Senior Secured Notes due 2033
On April 29, 2026, HLF Financing SaRL, LLC (“HLF Financing”)
and Herbalife International, Inc. (“HII” and together with HLF Financing, the “Issuers”), each a wholly owned
subsidiary of Herbalife Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability (the “Company”), issued
$800 million aggregate principal amount of 7.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2033 (the “Notes”) to certain initial purchasers
(the “Offering”). The Notes were offered and sold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant
to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United
States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes are governed by an indenture, dated as of April 29, 2026, among the
Issuers, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as guarantors and Citibank, N.A., as trustee and notes collateral
agent (the “Indenture”).
The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 7.750% per year payable semi-annually
in arrears in cash on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2026. The Notes will mature on May 1, 2033.
The Notes are jointly and severally, unconditionally guaranteed on a senior
secured basis by the Company and its existing and future subsidiaries that are guarantors of the obligations of any domestic borrower
under the Company’s senior secured credit facility. The Notes and the related guarantees are the Issuers’ and the guarantors’
senior obligations, and are secured on a first-priority basis by liens on the Collateral (as defined in the Indenture), which is the same
collateral that secures the Company’s senior secured credit facility, subject to certain limitations and permitted liens, and are:
(i) equal in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ and guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness; (ii) equal
in priority as to the Collateral owned by the Issuers and guarantors with respect to any obligations of the Issuers and guarantors secured
by a first priority lien on the Collateral, including under the Company’s senior secured credit facility; (iii) effectively senior
to all existing and future indebtedness of the Issuers and guarantors that is unsecured or secured by junior liens on the Collateral,
to the extent of the value of the Collateral owned by the Issuers or such guarantor; (iv) effectively subordinated to all of the Issuers’
and guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is secured by liens on assets that do not constitute a part of the Collateral,
to the extent of the value of such assets; (v) senior in right of payment to any of the Issuers’ future indebtedness that is, by
its terms, expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes, and (vi) structurally subordinated to all liabilities of the Company’s
subsidiaries (other than the Issuers) that are not guarantors.
At any time prior to May 1, 2029, the Issuers may redeem all or part of
the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus a “make whole” premium as of the redemption
date, and accrued and unpaid interest (subject to the rights of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due
on the relevant interest payment date). In addition, at any time prior to May 1, 2029, the Issuers may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes with the proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a redemption price equal to 107.750%, plus accrued
and unpaid interest. Furthermore, at any time on or after May 1, 2029, the Issuers may redeem all or part of the Notes at the following
redemption prices, expressed as percentages of principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, if redeemed
during the twelve-month period beginning on May 1, of the years indicated below:
Year
Percentage
2029
103.875 %
2030
101.938 %
2031 and thereafter
100.000 %
If certain change of control events occur, each holder of Notes will have
the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101%
of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
1
The Indenture contains customary negative covenants, including, among other
things, limitations or prohibitions on restricted payments, incurrence of additional indebtedness, liens, mergers, asset sales and transactions
with affiliates. In addition, the Indenture contains customary events of default.
The foregoing summary of the Indenture is not complete and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Indenture, which includes the form of the Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit
4.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
Senior Secured Credit Facility
On April 29, 2026, the Company, HLF Financing, HII, Herbalife International
Luxembourg S.à R.L., HBL IHB Operations S.à r.l., certain subsidiaries of the Company party thereto as guarantors, the lenders
party thereto, each issuing bank, Citizens Bank, N.A., as collateral agent and Coöperatieve Rabobank U.A., New York Branch (“Rabobank”),
as administrative agent for the lenders under the term loan A facility (the “Term A Facility”) and as administrative agent
for the revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), entered into a ninth amendment (the “Amendment”)
to the Credit Agreement dated as of August 16, 2018 (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”).
The Amendment, among other things, refinanced and replaced in full the
Company’s existing credit facilities with (i) the Term A Facility, with an aggregate principal amount of $225 million, and (ii)
the Revolving Credit Facility, with an aggregate principal amount of $425 million (the refinancings effected pursuant to the Credit Agreement,
together with the Offering, the “Refinancings”).
The Term A Facility and Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at, depending
on the Company’s total leverage ratio, either the Term SOFR plus a margin of between 2.5% and 3.25%, or the base rate plus a margin
of between 1.5% and 2.25%. The base rate represents the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, one-month Term SOFR plus 1.00%,
and the prime rate quoted by The Wall Street Journal, subject to a floor of 1.00%. The Company will pay a commitment fee on the Revolving
Credit Facility of, depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio, between 0.25% to 0.35% per annum on the undrawn portion of
the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term A Facility and Revolving Credit Facility mature upon the earlier of (i) April 29, 2031, or (ii)
December 16, 2027 if the outstanding principal on the Company’s convertible senior notes due 2028 exceeds $250.0 million and the
Company exceeds certain leverage ratios as of that date, or (iii) December 1, 2028 if the outstanding principal on the Issuers’
senior notes due 2029 exceeds $300.0 million and the Company exceeds certain leverage ratios as of that date.
The Credit Agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants
customary for financings of this type, including, among other things, limitations or prohibitions on declaring and paying dividends and
other distributions, redeeming and repurchasing certain other indebtedness, loans and investments, additional indebtedness, liens, mergers,
asset sales and transactions with affiliates. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. The Term A Facility
and Revolving Credit Facility require the Company to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio of 4.00:1.00, a maximum first lien net leverage
ratio of 2.50:1.00, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.00:1.00.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are jointly and severally, unconditionally
guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and certain of its existing and future subsidiaries.
The foregoing summary of the Amendment is not complete and is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amendment a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated
herein by reference.
The Company used the net proceeds from the Refinancings, including borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Facility, and available cash, to repay the $365 million outstanding principal balance on its prior term loan
B facility and to fully redeem the $800 million outstanding principal balance of the Issuers’ 12.250% Senior Secured Notes due
2029 (“2029 Secured Notes”), plus accrued and unpaid interest, and to pay related fees and expenses.

Definitive Agreement” is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.04 Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.
On April 14, 2026, the Issuers issued a conditional notice of full optional
redemption to redeem all of the 2029 Secured Notes, conditioned upon the completion of one or more debt financing transactions and the
receipt of aggregate gross proceeds by the Issuers of at least $800 million on or before April 29, 2026. The closing of the Offering on
April 29, 2026 satisfied the condition precedent set forth in the notice of redemption such that the redemption occurred on April 29,
2026. The 2029 Secured Notes were issued under an Indenture, dated as of April 12, 2024, among HLF Financing, HII, the guarantors party
thereto and Citibank, N.A., as trustee and notes collateral agent. The redemption price for the 2029 Secured Notes was equal to 106.125%
of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date, an aggregate of approximately $852.8
million.

EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding
the date of the event for which the calculation of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio is made (for purposes of this definition, the “First

Date”), then the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, Guarantee,
repayment, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other discharge of funded Indebtedness for borrowed money, or such issuance, repurchase
or redemption of preferred stock, and the use of the proceeds therefrom, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the First Lien
Net Leverage Ratio Reference Period. In addition, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio shall be determined with such pro forma adjustments
as are consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.
15
“Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio” means, with respect to any specified Person for any period (for purposes of this definition, the “Reference

repays, repurchases, redeems, defeases or otherwise discharges any Indebtedness (other than ordinary working capital borrowings) or issues,
repurchases or redeems preferred stock, in each case, subsequent to the commencement of the Reference Period and on or prior to the date
of the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (for purposes of this definition, the “Calculation
Date”), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption, Guarantee,
repayment, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other discharge of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of preferred
stock, and the use of the proceeds therefrom, as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the Reference Period; provided that
the pro forma calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall not give effect to (i) any Indebtedness incurred on the Calculation
Date in reliance on the provisions described in the definition of Permitted Debt (provided, however, that such calculation shall
give effect to Indebtedness incurred on the Calculation Date in reliance on clauses (2), (3) and (19) of the definition of Permitted
Debt) or (ii) any Indebtedness discharged on the Calculation Date to the extent that such discharge results from the proceeds of Indebtedness
incurred on the Calculation Date in reliance on the provisions described in the definition of Permitted Debt.
In addition, for purposes
of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio:
(1) acquisitions
that have been made by the specified Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, including through mergers or consolidations, or any
Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquired by the specified Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and including any
related financing transactions and including increases in ownership of Restricted Subsidiaries, during the Reference Period or subsequent
to the Reference Period and on or prior to the Calculation Date will be given pro forma effect as if they had occurred on the first day
of the Reference Period, and Consolidated EBITDA for such reference period will be calculated on a pro forma basis;
(2) the
Consolidated EBITDA attributable to discontinued operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and operations or businesses (and
ownerships therein) disposed of prior to the Calculation Date, shall be excluded; and
(3) the
Consolidated Interest Expense attributable to discontinued operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and operations or businesses
(and ownership interests) disposed of prior to the Calculation Date, shall be excluded, but only to the extent that the obligations giving
rise to such Consolidated Interest Expense will not be obligations of the specified Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries following
the Calculation Date.
16
For purposes of this definition,
whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction or a calculation is to be made on a pro forma basis, the pro forma calculations
shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company and may include, without duplication, cost
savings, synergies and operating expense reductions resulting from such transaction that have been realized or are expected, in the reasonable
judgment of such financial or accounting officer, to be realized within 12 months of the date of calculation. If any Indebtedness bears
a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate
in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable
to such Indebtedness), and for the avoidance of doubt, if any Indebtedness bears a fixed rate of interest and is being given pro forma
effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable
rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capital Lease
Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the
Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation
referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based
upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period except as set forth in the first paragraph of this definition.
Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a Eurocurrency
interbank offering rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon
such optional rate chosen as the Company may designate.

Company may elect to apply IFRS accounting principles in lieu of GAAP and, upon any such election, references herein to GAAP shall thereafter
be construed to mean IFRS (except as otherwise provided herein); provided that calculations or determinations herein that require
the application of GAAP for periods that include fiscal quarters ended prior to the Company’s election to apply IFRS shall remain

(c) Euroclear
and Clearstream Procedures Applicable. The provisions of the “Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System” and “Terms

Participants through Euroclear or Clearstream.
Section
2.02 Execution and Authentication.
At least one Officer must
sign the Notes for each of the Issuers by manual, electronic or facsimile signature.
If an Officer whose signature
is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time a Note is authenticated, the Note will nevertheless be valid.
A Note will not be valid until
authenticated by the manual, electronic or facsimile signature of the Trustee. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the Note
has been authenticated under this Indenture.
The Trustee will, upon receipt
of one or more written orders of the Issuers signed by at least one Officer of each of the Issuers (each an “Authentication Order”),
authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal
amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuers
pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Section 2.07.
The Trustee may appoint an
authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuers to authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee
may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating
agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the Issuers.
The
Issuers will be responsible for making calculations called for under the Notes, including but not limited to determination of redemption
price, premium, if any, and any additional amounts or other amounts payable on the Notes. The Issuers will make the calculations in good
faith and, absent manifest error, its calculations will be final and binding on the Holders. The Issuers will provide a schedule of their
calculations to the Trustee when requested by the Trustee, and the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on the accuracy of the Issuers’
calculations without independent verification and shall be fully protected in relying upon such calculations.
Section
2.03 Registrar and Paying Agent.
The Issuers will maintain
an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an
office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar will keep a register of the
Notes and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuers may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents.
The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.
The Issuers may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Issuers will notify the Trustee in writing of the
name and address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Issuers fail to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or
Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company, the Issuers or any of the Company’s other Subsidiaries may act as Paying
Agent or Registrar.
44
The Issuers initially appoint
The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.
The Issuers initially appoint
the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes. The Issuer has entered
into a letter of representations with the Depositary in the form provided by the Depositary, and the Trustee and each Agent are hereby
authorized to act in accordance with such letter and Applicable Procedures.
In acting hereunder and in
connection with the Notes, the Registrar and Paying Agent shall act solely as agent of the Issuers and will not assume any fiduciary duty
or other obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust for or with any of the owners or Holders of the Notes.
Section
2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
The Issuers will require each
Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee
all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes, and will notify
the Trustee of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the
Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company, the Issuers or one of the Company’s other
Subsidiaries) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company, the Issuers or one of the Company’s other Subsidiaries
acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying
Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Issuers, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.
Section
2.05 Holder Lists.
The Trustee will preserve
in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders. If the
Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuers will furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each interest payment date and
at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require
of the names and addresses of the Holders of Notes.
Section

by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such nominee to
a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary. All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Issuers for Definitive Notes
if:
(1) the
Issuers deliver to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is
no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Issuers

Trustee in writing. Global Notes also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10. Every
Note authenticated and delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof, pursuant to this Section 2.06
or Section 2.07 or 2.10, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Note. A Global Note may not

(b) Transfer
and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will

of beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person
(other than an Initial Purchaser). Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be
delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.06(b)(1).
(2) All
Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial

given in accordance with the Applicable Procedures containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase;
or

(A) if
the holder of such beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Note proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a beneficial interest
in an Unrestricted Global Note, a certificate from such holder in the form of Exhibit C hereto, including the certifications

contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.
If any such transfer
is effected pursuant to subparagraph (B) above at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Issuers shall issue
and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted
Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of beneficial interests transferred pursuant to
subparagraph (B) above.

interest in a Restricted Global Note.
(5) Automatic
Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note.
Upon the Issuers’
satisfaction that the Private Placement Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, beneficial
interests in a Restricted Global Note may be automatically exchanged into beneficial interests in an Unrestricted Global Note without
any action required by or on behalf of the Holder (the “Automatic Exchange”) at any time on or after the date that
is the 366th calendar day after (A) with respect to the Notes issued on the Issue Date, the Issue Date or (B) with respect to Additional
Notes, if any, the issue date of such Additional Notes, or, in each case, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business
Day (the “Automatic Exchange Date”). Upon the Issuers’ satisfaction that the Private Placement Legend shall no
longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act, the Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, (i) provide
written notice to the Trustee at least 10 calendar days prior to the Automatic Exchange, instructing the Trustee to direct the Depositary
to exchange all of the outstanding beneficial interests in a particular Restricted Global Note to the Unrestricted Global Note, which
the Issuers shall have previously otherwise made eligible for exchange with the Depositary, (ii) provide prior written notice (the “Automatic
Exchange Notice”) to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the register of Holders at least 10 calendar days
prior to the Automatic Exchange (the “Automatic Exchange Notice Date”), which notice must include (w) the Automatic

Order, each duly executed by the Issuers, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Restricted Global
Notes to be exchanged. At the Issuers’ request on no less than 5 calendar days’ notice, the Trustee shall deliver, in the
Issuers’ name and at their expense, the Automatic Exchange Notice to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the
register of Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.06, during the 10 day period between the Automatic
Exchange Notice Date and the Automatic Exchange Date, no transfers or exchanges other than pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(5) shall
be permitted without the prior written consent of the Issuers. As a condition to any Automatic Exchange, the Issuers shall provide, and
the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon, an Officer’s Certificate in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect
that the Automatic Exchange shall be effected in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein
and in the Private Placement Legend shall no longer be required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act and that the aggregate
principal amount of the particular Restricted Global Note is to be transferred to the particular Unrestricted Global Note by adjustment
made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary to reflect the Automatic Exchange. Upon such exchange of beneficial
interests pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(5), the aggregate principal amount of the Global Notes shall be increased or decreased
by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, to reflect the relevant increase or decrease in the

Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuers, an indemnity bond, indemnity and/or security must be

its expenses in replacing a Note.
Every replacement Note is
an additional obligation of the Issuers and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with

time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions
in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08
as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate
of the Issuers holds the Note.
57

to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held
by a protected purchaser.

any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.
If the Paying Agent (other
than the Issuers or an Affiliate thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that
date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.
Section

Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Issuers
or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be
protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned
will be so disregarded.
Section
2.10 Temporary Notes.
Until certificates representing
Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary
Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate
for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers will prepare and upon
receipt of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.
Holders of temporary Notes

a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable
on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the
Notes and in Section 4.01. The Issuers will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid
on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Issuers will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment
date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest.
At least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuers (or, upon the written request of the Issuers, the Trustee in the name and
at the expense of the Issuers) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment
date and the amount of such interest to be paid.
58
Section
2.13 CUSIP Numbers.
The
Issuers in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers, if then generally in use, and thereafter with respect to such
Notes the Trustee may use such numbers in any notice provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The
Issuers will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other similar numbers. Any Additional Notes subsequently
issued would be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture; provided that, if any Additional Notes are not
fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number and ISIN
from the Notes.

or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in minimum amounts
of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased,

any redemption may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion
of an Equity Offering, other debt or equity financing, acquisition or other corporate transaction or event, and, at the Issuers’
discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all of such conditions have been satisfied (or waived by the
Issuers in their sole discretion). In addition, the Issuers may provide in any notice of redemption that payment of the redemption price
and the performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person; provided,
however, that the Issuers will remain obligated to pay the redemption price and perform their obligations with respect to such
redemption in the event such other Person fails to do so. Notice of any redemption in respect of an Equity Offering may be given prior
to completion thereof.
If any such condition precedent
to such redemption has not been satisfied, the Issuers will provide written notice to the Trustee not less than two Business Days prior
to the redemption date that such condition precedent has not been satisfied. The Trustee shall promptly send a copy of such notice to
the Holders of the Notes.
Section
3.04 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

on that date; provided that, to the extent such deposit is received by the Trustee or the Paying Agent after 10:00 a.m. (New York City
time) on any such due date, such deposit will be deemed deposited on the next Business Day. The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly
return to the Issuers any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuers in excess of the amounts necessary to pay
the redemption or purchase price of, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or
the portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase. If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date but on
or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note
was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption or purchase is not so paid upon surrender
for redemption or purchase because of the failure of the Issuers to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the
unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid
on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01.

not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Issuers to the Holder thereof. The Issuers will publicly announce the results
of the Net Proceeds Offer on the Purchase Date.

Section
4.01 Payment of Notes.
The Issuers will pay or cause
to be paid the principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in the Notes. Principal,
premium, if any, and interest will be considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Issuers, holds as of 10:00
a.m. New York City Time on the due date money deposited by the Issuers in immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient
to pay all principal, premium, if any, and interest then due; provided that, to the extent such deposit is received by the Paying
Agent after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any such due date, such deposit will be deemed deposited on the next Business Day.

The Issuers will pay interest
(including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law) on overdue principal at a rate that is 1% higher than
the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace period), at the same

The Issuers will maintain
an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may
be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuers in respect of the Notes
and this Indenture may be served. The Issuers will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location,
of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuers fail to maintain any such required office or agency or fails to furnish the Trustee
with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee.
The Issuers may also from
time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes
and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission will in any manner
relieve the Issuers of their obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Issuers will give prompt written notice
to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.
The Issuers hereby designate
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Issuers in accordance with Section 2.03.
Section
4.03 Reports.
(a) So
long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Trustee:
(1) within
90 days after the end of each fiscal year, annual reports of the Company containing substantially all of the information that would have
been required to be contained in an Annual Report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act if the Company had been a reporting company under
the Exchange Act (but only to the extent similar information was included or incorporated by reference in the Offering Memorandum), including
(A) “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and (B) audited financial
statements prepared in accordance with GAAP;
(2) within
60 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, quarterly reports of the Company containing substantially

Company had been a reporting company under the Exchange Act (but only to the extent similar information was provided or incorporated by
reference in the Offering Memorandum), including (A) “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations,” and (B) unaudited quarterly financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and reviewed pursuant to Statement
on Auditing Standards No. 100 (or any successor provision); and

(3) within
five Business Days after the occurrence of each event that would have been required to be reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K under
the Exchange Act if the Company had been a reporting company under the Exchange Act, current reports containing substantially all of the
information that would have been required to be contained in a Current Report on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act if the Company had been
a reporting company under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that no such current report or any information required to be contained
in such report will be required to be furnished if the Company determines in its good faith judgment that such event, or any information
with respect to such event which is not included in any report that is furnished, is not material to Holders or the business, assets,
operations, financial positions or prospects of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or such current report
relates solely to information required under Items 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, insofar as it relates to securities other than the Notes and the
Note Guarantees, or 5.02(e) of Form 8-K or any successor provisions thereto;
provided, however, that
(i) any information required by Part III of Form 10-K shall be deemed to be timely delivered in accordance with the foregoing requirements
so long as it is included in a definitive proxy statement or amendment to Form 10-K filed with the SEC within the period permitted under
the SEC’s rules and regulations and (ii) all such reports (A) will not be required to comply with Section 302 or Section 404
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or related Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, or Item 10(e) of Regulation
S-K (with respect to any non-GAAP financial measures contained therein), (B) will not be required to contain the information required
by Items 201, 402, 403, 405, 406, 407, 701 or 703 of Regulation S-K, and (C) will not be required to contain the separate financial information

provided, further, that
the foregoing delivery requirements will be deemed satisfied if the foregoing materials are publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR
system (or a successor thereto) within the applicable time periods specified above.
(b) So
long as any Notes are outstanding and the Company is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, if the
foregoing materials are not publicly available on the SEC’s EDGAR system (or a successor thereto) within the applicable time periods
specified above, the Company will also:
(1) issue
a press release to an internationally recognized wire service no fewer than three Business Days prior to the first public disclosure of
the annual and quarterly reports required by clauses (1) and (2) of Section 4.03(a) announcing the date on which such reports
will become publicly available and directing Holders, prospective investors, broker-dealers and securities analysts to contact the investor
relations office of the Company to obtain copies of such reports; and
(2) maintain
a website to which the Trustee, Holders, prospective investors, broker-dealers and securities analysts are given access and to which all
of the reports and press releases required by this Section 4.03 are posted.
(c) So
long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will also:
(1) at
any time after the Company releases its earnings for any annual or quarterly period, but in no event later than 10 Business Days after
furnishing to the Trustee (or filing with the SEC) the annual and quarterly reports required by clauses (1) and (2) of Section 4.03(a),
hold a conference call to discuss such reports and the results of operations for the relevant reporting period (which conference call
may, at the option of the Company, be the same conference call that the Company’s shareholders and/or equity research analysts are
invited to); and
66
(2) issue
a press release to an internationally recognized wire service no fewer than three Business Days prior to the date of the conference call
required to be held in accordance with this paragraph, announcing the time and date of such conference call and either including all information
necessary to access the call or directing Holders, prospective investors, broker-dealers and securities analysts to contact the appropriate
person at the Company to obtain such information.
(d) In
addition, the Company shall furnish to Holders, prospective investors, broker-dealers and securities analysts, upon their request, any
information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not freely transferable
under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, any failure to comply with this Section 4.03 shall be automatically cured when the Company provides all required
reports to the Trustee or the Holders, as applicable, or files all required reports with the SEC, or holds such conference call, as applicable.
Delivery of the above reports
to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such reports shall not constitute actual or constructive
notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s
compliance with any of their respective covenants hereunder (as to which
the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates or certificates delivered pursuant to Section 4.04) or
any other agreement or document. The Trustee shall have no obligation to determine whether or not such information, documents or
reports have been filed pursuant to the EDGAR filing system (or its successor) or postings to any website have occurred. The Trustee has
no duty to participate in or monitor any conference calls.
Section
4.04 Compliance Certificate.
(a) The
Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officer’s Certificate signed by the chief
executive officer, the chief financial officer or the principal accounting officer that need not comply with Section 13.05 stating
that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision
of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under
this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to his or her knowledge the Company has kept, observed,
performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of
any of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, describing
all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take
with respect thereto).
(b) So
long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, promptly (but no later than thirty (30) days) upon
any Officer obtaining knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s Certificate describing such Default or Event of
Default and the status thereof.
Section
4.05 Taxes.
The Company will pay, and
will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies
except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in
any material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

Section
4.06 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.
Each of the Issuers and the
Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that
may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Issuers and the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully
do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power
as though no such law has been enacted.

