Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On
October 9, 2026, STAR Investment Holdings SPV LLC (“STAR SPV”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Star Holdings (the
"Company"), as borrower, entered into Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) to its margin loan agreement with Morgan
Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. as administrative agent, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as calculation agent, and Morgan Stanley Bank N.A.,
as initial lender. Amendment No. 5, among other things: (i) reduces the "Share Price Trigger Threshold" that would trigger a
mandatory prepayment of the margin loan from $10.00 to $8.00 with respect to the underlying collateral shares of Safehold common stock;
(ii) terminates the delayed draw commitment of up to $15.8 million, which was undrawn at the date of the amendment; and (iii) lowers
the loan-to-value ratios that would require STAR SPV to post additional collateral with the lender or permit STAR SPV to request a release
of collateral under the agreement.
Before giving effect to Amendment No. 5, the Margin
Loan Facility had an outstanding principal balance of approximately $46.5 million. The Margin Loan Facility is secured by a first priority
pledge of the shares of Safehold common stock beneficially owned by Star Holdings.
The description of Amendment No. 5 does not purport
to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is included or incorporated by reference
as an exhibit to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such
provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable

capitalized terms used but not defined in these introductory paragraphs have the respective meanings given to them in Section 1.01),
and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as Calculation Agent.
Borrower has requested that
Lenders make an Advance to it on the Funding Date, in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the Initial Commitment, and each Lender

Lender" means any Lender that has terminated its Commitment and accelerated the Advance owing to it pursuant to Section 7.02;
provided that, if an Event of Default of the type specified in Section 7.01(f) has occurred and the Advances of all Lenders
have automatically become due, each Lender shall be considered an "Accelerating Lender" hereunder.
"Acceptable
Collateral" means any of the following assets of Borrower, if (x) held in or credited to any Collateral Account
subject to a first priority Lien under the applicable Security Agreement and (y) the Collateral Requirement has been satisfied with
respect thereto:
(a) Cash

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCE
Section 2.01. The
Advance.
(a) Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender made a loan in Dollars to Borrower on the Funding Date in the amount of such
Lender's Initial Commitment by making immediately available funds available to Administrative Agent (or an account designated by Administrative
Agent) (such loan, collectively with such loans of all other Lenders, the "Initial Advance"). After Administrative
Agent's receipt of such funds on the Funding Date, and upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Article 4, Administrative
Agent made such funds as it had received available to Borrower by depositing such funds into the Funding Account. Following the making
of the Initial Advance to Borrower on the Funding Date, the unused portion of the Initial Commitment was permanently terminated.
(b) The
Advance or any portion thereof, once prepaid or repaid, may not be reborrowed.
(c) Subject
to Section 2.14, all Advances shall be SOFR Advances.
(d) No
later than 5:00 p.m. on the date at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which the Advance will be required to
be made hereunder (or such shorter period as Administrative Agent may agree), Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of its request
for the Advance on the Funding Date by providing a Borrowing Notice. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount
of its portion of the Advance in accordance with such Lender's Applicable Percentage.
Section 2.02. Repayment
of Advance. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Administrative Agent (or to an account designated by Administrative
Agent) the Total Accrued Loan Amount on the Scheduled Maturity Date or any earlier date on which the Total Accrued Loan Amount becomes
due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof (including pursuant to Section 7.01). Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of the amount of such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such repayment. After Administrative Agent's receipt of the entire amount
of the repayment, Administrative Agent shall transfer the repayment to each Lender, in accordance with such Lender's Applicable Percentage.
28
Section 2.03. Interest.
(a) Ordinary
Interest. The principal amount of the Advance shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate, and
such interest shall be payable, subject to Section 5.11, in cash on each Interest Payment Date; provided that if Borrower
elects (such election, a "PIK Election"), by written notice to Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business
Days prior to any Interest Payment Date, with respect to all or any portion of such interest that would otherwise be payable on such
Interest Payment Date, subject to Section 5.11, to pay such interest in kind, such interest shall be paid in kind, in which case
(i) the amount of such interest (or the portion thereof) that will be paid in kind will be added, as of such Interest Payment Date,
to the outstanding principal amount of the Advance, and (ii) the remainder of such interest (if any) shall continue to be payable
in cash on such Interest Payment Date. The total amount of interest due on each Interest Payment Date shall be computed by Calculation
Agent on the immediately preceding Business Day, calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed and a year of 360 days.
(b) Default
Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amount is not paid when due hereunder, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to two percent (2%) above the Applicable
Rate from the date such amount was due to but excluding the date that such amount shall be paid in full, payable on demand (and in any
event in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full).
Section 2.04. Fees.
(a) Borrower shall pay the fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in the Fee Letters.
(b) Upon
the occurrence of any Make-Whole Event, Borrower shall, at the time of the related prepayment or repayment of the Advance, pay to Administrative
Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender in accordance with such Lender's Applicable Percentage, the related Make-Whole Amount.
Section 2.05. Interest
Rate Determinations. Administrative Agent shall give notice to Borrower and each Lender of the applicable interest rates for
the purposes of Section 2.03 and any calculation related thereto.
Section 2.06. Prepayments
of Advance; Collateral Shortfall; Withdrawal of Collateral.
(a) Borrower
may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advance (including with Cash held as Collateral), in whole or in part, together with
accrued and unpaid (or uncapitalized) interest thereon, the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any, payable under Section 2.04(b) and
any amount due under Section 2.07(f) (and, in the case of a prepayment of the Advance in full, all other Obligations that are
then due and payable or will become due and payable on account of such prepayment), at any time and from time to time upon notice thereof
given to Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable), who shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof, by Borrower not
later than 12:00 p.m. on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any such prepayment; provided, however,
that (i) each prepayment shall be made on a Pro Rata Basis and (ii) each partial prepayment of the Advance shall be in an aggregate
principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the remaining Advance if the outstanding principal
amount of the Advance is less than $5,000,000). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.06(a) to the contrary, the notice
requirements and prepayment minimum amount requirements shall be waived with respect to any prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(ii),
Section 2.06(d)(i)(B) or Section 5.11. Each notice of prepayment delivered by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall
be irrevocable, except that it may be conditioned upon a transaction (including a refinancing) to be closed or consummated in connection
with such prepayment and may be revoked by Borrower prior to the effective date thereof.
29
(b) Following
the occurrence of any Mandatory Prepayment Event, Administrative Agent may, or upon request of any Lender shall, provide written notice
to Borrower that it is requiring a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) in connection therewith (such notice, a "Mandatory
Prepayment Event Notice"). On the second (2nd) Business Day immediately following delivery of such Mandatory
Prepayment Event Notice, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.11 the Total Accrued Loan Amount.
(c) (i) If
a Collateral Shortfall occurs on any date (including any date after a Collateral Call Notice has been given, but prior to the Cure Time),
Administrative Agent may, or at the request of any Lender, shall (or, if Administrative Agent fails to do so promptly when so requested,
any Lender may), deliver a notice in the form set forth in Exhibit D hereto to Borrower and all other Lenders of the occurrence
of such Collateral Shortfall (such notice, a "Collateral Call Notice") not later than 8:00 p.m. on such
date; provided that any failure to so deliver a copy of a Collateral Call Notice to any Lender shall not invalidate the effectiveness
of such Collateral Shortfall Notice. Upon Borrower's receipt of any Collateral Call Notice in accordance with Section 9.02, Borrower
shall, prior to the applicable Cure Time, take any combination of the following actions in an aggregate amount sufficient to cause the
LTV Ratio (determined based on the Reference Price as in effect on the date that the Collateral Shortfall occurred) to be less than or
equal to the LTV Reset Level:
(A) post,
or cause the posting of, Cash or Cash Equivalents that constitute Acceptable Collateral to the Collateral Accounts and/or provide Eligible
Letters of Credit to the Applicable Lenders, in each case, on a Pro Rata Basis;
(B) prepay
all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Advance on a Pro Rata Basis; and/or
(C) provide
Calculation Agent with one or more trade tickets (which may be in the form of screenshots delivered via electronic mail) evidencing the
execution of one or more Permitted Sale Transactions.
Borrower and each Applicable
Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Custodian provides online informational access (or, if such online access
is not available, to timely deliver account statements and advices of transactions) for all Collateral Accounts to Administrative Agent.
30
(ii) Not
later than 1:00 p.m. on the Scheduled Trading Day following the first Scheduled Trading Day on which Borrower has received (in accordance
with Section 9.02) the relevant Collateral Call Notice by the Notice Deadline, Borrower shall deliver a notice in the form of Exhibit K
to Administrative Agent (which notice may be given by email) (x) acknowledging Borrower's receipt of such Collateral Call Notice,
(y) confirming that Borrower will cure the relevant Collateral Shortfall prior to the relevant Cure Time and (z) stating the
manner in which Borrower intends to cure such Collateral Shortfall (including whether it will take the actions set forth in Section 2.06(c)(i) above
and whether such Collateral Shortfall will be cured by cash from an Affiliate of Borrower borrowing under the Issuer Revolver).
