement or other

Transaction Agreements (or any successor or permitted assign), as applicable, and then only with respect to the specific obligations

set forth herein or therein with respect to such parties to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement (in all cases, as limited

by the provisions set forth therein). No Person who is not an express named party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement,

as applicable, including any past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder,

Affiliate, agent, attorney, or representative of Purchaser, Purchaser Parent, any Group Company, the Seller or any of their respective

Affiliates (the “Non-Recourse Parties”), will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation (whether

in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners

or affiliates, or otherwise) to any other Person resulting from (nor will any party hereto have any claim with respect to) this Agreement,

any other Transaction Agreement, or the transactions contemplated herein or therein, including, (i) the distribution to Purchaser,

or Purchaser’s use of, or reliance on, any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Purchaser

in certain “data rooms,” information memorandum, management presentations or in any other form, including meetings, calls

or correspondence with management of any Group Company or the Seller or their respective Affiliates or Representatives and whether delivered

to or made available prior to or after the date hereof in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated by this

Agreement, (ii) any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the sale and purchase of the Group Companies, including any

alleged non-disclosure or misrepresentations made by any such Persons, or (iii) for any obligations or liabilities otherwise arising

under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement (as the case may be) or for any claim based

on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or any such other Transaction Agreement (as the case may be) or the negotiation or

execution hereof or thereof, in each case, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be

imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise; and each party irrevocably waives and releases

all such liabilities and obligations against any such Persons. Each of the Non-Recourse Parties shall be a third party beneficiary of

the provisions of this Section 9.16. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,

nothing in this Section 9.16 shall limit any liability of (x) the Seller for breaches of the terms and conditions of

this Agreement or (y) the respective parties to the other Transaction Agreements for breaches of the terms and conditions therein.

123

Section 9.17.          Construction.

with those used in preparing the financial statements referred to in Section 5.10.

in connection with the calculation of any financial ratios, tests or baskets with respect to the classification of an Acquisition as

a Permitted Acquisition or the consummation of any other Specified Transactions on or following such date and prior to the earlier of

thereto, then a one-month Interest Period automatically shall apply. If the Borrower fails to duly request the continuation of any Borrowing

consisting of Term SOFR Rate Loans on or before the date specified and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5,

then such Term SOFR Rate Loan shall be automatically continued as a Term SOFR Rate Loan with a one-month Interest Period.

as applicable. Each applicable Lender shall remit the principal amount of their Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loan to the Administrative

to a Defaulting Lender and except as provided in Section 2.3(e), Section 3.1

or Section 3.6) be payable ratably among the Lenders of such Tranche of Loan,

as applicable, entitled to such payment in accordance with the amount of principal and interest then due or payable to such Lenders as

set forth in this Agreement.

by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to the proposed Borrowing

Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Loan, the Administrative

Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1,

Section 2.2 or Section 2.3,

as the case may be, and may (but is not required to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding

amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable

Lender and the Borrower agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon,

for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to 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 Federal Funds Effective 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 then applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan

to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. Any payment by the Borrower shall be

without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative

Agent. If the Borrower and such Lender pay such interest for the same period, the Administrative Agent promptly shall remit to the Borrower

the amount of interest paid by the Borrower for such overlapping period. Nothing in this Section 2.6(c) or

elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the provisions of Section 2.14,

shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent (or any other Lender) to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any

Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower

may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

2.7          Fees.

(a)           MOIC

Payment. Upon the occurrence of a MOIC Trigger Event, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of

the Lenders, as compensation for the costs of those Lenders making funds available to the Borrower under this Agreement, a fee equal

to the MOIC Amount on such repayment or prepayment date.

(b)           Other

Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Agent Fee Letter.

2.8          Notes.

The obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans made to it by each Lender, together with

interest thereon, shall, at the request of the applicable Lender, be evidenced by a Note, dated as of the applicable Borrowing Date or

the date of such request, as applicable, payable to such Lender in a face amount equal to the applicable Term Loan Commitment of such

Lender. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay, to each of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the Loans

and other Obligations as provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.9          [Reserved].

2.10       Payments.

(a)           Payments

Generally. All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, other fees referred to in Section 2.7

or other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date when

due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without

set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made

to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders to which they are owed, in each case in Dollars and in immediately available

funds. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the applicable Lenders in immediately available funds. The

Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest

error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement

and shall be deemed an “account stated.”

(b)           Payments

by the Borrower; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower

prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders 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 is not required 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 forthwith on demand

the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed

to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate

determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

2.11        Interest

Payment Dates. Interest on Base Rate Loans shall

be due and payable in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date. Interest on Term SOFR Rate Loans shall be due and payable on

the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 2.13

shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan not constituting a Base Rate

Loan or Term SOFR Rate Loan or on other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary

Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated Maturity Date, upon an accelerated Maturity Date or otherwise). Any accrued

and unpaid interest on the Loans shall be paid on the Maturity Date. All interest shall be payable in cash; provided that the Borrower

may elect that a portion of the interest otherwise payable in cash with respect to the Loans for any Interest Period be paid in-kind

(such interest amount, the “PIK Interest” and such election, the “PIK Election”) by delivering

a written notice (each, a “PIK Election Notice”) to the Administrative Agent not later than two (2) Business

Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period. Each PIK Election Notice shall specify the applicable Interest Period and the

percentage of interest for such Interest Period that shall be subject to such PIK Election; provided that, after giving effect to such

