Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
On August 24, 2026, BioXcel
Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Fourteenth Amendment to Credit Agreement and Guaranty (the “Fourteenth
Amendment”), which amended the Credit Agreement and Guaranty, dated April 19, 2022, as amended (the “Credit Agreement”),
by and among the Company, as the borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company from time to time party thereto as subsidiary guarantors,
the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Oaktree Fund Administration LLC, as administrative agent.
Pursuant to the Fourteenth
Amendment, the Lenders made additional loans to the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $1,250,000 (the “Amendment No. 14
Term Loans”). The Company paid an upfront fee of $250,000, or 20% of the aggregate principal amount, in respect of the Amendment
No. 14 Term Loans. Other than the upfront fee, the Amendment No. 14 Term Loans are subject to identical economic and other terms as the
preexisting loans under the Credit Agreement.
In addition, pursuant to the
Fourteenth Amendment, among other things:
· The Lenders agreed to reduce the Credit Agreement’s
minimum liquidity covenant to require minimum cash liquidity of $250,000 (instead of $3.0 million).
· The Company is required to, on or prior to August
31, 2026 (extended from August 28, 2026, as was required under the Thirteenth Amendment), enter into definitive agreements with respect
to one or more transactions acceptable to Lenders that (A) would result in the repayment of all loan and other obligations under the Credit
Agreement or (B) is an alternative capital solutions transaction on terms and conditions acceptable to the Lenders.
· Certain covenants and thresholds under the Credit Agreement were amended
to remove flexibility the Company and its subsidiaries previously had thereunder to undertake certain transactions, including, without
limitation, with respect to out-licensing of intellectual property and sales of assets.
The foregoing summary of the Fourteenth Amendment is qualified in its
entirety by the complete text of such agreement, a form of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

by the Releasing Parties pursuant to this Section 7. The foregoing release, covenant
and waivers of this Section 7 shall survive and remain in full force and effect

any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.
-5-

absolute and unconditional nature of the release set forth above.

such party under the Loan Documents, nor shall it be deemed to create or infer a course of
dealing between any such party, on the one hand, and the Borrower and the Guarantors, on
the other hand, with regard to any provision of the Loan Documents. This Amendment shall
constitute a Loan Document.

Section 3.
PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST, ETC.
3.01 Scheduled
Repayments and Prepayments Generally; Application. The Borrower hereby promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender (as such amounts may in each case be reduced from time to time in accordance with Section 3.03): (i) on
each Payment Date occurring on or after March 31, 2026 through the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal
amount of the Loans in consecutive quarterly installments of 5.0% of the principal amount of funded Loans outstanding on March 31,
2026 (which installments shall, to the extent applicable, be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments), together with the
applicable Prepayment Fee, unless sooner required to be repaid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) on the Maturity
Date, all outstanding Obligations in full (together with the accrued and unpaid interest and any other accrued and unpaid charges thereon
and all other obligations due and payable by the Borrower under this Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each
payment (including each repayment and prepayment) by the Borrower (other than fees payable pursuant to the Fee Letter) will be deemed
to be made ratably in accordance with the Lenders’ Proportionate Shares. On any date occurring prior to the Maturity Date that
payment or prepayment in full of the Loans hereunder occurs, the Borrower shall pay in full all outstanding Obligations, which shall
include the Prepayment Fee, if applicable.
45
3.02 Interest.
(a) Interest
Generally. The outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall accrue interest from the date made to repayment (whether by acceleration
or otherwise and whether voluntary or mandatory) at the Interest Rate.
(b) Default
Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Interest Rate
shall increase automatically by two percent (2.0%) per annum (the Interest Rate, as increased pursuant to this Section 3.02(b),
being the “Default Rate”). If any Obligation (including fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder) is not
paid when due (giving effect to any applicable grace period) under any applicable Loan Document, the amount thereof shall accrue interest
at the Default Rate and such Default Rate interest shall be due and payable in cash on demand.
(c) Interest
Payment Dates. Accrued interest on the Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date in cash, and upon the payment or prepayment
of the Loans (on the principal amount being so paid or prepaid); provided that interest payable at the Default Rate shall also
be payable in cash from time to time on demand by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (I) commencing on the
first Payment Date on which interest on the Loans is owed and continuing through, and including, September 30, 2024, any interest
above 8.00% per annum for each applicable period shall be payable in kind by capitalizing and adding such interest to the outstanding
principal amount of the Loans on such Payment Date (“PIK Interest”) and (II) commencing on the Payment
Date occurring on December 31, 2024 and continuing through, and including, June 30, 2025, any interest above 3.00% per annum
(other than Default Interest or following an Event of Default) for each applicable period shall be PIK Interest; provided, that
the Borrower may, at its option, irrevocably elect, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, by 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time)
three (3) Business Days prior to any Payment Date, to decrease the rate of interest per annum capitalized as PIK Interest for such
Payment Date by paying such amount in cash, or that no PIK Interest will be capitalized for such Payment Date, and, in each case, Borrower
will pay such amount of interest that is owing and not capitalized as PIK Interest in cash as regular interest on such Payment Date.
For the avoidance of doubt, commencing on the Payment Date occurring on September 30, 2025, all interest shall be payable in cash.
For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, PIK Interest capitalized pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall
constitute a portion of the principal amount outstanding of the Loans hereunder and shall bear interest in accordance with this Section 3
and all references herein or in any other Loan Document to the principal amount of the Loans shall include all interest accrued and
capitalized as a result of any payment of PIK Interest. Any PIK Interest shall automatically be capitalized on the applicable Payment
Date in accordance with the foregoing.
46
3.03 Prepayments.
(a) Optional
Prepayments.
(i) Subject
to prior written notice pursuant to clause (ii) below, the Borrower shall have the right to optionally prepay in whole or
in part the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on any Business Day for an amount equal to the sum of (A) the aggregate principal
amount of the Loans being prepaid, (B) any accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Loans being prepaid, (C) any
applicable Prepayment Fee and (D) if applicable, other unpaid amounts then due and owing pursuant to this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (such aggregate amount, the “Prepayment Price”); provided that each partial prepayment
of principal of Loans shall be in an aggregate amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(ii) A
notice of optional prepayment shall be effective only if received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern
time) on a date not less than two (2) (nor more than five (5)) Business Days prior to the proposed prepayment date; provided
that a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the
receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which
case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date
of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Each notice of optional prepayment shall specify the proposed prepayment date, the
Prepayment Price, the principal amount to be prepaid and any conditions to prepayment (if applicable).
(b) Mandatory
Prepayments.
(i) Mandatory
Prepayments for Casualty Events or Asset Sales. Within three (3) Business Days of the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from the
occurrence of any Casualty Event or Asset Sale (that is not otherwise permitted by Section 9.09), the Borrower shall make
a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to the sum of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received
by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to such Asset Sale or insurance proceeds or condemnation awards in respect of
such Casualty Event, as the case may be, (ii) any accrued but unpaid interest on any principal amount of the Loans being prepaid
and (iii) any applicable Prepayment Fee; provided that,
so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom, if, within ten (10) Business Days following the
occurrence of any such Casualty Event or Asset Sale as a result of which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries receives Net Cash Proceeds
in an aggregate amount less than $10,000,000, a Responsible Officer of the Borrower
delivers to the Administrative Agent a notice to the effect that the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary
intends to apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale or insurance proceeds or condemnation awards in respect of such Casualty
Event, to reinvest in the business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (a “Reinvestment”), then such
Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale or insurance proceeds or condemnation awards in respect of such Casualty Event may be applied for
such purpose in lieu of such mandatory prepayment to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Sale or insurance proceeds or condemnation
awards in respect of such Casualty Event are actually applied for such purpose; provided,
further, that, if such Casualty Event or Asset Sale occurs with respect to any Obligor, such
Reinvestment shall be made in the business of an Obligor; provided, further,
that, in the event that Net Cash Proceeds have not been so applied within three hundred sixty-five (365) days (the “Reinvestment
Period”) following the occurrence of such Casualty Event or Asset Sale, the Borrower shall no later than the end of such
period make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the
unused balance of such Net Cash Proceeds received by any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to such Asset Sale or insurance
proceeds or condemnation awards in respect of such Casualty Event, (ii) any accrued but unpaid interest on any principal
amount of the Loans being prepaid and (iii) any applicable Prepayment Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no mandatory prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 3.03(b)(i)(A) as a result of any Permitted License..
47
(ii) Mandatory
Prepayments for Debt Issuances. Immediately upon receipt by any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries of proceeds from any issuance,
incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness other than Indebtedness permitted by Section 9.01, on or after the Closing Date,
the Borrower shall prepay the Loans and other Obligations in an amount equal to 100% of the cash proceeds received, plus the Prepayment
Fee, if applicable.
(iii) Notice.
The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on a date not less than two (2) Business
Days prior to any mandatory prepayment. Each notice of mandatory prepayment shall specify the proposed prepayment date, the Prepayment
Price, the principal amount to be prepaid and the subsection under which the prepayment is required. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 3.03 to the contrary, any Lender may elect, by written notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern
time), one (1) Business Day prior to the prepayment date (or such later time as the Administrative Agent may agree), to decline
all or any portion of any mandatory prepayment of its Loans pursuant to this Section 3.03. Any Lender that fails to deliver
such notice to the Administrative Agent in the time frame set forth above shall be deemed to have accepted its share of any mandatory
prepayment. The aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Loans but was so declined may be retained by
the Borrower and used for any general corporate purpose not prohibited by this Agreement.
(c) Application.
All prepayments of the Loans shall be applied to principal installments on the Loans in the inverse order of maturity.
(d) Prepayment
Fee. Without limiting the foregoing, whenever the Prepayment Fee is in effect and payable pursuant to the terms hereof or any other
Loan Document, such Prepayment Fee shall be payable on each prepayment of all or any portion of the Loans, whether by optional or mandatory
prepayment, acceleration or otherwise (other than any prepayment pursuant to Section 5.02 or any scheduled amortization payment).
(e) Partial
Prepayments. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02.
48
3.04 Commitment