(d) Borrower
shall only be permitted to request the release of Collateral if (x) Borrower delivers written notice of such release to Administrative
Agent (who shall give to each Applicable Lender prompt notice thereof) at or before 12:00 p.m. on the second (2nd) Business Day
prior to the requested date of the release and specifying which Collateral is to be released, and Administrative Agent is reasonably
satisfied that the additional conditions set forth in one of clauses (i) through (ii) below are met (in which case Administrative
Agent shall promptly so notify each Applicable Lender):
(i) Borrower
may request the release, on a Pro Rata Basis, of any of the Collateral Shares from the Collateral Accounts as long as:
(A) the
Collateral Shares are being released on a Pro Rata Basis from the Collateral Accounts solely for the purposes of settling sales of such
Collateral Shares for Cash at fair market value (taking into account any commercially reasonable block discount and underwriting or similar
fees and related transaction expenses) on an arm's-length basis where the scheduled settlement date for each such sale (excluding registered
offerings that settle on a settlement cycle that is customary for registered offerings) is no later than one then-standard settlement
cycle on the Exchange following execution of such sale (unless each Lender consents, in its sole discretion, to a later settlement date)
(it being understood that a "T+2" settlement cycle shall be deemed to be standard for purposes hereof) (any such sale, a "Permitted
Sale Transaction" and any proceeds from such sale, "Permitted Sale Proceeds");
(B) Permitted
Sale Proceeds will be paid, on a delivery versus payment basis against the delivery of the relevant Collateral Shares from the relevant
Collateral Accounts or pursuant to escrow arrangements reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.11
and solely with respect to a request made in connection with a Collateral Call Notice, (1) used to prepay Borrower's Obligations
on a Pro Rata Basis or be deposited to the relevant Collateral Accounts on a Pro Rata Basis, in each case, in an amount sufficient to
cause the LTV Ratio (determined based on the lower of the Reference Price as in effect at the time of execution of such Permitted Sale
Transaction and the lowest price per Share paid in such Permitted Sale Transaction) immediately following such release to be less than
or equal to the LTV Reset Level and (2) if any payment is required pursuant to sub-clause (1) above, make any payment that
is or will be required under Section 5.11 in connection
with such sale in accordance therewith (such aggregate amount pursuant to clauses (1) and (2), the "Required Sale
Proceeds Amount");
31
(C) other
than a request made in connection with a Collateral Call Notice, on the date of such request, the LTV Ratio shall have been lower than
the LTV Release Level for the previous five (5) consecutive Exchange Business Days, and the LTV Ratio before, and immediately after,
giving effect to such release shall not exceed the LTV Release Level; provided that, if the LTV Ratio exceeds the LTV Release Level as
of the date of such request, the amount of the Required Sale Proceeds Amount shall be deemed sufficient to establish an LTV Ratio that
is equal to or less than the LTV Release Level pursuant to this clause (C); and
(D) (x) no
Mandatory Prepayment Event shall have occurred (unless such Mandatory Prepayment Event has been cured or waived), no Adjustment Determination
Period shall have occurred and be continuing and no Default, Event of Default or Collateral Shortfall (with respect to a request made
other than in connection with a Collateral Call Notice) shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) none of the foregoing would
result from such release.
To facilitate a sale of Collateral
Shares pursuant to this Section 2.06(d)(i), each Applicable Lender shall release its Lien over the Collateral Shares being sold
immediately upon its receipt of the related Required Sale Proceeds Amount, and shall, if required, enter into any escrow or other arrangement
reasonably satisfactory to such Applicable Lender with the broker or dealer through whom such Shares are being sold. Each Applicable
Lender shall cooperate with Borrower in effecting any rebalancing pursuant to Section 2.15.
(ii) Borrower
may request a release of Cash or Cash Equivalents (including, without limitation, the proceeds of any Eligible Letter of Credit (to the
extent drawn)) that constitute Collateral on a Pro Rata Basis, as long as:
(A) on
the date of such request, the LTV Ratio shall have been lower than the LTV Release Level for the previous five (5) consecutive Exchange
Business Days;
(B) the
LTV Ratio before, and immediately after, giving effect to such release shall not exceed the LTV Release Level; and
(C) (x) no
Mandatory Prepayment Event shall have occurred (unless such Mandatory Prepayment Event has been cured or waived), no Adjustment Determination
Period shall have occurred and be continuing and no Default, Event of Default or Collateral Shortfall shall have occurred and be continuing
and (y) none of the foregoing would result from such release.
(e) Posting
Additional Collateral.
(i) On
at least two (2) Business Days' notice, Borrower may post Cash or Cash Equivalents constituting Acceptable Collateral to the Collateral
Accounts, or provide Eligible Letters of Credit to the Applicable Lenders, at any time; provided that each type of Collateral
shall be posted to the Collateral Accounts, and any Eligible Letters of Credit shall be issued for the benefit of the Applicable Lenders,
on a Pro Rata Basis.
32
(ii) If
any Eligible Letter of Credit that is issued for the benefit of an Applicable Lender is (x) not renewed, extended or replaced with
another Eligible Letter of Credit with an equivalent face amount on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days prior to its stated
expiry date or (y) the issuer thereof no longer constitutes an Acceptable Letter of Credit Issuer, the Applicable Lender to which
such Eligible Letter of Credit is provided is and shall be authorized to draw the full stated amount of such Eligible Letter of Credit
and deposit the proceeds thereof into the applicable Collateral Account as Collateral.
(iii) Borrower
shall cause Issuer to deposit into or credit directly to the Collateral Accounts on a Pro Rata Basis or, in the case of any property
or assets other than Cash, Cash Equivalents, securities and securities entitlements, deliver to the relevant Applicable Lenders (subject
to their reasonable delivery instructions) on a Pro Rata Basis, any Ordinary Cash Dividend or Extraordinary Distribution paid or distributed
on any Collateral Shares, or any securities or securities entitlements (x) exchanged for, or delivered upon conversion of, any Collateral
Shares in a Merger Event or (y) delivered in respect of any Collateral Shares in connection with a Spin-off. If any such Cash, Cash
Equivalents, securities, securities entitlements or other property or assets are received by Borrower or any Affiliate thereof for any
reason, Borrower shall, or shall cause such Affiliate to, make such deposit or delivery as promptly as practicable and in any event no
later than two (2) Business Days following such receipt (and pending such delivery, shall hold such property in trust for the Applicable
Lenders), subject, in each case, to any subsequent release thereof in accordance with Section 2.06(d). Borrower shall not tender
any Collateral Shares in any exchange offer (including, without limitation, a Split-off) without the consent of each Lender, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Section 2.07. Increased
Costs; Break Funding. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge
or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;
(ii) impose
on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Advance made by such Lender or
participation therein; or
(iii) subject
any Lender or Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through
(d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other
obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
33
and the result of any of the foregoing shall
be to increase the cost to any Lender or Administrative Agent of making or maintaining the Advance hereunder (or of maintaining its Commitment)
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender or Administrative Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest
or otherwise), then Borrower will pay to such Lender or Administrative Agent such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender or Administrative Agent for such reasonable additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If
a Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or
the Advance made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company could have achieved but for
such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies and the policies of such Lender's holding company with respect to
capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, upon written request from such Lender, Borrower will pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender's holding company for any such reduction.
(c) A
certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts (and the calculation thereof) necessary to compensate
such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.07 shall
be delivered to Administrative Agent, who shall deliver or cause to be delivered such certificate to Borrower. Such certificate shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days
after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's
right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.07
for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided,
further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred
to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.07 or Borrower must pay increased amounts or any amounts
for Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 2.08, then the applicable Lender will, if requested by Borrower, use commercially reasonable
efforts to designate another lending office for the Advance, or portion thereof, affected by the relevant event if, in the judgment of
such Lender, such designation would (i) avoid the requirement for or reduce the amount of such compensation, increased amounts or
amounts for Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to such Lender; provided that such efforts need only be made on terms that, in the commercially reasonable
judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage;
provided further that nothing in this Section 2.07(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of Borrower or
the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(a) through (d) or Section 2.08. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation.
34
(f) Borrower
shall compensate each Lender, upon written request from such Lender (in the form of a certificate, which shall set forth in reasonable
detail the basis for requesting such amounts and shall be conclusive absent manifest error), for all reasonable loss, cost or expense
(excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) deemed to be incurred by it (determined pursuant to the following paragraph) as a result
of:
(i) any
payment or prepayment of the Advance on a day other than an Interest Payment Date (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason
of acceleration, or otherwise); or
(ii) any
failure by Borrower to prepay or borrow the Advance on the date or in the amount notified by Borrower (for a reason other than the failure
of such Lender to make its portion of the Advance in breach of its obligation hereunder).
Such loss, cost or expense for any Lender shall
be deemed to be an amount determined by such Lender equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have
accrued on the principal amount of the Advance had such event not occurred, at the reference interest rate that would have been applicable
to the Advance, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then-current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case
of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for the Advance), over (ii) the
amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were
it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar
market.
(g) All
of Borrower's obligations under this Section 2.07 shall survive termination of the Facility and repayment of all other Obligations
hereunder.
Section 2.08. Taxes.
(a) Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Margin Loan Documentation shall be made
without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good
faith discretion of Administrative Agent or Borrower, as the case may be) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such
payment by Administrative Agent or Borrower, then Administrative Agent or Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding
and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and,
if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding
has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.08) each Lender
or each Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Payment
of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or
at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
35
(c) Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.08,
Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing
such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative
Agent.
(d) Indemnification
by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and Agent, 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 2.08)
payable or paid by such Lender or Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from any payment to such Lender or Agent 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 Borrower by a Lender
(with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(e) Status
of Lenders.