PIK Election, the portion of interest payable in cash for such Interest Period on the Loans subject to the PIK Election shall not be

less than the Term SOFR Rate plus 2.00% or, in the case of the Base Rate Option, Alternate Base Rate plus 1.00%. Following a PIK Election,

any PIK Interest shall automatically (i) increase the principal amount of the Loans on such payment date in the amount of such PIK

Interest on the date interest would otherwise have been due pursuant to Section 2.11, (ii) be treated as principal under the

Loans for all purposes, (iii) accrue interest in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Term Loans and

(iv) shall be payable in full in cash as a Loan on the Maturity Date, upon an accelerated Maturity Date or otherwise in accordance

with the terms of this Agreement. To the extent all or any portion of the cash interest payment cannot be paid in cash by the Borrower

due to the inability of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries to dividend cash to the Borrower in an amount necessary to make such cash interest

payment due to the CoBank Credit Agreement’s restricted payments covenant exception governing the payment of cash interest on the

Loans, any such interest amount (and solely with respect of the amount of cash interest that cannot be paid in cash), that would otherwise

be payable in cash, shall be paid-in-kind for the applicable Interest Period pursuant to the terms herein and shall be deemed PIK Interest

hereunder.

2.12       Voluntary

Prepayments and Reduction of Commitments.

(a)           Right

to Prepay. The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or

penalty (except as provided in Sections 2.7, 11.3, 3.1 and 3.5). Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall

provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least (A) three (3) U.S.

Government Securities Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of Term SOFR Rate Loans or (B) one (1) Business Day prior

to the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans, in each case, setting forth the following information:

(i)          the

date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made;

(ii)         a

statement indicating the application of the prepayment among Tranches of Loans and Borrowings, as applicable; and

(iii)        the

total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than the lesser of the following: (A) the then outstanding principal

amount of such Tranche of Loans, or (B) $500,000 (provided, that the amount of any prepayment to which this Section 2.12(a)(iii)(B) applies

shall be in integral multiples of $100,000).

Except

as otherwise expressly provided herein with respect to refinancings, all prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount

of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount, shall be due and payable on the

date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. So long as no Event of Default has

occurred and is continuing, voluntary prepayments shall be applied to any outstanding Term Loans as the Borrower may direct; provided

that all prepayments with respect to Term Loans permitted pursuant to this Section 2.12

shall be applied pro rata among all Tranches of Term Loans. If the Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing

that the Borrower intends to prepay or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then such prepayment shall be applied first,

ratably to all outstanding Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans, if any, and second ratably to all outstanding Term Loans that are Term

SOFR Rate Loans. Any prepayment hereunder shall include all interest and fees due and payable with respect to the Loan being prepaid

and shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 3.5.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any prepayment notice delivered in connection with any proposed refinancing of all of the Facilities may

be, if expressly so stated in the applicable prepayment notice, contingent upon the consummation of such refinancing, and (x) the

repayment date therefor may be amended from time to time by notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or (y) such

prepayment notice may be revoked by the Borrower in the event such refinancing is not consummated (provided that the failure of such

contingency shall not relieve the Borrower from its obligations in respect thereof under Section 3.5).

2.13        Mandatory

Prepayments.

(a)           [Reserved].

(b)           Disposition

of Assets. Within five (5) Business Days following the receipt by the Borrower or Subsidiary thereof of the Net Cash Proceeds from

any Disposition not expressly permitted by Section 7.7, the Borrower shall

prepay, or cause such Subsidiary to prepay, Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition.

All such proceeds shall be paid and applied in accordance with Sections 2.13(g) and (h). Notwithstanding anything herein to the

contrary, no such mandatory prepayment shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a cure of any Default or Event of Default arising

as a result of the Disposition giving rise to such prepayment obligation.

Events. Within five (5) Business Days following the receipt by the Borrower or Subsidiary thereof of the Net Cash Proceeds of any

Casualty Event or series of related Casualty Events affecting any property of the Borrower, the Borrower shall prepay, or cause such

Subsidiary thereof to prepay, Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Casualty Event(s). All

such proceeds shall be paid and applied in accordance with Sections 2.13(g) and (h). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,

no such mandatory prepayment shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a cure of any Default or Event of Default arising as a result

of such Casualty Event(s) giving rise to such prepayment obligation.

(d)          [Reserved].

(e)           Debt

Incurrence. Within five (5) Business Days following the receipt by the Borrower or Subsidiary thereof of the Net Cash Proceeds of

any Debt Incurrence, other than a Debt Incurrence permitted under Section 7.1,

the Borrower shall prepay, or cause such Subsidiary thereof to prepay, Obligations in an amount equal to 100% of the amount of such Net

Cash Proceeds. All such proceeds shall be paid and applied in accordance with Sections 2.13(g) and (h). Notwithstanding anything

herein to the contrary, any such prepayment shall not constitute or be deemed to be a cure of any Default or Event of Default arising

as a result of such Debt Incurrence.