by the Lenders of the Loans to which such Applicable Commitment relates on the Applicable Funding Date, (ii) the last day of the
Applicable Availability Period and (iii) the acceleration of the Loans hereunder. The Borrower shall have the right at any time
or from time to time to terminate in full (but not in part) all the then outstanding Applicable Commitments; provided that the
Borrower shall give the Lender at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of each such termination. The termination of any Applicable
Commitment shall be permanent.
Section 4.

by the Administrative Agent by notice to the Borrower, and (ii) not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date on which

(c) Non-Business
Days. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement (whether in respect of principal, interest, fees, costs or otherwise) would
otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case
of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall continue to accrue and be payable for the period of such extension; provided
that if such next succeeding Business Day would fall after the Maturity Date, payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
Day.
4.02 Computations.
All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days and actual
days elapsed during the period for which payable.
4.03 Set-Off.
(a) Set-Off
Generally. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders
and each of their Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at
any time owing by the Administrative Agent, any Lender and any of their Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor
against any and all of the Obligations, whether or not such Person shall have made any demand and although such obligations may be unmatured.
Any Person exercising rights of set off hereunder agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and each of their Affiliates under this Section 4.03 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of set-off) that such Persons may have.
(b) Exercise
of Rights Not Required. Nothing contained in Section 4.03(a) shall require the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or any of their Affiliates to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of such Persons to exercise, and retain the benefits
of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of any Obligor.
(c) Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Obligor is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of the foregoing exercises its right of setoff pursuant to this Section 4.03,
and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate in
its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then
(i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (ii) each Lender severally agrees
to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by
the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal
to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.
50
Section 5.
YIELD PROTECTION, TAXES, ETC.
5.01 Additional
Costs.
(a) Change
in Law Generally. If, on or after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Lender, such later date on which such Lender becomes
a party to this Agreement), the adoption of any Law, or any change in any Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any court or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the
Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders (or its lending office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) of any such Governmental Authority, shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any such requirement imposed
by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, contribution, insurance assessment or similar requirement,
in each case that becomes effective after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Lender, such later date on which such Lender becomes
a party to this Agreement), against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, a Lender (or its lending office)
or shall impose on a Lender (or its lending office) any other condition affecting the Loans or the Commitment, and the result of any
of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining the Loans, or to reduce the amount of any sum received
or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or subject any Lender to any Taxes on its Loan, Commitment
or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital (if any) attributable thereto by an amount reasonably deemed
by such Lender in good faith to be material (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through
(iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes), then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender
on demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.
(b) Change
in Capital Requirements. If a Lender shall have determined that, on or after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Lender, such
later date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement), the adoption of any Law regarding capital adequacy, or any change
therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation
or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Lender, such later date on
which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of a Lender
(or its parent) as a consequence of a Lender’s obligations hereunder or the Loans to a level below that which a Lender (or its
parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive by an amount reasonably deemed by it to be material,
then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender on demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its parent)
for such reduction.
51
(c) Notification
by Lender. Each Lender promptly will notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date
(or, with respect to any Lender, such later date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement), which will entitle such Lender
to compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01. Before giving any such notice pursuant to this Section 5.01(c) such
Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation (x) will, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, avoid
the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and (y) will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be materially
disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this Section 5.01, setting forth
the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest
error.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines
or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by
the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United
States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to constitute a change in
Law for all purposes of this Section 5.01, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
5.02 Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that on or after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Lender,
such later date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) the adoption of or any change in any Law or in the interpretation
or application thereof by any competent Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful for a Lender or its lending office to make or maintain
the Loans (and, in the opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different lending office would either not avoid such unlawfulness
or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof, following which if such Law
shall so mandate, the Loans shall be prepaid by the Borrower on or before such date as shall be mandated by such Law in an amount equal
to the Prepayment Price (notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, without any Prepayment Fee) applicable on such prepayment date
in accordance with Section 3.03(a).
5.03 Taxes.
(a) Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes,
except as required by any Law. If any 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 Laws and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Obligor 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 5) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had
no such deduction or withholding been made.
52
(b) Payment
of Other Taxes by the Obligors. The Obligors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent or each Lender, timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.
(c) Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by an Obligor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5,
such Obligor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original, a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d) Indemnification
by the Obligors. The Obligors shall reimburse and 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 5) 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 Obligors 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 Lender. 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 Obligors have not already indemnified the
Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Obligors to do so), and (ii) 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 Section 5.03(e).
(f) 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 Law as reasonably requested by the Borrower
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 (2) sentences, the completion, execution and
submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.03(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B), and (ii)(D))
shall not be required if in such 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.
53
(ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:
(A) any
Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding
tax;
(B) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following
is applicable:
(1) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E as applicable (or
successor forms) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest”
article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN
or IRS Form W-8BEN-E as applicable (or successor forms) 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 (or successor form);
(3) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank”
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning
of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described
in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies
of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E as applicable (or successor forms); or
54
(4) to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by
IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or D-3, IRS Form W-9 (or successor form), and/or other
certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one
or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide
a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.
(C) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other
form prescribed by applicable Laws 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 Laws 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.
(g) Treatment
of Certain Tax Benefits. If any party to this Agreement 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 5 (including by the payment of additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 5), 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 5 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay
to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 5.03(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to
such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.03(g), in no event will the indemnified
party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.03(g) 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 Section 5.03(g) 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.
55
(h) Each
party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Tranche A-1 Term Loans are part of an investment unit within the meaning of Section 1273(c)(2) of
the Code, which includes the Company Warrants issued on the Closing Date. For federal income tax purposes, pursuant to Treasury Regulations
§ 1.1273-2(h), the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that the “issue price” of the Tranche
A-1 Term Loans is 98% of the stated principal amount of the Tranche A-1 Term Loans minus the Final Valuation (as that term is defined
in Section 16 of the Company Warrant) of the Company Warrants issued on the Closing Date. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders agree (i) to use the foregoing issue price and Final Valuation for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) to prepare and file all Tax returns in a manner consistent with such allocation,
and shall not to take any position that is inconsistent with the provision of this Section 5.03(h) on any Tax return
or in any audit (unless otherwise required by a final determination by the IRS or a court of competent jurisdiction).
5.04 Mitigation
Obligations. If the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, then such Lender shall (at
the request of the Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans
hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the
sole reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation would (i) eliminate or reduce amounts payable
pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) not subject such Lender
to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (iii) 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 and delegation.
5.05 [Reserved].
5.06 Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent
or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