(i) If
any Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Taxes with respect to payments made under any Margin Loan Documentation,
it shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent,
such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Administrative
Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent
as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission
of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.08(e)(ii)(A), (B) and (D) below) shall not
be required if in a Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed
cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) if
any Lender is a U.S. Person, it shall deliver to Borrower and 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent) executed
copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;
36
(B) if
any Lender is a Foreign Lender, it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent
(in such number of copies as shall be requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or 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 Margin Loan Documentation, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or an
applicable successor form) 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 Margin Loan Documentation, IRS Form W-8BEN
or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or an applicable successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding
Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;
(2) executed
copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-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 Borrower within the meaning
of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of
the Code and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or an applicable successor form); or
(4) to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS
Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or an applicable successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9 and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner,
as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign
Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially
in the form of Exhibit I-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 Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipients) 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form
prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together
with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine
the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
37
(D) if
a payment made to a Lender under any Margin Loan Documentation 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 Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed
by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower or Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA
and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold
from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), "FATCA" shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date
of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if
any form or certification it previously delivered has expired or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such
form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
Administrative Agent shall
deliver to Borrower, on or before the date on which it becomes Administrative Agent hereunder, either (i) a duly executed original
IRS Form W-9 (or any applicable successor form) certifying that Administrative Agent is not subject to backup withholding, or (ii) a
duly executed original IRS Form W-8IMY (or any applicable successor form) establishing that Administrative Agent will act as a withholding
agent for any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed with respect to any payment made to Lenders under any Margin Loan Documentation. Administrative
Agent shall promptly notify Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide the certification described
in the preceding sentence.
(f) Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If any Lender or any Agent 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 2.08 (including by the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.08), it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made under this Section 2.08 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including
Taxes) of such Lender or such Agent and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect
to such refund). Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or such Agent, shall repay to such Lender or such Agent the amount paid over
pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in
the event that such Lender or such Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will any Lender or any Agent be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph (f) the payment of which would place such Lender or such Agent in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Lender
or such Agent would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld
or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph
shall not be construed to require any Lender or any Agent to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its
Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
38
(g) Indemnification
by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any
Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent
for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's
failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any
Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Margin
Loan Documentation, 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 Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to
set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Margin Loan Documentation or otherwise payable by Administrative
Agent to Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (g).
(h) Borrower
shall deliver to each Agent, on or before the Funding Date (and thereafter promptly from time to time upon the reasonable request of
an Agent), (i) a duly executed original IRS Form W-9 with respect to Borrower's sole owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes
that is a U.S. Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) a duly executed certification in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.1445-2(b)(2) to the effect that Borrower is a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) and
its sole owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not a "foreign person." Borrower shall promptly notify each Agent at
any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide the IRS Form or certification described in the preceding sentence.
(i) Borrower
shall deliver to Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, such properly completed and
executed documentation as is reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in order to permit any Lender to exercise its rights under
Section 7.02 and the Security Agreements in a manner that will avoid, to the extent possible, or minimize withholding Tax upon a
disposition of any Collateral.
Section 2.09. Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or any Governmental
Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender to perform its obligations to make or maintain the Advance, then, on notice
thereof by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) (i) if the Funding Date has not occurred, the obligation
of such Lender to make the Advance shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such determination no longer exist and (ii) if the Funding Date has occurred, the Advance shall be prepaid either
on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain the Advance to such day, or immediately,
if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain the Advance.
39
Section 2.10. Evidence
of Debt.
(a) Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender
resulting from the Advance, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(b) Administrative
Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of the Advance made hereunder, (ii) the amount of
any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable (or paid in kind) from Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and
(iii) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent hereunder from Borrower and each Lender's Applicable Percentage thereof.
(c) The
entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.10(b) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and
amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such
accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such obligations in accordance with
their terms.
(d) No
promissory note shall be required to evidence the Advance by any Lender to Borrower. Upon the request of a Lender, Borrower shall prepare,
execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note, payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form approved by such
Lender, which shall evidence the Advance to Borrower by such Lender in addition to such records. Thereafter, the Advance evidenced by
such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the
payee named therein and its registered assigns.
Section 2.11. Payments
and Computations.
(a) All
payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Borrower
shall make each payment hereunder not later than 2:00 p.m. on the day when due (subject to Section 2.06(c), with respect to
any payment made to cure a Collateral Shortfall) in Dollars to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds. Administrative Agent
shall promptly distribute to each Lender its share, determined on a Pro Rata Basis (or other applicable basis as provided herein), of
such payment, in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. may,
in Administrative Agent's discretion, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day (subject to Section 2.06(c), with respect
to any payment made to cure a Collateral Shortfall), and, if so deemed, any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(b) Whenever
any payment hereunder would be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or any fees, as the case may
be.
40
(c) All
payments (including prepayments and, subject to Section 2.13, any other amounts received hereunder in connection with the exercise
of any Applicable Lender's rights after an Event of Default) made by Borrower to Administrative Agent under any Margin Loan Documentation
shall be applied to amounts then due and payable in the following order, ratably in accordance with the percentage of any such amounts
owed to each Lender: (A) to any expenses and indemnities payable by Borrower to Lenders under any Margin Loan Documentation; (B) to
any accrued and unpaid (or uncapitalized) interest and fees due under this Agreement; (C) to principal payments on the outstanding
Advance; and (D) to the payment of all other Obligations under the Margin Loan Documentation.
Section 2.12. Administrative
Agent's Clawback.
(a) Funding
by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
Funding Date that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent its portion of the Advance, Administrative Agent may assume
that each Lender that has a Commitment has made its respective portion of the Advance available on such date in accordance with Section 2.01
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact
made its portion of the Advance available to Administrative Agent, then such Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made
available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by
such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the Applicable Rate. If
Borrower and a Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall
promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If a Lender pays its portion of the Advance
to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's portion of the Advance included in such borrowing. Any
payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against such Lender that shall have failed to make such
payment to Administrative Agent.
(b) Payments
by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to
the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment,
Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders
severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent,
at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation.
(c) Obligations
of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make their respective portions of the Advance and to make payments pursuant
to Section 9.04(e) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make its portion of the Advance or to make any payment
under Section 9.04(e) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to
do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its portion of the Advance or to
make its payment under Section 9.04(e).
41
Section 2.13. Accelerating
Lenders.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein (but subject to clause (b) below), if one or more Lenders become Accelerating Lenders:
(i) Each
Accelerating Lender, solely for purposes of determining the rights and obligations of such Lender vis-à-vis Borrower, shall be
deemed to be:
(A) Administrative
Agent and Calculation Agent hereunder; and
(B) the
sole Lender hereunder for all purposes and, for the avoidance of doubt, no other Lender's consent shall be necessary for any modification
of such rights and obligations; and
(ii) solely
for purposes of determining the rights and obligations of all Lenders that are not Accelerating Lenders among themselves and vis-à-vis
Borrower:
(A) each
Accelerating Lender shall be deemed to no longer be a Lender hereunder and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Accelerating Lender's consent
shall not be necessary for any modification of such rights and obligations; and
(B) if
Administrative Agent or Calculation Agent is an Accelerating Lender, a replacement therefor shall be selected from among the Lenders
that are not Accelerating Lenders as if such Agent had resigned.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, following one or more Lenders becoming Accelerating Lenders, Borrower shall not make any payments of its Obligations or
post any Collateral or provide any Eligible Letter of Credit except on a Pro Rata Basis (without regard to clause (a) above). The
application of proceeds received by an Applicable Lender in respect of an exercise of its remedies under the Margin Loan Documentation
shall not be considered a payment by Borrower for purposes of this Section 2.13(b).
Section 2.14. Benchmark
Replacement Setting. The provisions of Annex I shall be incorporated by reference herein as if set forth in this Section 2.14.
Section 2.15. Periodic
Rebalancing. (a) Subject to Section 2.13 and clause (c) below, if as of any Interest Payment Date, the Collateral
is not held on a Pro Rata Basis for any reason, then on, or as promptly as practicable following, such Interest Payment Date, the Applicable
Lenders shall cause any transfers of Collateral from the Collateral Accounts that they control to Collateral Accounts controlled by other
Applicable Lenders as may be necessary, as determined by Administrative Agent, to ensure that the Collateral is held on a Pro Rata Basis.
Each Applicable Lender agrees to cooperate in good faith with Administrative Agent to effect such rebalancing, including, for the avoidance
of doubt, by submitting written instructions to Custodian to effect such transfers. Borrower hereby consents to such transfers.
42
(b) Solely
for the purpose of determining whether Collateral is held on a Pro Rata Basis under clause (a) above, any Eligible Letter of Credit
issued for the benefit of an Applicable Lender shall be deemed to be an amount of cash Collateral equal to [REDACTED]% of the stated
amount thereof, subject to clause (c) below.
(c) Subject
to Section 2.13 and notwithstanding clause (a) above, if, on any date, any Applicable Lender gives written notice to Calculation
Agent, or Calculation Agent otherwise becomes aware, that the aggregate stated amount of Eligible Letters of Credit issued for the benefit
of any Applicable Lender differs from the product of (x) the aggregate Applicable Percentage of such Applicable Lender and any relevant
Agented Lenders with respect to which such Applicable Lender is acting as agent and (y) the aggregate stated amount of Eligible
Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of all Applicable Lenders, then on, or as promptly as practicable following, such date Borrower
shall replace Eligible Letters of Credit issued for the benefit of the Applicable Lenders with cash Collateral and vice versa (or modify
the terms of any applicable Eligible Letters of Credit) to the extent necessary to ensure that Eligible Letters of Credit and cash Collateral
are held on a Pro Rata Basis (it being understood that the minimum stated amount of an Eligible Letter of Credit as set forth in the
definition thereof shall not apply to the extent necessary to comply with this Section 2.15(c)). Each Lender hereby consents to,
and agrees to cooperate in good faith to effect, such substitutions.