(f)           Excess

Cash Flow. Within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of the Borrower’s annual audited financial statements pursuant to Section 6.1

for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026 and for each fiscal year ending thereafter during the term hereof but in any event

no later than five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Compliance Certificate for such fiscal year is due in accordance

with Section 6.1(c), the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations as follows

in an aggregate amount equal to (i) fifty percent (50%) of Excess Cash Flow when the Total Net Leverage Ratio (calculated before

giving effect to such prepayment) is greater than 5.00:1.00; (ii) twenty-five percent (25%) of Excess Cash Flow when the Total Net

Leverage Ratio is greater than 4.50:1.00 but less than or equal to 5.00:1.00; and (iii) zero percent (0%) when the Total Net Leverage

Ratio is less than or equal to 4.50:1.00, in each case, with Excess Cash Flow calculated for the immediately preceding fiscal year; provided,

however, that no Excess Cash Flow payment pursuant to this clause (f) shall be required if such payment is equal to or less than

$1,000,000 (and then only amounts in excess of $1,000,000 shall be required to be paid pursuant to this clause (f)). All such proceeds

shall be paid and applied in accordance with Sections 2.13(g) and (h).

(g)          Application

Among Obligations. All prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be applied, to prepay any remaining Term Loans, pro rata

among all Tranches.

(h)           Interest

Payments; Application Among Interest Rate Options. All prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.13

shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest upon the principal amount of each such prepayment and written notice to the Administrative

Agent by 11:00 am (New York City time) at least two (2) Business Day’s prior to such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.13.

Subject to Section 2.13(g), all prepayments required pursuant to this Section 2.13

shall first be applied to Base Rate Loans and then to Term SOFR Rate Loans. In accordance with Section 3.5,

the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments

applied against Term SOFR Rate Loans on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

(i)            Payments

Not Required. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.13 to the contrary,

no payments shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.13 at any time that

the CoBank Credit Agreement is in effect.

2.14       Sharing

of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by

exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or

by any other non-pro rata source or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other

obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest

thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro-rata share of the amount such Lender is entitled hereunder, 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 of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit

of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest

on their respective Loans and other Obligations owing them, provided that:

(a)           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 other than interest or other amounts, if

any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase; and

(b)           the

provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any

payment (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) made by the Borrower pursuant to and in

accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment

of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Participation Advances to any assignee or participant.

The

Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring

a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect

to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.15        Defaulting

Lenders.

(a)           Defaulting

Lender Adjustments. 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:

(i)          Waivers

and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement

shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii)         Defaulting

Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such

Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX

or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.2(c) 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. 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 pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) shall

be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b)          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 pro rata by the Lenders

in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided

that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that

Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties,

no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising

from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

III.         INCREASED

COSTS; TAXES; ILLEGALITY; INDEMNITY

3.1          Increased

Costs.

(a)           Increased

Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i)          impose,

modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the Federal Reserve Board for determining

the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to

eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D)), special deposit, compulsory

loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated

in by, any Lender;

(ii)         subject

any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the

definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other

obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)        impose

on any Lender or any applicable offshore interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement

or Loans made by such Lender or participation in any such Loan;

and

the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing

or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable

by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or

other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will

compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)          Capital

Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s

holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on

such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the

Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company

could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s

holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time 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.

for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company,

as the case may be, as specified in this Section 3.1 and delivered to the

Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate

within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d)          Delay

in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.1

shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required

to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.1 for any increased costs

incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change

in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except

that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred

to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.2          Taxes.

(a)           [Reserved].

(b)          Payments

Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall

be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by 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 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 3.2)

the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower 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 shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) 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 3.2)

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 ten (10) days after demand therefor, for

(i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the

Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) [reserved] 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 clause (e).

(f)           Evidence

of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.2,

the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority

evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the

Administrative Agent.

(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 Section 3.2(g)(ii)(A),

(g)(ii)(B) and (g)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution

or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial

position of such Lender.

(ii)           Without

limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(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), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender (or, if such Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from

its regarded owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such regarded owner) is not subject to 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 reasonably 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:

(1)         in

the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect

to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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;

(2)         executed

copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3)         in

the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,

(x) a Tax Compliance Certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning

of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning

of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower

as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E,

as applicable; or

(4)         to

the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS

Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification

documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect

partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a Tax Compliance Certificate

on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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 reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under

this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies

of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax,

duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the 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 Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law

and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable

Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested

by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations

under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount,

if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any

amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each

Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it

shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the 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 3.2 (including

by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.2), it shall

pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.2

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 clause

(h) (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 clause (h), in

no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (h) 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 clause (h) 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.

3.3          Illegality.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for

any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund any Loans (other than Base Rate Loans) or to determine or charge

interest based upon any Benchmark, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any

obligation of the Lenders to make such Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue such Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to such

Loans, shall be suspended, and (b), if necessary to avoid such illegality, the interest rate on the Base Rate Loans shall be determined

by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each

case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no

longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice,

(i)            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 such Loans to Base Rate Loans (if necessary to avoid such illegality, the interest rate on the Base Rate

Loans of such Lender shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate

Base Rate”),

(A)          if

such Loans are not subject to an Interest Period, immediately, or

(B)           if

such Loans are subject to an Interest Period, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue

to maintain such Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans to such day, and

(ii)           if

necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Alternate Base Rate

without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate,” in each case until the Administrative

Agent is advised in writing by each affected Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates

based upon such Benchmark. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued and unpaid interest on the amount

so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5.

3.4          Inability

to Determine Rate; Cost; Interest After Default.