68
(3) such
Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
after the Issue Date (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clause (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10), (11), (12),
(13), (14), (15), (17), (18) or (20) of Section 4.07(b)), is less than the sum, without duplication, of:

Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee
or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”)
any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company and the Guarantors will not issue any Disqualified Stock and the Company will
not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Guarantors) to issue any shares of preferred stock or preferred shares;
provided, however, that the Issuers and any of the Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue
Disqualified Stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which
internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified
Stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a Pro Forma Basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds
therefrom) as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the
beginning of such four-quarter period.
74
(b) The
provisions of Section 4.09(a) will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted
Debt”):
(1) the
incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of (a) Indebtedness, letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances under
Credit Facilities in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding as of any date of incurrence of any such Indebtedness (together with
the aggregate amount of any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness outstanding as of such date that was incurred pursuant to clause (1)(b)
and that is not deemed to be incurred pursuant to another clause of this Section 4.09(b) or Section 4.09(a) as a result
of reclassification) not to exceed (x) $650.0 million, plus (y) the greater of (A) $500.0 million and (B) 67% of Consolidated EBITDA for
the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding
the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred pursuant to this clause (1), determined on a Pro Forma Basis (including a pro
forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), plus (z) an amount equal to the maximum principal amount of Indebtedness that the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries could incur such that, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, the First
Lien Net Leverage Ratio is equal to or less than 1.50:1.00 (assuming for purposes of such calculation that all such Indebtedness incurred
pursuant to this clause (z) is included in clause (i) of the definition of “First Lien Net Leverage Ratio”),
and (b) any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to extend, refinance, refund, renew, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness
that was incurred pursuant to this clause (1) and was not, as of the date of incurrence of such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness,
deemed to be incurred pursuant to another clause of this Section 4.09(b) or Section 4.09(a) as a result of reclassification;
(2) the
incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness;
(3) the
incurrence by the Company, the Issuers and the Subsidiary Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes and Note Guarantees issued

the purchase price or cost of or refinancing the acquisition, replacement, construction, installation, repair or improvement of fixed
or capital assets, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding, as of the date of incurrence of any Indebtedness pursuant
to this clause (4), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred
pursuant to this clause (4), not to exceed the greater of (a) $175.0 million and (b) 7.0% of Consolidated Total Assets (determined
as of the date of incurrence);
(5) the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds
of which are used to refund, refinance or replace, Indebtedness incurred under clauses (2), (3) or (4) above, this clause (5),
clauses (16), (17), (19), (25), (26) or (27) below or pursuant to Section 4.09(a);
(6) the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
provided, however, that:
(A) if
the Issuers or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, and the payee is not one of the Issuers or a Guarantor, such Indebtedness
must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Issuers,
or the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, in the case of a Guarantor; and
75
(B) (1) any
subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness being held by a Person other than the Company
or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof and (2) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person that is not either the
Company or a Restricted Subsidiary thereof shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company
or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);
(7) the
incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness under Hedging Obligations that are not entered into for
the purpose of speculation;
(8) the
issuance by any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of preferred shares
or shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that:
(a) any
subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than the Company
or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and
(b) any
sale or other transfer of any such preferred stock to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company,
will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock or preferred shares by such Restricted Subsidiary that
was not permitted by this clause (8);
(9) the
Guarantee by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary or joint venture of the

underlying obligation is not in respect of borrowed money;
76
(12) the
incurrence of Indebtedness that may be deemed to arise as a result of agreements of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company

in connection with the disposition of any business or assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or Equity Interests of a Restricted
Subsidiary; provided that (a) any amount of such Obligations included on the face of the balance sheet of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary shall not be permitted under this clause (12) and (b) the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such Obligations
outstanding under this clause (12) shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds including non-cash proceeds (the fair market value

by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;
(13) Indebtedness
incurred under commercial letters of credit issued for the account of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary

of any Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (16), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance

by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of any joint venture of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries,
in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) at any time outstanding, as of the date of incurrence of any Indebtedness
pursuant to this clause (25), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness

all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (26),
not to exceed the greater of (a) $100.0 million and (b) 4.0% of Consolidated Total Assets (determined as of the date of incurrence); and

Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness for borrowed money (excluding intercompany Indebtedness) outstanding by Subsidiaries
of the Company that are not Guarantors shall not at any time exceed $100.0 million.
The Issuers and the Company
will not, and the Company will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness that is contractually
subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company, the Issuers or of such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may
be, unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Guarantee on substantially
the same terms. For purposes of the foregoing, no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to
any other Indebtedness of the Company, the Issuers or any Subsidiary Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured by a junior
priority Lien or by virtue of the fact that the holders of such Indebtedness have entered into intercreditor agreements or other arrangements
giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them, including intercreditor agreements
that contain customary provisions requiring turnover by holders of junior priority Liens of proceeds of collateral in the event that the
security interests in favor of the holders of the senior priority in such intended collateral are not perfected or invalidated and similar
customary provisions protecting the holders of senior priority Liens.
78
For purposes of determining
compliance with this Section 4.09, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the
categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (1) through (27) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a),
the Company will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence (or later reclassify such Indebtedness
in whole or in part) in any manner that complies with this Section 4.09; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under
the Credit Agreement on the Issue Date will, at all times, be treated as incurred on the Issue Date under Section 4.09(b)(1) and
may not be reclassified. In addition, the accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest
on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the reclassification of preferred stock as Indebtedness
due to a change in accounting principles, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same
class of Disqualified Stock will not be treated as an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of
this Section 4.09.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the maximum amount of Indebtedness that may be incurred pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded with respect
to any outstanding Indebtedness due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies.
For purposes of determining
compliance with any U.S. dollar denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness where the Indebtedness incurred, or any Indebtedness
outstanding pursuant to the clause or clauses of the definition of Permitted Debt under which such Indebtedness is being incurred,
is denominated in a different currency, the amount of any such Indebtedness being incurred and such outstanding Indebtedness, if any,
will in each case be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent determined on the date any such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness,
or first committed or first incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. Dollar Equivalent), in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness,
which U.S. Dollar Equivalent will be reduced by any repayment on such Indebtedness in proportion to the reduction in principal amount;
provided, however, that if any such Indebtedness denominated in a different currency is subject to a Currency Protection
Agreement with respect to U.S. dollars covering all principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, payable on such Indebtedness, the
amount of such Indebtedness expressed in U.S. dollars will be as provided in such Currency Protection Agreement. The principal amount
of any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in the same currency as the Indebtedness being refinanced will be the U.S. Dollar Equivalent
of the Indebtedness refinanced, except to the extent that (1) such U.S. Dollar Equivalent was determined based on a Currency Protection
Agreement, in which case the Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness will be determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, and (2) if
the principal amount of the Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced, the
U.S. Dollar Equivalent of such excess, as appropriate, will be determined on the date such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred.
Section
4.10 Asset Sales.
(a) The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
(1) the
Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the
fair market value (measured as of the date of the definitive agreement with respect to such Asset Sale) of the assets or Equity Interests
issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and
79
(2) at
least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash
Equivalents. For purposes of this provision only (and specifically not for the purposes of the definition of “Net Proceeds”),
each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:
(A) any
liabilities, contingent or otherwise (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet
or in the footnotes thereto) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by
their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets;
(B) any
securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that within 180 days
are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received in that conversion);
(C) any
Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market
value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) since the Issue Date that
is at the time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (a) $50.0 million and (b) 2.0% of Consolidated Total Assets at the time of receipt
of such Designated Noncash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at
the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value; and
(D) the
fair market value (measured as of the date such Equity Interests or assets are received) of any Equity Interests or assets of the kind
referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of Section 4.10(b).
(b) Within
365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply
an amount equal to the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale:
(1) (A)
to the extent such Net Proceeds are from an Asset Sale of Collateral, to repay: (i) Obligations under the Notes or (ii) Parity Lien Obligations
(other than the Notes), and in the case of revolving obligations, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; provided
that in the case of any repayment pursuant to clause (A)(ii), the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will either (I) reduce Obligations
under the Notes on an equal or ratable basis with any Parity Lien Obligations repaid pursuant to clause (A)(ii) by, at its option
(y) redeeming the Notes as described under Section 3.07 or (z) purchasing the Notes through open-market purchases or in arm’s
length privately negotiated transactions (which, in each case, may be below par) or (II) make an offer (in accordance with the procedures
for a Net Proceeds Offer set forth in Section 3.09 and this Section 4.10) to all Holders to purchase their Notes for no less
than 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon, or
80
(B) if
the assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale do not constitute Collateral, to repay: (i) (1) Obligations under the Notes and/or
the Credit Facilities Obligations, (2) Obligations under secured Indebtedness incurred pursuant to a Credit Facility and/or (3) Obligations
under any other secured Indebtedness, and in each case, in the case of revolving obligations, to correspondingly reduce commitments with
respect thereto; (ii) Obligations under any other Pari Passu Indebtedness (other than any Pari Passu Indebtedness referred to in clause (B)(i)
above) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (and, in the case of revolving obligations, to correspondingly reduce commitments with
respect thereto); provided that the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary will either (I) reduce the aggregate principal amount
of Obligations under the Notes on an equal or ratable basis with any Pari Passu Indebtedness repaid pursuant to this clause (B)(ii)
by, at its option, (y) redeeming the Notes as provided under Section 3.07 and/or (z) purchasing the Notes through open-market purchases
or in privately negotiated transactions (which, in each case, may be below par) and/or (II) make an offer (in accordance with the procedures
for a Net Proceeds Offer set forth in Section 3.09 and this Section 4.10) to all Holders to purchase their Notes, for no less
than 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon up to the principal amount
of Notes to be repurchased, on an equal or ratable basis with any Pari Passu Indebtedness repaid pursuant to this clause (B)(ii)
(which offer shall be deemed to be a Net Proceeds Offer for purposes hereof); or (iii) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is
not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary;
(2) to
acquire all or substantially all of the assets of another Related Business, or to acquire any Equity Interests of another Related Business,
if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Equity Interests, the Related Business is or becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company;
(3) to
make a capital expenditure;
(4) to
restore, rebuild, repair, construct, improve, replace or otherwise acquire any assets that will be used or useful in a Related Business;
or
(5) a
combination of prepayments and investments permitted by the foregoing clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4);
provided that the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be deemed to have applied such Net Proceeds pursuant to clause (2), (3) or (4) of this Section 4.10(b),
as applicable, if and to the extent that, within 365 days after the Asset Sale that generated the Net Proceeds, the Company has entered
into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to consummate any reinvestment described in clause (2), (3) or (4) of this
paragraph, and such reinvestment is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period; provided, further,
that any assets (including Equity Interests) acquired with the Net Proceeds from a disposition of Collateral are pledged or otherwise
secured as Collateral to the extent required under the Collateral Documents.
(c) Pending
the final application of such Net Proceeds, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce borrowings under the Credit
Facilities or any other revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this
Indenture. Subject to Section 4.10(e), on the 366th day (as extended pursuant to the provisions in Section 4.10(b)) after
an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Company or of such Restricted Subsidiary determines not to
apply the Net Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clause (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) of Section 4.10(b) (each,
a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), an amount equal to such aggregate amount of Net Proceeds which have not been
applied on or before such Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date as permitted in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) of Section 4.10(b)
(each a “Net Proceeds Offer Amount”) shall be applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary to make an offer
to purchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) with respect to the Notes on a date (the “Net Proceeds Offer Payment
Date”) not less than 15 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders
(and, if required by the terms of any Parity Lien Indebtedness or any Pari Passu Indebtedness, from the holders of such Parity Lien Indebtedness
or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) on a pro rata basis (in proportion to the respective principal amounts or accreted value,
as the case may be, of the Notes and Parity Lien Indebtedness or any such Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) an aggregate principal
amount of Notes (plus, if applicable, an aggregate principal amount or accreted value, as the case may be, of Parity Lien Indebtedness
or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable) equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount. The offer price in any Net Proceeds Offer shall be
equal to 100% of the principal amount or accreted value of the Notes and Parity Lien Indebtedness (or 100% of the principal amount or
accreted value, as the case may be, of such Pari Passu Indebtedness), plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the Net Proceeds
Offer Payment Date.
81
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, in
connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect
to any such non-cash consideration), then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and an
amount equal to the Net Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.10.
(e) The
Company may defer the Net Proceeds Offer until there is an aggregate unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount equal to or in excess of $100.0
million resulting from one or more Asset Sales (at which time the entire unutilized Net Proceeds Offer Amount, and not just the amount
in excess of $100.0 million, shall be applied as required pursuant to Section 4.10, and in which case the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger
Date shall be deemed to be the earliest date that the Net Proceeds Offer Amount is equal to or in excess of $100.0 million).
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, with respect to any Asset Sale consummated by a Foreign Subsidiary of the Company, the Company may elect to
reduce the Net Proceeds Offer Amount by the amount of any Restricted Asset Sale Proceeds; provided that the Company shall use its
commercially reasonable efforts such that the distribution of any amounts constituting Restricted Asset Sale Proceeds solely pursuant
to clause (a) of the definition thereof (if such amounts were distributed), or the inclusion of any amounts constituting Restricted
Asset Sale Proceeds solely pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof in the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, would not result in
adverse tax consequences of more than a de minimis amount to the Company and its Subsidiaries (as reasonably determined by the Company),
such that such amounts would not constitute Restricted Asset Sale Proceeds. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall this Section 4.10
require cash at Foreign Subsidiaries to be repatriated.
(g) Each
Net Proceeds Offer will be sent to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 25 days following the Net Proceeds
Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, and shall comply with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09. Upon receiving notice
of the Net Proceeds Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Notes in whole or in part in minimum denominations of $2,000 or integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof in exchange for cash. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes (plus, if applicable,
the aggregate principal amount or accreted value, as the case may be, of Parity Lien Indebtedness or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable)
validly tendered by the Holders thereof and not withdrawn exceeds the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, Notes of tendering Holders (and, if applicable,
Parity Lien Indebtedness or Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered by the holders thereof) will be purchased on a pro rata basis (based on the
principal amount of the Notes and, if applicable, the principal amount or accreted value, as the case may be, of any such Parity Lien
Indebtedness or Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered and not withdrawn). To the extent that the aggregate amount of the Notes (plus, if applicable,
the aggregate principal amount or accreted value, as the case may be, of any Parity Lien Indebtedness or Pari Passu Indebtedness) tendered
pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer is less than the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, the Company may use such excess Net Proceeds Offer Amount
for general corporate purposes or for any other purpose not prohibited by this Indenture. Upon completion of any such Net Proceeds Offer,
the Net Proceeds Offer Amount shall be reset at zero.
82
(h) The
Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange
Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with
the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict
with the provisions of Section 3.09 or this Section 4.10, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall comply with the applicable
securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under Section 3.09 or this Section 4.10
by virtue of such compliance.
Section
4.11 Transactions with Affiliates.
(a) The
Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease,
transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or
amend any transaction, contract, agreement, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0
million, unless:
(1) such
Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those
that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with a Person who
is not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary; and
(2) the
Issuers deliver to the Trustee:

with this Section 4.11 and, in the case of clause (i), that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the
disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company.
(b) The
following items shall not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 4.11(a):
(1) transactions
between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries or exclusively between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries;
(2) Permitted
Investments and Restricted Payments that are permitted by Section 4.07;
(3) reasonable

83
(4) transactions

(5) loans
or advances to officers, directors, managers, consultants and employees, or their respective estates, executors, administrators, heirs,
legatees, distributees, spouses or former spouses of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries permitted by clause (8) of the definition

(6) any
transaction with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) which would constitute an Affiliate Transaction solely because the Company,
directly or through any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, owns an equity interest in or otherwise controls such Person; provided
that no Affiliate of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary shall have a beneficial
interest in such Person;
(7) any
service, purchase, lease, supply or similar agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business (including, without limitation,
pursuant to any joint venture agreement) between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Affiliate that is a customer, client,
supplier, purchaser or seller of goods or services, so long as the Company determines in good faith that any such agreement is on terms
not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length
transaction with an entity that is not an Affiliate;
(8) the
issuance and sale of Qualified Capital Stock;
(9) any
transaction effected in connection with a Qualified Receivables Transaction;
(10) pledges

requirements of Section 4.11(a)(1);
(13) any
contribution to the common equity capital of the Company;
(14) transactions
entered into by an Unrestricted Subsidiary with an Affiliate prior to the day such Unrestricted Subsidiary is redesignated as a Restricted

(15) any
transaction or series of transactions between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and any of their joint ventures.
Section
4.12 Liens.
The Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (other
than Permitted Liens) that secures Obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee of Indebtedness, unless:
(1) in
the case of any Lien on any Collateral, such Lien expressly has Junior Lien Priority on the Collateral relative to the Notes and the Note
Guarantees; and
(2) in
the case of any Lien on any asset or property that is not Collateral, the Notes or the Note Guarantees are equally and ratably secured
with (or on a senior basis to, in case such Lien secures any Subordinated Indebtedness) the Obligations secured by such Lien.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any Lien securing the Notes granted pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged
(a) upon the release by the holders of the Indebtedness described under clause (2) above of their Lien on the property or assets
of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such Indebtedness,
except payment in full made with the proceeds from the foreclosure, sale or other realization from an enforcement on the collateral by
the holders of the Indebtedness described under clause (2) above of their Lien) and (b) as provided under Section 12.02.
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, Liens on any assets or property of Subsidiaries of the Company that are not Guarantors securing Obligations in respect of
any Indebtedness for borrowed money (excluding intercompany Indebtedness) shall not at any time exceed $100.0 million in the aggregate.
Section
4.13 Corporate Existence.
Subject to Article 5,
the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:
(1) its
corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective
organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary; and
(2) the
rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its
Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business
of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders
of the Notes.
Section
4.14 Offer to Repurchase Upon Change of Control.
(a) If
a Change of Control occurs, the Issuers will make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Notes, pursuant
to which each such Holder will have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or integral multiples
of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. In the Change of Control Offer, the Issuers
will offer a payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if
any (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers will send a
notice to each Holder with a copy to the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and
offering to repurchase Notes on the date specified in such notice (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), pursuant
to the procedures required by Section 4.14(b) and described in such notice. The Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1
under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable
in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control. To the extent that the provisions of any securities
laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 4.14, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary shall comply with
the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.14 by
virtue of such compliance.
85
(b) On
the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers will, to the extent lawful:
(1) accept
for payment all Notes or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(2) deposit
with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and
(3) deliver
or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal
amount of Notes or portions thereof being purchased by the Issuers.
The Paying Agent will promptly
mail to each Holder of Notes so tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Notes, and upon receipt of an Authentication Order, the
Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount
to any unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each such new Note will be in a minimum principal amount
of $2,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuers will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer
on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.
(c) The
provisions of Section 4.14(a) that require the Issuers to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable
regardless of whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 4.14, the Issuers will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if (1) a third
party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this
Section 4.14 and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (2) a notice of
redemption has been given prior to the Change of Control pursuant to Section 3.07 unless and until there is a default in payment
of the applicable redemption price.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control and conditioned upon
the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement with respect to the Change of Control is in place at the time the
Change of Control Offer is made.
86
Section
4.15 Limited Condition Transactions.
When calculating the availability
under any basket or ratio under this Indenture, in each case in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction and any related transactions
(including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof), the date of determination of such basket or ratio and/or absence
of any Default or Event of Default shall, at the option of the Issuers, be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition
Transaction are entered into, and such baskets or ratios shall be calculated with such pro forma adjustments as are appropriate and consistent
with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio after giving effect to such Limited
Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness
and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for
which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date of the event for which the calculation is made ending
prior to such date and, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such baskets or ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such
basket or ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Company or the target company) subsequent to such date of
determination and at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Transaction, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed
to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Transaction is
permitted under this Indenture and (y) such baskets or ratios shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition
Transaction or related transactions; provided, further, that if the Issuers elect to have such determinations occur at the
time of entry into such definitive agreement, any such transactions (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds
thereof) shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive agreements are entered and outstanding thereafter for purposes of
calculating any baskets or ratios under this Indenture after the date of such agreement and before the consummation of such Limited Condition
Transaction unless and until such Limited Condition Transaction has been abandoned, as determined by the Issuers, prior to the consummation
thereof; provided, further, that in connection with the making of Restricted Payments prior to the consummation of such
Limited Condition Transaction, the calculation of Consolidated Net Income and Consolidated EBITDA (and any defined term a component of
which is Consolidated Net Income or Consolidated EBITDA) shall not, in any case, assume such Limited Condition Transaction has been consummated.
Section
4.16 Additional Note Guarantees.
If and for so long as any
Restricted Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) directly or indirectly, guarantees any Indebtedness of the Issuers or any domestic
Subsidiary of the Company under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Facility, then such Subsidiary will become a Guarantor and, within
20 Business Days of the date on which it incurs the guarantee of such Indebtedness (or such longer period as agreed by the applicable
administrative agent under the Credit Agreement), the Company shall cause such Restricted Subsidiary to:
(1) execute
and deliver to the Trustee (a) a supplemental indenture substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F hereto pursuant to
which such Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally Guarantee all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture
and (b) a notation of Guarantee in respect of its Note Guarantee;
(2) deliver
to the Trustee one or more Opinions of Counsel (subject to customary assumptions and exceptions) that such supplemental indenture (a)
has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary and (b) constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation
of such Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with its terms; and
(3) execute
and deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent joinder agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Collateral Documents and
take all actions required thereunder to perfect the Liens created thereunder.
87
Section
4.17 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
The Board of Directors of
the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the definition of “Unrestricted
Subsidiary” if the designation would not cause a Default. All outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
in the designated Unrestricted Subsidiary will be treated as an Investment made at the time of the designation and will either reduce
the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 4.07(a) or be a Permitted Investment, as applicable. The amount of all
such outstanding Investments will be the aggregate fair market value of such Investments at the time of the designation. The designation
will not be permitted if such Investment would not be permitted as a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment at that time and if such
Restricted Subsidiary does not otherwise meet the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Any designation of a Subsidiary of the Company
as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of the Board Resolution giving
effect to such designation and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the foregoing conditions
and the conditions set forth in the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary” and was permitted by Section 4.07.
If, at any time, any Unrestricted
Subsidiary would fail to meet any of the requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary
for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be incurred as of such date under Section 4.09, the Company
shall be in default of such Section 4.09.
The Board of Directors of
the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such designation
shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any outstanding Indebtedness of such
Unrestricted Subsidiary and such designation shall only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09, calculated
on a Pro Forma Basis as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference period; and (2) no Default or
Event of Default would be in existence following such designation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(1) no Subsidiary of the Company shall be designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary during any Suspension Period and (2) no Intellectual Property
(other than Intellectual Property that is of de minimis value) shall be transferred from any IP Holding Company to an Unrestricted Subsidiary,
other than non-exclusive licenses.
Section
4.18 Changes in Covenants when Notes are Rated Investment Grade.
If on any date following the
Issue Date:
(a) the
Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both Rating Agencies; and
(b) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture,
88
then beginning on that day and
subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the sections specifically listed below will be suspended with respect to the
Notes:
(1) Section 4.10
(Asset Sales);
(2) Section 4.07
(Restricted Payments);
(3) Section 4.09
(Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock);
(4) Clause (a)(3)
of Section 5.01 (Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets);
(5) Section 4.08
(Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries); and
(6) Section 4.11
(Transactions with Affiliates)
(collectively, the “Suspended
Covenants”). The period during which covenants are suspended pursuant to this Section 4.18 is called the “Suspension
Period.” The Issuers will notify the Trustee in writing of the occurrence or the termination of any Suspension Period; provided
that the failure to notify the Trustee shall not be a default under this Indenture. The Trustee shall not have any duty to (i) monitor
the ratings of the Notes, (ii) determine whether a Suspension Period has occurred or ended or monitor for any event giving rise to a Suspension
Period, or determine the consequences thereof, or (iii) notify Holders of any of the foregoing. Upon notice of the occurrence of a Suspension
Period and in the absence of notice of the termination of such Suspension Period, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants do
not apply and are not in full force and effect. Upon notice of the termination of a Suspension Period and in the absence of notice of
the occurrence of a Suspension Period, the Trustee shall assume the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect.
In the event that the Company
and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of this Section 4.18
and, subsequently, one of the Rating Agencies withdraws its ratings or downgrades the rating assigned to the Notes so that the Notes no
longer have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Company
and the Restricted Subsidiaries will, from and after such date (the “Reinstatement Date”), again be subject to the
Suspended Covenants. Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, no Default
or Event of Default shall be deemed to exist under this Indenture, the Notes or any Note Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants
based on, and none of the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries shall bear any liability with respect to the Suspended Covenants
for (a) any actions taken or events occurring during a Suspension Period (including without limitation any agreements, Liens, preferred
stock, obligations (including Indebtedness), or of any other facts or circumstances or obligations that were incurred or otherwise came
into existence during a Suspension Period), or (b) any actions required to be taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation
entered into during a Suspension Period, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended
Covenants remained in effect during such period.
In the event of any reinstatement
of the Suspended Covenants, all Indebtedness incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been incurred pursuant
Section 4.09(b)(2) and all Restricted Payments made after such reinstatement will be calculated as though the limitations contained
in Section 4.07 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period.
For purposes of Section 4.08,
on the Reinstatement Date, any consensual encumbrances or restrictions of the type specified in Section 4.08(a) entered into during
the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect on the Issue Date, so that they are permitted under Section 4.08(b)(1).
89
For purposes of Section 4.11,
any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reinstatement Date pursuant to a contract, agreement, loan, advance or guaranty with,
or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company entered into during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect as
of the Issue Date for purposes of Section 4.11(b)(4).
During any period when the
Suspended Covenants are suspended, the Board of Directors of the Company may not designate any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as
Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Indenture.
Section
4.19 After-Acquired Collateral.
From and after the Issue Date,
and subject to certain limitations and exceptions set forth in the Collateral Documents and this Indenture (including with respect to
Excluded Assets), if any Issuer or any Guarantor acquires any property or assets which are of a type constituting Collateral under any
Collateral Document (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable Excluded Assets), it shall execute and deliver such security
instruments, financing statements and such certificates as are required under this Indenture or any Collateral Document to provide to
the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes a first-priority perfected security interest (subject
to Permitted Liens) in such after-acquired Collateral and to take such actions to add such after-acquired Collateral to the Collateral
within (i) 60 days of such acquisition with respect to property and assets of any Foreign Subsidiary or (ii) 30 days of such acquisition
with respect to all other property or assets (or such later date as is provided for under the Credit Agreement or as the Credit Facilities
Collateral Agent may have agreed to under the Credit Agreement), and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents
relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after-acquired Collateral to the same extent and with the same force and
effect.
Failure to create and perfect
a security interest in the Collateral shall constitute an Event of Default. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf
of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall have any duty or responsibility to see to or monitor the performance of the Issuers,
the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries with regard to these matters, or to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security
interest in the Collateral.
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein or in any Collateral Document (a) neither the Issuers nor the Guarantors shall be required to deliver leasehold mortgages
and landlord lien waivers, estoppels, warehouseman waivers or other collateral access letters; (b) control agreements shall not be required
in respect of deposit accounts, securities accounts, commodities accounts and other similar accounts; and (c) other than filing UCC financing
statements (or equivalent filings in a foreign jurisdiction), perfection shall not be required with respect to (i) commercial tort claims,
(ii) letter of credit rights (other than supporting obligations) and (iii) any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
to the extent the cost, burden, difficulty or consequence (including any effect on the ability of the Issuers and the Guarantors to conduct
their operations and business in the ordinary course) of perfecting a security interest therein outweighs the benefit of the security
afforded thereby to the Notes Collateral Agent or the Holders as reasonably determined by the Company and the Credit Facilities Collateral
Agent (or, following the discharge of the Credit Facilities Obligations, the Notes Collateral Agent acting at the written direction of
the Applicable Authorized Representative) (and the maximum guaranteed or secured amount may be limited to minimize stamp duty, notarization,
registration or other applicable fees, taxes and/or duties where the benefit to the Notes Collateral Agent or the Holders of increasing
the guaranteed or secured amount is disproportionate to the level of such fees, taxes and/or duties).
90
Prior to the discharge of
the Credit Facilities Obligations, to the extent that the Credit Facilities Collateral Agent is satisfied with or agree to any deliveries
or documents required to be provided in respect of any matters relating to the Collateral or make any determination in respect of any
matters relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, extensions of time or waivers for the creation and perfection of security
interests in, or the obtaining of legal opinions or other deliverables, if applicable, with respect to, particular assets (including in
connection with assets acquired, or Subsidiaries formed or acquired, after the Issue Date)), the Notes Collateral Agent shall be deemed
to be satisfied with such deliveries and/or documents and the judgment of the Credit Facilities Collateral Agent in respect of any such
matters shall be deemed to be the judgment of the Notes Collateral Agent in respect of such matters under this Indenture and the Collateral
Documents.
Section
4.20 Further Assurances.
To the extent required by
the Collateral Documents and this Indenture, the Issuers shall, and shall cause each of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, from time to time
execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional instruments, financing statements, agreements, certificates
or documents, and take all such actions, as may be required under applicable law or as the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may reasonably
request (it being understood that the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent is under no obligation to make such request), in order to
assure, grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interest and Liens created or intended to be created
by the Collateral Documents in the Collateral. In addition, from time to time, the Issuers and the Guarantors will reasonably promptly
secure the obligations under this Indenture and Collateral Documents by pledging or creating, or causing to be pledged or created, perfected
security interests and Liens with respect to the Collateral to the extent required by this Indenture and/or the Collateral Documents.
Section
4.21 Post-Closing Covenants.
The Issuers and the Guarantors
shall use their commercially reasonable efforts, within 90 days following the Issue Date, or as soon as practicable thereafter, provided
such longer period shall have been consented to by the Credit Facilities Collateral Agent, to execute and deliver to the Notes Collateral
Agent all applicable Collateral Documents with respect to non-U.S. Guarantors, and take all actions required thereunder and under this
Indenture, to grant a first-priority perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) upon the property or assets of the Issuers
and Guarantors that would constitute Collateral as security for the Obligations under the Notes.
Failure to create and perfect
a security interest in the Collateral shall constitute an Event of Default. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf
of the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall have any duty or responsibility to see to or monitor the performance of the Issuers,
the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries with regard to these matters, or to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security
interest in the Collateral.