(d) In
connection with any transfer of Collateral Shares to a Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 2.15 or otherwise, Borrower shall
comply with any request of the Applicable Lender that controls such Collateral Account to transfer such Collateral Shares to a separate
sub-account under the relevant Collateral Account controlled by such Applicable Lender.
Article 3
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants
to each Lender as of the date hereof that:
Section 3.01. Organization;
Powers. Borrower (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to enter into, and perform its obligations under, the Margin Loan Documentation,
and consummate the Transactions, and (iii) is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where
such qualification is required except where the failure to be so qualified would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.02. Authorization;
Enforceability. The Transactions are within the powers of and have been duly authorized by all necessary action by Borrower.
Each document included in the Margin Loan Documentation to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitutes
a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless
of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
43
Section 3.03. Governmental
Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (i) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or
any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and except
for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Margin Loan Documentation, (ii) will not violate any Law applicable
to Borrower, (iii) will not contravene the Organization Documents of Borrower, (iv) will not violate or result in a default
under any indenture, material agreement or other material instrument binding upon Borrower or any of its assets, or give rise to a right
thereunder to require any payment to be made by Borrower, (v) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset
of Borrower, except Permitted Liens and (vi) will not violate any trading or other corporate policy of Issuer applicable to Borrower,
including, but not limited to, Issuer's "blackout" policy.
Section 3.04. Financial
Condition. The Borrower Financial Statements delivered to the Lenders are true and correct in all material respects. Borrower
has no material assets other than the Collateral nor any Indebtedness or monetary obligations, other than the Obligations.
Section 3.05. Litigation
Matters. There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or,
to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened in writing against Borrower that (i) if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) involve this Agreement or the Transactions.
Section 3.06. Compliance
with Laws.
(a) Borrower
is in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws applicable to it and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees
applicable to it or to its properties.
(b) Borrower
is in compliance with its reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 16 of the Exchange Act, including in respect of the transactions
contemplated hereunder.
(c) The
Transactions, including the use of proceeds of the Advance and all actions with respect to the Collateral, comply and will comply with
the Margin Regulations.
Section 3.07. Investment
Company Status. Borrower is not, and after giving effect to the contemplated Transactions will not be, required to register as
an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act.
Section 3.08. Taxes.
Each of Borrower and Borrower's sole owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes has timely filed (taking into account applicable extensions)
all income Tax returns and other material Tax returns which are required to be filed by, or with respect to, Borrower in all jurisdictions
and has paid all material Taxes, assessments, claims, governmental charges or levies imposed on, or with respect to, Borrower or its
properties which are due and payable (other than (i) any amount the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith,
(ii) any amount with respect to which reserves have been provided for in accordance with GAAP and (iii) where no Collateral
would become subject to forfeiture or loss as a result of such contest). There is no proposed tax assessment asserted in writing against
Borrower or against Borrower's sole owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to Borrower or its properties. Borrower is
treated as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As of the Funding Date, Borrower is
not subject to tax in any jurisdiction other than the United States or any subdivision thereof.
44
Section 3.09. Disclosure.
Borrower has disclosed to each Agent and Lender (x) all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it
is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, and (y) all shareholders' agreements, all investor rights agreements and all voting or other contractual restrictions,
including all lock-up agreements, relating to the Collateral Shares (if any). All written information (other than general economic information,
industry specific information, and projections) provided by or on behalf of Borrower to the Agents and Lenders in connection with the
negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation or the Transactions is complete and correct
in all material respects and does not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made. As of the
date hereof, to the best knowledge of Borrower, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification provided on or prior
to the date hereof to Lenders in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all respects.
Section 3.10. Agreements;
Parent Credit Agreement.
(a) Borrower
is not a party to, nor are its assets bound by, any agreement or instrument, other than those permitted under Section 6.10, and
Borrower is not in default under any provision of any such agreement or instrument.
(b) As
of the Funding Date, Borrower has provided Administrative Agent with true, correct and complete copies of the Issuer Revolver, the Parent
Credit Agreement and all Loan Documents (as defined in the Parent Credit Agreement).

occurs with respect to any Indebtedness that is secured by Shares and incurred by any of the Affiliates of Borrower (other than Issuer
or any of its Subsidiaries) having an outstanding principal amount in excess of the Threshold Amount in the aggregate for all such Indebtedness
of all such Persons, whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, (i) an event of default (however described)
which remains uncured for a period of ten (10) Business Days and/or (ii) the failure to make a principal or interest payment
when due (after giving effect to any applicable cure period in respect of such Indebtedness);
56
(k) (i) (A) one
or more final judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of the Threshold Amount or any material non-monetary
judgment shall be rendered against Borrower and (B) (1) the same shall remain undischarged for a period of thirty (30) days
from the date on which such final judgment was rendered during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, (2) the same is
not subject to further appeal, and (3) any legal action shall be taken by a judgment creditor to attach or levy upon any assets
of Borrower to enforce any such judgment or (ii) (A) any final non-monetary judgments or orders which, individually or in the
aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect shall be rendered against Borrower and (B) (1) Borrower
shall fail within thirty (30) days from the date on which such final non-monetary judgment or order was rendered, during which execution
shall not be effectively stayed, to discharge such judgments or orders, (2) such judgments or orders are not subject to further
appeal or (3) any legal action shall be taken to enforce such judgments or orders; or
(l) the
assets of Borrower constitute "plan assets" within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulation and such condition results in a
non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(C) of the Code subjecting
any Lender to any tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of
ERISA,
then
Administrative Agent may (or at the request of (x) the Required Lenders or (y) any Lender, in the case of an Event of Default
(I) of the type set forth in Section 7.01(a), Section 7.01(b), Section 7.01(c), Section 7.01(g) or 7.01(h) or
(II) relating to a provision of the Margin Loan Documentation that would require the consent of each Lender to amend or waive under
Section 9.01, Administrative Agent shall) notify Borrower thereof (such notice, an "Event of Default Notice")
with a copy to all Lenders and, following the delivery of such Event of Default Notice, any Lender may (i) declare such Lender's
portion of the Total Accrued Loan Amount to be immediately due and payable, whereupon such amounts shall become and be immediately due
and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and (ii) declare
such Lender's Commitment to be terminated, whereupon the same shall immediately terminate; provided, however, that upon
the occurrence of any event in Section 7.01(f), (x) the Total Accrued Loan Amount shall automatically become and be due and
payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and (y) the
Commitment shall automatically be terminated. Upon the occurrence and the continuance of an Event of Default of the type set forth in
Section 7.01(f) or an Event of Default in respect of which Borrower has received an Event of Default Notice, any Lender may
exercise any rights and remedies provided to such Lender under the Margin Loan Documentation (including the enforcement of any and all
Liens created in favor of such Lender pursuant to the Security Agreements) or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under
the UCC.
Section 7.02. Lender's
Remedies and Rights with Respect to Collateral.
(a) Following
the delivery of an Event of Default Notice or following the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default of the type
set forth in Section 7.01(f), each Lender may choose to exercise any remedies provided for herein or in any other Margin Loan Documentation,
or refrain from exercising such remedies, in its sole discretion with respect to the Collateral subject to its control under an Account
Control Agreement (including by virtue of an agency relationship with any Applicable Lender). No Lender shall have any fiduciary or other
duties to the other Lenders in connection with the exercise of remedies against the Collateral securing the Obligations owing to such
Lender or otherwise and no Lender shall interfere with such exercise of remedies or claim (or support any claim by any third party) that
a sale or other disposition of any Lender's Collateral by or on behalf of such Lender was not commercially reasonable. Any Lender that
has become an Accelerating Lender (other than upon the occurrence of any event in Section 7.01(f)) shall promptly notify each Agent
thereof.
57
(b) In
connection with any assignment by a Lender, Borrower agrees to, as promptly as practicable, (i) establish a separate Collateral
Account with Custodian, (ii) enter into an Account Control Agreement (in a form substantially identical to the other relevant Account
Control Agreements) in favor of the assignee with respect to such Collateral Accounts, (iii) enter into a Security Agreement (in
a form substantially identical to the other relevant Security Agreements) granting a Lien in favor of the assignee over such assignee's
Applicable Percentage of the Collateral of each type, (iv) if reasonably requested by Custodian, enter into a customer account agreement
or other agreement with such intermediary, (v) make appropriate amendments to this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation
to reflect any administrative or technical changes as are reasonably requested by the assigning Lender, the assignee or Administrative
Agent, which do not adversely affect Borrower's rights or obligations hereunder and (vi) in the event the assigning Lender cannot
transfer its rights under any applicable Eligible Letter of Credit without the consent of the issuing bank with respect thereto (and
such consent has not been obtained), cause the termination or reduction in the stated amount, as the case may be, of such existing Eligible
Letter of Credit, and the issuance of a new Eligible Letter of Credit in favor of the assignee, in each case, with respect to such portion
of the stated amount of the original Eligible Letter of Credit held by the assignor that constitutes the assigned portion of the Advance
prior to such assignment's effectiveness (it being understood that, to the extent such termination or reduction and issuance has not
occurred prior to such assignment's effectiveness, the assigning Lender shall be deemed to hold such original Eligible Letter of Credit
in trust for the benefit of itself and such assignee until such new issuance has occurred). In connection with any assignment by a Lender
of the entirety of its portion of the Advance hereunder, Borrower agrees that such Lender's rights and obligations under the other Margin
Loan Documentation may be assigned to the assignee.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Margin Loan Documentation, Borrower, Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that
(i) during the continuance of an Event of Default and (except in the case of an Event of Default of the type set forth in Section 7.01(f))
following the delivery of an Event of Default Notice, such Lender shall have the right individually to require Custodian (or the Applicable
Lender acting as agent of such Lender for purposes of perfection, if applicable) to realize upon any of the Collateral subject to such
Lender's control and to apply the proceeds thereof to the repayment of such Lender's portion of the outstanding Advance and any other
Obligations owing to such Lender and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by such Lender on its Collateral
pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or
otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), such Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or
other disposition.