(a)           Inability

to Determine Rate; Cost. Subject to Section 3.7, if, on or prior to the commencement

of any Interest Period (or, in the case of any Benchmark that is not subject to an Interest Period, on any Business Day):

(i)            the

Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that for any reason (other

than a Benchmark Transition Event) any Benchmark cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof;

(ii)           the

Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Loan that is subject to an Interest Period or a conversion

thereto or a continuation thereof that the Benchmark for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately

and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such

determination to the Administrative Agent; or

(iii)          the

Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Loan that is not subject to an Interest Period (other

than a Base Rate Loan) or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof or the maintaining thereof that the Benchmark with respect to

a proposed Loan or outstanding Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan,

and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall

give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders.

Upon

notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower,

(1)           any

obligation of the Lenders to make such Loans that are subject to an Interest Period, and any right of the Borrower to continue such Loans

or to convert to such Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative

Agent (with respect to clause (ii), at the written instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice;

(2)           any

obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain such Loans that are not subject to an Interest Period (other than Base Rate Loans), and

any right of the Borrower to continue such Loans or to convert to such Loans (other than Base Rate Loans), shall be suspended (to the

extent of the affected Loans) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (iii), at the written instruction of the Required

Lenders) revokes such notice;

(3)           the

Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of such Loans (to the extent of the affected

Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for

a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein;

(4)           any

outstanding affected Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period (or

if such Loans are not subject to an Interest Period, immediately) and, upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued

interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5;

and

(5)           in

the case of any such notice under Section 3.4(a)(i) regarding any Benchmark

used as a component of the Alternate Base Rate, such component will not be used in any determination of Base Rate Loans until such notice

is revoked.

(b)          Default

Rate. To the extent permitted by Law, immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under clause

(a) or (l) of Section 9.1, or immediately after written demand by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent after

the occurrence and during the continuation of any other Event of Default, then the principal amount of all Obligations shall bear interest

at the Default Rate. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 3.4(b) reflects,

among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and

that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by the Borrower upon demand

by the Administrative Agent.

3.5          Indemnity.

Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender

for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense attributable to or incurred by it as a result of:

(a)           any

continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan that is subject to an Interest Period on a day other than the last day of

the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(b)          any

failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any

Loan subject to an Interest Period on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

including

any loss of anticipated profits and any loss, cost or expenses arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds or from any fees

payable. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

3.6          Mitigation

Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. In each case,

solely after the Acquisition Agreement Period:

(a)           Designation

of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender (other than any Lender that is an affiliate of the GCI Group) requests compensation under

Section 3.1, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional

amounts to any Lender (other than any Lender that is an affiliate of the GCI Group) or any Governmental Authority for the account of

any Lender (other than any Lender that is an affiliate of the GCI Group) pursuant to Section 3.2,

then such Lender shall (at the 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 (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1

or Section 3.2, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) 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.

(b)          Replacement

of Lenders. If any Lender (other than any Lender that is an affiliate of the GCI Group) requests compensation under Section 3.1,

or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender (other than any Lender that is an affiliate

of the GCI Group) or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender (other than any Lender that is an affiliate of the GCI

Group) pursuant to Section 3.2 and, in each case, such Lender has declined

or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 3.6(a) above

or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice

to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse, all of its interests, rights

(other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2)

and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to any Person that shall assume such obligations (which assignee

may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i)            [reserved];

(ii)           such

Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees

and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.5)

from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other

amounts);

(iii)          in

the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.1

or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.2, 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 amendment, waiver or consent.

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.

3.7          Benchmark

Replacement Setting.

Notwithstanding

anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document:

(a)           Replacing

Benchmarks. Upon a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent as to any Benchmark which date shall be no later than the occurrence

of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to such Benchmark, the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the applicable then-current

Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark at or after 3:00 p.m. on

the fifth Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the affected Lenders without any amendment

to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent

has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from the Required Lenders. At any time that

the administrator of the applicable then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark

has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of

information to be not representative of the underlying market and economic reality that such Benchmark is intended to measure and that

representativeness will not be restored, the Borrower may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Loans

to be made, converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrower’s receipt of notice

from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed

to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During the period referenced in

the foregoing sentence, the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon such Benchmark (if any) will not be used in any determination

of the Alternate Base Rate.

(b)          Benchmark

Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the

Administrative Agent, as directed in writing by the Required Lenders, will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes

from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement

or any other Loan Document.

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 Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes in connection

with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower

of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.7(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 3.7, 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, 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 hereto or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.7.

(d)           Unavailability

of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the applicable

then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate), then the Administrative Agent (as directed in writing by the Required

Lenders) may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement)

settings and (ii) the Administrative Agent (as directed in writing by the Required Lenders) may reinstate any such previously removed

tenor for such Benchmark (including any applicable Benchmark Replacement) settings.

3.8          Survival.

Each party’s obligations under this Article III shall survive the resignation

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.

each case duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization specified on Schedule

5.1, except to the extent that the failure of such Person to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material

Adverse Change, (b) has the lawful power to own or lease its properties and to engage in the business it presently conducts or proposes

to conduct, extent that the failure of such Person to do so would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change,

and (c) is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction listed on Schedule 5.1 and in all other jurisdictions

where the property owned or leased by it or the nature of the business transacted by it or both makes such licensing or qualification

necessary except where the failure to be so duly licensed or qualified would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse

Change.

5.2          Compliance

With Laws.

(a)           The

Borrower and each Subsidiary of the Borrower is in compliance with all applicable Laws in all jurisdictions in which the Borrower and

in a Material Adverse Change.