an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary assumptions and exceptions), each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment,
transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such
supplemental indenture, complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture and that all conditions precedent in this Indenture
relating to such transaction have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) any merger of the Company or an Issuer with an Affiliate (other than the other Issuer) incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating
the Company or an Issuer in another jurisdiction shall be permitted without regard to clause (3) of Section 5.01(a) and (ii) any
consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or other disposition of assets between or among the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be permitted. For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise,
in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries
of the Company the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company, shall be deemed
to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company.
(b) Each
Subsidiary Guarantor will not, and the Company will not cause or permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, in a single
transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person other than the Company, an Issuer or any other
Subsidiary Guarantor unless:
(1) if
the Subsidiary Guarantor was a corporation or limited liability company under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia, the entity formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Subsidiary Guarantor) is a
corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District
of Columbia;
93
(2) such
surviving entity assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and the
Collateral Documents shall continue to be in effect and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall cause such amendments, supplements or other instruments
to be executed, filed and recorded in such jurisdictions as may be required by applicable law to preserve and protect the Lien on the
Collateral owned by such Subsidiary Guarantor;
(3) immediately
after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(4) immediately
after giving effect to such transaction and the use of any net proceeds therefrom on a Pro Forma Basis, the Company could satisfy the
provisions of clause (a)(3) of this Section 5.01; provided, however, that this clause (4) shall not apply during
any Suspension Period;
(5) to
the extent any property or assets of such surviving entity, or the Subsidiary Guarantor that is merged, amalgamated or consolidated with
or into such surviving entity, are property or assets of the type that would constitute Collateral under the Collateral Documents or the
Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, such surviving entity will take such action as may be reasonably necessary or required to cause such
property and assets to be made subject to a Lien securing the Notes pursuant to this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Pari
Passu Intercreditor Agreement in the manner and to the extent required by this Indenture or any of the Collateral Documents or the Pari
Passu Intercreditor Agreement, and shall take all reasonably necessary action so that such Lien is perfected, preserved and protected
to the extent required by this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement;
(6) the
Collateral owned by or sold, assigned, conveyed, leased, transferred or otherwise disposed of to the Company, an Issuer or any other Subsidiary
Guarantor shall (a) continue to constitute Collateral under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Pari Passu Intercreditor
Agreement, (b) be subject to the Lien in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent (or, in Malta with respect to certain Collateral, the Credit
Facilities Collateral Agent) for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes and (c) not be subject to any Lien other
than Permitted Liens or other Liens as permitted under the covenant described above under “—Liens”; and
(7) such
surviving entity shall become a party to the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or any
other intercreditor agreement having substantially similar terms with respect to the Holders thereunder by joinder or supplement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the requirements of Section 5.01(b) will not apply to any transaction pursuant to which such Subsidiary Guarantor is automatically
released from its Note Guarantee in accordance with the provisions described under Section 10.04.
Any reference in this Indenture
to a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply
to a division of or by a limited liability company, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company (or the unwinding
of such a division or allocation), as if it were a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, assignment, sale or transfer, or similar
term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person.

Section
5.02 Successor Corporation Substituted
(a) Upon
any consolidation or merger of the Issuers or the Company or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuers or the Company in accordance with Section 5.01(a) in which such Issuer or the
Company is not the continuing entity, the Surviving Entity formed by such consolidation or into which such Issuer or the Company is merged
or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for,
and may exercise every right and power of, such Issuer or the Company under this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantee, respectively,
with the same effect as if such Surviving Entity had been named as such and such Issuer or the Company shall be released from its obligations
under this Indenture and the notes and the Note Guarantee, respectively; provided, however, that the Issuers or the Company
shall not be released from their obligations under this Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantee, respectively, in the case of a lease.
(b) Upon
any consolidation or merger of any Subsidiary Guarantor with or into any Person other than the Company or any other Subsidiary Guarantor
in accordance with Section 5.01(b) and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered
to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance
of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be
substituted for the Subsidiary Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Subsidiary Guarantor. All the Note Guarantees
so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter
issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution
hereof.

promptly stayed;
(6) except
as permitted by this Indenture, any Note Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease
for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm

and the order or decree remains unstayed
and in effect for 90 consecutive days;
(9) any
Collateral Document that creates a Lien with respect to a material portion of the Collateral shall cease, for any reason (other than by
reason of the express release thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or the Collateral Documents), to be in full force and
effect, or any Issuer or any Guarantor (or any of its Affiliates that has the power, directly or indirectly, to direct or cause the direction
of the management and policies of such Issuer or Guarantor) shall so assert in writing, or any Lien with respect to any material portion
of the Collateral created by any of the Collateral Documents shall cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and priority purported

Credit Facilities Collateral Agent, as applicable, to maintain possession of certificates actually delivered to it representing securities
pledged under the Collateral Documents or to file UCC continuation statements or (ii) such loss is covered by a title insurance policy
benefitting the Notes Collateral Agent or the Holders (or the Credit Facilities Collateral Agent or the lenders, applicable) and the related

any time after the execution and delivery thereof, any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall

Section
6.02 Acceleration.
If an Event of Default specified
in Section 6.01(7) or (8) occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare
all amounts owing under the Notes to be due and payable immediately by a notice in writing to the Issuers (and to the Trustee, if given
by Holders) specifying the Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration.”
Upon any such declaration,
the aggregate principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes shall become immediately
due and payable.
97
The Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all of the Holders of all
the Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder except a continuing
Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the principal of, the Notes (except nonpayment of principal
of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Notes that has become due solely because of the acceleration); provided that the Issuers
shall have paid the Trustee its compensation and reimbursed the Trustee for its expenses, disbursements and advances (including reasonable
attorney’s fees).
Section
6.03 Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest
on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture and, subject to the Pari Passu Intercreditor
Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent may pursue any available remedy under the Collateral Documents.
The Trustee may maintain a
proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the
Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall
not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent
permitted by law.
Section
6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.
The Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the
Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder and under the Collateral Documents, except a continuing
Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Notes (including in connection with
an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding
Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration pursuant
to Section 6.02. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed
to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any
right consequent thereon; and prior to such waiver, the Issuers have paid or deposited with the Trustee, a sum sufficient to pay all sums
paid or advanced by the Trustee, the Agents or Notes Collateral Agent hereunder and the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, the Agents or Notes Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel.
Section
6.05 Control by Majority.
Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy
available to the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred on either of them. However, the Trustee
or the Notes Collateral Agent may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee or the Notes
Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes (it being understood that
the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not any such directions are unduly
prejudicial to such Holders) or that may involve the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent in personal liability. The Trustee or the Notes
Collateral Agent may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, which is not inconsistent
with such direction. Prior to taking any such action hereunder, the Trustee and/or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be
entitled to indemnification and/or security satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all fees, losses, liabilities and expenses
(including attorney’s fees and expenses) caused by or that might be caused by taking or not taking such action.
98
Section
6.06 Limitation on Suits.
Subject to Section 6.07
and the provisions of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture
or the Notes unless:
(1) such
Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
(2) Holders
of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3) such
Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security and/or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss,
liability or expense;
(4) the
Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security and/or indemnity; and
(5) during
such 60-day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with such request.
A Holder of a Note may not
use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a
Note (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances
are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).
Section
6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on
the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with any offer to purchase), or to bring
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent
of such Holder.
Section
6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default specified
in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee
of an express trust against the Issuers or the Guarantors for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any,
remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall
be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel (including without limitation any amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06).
99
Section
6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized
to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and
the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers or the Guarantors (or any other obligor upon the
Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make
such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders,
to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 out of
the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid
out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such
proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed
to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim
of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section
6.10 Priorities.
Subject to the Pari Passu
Intercreditor Agreement, after an Event of Default, any moneys or properties distributable in respect of any Issuers’ or any Guarantor’s
obligations under this Indenture, or any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6, shall be paid out
or distributed in the following order:
First: to
the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent (including any predecessor Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent), the Agents, and their respective
agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred,
and all advances made, by the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or any Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;
Second: to
Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, ratably, without preference
or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, respectively;
and
Third: to
the Issuers or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
The Trustee may fix a record
date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.
Section
6.11 Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement
of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court
in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court
in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in
the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11
does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Holders of more than
10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.
100
Section 6.12 Restoration
of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Holder
has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned
for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination
in such proceedings, the Issuers, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder

Section 6.13 Rights
and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided
with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07, no right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right
and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall
not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 6.14 Delay
or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the
Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or
by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or
by the Holders, as the case may be.

(a) If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual notice, the Trustee will exercise

Trustee will not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness, or other paper or
document, but the Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to) make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as
it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it will be entitled to examine the
books, records, and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability
or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.
103
(o) The
transferor of any Note shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with
any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Section 6045 of
the Code. The Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such
information. In connection with any proposed exchange of a certificated Note for a Global Note, each of the Issuers or DTC shall be required

Trustee shall have no obligation to calculate or verify the calculation of the accrued and unpaid interest payable on the Notes.
Section
7.03 Individual Rights of Trustee.
The Trustee in its individual
or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or any Affiliate of the Issuers
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest within
the meaning of Section 310(b) of the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (as if the Trust Indenture Act were applicable
hereto), it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee
is also subject to Section 7.09.
Section
7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer.
The Trustee will not be responsible
for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes or Note Guarantees, it shall not be accountable
for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or Issuers or upon the Company’s or
Issuers’ direction under any provision of this Indenture, it will not be responsible for the use or application of any money received
by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it will not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the
Notes or Note Guarantees or in the Offering Memorandum or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this
Indenture other than its certificate of authentication. Under no circumstances shall the Trustee be liable in its individual capacity
for the obligations evidenced by the Notes or the Note Guarantees. The Trustee shall have no obligation to independently determine or
verify if any event has occurred or notify the Holders of any event dependent upon the rating of the Notes, or if the rating on the Notes
has been changed, suspended or withdrawn by any Rating Agency. The Trustee shall have no obligation to independently determine or verify
if any Change of Control, Suspension Period or Reinstatement Date, or any other event has occurred or notify the Holders of any such event.
Section
7.05 Notice of Defaults.
If a Default or Event of Default
occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee will mail to Holders of Notes
a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after the Trustee’s receipt of notice of the occurrence of the Event
of Default. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on any Note,
the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the
Holders of the Notes.
104
Section
7.06 Compensation and Indemnity.
(a) The
Issuers will pay to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture
and services hereunder as mutually agreed to in writing. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation
of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers will reimburse each of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent promptly upon request
for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such
expenses will include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and the Notes Collateral Agent’s
agents and counsel.
(b) The
Issuers and the Guarantors will jointly and severally indemnify each of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent and its directors,
officers, agents and employees for and hold them harmless against any and all losses, liabilities or expenses, including reasonable attorney’s
fees and expenses, incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance
of its duties under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, including the costs and expenses
of enforcing this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantee, the Collateral Documents and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement against
the Issuers and the Guarantors (including this Section 7.06) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Issuers,
the Guarantors, any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its rights, powers
or duties hereunder, and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs incurred in connection with any action,
claim or suit brought to enforce the Trustee’s or the Notes Collateral Agent’s right to compensation, reimbursement or indemnification,
except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision. The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent will notify
the Issuers promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent to so notify the
Issuers will not relieve the Issuers or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Issuers or such Guarantor will defend
the claim and the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee and the Notes Collateral
Agent may have separate counsel and the Issuers will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Issuers nor any
Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Any settlement of a such
a claim which affects the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may not be entered into without the written consent of the Trustee and
the Notes Collateral Agent, unless each of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent is given a full and unconditional release from liability
with respect to the claims covered thereby and such settlement does not include a statement or admission of fault, culpability or failure
to act by or on behalf of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent.
(c) The
obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under this Section 7.06 will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture,
including any termination or rejection hereof under any Debtor Relief Law, the payment of the Notes and/or the resignation, removal or
replacement of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent.
(d) To
secure the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.06, each of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral
Agent will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, except
that held in trust to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, the payment of the Notes and/or the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent.
105
(e) When
the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(8)
or (9) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended
to constitute expenses of administration under any Debtor Relief Law.
(f) “Trustee”
for the purposes of this Section 7.06 shall include any predecessor Trustee and the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder and
each agent, custodian and other person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of any Trustee hereunder (as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision) shall
not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. “Notes Collateral Agent” for the purposes of this Section 7.06
shall include any predecessor Notes Collateral Agent and the Notes Collateral Agent in each of its capacities hereunder and each agent,
custodian and other person employed to act hereunder; provided, however, that the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of any Notes Collateral Agent hereunder (as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision)
shall not affect the rights of any other Notes Collateral Agent hereunder.
Section
7.07 Replacement of Trustee.

resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s
acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07.
(b) The
Trustee may resign in writing at any time upon 30 days’ notice and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the
Issuers. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying
the Trustee upon 30 days’ notice and the Issuers in writing. The Issuers may remove the Trustee upon 30 days’ notice if:
(1) the
Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09;
(2) the
Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Debtor Relief Law;
(3) a
custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
(4) the
Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
(c) If
the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuers will promptly appoint a
successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuers.
(d) If
a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuers,
or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Trustee at the expense of the Issuers.
(e) If
the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.09,
such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee
at the expense of the Issuers.
106
(f) A
successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuers. Thereupon, the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will send a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly
transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been
paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07,
the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.06 will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee and the successor Trustee.
Section
7.08 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.
If the Trustee consolidates,
merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor
corporation without any further act will be the successor Trustee.
Section
7.09 Eligibility; Disqualification.
There will at all times be
a Trustee hereunder that is a national association or corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision
or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $100.0 million as set forth in
its most recent published annual report of condition.
Section
7.10 Limitation of Duty in Respect of Collateral.
Beyond the exercise of reasonable
care in the custody thereof, the Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or
control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining
thereto and the Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments
in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral.
The Notes Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible
for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or
other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee in good faith.
The Trustee and the Notes
Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection,
priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission
to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part
of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent (as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision),
for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the
Issuers and the Guarantors to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon
the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral (except with respect to certificates delivered to the Notes Collateral
Agent representing securities pledged under the Collateral Documents). The Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no duty to
ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement,
or the Collateral Documents by any Issuer, any Guarantor, or the Credit Facilities Collateral Agent.
107
Section
7.11 Collateral Documents; Intercreditor Agreements.
By their acceptance of the
Notes, the Holders hereby authorize and direct the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to execute and deliver
the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any other Collateral Documents in which the Trustee
or the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, is named as a party, including any Collateral Documents executed after the Issue Date. It
is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent are (a) expressly authorized
to make the representations attributed to Holders in any such agreements and (b) not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements,
or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein,
in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under, Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement
or any other Collateral Documents, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent each shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities,
privileges and other protections granted to it under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents (in addition to those that may be granted
to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).
Section
7.12 Swiss Collateral Documents.
Without limiting any other
rights of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents and
the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, with regard to and as contemplated by each of the Collateral Documents governed by Swiss law (the
“Swiss Collateral Documents”):
(a) the
Notes Collateral Agent shall hold and administer any non-accessory security interest (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheit) governed
by Swiss law as fiduciary (treuhänderisch) in its own name but for the benefit of the Holders;
(b) the
Notes Collateral Agent shall hold and administer any accessory security interest (akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by Swiss law
as direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) in the name and on behalf of the Holders;
(c) each
Holder hereby appoints the Notes Collateral Agent as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) and authorizes the Notes
Collateral Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents) to:
(i) exercise
such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon the Notes Collateral Agent under the
relevant Swiss Collateral Documents together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto;
(ii) take
such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in accordance with the relevant Swiss Collateral Documents;
and
(iii) accept,
enter into and execute as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security
right granted in favor of the Holders in connection with this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents and
the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement under Swiss law and to agree to and execute in its name and on its behalf as its direct representative
(direkter Stellvertreter) any amendments, confirmations and/or alterations to any Swiss Collateral Document which creates a pledge
or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) including the release or confirmation of release of such security
interest, all subject to the provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents and the Pari Passu
Intercreditor Agreement.
108
(d) the
Notes Collateral Agent, when acting in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt, holds:
(i) any
accessory security interest (akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by Swiss law;
(ii) any
proceeds of such security interest; and
(iii) the
benefit of this paragraph and of the Parallel Debt, as creditor in its own right but for the benefit of the Holders in accordance with
this Indenture.
Section
7.13 Parallel Debt.
(a) In
respect to the Swiss Collateral Documents, each Issuer, each Guarantor and each Holder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees and
undertakes with the Notes Collateral Agent (and, where applicable, by way of an abstract acknowledgement of debt (abstraktes Schuldanerkenntnis))
that each Issuer and each Guarantor shall pay to the Notes Collateral Agent sums equal to, and in the currency of, any sums owing by it
to a Holder under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement
(the “Principal Obligations”) as and when the same fall due for payment under the agreement (together with the obligations
described in paragraph (e) below, the “Parallel Debt”).
(b) Each
Issuer, each Guarantor and each Holder acknowledges that the right of the Notes Collateral Agent to demand payment of the Parallel Debt
shall be independent and several from the rights of the other Holders to demand payment of the Principal Obligations provided that the
payment by an Issuer or a Guarantor of its Parallel Debt to the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with this Section 7.13 shall also
discharge (in the amount of the relevant payment) the corresponding Principal Obligations and vice versa, the payment by an Issuer
or a Guarantor of its Principal Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the relevant agreement shall also discharge (in the amount
of the relevant payment) the corresponding Parallel Debt.
(c) Despite
the foregoing, any payment in relation to obligations under this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents
and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement shall be made to the Notes Collateral Agent unless expressly stated otherwise in this Indenture,
the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or unless the Notes Collateral Agent
directs such payment to be made otherwise than to the Notes Collateral Agent.
(d) Without
limiting or affecting the Notes Collateral Agent’s rights against any Issuer or Guarantor, the Notes Collateral Agent agrees with
each other Holder (on a several and divided basis) that it will not exercise its rights under the Parallel Debt in respect of the Principal
Obligations owing to a Holder other than as provided for herein or in any of, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents
and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement. However, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the previous sentence shall in any way limit
the Notes Collateral Agent’s right to act in the protection or preservation of rights under any Collateral Documents or to enforce
any collateral as contemplated by this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents and the Pari Passu Intercreditor
Agreement (or to do any act reasonably incidental to the foregoing).
(e) For
the purpose of this Section 7.13, the Notes Collateral Agent acts in its own name and not as a trustee, and its claims in respect of the
Parallel Debt shall not be held on trust. The Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents to the Notes Collateral Agent to secure
the Parallel Debt is granted to the Notes Collateral Agent in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt and shall not be held on trust.
109
ARTICLE
8
LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
Section
8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
The Issuers may, at their
option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions
set forth below in this Article 8.
Section
8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.
Upon the Issuers’ exercise
under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuers and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to
all outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal
Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuers and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Note Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding”
only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below,
and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee and the Notes
Collateral Agent, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuers, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for
the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(1) the
rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on such Notes
when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04;
(2) the
Issuers’ obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust under Article 2
and Section 4.02;
(3) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder and the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’
obligations in connection therewith; and
(4) the
Legal Defeasance provisions of this Article 8.
Subject to compliance with
this Article 8, the Issuers may exercise their option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of their option
under Section 8.03.
Section
8.03 Covenant Defeasance.
Upon the Issuer’s exercise
under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuers and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained
in Sections 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.16, 4.17, 4.18, 4.19 and 4.20 and clause (3) of Section 5.01
with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter,
“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any
direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but
will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be
deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and
Guarantees, the Issuers and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation
set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by
reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and
such Notes and Note Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuers’ exercise under Section 8.01 of the
option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, Sections 6.01(3),
(4), (5), (6), (7) and (8) will not constitute Events of Default.
110
Section
8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.
In order to exercise either
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03:
(1) the
Issuers must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government
Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient (without consideration of any reinvestment of interest),
in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants delivered to the Trustee,
to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the applicable redemption
date, as the case may be, and the Issuers must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption
date;
(2) in
the case of an election under Section 8.02, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary
assumptions and exceptions) confirming that:
(A) the
Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or
(B) since
the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,
(3) in
either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders or the beneficial owners of
the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance
and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case
if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
(4) in
the case of an election under Section 8.03, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary
assumptions and exceptions) confirming that the Holders or the beneficial owners of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain
or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on
the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
(5) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default
resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);
111
(6) such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under this Indenture or any
material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
is bound (other than any such default under this Indenture resulting solely from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);
(7) the
Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent
of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding
creditors of the Issuers or others; and
(8) the
Issuers must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary assumptions and exceptions),
each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.
Section
8.05 Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.
Subject to Section 8.06,
all money and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect
of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture,
to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuers acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine,
to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such
money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Issuers will pay and indemnify
the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 8.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which
by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.
Notwithstanding anything in
this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Issuers from time to time upon the request of the Issuers
any money or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be
the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to
effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
Section
8.06 Repayment to Issuers.
Any money deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuers, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest
on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall,
subject to applicable abandoned property law, be paid to the Issuers on its request or (if then held by the Issuers) will be discharged
from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Issuers for payment thereof, and all liability
of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuers as trustee thereof, will thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense
of the Issuers cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuers.
112
Section
8.07 Reinstatement.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent
is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case
may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Note Guarantees
will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee
or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; provided, however,
that, if the Issuers make any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Issuers will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by
the Trustee or Paying Agent.

authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein
contained, but the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent will not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that
affects its own rights, duties, indemnities, protections or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.
Section
9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.
Except as provided below in
this Section 9.02, the Issuers, the Guarantors, the Trustee and, if applicable, the Notes Collateral Agent, may amend or supplement
this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 3.09, 4.10 and 4.14), the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents
and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation,
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04
and 6.07, any past or existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of,
premium on, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance
with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral Documents or the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement
may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without
limitation, Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding”
for purposes of this Section 9.02.
Upon the written request of
the Issuers accompanied by a resolution of their respective Board of Directors or managers, as applicable, authorizing the execution of
any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent of evidence satisfactory
to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee and
the Notes Collateral Agent of the documents described in Sections 7.02 and Section 9.05, the Trustee will join with the Issuers
and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects
the Trustee’s or the Notes Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties, indemnities, protections or immunities under this Indenture
or otherwise, in which case the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent may, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental
Indenture.
115
It is not necessary for the
consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver,
but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. The Issuers may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date
for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any supplemental indenture hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders
on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture,
whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that unless such consent shall have become effective
by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent
previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect.
After an amendment, supplement
or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuers will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly
describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuers to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however,
in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07,
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in
a particular instance by the Issuers with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes or the Note Guarantees. However, without the consent
of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a
non-consenting Holder):
(1) reduce
the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver, including the waiver of Defaults or Events
of Default, or to a rescission and cancellation of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes;
(2) reduce
the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on any Note;
(3) reduce
the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of the provisions with
respect to the redemption of the Notes (except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.14);
(4) make
any Notes payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;
(5) make
any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments
of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest on the Notes on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment;
(6) waive
a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, interest or premium, if any, on, the Notes; provided that this clause (6)
shall not limit the right of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes to rescind and
cancel a declaration of acceleration of the Notes following delivery of an acceleration notice as described in Section 6.02);
(7) release
any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture;
(8) contractually
subordinate the Notes or the Note Guarantees to any other Indebtedness, other than, in the case of subordination of liens, as expressly
permitted under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement;
116
(9) subordinate
(x) the Liens securing any of the Obligations under the Notes on all or substantially all of the Collateral to the Liens on the Collateral
securing any other Indebtedness or (y) any Notes in contractual right of payment to any other Indebtedness; or
(10) make
any change in this Section 9.02.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
other than in connection with a transfer or other transaction permitted under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Pari Passu
Intercreditor Agreement, without the consent of the holders of at least 66⅔% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
(including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes),
no amendment, supplement or waiver may (1) have the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the
Collateral Documents or changing or altering the priority of the security interests of the holders of the Notes in the Collateral under
the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, (2) make any change in the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or the
provisions in this Indenture dealing with the application of proceeds of the Collateral that would adversely affect the holders of the
Notes or (3) modify the Collateral Documents or the provisions of this Indenture dealing with Collateral in any manner adverse to the
holders of the Notes in any other material respect other than in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents
or the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement.
Section
9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, supplement
or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent
Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent
is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the
Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement
or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
Section
9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
The Trustee may place an appropriate
notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuers in exchange for all Notes may issue
and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate
notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section
9.05 Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments, etc.
Each of the Trustee and the
Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, will sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the
amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral
Agent, as applicable. The Issuers may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the Board of Directors or manager, as applicable,
of the Issuers have authorized or approved it, or delegated authority to authorize or approve it. In executing any amendment, supplement
or waiver, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall receive and (subject to Section 7.01) will be fully protected in conclusively
relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.04, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating
that the execution of such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, and that it will be valid and
binding upon the Issuers and the Guarantors enforceable against them in accordance with its terms.