58
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Margin Loan Documentation, when all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification
obligations) owing to any Lender have been paid in full, upon request of Borrower, such Lender shall (without notice to, or vote or consent
of, any other Lender) take such actions as shall be reasonably required to release its security interest in all Collateral under such
Lender's control.
(e) Each
Lender agrees that it will not challenge or question or support any other Person in challenging or questioning in any proceeding the
validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien of any Applicable Lender under any Security Agreement or the validity or enforceability
of the priorities, rights or duties established by or other provisions of this Agreement.
(f) Each
Lender agrees with, and solely for the benefit of, each other Lender that it will not take any Bankruptcy Action with respect to Borrower.
Article 8
AGENTS
Section 8.01. Authorization
and Authority. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., to act on its behalf as Administrative
Agent and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC as Calculation Agent under the Margin Loan Documentation and authorizes each Agent to take
such actions on such Lender's behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 8 are solely for the benefit of
the Agents and Lenders, and Borrower shall not have rights as third-party beneficiaries or otherwise of any of such provisions.
Section 8.02. Agent
Individually.
(a) Each
Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise
the same as though it were not such Agent and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated
or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and
its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally
engage in any kind of business with Borrower or Affiliates thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty
to account therefor to the Lenders.
59
(b) Each
Lender understands that each Person serving as an Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, an "Agent's
Group") are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities
trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 8.02
as "Activities") and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of Borrower or its Affiliates. Furthermore,
an Agent's Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses
for its own account or on behalf of others (including Borrower and its Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf
of others, equity, debt and similar positions in Borrower and its Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative
positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of Borrower and its Affiliates. Each Lender understands and
agrees that in engaging in the Activities, an Agent's Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning Borrower and its Affiliates
(including information concerning the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under the other Margin Loan Documentation)
which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of an Agent's Group. No Agent nor any member of such
Agent's Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure
to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning
the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any Affiliate thereof)
or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that an Agent shall deliver or otherwise
make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by this Agreement to be transmitted by an Agent to the Lenders.
(c) Each
Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of an Agent's Group or their respective customers (including Borrower
and its Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one
or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder). Each Lender agrees that no member of an Agent's Group is or
shall be required to restrict its Activities as a result of the Person serving as an Agent being a member of such Agent's Group, and
that each member of an Agent's Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender. None
of (i) the Margin Loan Documentation, (ii) the receipt by an Agent's Group of information (including Information) concerning
Borrower or its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder and under the
other Margin Loan Documentation) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including
any duty of trust or confidence) owing by an Agent or any member of such Agent's Group to any Lender including any such duty that would
prevent or restrict an Agent's Group from acting on behalf of customers (including Borrower or its Affiliates) or for its own account.
Section 8.03. Duties
of the Agents; Exculpatory Provisions.
(a) An
Agent's duties hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documentation are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and no Agent
shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
an Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,
and an Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to
act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be expressly provided herein) or as explicitly set forth in the Margin
Loan Documentation; provided that, other than explicitly set forth herein, an Agent shall not be required to take any action or refrain
from acting if, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, taking such action or so refraining from acting, as the case may be, may
expose such Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or would, as determined by such Agent in good faith, be contrary to this Agreement
or applicable Law.
60
(b) No
Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary,
including Administrative Agent sending an Event of Default Notice at the direction of any Lender, if such Agent believes in good faith
that the related Event of Default is of a type that would entitle such Lender to issue such direction) or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Facility Adjustment Event, Mandatory
Prepayment Event, Default or Event of Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Facility Adjustment Event, Mandatory
Prepayment Event, Default or Event of Default unless and until Borrower or any Lender shall have given notice to such Agent describing
such Facility Adjustment Event, Mandatory Prepayment Event, Default or Event of Default and such event or events.
(c) No
Agent nor any member of an Agent's Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement,
warranty, representation or other information made or supplied in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation,
(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith
or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of
the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Facility Adjustment Event,
Mandatory Prepayment Event, Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Margin Loan Documentation or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien
or security interest created or purported to be created hereby or thereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article 4 or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required
to be delivered to an Agent.
(d) Nothing
in this Agreement shall require an Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any "know your customer" or other checks
in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agents that it is solely responsible for any such checks
it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by an Agent or any of its Related
Parties.
Section 8.04. Reliance
by Agent. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website
posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.
Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Advance
that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Lender unless an officer or Authorized Representative of such Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received
notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of the Advance. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel
for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by
it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
61
Section 8.05. Delegation
of Duties. An Agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Margin Loan Documentation by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by such Agent, and such Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers
by or through their respective Related Parties. Each such sub-agent and the Related Parties of an Agent and each such sub-agent shall
be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 8 and Margin Loan Documentation (as though such sub-agents were an
"Agent" hereunder and under the other Margin Loan Documentation) as if set forth in full herein with respect
thereto. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that such Agent acted
with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
Section 8.06. Resignation
of Agent. An Agent may at any time give notice of its
resignation to Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation
with Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and not have been cured or waived)), to appoint a successor,
which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If
no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after
the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the "Lender Appointment Period"),
then the retiring Agent may on behalf of Lenders appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. In addition and
without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of Lenders, a successor Agent, the retiring Agent may
at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify Borrower and Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted
appointment as successor Agent and of the effective date of such retiring Agent's resignation which effective date shall be no earlier
than three (3) Business Days after the date of such notice. Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless
of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent's resignation shall nonetheless become
effective and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder and under the other
Margin Loan Documentation but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender and (ii) all payments, communications
and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time
as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 8.06. The successor shall be consented to
by Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default that has not been cured or waived (which consent of Borrower
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that Borrower may withhold such consent in its sole discretion if
(x) such successor is not an Affiliate of Morgan Stanley Senior Funding Inc. and (y) at the time such consent is being withheld,
conditioned or delayed, (A) Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. (or any Affiliate thereof) is a Lender and (B) Morgan Stanley Senior
Funding Inc. (or any Affiliate thereof) is providing similar administrative agency services in respect of margin lending transactions
secured by common shares with other borrowers similarly situated to Borrower). Upon the acceptance of a successor's appointment as an
Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as an Agent
of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as an Agent hereunder
and/or under the other Margin Loan Documentation but shall not be relieved of any of its obligations as a Lender (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this Section 8.06). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent's resignation hereunder
and under the other Margin Loan Documentation, the provisions of this Article 8 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such
retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of
them while the retiring Agent was acting as an Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time any Agent ceases
to be a Lender hereunder, such Agent shall be deemed to have provided its notice of resignation, which notice shall be automatically
effective as of the date such Agent ceased to be a Lender hereunder.
62
Section 8.07. Non-Reliance
on Agents.
(a) Each
Lender confirms to the Agents, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually
or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance
on the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal,
regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making its portion of
the Advance and (z) taking or not taking actions hereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has
determined that entering into this Agreement and making its portion of the Advance is suitable and appropriate for it.
(b) Each
Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising
under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation, (ii) it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated
with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents, any other Lender or any of their respective Related
Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection
with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, without limitation, in each
case:
(i) the
financial condition, status and capitalization of Borrower;
(ii) the
legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation and any other
agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement;
(iii) determining
compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Advance and the form and substance of all evidence delivered
in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition; or
(iv) the
adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of any other information delivered by the Agents, any other Lender or by any of their respective
Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Margin Loan Documentation, the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection
with this Agreement.
63
Section 8.08. Erroneous
Payments.
(a) With
respect to any payment that Administrative Agent makes to any Lender as to which Administrative Agent determines (in its sole and absolute
discretion) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the "Rescindable Amount"): (i) Borrower
has not in fact made the corresponding payment to Administrative Agent; (ii) Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of
the amount(s) received by it from Borrower either individually or in the aggregate (whether or not then owed); or (iii) Administrative
Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent,
at a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing banking industry practice on interbank compensation.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time Administrative Agent determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that
it has made a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by Borrower at such
time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each such Person receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees
to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Person in immediately available funds in
the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to
but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with prevailing
banking industry practice on interbank compensation. Each Lender irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any "discharge
for value" (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of
a debt owed by another), "good consideration", "change of position" or similar defenses (whether at law or in equity)
to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender that received a Rescindable Amount
promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Person comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount. Each Person's obligations,
agreements and waivers under this Section 8.08 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, any transfer
of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitment and/or the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under this Agreement.