(b)          No

party contravenes any Law applicable to the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any of the Lenders.

5.3          Title

to Properties. The Borrower and each Subsidiary

of the Borrower (a) has good and marketable title to or valid leasehold interest in all properties, assets and other rights that

it purports to own or lease or that are reflected as owned or leased on its books and records other than defects in title that do not

(a)           Neither

the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by the Borrower nor the consummation of the transactions herein

Material Agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or

the Acquisition Agreement Period, the CoBank Credit Agreement is otherwise amended, restated, supplemented, waived or modified (a “Proposed

Modification”) in a manner materially adverse to the Lenders (as determined by Lender Representative in its reasonable judgement)

that the limitations in this clause (iii) shall not apply to any modification to the stated maturity date for any Secured Obligations

(as defined in the CoBank Credit Agreement) under the CoBank Loan Documents or to any of the modifications described in clauses (i) or

(ii).

The

Borrower agrees that, at least ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser period of time as to which the Lender Representative may agree

in its reasonable discretion) prior to the effective date of any Proposed Modification, the Borrower shall inform the Lender Representatives

of the terms of the Proposed Modification. The Lender Representatives shall, within five (5) Business Days (commencing on the date

a Lender Representative confirms receipt of the Proposed Modification) of notification of the Proposed Modification (the “Modification

Notice Deadline”) confirm whether such Proposed Modification would be materially adverse to the Lenders, together with an explanation

describing the reason for its decision and, upon providing such confirmation and description, the parties will engage in commercially

reasonable negotiations to modify the Proposed Modification to address the potential materially adverse effect; provided that, the Borrower

shall not be obligated to engage in such negotiations for more than five (5) Business Days. If the Lender Representative fails to

respond to the Borrower’s notice by the Modification Notice Deadline, the Lender Representative shall be deemed to have determined

that such Proposed Modification is not materially adverse to the Lenders and neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall have

any future objection to such Proposed Modification.

in an asset transfer or plan merger, or otherwise) under any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan under which the Borrower or ERISA Affiliate

has no liability as of the date of this Agreement. Except to the extent that any liability associated therewith, individually or taken

together with other Plans, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, the Borrower will not nor will any

ERISA Affiliate acquire liability (by adopting a new plan, acquisition of another entity, participating in an asset transfer or plan

merger, or otherwise) under any Welfare Benefit Plan, under which the Borrower or ERISA Affiliate has no liability as of the date of

this Agreement unless such Plan can be terminated by the Borrower or ERISA Affiliate in its sole discretion at any time without material

of Covenants. All covenants contained in Articles

VI, VII and VIII of this Agreement shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by

not contain such qualification (including all representations and warranties (x) as of the initial funding on the Closing Date and

or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency)

at any time owing, by such Lender, or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of

the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or their respective

fiscal quarter, any portion of such Specified Equity Contribution that is actually applied to repay any Indebtedness).

anything in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 to the contrary, until the expiration of the applicable Cure Deadline, the Lenders shall not be permitted

to (and shall not) accelerate the Loans held by them or exercise any rights or remedies under Section 9.1

or 9.2 or under any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower on the basis of a failure to comply

X.     THE

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1     Appointment

and Authority. Each of the Lenders (on behalf of

itself and each of its Affiliates) hereby irrevocably appoints Acquiom Agency Services LLC to act on its behalf as the Administrative

Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to

exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers

as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article X (other

than Section 10.9, Section 10.13

and any other provision herein that expressly requires the approval or consent of the Borrower) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative

Agent, the Lenders, the Affiliates of the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such

provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or

any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)

obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended

to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

10.2     Rights

as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative

Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though

it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise

expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its

individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial

advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other

Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.3     No

Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent shall not

have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and its duties hereunder shall

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

(b)     shall

not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly

contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the

Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents);

provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may

expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance

of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification

or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the

failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person

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

10.4     Exculpation.

(a)     The

Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required

Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good

faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.1 and 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross

negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Administrative

Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event

of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

100

(b)     The

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation

made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document

delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,

agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the

validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument

or document or (v) the existence, value, adequacy, enforceability, sufficiency, collectability or title of any Collateral or (vi) the

satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required

to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including lost profits),

even if advised of the possibility thereof.

(d)     Without

limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for any failure or delay in the performance

of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, circumstances

beyond their control, including acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances,

labor disputes, failures or disruptions of utilities, communications or computer (hardware or software) services or other similar events.

(e)     The

Administrative Agent is not obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of

its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing

the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(f)     The

Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by it in good faith

or for any mistake in act or law, or for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, in each case except for

its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(g)     The

Administrative Agent shall be entitled to request instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be specified herein)

as to the exercise of any rights or powers, and may refrain from taking any action unless and until such instructions are received. In

the absence of such instructions, the Administrative Agent may act or refrain from acting in its reasonable discretion.

(h)     Notwithstanding

anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for the preparation, filing or

recording of any instrument, document or financing statement or for the perfection or maintenance of any security interest created hereunder.

101

10.5     Reliance

by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative

Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,

statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other

distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative

Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and

shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that

by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory

to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such

Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Lenders), independent accountants and other

experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel,

accountants or experts.

10.6     Delegation

of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform

any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more

sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties

and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article X

shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their

respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative

Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction

determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in

the selection of such sub agents.