NOTE GUARANTEES
Section
10.01 Guarantee.
(a) Subject
to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, irrespective
of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that:
(1) the
principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,
redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on the Notes, if lawful, and all other
obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance
with the terms hereof and thereof; and
(2) in
case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in
full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of
any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated
to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. All payments
under the Note Guarantee shall be made in U.S. Dollars.
(b) The
Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability
of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect
to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment,
demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding
first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except
by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. Each Guarantor also jointly and severally agrees
to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent
or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.
(c) If
any Holder, the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, the Guarantors or
any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuers or the Guarantors, any amount paid
by the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated
in full force and effect.
118
(d) Each
Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed
hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the
one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed
hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction
or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration
of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become
due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from
any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.
Section
10.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.
(a) Each
Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee
of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Debtor Relief Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance
Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, the Obligations of each Guarantor under its Note Guarantee of the Notes shall be limited under
the relevant laws applicable to such Guarantor and the granting of such Note Guarantees (including laws relating to corporate benefit,
capital preservation, financial assistance, fraudulent conveyances and transfers, voidable preferences or transactions under value); provided
that, with respect to each jurisdiction described below, such obligations shall only be limited in the manner described in Sections 10.02(b),
10.02(c) and 10.02(d), pursuant to Section 4.16 or in any supplemental indenture. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee,
the Notes Collateral Agent, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor, other than
those Guarantors incorporated under the laws of a jurisdiction to which specific limitations apply pursuant to Sections 10.02(b),
10.02(c) and 10.02(d) or Section 4.16 apply (and in respect of which Guarantors only such jurisdiction-specific limitations will
apply), will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed
liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution
from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10,
result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
(b) Limitation
on Obligations of Luxembourg Guarantors.
(1) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, to the extent that the guarantee provided herein is granted by a Luxembourg Guarantor, the maximum
liability amount payable by such Luxembourg Guarantor under this Indenture, shall be limited, at any time, to an aggregate amount (without
duplication) not exceeding the greater of (the “Available Amount”):
(i) ninety-five
per cent (95)% of such Luxembourg Guarantor’s net assets (capitaux propres), as referred to in annex I of the grand-ducal
regulation dated 18 December 2015 defining the form and content of the presentation of balance sheet and profit and loss account,
and enforcing the Luxembourg law dated 19 December 2002 concerning the trade and companies register and the accounting and annual
accounts of undertakings (the “Regulation”) and its subordinated debt (dettes subordonnées) as
referred to in annex I of the Regulation, as reflected in the financial information of such Luxembourg Guarantor, including, without limitation,
its latest financial statements (comptes annuels) available at the date of this Indenture and approved by the shareholders of the
applicable Luxembourg Guarantor and certified by the statutory or the independent auditor, and any (unaudited) interim financial statements
signed by its board of managers (gérants), as the case may be, and
119
(ii) ninety-five
per cent (95)% of such Luxembourg Guarantor’s net assets (capitaux propres) as referred to in annex I of the Regulation and
its subordinated debt (dettes subordonnées) as referred to in annex I of the Regulation, as reflected in the financial information
of such Luxembourg Guarantor, including, without limitation, its latest financial statements (comptes annuels) available at the
date of the relevant payment hereunder and approved by the shareholders of the applicable Luxembourg Guarantor and certified by the statorory
or the independent auditor, and any (unaudited) interim financial statements signed by its board of managers (géants), as
the case may be.
Should the financial information
referred in clause (i) and (ii) above not be available on the date the Note Guarantee is called, the relevant Luxembourg Guarantor’s
net assets (“capitaux propres”) will be determined by the Notes Collateral Agent or any other person designated by
the Notes Collateral Agent, acting reasonably, in accordance with the Luxembourg accounting principles applicable to the relevant Luxembourg
Guarantor and at the cost of such Luxembourg Guarantor.
The limitations set forth under
this section shall not apply to any amounts raised under the Notes and made available, in any form whatsoever, to the relevant Luxembourg
Guarantor or any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries.
No Note Guarantee granted by
a Luxembourg Guarantor will extend to include any obligation or liability and no security granted by a Luxembourg Guarantor will secure
any obligations, in each case, if to do so would be unlawful financial assistance in respect of the acquisition of shares in itself under
Article 430-19 or would constitute a misuse of corporate assets (“abus de biens sociaux”) as defined at Article 1500-11
of the Luxembourg Act on commercial companies of 10 August 1915, as amended.
The Available Amount due by
each Luxembourg Guarantor under the Note Guarantee shall be reduced by any amount paid by such Luxembourg Guarantor under any guarantee
granted by such Luxembourg Guarantor in respect of any obligations owed under the Credit Agreement.
(c) Limitation
on Obligations of Swiss Guarantors. Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture, if the obligations expressed to be assumed in
this Indenture are assumed by any Swiss Guarantor, the following shall apply, unless the obligations assumed by the Swiss Guarantor are
for or with respect to its own obligations or the obligations of a wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary, in which case the limitations
set forth in this Section 10.02(c) shall not apply:
(1) If
and to the extent a Swiss Guarantor under or in connection with this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees (or any document entered
into in connection therewith), guarantees, indemnifies and/or otherwise secures obligations of any Issuer and/or other Guarantor (other
than the wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of a Swiss Guarantor) and the performing of the relevant obligation, a guarantee
payment in fulfilling such obligations and/or the using of the proceeds from enforcement of the security interests securing such obligations
(in each case hereunder defined as, an “Enforcement”) would constitute a repayment of capital (Einlagerückgewähr),
a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich geschützte Reserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend
(Gewinnausschüttung) by such Swiss Guarantor, the repayment of statutory capital reserves (Rückzahlung von gesetzlichen
Kapitalreserven) or would otherwise be restricted under Swiss law and practice then applicable, the use of the proceeds of such Enforcement
shall not exceed the amount of such Swiss Guarantor’s freely disposable equity at the time of the Enforcement including, without
limitation, any statutory reserves which can be transferred into unrestricted, distributable reserves, in accordance with Swiss law (the
“Freely Disposable Amount”).
120
(2) This
limitation shall only apply to the extent it is a requirement under applicable law at the time of Enforcement. Such limitation shall not
free the Swiss Guarantor from its obligations in excess of the Freely Disposable Amount, but merely postpone the performance date thereof
until such times when the Swiss Guarantor has again freely disposable equity.
(3) If
the use of the proceeds of any Enforcement under the this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees (or any document entered into in connection
therewith) would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Section 10.02(c), the Swiss Guarantor shall further, to the extent
permitted by applicable law and Swiss accounting standards and upon request by the Notes Collateral Agent, write up or sell any of its
assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case
of sale, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) and
such sale is permitted under the this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees (or any document entered into in connection therewith).
(4) Each
Swiss Guarantor shall, and any holding company of a Swiss Guarantor which is a party to this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees
(or any document entered into in connection therewith) shall procure that such Swiss Guarantor will take and cause to be taken all and
any action as soon as reasonably practicable, including, without limitation, (i) the passing of any shareholders’ and/or quotaholders’
resolutions to approve any payment or other performance under this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees (or any document entered
into in connection therewith), (ii) the provision of an audited interim balance sheet, (iii) the provision of a determination by the Swiss
Guarantor of the Freely Disposable Amount based on such audited interim balance sheet, (iv) the provision of a confirmation from the auditors
of that Swiss Guarantor that the payment in an amount corresponding to the Freely Disposable Amount or the performance of other obligations
is in compliance with the provisions of Swiss corporate law which are aimed at protecting the share capital and legal reserves, and (v)
the obtaining of any other confirmations which may be required as a matter of Swiss mandatory law in force at the time of Enforcement,
in order to allow a prompt payment or performance of other obligations with a minimum of limitations.
(5) If
so required under applicable law (including tax treaties) at the time of Enforcement under this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees
(or any document entered into in connection therewith), each Swiss Guarantor:
(i) shall
use its reasonable endeavors to ensure that the proceeds of any Enforcement can be used without deduction of Swiss withholding tax, or
with deduction of Swiss withholding tax at a reduced rate, by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to applicable
law (including tax treaties) rather than payment of the tax;
(ii) shall
deduct the Swiss withholding tax at such rate (being 35% on the date hereof) as in force from time to time if the notification procedure
pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above does not apply; or shall deduct the Swiss withholding tax at the reduced rate resulting after discharge
of part of such tax by notification if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (1) applies for a part of the Swiss withholding
tax only; and shall pay within the time allowed any such taxes deducted to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and
(iii) shall
promptly notify the Notes Collateral Agent that such notification or, as the case may be, deduction has been made, and provide the Notes
Collateral Agent with evidence that such a notification of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made or, as the case may be,
such taxes deducted have been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.
121
(6) In
the case of a deduction of Swiss withholding tax, each Swiss Guarantor shall use its reasonable endeavors to ensure that any person that
is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss withholding tax deducted from such payment under this Indenture, the Notes, the Note
Guarantees (or any document entered into in connection therewith), will, as soon as possible after such deduction:.
(i) request
a refund of the Swiss withholding tax under applicable law (including tax treaties); and
(ii) pay
to the Notes Collateral Agent upon receipt any amount so refunded.
(d) Limitation
on Obligations of Guarantors Incorporated in England and Wales. Notwithstanding anything set out to the contrary in this Indenture,
the Note Guarantee of a Guarantor incorporated in England and Wales does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result
in such Guarantee constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Act 2006
of the United Kingdom (as amended, varied, supplemented or replaced from time to time).
(e) Limitation
on Obligations of Guarantors Incorporated in Malta. Notwithstanding anything set out to the contrary in this Indenture, the Note Guarantee
of a Guarantor registered in Malta will not extend to include any obligation or liability that would constitute unlawful financial assistance
within the meaning of Article 110 of the Companies Act (Chapter 386 of the Laws of Malta) and which is not capable of being approved and
affirmed pursuant to the provisions of Article 110(4) of the Companies Act (Chapter 386 of the Laws of Malta).
Section
10.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.
To evidence its Note Guarantee
set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached
as Exhibit E hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on
each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.
If an Officer whose signature
is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note
Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by
the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture
on behalf of the Guarantors.
In the event that the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Subsidiary after the Issue Date, if required by Section 4.16, the Company
will cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.16 and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

Section
10.04 Releases.
(a) The
Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released:
(1) upon
any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation),
in a transaction not prohibited by Section 4.10, to any Person who is not (either before or after giving effect to the transaction)
the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor;
(2) in
connection with any sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of that Subsidiary Guarantor, in a transaction not prohibited
by Section 4.10, to any Person who is not (either before or after giving effect to the transaction) the Company or another Subsidiary
Guarantor;
provided, in
both clauses (1) and (2), that the Net Proceeds (if any) of such sale or other disposition shall be applied in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10;
(3) upon
the release or discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuers and any domestic Subsidiary of
the Company under the Credit Agreement and any other Parity Lien Obligations, including the Guarantee that resulted in the obligation
of such Subsidiary Guarantor to Guarantee the Notes, except a release or discharge by or as a result of payment under such Guarantee (it
being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guarantee of Indebtedness
under the Credit Agreement or any other Parity Lien Obligation is reinstated, such Note Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent
that such Subsidiary Guarantor would then be required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.16); provided that,
if such Subsidiary Guarantor has incurred any Indebtedness in reliance on its status as a Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 4.09,
such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under such Indebtedness so incurred are satisfied in full and discharged or are otherwise
permitted to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor) under Section 4.09;
(4) if
such Subsidiary Guarantor merges with and into the Company or an Issuer, with the Company or an Issuer surviving such merger;
(5) if
such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this Indenture or otherwise ceases to be a Restricted
Subsidiary (including by way of liquidation or dissolution) in a transaction not prohibited by this Indenture;
(6) if
the Issuers exercise their Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article 8 or if the Issuers’
obligations under this Indenture are discharged in accordance with Article 11;
(7) if
it is determined in good faith by the Company that a liquidation, dissolution or merger out of existence of such Subsidiary Guarantor
is in the best interests of the Company and is not materially disadvantageous to the Holders; and
123
(8) in
the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that after the Issue Date is required to guarantee the Notes pursuant to Section 4.16, the
release, discharge or termination of the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Issuers or the repayment of the
Indebtedness, in each case, that resulted in the obligation to guarantee the Notes, except if a release, discharge or termination is by
or as a result of payment in connection with the enforcement of remedies under such other guarantee or Indebtedness (it being understood
that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guarantee of Indebtedness under the Credit
Agreement or any other Parity Lien Obligation is reinstated, such Note Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that the Company
would then be required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.16).
(b) The
Note Guarantee of the Company will be automatically released, in connection with any transaction resulting in the creation of a Parent
Entity, upon the release or discharge of the Company from its Guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuers and any domestic Subsidiary of
the Company under the Credit Agreement (including by reason of the termination of the Credit Agreement) and any other Parity Lien Obligation,
except a release or discharge by or as a result of payment in connection with the enforcement of remedies under such Guarantee or direct
obligation (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guarantee
of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or any other Parity Lien Obligation is reinstated, such Note Guarantee shall also be reinstated
to the extent that the Company would then be required to provide a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.16); provided, for
the avoidance of doubt, that any such Parent Entity will become a Guarantor with respect to the Notes and under this Indenture by executing
and delivering to the Trustee a supplemental indenture (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee).
(c) The
Issuers will notify the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent in writing if any Guarantor is released from its Note Guarantee. Any Guarantor
not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in this Section 10.04 will remain liable for the full amount
of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as
provided in this Article 10. Upon delivery by the Issuers to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate
to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including
without limitation Section 4.10, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent will execute any documents reasonably required in order
to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section
11.01 Satisfaction and Discharge.
This Indenture will be discharged
and will cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as expressly
provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes issued hereunder, when:
(1) either:
(a) all
Notes that have been authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for
whose payment money has been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuers and thereafter repaid to the Issuers or
discharged from their trust as provided in this Indenture) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(b) all
Notes that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the sending of a notice of
redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year; and the Issuers
or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of
the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient
(in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent public accountants delivered to the
Trustee if U.S. Government Obligations are delivered), without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the
entire Indebtedness (including all principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any) on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of maturity or redemption, as the
case may be;
124
(2) in
respect of subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section 11.01, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit
and any similar deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings) and the deposit
will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuers or any Guarantor
is a party or by which the Issuers or any Guarantor is bound (other than with respect to the borrowing of funds to be applied concurrently
to make the deposit required to effect such satisfaction and discharge and any similar concurrent deposit relating to other Indebtedness,
and in each case the granting of Liens to secure such borrowings);
(3) the
Issuers or any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and
(4) the
Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money towards the payment of
the Notes at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be.
In addition, the Issuers must
deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (subject to customary assumptions and exceptions) to the Trustee stating
that all conditions precedent under this Indenture to satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied. After the conditions
to discharge contained in this Article 11 have been satisfied, and the Issuers have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable
hereunder by the Issuers, and delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied, the Trustee upon the Issuers’ request shall acknowledge in writing
the discharge of the obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under this Indenture, subject to those obligations that survive.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture, if money has been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this
Section 11.01, the provisions of Sections 11.02 and 8.06 will survive. In addition, nothing in this Section 11.01 will
be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 7.06, that, by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
Section
11.02 Application of Trust Money.
Subject to the provisions
of Section 8.06, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in
accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including
the Issuers acting as their own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium,
if any, and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law.
125
If the Trustee or Paying Agent
is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 11.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or
by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application,
any Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though
no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 11.01; provided that if the Issuers have made any payment of principal of, premium
on, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuers shall be subrogated to the rights of
the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

the benefit of the Holders, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent and pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Pari
Passu Intercreditor Agreement. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents (including
the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, each

rights thereunder in accordance therewith.

or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture
and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. On or following the Issue Date and subject to

continuation statements and amendments to financing statements), agreements and instruments, make all filings (including filings of financing
statements under the UCC (or foreign equivalent) and continuation statements and amendments to such financing statements that may be necessary
to continue the effectiveness of such financing statements), and take all further action that may be required under applicable law in
order to assure, grant, preserve, protect and perfect (or continue the perfection of) the validity and priority of the Liens and security
interests created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents in the Collateral; provided that for so long as there are
outstanding any Obligations under the Credit Agreement, no actions shall be required to be taken with respect to the perfection of the
security interests in the Collateral to the extent such actions are not required to be taken, and have not been taken, with respect to
the Credit Agreement. Such security interest and Liens will be created under the Collateral Documents and other security agreements, mortgages
and other instruments and documents.
126
(d) The
terms of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement are hereby ratified and approved by the Trustee on its own behalf and on behalf of the
Holder in all respects and the Trustee on its own behalf and on behalf of the Holders directs the Notes Collateral Agent to bind itself

may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Collateral Documents at any time and from time to time in accordance
with the provisions of the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture, the Issuers and the Guarantors will

required pursuant to the terms of any Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement; and

a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance as set forth in Article 8.
127

respect to any release of Collateral, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent under this
Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, to such release have been met and that
it is permitted for the Trustee and/or Notes Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the documents requested by the Issuers in connection
with such release and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Issuers, the Trustee

Intercreditor Agreement and shall do or cause to be done (at the Issuers’ expense) all acts reasonably requested of them to evidence
or acknowledge the release of such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall
be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate, and notwithstanding any term hereof or

of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Collateral Documents or this Indenture, and such suits
and proceedings as the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent may determine to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the
Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 12.03 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the
part of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent.

for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor
shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article 12 to be sold be under any obligation

signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuers or a Guarantor or of any Officer
or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 12; and if the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent shall be in the
possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral
Agent.
Section
12.07 Notes Collateral Agent.
(a) The
Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Notes Collateral Agent as its agent under
this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any,
and the Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Notes Collateral Agent to take such
action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and the
Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Notes
Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien
Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and consents and agrees to the terms of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor
Agreement, if any, and each Collateral Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The Notes Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions
contained in this Section 12.07. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions
of this Indenture, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Collateral Documents,
and the exercise by the Notes Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding
upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari
Passu Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, the duties of the Notes Collateral Agent shall be ministerial
and administrative in nature, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set
forth herein and in the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any,
to which the Notes Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary
relationship with the Trustee, any Holder, the Issuers or any Guarantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and the
Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or otherwise exist, against the Notes Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Notes Collateral Agent is not
intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead,
such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
independent contracting parties.
(b) The
Notes Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement
or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any
specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact
of such Person and its Affiliates (a “Related Person”), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel of its selection
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in
reliance upon any advice or opinion given by such counsel. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct
of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith
and with due care.
129
(c) None
of the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its respective Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken
by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct, as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision) or under or in
connection with any Collateral Document, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or
the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally adjudicated by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for
any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Issuers or any other Guarantor or Affiliate of any
Guarantor, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor
Agreement, or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to
or provided for in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the
Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability
or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
if any, or for any failure of the Issuers, any Guarantor or any other party to this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu
Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of
the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain
or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the Collateral
Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or to inspect the properties, books,
or records of the Issuers, any Guarantor or any of their Affiliates.
(d) The
Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or
conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made
by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuers
or any Guarantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Notes Collateral Agent. The Notes Collateral
Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Notes Collateral Agent shall
be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor
Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction
by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action. The Notes Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture,
the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, in accordance with
a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.
130
(e) The
Notes Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a
Responsible Officer of the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Issuers referring to this
Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default,” and such notice
references the Notes, the Indenture and the Issuer. The Notes Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as may be requested in accordance with, and subject to the provisions of, Article 6 by the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 12.07).
(f) The
Notes Collateral Agent may resign at any time by 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee and the Issuers, such resignation to be
effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Notes Collateral Agent. If the Notes Collateral Agent resigns
under this Indenture, the Issuers shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the
intended effective date of the resignation of the Notes Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Trustee, at the
written direction of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may appoint a successor
collateral agent, subject to the consent of the Issuer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required
during a continuing Event of Default). If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuers pursuant to the preceding
sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Notes Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as
successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring
Notes Collateral Agent, and the term “Notes Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring
Notes Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Notes Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Notes
Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.07 (and Section 7.10) shall continue to inure
to its benefit and the retiring Notes Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability
as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Notes Collateral Agent under this Indenture.
(g) The
Trustee shall initially act as Notes Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Notes Collateral Agents as necessary in its
sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Collateral Documents or the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement
or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors,
employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for
any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person
or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Notes Collateral Agent shall be accountable
only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any
of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross
negligence, or willful misconduct (as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable decision).
(h) The
Notes Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Collateral Documents to which it is party, whether executed on

131
(i) If
at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments
with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the
Trustee from the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Notes Collateral Agent in excess
of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article 6, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Notes
Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Notes Collateral Agent such proceeds
to be applied by the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Pari Passu Intercreditor
Agreement.
(j) The
Notes Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which,
in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, or the applicable provision of the Personal Property Security Act, can be perfected only
by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon written request from the Issuers, the Trustee shall notify
the Notes Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall, subject to the terms and conditions of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement,
deliver such Collateral to the Notes Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Notes Collateral Agent’s
instructions.
(k) The
Notes Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or
is owned by the Issuers, any Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Notes Collateral Agent’s
Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular
priority, or to determine whether all or the Issuers’ or any Guarantor’s property constituting Collateral intended to be subject
to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be,
or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner
or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available
to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Collateral Document, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior
Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, other than pursuant to the instructions of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall have a duty
or obligation to monitor the condition, financial or otherwise, of any Issuer or any Guarantor.
(l) If
any Issuer or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of Parity Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations at any time when
no applicable intercreditor agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting Parity Lien Obligations or Junior Lien
Obligations entitled to the benefit of an existing Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently
retired, and (ii) delivers to the Notes Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Notes Collateral
Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or, in the case
of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, in customary market form (as reasonably determined by the Issuers as set forth in an Officer’s
Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent) that neither contravenes nor is prohibited by this Indenture and
other Indebtedness secured by any Collateral and in form and substance acceptable to the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent and the Notes
Collateral Agent) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the Parity Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations
so incurred, together with an Opinion of Counsel, the Notes Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into
such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Issuers, including reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Notes Collateral
Agent), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.
132
(m) No
provision of this Indenture, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or any Collateral
Document shall require the Notes Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request
or direction of Holders unless it shall have received indemnity and/or security satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent against potential
costs and liabilities incurred by the Notes Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Indenture, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or the Collateral Documents, in the
event the Notes Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire
control or possession of the Collateral, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any
remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Notes Collateral
Agent has determined that the Notes Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from,
the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Notes Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking
any action described in this Section 12.07(m) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security and/or undertaking from the
Issuer or the Holders to be sufficient.
(n) The
Notes Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the
Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Collateral Documents or instrument referred
to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final non-appealable decision), (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Notes Collateral
Agent may agree in writing with the Issuers (and money held in trust by the Notes Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall
be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith
and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Notes Collateral Agent shall
not be construed to impose duties to act.
(o) Neither
the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control.
Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations
superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither
the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (included
but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.
(p) The
Notes Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuers or any
other Guarantor under this Indenture, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the
Collateral Documents. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements,
information, representations or warranties contained in this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement,
the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for
in, or received by the Notes Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the
Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, or any Collateral Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability
of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and any Collateral Documents of any other
party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity,
effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability
of any Obligations under the Notes; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or
legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under the Notes and under this Indenture, the
Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Collateral Documents. The Notes Collateral
Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of
Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior
Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Collateral Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this
Indenture, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and any Collateral Documents. The
Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture,
the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Collateral Documents unless expressly
set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with
respect to the administration of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien
Intercreditor Agreement, if any.
133
(q) The
parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be responsible
for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties,
fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any
remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs,
for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this
Indenture, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, the Collateral Documents or any actions
taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its
rights under this Indenture, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Collateral
Documents, the Notes Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Notes
Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise
constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. In the event that the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required
to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary
or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Notes Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s sole discretion may
cause the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or any other
applicable law or otherwise cause the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state
or local law, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee each reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the
Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver.
Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Issuers, the Guarantors or any other Person for any environmental
claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Notes Collateral Agent’s
or the Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened
release of hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for property to be possessed, owned,
operated or managed by any Person (including the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee) other than the Issuers or the Guarantors, Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes shall direct the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee in writing
to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee) who they shall designate to possess,
own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the property.
(r) Upon
the receipt by the Notes Collateral Agent of a written request of the Issuers signed by an Officer (a “Collateral Document Order”)
and together with the documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 9.05, the Notes Collateral Agent is hereby authorized
to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Collateral
Document or amendment or supplement thereto to be executed after the Issue Date; provided that the Notes Collateral Agent shall
not be required to execute or enter into any such Collateral Document which, in the Notes Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion
is reasonably likely to adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Notes Collateral Agent or that the Notes
Collateral Agent determines is reasonably likely to involve the Notes Collateral Agent in personal liability. Such Collateral Document
Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Collateral Document Order referred
to in, this Section 12.07(r), and (ii) instruct the Notes Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Collateral Document. Other
than as set forth in this Indenture, any such execution of a Collateral Document shall be at the direction and expense of the Issuers,
upon delivery to the Notes Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and
delivery of the Collateral Document have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the
Notes Collateral Agent to execute such Collateral Documents (subject to the first sentence of this Section 12.07(r)).
134
(s) Subject
to the provisions of the applicable Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
if any, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Notes Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Pari Passu Intercreditor
Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents
and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes Collateral Agent
shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any,
or the Collateral Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without
the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.
(t) After
the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee, acting at the written direction of the Holders of a majority of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, may, subject to the terms of the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, direct
the Notes Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture, the Collateral Documents or the Pari
Passu Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any.
(u) The
Notes Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the
Collateral Documents or the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and to the extent not
prohibited under the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, for turnover to the Trustee
to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10
and the other provisions of this Indenture.
(v) In
each case that the Notes Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any Collateral Document, the Pari Passu Intercreditor
Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any, to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation
to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act
hereunder or under any Collateral Document or the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any,
the Notes Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes). The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted
to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes). If the Notes Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to
refrain from such Action unless and until the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Trustee, acting at the written
direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall
not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.
135
(w) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in any Collateral Document or the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien
Intercreditor Agreement, if any, in no event shall the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation
with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended
to be created by this Indenture, the Collateral Documents, the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement,
if any (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC or PPSA financing or continuation statements or similar documents
or instruments), nor shall the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor the
Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Collateral Documents or the security
interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.
(x) Before
the Notes Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the written request or direction of the Issuers or the Guarantors,
other than as set forth in this Indenture, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform
to the provisions of this Section 12.07 and Section 13.04. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.
(y) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Notes Collateral Agent, subject to the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, shall act pursuant
to the instructions of the Trustee (acting at the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes) solely with respect to the Collateral Documents and the Collateral.
(z) If
any Notes Collateral Agent consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business
(including this transaction) to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor of such
Notes Collateral Agent.
(aa) The rights, privileges,
benefits, immunities, reliances, indemnities and other protections given to the Trustee hereunder, including, without limitation, Section 7.06
are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Agents and the Notes Collateral Agent as if the Agents and the Notes Collateral Agent
were named as the Trustee herein and the Collateral Documents were named as this Indenture herein.
(bb) Notwithstanding anything
else to the contrary herein (but not with respect to express discretions to the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder), whenever reference
is made in this Indenture or any Collateral Document, to any discretionary action whether by consent, designation, specification, requirement
or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be)
suffered or omitted by the Notes Collateral Agent in its discretion or to any discretionary election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use
of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Notes
Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Notes Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take
any such discretionary action if it shall not have received written instruction, advice or concurrence of the Trustee, acting at the written
direction of the Holders or the Holders (acting in accordance with this Indenture and the Collateral Documents), or any controlling agent
or representative under any intercreditor agreement or Collateral Document in respect of such action (in each case as applicable). The
Notes Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any failure or delay in taking any actions contemplated above as a result of a failure
or delay on the part of the Trustee, acting at the written direction of the Holders or the Holders (acting in accordance with this Indenture
and the Collateral Documents), or any controlling agent or representative under any intercreditor agreement or Collateral Document to
provide such instruction, advice or concurrence.