Section 8.09. Certain
ERISA Matters. Each Lender, other than the Initial Lender, (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became
a Lender party hereto, to and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases
being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, each Agent and their respective Affiliates (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to
or for the benefit of Borrower or any of its affiliates) that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(a) such
Lender is not using "plan assets" (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection
with the Advances hereunder;
64
(b) the
transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent
qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts),
PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption
for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined
by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance
of the Advances and this Agreement;
(c) (i) such
Lender is an investment fund managed by a "Qualified Professional Asset Manager" (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE
84-14), (ii) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate
in, administer and perform the Advances and this Agreement, (iii) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance
of the Advances and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and
(iv) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with
respect to such Lender's entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances and this Agreement; or
(d) such
other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such
Lender.
In addition, unless sub-clause
(a) above is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided
in sub-clause (d) above, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party
hereto, to and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender
party hereto, for the benefit of, each Agent and their respective Affiliates (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit
of Borrower or any of its affiliates) that none of the Agents or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the
assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by Administrative Agent under this Agreement
or any documents related to hereto or thereto).

further, that (i) the provisions set forth in Article 8 shall not be waived, amended, modified or supplemented, nor
any consent granted to any deviation thereto, without the consent of each Agent affected thereby and (ii) neither Section 2.07
nor Section 2.08 shall be amended or waived in a way that adversely affects any Lender without such Lender's consent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
each Lender agrees with each other Lender and with Borrower that no amendment, termination or supplement shall be made to any Security
Agreement or Account Control Agreement, and no new Margin Loan Documentation shall be entered into with any Lender (subject, for the
avoidance of doubt, to Section 2.13), unless a substantially identical amendment, termination or supplement is made to each other
Security Agreement or Account Control Agreement, or substantially identical Margin Loan Documentation is entered into with each other
Lender, as the case may be.
66
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, upon the occurrence of any Facility Adjustment Event, Calculation Agent shall (a) adjust one or more of
the terms or provisions of the Facility as Calculation Agent determines necessary to account for the effect of the Facility Adjustment
Event on the Facility (unless Calculation Agent determines that no such adjustment is necessary), and (b) determine the effective
time of the adjustment (and may take into account, to the extent applicable to such Facility Adjustment Event, among other factors, volatility,
correlation, liquidity and free float of the Shares or any other Collateral and Transfer Restrictions and Restrictive Conditions, in
each case, relative to the Shares or, if applicable, any other Collateral prior to giving effect to the relevant event, and legal and
regulatory factors, including regulatory capital considerations relevant to Lenders).
Within
two (2) Business Days following the later of (x) the date of occurrence of any Facility Adjustment Event and (y) the date
on which all information material to a reasonable determination (as determined by the Calculation Agent) of the relevant adjustment under
this Section 9.01 in respect of such Facility Adjustment Event, as determined by Calculation Agent, is available to Calculation
Agent, Calculation Agent shall notify each Lender of the adjustments to the terms or provisions of the Facility that it proposes to make
in respect thereof (a "Proposed Adjustment Notice"), and the proposed effective time therefor (or its
determination that no such adjustment is necessary). If, within three (3) Business Days of receiving such Proposed Adjustment Notice,
the Required Lenders notify Calculation Agent in writing that they disagree with such proposed adjustments or effective time (or Calculation
Agent's determination that no such adjustment is necessary), and include in such notice an alternative set of adjustments (or determination
that no such adjustment is necessary) that the Required Lenders propose to make in respect of such Facility Adjustment Event that comply
with the provisions set forth in Section 9.18 (which shall apply for this purpose as if Lenders sending such notice were Calculation
Agent), and, if applicable, a proposed effective time therefor (which effective time shall be no earlier than the time of such determination),
then Calculation Agent shall notify Borrower that such alternative adjustments apply as of such effective time. Except with the consent
or at the direction of the Required Lenders, Calculation Agent shall not make any adjustment in respect of a Facility Adjustment Event
or notify Borrower of its determination that no such adjustment is necessary prior to the earlier of (i) the fifth (5th) Business
Day following the later of the date of occurrence thereof and the date on which all information material to a reasonable determination
(as determined by the Calculation Agent) of the relevant adjustment under this Section 9.01 in respect of such Facility Adjustment
Event, as reasonably determined by Calculation Agent, is reasonably available to Calculation Agent and (ii) its receipt of notice
from the Required Lenders of any alternative adjustments (and a proposed effective time therefor) or that they agree with Calculation
Agent's proposed adjustments (and the effective time therefor) or determination that no such adjustment is necessary. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Calculation Agent may make adjustments (or determine that no adjustment would produce a commercially reasonable result
or that no adjustment is necessary) in respect of a Facility Adjustment Event if a Collateral Shortfall shall have occurred during the
Adjustment Determination Period in respect of such Facility Adjustment Event (it being understood that notice of such adjustment is not
a Proposed Adjustment Notice), and, notwithstanding Section 2.06(c)(i), immediately after making such adjustment (or determining
that no adjustment would produce a commercially reasonable result or that no adjustment is necessary), such Adjustment Determination
Period shall be deemed ended and, if a Collateral Shortfall is occurring on such date, Administrative Agent (or a Lender if Administrative
Agent does not deliver a Collateral Call Notice by 6:00 p.m.) may deliver a Collateral Call Notice on such date in respect of such Collateral
Shortfall. Any such adjustments pursuant to this paragraph shall be binding on all parties to the Margin Loan Documentation and all such
parties shall enter into such documentation required or reasonably requested by Calculation Agent to reflect such adjustments.
67

68
(b) Electronic
Communications. (i) Notices and other communications sent to an email address shall be deemed received when sent absent receipt
of a failure to deliver notice within 30 minutes of such notice or communication being sent (it being understood that an "out of
office" reply does not constitute a failure to deliver notice for this purpose); provided that (x) other than in the
case of a Collateral Call Notice or a Mandatory Prepayment Event Notice, if such notice or other communication is not sent during the
normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on
the next Business Day for the recipient, or (y) in the case of a Collateral Call Notice or a Mandatory Prepayment Event Notice,
if such notice or other communication is not sent by the Notice Deadline on any Scheduled Trading Day, such notice or communication shall

to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as
described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website
address therefor.
(c) Change
of Address, Etc. Each of Borrower and Administrative Agent may change its address, facsimile, telephone number or e-mail address
for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (or, in the case of Borrower, by notice to Administrative
Agent, who shall provide such notice to the other parties hereto). Each Lender may change its address, facsimile, telephone number or
e-mail for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify Borrower thereof.
In addition, each Lender agrees to notify Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that Administrative Agent has on record (i) an
effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications
may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.
(d) Platform.
(i) Borrower
agrees that an Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Electronic Information available to the other Lenders by posting the
Electronic Information on the Platform.
(ii) The
Platform is provided "as is" and "as available." The Agent's Group does not warrant the adequacy of the Platform
and expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Electronic Information. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or
statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party
rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any member of an Agent's Group in connection with the Electronic Information
or the Platform. In no event shall any member of an Agent's Group or any of its Related Parties have any liability to Borrower, a Lender
or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential
damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of Borrower's or any Agent's transmissions through the
Platform.
69
(e) Reliance
by Lenders. Each Lender and each Agent shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower.
All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with any Lender or any Agent may be recorded by such Lender or such Agent,
and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
Section 9.03. No
Waiver; Remedies.
(a) No
failure or delay of any Lender or any Agent in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Margin Loan Documentation shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance
of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
The rights and remedies of Agents and Lenders hereunder and under any other Margin Loan Documentation are cumulative and are not exclusive
of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Margin Loan Documentation or consent to any
departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 9.01, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on Borrower
in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver
of the rights of Agents and Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the making of the Advance shall not, in and of itself, be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default,
regardless of whether Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of such Event of Default at the time.
(b) The
Advance is made with full recourse to Borrower and constitutes direct, general, unconditional and unsubordinated Indebtedness of Borrower.
(c) Borrower
and Lender acknowledge and agree that the Margin Loan Documentation collectively are intended to constitute a "margin loan"
as used in the definition of "securities contract" provided in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and that each
delivery, transfer, payment and grant of a security interest made or required to be made hereunder or contemplated hereby or made, required
to be made or contemplated in connection herewith is a "transfer" and a "margin payment" or a "settlement payment"
within the meaning of Section 362(b)(6) and/or (27) and Section 546(e) and/or (j) of the Bankruptcy Code. As
a result of the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that if Borrower or its property becomes subject to any proceedings under
Debtor Relief Laws, Lender may exercise remedies against the Collateral during the pendency of such proceedings without obtaining any
order, judgment or other relief from the relevant bankruptcy court or any other Governmental Authority, and Borrower agrees not to challenge
any such exercise of remedies. In addition, the parties further acknowledge and agree that all obligations under or in connection with
the Margin Loan Documentation represent obligations in respect of "termination values," "payment amounts" or "other
transfer obligations" within the meaning of Sections 362 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties further acknowledge and agree
that the Margin Loan Documentation collectively constitutes a "master netting agreement" within the meaning of the Bankruptcy
Code.
70
Section 9.04. Costs
and Expenses; Indemnification; Damage Waiver.