10.7     Filing

Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any

proceedings under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relating to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective

of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective

of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand therefor) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention

in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)     to

file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the owing and unpaid principal and interest in respect to the Obligations and to file

such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including

any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their

respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.7, 2.10(b), 3.5 and

11.3) allowed in such proceeding;

102

(b)     to

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

custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby

authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent

to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation,

expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative

Agent under Sections 2.7, 2.10(b), 3.5 and 11.3.

10.8     Resignation

of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative

Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation,

the Required Lenders and, subject to an absence of any Specified Event of Default, the Borrower shall have the right to appoint a successor

Administrative Agent (which shall not in any event be a Disqualified Institution). If no such successor shall have been so appointed

by the Required Lenders and, subject to an absence of any Specified Event of Default, the Borrower shall have accepted such appointment

within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier date as the Required

Lenders may approve), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a

successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders; provided, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders

that no Person has accepted such appointment, then the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective in

accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder

and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments,

communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each

Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 10.8.

Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become

vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent (other than any rights

to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all

of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this

Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor

unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder

and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article X and Section 11.3

shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in

respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative

Agent.

10.9     [Reserved].

103

10.10     Non-Reliance

on the Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each

Lender expressly acknowledges that the Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the

Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower

of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender as to

any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in their (or their Related Parties’)

possession. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative

Agent, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made

its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other

condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the

transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder.

Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any

of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make

its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document

or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to

inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower.

Each Lender represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it

is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender for

the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to

such Lender, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender agrees

not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to

decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such

Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans

or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

10.11     Enforcement.

By its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and once any portion of the Loans is held by a Lender

that is not an affiliate of the GCI Group, each Lender agrees that (a) the Loan Documents may be enforced only by the Administrative

Agent, subject to Section 11.2, (b) no Lender shall have any right individually

to enforce or seek to enforce this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and (c) no Lender has any right to notice of any action

or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and,

in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

10.12     [Reserved].

10.13     [Reserved].

10.14     [Reserved].

104

10.15     No

Reliance on the Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program.

Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither

such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s,

Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed

under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter

amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, Anti-Corruption Law or Sanctions, including

any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Borrower, its Affiliates or their agents,

the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any

recordkeeping, (c) comparisons with government lists, (d) customer notices or (e) other procedures required under the

CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

10.16     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 and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, 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, the

Commitments or this Agreement,

(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

105

(iv)     such

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

such Lender.

(v)     In

addition, unless either (1) Section 10.17(a)(i) is true with respect

to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in Section 10.17(a)(iv),

such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants,

from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of,

the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower,

that the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, are not 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).

10.17     Rate

Disclaimer. The Administrative Agent does not warrant

or accept responsibility for, and each of the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree (for the benefit of the Administrative

Agent) that the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission

of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Alternate Base Rate, any Benchmark, or any component definition thereof or rates

referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement),

including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark

Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, Alternate

Base Rate, any initial Benchmark or any other Benchmark or Benchmark Replacement prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the

effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or

other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Alternate Base Rate, or any Benchmark, any alternative,

successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse

to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Alternate

Base Rate, any initial Benchmark or any other Benchmark or Benchmark Replacement, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,

and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special,

punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or

in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

XI.     MISCELLANEOUS

11.1     Modifications,

Amendments or Waivers. With the written consent

of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, acting on behalf of all the Lenders, and the Borrower may from time to time enter

into written agreements amending or changing any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the rights of the Lenders

or the Borrower hereunder or thereunder, or may grant written waivers or consents hereunder or thereunder. Any such agreement, waiver

or consent made with such written consent shall be effective to bind all the Lenders and the Borrower; provided, that no such agreement,

waiver or consent may be made that will:

106

(a)     extend

or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any obligation to make Loans terminated pursuant to Section 9.2)

without the written consent of such Lender whose Commitment is being extended or increased (it being understood and agreed that a waiver

of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.2 or of any Default, Event

of Default, mandatory prepayment or a mandatory reduction in Commitments is not considered an extension or increase in Commitments of

any Lender);

(b)     postpone

any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment (including mandatory prepayment of Excess Cash Flow but excluding

other mandatory prepayments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) or any scheduled or mandatory

reduction of the Commitments hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any waiver of the imposition of interest at the Default Rate)

without the written consent of each Lender entitled to receive such payment or whose Commitments are to be reduced, it being understood

that the waiver of any mandatory prepayment of Loans (or any definition relating thereto), other than a mandatory prepayment of Excess

Cash Flow, shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest;

the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein (except pursuant to Section 3.7)

on, any Loan Borrowing or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or any fee payable hereunder

without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders

shall be necessary (i) to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to

pay interest at the Default Rate or (ii) to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the

effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;

(d)     change

Section 2.14 or Section 9.2(d) in

a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly affected

thereby;

(e)     change

any provision of this Section 11.1 or the definition of “Required

Lenders” without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(f)     [reserved];

(g)     release

the Borrower without the consent of each Lender;

provided

that no agreement, waiver or consent that would modify the

interests, rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent may be made without the written consent of such Administrative Agent, as

applicable; and provided, further that, if in connection with any proposed waiver, amendment or modification referred to in Sections

11.1(a) through 11.1(g) above, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other

Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower shall have the

right to replace any such Non-Consenting Lender with one or more replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 3.6.