THE TRUSTEE AND THE NOTES COLLATERAL AGENT, AND EACH HOLDER OF A NOTE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE THEREOF, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING

to be paid interest on the principal amount of this Note at 7.750% per annum from April 29, 2026 until maturity. The Issuers will
pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing November 1, 2026, or if any such day is not a Business
Day, on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of such delay (each,
an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been
paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that, if this Note is authenticated between a record
date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest
Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be November 1, 2026. The Issuers will pay interest
(including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law) on overdue principal at a rate that is 1% higher than
the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace period), at the same
rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
(2) Method
of Payment. The Issuers will pay interest on the Notes (except default interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders
of Notes at the close of business on the April 15 or October 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled
after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect
to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest at the office or agency of the Paying
Agent and Registrar; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal
of, premium on, if any, and interest on all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions

Issuers may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes. The Company, the Issuers or any of
the Company’s other Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.
(4) Indenture.

subject to all such terms, and by acceptance hereof, in accordance with the Indenture, Holders agree to be bound by all of such terms
as they may be amended from time to time. Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision

Notes in such offer and the Issuers, or any third party making such offer in lieu of the Issuers, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered

prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such repurchase date, to redeem (with respect to the Issuers) or repurchase (with
respect to a third party) all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price offered to each other
Holder in such offer (which may be less than par and shall exclude any early tender premium or similar premium and any accrued and unpaid
interest paid to any Holder in such offer payment) plus, to the extent not included in the offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest,

purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the
date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment
date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within ten days following any Change of Control, the Issuers will mail a notice

any Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors under the Notes, the
Indenture, the Note Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder

of the Notes.

and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.
(20) GOVERNING

foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with any such disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured
creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code, any Debtor Relief Law, any relevant Security Document or any other applicable law. Each

Junior Lien Agents, for the benefit of the Junior Lien Secured Parties, shall retain a Lien on the Proceeds of such sale, transfer or
other disposition (to the extent that such proceeds are not applied to the Senior Lien Obligations as provided in Section 4.1(b)
hereof), such sale, transfer or other disposition will be free and clear of the Liens on such Collateral (but not the Proceeds thereof)
securing the Junior Lien Obligations, and the Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Secured Parties’ Liens with respect to the Collateral
(but not the Proceeds thereof) so sold, transferred or disposed (and any Junior Lien Guaranty by any Credit Party that, as a result of
such sale, transfer or other disposition, is no longer a Subsidiary of the Borrowers) shall terminate and be automatically released without
further action concurrently with, and to the same extent as, the release of the Senior Lien Secured Parties’ Liens on such Collateral
(and, as applicable, of the Senior Lien Guaranty by such Credit Party). In furtherance of, and subject to, the foregoing, each Junior
Lien Agent agrees that it will promptly execute any and all Lien releases, debt assignments or transfers or other comparable documents
reasonably requested by the Senior Lien Agents in connection therewith, in each case in customary form. Each Junior Lien Agent hereby
appoints the Designated Senior Lien Agent and any officer or duly authorized person of the Designated Senior Lien Agent, until the date
upon which the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations shall have occurred, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact
with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of such Junior Lien Agent and in the name of such Junior Lien Agent or

any financing statements, financing change statements, endorsements, assignments, releases, discharges or other documents or instruments
of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).

shall have occurred, no Junior Lien Secured Party shall acquire or hold any consensual Lien on any assets securing any Junior Lien
Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Senior Lien Agents under the Senior Lien Documents. If any Junior
Lien Agent or other Junior Lien Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any
Credit Party securing any Junior Lien Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Senior Lien Agents under the
Senior Lien Documents, then such Junior Lien Agent (or the relevant Junior Lien Secured Party) shall, without the need for any
further consent of any other Junior Lien Secured Party, the Borrowers, any Junior Lien Guarantor or any other Person and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Junior Lien Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien as agent
or bailee for the benefit of the Senior Lien Agents as security for the Senior Lien Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and
other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify the Designated Senior Lien Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien upon

Parties, each Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, agrees that any amounts received by

of the parties that, until the date upon which the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations shall have occurred, no Senior Lien Secured Party
shall acquire or hold any consensual Lien on any assets securing any Senior Lien Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien
of the Junior Lien Agents under the Junior Lien Documents (other than as set forth in Section 2.1(d)). If any Senior Lien Agent
or other Senior Lien Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Credit Party
securing any Senior Lien Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Junior Lien Agents under the Junior Lien Documents
(other than as set forth in Section 2.1(d)), then such Senior Lien Agent (or the relevant Senior Lien Secured Party) shall, without
the need for any further consent of any other Senior Lien Secured Party, the Borrowers, any Senior Lien Guarantor or any other Person
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Senior Lien Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien as agent
or bailee for the benefit of the Junior Lien Agents as security for the Junior Lien Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other
terms hereof) and shall promptly notify the Designated Junior Lien Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien upon becoming aware
thereof.

Section 2.6 Similar
Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intention
that the Collateral subject to Liens securing the Senior Lien Obligations and the Collateral subject to Liens securing the Junior
Lien Obligations be identical; provided, that this provision will not be violated with respect to any Junior Lien Obligations
if the applicable Junior Lien Agent is given a reasonable opportunity to accept a Lien on any asset or property and such Junior Lien
Agent states in writing that the Junior Lien Documents in respect thereof prohibit such Junior Lien Agent from accepting a Lien on
such asset or property or such Junior Lien Agent otherwise expressly declines to accept a Lien on such asset or property (any such
prohibited or declined lien a “Declined Junior Lien”). In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto
agree:
(a) to cooperate
in good faith in order to determine, upon any reasonable request by any Senior Lien Agent or Junior Lien Agent, the specific assets included
in the Collateral subject to Liens securing the Senior Lien Obligations and the Collateral subject to Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations,
the steps taken to perfect the Liens securing the Senior Lien Obligations thereon and the Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations thereon
and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the Senior Lien Documents and the Junior Lien Documents; and
(b) that the documents,
agreements and instruments creating or evidencing the Collateral subject to the Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations (and such Liens)
shall be in all material respects in the same form as the documents, agreements and instruments creating or evidencing the Collateral
subject to the Liens securing the Senior Lien Obligations (and such Liens), other than with respect to the senior priority and junior
priority nature of the Liens created or evidenced thereunder, the identity of the Secured Parties that are parties thereto or secured
thereby and other matters contemplated by this Agreement, including the existence of any Declined Junior Lien.
Section 2.7 Waiver
of Marshalling. Until the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations, each Junior Lien Agent, on
behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of any marshalling,
appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Collateral or
any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law; provided, however, that the Junior
Lien Secured Parties shall have the rights expressly provided by Section 2.3(b)(v).
Section 2.8 No
Waiver by Senior Lien Secured Parties. Other than with respect to the actions permitted
under clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.3(b) hereof, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the
Senior Lien Agents or any other Senior Lien Secured Party from opposing, challenging or objecting to, in any Insolvency Proceeding
or otherwise, any action taken, or any claim made, by any Junior Lien Agent or any other Junior Lien Secured Party, including any
request by any Junior Lien Agent or any other Junior Lien Secured Party for adequate protection or any exercise by any Junior Lien
Agent or any other Junior Lien Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Junior Lien Documents or
otherwise.

Borrowers and any Junior Lien Guarantor as unsecured creditors (other than initiating or joining in any involuntary case or
proceeding under any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Credit Party or exercising any Secured Creditor Remedies); provided
that (i) no such action is prohibited or otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) any judgment Lien obtained
by any Junior Lien Secured Party as a result of any such enforcement or exercise of rights shall be subject to the terms of this
Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Liens of the Senior Lien Secured Parties) as the other Liens of the Junior
Lien Secured Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Junior Lien Agent or any other Junior Lien Secured
Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Junior Lien Documents so long
as such receipt is not (a) a distribution or recovery in any Insolvency Proceeding in contravention of this Agreement or (b) the
direct or indirect result of the enforcement or exercise by any Junior Lien Agent or any other Junior Lien Secured Party of rights
or remedies as a secured creditor (including any right of setoff or other Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies) or enforcement
in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien securing the Junior Lien Obligations (including any judgment lien resulting from the
exercise of remedies available to an unsecured creditor, to the extent such judgment lien applies to Collateral).

interest granted to the Junior Lien Agents in such Collateral, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.2. None
of the Senior Lien Agents or the other Senior Lien Secured Parties shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Junior Lien Agents or
the other Junior Lien Secured Parties to assure that the Collateral is genuine or owned by the Borrowers, any Guarantor or any other
Person or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person. The duties or responsibilities of the Senior Lien Agents under this Section
3.2 are and shall be limited solely to holding or maintaining control of the Control Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the
Junior Lien Agents for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the Junior Lien Agents. So long as the Discharge of Senior Lien
Obligations has not occurred, the Senior Lien Agents shall be entitled to deal with the Control Collateral in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and the other Senior Lien Documents as if the Liens in favor of the Junior Lien Secured Parties did not
exist. The Senior Lien Agents are not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for the Junior Lien Secured Parties or
any other Person. In addition, each Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, hereby agrees
and acknowledges that other than with respect to Collateral that may be perfected through the filing of a UCC financing statement or
other applicable public filing, the Senior Lien Agents’ Liens may be perfected on certain items of Collateral with respect to
which the Junior Lien Agent’s Liens would not be perfected but for the provisions of this Section 3.2, and each Junior
Lien Agent, on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, hereby further agrees that the foregoing described in
this sentence shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement.

Section 3.3 Sharing
of Information and Access. In the event that any Junior Lien Agent shall, in the exercise of
its rights under any of the Junior Lien Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of
any Senior Lien Credit Party which contain information identifying or pertaining to any of the Collateral, such Junior Lien Agent
shall, upon request from any Senior Lien Agent and as promptly as practicable thereafter (at the sole expense of the Credit
Parties), either make available to the Designated Senior Lien Agent such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide
the Designated Senior Lien Agent copies thereof.
Section 3.4 Insurance
and Condemnation Awards. Proceeds of Collateral include insurance proceeds and condemnation
awards and, therefore, the Lien Priority shall govern the ultimate disposition of casualty insurance proceeds and condemnation
awards. The Designated Senior Lien Agent and the Designated Junior Lien Agent shall each be named as additional insured or loss
payee, as applicable, with respect to all insurance policies relating to the Collateral as set forth in any Senior Lien Credit
Agreement or any Junior Lien Credit Agreement, as applicable. The Designated Senior Lien Agent shall have the sole and exclusive
right, as against the Junior Lien Agents, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or
destruction of Collateral and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding, or any deed in lieu of
condemnation, in respect of Collateral. All proceeds of such insurance and any such award, or any payments with respect to a deed in
lieu of condemnation, shall be remitted to the Designated Senior Lien Agent, and each of the Senior Lien Agents and Junior Lien
Agents shall cooperate (if necessary) in a reasonable manner in effecting the payment of insurance proceeds or any such awards or
payments in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof.
Section 3.5 No
Additional Rights For the Credit Parties Hereunder. If any Senior Lien Secured Party or
Junior Lien Secured Party shall enforce its rights or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Parties shall
not be entitled to use such violation as a defense to any action by any Senior Lien Secured Party or Junior Lien Secured Party, nor
to assert such violation as a counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any Senior Lien Secured Party or Junior Lien
Secured Party.
Section 3.6 Payments
Over. So long as the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations has not occurred, any Collateral
or Proceeds thereof or payment with respect thereto received by any Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Secured Parties in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set off) relating to the Collateral or otherwise, or in connection
with any insurance policy claim or any condemnation award (or deed in lieu of condemnation), other than Reorganization Securities,
in contravention of this Agreement or otherwise in a manner which is not consistent with the Lien Priority shall be segregated and
held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Designated Senior Lien Agent for the benefit of the Senior Lien Secured Parties in the
same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Until the
Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations occurs, each Junior Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured
Party, hereby appoints the Senior Lien Agent, and any officer or duly authorized person of the Designated Senior Lien Agent, with
full power of substitution, as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead
of each Junior Lien Secured Party in the name of such Designated Junior Lien Agent or in the Designated Senior Lien Agent’s
own name, from time to time, in the Designated Senior Lien Agent’s sole discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of this Section 3.6 and taking any and all appropriate action and executing and delivering any and all documents
and instruments that the Designated Senior Lien Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section
3.6 (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
Section 4.1 Application
of Proceeds.
(a) Nature of
Certain Senior Lien Obligations. Each Junior Lien Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Secured Parties, expressly
acknowledges and agrees that (i) any Senior Lien Credit Agreement may include a revolving commitment, that the applicable Senior Lien
Agent and the other applicable Senior Lien Lenders will apply payments and make advances thereunder; and that no application of any Collateral
or the release of any Lien by any Senior Lien Agent upon any portion of the Collateral in connection with a permitted disposition by the
Senior Lien Credit Parties under any Senior Lien Credit Agreement shall constitute the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies under this
Agreement; (ii) the amount of the Senior Lien Obligations that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or
reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the Senior Lien Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from time
to time to the extent permitted hereunder, and that the aggregate amount of the Senior Lien Obligations may be increased or refinanced
to the extent permitted hereunder, in each event, without notice to or consent by the Junior Lien Secured Parties and without affecting
the provisions hereof; and (iii) all Collateral received by any Senior Lien Agent may be applied, reversed, reapplied, credited or reborrowed,
in whole or in part, to the Senior Lien Obligations at any time; provided, however, that from and after the date on which any Senior
Lien Agent (or any Senior Lien Secured Party) commences the Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies, all amounts received by any Senior
Lien Agent or any Senior Lien Lender shall be applied as specified in this Section 4.1. The Lien Priority shall not be altered
or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, renewal, restatement
or refinancing of the Senior Lien Obligations or any portion thereof.
(b) Application
of Proceeds of Collateral. Each Senior Lien Agent and Junior Lien Agent hereby agree that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Lien
Obligations has not occurred, all Collateral and all Proceeds thereof received by the Senior Lien Agents (or any other Senior Lien Secured
Party) or the Junior Lien Agents (or any other Junior Lien Secured Party) in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies
shall be applied, first, to the payment of reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Senior Lien Agents
in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies, and second, to the payment of the Senior Lien Obligations in accordance
with the Senior Lien Documents until the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations has occurred. All Collateral and all Proceeds received by
any Senior Lien Agent after the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations has occurred shall be forthwith paid over, in kind or funds and currency
received, to the Designated Junior Lien Agent for application to the payment of the Junior Lien Obligations in accordance with the Junior
Lien Documents.
(c) Limited Obligation
or Liability. In exercising remedies, whether as a secured creditor or otherwise, the Senior Lien Agents shall have no obligation
or liability to the Junior Lien Agents or to any Junior Lien Secured Party regarding the adequacy of any Proceeds or for any action or
omission, except solely for an action or omission that breaches the express obligations undertaken by the Senior Lien Agents under the
terms of this Agreement.
G-19
(d) Turnover
of Collateral After Discharge. Upon the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations, the Designated Senior Lien Agent shall deliver to the
Designated Junior Lien Agent or shall execute such documents as the Designated Junior Lien Agent may reasonably request to enable the
Designated Junior Lien Agent to have control over any Control Collateral still in any Designated Senior Lien Agent’s possession,
custody or control in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise
direct.
Section 4.2 Specific
Performance. Each Senior Lien Agent and Junior Lien Agent is hereby authorized to demand specific
performance of this Agreement, whether or not the Borrowers or any Guarantor shall have complied with any of the provisions of any of
the Credit Documents, at any time when the other Party shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement applicable
to it. Each of the Senior Lien Agents, for and on behalf of itself and the Senior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, and each Junior
Lien Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, hereby irrevocably waives any defense
based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.
Section 4.3 Certain
Agreements with Respect to Unenforceable Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if in any Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding a determination is made that any Lien encumbering any Collateral is not enforceable
for any reason, then the Junior Lien Agents and the other Junior Lien Secured Parties agree that any distribution or recovery they may
receive with respect to, or allocable to, the value of the assets intended to constitute such Collateral or any proceeds thereof (other
than Reorganization Securities) shall (for so long as the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations has not occurred) be segregated and held
in trust and forthwith paid over to the Designated Senior Lien Agent for the benefit of the Senior Lien Secured Parties in the same form
as received without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation of the Junior Lien Agent that it has not otherwise
sold, assigned, transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such distribution or recovery) but with any necessary endorsements
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct until such time as the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations has occurred.
Until the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations occurs, each Junior Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured
Party represented by it, hereby appoints the Designated Senior Lien Agent, and any officer or agent of the Designated Senior Lien Agent,
with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Junior Lien Secured Party for the limited purpose of carrying out the provisions
of this Section 4.3 and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Designated Senior Lien Agent may deem necessary
or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.3, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

of acceptance, or proof of reliance, by the Senior Lien Agents or any Senior Lien Secured Party of this Agreement, and notice of the existence,

Senior Lien Agents, any Senior Lien Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or agents shall
be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or any Proceeds, or for any delay in doing so, or shall
be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds thereof or to take any other action whatsoever with
regard to the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. If any Senior Lien Agent
or any Senior Lien Secured Party honors (or fails to honor) a request by the Borrowers for an extension of credit pursuant to any Senior
Lien Credit Agreement or any of the other Senior Lien Documents, whether such Senior Lien Agent or Senior Lien Secured Party has knowledge
that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms of any Junior Lien Credit Agreement
or any other Junior Lien Document or an act, condition or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would
constitute such a default, or if such Senior Lien Agent or Senior Lien Secured Party otherwise should exercise any of its contractual
rights or remedies under any Senior Lien Documents (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), neither the Senior Lien Agents
nor any Senior Lien Secured Party shall have any liability whatsoever to any Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Secured Party as a result
of such action, omission or exercise (so long as any such exercise does not breach the express terms and provisions of this Agreement).
The Senior Lien Agents and the other Senior Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to manage and supervise their loans and extensions
of credit under any Senior Lien Credit Agreement and any of the other Senior Lien Documents as they may, in their sole discretion, deem
appropriate, and may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Junior Lien Agents
or any of the Junior Lien Secured Parties have in the Collateral, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Each Junior
Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, agrees that neither the Senior Lien Agents nor
any Senior Lien Secured Party shall incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, application or other disposition of all
or any portion of the Collateral or Proceeds thereof, pursuant to the Senior Lien Documents, so long as such disposition is conducted
in accordance with mandatory provisions of applicable law and does not breach the provisions of this Agreement.

has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms of any Senior Lien
Credit Agreement or any other Senior Lien Document or an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time,
or both, would constitute such a default, or if such Junior Lien Agent or Junior Lien Secured Party otherwise should exercise any of its
contractual rights or remedies under the Junior Lien Documents (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), neither the Junior
Lien Agents nor any Junior Lien Secured Party shall have any liability whatsoever to the Senior Lien Agents or any Senior Lien Secured
Party as a result of such action, omission or exercise (so long as any such exercise does not breach the express terms and provisions
of this Agreement). Each Junior Lien Agent and the other Junior Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to manage and supervise their loans
and extensions of credit under the Junior Lien Documents as they may, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and may manage their
loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Senior Lien Agents or any Senior Lien Secured Party
has in the Collateral, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

provisions of this Section 5.2), and without incurring any liability to the Junior Lien Agents or any Junior Lien Secured Party
or impairing or releasing the subordination provided for herein, amend, restate, supplement, refinance, extend, consolidate, restructure

Lenders (or other required percentage of lenders defined by reference to any similar term) (as defined in any Junior Lien Credit Agreement),
no such amendment, restatement, supplement, refinancing, extension, consolidation, restructuring or other modification (or successive
amendments, restatements, supplements, refinancings, extensions, consolidations, restructurings or other modifications) shall contravene
any provision of this Agreement.

notice to the Senior Lien Agents or any Senior Lien Secured Party (except to the extent such consent is required pursuant to the express
provisions of this Section 5.2), and without incurring any liability to the Senior Lien Agents or any Senior Lien Secured Party
or impairing or releasing the subordination provided for herein, amend, restate, supplement, refinance, extend, consolidate, restructure

shall (i) contravene the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) increase the all-in interest rate (including original issue discount and interest
rate floors, but excluding fluctuations in the underlying rate indices, customary non-recurrent market-based fees (including any customary
and market amendment, consent or waiver fees, and underwriting or arrangement fees) and the imposition of a default rate of 2.00% per
annum) applicable to the Junior Lien Obligations by more than 3.00% per annum above the rates as are in effect on the date hereof, (iii)
change to earlier dates any scheduled dates for payment of principal or of interest on Indebtedness under the Junior Lien Documents, (iv) change
any negative covenant, default or event of default provisions set forth in the Junior Lien Documents to be more restrictive than the negative

redemption or prepayment provisions set forth in the Junior Lien Documents in a manner that would require the applicable Junior Lien Obligations
to be mandatorily redeemed or prepaid prior to the date(s), if any, set forth in the applicable Junior Lien Document as in effect as of
the date hereof (and, if there are no such dates, prior to the final maturity date with respect to the Junior Lien Obligations set forth
therein), other than (w) upon the occurrence of an asset sale or other disposition or casualty event (subject to (1) reinvestment rights
that are in the aggregate no less favorable to the Borrowers than those under the Junior Lien Documents as in effect on the date hereof
and (2) the application of the net cash proceeds thereof to the prior prepayment of, or offer to prepay, any applicable Senior Lien Obligations
then outstanding), (x) upon the occurrence of a change of control event, (y) customary acceleration rights following an event of default
(subject to the limitations in clause (iv) of this paragraph) and (z) upon the incurrence of Indebtedness that is not permitted thereunder
(subject to the application of the net cash proceeds thereof to the prior prepayment of, or offer to prepay, any applicable Senior Lien
Obligations then outstanding) or (vi) add to the Collateral (or similar term as defined in the Junior Lien Documents) other than as specifically
provided by this Agreement.
(c) Subject to the
express limitations set forth in Sections 5.2(a) and 5.2(b), the Senior Lien Obligations and the Junior Lien Obligations
may be refinanced, in whole or in part, from time to time, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent
is required to permit such refinancing transaction under any Senior Lien Document or any Junior Lien Document) of the Senior Lien Agents,
the Senior Lien Secured Parties, the Junior Lien Agents or the other Junior Lien Secured Parties, as the case may be, all without affecting
the Lien Priority provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that the holders of any class or
series of such refinancing Indebtedness (or an authorized agent or trustee on their behalf) bind themselves in writing to the terms of
this Agreement pursuant to such documents or agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Designated Senior
Lien Agent or the Designated Junior Lien Agent, as the case may be, shall reasonably request and in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to the Designated Senior Lien Agent or the Designated Junior Lien Agent, as the case may be, and any such refinancing transaction shall
be in accordance with any applicable provisions of both the Senior Lien Documents and the Junior Lien Documents (to the extent such documents
survive the refinancing).

(d) In the event
that any Senior Lien Agent or the other Senior Lien Secured Parties and the relevant Credit Party enter into any amendment, modification,
waiver or consent in respect of any of the Senior Lien Collateral Documents (other than this Agreement), then such amendment, modification,
waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provisions of the applicable Comparable Junior Lien Collateral Document,
in each case, without the consent of any Junior Lien Secured Party and without any action by the Junior Lien Agents, the Borrowers or
any other Credit Party; provided that (i) no such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (A) remove assets subject to
the Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations or release any such Liens, except to the extent that such release is permitted or required
by Section 2.4(b) hereof and provided that there is a concurrent release of the corresponding Liens securing the Senior Lien Obligations,

not affect the validity of such amendment, modification or waiver).
(e) Each of the
Borrowers and the Junior Lien Agents agrees that any Junior Lien Credit Agreement and each Junior Lien Collateral Document shall contain
the applicable provisions set forth on Annex I hereto, or similar provisions approved by the Designated Senior Lien Agent, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each of the Borrowers and the Junior Lien Agents further agrees that each Junior
Lien Collateral Document covering any Collateral that is comprised of Real Property shall contain such other language as the Designated
Senior Lien Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such Junior Lien Collateral Document to the Senior Lien Collateral
Document covering such Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 5.3 Effect
of Refinancing of Indebtedness under Senior Lien Documents. If the Borrowers
refinances, in whole or in part, any Indebtedness outstanding under any of the Senior Lien Documents and provided that (a) such
refinancing is permitted hereby and (b) the Borrowers give to the Designated Junior Lien Agent written notice electing the
application of the provisions of this Section 5.3 to such refinancing Indebtedness, then (i) the Discharge of Senior Lien
Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, (ii) such refinancing Indebtedness and all other obligations under the loan documents evidencing such Indebtedness
(the “New Senior Lien Obligations”) shall automatically be treated as Senior Lien Obligations for all purposes of
this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien Priority and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, (iii) the credit
agreement, indenture or other agreement and the security documents and the other related financing documents evidencing such
refinancing Indebtedness (the “New Senior Lien Loan Documents”) shall automatically be treated as a Senior Lien
Credit Agreement and the Senior Lien Documents and, in the case of New Senior Lien Loan Documents that are security documents, as
Senior Lien Collateral Documents for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the collateral agent under the New Senior Lien Loan
Documents (the “New Senior Lien Agent”) shall be deemed to be a Senior Lien Agent for all purposes of this
Agreement and (v) the lenders under the New Senior Lien Loan Documents shall be deemed to be Senior Lien Secured Parties for all
purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of the New Senior Lien Loan Documents, the Junior Lien Agents shall promptly enter into
such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as are reasonably necessary to provide to the
New Senior Lien Agent the rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the
terms of this Agreement. The Borrowers shall cause the agreement, document or instrument pursuant to which the New Senior Lien Agent
is appointed to provide that the New Senior Lien Agent agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. In furtherance of Section
2.5 hereof (but subject to Section 2.1(d)), if the New Senior Lien Obligations are secured by assets of the Credit Parties that
do not also secure the Junior Lien Obligations, the applicable Credit Parties shall promptly grant a valid and perfected Lien on
such assets to secure the Junior Lien Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority).