the confidentiality thereof, which agreements, to the knowledge of each Obligor and their Subsidiaries, have not been breached in any
material respect.
(G) except
as would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to be material to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to

failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default

viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered thereby may differ from such projected results and that
the differences may be material.

The Obligors, on a consolidated basis, are and, immediately after giving effect to the making of the Loans, the use of proceeds thereof,
and the consummation of the Transactions, will be, Solvent.

7.17 Pension
Matters. Schedule 7.17 sets forth, as of the Closing Date, a complete and correct list of, and that separately identifies,
(i) all Title IV Plans, (ii) all Multiemployer Plans and (iii) all material Benefit Plans. Each Benefit Plan, and each

of the most recent valuation date for any Title IV Plan, the funding target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of
the Code) is at least sixty percent (60%), and neither any Obligor nor any of its ERISA Affiliates knows of any facts or circumstances
that could reasonably be expected to cause the funding target attainment percentage to fall below sixty percent (60%) as of the most
recent valuation date. As of the Closing Date, no ERISA Event has occurred in connection with which obligations and liabilities (contingent
or otherwise) remain outstanding. No ERISA Affiliate would have any Withdrawal Liability as a result of a complete withdrawal from any
Multiemployer Plan on the date this representation is made.

Obligor and each of its Subsidiaries holds, and will continue to hold, either directly or through licensees and agents, all Product Authorizations

or any Product Commercialization and Development Activities, and, to the knowledge of any Obligor, there is no basis in fact for any

and Development Activities or any Product Authorization within the last two (2) years, (2) no such product recall, safety alert,
correction, withdrawal, marketing suspension, removal or the like has been requested, demanded or ordered by any Regulatory Authority
within the last two (2) years, and, to the knowledge of any Obligor, there is no basis in fact for the issuance of any such product

and regardless of amount) in respect of any Material Indebtedness, when and as the same shall become due and payable after giving effect
to any applicable grace or cure period as originally provided by the terms of such Indebtedness.
(g) Other
Defaults on Other Indebtedness. (i) Any material breach of, or “event of default” or similar event under, any Contract