(a) Costs
and Expenses. Borrower shall pay promptly (i) all actual, reasonable and documented costs and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by Lenders and each Agent, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for Lenders
and Agents (and one local counsel in the jurisdiction of the Issuer, if relevant) in connection with the Facility, including syndication
thereof, the preparation and administration of the Margin Loan Documentation or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions
of the Margin Loan Documentation (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all
reasonable costs and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lenders and each Agent, including the fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for Lenders and Agents in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the
Margin Loan Documentation, including its rights under this Section 9.04, or in connection with the Advance made hereunder, including
all such expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Advance.
(b) Indemnification
by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Lenders, each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Related Party of any of the foregoing
Persons (each such Person being called an "Indemnitee") against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements
of one primary counsel (and one local counsel in the jurisdiction of the Issuer, if relevant, and, in the case of an actual or perceived
conflict of interest where any Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies Borrower thereof and, with Borrower's consent (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), retains their own counsel and informs Borrower, of another firm of counsel
for such affected Indemnitee and each similarly situated Indemnitee, taken as a whole) for the Indemnitees, taken as a whole, incurred
by or asserted against such Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower or any Related Party of Borrower arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of, (i) this Agreement, any other Margin Loan Documentation or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby
or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the enforcement or protection
of their rights hereunder and thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (which shall not include
any hedging activities by any Indemnitee), any other Margin Loan Documentation or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or
thereby, (ii) the Advance or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,
investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by
a third party or by Borrower or any other Related Party of Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided
that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from
the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties, (y) arise out of any dispute
among Indemnitees (other than a dispute involving claims against Administrative Agent or any Calculation Agent, in each case in their
respective capacities as such) that did not involve actions or omissions of Borrower or its Affiliates or (z) result from a claim
brought by Borrower against an Indemnitee for a material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee's obligations hereunder or under any
other Margin Loan Documentation, if Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Indemnitee shall be severally obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by Borrower
pursuant to this Section 9.04(b) to such Indemnitee to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines, in a final,
non-appealable judgment, that such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof.
71
(c) Waiver
of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any
claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct
or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Margin Loan Documentation or any
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Advance or the use of the proceeds
thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients
of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems
in connection with this Agreement or the other Margin Loan Documentation or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to
the extent such charges result from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee.
(d) Post-Default
Hedging Costs. After (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default and (ii) acceleration of the Obligations of any Lender,
Borrower shall pay, on demand, such Lender's (or its Affiliate's) costs (including the cost of put options), losses (including market
losses), charges, fees, expenses, Taxes or duties of any kind directly relating to its (x) Advance or (y) acquisition, establishment,
re-establishment, substitution, maintenance, unwinding or disposition of, or realization or recovery of the proceeds of, or any part
thereof, any transaction(s) entered into by Lender or its Affiliate to hedge the market risk of the Collateral. Borrower's obligation
under this Subsection (d) shall survive termination of the Facility and payment in full of all other Obligations.
(e) Reimbursement
by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of
this Section to be paid by it to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender's Applicable Percentage
(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided
that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred
by or asserted against such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing
acting for such Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of Lenders under this clause (e) are
subject to the provisions of Section 2.12.
(f) Payments.
All amounts due under this Section 9.04 shall be payable promptly and in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after
demand therefor; provided that any amounts accelerated upon an Event of Default shall be payable immediately.
(g) Survival.
The agreements in this Section 9.04 shall survive the termination of the Facility and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of
all the other Obligations.
Section 9.05. Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to any of Administrative Agent or Lenders (or Administrative
Agent on behalf of Lenders), or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, 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 any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection
with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then 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.
72
Section 9.06. Governing
Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
(a) Governing
Law. The Margin Loan Documentation shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without
giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law, but giving effect
to federal laws applicable to national banks.
(b) Submission
to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive
jurisdiction of any U.S. federal or New York State court sitting in New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard
and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that
a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation shall affect any right that
Lenders may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation against
Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Waiver
of Venue. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation in any court referred to in Subsection (b) above. Each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action
or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Service
of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.02(a).
Nothing in this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other
manner permitted by applicable Law.
(e) WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER MARGIN LOAN
DOCUMENTATION OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER
PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER
PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER MARGIN LOAN DOCUMENTATION BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL
WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.06(E).
73
Section 9.07. Successors
and Assigns.
(a) The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under
any other Margin Loan Documentation without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders (and any attempted
assignment or transfer by Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall
be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and,
to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement. After the Funding Date, a Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its portion of the Advance), with the prior written consent of Borrower
(not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required if (i) an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) such assignment is to an Affiliate of such Lender, another Lender, an Approved
Fund or a Permitted Assignee; provided, further, that (x) Borrower's refusal to accept an assignment to a Disqualified Lender
shall be deemed to be reasonable and (y) Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment unless it shall object thereto
by written notice to Administrative Agent and such Lender within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof. Subject
to notification to Administrative Agent of an assignment and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b) below, the assignee shall
be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned, have the rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement, and
such assigning Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an assignment covering all of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.07, Section 2.08, Section 9.04 and Section 9.13).
Borrower hereby agrees to execute any amendment and/or any other document that may be reasonably necessary to effectuate such an assignment.
(b) The
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption. Administrative Agent, acting
solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption and a register
for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the portion
of the Advance 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 Borrower, Administrative Agent and 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 Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
74
(c) After
the Funding Date, a Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (excluding Parent, Borrower, Issuer and
each of their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries and any natural person) without the prior consent of Borrower (a "Participant"),
in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Margin Loan Documentation (including all
or a portion of the Advance); provided that (x) such Lender's obligations under the Margin Loan Documentation shall remain
unchanged, (y) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to Borrower for the performance of such obligations and (z) Borrower
and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.07 and Section 2.08 (subject
to the limitations and requirements of those Sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to this Section 9.07. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.14
as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of
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 Advance or other obligations under the Margin Loan Documentation (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 the Commitment, the Advance or its other obligations under
any Margin Loan Documentation) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Commitment,
the Advance 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.
(d) A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.07 and Section 2.08 than a Lender would have
been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive
a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant's
entitlement to the benefits of Section 2.08 shall be subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements
under Section 2.08(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.08(e) shall be delivered
to such Lender).
(e) Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations
of such Lender, and this Section 9.07 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that
no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any
such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
75
(f) No
Agent shall be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with
the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall (i) be
obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified
Lender or (ii) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of all or any portion of the
Advance, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.
Section 9.08. Severability.
Any provision of any Margin Loan Documentation held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such
provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 9.09. Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and
the other Margin Loan Documentation constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by each of the parties hereto and when each of the parties hereto shall have received counterparts
hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words "execute," "execution," "signed," "signature,"
and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby (including without limitation any Assignment and Assumption, amendments or other modifications, a Borrowing Notice, waivers and
consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic
platforms approved by Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to
the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act,
the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act; provided that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent is under no obligation to
agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed by Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures
approved by it.
Section 9.10. Survival.
All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of the Margin Loan Documentation
and the making of the Advance, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on the
Advance or any other Obligation under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or unsatisfied. The provisions of Section 2.07, Section 2.08,
Section 9.04 and Section 9.13 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Advance, the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, the assignment of rights by
any Lender or the termination of this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation or any provision hereof or thereof.

Section 9.11. Confidentiality.
Subject to Section 5.06, each Lender and each Agent agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below)
pursuant to the requirements hereof and in accordance with such Agent's or Lender's, as applicable, customary procedures for handling
confidential information of such nature, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates' directors, officers,
employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure
is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to
the extent requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Lender (in which case the disclosing party agrees to inform
Borrower promptly of such disclosure to the extent practicable, unless such notice is prohibited by applicable Law and except in connection
with any request as part of a regulatory examination), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena
or similar legal process (in which case the disclosing party agrees to inform Borrower promptly of such disclosure to the extent permitted
by law and practicable and except in connection with a regulatory examination of an audit or examination conducted by bank accountants),
(d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any other Margin
Loan Documentation, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.11,
to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap, derivative or hedging transaction relating
to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (1) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.11 by such Lender or (2) becomes available to such Lender on
a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrower or its Affiliates or (3) is independently developed by such Lender without
use of the Information. For the purposes of this Section 9.11, "Information" means all information
received from Borrower relating to Borrower or its business hereunder or pursuant hereto, other than any such information that is available
to Lenders on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from
Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation
to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would
accord to its own confidential information. Borrower agrees that the obligations of Lenders and Agents in this Section 9.11 shall
not be interpreted to restrict any such Lender or Agent or their Affiliates from transacting in Shares or related securities.
77
Section 9.12. No
Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby and by the other Margin
Loan Documentation (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Margin Loan Documentation),
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (a) (i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by Lenders
and Agents are arm's-length commercial transactions between Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Lenders, the Agents and
their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, (ii) Borrower has consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors
to the extent they have deemed appropriate, and (iii) Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks
and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Margin Loan Documentation; (b) (i) Lenders and Agents
are and have been acting solely as principals and, except as expressly agreed in writing herein or otherwise by the relevant parties,
have not been, are not, and will not be acting as advisors, agents or fiduciaries for Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other
Person and (ii) Lenders and Agents have no obligation to Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Margin Loan Documentation; and (c) Lenders, Agents and
their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Borrower
and its Affiliates, and Lenders and Agents have no obligations to disclose any of such interests to Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Lenders, Agents or their
respective Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction
contemplated hereby.