Section 5.4 Reinstatement
and Continuation of Agreement. If any Senior Lien Agent or any Senior Lien Secured Party is required in any Insolvency
Proceeding or other applicable proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Borrowers, any Guarantor
or any other Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of the Senior Lien Obligations (a “Senior Lien
Recovery”), then the Senior Lien Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Senior Lien Recovery. If this
Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Senior Lien Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect
in the event of such Senior Lien Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise
affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the
Senior Lien Agents, the Junior Lien Agents, the Senior Lien Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Secured Parties under this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation,
conversion or dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or against either or the Borrowers or any Guarantor or any other
circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, either or the Borrowers or any Guarantor in
respect of the Senior Lien Obligations or the Junior Lien Obligations. No priority or right of the Senior Lien Agents or any Senior
Lien Secured Party shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of either or the
Borrowers or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions or covenants of any of the Senior Lien
Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Senior Lien Agents or any Senior Lien Secured Party may have.

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS
Section 6.1 DIP
Financing.
(a) If the Borrowers
or any Guarantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations, and the
Designated Senior Lien Agent or the other Senior Lien Secured Parties represented by it shall seek to provide the Borrowers or any Guarantor
with, or consent to a third party providing, any financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or consent to any order for the use
of cash collateral constituting Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief
Laws (each, a “DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral (including
assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws,
including section 50.6 of the BIA), would be Collateral), then each Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Secured
Parties, agrees that it will (a) raise no objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral
or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the Junior
Lien Agents securing the Junior Lien Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result
of such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral that is Collateral except as permitted by Section 6.3(b)(i) hereof), and (b) to
the extent the Liens securing the Senior Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, each Junior Lien
Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing so long as (i) such Junior Lien Agent retains
its Lien on the Collateral to secure the Junior Lien Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement
of the case under any Debtor Relief Laws) and (ii) all Liens on Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a
parity with the Liens of the Senior Lien Agents and the other Senior Lien Secured Parties securing the Senior Lien Obligations on Collateral.

(b) All Liens granted
to any Senior Lien Agent or Junior Lien Agent in any Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended
by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 6.2 Relief
From Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations has occurred, each Junior Lien
Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, agrees not to seek relief from or modification of the
automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the Collateral, any Proceeds thereof or any
Lien in respect of the Junior Lien Obligations, in each case without the Designated Senior Lien Agent’s express prior written consent.
Section
6.3 No Contest; Adequate Protection.
(a) Each Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Secured Parties
represented by it, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations, none of them shall seek or accept any form of
adequate protection under any or all of Section 361, 362, 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Collateral, except
as set forth in this Section 6.3 or as may otherwise be consented to in writing by the Designated Senior Lien Agent in its
sole and absolute discretion. Each Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it,
agrees that, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting)
(i) any request by any Senior Lien Agent or any Senior Lien Secured Party for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral,
(ii) any proposed provision of DIP Financing by any Senior Lien Agent or the other Senior Lien Secured Parties (or any other Person
proposing to provide DIP Financing with the consent of the Designated Senior Lien Agent) (unless in contravention of Section
6.1(a) hereof) or (iii) any objection by any Senior Lien Agent or any Senior Lien Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or
proceeding based on a claim by any Senior Lien Agent or any Senior Lien Secured Party that its interests in the Collateral are not
adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens
granted to the Senior Lien Agents as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency Proceeding:
(i) if the Senior
Lien Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with respect to the Collateral in the form of additional
collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type that would otherwise have constituted Collateral), then each Senior Lien Agent, on
behalf of itself and the Senior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, agrees that the Junior Lien Agents, on behalf of itself or any
of the Junior Lien Secured Parties, may seek or request adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form
of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Lien Obligations on the
same basis as the Liens of the Junior Lien Agents on the Collateral; and
(ii) in the event
any Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Junior Lien Secured Parties, is granted adequate protection in respect of the
Collateral in the form of additional collateral, then any Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the Junior Lien Secured Parties
represented by it, agrees that the Senior Lien Agents, on behalf of itself or any of the Senior Lien Secured Parties, shall be granted
adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien
will be senior to the Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations on the same basis as the Liens of the Senior Lien Agents on the Collateral.

(c) Except as otherwise
expressly set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Senior Lien Agents or the other Senior
Lien Secured Parties from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding (including
adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise).
(d) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the applicable provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.3(a) shall only be binding on the Junior Lien Secured Parties with respect
to any DIP Financing to the extent the aggregate principal amount of such DIP Financing does not exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate principal
amount of the pre-petition Senior Lien Obligations (plus, without duplication, the amount of any unused commitments and the face amount
of any outstanding letters of credit under any Senior Lien Credit Agreement immediately prior to the commencement of the applicable Insolvency
Proceeding), and (ii) 20.0% of the amounts set forth in clauses (i).
Section 6.4 Asset
Sales. Each Junior Lien Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Secured Parties, that it will not oppose any sale
consented to by the Senior Lien Agents of any Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision
under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding or under a court order in respect of measures granted with similar effect
under any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) so long as the Junior Lien Agents, for the benefit of the Junior Lien Secured Parties, shall
retain a Lien on the proceeds of such sale (to the extent such proceeds are not applied to the Senior Lien Obligations in accordance
with Section 4.1(b) hereof).
Section 6.5 Post-Petition
Interest.
(a) Each Junior
Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, agrees that no Junior Lien Secured Party
shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Senior Lien Agent or any other Senior Lien Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency
Proceeding of Senior Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Liens securing
the Senior Lien Obligations (it being understood and agreed that such value shall be determined without regard to the existence of the
Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations on the Collateral).
(b) Each Senior
Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Senior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, agrees that no Senior Lien Secured Party
shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Junior Lien Agent or any other Junior Lien Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency
Proceeding of Junior Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Liens securing
the Junior Lien Obligations (it being understood and agreed that such value shall be determined taking into account the Liens securing
the Senior Lien Obligations on the Collateral).
Section 6.6 Certain
Waivers by the Junior Lien Secured Parties. Each Junior Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured
Parties represented by it, waives any claim any Junior Lien Secured Party may hereafter have against any Senior Lien Secured Party
arising out of (a) the election by any Senior Lien Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, or
any comparable provision of any other Debtor Relief Law, or (b) any use of cash collateral or financing arrangement, or any grant of
a security interest in the Collateral, in any Insolvency Proceeding.
G-27
Section 6.7 Separate
Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Senior Lien Secured Party and each Junior Lien Secured Party acknowledges
and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Lien Collateral Documents and the Junior Lien Collateral Documents
constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the
Collateral, the Senior Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the Junior Lien Obligations and must be separately
classified in any plan of reorganization (or other plan of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws) proposed or adopted in an
Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is
held that the claims of the Senior Lien Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute
only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Senior Lien Secured Parties and
the Junior Lien Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes
of Senior Lien Obligation claims and Junior Lien Obligation claims against the Credit Parties, with the effect being that, to the
extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Lien
Secured Parties), the Senior Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in
respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees and
expenses that is available from the Collateral for Senior Lien Secured Parties before any distribution is made in respect of the
claims held by the Junior Lien Secured Parties from such Collateral, with the Junior Lien Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and
agreeing to turn over to the Senior Lien Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to
effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.
Section 6.8 Enforceability. The
provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and all other
applicable Debtor Relief Laws.
Section 6.9 Reorganization
Securities. If, in any Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized
debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar
dispositive restructuring plan (the “Reorganization Securities”) on account of both the Senior Lien Obligations
and the Junior Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Lien Obligations and
on account of the Junior Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement
will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing
such debt obligations.
Section 6.10 Senior
Lien Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the Senior Lien Agents hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Junior
Lien Agents and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
(a) any lack of
validity or enforceability of any Senior Lien Document;
(b) any change in
the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Senior Lien Obligations (it being specifically
acknowledged that a portion of the Senior Lien Obligations may consist of Indebtedness that is revolving in nature, and the amount thereof
that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed), or, subject to Sections
5.2(a) and 5.2(c) hereof, any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing,
refunding or restatement of any Senior Lien Document;

release, voiding, avoidance or non-perfection of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or, subject to Sections

or any refinancing, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the Senior Lien Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty
thereof; or
(d) any other circumstances
that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the Senior Lien Obligations,
or of any of the Junior Lien Agents or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement.
Section 6.11 Junior
Lien Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the Junior Lien Agents hereunder, and
all agreements and obligations of the Senior Lien Agents and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain
in full force and effect irrespective of:
(a) any lack of
validity or enforceability of any Junior Lien Document;
(b) any change in
the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Junior Lien Obligations, or, subject to Sections
5.2(b) and 5.2(c) hereof, any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing,
refunding or restatement of any Junior Lien Document;
(c) any exchange,
release, voiding, avoidance or non-perfection of any security interest in any Collateral, or any other collateral, or, subject to Sections
5.2(b) and 5.2(c) hereof, any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise,
or any refinancing, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the Junior Lien Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty
thereof; or
(d) any other circumstances
that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the Junior Lien Obligations,
or of any of the Senior Lien Agents or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement.

Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of Senior Lien Obligations, each Senior Lien Agent
agrees to execute such documents, agreements and instruments as the Junior Lien Agents or any Junior Lien Secured Party may
reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Senior Lien Obligations
resulting from payments to the Senior Lien Agents by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal

Section 7.2 Further
Assurances. The Parties will, at the sole expense of the Credit Parties and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute

Party may reasonably request, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the
Senior Lien Agents or the Junior Lien Agents to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder; provided, however,
that no Party shall be required to pay over any payment or distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other
action referred to in this Section 7.2, to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or other legal
requirement or any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and in the event of a controversy or dispute, such Party may
interplead any payment or distribution in any court of competent jurisdiction, without further responsibility in respect of such
payment or distribution under this Section 7.2.

Lien Credit Agreement and the requisite Junior Lien Lenders as required under any Junior Lien Credit Agreement, respectively) and,
in the case of any amendment or waiver that could reasonably be expected to be adverse to the interests, rights, liabilities or
privileges of any Credit Party or imposes additional duties or obligations on any Credit Party, the Borrowers, and then such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. It is understood that the
Designated Senior Lien Agent and the Designated Junior Lien Agent, without the consent of any other Senior Lien Secured Party or
Junior Lien Secured Party, may in their discretion determine that a supplemental agreement (which may take the form of an amendment
and restatement of this Agreement) is necessary or appropriate to facilitate having additional Indebtedness or other obligations of
any of the Credit Parties become Senior Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations, as the case may be, under this Agreement (such
Indebtedness or other obligations, “Additional Debt”), which supplemental agreement shall, if applicable, specify
whether such Additional Debt constitutes Senior Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations; provided that such Additional
Debt is permitted to be incurred under each Senior Lien Credit Agreement and each Junior Lien Credit Agreement then extant in
accordance with the terms thereof. Each such supplemental agreement (x) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Designated Senior Lien Agent and the Designated Junior Lien Agent, (y) shall be executed by the Senior Representative with
respect to the applicable series of Additional Debt (and, upon the effectiveness of such supplemental agreement, such Senior
Representative shall become an “Agent” hereunder) and (z) shall provide, in a manner satisfactory to the Designated
Senior Lien Agent and the Designated Junior Lien Agent, that the Senior Representative with respect to applicable series of
Additional Debt and each holder of such series of Additional Debt shall be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement,
as so supplemented, in its capacity as a holder of such series of Additional Debt.

party hereto and agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (including Section 2.5) and represent and warrant that such

PURCHASE OF SENIOR LIEN OBLIGATIONS
BY JUNIOR LIEN SECURED PARTIES
Section 8.1 Purchase
Right. If there is an acceleration of the Senior Lien Obligations in accordance with any
Senior Lien Credit Agreement (a “Purchase Event”), then the Junior Lien Secured Parties (on a pro rata basis
based on their outstanding Junior Lien Obligations, unless otherwise agreed among such Junior Lien Secured Parties) may purchase, by
submitting a notice (a “Purchase Notice”) within 15 Business Days of any such Purchase Event, all, but not less
than all, of the Senior Lien Obligations (the “Purchase Obligations”) for the Purchase Price. Such purchase
shall:
(a) include all principal
of, and all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, indemnities, costs and expenses in respect of, all Purchase Obligations outstanding at
the time of purchase;
(b) include the furnishing
of cash collateral to any Senior Lien Agent in a manner and in such amount as such Senior Lien Agent determines is reasonably necessary
to secured the letter of credit issuing banks in connection with any issued and outstanding letters of credit;
(c) be made pursuant
to an assignment agreement in the form of Exhibit E-1 to any Senior Lien Credit Agreement; and
(d) otherwise be subject
to the terms and conditions of this Article 8.
Each Senior Lien
Lender will retain all rights to indemnification provided in the relevant Senior Lien Documents for all claims and other amounts relating
to periods prior to the purchase of the Purchase Obligations pursuant to this Article 8 and such rights shall be secured by the
Liens securing the Senior Lien Obligations.

(c) states that each
Purchasing Creditor is irrevocably (subject to a Purchase Rejection) electing to purchase, in accordance with this Article 8, the
percentage of all of the Purchase Obligations stated in the Purchase Notice for that Purchasing Creditor, which percentages must aggregate
exactly 100% for all Purchasing Creditors;
(d) represents and
warrants that the Purchase Notice is in conformity with the Junior Lien Documents and any other binding agreement among Junior Lien Secured
Parties; and
(e) designates a date
on which the purchase will occur (the “Purchase Date”), that is (x) at least five but not more than ten Business Days

and sale of the Purchase Obligations under this Article 8 will be without recourse and without any representation or warranty whatsoever

before giving effect to the purchase, the Senior Lien Secured Parties own the Purchase Obligations free and clear of all Liens (other

adjusted so that the Purchasing Creditors do not pay amounts represented by participation interest) and have the right to convey whatever
claims and interests they may have in respect of the Purchase Obligations.

of Senior Lien Secured Parties to sell their respective Purchase Obligations under this Article 8 are several and not joint. If

for resale to the holders of the Junior Lien Obligations. A Senior Lien Secured Party that complies with this Article 8 will not
be in default of this Agreement or otherwise be deemed liable for any action or inaction of any Defaulting Creditor; provided that
nothing in this paragraph will affect the Purchasing Creditors’ obligation to purchase all of the Purchase Obligations. Each Credit
Party irrevocably consents to any assignment effected to one or more Purchasing Creditors pursuant to this Article 8.

Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower(s) of a notice (which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) setting forth

is being given, shall be computed on a pro forma basis as if the rates that would have been in effect during the period for which

Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into Parent or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of Relevant Reference Period shall have made any Pro Forma Transaction that would have
required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.5, then the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, Total Net Leverage Ratio and Total Leverage

the date of calculation.

pro forma effect is to be given to a Pro Forma Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer of Parent and shall include, without duplication, adjustment for the Consolidated EBITDA (as determined in good faith

financial ratios required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement shall be calculated by
dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which
such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest
number).
80
1.8 Currency Equivalents
Generally.
(a) For
purposes of determining compliance with Sections 6.2, 6.3 and 6.7 with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment
in a currency other than US Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange
occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred, made or acquired (so long as such Indebtedness or Investment, at
the time incurred, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder).
(b) For
purposes of determining the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio, the Total Net Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge
Coverage Ratio, amounts denominated in a currency other than US Dollars will be converted to US Dollars at the currency exchange rates
used in preparing Parent’s financial statements corresponding to the Test Period with respect to the applicable date of determination
and will, in the case of Indebtedness, reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedge Agreements
permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the
US Dollar Equivalent of such Indebtedness.
1.9 Exchange Rates;
Currency Equivalents.
(a) The
Revolver Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall determine the Spot Rates as of each Revaluation Date
to be used for calculating US Dollar Equivalent amounts of Borrowings and Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies. Such
Spot Rates shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Spot Rates employed in converting any amounts between the
applicable currencies until the next Revaluation Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by Loan Parties
hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any currency (other
than US Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents shall be such US Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Revolver Administrative
Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable.
(b) Wherever
in this Agreement in connection with a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan or the issuance, amendment
or extension of a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in US Dollars, but such Borrowing,
Eurodollar Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated in an Alternative Currency, such amount shall be the relevant Alternative Currency
Equivalent of such US Dollar amount (rounded to the nearest unit of such Alternative Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward),
as determined by the Revolver Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be.
81
1.10 Additional Alternative
Currencies.
(a) The
Borrowers may from time to time request that Eurodollar Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued in a currency other than those
specifically listed in the definition of “Alternative Currency;” provided that such requested currency is a
lawful currency (other than US Dollars) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into US Dollars. In the case
of any such request with respect to the making of Eurodollar Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Revolver Administrative
Agent and all Revolving Credit Lenders; and in the case of any such request with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request
shall be subject to the approval of the Revolver Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank.
(b) Any
such request shall be made to the Revolver Administrative Agent not later than 8:00 a.m., ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of
the desired Borrowing or Letter of Credit issuance (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Revolver Administrative Agent and,
in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank, in its or their sole discretion). In the
case of any such request pertaining to Eurodollar Loans, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit
Lender thereof; and in the case of any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Issuing Banks thereof. Each Revolving Credit Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Eurodollar Loans) or the
Issuing Banks (in the case of a request pertaining to Letters of Credit) shall notify the Revolver Administrative Agent, not later than
8:00 a.m., five (5) Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Eurodollar
Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit, as the case may be, in such requested currency.
(c) Any
failure by a Revolving Credit Lender or an Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified
in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to permit Eurodollar
Loans to be made or to issue Letters of Credit in such requested currency. If the Revolver Administrative Agent and all the Revolving
Credit Lenders consent to making Eurodollar Loans in such requested currency, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall so notify the Revolver
Borrowers and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Revolver
Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans; and if the Revolver Administrative Agent and an Issuing Bank consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit
in such requested currency, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall so notify the Revolver Borrowers and such currency shall thereupon
be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances by such Issuing Bank.
If the Revolver Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 1.10,
the Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Revolver Borrowers.
(d) If,
after the designation by the Revolving Credit Lenders of any currency as an Alternative Currency, any change in currency controls or exchange
regulations or any change in the national or international financial, political or economic conditions are imposed in the country in which
such currency is issued, result in, in the reasonable opinion of the Required Revolving Lenders (in the case of any Revolving Credit Loans
to be denominated in an Alternative Currency) or any Issuing Bank (in the case of any Letter of Credit to be denominated in an Alternative
Currency), (i) such currency no longer being readily available, freely transferable and convertible into US Dollars, (ii) a US Dollar
Equivalent is no longer readily calculable with respect to such currency, (iii) providing such currency is impracticable for the Revolving
Credit Lenders or (iv) no longer a currency in which the Required Revolving Lenders are willing to make such extensions of credit hereunder
(each of (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) a “Disqualifying Event”), then the Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Revolver Borrowers, and such country’s currency shall no longer be an Alternative Currency
until such time as the Disqualifying Event(s) no longer exist. Within, five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice from the Revolver
Administrative Agent, the Revolver Borrowers shall repay all Revolving Credit Loans in such currency to which the Disqualifying Event
applies or convert such Revolving Credit Loans into the US Dollar Equivalent of Revolving Credit Loans in US Dollars, subject to the other
terms contained herein.
82
1.11 Change of
Currency.
(a) Each
obligation of the Borrowers to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the European Union that
adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the Closing Date shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance
with the EMU Legislation). If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this
Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis
of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from
the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Borrowing in the currency of such
member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Borrowing, at the
end of the then current Interest Period.
(b) Each
provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agents may from time to
time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions
or practices relating to the Euro.
(c) Each
provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agents may from time
to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions or practices
relating to the change in currency.
1.12 Cashless Rolls.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, any Lender may exchange,
continue or roll over all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar
transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the
applicable Agent and such Lender. Each Cashless Term B Lender agrees that upon the Eighth
Amendment Effective Date, all (or such lesser amount as
1.13
Divisions. For all purposes under the Term Loan B
Agent may allocate to such Lender) of its Existing Term B LoansDocuments,
in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s
laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different
Person, then it shall be converteddeemed
to 2024 Refinancing Term B Loans, and the outstanding principal amount of such converted Term
Loanshave been transferred from the original Person
to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed repaid
in fullto have been organized on the
Eighth Amendment Effective Date. Any reference in this Agreement to funding of 2024 Refinancing
Term B Loans or repayment of Existing Term B Loans with proceeds of 2024 Refinancing Term B Loans shall be deemed to have occurred with
respect to any such Existing Term B Loans in accordance with the “cashless roll” described in the previous sentencefirst
date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

(i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment or (ii) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding the total Revolving Credit Commitments. Within the foregoing limits
and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Revolver Borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Credit
Loans during the Availability Period. Revolving Credit Loans may be ABR Loans, SOFR Loans or Eurodollar Loans, as further provided

affect the obligation of the applicable Lender to make such Loan and the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.
85
(c) At
the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing or any SOFR Loan, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount
that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall
be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000; provided that a Revolving Credit

of such request by email (a) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time,
three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing (other than Eurodollar Borrowings to be incurred on the Closing Date
which notice may be given one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date) (b) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing denominated in an
Alternative Currency, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, four (4) Business Days (or five (5) Business Days in the case of
a Special Notice Currency) before the date of the proposed Borrowing (other than Eurodollar Borrowings to be incurred on the Closing
Date which notice may be given one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date) or (c) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than
12:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such email Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall
be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission as agreed to by the Revolver Administrative Agent,
to the Revolver Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Revolver Administrative Agent and signed
by the Revolver Borrowers. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.5:
(i) the
aggregate amount and currency of the requested Borrowing;
(ii) the
date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
86
(iii) in
the case of a Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing;
(iv) in
the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period
contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and
(v) the
location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.8.