99
11.02 Remedies.
(a) Defaults
Other Than Bankruptcy Defaults. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, then, and in every such event (other than an Event of
Default described in Section 11.01(h)), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative
Agent may (or upon the direction of the Majority Lenders, shall), by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans then outstanding to be
due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to
be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon
and all fees and other Obligations, including any applicable Prepayment Fee shall become due and payable immediately (in the case of
the Loans, at the Prepayment Price therefor), without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
waived by each Obligor.
(b) Bankruptcy
Defaults. In case of an Event of Default described in Section 11.01(h), the principal of the Loans then outstanding,
together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Obligations, including any applicable Prepayment Fee shall automatically
become due and payable immediately (in the case of the Loans, at the Prepayment Price therefor), without presentment, demand, protest
or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Obligor.
11.03 Additional
Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Obligor shall be in default under a Material Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cause the default or defaults under such Material Agreement to
be remedied (including by paying any unpaid amount thereunder) and otherwise exercise any and all rights of such Obligor, as the case
may be, thereunder, as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default. Without limiting the foregoing, upon any such default, each Obligor
shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrative Agent such instruments as may reasonably be required of such Obligor
to permit the Administrative Agent to cure any default under the applicable Material Agreement or permit the Administrative Agent to
take such other action required to enable the Administrative Agent to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve the interests
of the Administrative Agent. Any amounts paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.03 shall be payable
in accordance with Section 14.03(a), shall accrue interest at the Default Rate if not paid when due, and shall constitute
“Obligations.”
11.04 [Reserved].
100
11.05 Payment
of Prepayment Fee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Prepayment Fee shall automatically be due and
payable at any time the Obligations become due and payable prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with the terms hereof as though such
Indebtedness was voluntarily prepaid and shall constitute part of the Obligations, whether due to acceleration pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement (in which case it shall be due immediately, upon the giving of notice to Borrower in accordance with Section 11.02(a),
or automatically, in accordance with Section 11.02(b)), by operation of law or otherwise (including,
without limitation, on account of any bankruptcy filing), in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining
the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such acceleration, and by mutual agreement
of the parties as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders as a result thereof. If
the Prepayment Fee becomes due and payable pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Prepayment Fee shall be deemed to be principal of
the Loans and interest shall accrue on the full principal amount of the Loans (including the Prepayment Fee) from and after the applicable
triggering event. Any Prepayment Fee payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained
by each Lender as the result of the early termination, acceleration or prepayment and each Obligor agrees that such Prepayment Fee is
reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Prepayment Fee shall also become due andbe
payable under this Agreement in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are
satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means or
the Obligations are reinstated pursuant to Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code. If the Prepayment Fee becomes due and payable pursuant
to this Agreement, the Prepayment Fee shall be deemed to be principal of the Loans and Obligations under this Agreement and interest
shall accrue on the full principal amount of the Loans (including the Prepayment Fee) from and after the applicable triggering event.
In the event the Prepayment Fee is determined not to be due and payable by order of any court of competent jurisdiction, including by
operation of the Bankruptcy Code, despite such a triggering event having occurred, the Prepayment Fee shall nonetheless constitute Obligations
under this Agreement for all purposes hereunder. Each Obligor hereby waives the provisions of
any present or future statute or law that prohibits or may prohibit the collection of the prepayment fee and any defense to payment,
whether such defense may be based in public policy, ambiguity, or otherwise. The Obligors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
acknowledge and agree that any Prepayment Fee due and payable in accordance with this Agreement shall not constitute unmatured interest,
whether under Section 5.02(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Each Obligor further acknowledges and agrees, and waives
any argument to the contrary, that payment of such amount does not constitute a penalty or an otherwise unenforceable or invalid obligation.
Each Obligor expressly agrees that (i) the Prepayment Fee is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s-length transaction
between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the Prepayment Fee shall be payable notwithstanding the
then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Obligors
giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Fee, (iv) the Obligors shall not
challenge or question, or support any other person in challenging or questioning, the validity or enforceability of the Prepayment Fee
or any similar or comparable prepayment fee under the circumstances described herein, and shall be estopped hereafter from claiming
differently than as agreed to in this Section 11.05, (v) their agreement to pay the Prepayment Fee is a material inducement
to the Lenders to make the Loans, and (vi) the Prepayment Fee represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the
lost profits, losses or other damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual
amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such event. The
Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the payment of the Prepayment Fee to the Lenders as herein described is a material
inducement to Lenders to enter into this Agreement.
101
Section 12.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
12.01 Appointment
and Duties. Subject in all cases to clause (c) below:
(a) Appointment
of the Administrative Agent. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC (together with any
successor Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.09) as the Administrative Agent hereunder and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to (i) execute and deliver the Loan Documents and accept delivery thereof on its behalf from any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries,
(ii) take such action on its behalf and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies and perform the duties as are expressly delegated
to the Administrative Agent under such Loan Documents and (iii) exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except

as Collateral and Disbursing Agent. Without limiting the generality of Section 12.01(a), the Administrative Agent shall
have the sole and exclusive right and authority (to the exclusion of the Lenders), and is hereby authorized, to (i) act as the disbursing
and collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents (including
in any proceeding described in Section 11.01(h) or any other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding), and each
Person making any payment in connection with any Loan Document to any Secured Party is hereby authorized to make such payment to the
Administrative Agent, (ii) file and prove claims and file other documents necessary or desirable to allow the claims of the Secured

for each Secured Party for purposes of acquiring, holding, enforcing and perfecting all Liens created by the Loan Documents and all other
purposes stated therein, (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (v) take such other action as is necessary
or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the Liens created or purported to be created by the Loan Documents, (vi) except