Section 9.13. Right
of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, Lenders, Agents and each of their respective Affiliates (each, a "Set-off Party") are
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 obligations at any time owing by such Set-off Party
to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any of and all the obligations and liabilities of Borrower, irrespective of whether
or not the relevant Set-off Party shall have made any demand under the Margin Loan Documentation and although such obligations may be
unmatured. The parties agree each of the Collateral Accounts is a general and not special account. The rights of each Set-off Party under
this Section 9.13 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Set-off Party may have.
The applicable Set-off Party shall notify Borrower promptly after any such setoff and application.
Section 9.14. Judgment
Currency. If a judgment, order or award is rendered
by any court or tribunal for the payment of any amounts owing to Lenders under this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation
or for the payment of damages in respect of a judgment or order of another court or tribunal for the payment of such amount or damages,
such judgment, order or award being expressed in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than Dollars,
Borrower agrees (a) that its obligations in respect of any such amounts owing shall be discharged only to the extent that on the
Business Day following Lenders' receipt of any sum adjudged in the Judgment Currency, Lenders may purchase Dollars with the Judgment
Currency, and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless Lenders against any deficiency in terms of Dollars in the amounts actually received
by Lenders following any such purchase (after deduction of any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase
of, or conversion into, Dollars). The indemnity set forth in the preceding sentence shall (notwithstanding any judgment referred to in
the preceding sentence) constitute an obligation of Borrower separate and independent from its other obligations hereunder, and shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 9.15. USA
PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to
the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), as amended (the "Act"),
and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of
the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address
of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to identify Borrower in accordance
with the Act. Borrower agrees to promptly provide any Lender with all of the information requested by such Lender (x) to the extent
such Lender deems such information reasonably necessary to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act or (y) in connection with
such Lender's standard "on boarding" process (including, without limitation, pursuant to "know your customer" or
anti-money laundering requirements).
78
Section 9.16. Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to the Advance, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are
treated as interest on the Advance under applicable Law (collectively the "Charges"), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by
a Lender holding the Advance in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of the Advance hereunder, together
with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges
that would have been payable in respect of the Advance but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.16 shall
be cumulated until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment,
shall have been received by such Lender.
Section 9.17. Disclosure.
Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lenders and/or their Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make loans to
or have other relationships with Issuer or its Affiliates.
Section 9.18. Calculation
Agent Determinations.
(a) All
calculations and determinations made by Calculation Agent shall be made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. Upon receipt
of written request from Borrower or any Lender, Calculation Agent shall promptly provide Borrower or such Lender with a written explanation
describing in reasonable detail any calculation, adjustment or determination made by it or its Affiliates (including any quotations,
market data or information from internal or external sources used in making such calculation, adjustment or determination, as the case
may be, but without disclosing Calculation Agent's proprietary or confidential models or other information that may be proprietary or
confidential or subject to contractual, legal or regulatory obligations to not disclose such information) and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide such written explanation within five (5) Business Days from the receipt of such request.
(b) If
the Required Lenders notify Calculation Agent that they disagree with any calculation, adjustment or determination made by Calculation
Agent hereunder (or any failure by Calculation Agent to make any calculation, adjustment or determination hereunder) and include in such
notice a proposed alternative calculation, adjustment or determination that complies with subsection (a) above (which shall apply
for this purpose as if the Lenders sending such notice were Calculation Agent), Calculation Agent shall promptly notify Borrower that
such alternative calculation, adjustment or determination applies, and such alternative calculation, adjustment or determination shall
be binding on all parties to the Margin Loan Documentation.
79
(c) If
any provision of the Margin Loan Documentation provides for an action, determination, notice or instruction on the part of the Lenders,
the Required Lenders, and/or any Agent, the Lenders and/or any such Agent may, but shall not be required to, consult with one another
in considering such action, determination, notice or instruction.
Section 9.19. Acknowledgment
and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other
agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial
Institution arising under any Margin Loan Documentation, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down
and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the
application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder

reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution,
its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other
instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any
other Margin Loan Document; or
(iii) the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution
Authority.
Section 9.20. Qualified
Financial Contract. The parties agree that the terms
of Section 1 and Section 2 and the related defined terms (together, the "Bilateral Terms") of
the form of bilateral template entitled "Full-Length Omnibus (for use between U.S. G-SIBs and Corporate Groups)" published
by ISDA on November 2, 2018 (currently available on the 2018 ISDA U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol page at www.isda.org and a
copy of which is available upon request), the effect of which is to amend the qualified financial contracts between the parties thereto
to conform with the requirements of the QFC Stay Rules, are hereby incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement and each other
Margin Loan Documentation, and for such purposes this Agreement and each other Margin Loan Documentation shall each be deemed a "Covered
Agreement," each party that is a Regulated Entity shall be deemed a "Covered Entity" and each party
(whether or not it is a Regulated Entity) shall be deemed a "Counterparty Entity" with respect to each other
party that is a Regulated Entity. In the event of any inconsistencies between this Agreement or any other Margin Loan Documentation and
the Bilateral Terms, the Bilateral Terms will govern. Terms used in this paragraph without definition shall have the meanings assigned
to them under the QFC Stay Rules.
80

ANNEX I
(a) Benchmark
Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Margin Loan Documentation, if a Benchmark Transition Event
and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark
Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark
Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes under all Margin Loan Documentation in respect
of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party
to, any Margin Loan Documentation and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition
of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for
all purposes under all Margin Loan Documentation in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any
amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, any other Margin Loan Documentation so long as the Administrative Agent
has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
If the Benchmark Replacement is based upon Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.
(b) Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement,
the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in any Margin Loan Documentation, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action
or consent of any other party to any Margin Loan Documentation.
(c) Notices;
Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the
implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration,
adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower of (x) the removal or reinstatement
of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) of this Annex and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.
Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders)
pursuant to this Annex, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence
of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and
binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to any Margin
Loan Documentation, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Annex.
82
(d) Unavailability
of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Margin Loan Documentation, at any time (including
in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term
SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that
publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory
supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any
tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest
Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or
non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently
displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer,
subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the
Administrative Agent may modify the definition of "Interest Period" (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark
settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e) Definitions.
"Available
Tenor" means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if
such Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining the length
of an interest period pursuant to the Margin Loan Documentation or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with
reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof) that is or may be used for determining any frequency of making payments of interest
calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to the Margin Loan Documentation, in each case, as of such date.
"Benchmark"
means, initially, the Term SOFR Reference Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to the
Term SOFR Reference Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then "Benchmark" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the
extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (a) of this Annex.
"Benchmark
Replacement" means, with respect to any Benchmark Transition Event, the first alternative set forth in the order
below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:
(a) the
sum of: (i) Daily Simple SOFR and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or
(b) the
sum of (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the relevant Governmental Authority applicable for the relevant
tenor and (ii) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; or
(c) the
sum of: (i) the alternate benchmark rate that has been mutually agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving
due consideration to any then- prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement to the then- current Benchmark
and (ii) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.
83
If the Benchmark Replacement
as determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) or (c) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will
be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of the Margin Loan Documentation.
"Benchmark
Replacement Adjustment" means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark
Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative
value or zero) that has been mutually agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (a) any
selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement
of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the relevant Governmental Authority or (b) any evolving
or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment,
for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement at such time.
"Benchmark
Replacement Date" means a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent, which date shall be no later than
the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(a) in
the case of clause (a) or (b) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the later of (i) the date of
the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (ii) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark
(or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide such Benchmark (or such component
thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(b) in
the case of clause (c) of the definition of "Benchmark Transition Event," the first date on which all Available Tenors
of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available
Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) have been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator
of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be non-representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined
by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if such Benchmark (or such component
thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided
on such date.
For the avoidance of doubt,
if such Benchmark is a term rate, the "Benchmark Replacement Date" will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (a) or
(b) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current
Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
"Benchmark
Transition Event" means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
84
(a) a
public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used
in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide such Benchmark (or such component
thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely;
provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide
such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component
thereof);
(b) a
public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published
component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with
jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator
for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator
for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will
cease to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark
(or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is
no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate,
any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(c) a
public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published
component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term
rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative.
For the avoidance of doubt,
if such Benchmark is a term rate, a "Benchmark Transition Event" will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark
if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of
such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
"Benchmark
Unavailability Period" means, the period (if any) (a) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date
has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under
any Margin Loan Documentation in accordance with this Annex and (b) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced
the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Margin Loan Documentation in accordance with this Annex.
"Conforming
Changes" means, with respect to either the use or administration of Term SOFR or the use, administration, adoption
or implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition
of "Business Day," the definition of "U.S. Government Securities Business Day," the definition of "Interest
Period" or any similar or analogous definition, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing
of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability
of Section 2.07 and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate
to reflect the adoption and implementation of any such rate or to permit the use and administration thereof by the Administrative Agent
in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such
market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration
of any such rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection
with the administration of the Margin Loan Documentation).
"Daily
Simple SOFR" means, for any day, SOFR, with the conventions for this rate (which will include a lookback) being established
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the conventions for this rate selected or recommended by the Federal Reserve Board or
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, or any successor thereto for determining "Daily Simple SOFR" for syndicated business loans; provided
that if the Administrative Agent decides that any such convention is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, then
the Administrative Agent may establish another convention in its reasonable discretion.
"Floor"
means a rate of interest equal to 0.00%.
"Unadjusted
Benchmark Replacement" means the applicable Benchmark Replacement excluding the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.