107

Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver

or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable

Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended

without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected

Lender that by its terms affects such Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require

the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

Notwithstanding

anything to the contrary contained herein, if following the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have identified

an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of this Agreement or any

other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall

become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document if the same is

not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof. It is understood

that posting such amendment electronically on SyndTrak or another relevant website with notice of such posting by the Administrative

Agent to the Required Lenders shall be deemed adequate receipt of notice of any such amendment.

11.2     No

Implied Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No course

of dealing and no delay or failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under

this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall

any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. The rights

and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive

of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.

Notwithstanding

anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document and once any portion of the Loans is held by a Lender that is

not an affiliate of the GCI Group, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against

the Borrower 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 for the benefit of the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not

prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely

in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) [reserved], (c) any Lender from

exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.2 (subject to the terms

of Section 2.14), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing

and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to the Borrower in any Insolvency Proceedings.

108

11.3     Expenses;

Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a)     Costs

and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates

(including Attorney Costs of the Administrative Agent) in connection with the syndication of the Facilities, the preparation, negotiation,

execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any amendments, modifications or waivers of

the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) [reserved],

and (iii) all out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including Attorney Costs of the Administrative

Agent or any Lender), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the

other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all

such out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b)     Indemnification

by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Lender, and each Related

Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee

harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by any Indemnitee

or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower and the expense of investigation) other than such Indemnitee

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 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 or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower

or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or 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, and regardless

of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent

that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final

and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from

a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for gross negligence and willful misconduct of such Indemnitee’s obligations

hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim

as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 11.3(b) shall

not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages and other similar amounts arising from any

non-Tax claim.

(d)     Waiver

of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and each hereby waives,

any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to

direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement

or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee

referred to in Section 11.3 shall be liable for any damages arising from the

use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other

information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby

or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined

by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e)     Payments.

All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.

(f)     Survival.

Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.3 shall survive the resignation

of the Administrative Agent, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge

of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(b)     Electronic

Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including

e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall

not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has

notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The

Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic

communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices

or communications.

Unless

the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received

upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested”

(ii)     The

incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s

The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable

in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity

or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining

provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

11.6     Duration;

Survival. All representations and warranties of

the Borrower contained herein or made in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the completion

and the agreements of the Borrower set forth in Section 11.10 or any other

provision of any Loan Documents shall survive Payment In Full and shall protect the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and any other Indemnitees

against events arising after such termination as well as before. All other covenants and agreements of the Borrower shall continue in

full force and effect from and after the date hereof and until Payment In Full.

111

11.7     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 the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or

obligations hereunder 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 assignee in accordance with the provisions of this Section,

hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under

(b)     Assignments

by Lenders. (I) During the Acquisition Agreement Period, assignments of any portion of a Lender’s rights and obligations under

this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, and the Loans at the time owing to it) shall be limited to such Lender’s

Affiliates or Approved Fund (and any such assignment to a Person other than such Lender’s Affiliates or Approved Funds shall be

deemed void ab initio) and (II) after the Acquisition Agreement Period, any Lender may at any time assign to one or more

assignees all or any 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 (in each case and with respect to any Facility) any such assignment shall be subject to

the following conditions:

(i)     Minimum

Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans

of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such

assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption,

as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of any Term Loan Facility, unless each

of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each

such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

112

(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 Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.

(iii)     Required

Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment

except to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) of this Section 11.7 and in addition:

(A)     the

consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default

has occurred and is continuing 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 ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B)     the

acknowledgment of the Administrative Agent shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any unfunded Commitments with respect

to any Term Loan Facility if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such Facility or Tranche

of such Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, or (ii) any Term Loans to a Person

who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(iv)     Assignment

and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption.

The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v)     No

Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (i) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates

or Subsidiaries or (ii) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,

would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (v) or (iii) any Disqualified Institution.

(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 or operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person); provided that this clause (vi) shall not apply to

John C. Malone (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned or operated for the primary benefit of, John C. Malone).

113

(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, the Issuing Lender 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 of the applicable Facility. 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 this Section, from and after the effective date specified

in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned

by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder

shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement

(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,

such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.5 and 11.3(b) 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 of release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s 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 Section 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 Section 11.7(d) below.

The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its Principal Office,

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. The parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such, has no duty

to monitor or enforce assignments, participations or other actions with respect to Disqualified Institutions and no responsibility or

liability with respect to any assignments made by Lenders to a Disqualified Institution.

114

(d)     Participations.

Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent sell participations to any Participant

(including John C. Malone (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned or operated for the primary benefit of, a

natural Person)) 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. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible

for the indemnity under Section 11.3(c) with respect to any payments

made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any

agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right

to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such

agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification

or waiver described in Sections 11.1(a) through (g) that

affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections

3.1, 3.2 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including

the requirements under Section 3.2 (it being understood that the documentation

required under Section 3.2 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)),

3.5 and 11.3 to the same

extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 11.7;

provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.6

as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section 11.7; and

(B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1

or 3.2, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would

have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs

after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. 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 3.6

with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.2(c) as

though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14

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 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 or other obligation is in

the 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 owners of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Each Lender that sells

a participation shall provide concurrent notice of the same to the Lender Representative and, in the event that such sale impacts the

CoBank Credit Agreement’s restricted payments covenant exception governing the payment of cash interest on the Loans, the Lender

Representative will give prompt notice of the same to Intermediate Holdings and CoBank.

115

(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.