provided that the Administrative Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender to act as collateral sub-agent for
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any deposit
account maintained by a Obligor with, and cash and cash equivalents held by, such Lender, and may further authorize and direct the Lenders
to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for purposes of enforcing such Liens or otherwise to transfer the Collateral subject
thereto to the Administrative Agent, and each Lender hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent,
so authorized and directed.
102
(c) Limited
Duties. The Lenders and the Obligors hereby each acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent (i) has undertaken its
role hereunder purely as an accommodation to the parties hereto and the Transactions, (ii) is receiving no compensation for undertaking
such role and (iii) subject only to the notice provisions set forth in Section 12.09, may resign from such role at any
time for any reason or no reason whatsoever. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that under
the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent (i) is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders (except to the limited extent provided
in Section 12.11), with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the defined term “the
Administrative Agent”, the terms “agent”, “administrative agent” and “collateral agent” and
similar terms in any Loan Document to refer to the Administrative Agent, which terms are used for title purposes only, (ii) is not
assuming any duty or obligation under any Loan Document other than as expressly set forth therein or any role as agent, fiduciary or
trustee of or for any Lender or any other Secured Party and (iii) shall have no implied functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations
or other liabilities under any Loan Document (fiduciary or otherwise), in each case, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and
is continuing, and each Lender hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on the roles,
duties and legal relationships expressly disclaimed in this clause (c). Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement 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 any Obligor 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.
12.02 Binding
Effect. Each Lender agrees that (i) any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders (or, if expressly required
hereby, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, (ii) any action taken by the
Administrative Agent in reliance upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) and (iii) the
exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth
herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of
the Secured Parties.
12.03 Use
of Discretion.
(a) No
Action without Instructions. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take, or to omit to take,
any action, including with respect to enforcement or collection, except (subject to clause (b) below) any action it is required
to take or omit to take (i) under any Loan Document or (ii) pursuant to written instructions from the Majority Lenders (or,
where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders).
103
(b) Right
Not to Follow Certain Instructions. Notwithstanding Section 12.03(a) or any other term or provision of this Section 12,
the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take, any action (i) unless, upon demand, the Administrative
Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders (or, to the extent applicable and acceptable to the Administrative
Agent, any other Secured Party) against all liabilities that, by reason of such action or omission, may be imposed on, incurred by or
asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Related Party thereof or (ii) that is, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent,
in its sole and absolute discretion, contrary to any Loan Document, Law or the best interests of the Administrative Agent or any of its
Affiliates or Related Parties, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay in connection
with any Insolvency Proceeding.
12.04 Delegation
of Rights and Duties. The Administrative Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights,
powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Loan Document by or through
any trustee, co-agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other Person (including any Secured Party). The Administrative Agent and any
such Person may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.
Any such Person and its Related Parties shall benefit from this Section 12 to the extent provided by the Administrative Agent;
provided, however, that the exculpatory provisions of this Section 12 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related
Parties of the Administrative Agent and of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with their
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.
12.05 Reliance
and Liability.
(a) the
Administrative Agent may, without incurring any liability hereunder, (i) consult with any of its Related Parties and, whether or
not selected by it, any other advisors, accountants and other experts (including advisors to, and accountants and experts engaged by,
any Obligor) and (ii) rely and act upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing
(including and electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution), telephone message or conversation
or oral conversation, in each case believed by it to be genuine and transmitted, signed or otherwise authenticated by the appropriate
parties. 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 written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.
104
(b) Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under
or in connection with any Loan Document, and each Lender and the Borrower hereby waive and shall not assert (and the Borrower shall cause
each other Obligor to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of liabilities
resulting primarily from the fraudulent conduct or behavior of the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Party (each
as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the duties expressly
set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(i) shall
not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of, or with the consent
of, the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall
believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 14.03) or for the actions or omissions
of any of its Related Parties selected with reasonable care (other than employees, officers and directors of the Administrative Agent,
when acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent);
(ii) shall
not be responsible to any Secured Party for the (a) validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (b) due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under
or in connection with, any Loan Document;
(iii) makes
no warranty or representation, and shall not be responsible, to any Secured Party for, and shall not have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into, any statement, document, information, certificate, report, representation or warranty made or furnished by or on behalf of any
Related Party, in or in connection with any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein, whether or not transmitted by the
Administrative Agent, including as to completeness, accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or results of any due
diligence performed by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan Documents, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement or elsewhere herein (other than to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent); and
(iv) shall
not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Loan Document or whether any
condition set forth in any Loan Document is satisfied or waived, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as to the
financial condition of any Obligor or as to the existence or continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event
of Default and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from
the Borrower, any Lender describing such Default or Event of Default clearly labeled “notice of default” (in which case the
Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Lenders);
and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through
(iv) above, each Lender and the Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and the Borrower shall cause each other
Obligor to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action it might have against the Administrative Agent based thereon.
105
12.06 Administrative
Agent Individually. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire stock and
stock equivalents of, accept deposits from, act as the financial advisor for or in any other advisory capacity for, or engage in any
kind of business with, any Obligor or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent and may receive separate
fees and other payments therefor. To the extent the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any Loan or otherwise becomes
a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations
and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”, “Majority Lender”, and any similar terms shall, except
where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its
individual capacity as Lender or as one of the Majority Lenders, respectively.
12.07 Lender
Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or any of their Related Parties or upon any document solely or in part because such document was transmitted by the Administrative Agent
or any of its Related Parties, conducted its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and
has made and continues to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under,
any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information
as it shall deem appropriate.
12.08 Expenses;
Indemnities.
(a) Each
Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by any Obligor) promptly
upon demand for such Lender’s Proportionate Share of any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial,
legal (including charges and disbursements of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and Hogan Lovells US LLP) and other advisors and Other
Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Obligor) that may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties
in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether
through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice
in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document.
(b) Each
Lender further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) and any Related Parties of the Administrative
Agent (or any such sub-agent) (to the extent not indefeasibly paid by any Obligor), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Proportionate
Share of the liabilities (including Taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments
made to on or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any
sub-agent thereof) or any Related Parties of the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in any matter relating to or arising out
of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant
to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof)
or any Related Parties of the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided
that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Parties of the Administrative Agent
(or any such sub-agent) to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or, as the case may be, such Related Party of the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.
106
12.09 Resignation
of the Administrative Agent.
(a) At
any time upon not less than 30 days prior written notice, the Administrative Agent may resign as the “the Administrative Agent”
hereunder, in whole or in part (in the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrative Agent). If the Administrative Agent delivers
any such notice, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be
(i) a Lender holding at least thirty percent (30%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans or any Affiliate thereof or
(ii) any other financial institution consented to by the Borrower (provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required
to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If a successor Administrative Agent has not been appointed on or before
the effectiveness of the resignation of the resigning Administrative Agent (or such earlier date as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders)
(the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the resigning Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated
to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint any Person reasonably chosen by it as the successor Administrative Agent, notwithstanding whether
the Majority Lenders have appointed a successor or the Borrower has consented to such successor. Whether or not a successor has been
appointed, such resignation shall become effective on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b) Effective
from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
under the Loan Documents to the extent set forth in the applicable resignation notice, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform
all of the duties of the Administrative Agent until a successor Administrative Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder,
(iii) the resigning Administrative Agent and its Related Parties shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document
other than with respect to (x) any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such resigning Administrative Agent was, or because
the Administrative Agent had been, validly acting as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents or (y) any continuing duties
such resigning Administrative Agent will continue to perform, and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 12.04, the
resigning Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent
its rights as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as
the Administrative Agent, a successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.
12.10 Release
of Collateral or Guarantors. Each Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs the Administrative Agent to release, and
the Administrative Agent hereby agrees, (or, in the case of Section 12.10(b), release or subordinate) the following:
(a) any
Subsidiary of the Borrower from its guaranty of any Obligation of any Obligor (i) if all of the Equity Interests in such Subsidiary
owned by any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries are disposed of in an Asset Sale permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant
to a waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such Asset Sale, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty
any Obligations pursuant to Section 8.11(a) and (ii) upon (x) termination of the Commitments and (y) payment
and satisfaction in full of all Loans and all other Obligations that the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due
and payable (other than inchoate indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made); and
107
(b) any
Lien held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral that is disposed of by an
Obligor in an Asset Sale permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), (ii) any property subject
to a Lien described in Section 9.02(c) and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Obligors, upon (x) termination
of the Commitments and (y) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans and all other Obligations that the Administrative Agent
has been notified in writing are then due and payable (other than inchoate indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for
which no claim has been made).
Each Lender hereby directs the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative
Agent hereby agrees, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from the Borrower, to execute and deliver or file such documents and to
perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the guarantees and Liens when and as directed in this Section 12.10
and deliver to the Borrower, at the expense of the Borrower, any portion of such Collateral so released pursuant to this Section 12.10
that is in possession of the Administrative Agent. In addition, in connection with any Permitted Licenses, each Lender hereby authorizes
Administrative Agent to, and at the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall, negotiate and enter into a non-disturbance
agreement and other similar agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
12.11 Additional
Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder
shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party
agrees, as among the Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by the
Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) this Section 12
and the decisions and actions of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this
Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 12.08 only to the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect
to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured
Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of Pro Rata Share or similar concept, (ii) each of the Administrative Agent
and each Lender shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of
whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured
or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and
(iii) such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any
action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document.
108
12.12 Agent
May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relating to
any Obligor, 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 on the Borrower or any
other Obligor) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention or such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations
that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders
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 Section 14.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any 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 to the Administrative Agent under Section 14.03.
12.13 Acknowledgements
of Lenders.
(a) If
the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient,
a “Payment Recipient”), that the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable discretion (whether
or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient
from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received
by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received
as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous
Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all
times remain the property of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received
such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than five Qatari Business Days thereafter,
return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made,
in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such
Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative
Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment
Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without limiting
any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Administrative Agent may not make any demand under this clause (a) with
respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within 5 Business Days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by
the applicable Payment Recipient.
109
(b) Without
limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, hereby further
agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest,
fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than,
or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any
of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of
payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or other such
recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case: (i) (A) in
the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation
from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)),
in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and (ii) such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient
that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error)
use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details
thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.13(b)(ii).
(c) Each
Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under
any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount
due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d) In
the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous
Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective
behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s
notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect
to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans”) in an amount equal to the
Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but
not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at
par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is
hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment
Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the
Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such
deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such
Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous
Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement
and its Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register
its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion,
sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous
Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof),
and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that
receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments
of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto
agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous
Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent
shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each
Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.
110
(e) The
parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the
Borrower or any other Obligor, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of
such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Obligor for the
purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f) To
the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives,
and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim
by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including waiver of any defense based on “discharge
for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g) Each
party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments
and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
111