of Revolving Credit Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be (A) in the case of a Borrowing denominated
in US Dollars, an ABR Borrowing or (B) in the case of a Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, a Eurodollar Borrowing. If no
Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing or SOFR Revolving Credit Borrowing, then
the Revolver Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. If no currency is specified
with respect to any Borrowing, then the applicable Revolver Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing in US Dollars. If
a Borrowing Request fails to specify the identity of the applicable Revolver Borrower, then the Loans so requested shall be made to the
Revolver Borrower submitting such Borrowing Request; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to identify the applicable
Borrower in the case of a request for a continuation of Revolving Credit Loans, such Loans shall be continued as Loans made to the Borrower
to which such Loans were initially made. No Revolving Credit Loan may be converted into or continued as a Loan denominated in a different
currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Loan and reborrowed in the other currency. Promptly following receipt
of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall advise each Revolving Credit Lender of
the relevant Facility or Facilities of the details thereof and of the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Loan to be made as
part of the requested Revolving Credit Borrowing.
2.7 Letter of
Credit. (a) General.
(i) Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Bank, in reliance on the agreements of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth
in Section 2.7(d), agrees to issue trade and standby Letters of Credit (which must be denominated in US Dollars or an Alternative
Currency) for the account of any Revolver Borrower or the account of any Revolver Borrower for the benefit of any Restricted Subsidiary,
in each case on any Business Day during the applicable Availability Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing
Bank; provided, that no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A) after
giving effect to such issuance (i) the LC Exposure with respect to Letters of Credit would exceed the LC Sublimit, (ii) the Total Revolving
Credit Exposure would exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) the LC Exposure of such Issuing Bank would exceed the LC Percentage
of such Issuing Bank or (iv) solely to the extent of the Issuing Banks on the Closing Date, the amount of the LC Exposure attributable
to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Banks would exceed their Applicable Percentage on the Closing Date;
87
(B) any
order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank
from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any directive (whether or not having the force of law)
from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or direct that such Issuing Bank refrain from,
the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect
to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder)
not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable
on the Closing Date (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder);
(C) the
expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit
Maturity Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date; or
(D) the
issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any policies of the applicable Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.
(ii) An
Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time
to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept
the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
Additionally, no Issuing Bank shall be under any
obligation to issue or renew any Letter of Credit if the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than US Dollars or
an Alternative Currency. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, any Revolver Borrower may request the issuance of Letters
of Credit for its own account or for its own account for the benefit of any Restricted Subsidiary, in a form reasonably acceptable to
the Revolver Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period (but
not later than the date that is 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted
by the applicable Revolver Borrower to, or entered into by such Revolver Borrower with, the applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter
of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
(b) Notice
of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal
or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the applicable Revolver Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic
communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Bank) to the applicable Issuing Bank and the
Revolver Administrative Agent (at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank
and the Revolver Administrative Agent) in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting
the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which
shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the currency in which such Letter of Credit
is to be denominated, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend,
renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by an Issuing Bank, the applicable Revolver Borrower also shall submit a letter of
credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit
shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the
applicable Revolver Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension, (x) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Sublimit and (y) the Total Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the total
Revolving Credit Commitments.
88
(c) Expiration
Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one (1) year
after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, the date that is one (1) year
after the date of such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity
Date (unless other provisions or arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank and Revolver Administrative Agent
shall have been made with respect to such Letter of Credit, but which shall include the release by the relevant Issuing Bank of each applicable
Revolving Credit Lender from its participation obligations hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit). If the applicable Revolver
Borrower so requests in any notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue a Letter of
Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that the applicable
Revolver Borrower shall be required to make a specific request to the applicable Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto Renewal
Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized the renewal of such Letter
of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the earlier of (i) the date that is one (1) year from the date of such renewal
and (ii) the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (unless other provisions or arrangements
reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank shall have been made with respect to such Letter of Credit, and shall include the
release by the relevant Issuing Bank and the Revolver Administrative Agent of each applicable Revolving Credit Lender from its participation
obligations hereunder with respect to such Letter of Credit); provided that the applicable Issuing Bank shall not permit any such
renewal if such Issuing Bank has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed
form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 4.2 or otherwise).
(d) Participations.
By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action
on the part of any Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving
Credit Lender hereby acquires from the applicable Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of
the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Revolver Administrative Agent,
for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement with
respect to a Letter of Credit made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Revolver Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph
(e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Revolver Borrowers for any reason in respect thereof.
Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect
of Letters of Credit, and such Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations under Section 2.7(e) are absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender
may have against the Issuing Bank, the Revolver Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance
of a Default or Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 4, (iii) any adverse
change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Lender or any reduction in or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments or (v) any other
circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
89
(e) Reimbursement.
If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Revolver Borrower shall reimburse
such LC Disbursement by paying to the Revolver Administrative Agent an amount and currency equal to such LC Disbursement not later than
12:00 noon, New York City time, on the first Business Day immediately following the day that such Revolver Borrower receives notice that
such LC Disbursement is made (or, if such Revolver Borrower receives such notice after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the second Business
Day immediately following the day that such Revolver Borrower receives such notice); provided that (if the conditions of Section
4.2 are satisfied) such Revolver Borrower shall have the absolute and unconditional right to require that such payment be financed
with an ABR Revolving Credit Borrowing (in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in US Dollars) or a Eurodollar Revolving Credit
Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month (in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency), in each case,
by such Revolver Borrower under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility under which the applicable Letter of Credit was issued, in each
case in an equivalent amount and currency (subject to the requirements of set forth in Sections 2.4 through 2.6, as applicable)
and, to the extent so financed, such Revolver Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the
resulting Revolving Credit Borrowing. If a Revolver Borrower fails to make such payment when due, or finance such payment in accordance
with the proviso to the preceding sentence, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Revolver Administrative Agent of the
applicable LC Disbursement and the Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable
LC Disbursement, the payment then due from such Revolver Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.
Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Revolver Administrative Agent its Applicable
Percentage of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility of the payment then due from such Revolver Borrower by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account of the Revolver Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders
not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such notice is received (or, if such Revolving Credit Lender shall have received
such notice later than 12:00 noon, New York City time on such day, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following
Business Day), and the Revolver Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from
the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Revolver Administrative Agent of any payment from a Revolver Borrower pursuant to this
paragraph, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders
have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and such Issuing Bank
as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any Issuing Bank
for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Credit Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans in Alternative Currency
as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the applicable Revolver Borrower of its obligation to reimburse
such LC Disbursement. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have made its Applicable Percentage of an LC Disbursement available to
the Revolver Administrative Agent as provided above, such Revolving Credit Lender and the applicable Revolver Borrower severally agree
to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this Section
2.7(e) to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Revolver Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing
Bank at (i) in the case of such Revolver Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to ABR Revolving Credit
Loans and (ii) in the case of such Revolving Credit Lender, (A) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in US Dollars, for the first
such day, the Federal Funds Rate, and for each day thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate and (B) in the case of Letters of Credit denominated
in an Alternative Currency, the Eurodollar Rate with an Interest Period of one month.
90
(f) Obligations
Absolute. Each Revolver Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, several and not joint, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter
of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving
to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by
the applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any adverse change in the exchange rate or in the availability of an Alternative Currency to any Borrower
or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or in the relevant currency markets generally (v) any payment made by the Issuing Bank in respect
of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received
under such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or (vi) any other event or
circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute
a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, such Revolver Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of
the Agents, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by
reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder
(irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay
in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document
required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the
control of the applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the provisions of this Section 2.7(f) shall not be construed to excuse
the applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the applicable Revolver Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to indirect,
consequential, special and punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by
applicable law) suffered by such Revolver Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining
whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree
that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction), the applicable Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance
of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear
on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion,
either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information
to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms
of such Letter of Credit.
91
(g) Disbursement
Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand
for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Revolver Administrative
Agent and the applicable Revolver Borrower by telephone (confirmed by email) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank
has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not
relieve such Revolver Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h) Interim
Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Revolver Borrower shall reimburse such LC
Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including
the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that such Revolver Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate
per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Credit Loans (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in US Dollars) and the Eurodollar
Rate with an Interest Period of one month (in the case of Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency); provided that,
if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.15(b)
shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest
accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank
shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i) Replacement
of Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Revolver Borrowers, the Revolver Administrative
Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank (provided that no consent of the replaced Issuing Bank will be required if it has no Letters of
Credit or Reimbursement Obligations with respect thereto outstanding) and the successor Issuing Bank. The Revolver Administrative Agent
shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become
effective, each Revolver Borrower, severally, shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank with respect
to such Revolver Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor
Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be
issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor
or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement
of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations
of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required
to renew existing Letters of Credit or issue additional Letters of Credit.
92
(j) Applicability
of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower when a
Letter of Credit is issued or when it is amended with the consent of the beneficiary thereof, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to
each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to such Borrower for, and the Issuing Bank’s rights and remedies against such Borrower
shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the Issuing Bank required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required
or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of any governmental authority in
a jurisdiction where the Issuing Bank or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable or in the decisions,
opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International
Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of
Credit chooses such law or practice.
(k) Cash
Collateralization. If any Event of Default under Section 7.1(f) with respect to Parent or any Borrower shall occur and be continuing
or if the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to Section 7 as a result of any Event of Default, on the Business Day that any Revolver
Borrower receives notice from the Revolver Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has
been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), in each case, demanding (which demand,
in the case of any Event of Default under Section 7.1(f) with respect to Parent or any Borrower, shall be deemed to have been given
automatically) the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, such Revolver Borrower shall deposit in an account with the
Revolver Administrative Agent, in the name of the Revolver Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash
equal to 103% of the applicable LC Exposure with respect to such Revolver Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest
thereon. Such deposit shall be held by the Revolver Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Letter of
Credit obligations of such Revolver Borrower under this Agreement. The Revolver Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and
control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits,
which investments shall be made in Cash Equivalents at the option and reasonable discretion of the Revolver Administrative Agent and at
such Revolver Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments
shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Revolver Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable
Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction
of the reimbursement obligations of such Revolver Borrower for the applicable LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans
has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure),
be applied to satisfy other obligations of such Revolver Borrower under this Agreement. If a Revolver Borrower is required to provide
an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default specified above, such amount (to the extent
not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Revolver Borrower within two (2) Business Days after such Event of Default has been
cured or waived (unless the Commitments have been terminated and the Obligations have been accelerated, in each case in accordance with
Section 7).
93
(l) Provisions
Related to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments. If the Maturity Date in respect of any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments occurs
prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of
which the Maturity Date shall not have occurred are then in effect and such Letter of Credit would otherwise be available under such tranche
of Revolving Credit Commitments, such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the
obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section
2.7(d) and (e)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of such
non-maturing tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the unutilized Revolving Credit Commitments thereunder
at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not
reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the applicable Revolver Borrower shall cash collateralize any such Letter
of Credit in accordance with Section 2.7(j). For the avoidance of doubt, commencing with the Maturity Date of any tranche of Revolving
Credit Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit under any tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments that has not so then matured
shall be as agreed in the relevant Permitted Amendment with the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders.
2.8 Funding of
Borrowings. (a) Except as expressly set forth in Section 2.2, each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder
on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the applicable currency of such Loan by 12:00 noon,
New York City time, to the account of the applicable Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice
to the Lenders. The applicable Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the applicable Borrower by promptly crediting
the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower maintained with the applicable Administrative Agent in New
York City or such other account reasonably approved by the applicable Administrative Agent, in each case, as is designated by such
Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Revolving Credit Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans
made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.7(e) shall be remitted by the Revolver
Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank.
94
(b) Unless
the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender
will not make available to the applicable Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, such Administrative Agent
may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.8
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender
has not in fact made its share of the Borrowing available to the applicable Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and such
Borrower severally agree to pay to the applicable 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 such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the applicable
Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate, or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable
to ABR Loans of the applicable Class. If such Lender pays such amount to the applicable Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute
such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
(c) Each
of the Revolver Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Revolving Credit Lender at its option may make any extension of credit
hereunder or otherwise perform its obligations hereunder through any Lending Office (each, a “Designated Lender”);
provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of any Revolver Borrower to repay any such extension
of credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any Designated Lender shall be considered a Revolving Credit Lender; provided
that in the case of an Affiliate or branch of a Revolving Credit Lender, such provisions that would be applicable with respect to extensions
of credit actually provided by such Affiliate or branch of such Revolving Credit Lender shall apply to such Affiliate or branch of such
Revolving Credit Lender to the same extent as such Revolving Credit Lender; provided further that for the purposes only of voting
in connection with any Loan Document, any participation by any Designated Lender in any outstanding extension of credit shall be deemed
a participation of such Revolving Credit Lender.
2.9 Interest
Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter,
the applicable Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a
Eurodollar Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.9. The
Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion
shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion
shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.9, (i) the Borrowers will not
be permitted to change the currency of any Borrowing and (ii) Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency will not be permitted to
be converted into ABR Revolving Credit Borrowings.
95
(b) To
make an election pursuant to this Section 2.9, the applicable Borrower shall notify the applicable Administrative Agent of such
election by email by (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three
Business Days (or five Business Days in the case of a Special Notice Currency) before the proposed effective date of the proposed election
(or such later time and/or date as may be agreed by the applicable Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) or (ii) in the case
of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the proposed effective date of the proposed election (or such later
time and/or date as may be agreed by the applicable Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). Each such email Interest Election
Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the applicable Administrative Agent of a
written Interest Election Request signed by the applicable Borrower.
(c) Each
email and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.5:
(i) the
Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions
thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses
(iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the
effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether
the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurodollar Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing; and
(iv) if
the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect
to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.
If any such Interest Election Request requests
a Eurodollar Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d) Promptly
following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the applicable Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof
and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e) If
the applicable Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing
prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such
Interest Period, such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing; provided, however, that in the case of a failure
to timely request a continuation of Eurodollar Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Loans shall be continued as Eurodollar
Loans or SOFR Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the applicable Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so
notifies the Borrowers, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (x) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued
as a Eurodollar Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing and (y) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing or SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to an
ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. In addition to the foregoing, during the existence of an Event of
Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Loans or SOFR Loans (whether in US Dollars or any Alternative
Currency, as applicable) without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders or the Required Term Lenders, as applicable, and the Required
Revolving Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Eurodollar Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid,
or redenominated into US Dollars in the amount of the US Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period
with respect thereto.
96
2.10 Termination and
Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the applicable
Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The (1) [Reserved] and (2) Term Loan BA
Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Term BA
Loans on the Eighth Amendment EffectiveClosing
Date and, in any event, not later than 5:005.00
p.m., New York City time, on the EighthNinth
Amendment Effective Date. The commitments of each Issuing Bank to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letters of Credit shall
automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) the date that is
five (5) Business Days prior to the latest Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (iii) such Issuing Bank ceasing to be a Revolving
Credit Lender hereunder.
(b) The
Revolver Borrowers may at any time terminate, without premium or penalty, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments
under any Revolving Credit Facility (or under any tranche of the Revolving Credit Commitments); provided that (i) each reduction
of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii)
in any event, the Revolver Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent
prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.12, the Total Revolving Credit Exposure under any tranche would exceed the
total Revolving Credit Commitments under such tranche.
(c) The
Revolver Borrowers shall notify the Revolver Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments
under any Revolving Credit Facility (or any tranche thereof) pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section at least three (3) Business
Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following
receipt of any such notice, the Revolver Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders of the contents thereof.
Each notice delivered by the Revolver Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination
of the Revolving Credit Commitments delivered by the Revolver Borrowers may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness
of other credit facilities or any other financing, sale or other transaction. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments
shall be permanent (but subject to any increase pursuant to Section 2.23). Each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments under
any Revolving Credit Facility (other than any such reduction resulting from the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any
Lender as provided in Section 2.21) shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments
under such Revolving Credit Facility.
97
2.11 Repayment of
Revolving Credit Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Revolver Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Revolver
Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan
of such Lender made to such Revolver Borrower on the applicable Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
(b) Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from
time to time hereunder
(c) The
applicable Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class
and Type thereof and, if applicable, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable
or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the applicable Administrative
Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 2.11 shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error, of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, that the failure of any Lender
or the applicable Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of
the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Any
Lender may request through the applicable Administrative Agent that Loans made by it to a Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note.
In such event, such Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or if requested
by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the form of Exhibit G-1, G-2 or G-3, as applicable.
Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to
Section 9.4) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (and its registered
assigns).
2.12 Prepayment of
Loans. (a) Each Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing made by it in whole or
in part, without premium or penalty (but subject to Sections 2.12(e) and 2.18), subject to prior notice in accordance
with paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12.
(b) Prior
to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be
prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12.
Each optional or mandatory prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied ratably to such Term Loans (based on the respective outstanding principal
amounts thereof unless, in the case of Extended Term Loans, Incremental Term BA
Loans or Replacement Term Loans, the applicable Permitted Amendment specifies a less favorable treatment); provided, that prepayments
of Term Loans made with the proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans and Permitted Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness shall be applied in
accordance with Section 2.14(d). Prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments as follows:
(i) any
mandatory prepayments of Term BA
Loans pursuant to Section 2.14 shall be applied to the remaining scheduled principal installments in direct order of maturity or
as otherwise directed by the Term Loan Borrower and (b) in the case of any other Term Loans, in the order specified in the applicable
Permitted Amendment, and
98
(ii) any
optional prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12(a) shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments thereof
as directed by the Term Loan Borrower (or, if no such direction is given, in direct order of maturity thereof).
(c) The
applicable Borrower shall notify the applicable Administrative Agent by email of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment
of a Eurodollar Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days (or five Business Days
in the case of a Special Notice Currency) before the date of prepayment (or such later time and/or date as may be agreed by the applicable
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment (or such later time and/or date as may be agreed by the applicable
Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the
principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided, that any notice of prepayment may be conditioned
upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or any other financing, Disposition, sale or other transaction. Promptly following receipt
of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the applicable Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each
partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same
Type as provided in Section 2.5. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.15.
Each repayment of a Borrowing (x) in the case of a Revolving Credit Facility, shall be applied to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing
such that each Revolving Credit Lender holding Loans included in such repaid Borrowing receives its ratable share of such repayment (based
upon the respective Revolving Credit Exposures of the Revolving Credit Lenders holding Loans included in such repaid Borrowing at the
time of such repayment) and (y) in all other cases, shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. In the event
the applicable Borrower fails to specify the Borrowings to which any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall
be applied as follows:
(i) first,
to repay outstanding Revolving Credit Borrowings to the full extent thereof (ratably among Revolving Credit Facilities); and
(ii) second,
to prepay the Term Borrowings ratably in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 2.12 (unless, with respect to a Class
of Term Loans, the applicable Permitted Amendment specifies a less favorable treatment).
99
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including the penultimate sentence of Section 2.12(c)
or Section 2.20(c)) or any other Loan Document, the Purchasing Borrower Parties shall
have the right at any time and from time to time to purchase Term Loans by way of assignment in accordance with Section
9.4(g), including pursuant to a Dutch Auction in accordance with Section 2.12(f).
(e) (A)
In the event that the Term Loan Borrower, on or prior to the second anniversary of the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, (i) repays, prepays,
purchases, buys back, refinances, substitutes or replaces any Term B Loans (including in connection with a Repricing Event, pursuant to
Section 2.12(a) or as a result of a mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.14(a)) (but other
than a repayment pursuant to Section 2.3) or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting
in a Repricing Event, the Term Loan Borrower shall pay to the Term Loan B Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term
Loan B Lenders (x) in the case of clause (i), an amount equal to the Applicable Prepayment Percentage
of the aggregate principal amount of the Term B Loans so being repaid, prepaid, purchased, bought back, refinanced, substituted or replaced
and (y) in the case of clause (ii), an amount equal to the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of
the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term B Loans that are the subject of such Repricing Event and outstanding immediately
prior to such amendment; and (B) In the event that the Term Loan Borrower, after the second anniversary of the Eighth Amendment Effective
Date, but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Eighth Amendment Effective Date (i) repays, prepays, purchases, buys back, refinances,
substitutes or replaces any Term B Loans in connection with a Repricing Event (other than as a result of a mandatory prepayment pursuant
to Section 2.14(b) or Section 2.14(c) or a repayment
pursuant to Section 2.3) or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing
Event, the Term Loan Borrower shall pay to the Term Loan B Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Term Loan B Lenders
(x) in the case of clause (i), an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Term B Loans so being repaid, prepaid, purchased, bought back, refinanced, substituted or replaced and (y) in the case of clause
(ii), an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Term B Loans that are the subject
of such Repricing Event and outstanding immediately prior to such amendment.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.12 or any other provision of this Agreement
and without otherwise limiting the rights in respect of prepayments of the Term Loans, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, any Purchasing Borrower Party may repurchase outstanding Term Loans in negotiated open market purchases pursuant to
Section 9.4(g) or pursuant to this Section 2.12(f) on
the following basis:
(i) Any
Purchasing Borrower Party may conduct one or more auctions (each, an “Auction”) to
repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans of a Class (the “Subject Class”)
made to it by providing written notice to the Term Loan B Agent (for distribution to the Lenders) of the Term Loans that will be the subject
of the Auction (an “Auction Notice”). Each Auction Notice shall be in a form reasonably
acceptable to such Term Loan B Agent and shall contain (x) the total cash value of the bid, in a minimum amount of $5.0 million with minimum
increments of $1.0 million (the “Auction Amount”), and (y) the discount to par, which
shall be a range (the “Discount Range”) of percentages of the par principal amount
of the Term Loans at issue that represents the range of purchase prices that could be paid in the Auction;
100
(ii) In
connection with any Auction, each Term Loan Lender may, in its sole discretion, participate in such Auction and may provide the Term Loan
B Agent with a notice of participation (the “Return Bid”), which shall be in a form
reasonably acceptable to such Term Loan B Agent and shall specify (x) a price discounted to par that must be expressed as a price (the
“Reply Discount Price”), which must be within the Discount Range, and (y) a principal
amount of Term Loans which must be in increments of $1.0 million or in an amount equal to the Term Loan Lender’s entire remaining
amount of such Loans (the “Reply Amount”). Term Loan Lenders may only submit one
Return Bid per Auction. In addition to the Return Bid, the participating Term Loan Lender must execute and deliver, to be held in escrow
by such Term Loan B Agent, an Assignment and Assumption in a form reasonably acceptable to such Term Loan B Agent;
(iii) Based
on the Reply Discount Prices and Reply Amounts received by the Term Loan B Agent, such Term Loan B Agent, in consultation with the Term
Loan Borrower, will determine the applicable discount (the “Applicable Discount”)
for the Auction, which will be the lowest Reply Discount Price for which the applicable Purchasing Borrower Party can complete the Auction
at the Auction Amount; provided, that, in the event that the Reply Amounts are insufficient to
allow such Purchasing Borrower Party to complete a purchase of the entire Auction Amount (any such Auction, a “Failed
Auction”), such Purchasing Borrower Party shall either, at its election, (x) withdraw the Auction or (y) complete
the Auction at an Applicable Discount equal to the highest Reply Discount Price. Such Purchasing Borrower Party shall purchase Term Loans
(or the respective portions thereof) from each Term Loan Lender with a Reply Discount Price that is equal to or less than the Applicable
Discount (“Qualifying Bids”) at the Applicable Discount; provided,
further, that if the aggregate proceeds required to purchase all Term Loans subject to Qualifying
Bids would exceed the Auction Amount for such Auction, the Term Loan Borrower shall purchase such Term Loans at the Applicable Discount
ratably based on the principal amounts of such Qualifying Bids (subject to rounding requirements specified by the Term Loan B Agent).
Each participating Term Loan Lender will receive notice of a Qualifying Bid as soon as reasonably practicable but in no case later than
five Business Days from the date the Return Bid was due;
(iv) Once
initiated by an Auction Notice, no Purchasing Borrower Party may withdraw an Auction without the consent of the Term Loan B Agent other
than a Failed Auction. Furthermore, in connection with any Auction, upon submission by a Term Loan Lender of a Qualifying Bid, such Lender
(each, a “Qualifying Lender”) will be obligated to sell the entirety or its allocable
portion of the Reply Amount, as the case may be, at the Applicable Discount. Each purchase of Term Loans in an Auction shall be consummated
pursuant to procedures (including as to response deadlines, rounding amounts, type and Interest Period of accepted Term Loans, and calculation
of the Applicable Discount referred to above) established by the Term Loan B Agent and agreed to by the Term Loan Borrower; and
101
(v) The
repurchases by any Purchasing Borrower Party of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.12(f) shall
be subject to the following conditions: (A) the Auction is open to all Term Loan Lenders of the Subject Class on a pro rata basis, (B)
no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom, (C) the applicable Assignment and Assumption shall include
a customary “big boy” representation from each of the Purchasing Borrower Party and the Qualifying Lender (it being agreed
that no Purchasing Borrower Party shall be required to make a representation as to absence of MNPI) and (D) any Term Loans repurchased
pursuant to this Section 2.12(f) shall be automatically and permanently canceled upon acquisition
thereof by the Purchasing Borrower Party
(d) [Reserved].
(e) [Reserved].
(f) [Reserved].
2.13 Fees. (a) The
Revolver Borrowers agree, on a several and not joint basis, to pay to the Revolver Administrative Agent for the account of each
Revolving Credit Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at a rate equal to the Revolving
Commitment Fee Rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments on the actual daily unused amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on
which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates. The foregoing notwithstanding, the applicable lenders may consent
to a different commitment fee to be paid pursuant to the terms of any applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, Replacement
Facility Amendment or Extension Offer. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June,
September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on the last day
of December 2018. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of calculating the commitment fee only,
the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of Revolving Credit Loans of
such Revolving Credit Lender and the LC Exposure of such Revolving Credit Lender.
102
(b) The
Revolver Borrowers agree, on a several and not joint basis, to pay to the Revolver Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving
Credit Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Margin
used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans or SOFR Revolving Credit Loans, on the daily amount
of such Lender’s LC Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements)
during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure with respect to any Letters of Credit. The Revolver
Borrowers agree, on a several and not joint basis, to pay to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125%
per annum (or such other percentage as may be separately agreed to by the Revolver Borrowers and the applicable Issuing Bank) on the average
daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable to the Letters
of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank on account of such Revolver Borrowers during the period from and including the Closing Date to but
excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure
attributable to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to
the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued participation fees
and fronting fees shall be payable on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which
the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on the last day of December 2018; provided that any such fees accruing after
the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph
shall be payable within 30 days after written demand therefor. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis
of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(c) The
Borrowers agree, on a several and not joint basis, to pay to each Agent, for its own account, the fees described in each Agency Fee Letter,
as applicable.
(d) All
fees payable hereunder shall be paid in US Dollars on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the applicable Agent (or to the
applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to
the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (except as otherwise expressly agreed).
103
2.14 Mandatory
Prepayments. (a) If Indebtedness is incurred by any Group Member (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.2),
then on the date of such issuance or incurrence, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied to the
prepayment of the Term Loans (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) as set forth in Section 2.14(e). The
provisions of this Section 2.14 do not constitute a consent to the incurrence of any Indebtedness by any Group Member.
(b) If
on any date any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sales or Recovery Events (to the extent such Asset Sales or
Recovery Events result in Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $15.0 million in the aggregate in any fiscal year (with only the amount in excess
of such annual threshold required to be applied to such prepayment)) in a single transaction or a series of related transactions, then,
unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof (other than with respect to any Specified Sale and Leaseback Transaction,
in respect of which no Reinvestment Notice shall be permitted) and no later than five Business Days (or, if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, two Business Days) after the date of receipt by any Group Member of such Net Cash Proceeds, an amount equal to 100%
of the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans (together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon) as set forth in Section 2.14(e) (any such amounts not required to prepay the Term Loans as a result of application of
this clause, the “Retained Asset Sale Proceeds”, which shall not, however, include any proceeds incurred in connection
with Sale and Leaseback Transactions permitted pursuant to Section 6.10); provided, that (i) notwithstanding the foregoing,
on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event
shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans (together with accrued interest thereon), (ii) the provisions of this Section
2.14 do not constitute a consent to the consummation of any Disposition not permitted by Section 6.5 and (iii) if at the time
that any such prepayment would be required, the Term Loan Borrower is required to, or required to offer to, repurchase or redeem or repay
or prepay any other Indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations (other than the Revolving Credit Loans) pursuant
to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with proceeds of such Asset Sale or Recovery Event (such Indebtedness required
to be offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Term Loan Borrower may apply such Net
Cash Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable
Indebtedness at such time; provided, further, that the portion of such net proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness
shall not exceed the amount of such net proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof,
and the remaining amount, if any, of such net proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the
prepayment of the Term Loans and to the repurchase or repayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of the prepayment of
the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.14(b) shall be reduced accordingly; provided,
further, that to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased or repaid
with such net proceeds, the declined amount of such net proceeds shall promptly (and in any event within five Business Days after the
date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof (to the extent such net proceeds would
otherwise have been required to be so applied if such Other Applicable Indebtedness was not then outstanding). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
with respect to any Foreign Asset Sale or Foreign Recovery Event, the Term Loan Borrower may elect to reduce the amount of such prepayment
by the amount of any Restricted Asset Sale Proceeds or Restricted Recovery Event Proceeds, as the case may be, included in such Net Cash
Proceeds; provided, that the Term Loan Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts such that the distribution of any
amounts constituting Restricted Asset Sale Proceeds or Restricted Recovery Event Proceeds solely pursuant to clause (a) of the
respective definition thereof (if such amounts were distributed), or the inclusion of any amounts constituting Restricted Asset Sale Proceeds
or Restricted Recovery Event Proceeds solely pursuant to clause (a) of the respective definition thereof in Net Cash Proceeds for