11.8     Confidentiality.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except

that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its 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) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related

Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent

required by applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with

the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any

other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially

the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any

of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap,

derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement

or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries

or the Facilities or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP

numbers with respect to the Facilities; (h) with the consent of the Borrower; (i) as permitted by the Closing Date Acquisition

Agreement; or (j) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this

Section, or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential

basis from a source other than the Borrower.

For

purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries

relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries 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 or any of its Subsidiaries;

provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries 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.

11.9     Counterparts;

Integration; Effectiveness.

(a)     This

Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute

an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and

any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties

relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to

the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article IV, this Agreement

shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received

counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart

of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”)

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

116

(b)     Electronic

Execution of Loan Documents. The parties agree that the electronic signature of a party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document

shall be as valid as an original signature of such party and shall be effective to bind such party to this Agreement or such other Loan

Document. The parties agree that any electronically signed Loan Document (including this Agreement) shall be deemed (i) to be “written”

or “in writing,” (ii) to have been signed and (iii) to constitute a record established and maintained in

the ordinary course of business and an original written record when printed from electronic files. The parties presently intend to authenticate

the Loan Documents to which they are a party by either signing such Loan Document or attaching thereto or logically associating therewith

an electronic sound, symbol or process as their respective electronic signature. The words “execution,” “signed,”

“signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement and any other Loan Document (including any Assignment and

Assumption) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,

validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to

the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act,

the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions

Act.

11.10     Choice

of Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Venue; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)     Governing

as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance

with, the law of the State of New York.

(b)     SUBMISSION

TO JURISDICTION. THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION

OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES SOUTHERN DISTRICT COURT OF NEW YORK, SITTING

OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY

AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION 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 JUDGMENT

IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY

OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL (I) 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 ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION OR (II) WAIVE ANY STATUTORY, REGULATORY, COMMON LAW, OR OTHER RULE,

DOCTRINE, LEGAL RESTRICTION, PROVISION OR THE LIKE PROVIDING FOR THE TREATMENT OF BANK BRANCHES, BANK AGENCIES, OR OTHER BANK OFFICES

IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR

ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 11.10. EACH

OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM

TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY SUCH DEFENSE.

(d)     SERVICE

OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 11.4.

THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER

PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER

PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS

AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

118

11.11     USA

Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject

to the USA Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant

to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which

information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent,

as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the

Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests

in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Terrorism Laws and Sanctions, including the

USA Patriot Act.

11.12     Payments

Set Aside. To the extent the Borrower makes a payment

or payments to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders which payments or proceeds 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 Insolvency Proceeding, other applicable Law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds repaid, the

Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds

had not been received by the Administrative Agent.

11.13     [Reserved].

11.14     Interest

Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents, together with all fees, charges

and other amounts treated as interest under applicable Laws (collectively, “Charges”) shall not exceed the maximum

rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any

Lender shall receive interest and Charges in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest and Charges shall be applied

to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest

and Charges contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to

the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather

than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in

equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

11.15     FCC

and PUC Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to

the contrary in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, no party hereto or thereto shall take any action under this Agreement or

the other Loan Documents that would constitute or result in an assignment of any License, or a Change of Control or action of the Borrower

or Subsidiary directly or indirectly holding a License or other action, to the extent that such assignment or Change of Control would

require the prior approval by the FCC under the Communications Act and/or any applicable PUC under the PUC Laws without first obtaining

such required approval.

119

Upon

any action to commence the exercise of remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby undertakes and agrees

on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, to cooperate and join with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and cause its Subsidiaries,

to cooperate and join with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in any application to any Governmental Authority which may be required

in order to permit the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to exercise its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and to provide

such assistance in connection therewith as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may request, including the preparation of, consenting

to or joining in of filings and appearances of officers and employees of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower before such Governmental

Authority, in each case in support of any such application made by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; provided, however, nothing

herein shall be construed to require the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, violate any terms or conditions

of any License. The obligation of the Borrower to make all payments required to be made under this Agreement or any other Loan Document

shall be absolute and unconditional; provided, however, in the event any portion of the debt, is disallowed under applicable Law or by

action of the FCC or any PUC, then such disallowance shall be limited to the Borrower and Loan amounts impacted by such FCC or PUC action

or required by applicable Law.

11.16     [Reserved].

11.17     No

Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection

with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof

or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) (i) no

fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, or any Lender is intended

to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether

the Administrative Agent, or any Lender has advised or is advising the Borrower or any Subsidiary on other matters, (ii) the arranging

and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions

between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (iii) the

Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate and (iv) 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; and (b) (i) the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders each is and has been acting solely as

a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor,

agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person; (ii) none of the Administrative Agent, and the

Lenders 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, and the Lenders and

their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, 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 and the Lenders has

any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Borrower

hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against any of the Administrative Agent 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.

11.18     [Reserved].

120

11.19     Recovery

of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any

other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender (each, a

“Lender Party”), whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Borrower at such time (any such payment,

an “Erroneous Payment”), then in any such event, each Lender Party receiving an Erroneous Payment severally agrees

to repay to the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand the Erroneous Payment received by such Lender Party in immediately available

funds (and in the currency so received). Each Lender Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge

for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect

of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Erroneous Payment. The Administrative Agent shall inform

each Lender Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender Party comprised, in whole or in part, an Erroneous Payment

(and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).

11.20     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