GUARANTY
13.01 The

otherwise) of the Obligations, including (i) principal of and interest on the Loans, (ii) all fees and other amounts and Obligations
from time to time owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower and each other Obligor under this Agreement or under
any other Loan Document, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and (iii) the punctual and faithful
performance, keeping, observance and fulfillment by the Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors of all the agreements, conditions, covenants
and obligations of the Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors contained in the Loan Documents (such obligations being herein collectively

that if the Borrower or any other Obligor shall fail to pay any amount in full when due or perform any such obligation (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), the Subsidiary Guarantors will promptly pay the same or perform such obligation at the place
and in the manner specified herein or in the relevant Loan Document, as the case may be, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and
that in the case of any extension of time of payment or performance or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be
promptly paid in full or performed when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms
of such extension or renewal.
13.02 Obligations
Unconditional. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 13.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment
and performance and not of collection and are absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness,
validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred
to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and,
to the fullest extent permitted by all applicable Laws, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute
a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 13.02 that the obligations
of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, under any and all circumstances. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair
the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(a) at
any time or from time to time, without notice to the Subsidiary Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of
the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(b) any
of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done
or omitted;
(c) the
maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, modified,
supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall
be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole
or in part or otherwise dealt with;
112
(d) any
lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Secured Parties as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail
to be perfected or preserved;
(e) any
modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any such amendment which may increase
the amount of, or the interest rates applicable to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby;
(f) any
change in the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower, any Subsidiary
Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any Insolvency Proceeding or other similar proceeding affecting
the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any of their respective assets, or any
resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations;
(g) the
existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Subsidiary Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, any other Subsidiary
Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person,
whether in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions; provided that, notwithstanding any other provisions
in this Guaranty, nothing in this Guaranty shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;
(h) the
unenforceability or invalidity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the lack of genuineness, enforceability or validity
of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the collateral, if any, securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof,
or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor of any
of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason, related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable Law,
decree, order or regulation of any jurisdiction purporting to prohibit the payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations by the Borrower,
any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(i) the
disallowance, under any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, of all or any portion of the claims of the Secured Parties
or the Administrative Agent for repayment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(j) the
failure of any other guarantor to sign or become party to this Agreement or any amendment, change, or reaffirmation hereof;
(k) any
release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing
the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof,
or any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any nonperfection
or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations; or
113
(l) any
other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, such Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations,
the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions
of this Section 13.02 constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waive
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any
Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement or any
other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the
Guaranteed Obligations.
13.03 Discharge
Only Upon Payment in Full. Subject to any prior release herefrom of any Subsidiary Guarantor by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with (and pursuant to authority granted to the Administrative Agent under) the terms of this Agreement, each Subsidiary Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid
in full in cash (other than inchoate indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made) and all
other financing arrangements among the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor and the Secured Parties under or in connection with this
Agreement and each other Loan Document shall have terminated (herein, the “Termination Conditions”), and until
the prior and complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions all of the rights and remedies under this Guaranty and the other Loan
Documents shall survive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to release any Subsidiary of the Borrower
from its guaranty of any Obligation of any Obligor if all of the Equity Interests in such Subsidiary owned by any Obligor or any of its
Subsidiaries are disposed of in an Asset Sale permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), to the
extent that, after giving effect to such Asset Sale, such Subsidiary would not be required to guarantee any Obligations pursuant to Section 8.11(a).
13.04 Additional
Waivers; General Waivers.
(a) Additional
Waivers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly,

(ii) (A) notice
of acceptance hereof; (B) notice of any other financial accommodations made or maintained under the Loan Documents or the creation

Obligations at any reasonable time; (D) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower or of any other
fact that might increase such Subsidiary Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (E) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest,
and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Loan Documents; (F) notice of any Event of Default; and (G) all other notices
(except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty or under the other Loan
Documents) and demands to which each Subsidiary Guarantor might otherwise be entitled;

right, if any, to require the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies
which the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties now have or may hereafter have against, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any third party, or against any collateral provided by such other guarantors or any third party; and each Subsidiary Guarantor
further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations
shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid) of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or by reason
of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations in respect thereof;
(iv) (A) any
rights to assert against the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or
claim which such Subsidiary Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any third party liable to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties; (B) any defense, set-off, counterclaim or claim,
of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity or enforceability
of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; (C) any defense such Subsidiary Guarantor has to performance hereunder,
and any right such Subsidiary Guarantor has to be exonerated, arising by reason of: (1) the impairment or suspension of the Administrative
Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ rights or remedies against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; (2) the
alteration by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties of the Guaranteed Obligations; (3) any discharge of the obligations
of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties by operation of law as a result
of the Administrative Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ intervention or omission; or (4) the acceptance by the Administrative
Agent and the Secured Parties of anything in partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (D) the benefit of any statute
of limitations affecting such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer
or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay
the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder; and
(v) any
defense arising by reason of or deriving from (A) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative
Agent and the other Secured Parties; or (B) any election by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties under any provision
of any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against the
Subsidiary Guarantors.
(b) General
Waivers. Each Subsidiary Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein.
115
13.05 Reinstatement.
The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 13 shall be automatically
reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations
is at any time rescinded, annulled, avoided, set aside, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or must be otherwise restored or repaid
by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization, equitable
cause or otherwise, and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Secured Parties on demand
for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by such Persons in connection with such rescission, repayment
or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted
a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. The provisions
of this Section 13.05 shall survive termination of this Guaranty.
13.06 Subrogation.
The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that, until the prior and complete satisfaction of all Termination Conditions,
they (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) waive any right to enforce
any remedy which the Secured Parties or the Administrative Agent now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any endorser or
any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, and each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any benefit
of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral that may from time to time be given to the Secured Parties and the Administrative
Agent to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of the Borrower to
the Secured Parties. Should any Subsidiary Guarantor have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to exercise its subrogation rights
prior to complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably (A) subordinates
any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set-off that such
Subsidiary Guarantor may have prior to the complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions, and (B) waives any and all defenses
available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until all Termination Conditions are satisfied in full. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and
shall not limit or otherwise affect such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty, and
that the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries
of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 13.06.
13.07 Remedies.
The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on one hand, and the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents may
be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due
and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 11) for purposes of Section 13.01 notwithstanding any stay,
injunction or other prohibition, including any such stay upon an Insolvency Proceeding, preventing such declaration (or such obligations
from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations
being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith
become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of Section 13.01.
116
13.08 Instrument
for the Payment of Money. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 13 constitutes
an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, at their sole option,
in the event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by
motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to N.Y. Civ. Prac. L&R § 3213.
13.09 Continuing
Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 13 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations
whenever arising.
13.10 Contribution
with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations.
(a) To
the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall make a payment under this Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which,
taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Subsidiary Guarantor, exceeds the
amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Subsidiary Guarantor if each Subsidiary Guarantor had paid the
aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Subsidiary Guarantor’s “Allocable
Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts
of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following
the prior and complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution
and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Subsidiary Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata
based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.
(b) As
of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum
amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement without rendering such claim voidable
or avoidable under any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or other applicable Law.
(c) This
Section 13.10 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Subsidiary Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this
Section 13.10 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay
any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d) The
parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor
or Subsidiary Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.
(e) The
rights of the indemnifying Subsidiary Guarantors against other Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 13.10 shall be exercisable
only upon the prior and complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions.
13.11 General
Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any provincial, territorial or state corporate law, or
any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations
of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 13.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable,
or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 13.01,
then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such
Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount
that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
117
Section 14.
MISCELLANEOUS
14.01 No
Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of
dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
14.02 Notices.
(a) All
notices, requests, instructions, directions and other communications provided for herein (including any modifications of, or waivers,
requests or consents under, this Agreement) or in the other Loan Documents shall be given or made in writing (including by telecopy or
email) delivered, if to the Borrower, another Obligor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, to its address specified on the signature
pages hereto or its Guarantee Assumption Agreement, as the case may be, or at such other address as shall be designated by such
party in a written notice to the other parties. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or therein, all such communications shall
be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt of a legible copy thereof, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid. All such communications
provided for herein by telecopy shall be confirmed in writing promptly after the delivery of such communication (it being understood
that non-receipt of written confirmation of such communication shall not invalidate such communication).
(b) Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 14.02 to the contrary, any notice, request, instruction, direction or other communication provided
for herein and addressed to a QIA Lender (a “QIA Lender Notice”) shall be effective only if such QIA Lender Notice
is (a) delivered either personally by hand or by an international courier service providing delivery service in Qatar to the address
of such QIA Lender set forth in this Agreement under the signature pages hereto and, in each case (b) confirmed by email to
such QIA Lender’s email addresses listed under the signature pages hereto; provided that (i) all such email addresses
listed under the signature pages hereto for copy are copied and (ii) a “failed delivery” message is not received
by the sender from such QIA Lender’s primary email addresses listed under the signature pages hereto. Delivery shall be deemed
effective only if completed by 1:30 p.m. on a day in which banks are open for business in Qatar (a “Qatari Business Day”)
or on the following Qatari Business Day if completed later.
118
14.03 Expenses, Indemnification,
Etc.
(a) Expenses.
Each Obligor, jointly and severally, agrees to pay or reimburse (i) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective
Affiliates for all of their reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses (including the fees, expenses, charges and disbursements
of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, counsel to the Lenders, the fees (if necessary) of local and regulatory counsel for both of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in each relevant material jurisdiction, and any sales, goods and services or other similar Taxes
applicable thereto, and reasonable and documented printing, reproduction, document delivery, communication and travel costs) in connection
with (x) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of the
Loans (exclusive of post-closing costs), (y) post-closing costs (including costs of the administration of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents) and (z) the negotiation or preparation of any modification, supplement or waiver of any of the terms of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (whether or not consummated); provided, that the amount of such costs and expenses
obligated to be paid by the Obligors for activities prior to the Closing Date, shall not exceed $700,000 (or such greater amount as may
be reasonably agreed to by the Borrower), plus the actual cost of any collateral filing and recordation fees and searches and (ii) each
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all of their documented out of pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses
of any legal counsel) in connection with the enforcement, exercise or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, including their rights under this Section 14.03, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder,
including such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.
(b) Indemnification.
Each Obligor, jointly and severally, hereby indemnifies the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Lenders and their respective
Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, advisors and controlling parties (each, an “Indemnified Party”)
from and against, and agrees to hold them harmless against, any and all Claims and Losses of any kind including reasonable and documented
out of pocket fees and disbursements of any counsel for each Indemnified Party (limited to, at most, two legal counsels in each relevant
jurisdiction, one for each of (A) the Oaktree Lenders and (B) the QIA Lenders), that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded
against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or relating to (i) Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents or the Transactions, (ii) any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any actual
or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries,
or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based
on contract, tort, or any other theory, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Obligor, any of
its Subsidiaries, shareholders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other Person, or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto,
and whether or not any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 are satisfied or the other transactions contemplated
by this Agreement are consummated, except to the extent such Claim or Loss is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Obligor shall
assert any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages
arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of the Transactions or the actual or
proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. The Borrower, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees,
attorneys, agents, advisors and controlling parties are each sometimes referred to in this Agreement as a “Borrower Party”.
No Lender shall assert any claim against any Borrower Party, on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive
damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of the Transactions or the actual
or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. This Section shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes relating to a non-Tax Claim
or Loss governed by this Section 14.03(b).
119
14.04 Amendments,
Etc. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement and any other Loan Document (except
for the Company Warrants or the 701 Warrants, which may be amended, waived or supplemented in accordance with the terms thereof) may
be modified or supplemented only by agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders, which may be evidenced
by an instrument in writing signed by such Persons or by email confirmation from such Persons; provided that:
(a) any
such modification or supplement that is disproportionately adverse to any Lender as compared to other Lenders or subjects any Lender
to any additional obligation shall not be effective without the consent of such affected Lender;
(b) the
consent of all of the Lenders shall be required to:
(i) amend,
modify, discharge, terminate or waive any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Agreement (including by modifying any defined
term used therein or any provision referenced therein) if such amendment, modification, discharge, termination or waiver would increase
the amount of the Loans or Commitment, reduce the fees payable hereunder, reduce interest rates or other amounts payable with respect
to the Loans, extend any date fixed for payment of principal (it being understood that the waiver of any prepayment of Loans shall not
constitute an extension of any date fixed for payment of principal), interest or other amounts payable relating to the Loans, extend
the repayment dates of the Loans, modify the Commitments, modify the definition of “Proportionate Share” or extend the Commitment
Termination Date;
(ii) amend,
modify, discharge, terminate or waive any Security Document or Guarantee if the effect is to release all or substantially all of the
Collateral, or to release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantee, subject thereto other than pursuant to the terms hereof
or thereof; or
(iii) amend
this Section 14.04 or the definition of “Majority Lenders”.
14.05 Successors
and Assigns.
(a) General.
The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto or
thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby or thereby, except that no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder (except in connection with an event permitted under Section 9.03) without the
prior written consent of each Lender. Any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.05(b), (ii) by
way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.05(e), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment
of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 14.05(f). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants to the extent provided in Section 14.05(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement.
120
(b) Assignments
by Lender. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Transferees (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to any Person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans
at the time owing to it) and the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) no such assignment shall be made to any Obligor,
any Affiliate of any Obligor, any employees or directors of any Obligor at any time and (ii) no such assignment shall be made without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The consent of the Borrower
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to an Eligible Transferee; provided
that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative
Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received written notice thereof; provided further that the consent of the
Borrower shall not be required for any assignment to (x) Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. or any of its managed funds or accounts
or (y) any Affiliate of the foregoing. Subject to the recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.05(d),
and to receipt by the Administrative Agent of a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500 (provided that the Administrative
Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment) from and after the
date such Assignment and Assumption is recorded in the Register, 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 the Lender under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and correspondingly the assigning Lender 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 Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) and the other Loan Documents
but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5 and Section 14.03. Any assignment or transfer
by the Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 14.05(b) 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 14.05(e).
(c) Amendments
to Loan Documents. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Obligors agrees to enter into such amendments to the Loan
Documents, and such additional Security Documents and other instruments and agreements, in each case in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Obligors, as shall reasonably be necessary to implement and give effect to
any assignment made under this Section 14.05.
121
(d) Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices
in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses
of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant
to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower
and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
any assignment of any Loan shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register.
(e) Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to any Eligible Transferee (other
than a natural person or any Obligor or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the 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
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection therewith. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which any
Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve
any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; 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 that would (i) increase
or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on
the Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal,
or (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive
such interest. Subject to Section 14.05(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 5.01 or 5.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.03(f) (it
being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.03(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender))
to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 14.05(b); provided
that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.04 as if it were an assignee under Section 14.05(b) and
(ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or 5.03, with respect to any participation,
than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment
results from a change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or the sale of the participation
to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.03(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall,
acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address
of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations
under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation
to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to
a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the
extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender
shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this
Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative
Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
122
(f) [Reserved].
(g) Certain
Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents
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.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or arrangement (and
regardless of whether the Obligors have complied with Section 4(d)(i) of the Tenth Amendment within the time period specified
therein), the Obligors hereby agree that each Lender shall be permitted, at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion, to
negotiate, solicit, market, enter into, and consummate one or more Transfers (as defined in the Tenth Amendment) of all or any portion
of its Subject Interests (as defined in the Tenth Amendment) to any party, in each case without any notice to, or any consent, approval,
acknowledgment or other action of or by, the Obligors, and the Obligors hereby irrevocably waive any and all such notice, consent, approval,
acknowledgment and similar rights and requirements.
14.06 Survival.
The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 14.03, 14.05, 14.06, 14.09,
14.10, 14.11, 14.12, 14.13 and 14.14 and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 13
(solely to the extent guaranteeing any of the obligations under the foregoing Sections) shall survive the repayment of the Obligations
and the termination of the Commitments and, in the case of the Lenders’ assignment of any interest in the Commitments or the Loans
hereunder, shall survive, in the case of any event or circumstance that occurred prior to the effective date of such assignment, the
making of such assignment, notwithstanding that the Lenders may cease to be “Lenders” hereunder. In addition, each representation
and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a Borrowing Notice, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation
and warranty.
14.07 Captions.
The table of contents and captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not
intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.
14.08 Counterparts,
Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and
the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed
signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in PDF format) shall be effective as delivery
of a manually executed counterpart hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when counterparts hereof executed on behalf of the Obligors,
the Administrative Agent and the Lender shall have been received by the Administrative Agent.

the law of the State of New York.
14.10 Jurisdiction,

(b) [Reserved].
(c) Waiver
of Venue, Etc. Each party hereto irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any objection that it may now or hereafter
have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
and hereby further irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought
in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. A final judgment (in respect of which time for all appeals has elapsed)
in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which such party is
or may be subject, by suit upon judgment.
14.11 Waiver
of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS

obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
124
14.13 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject
matter hereof, including any confidentiality (or similar) agreements. EACH OBLIGOR ACKNOWLEDGES, REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IN DECIDING
TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN TAKING OR NOT TAKING ANY ACTION HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, IT HAS
NOT RELIED, AND WILL NOT RELY, ON ANY STATEMENT, REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT, AGREEMENT OR UNDERSTANDING, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL,
OF OR WITH ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
14.14 Severability.
If any provision hereof is found by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by any Law the parties agree
that such invalidity or unenforceability shall not impair the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
14.15 No
Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no fiduciary relationship with,
or fiduciary duty to, the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the relationship
between the Lenders and the Borrower is solely that of creditor and debtor. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not create
a joint venture among the parties.
14.16 Confidentiality.
(a) The
Administrative Agent and each Lender agree to keep confidential all non-public information provided to them by any Obligor pursuant to
this Agreement that is designated by such Obligor as confidential in accordance with its customary procedures for handling its own confidential
information; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information
(i) to the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender, (ii) subject to an agreement to comply with
the provisions of this Section, to any Eligible Transferee or assignee permitted under Section 14.05(b), and any actual or
prospective direct or indirect counterparty to any Hedging Agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (iii) to
its employees, officers, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants, trustees and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates
(collectively, its “Related Parties”), in each case on a need-to-know basis, (iv) upon the requirement
or demand of any Governmental Authority or 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), (v) in response to any order
of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Law, (vi) if required to do so in connection
with any litigation or similar proceeding, (vii) that has been publicly disclosed (other than as a result of a disclosure in violation
of this Section 14.16), (viii) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or
any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection
with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (ix) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder
or under any other Loan Document, (x) on a confidential basis to (A) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower
or its Subsidiaries or the Loans or (B) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring
of CUSIP numbers of other market identifiers with respect to the Loans or (xi) to any other party hereto; provided that,
in the case of disclosure pursuant to clause (iv), (v) and (vi) above, the Administrative Agent or applicable
Lender, as applicable, shall promptly provide notice to the Borrower to the extent reasonable and not prohibited by Law or any applicable
Governmental Authority.
125
(b) Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement otherwise requiring any QIA Lender to provide any information or documents to any Loan Party or any third
party, such QIA Lender shall be entitled to withhold, edit, redact and/or otherwise limit disclosure of any such information or documents
on the grounds of national security and/or financial or economic sensitivity and such QIA Lender shall have no liability whatsoever and
shall be free and harmless from any claims whatsoever for exercising its rights pursuant to this Section 14.16(b).
14.17 Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together
with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Law (collectively, “charges”),
shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received
or reserved by the Administrative Agent and the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable
in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the
extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been paid in respect of such Loan but were not paid as a result of the operation
of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall
be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Any amount
collected by such Lender that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal
balance of such Loan so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid or payable in respect of such Loan exceed the maximum amount
collectible at the Maximum Rate.
14.18 Judgment
Currency.
(a) If,
for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency,
the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance
with normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at the buying spot rate of exchange
in the New York foreign exchange market on the Business Day immediately preceding that on which any such judgment, or any relevant part
thereof, is given.
(b) The
obligations of the Obligors in respect of any sum due to the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall,