purposes of calculating any repayment obligation pursuant to this paragraph, as applicable, would not result in adverse tax consequences
of more than a de minimis amount to Parent and its Subsidiaries (as reasonably determined by Parent), such that such amounts would not
constitute Restricted Asset Sale Proceeds or Restricted Recovery Event Proceeds, as the case may be, as promptly as practicable following
the date of such prepayment. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Term Loan Borrower be required to repatriate cash at Foreign
Subsidiaries.
104
(c) If,
for any Excess Cash Flow Period, there shall be Excess Cash Flow, then, on the relevant Excess Cash Flow Application Date, the Term Loan
Borrower shall apply an amount equal to (i) the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow minus (ii) the Optional Prepayment Amount (if
any) for such Excess Cash Flow Period to the prepayment of the Term B Loans, as set forth in Section 2.14(e).
Each such prepayment shall be made on a date (an “Excess Cash Flow Application Date”)
no later than five Business Days after the earlier of (x) the date on which the financial statements of Parent referred to in Section
5.1(a), for the fiscal year with respect to which such prepayment is to be made, are required to be delivered to
the Lenders and (y) the date such financial statements are actually delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term Loan Borrower may
elect to reduce the amount of such prepayment by an amount equal to the ECF Percentage of Restricted ECF, if any, for such Excess Cash
Flow; provided, that the Term Loan Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts such
that the distribution of such applicable percentage of amounts constituting Restricted ECF solely pursuant to clause
(a) of the definition thereof (if such amounts were distributed), or the inclusion of such applicable percentage
of amounts constituting Restricted ECF solely pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof
in Excess Cash Flow for purposes of calculating any repayment obligation pursuant to this paragraph, would not result in adverse tax consequences
(as reasonably determined by Parent), such that such amounts would not constitute Restricted ECF, as promptly as practicable following
the Excess Cash Flow Application Date (and at such time (if applicable), shall prepay the Term B Loans by the amount thereof in accordance
with this Section 2.14(c)). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Term Loan Borrowers
be required to repatriate cash at foreign subsidiaries[reserved].
(d) The
Net Cash Proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans or any Permitted Term Loan Refinancing Indebtedness of Term BA
Loans (that is incurred to refinance Term BA
Loans) shall be used on a dollar-for-dollar basis for the repayment of Term BA
Loans to be repaid from such Net Cash Proceeds on the date such Net Cash Proceeds are received. Any such prepayment of Term Loans of a
Class shall be paid ratably to the holders of such Class and shall be applied to the remaining scheduled amortization installments of
the Term Loans of such Class in the order specified in Section 2.12(b)(ii).
(e) Amounts
to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be applied first to reduce outstanding ABR Loans of the applicable Class. Any
amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay SOFR Loans of such Class; provided, however, that
if any Lenders exercise the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of any Class of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.14(f)
then such mandatory prepayment shall be applied on a pro rata basis to the then outstanding Term Loans of the accepting Lenders of such
Class being prepaid irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are ABR Loans or SOFR Loans; provided, further,
that the Borrowers may elect (except in the case of a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.14(d)) that the remainder of such prepayments
not applied to prepay ABR Loans be deposited in a collateral account pledged to the applicable Administrative Agent to secure the Obligations
and applied thereafter to prepay the SOFR Loans on the last day of the next expiring Interest Period for SOFR Loans; provided,
that (A) interest shall continue to accrue thereon at the rate otherwise applicable under this Agreement to the SOFR Loan in respect of
which such deposit was made, until such amounts are applied to prepay such SOFR Loan, and (B) (x) at any time while a Specified Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the applicable Administrative Agent may, and (y) at any time while an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, upon written direction from the Required Lenders, the applicable Administrative Agent shall, apply any or
all of such amounts to the payment of SOFR Loans.
105
(f) Any
mandatory prepayment of (x) the Term Loans to be made pursuant to Section 2.14(b)
shall be applied pro rata to the Term Loans under the Term Loan Facilities then outstanding based on the aggregate principal amounts of
outstanding Term Loans of each Class under the Term Loan Facilities; provided that to the extent provided in the relevant Incremental
Facility Amendment or Extension Amendment, any Class of Incremental
Term BA
Loans or Extended Term Loans under the Term Loan BA
Facility may be paid on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with any other Class of Term Loans under the Term Facilities and
(y) Term B Loans to be made pursuant to Section 2.14(c) shall be applied pro rata to the Term
B Loans then outstanding based on the aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Term B Loans; provided
that to the extent provided in the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment or Extension Amendment, any Incremental Term B Loans
or Extended Term Loans under the Term Loan B Facility may be paid on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis with the Term Loan B
Facility.
(g) Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 2.14 to the contrary:
(i) [reserved];
and
(i) (ii)
any Term Loan BA
Lender (and, to the extent provided in the applicable Permitted Amendment, any other Term Loan BA
Lender) may elect, by notice to the Term Loan BA
Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile or, in accordance with the second paragraph of Section 9.1, e-mail) at
least one Business Day prior to the required prepayment date, to decline all of any mandatory prepayment of its Term BA
Loans pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 2.14, in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment
that would have been applied to prepay Term BA
Loans but was so declined may be retained by the Group Members (such declined amounts to the extent retained by the Group Members, the
“Declined Term Loan BA
Proceeds”); and
(ii) [reserved].
(h) If
for any reason, the Total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the total Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect (including after giving
effect to any reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.10), the Revolver Borrowers shall immediately
prepay Revolving Credit Loans and/or cash collateralize the Letters of Credit (in accordance with Section 2.7(j)) in an aggregate
amount equal to such excess.
106
2.15 Interest. (a)
Subject to Section 9.17, each Loan shall bear interest at the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) Following
the occurrence and during the continuation of a Specified Event of Default, the applicable Borrowers shall pay interest on overdue amounts
hereunder at a rate per annum equal to (the “Default Rate”): (i) in the case of overdue principal of, or interest
on, any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section
2.15 or (ii) in the case of any other overdue amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph
(a) of this Section 2.15.
(c) Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans,
upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section 2.15 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment
of an ABR Revolving Credit Loan that is not made in connection with the termination or permanent reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments),
accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the
event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest
on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(d) All
interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or a 365- or 366-day year, as the case may be). The applicable
Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate, LIBO Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR
or SOFR shall be determined by the applicable Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), and to the extent in compliance with Section 2.23,
2.24 or 2.25, as applicable, Loans made pursuant to an Incremental Facility or Replacement Facility or extended in connection
with an Extension Offer shall bear interest at the rate set forth in the applicable Permitted Amendment to the extent a different interest
rate is specified therein.
2.16 Alternate Rate of
Interest; Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(a) If
prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing:
(i) the
applicable Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR
for such Interest Period; or
(ii) the
applicable Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or Adjusted
Term SOFR for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining
their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
107
then the applicable Administrative Agent shall
give notice thereof to the applicable Borrowers and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until
the applicable Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice
no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing
as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Credit Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be made as, or converted to, an ABR Borrowing.
(b)
(i) Solely
with respect to the Term Loan A Facility and Revolving Credit
Facility, the following clause (i) shall apply: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents, upon the
occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Revolverapplicable
Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any
such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th)
Business Day after the Revolverapplicable
Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrowers so long as the applicable Administrative
Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required RevolvingPro
Rata Facility Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.16(b) will
occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. No Swap Obligation or Hedge Agreement shall be deemed to be a “Loan
Document” for purposes of this Section 2.16(b).
(ii) Solely
with respect to the Term Loan Facility, the following clause (ii) shall apply: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any
other Loan Documents, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Term Loan B Agent and the Borrowers may amend this Agreement
to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will
become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Term Loan B Agent has posted such proposed
amendment to all affected Lenders and the Borrowers so long as the Term Loan B Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of
objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Term Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement
pursuant to this Section 2.16(b) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date. No Swap Obligation or Hedge Agreement
shall be deemed to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.16(b)[reserved].
(iii) In
connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the applicable Administrative Agent will
have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan
Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other
party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
108
(iv) The
applicable Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers 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 applicable Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a
Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.16(b)(v). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the applicable Administrative
Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.16(b), including any determination with respect
to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain
from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion
and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant
to this Section 2.16(b).
(v) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark
Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Adjusted LIBO 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 applicable Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory
supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor
for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities
Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the applicable Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest
Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable,
non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either
(A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or
is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International
Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement),
then the applicable 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.
(vi) Upon
the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrowers may revoke any pending
request for a SOFR Loan of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loan to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability
Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion
to an ABR Loan. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available
Tenor, the component of Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will
not be used in any determination of Alternate Base Rate.
109
(vii) Disclaimer:
The applicable Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to,
the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of, or any other matter related to “ABR”, “Alternate
Base Rate”, “SOFR”, “Term SOFR” and the “Term SOFR Reference Rate”,
any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof or any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement
rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement, (ii) any alternative, successor
or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.16(b), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and (iii)
the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes, including without limitation, (A) whether the composition or characteristics
of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce
the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as Alternate Base Rate, the existing Benchmark or any
subsequent replacement Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability (including Term SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or any
other Benchmark), and (B) the impact or effect of such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate or Conforming Changes on any
other financial products or agreements in effect or offered by or to any obligor or Lender or any of their respective affiliates, including,
without limitation, any Swap Obligation or Hedge Agreement). The applicable Administrative Agent may select information sources or services
in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any Alternate Base Rate or any Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
and shall have no liability to Borrowers, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect,
special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether
at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or
service. The applicable Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation
of Alternate Base Rate or any Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any
relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers.
2.17 Increased
Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) subject
any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through
(d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments,
or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
(ii) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of,
or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the Adjusted
Term SOFR) or any Issuing Bank; or
(iii) impose
on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this
Agreement or Eurodollar Loans or SOFR Loan made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
110
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be
to increase the cost to such Lender (or in the case of clause (i) above, to such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the
case may be) of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or SOFR Loan (or in the case of clause (i) above, any Loan) (or of maintaining
its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, of
participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Agent,
such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the applicable Borrower
will pay to such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided,
in each case, that such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank certifies that it has requested such payments from similarly situated
borrowers.
(b) If
any Lender or any Issuing Bank 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 or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or
such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters
of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such
Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s
holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the applicable Borrower will pay to such Lender
or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such
Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction; provided, in each case, that such Agent or
such Lender or such Issuing Bank certifies that it has requested such payments from similarly situated borrowers.
(c) A
certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth in reasonable detail the matters giving rise to a claim under this Section
2.17 by such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b)
of this Section 2.17 shall be delivered to the Revolver Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable
Revolver Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall not constitute
a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that the Revolver Borrowers
shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.17 for any increased costs or reductions
incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Revolver Borrowers
of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’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.
111
(e) If
any Lender reasonably determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that
it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Loans or SOFR Loans, or to determine
or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR,
then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Revolver Borrowers through the applicable Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender
to make or continue Eurodollar Loans or SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans or SOFR Loans shall be suspended until
such Lender notifies the applicable Administrative Agent and the Revolver Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination
no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Revolver Borrower may at its option revoke any pending request for a borrowing
of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or SOFR Loans and shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the applicable
Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Loans or SOFR Loans of such Lender to ABR Loans, either on the
last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans or SOFR Loans to such
day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans or SOFR Loans. Upon any such prepayment
or conversion, the applicable Revolver Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees
to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment
of such Lender, otherwise cause economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage to such Lender.
2.18 Break Funding
Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan or SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan or SOFR
Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay
any Eurodollar Loan or SOFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is
conditional as contemplated by Section 2.12(c) and such condition is not satisfied) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar
Loan or SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the applicable
Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.21(c), then, in any such event, the applicable Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the
loss, cost and expense attributable to such event (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason
of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans or SOFR Loan but
excluding loss of anticipated profits). A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled
to receive pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be delivered to the applicable Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Absent manifest error in the determination of such amount, the applicable Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount
shown as due on any such certificate within ten Business Days after receipt thereof.
112
2.19 Taxes. (a) Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Requirement of Tax Law. If the applicable
Withholding Agent shall be required (as determined by such Withholding Agent in its good faith discretion) by Requirement of Tax Law
to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) in the case of deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes the sum
payable shall be increased by the applicable Loan Party as necessary so that after making all required deductions with respect to
such Indemnified Taxes (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums with respect to such Indemnified
Taxes payable under this Section 2.19(a)) the applicable Agent or Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding
Agent shall make or cause to be made such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay or cause
to be paid the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Requirement of Tax Law.
(b) In
addition, the Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of
the applicable Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) (i) The Borrowers
shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender and Issuing Bank, within 30 days after written 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 2.19)
payable or paid by such Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Agent or Lender
or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, 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 setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for such claim and the amount of any such payment or liability shall be delivered to the applicable Borrowers by a Lender
(with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent) or Issuing Bank or by the applicable Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender
or Issuing Bank, and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ii) Without
limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and each Issuing Bank shall, and does hereby indemnify
each Borrower and each Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes
and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of
any counsel for the Agents) incurred by or asserted against such Borrower or such Agent, as applicable, by any Governmental Authority
as a result of the failure by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy
or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to the applicable
Borrower or the applicable Agent, as applicable, pursuant to subsection (e) below. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes
each Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to such Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause
(ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of any Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or
an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
113
(d) As
soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.19, the Loan
Party shall deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
applicable Administrative Agent.
(e) (i)
Any Lender or Issuing Bank that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Document shall deliver to the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested
by the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested
by the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a
reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender or Issuing Bank, if reasonably requested by the applicable Borrowers or the applicable
Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the applicable Borrowers
or the applicable Administrative Agent as will enable the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent to determine whether
or not such Lender or Issuing Bank 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 2.19(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(F) below) shall not be required if in such Lender’s or
Issuing Bank’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any material
unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender or Issuing Bank.
(ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to the Obligations of HII and the Term Loan Borrower:
(A) any
Lender or Issuing Bank that is a US Person shall deliver to the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent on or prior
to the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable
Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender or Issuing Bank is exempt
from US Federal backup withholding tax;
114
(B) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a
Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable Borrowers or the applicable
Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments
of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or
reduction of, US Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any
other applicable payments under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, US 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 H-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 such Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B)
of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “US Tax Compliance
Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
(4) to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form
W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a US Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-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 US Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct
and indirect partner;
(C) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a
Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the applicable Borrowers or the applicable
Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction
in US Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to
permit the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;
and
115
(D) each
Lender shall promptly (x) notify Parent and the applicable Agent of any change in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any
claimed exemption or reduction, and (y) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of
such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the redesignation of its lending office) to avoid any requirement of applicable
Laws of any jurisdiction that any Borrower or such Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.
In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender agrees that if any form or certification previously delivered by it expires or becomes obsolete
or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and such Agent of its legal
inability to do so;
(E) each
of the Borrowers shall promptly deliver to any Agent or any Lender, as such Agent or such Lender shall reasonably request, on or prior
to the Closing Date (or such later date on which it first becomes a Borrower), and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and
forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by such Borrower, as
are required to be furnished by such Lender or such Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender of Taxes or Other Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction; and
(F) if
a payment made to a Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to US Federal withholding Tax imposed pursuant to
FATCA if such Lender or Issuing Bank were to fail to comply with any requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b)
or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall deliver to the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative
Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the applicable Borrowers or the applicable
Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by any Requirement of Tax Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)
of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent
as may be necessary for the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA,
to determine whether such Lender or Issuing Bank has or has not complied with such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s obligations
under FATCA and to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and withhold from such payment. To the extent that the relevant documentation
provided pursuant to this paragraph is rendered obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect as a result of changes in circumstances
with respect to the status of a Lender or Issuing Bank, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall, to the extent permitted by Requirement of Tax
Law, deliver to the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent revised or updated documentation sufficient for the applicable
Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent to confirm as to whether such Lender or Issuing Bank has complied with its obligations
under FATCA. Solely for purposes of this clause (F), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after
the date of this Agreement.
116
Each Lender or Issuing Bank agrees that if any
form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification
or promptly notify the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f) Each
Lender and Issuing Bank shall indemnify the applicable Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank (including any Taxes attributable
to such Lender or Issuing Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.4(c) relating to the maintenance of a
Participant Register) and that are payable or paid by the applicable Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, together
with all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the applicable
Administrative Agent in good faith, 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 or Issuing Bank by the applicable Administrative
Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the applicable Administrative Agent to
set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by
the applicable Administrative Agent to the Lender or Issuing Bank from any other source against any amount due to the applicable Administrative
Agent under this Section 2.19(f).
(g) If
any Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank 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 by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 2.19, it shall pay over an amount equal to such refund to the applicable Loan Party within a reasonable period (but
only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.19 with respect
to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Agent or such Lender or Issuing
Bank and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided,
that such Loan Party, upon the request of such Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan
Party pursuant to this Section 2.19(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority)
to such Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank in the event such Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to
such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will any Agent, Lender or Issuing
Bank be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place such Agent, Lender or
Issuing Bank in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank would have been in if the Tax subject
to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments
or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 2.19(g) shall not be construed to require any
Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential)
to any Loan Party or any other Person.
117
(h) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 2.19 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Agent or any assignment of
rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge
of all obligations under any Loan Document.
2.20 Payments Generally;
Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether
of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19,
or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or if no such time
is expressly required, prior to 1:00 p.m. New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off
or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the applicable Administrative Agent, be
deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments to
the Term BLoan
A Agent shall be made at its offices at 520 Madison Avenue New York, New York 10022,
and all such payments toor the
Revolver Administrative Agent shall be made at its offices at 245 Park
Avenue151 W 42nd St., 8th
floor, New York, NY 1016710036,
except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section
2.17, 2.18, 2.19, or 9.3 or
pursuant to the Dutch Auction Procedures shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments
pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The applicable Administrative Agent shall
distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient recorded in the
Register promptly following receipt thereof. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any payment under any Loan Document shall be
due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case
of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan
Document of principal or interest in respect of any Loan (or of any breakage indemnity in respect of any Loan) shall be made in the
currency of such Loan and, except as otherwise set forth in any Loan Document, all other payments under each Loan Document shall be
made in US Dollars. Any Term Loans paid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
(b) If
at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Revolver Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest
and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to
such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.
(c) If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, or interest
on, any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate
amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations
in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably
in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements;
provided, that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the
express terms of this Agreement (including Sections 2.21(b) or (c), 2.23, 2.24,
and 2.25 and 9.4(g)
or pursuant to the terms of any Permitted Amendment) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale
of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant permitted under this Agreement.
Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring
a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against any Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect
to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.
118
(d) Unless
the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the such Borrower will not make such
payment, the applicable Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and
may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such
event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees
to repay to the applicable Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with
interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
applicable Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.
(e) If
any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.7(d) or (e), 2.8(b), 2.20(d)
or 8.7, then the applicable Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply
any amounts thereafter received by the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations
under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
2.21 Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.17, or if any Borrower is
required to pay any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority
for the account of any Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.19, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or
Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.19,
as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and
would not otherwise cause material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage to such Lender or Issuing Bank. Each applicable
Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented (in reasonable detail) out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any
Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.
119
(b) If
any Lender (or any Participant in the Loans held by such Lender) requests compensation under Section 2.17, or if any Borrower is
required to pay any Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional amount to any Lender (or its Participant) or any Governmental Authority
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then applicable Borrowers
may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the applicable Administrative Agent, either (i) require such Lender
to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.4), all its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (other than surviving rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.17 or 2.19)
and the related Loan Documents to an assignee (other than a Disqualified Lender) that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may
be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that (A) the applicable Borrowers shall have received the prior
written consent of the applicable Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, to the extent consent for an Assignment and Assumption would
be required by such Person pursuant to Section 9.4, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations
in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent
of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (C) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.17 or payments required to be made pursuant
to Section 2.19, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, or (ii) so long as no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all obligations of the applicable
Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date. A Lender shall
not be required to make any such assignment and delegation, or to have its Commitments terminated and its obligations hereunder repaid,
if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Borrowers to require
such assignment and delegation, or to terminate such Commitments and repay such obligations, cease to apply.
(c) If
any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge
or termination which pursuant to the terms of Section 9.2 requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all affected Lenders or
all Lenders or all affected Lenders of a certain Class or Classes or with respect to a certain Class or Classes of the Loans and with
respect to which the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders or the Required Term Lenders with respect to the applicable Class or
Classes shall have granted their consent, then the applicable Borrowers shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants
such consent) to either (i) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign all or the affected portion
of its Loans and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the applicable Administrative Agent (other
than a Disqualified Lender); provided, that (A) all Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreements,
Cash Management Obligations, contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations, in each case, which are not then due and payable)
of the applicable Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently
with such assignment (including any amount owed pursuant to Section 2.12(e), if applicable), (B) the replacement Lender shall purchase
the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon,
(C) in connection with any such assignment the applicable Borrowers, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise
comply with Section 9.4 (including obtaining the consent of the applicable Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank if so required
thereunder); provided, that, if the required Assignment and Assumption is not executed and delivered by such Non-Consenting Lender,
such Non-Consenting Lender will be unconditionally and irrevocably deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption
as of the date such Non-Consenting Lender receives payment in full of the Obligations (other than Obligations in respect of any Specified
Hedge Agreements, Cash Management Obligations, contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations, in each case, which are not then
due and payable) of the applicable Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender, (D) the replacement Lender shall pay any processing
and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.4(b)(ii)(C), if applicable, in accordance with the terms of such Section and (E) the
replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination, or (ii)
so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, terminate the Commitment of such Non-Consenting Lender
and repay all obligations of the applicable Borrowers owing to such Lender relating to the Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lender as
of such termination date; provided, that such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause
the adoption of the applicable waiver or amendment of the applicable Loan Document or Loan Documents.
120
(d) Each
Lender agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this Section 2.21, it shall execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative
Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent any Note
(if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided, that the failure
of any Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.21 to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Notes shall not render
such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and the Notes
shall be deemed cancelled upon such failure. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the applicable Administrative Agent (such appointment
being coupled with an interest) as such Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Lender and
in the name of such Lender, from time to time in the applicable Administrative Agent’s discretion, with prior written notice to
such Lender, to take any action and to execute any such Assignment and Assumption or other instrument that the applicable Administrative
Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of clause (b) or (c) of this Section 2.21.
2.22 Defaulting
Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, so
long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) commitment
fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(a);
121
(b) the
Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required
Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders or other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent
to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.2); provided, that this paragraph shall not apply to
the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each
Lender affected thereby if such amendment, waiver or modification would adversely affect such Defaulting Lender compared to other similarly
affected Lenders; provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or modification that would require the consent of a Defaulting
Lender under clause (1), (2), (3) or (6) of Section 9.2(b) may be made without the consent of such
Defaulting Lender.
(c) if
any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:
(i) all
or any part of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their
respective Applicable Percentages in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility but only to the extent (A) the sum of all non-Defaulting
Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposure plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit does not exceed
the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments and (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure of each non-Defaulting
Lender after giving effect to such reallocation does not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such non-Defaulting Lender;
(ii) if
the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Revolver Borrowers shall, without
prejudice to any other right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Requirements of Law, within three (3) Business Days
following notice by the Revolver Administrative Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of each applicable Issuing Bank only the applicable
Revolver Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial
reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.7(j) for so long as
such LC Exposure is outstanding or make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Revolver Administrative Agent and to the applicable
Issuing Bank with respect to such LC Exposure and obligations to fund participations;
(iii) if
the Revolver Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above,
the such Revolver Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13(b) with respect
to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized except
to the extent of such fees that became due and payable by any such Revolver Borrower prior to the date such Lender became a Defaulting
Lender (it being understood that any cash collateral provided pursuant to this Section 2.22(c) shall be released promptly following
the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender);
122
(iv) if
the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders
pursuant to Section 2.13(a) and Section 2.13(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’
Applicable Percentages;
(v) if
all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause
(i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all
fees payable under Section 2.13(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to each applicable
Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;
(d) so
long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless
it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered
by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the applicable Revolver Borrowers
in accordance with Section 2.22(c), and participating interests in any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated
among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein);
and
(e) if
a Defaulting Lender has Revolving Credit Commitments, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender
to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit, the Applicable Percentage of each non-Defaulting Lender with a Revolving
Credit Commitment, shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Defaulting Lender.
In the event that the Revolver
Administrative Agent, the Revolver Borrowers and each Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters
that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of
such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par (plus such amount, if any, that would
otherwise be reimbursable by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.18 as a result of such purchase on such date) such of the Loans
of the other Lenders, if any, as the Revolver Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such
Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, and such Lender shall then cease to be a Defaulting Lender with respect to subsequent
periods unless such Lender shall thereafter become a Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the fact that any Defaulting Lender has adequately
remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, (x) no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to
fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Revolver Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender and (y) except to the
extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, subject to
Section 9.21 (Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions), no change hereunder from Defaulting
Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been
a Defaulting Lender.
123
2.23 Incremental
Facilities. (a) At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (I) the Term Loan
Borrower may, by notice to the Term Loan BA
Agent and/or (II) in the case of an Incremental Term Loan A Facility only, the Term Borrower or
otherwise the Revolver Borrowers may, by notice to the Revolver Administrative Agent (whereupon, in each case,
the applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each of the applicable Lenders):
(i) request
to incur (x) additional Term Loans which are structured as a term loan A
facilityunder the Term Loan A Facility
or add one or more additional tranches of term loans, which may be secured on a junior or pari passu basis or unsecured (the “Incremental
Term Loan A Facility” and the term loans funded thereunder, the “Incremental Term A Loans”) or (y) additional
Term Loans under the Term Loan B Facilitywhich
are structured as a term loan B facility or add one
or more additional tranches of term loans, which may be secured on a junior or pari passu basis or unsecured (the “Incremental
Term Loan B Facility” and the term loans funded thereunder, the “Incremental Term B Loans”); and/or
(ii) request
to incur one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Commitments (an “Incremental Revolving Increase”) and/or add
one or more incremental revolving credit facility tranches (an “Incremental Revolving Tranche”, each such Incremental
Revolving Tranche or Incremental Revolving Increase, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”, and each such Incremental
Revolving Commitment, Incremental Term A Loan or Incremental Term B Loan, an “Incremental Facility”, and any such Incremental
Facility and any Incremental Equivalent Debt, “Incremental Debt”).
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, without the consent of the Required Lenders, the aggregate amount of the Incremental Facilities shall not exceed,
at any time, the sum of (i) $300.0the
greater of (1) $500.0 million and (2) 67% of Consolidated EBITDA
on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amounts as the most recent test period for which financial
statements have been delivered to the Agents pursuant to Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b), as applicable, plus (ii) all voluntary prepayments,
debt buybacks (to the extent of the actual cash price paid in connection with such buybacks) and any prepayments, repayments, refinancing,
substitutions or replacements of any portion of the Term Loans of any Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 2.21(c)(ii), or
any other voluntary prepayments of Incremental Debt that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari passu with the Liens securing
the Term Loan Facility, in each case made prior to the date of incurrence of such Incremental Debt (other than in connection with any
refinancing of such Loans or other Incremental Debt or to the extent otherwise financed with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness) and,
in the case of voluntary prepayments of a revolving credit facility, solely to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment
reduction (the amount under clauses (i) and (ii), the “Incremental Dollar Basket”) plus (iii) an unlimited
amount (any such Incremental Debt, in each case to the extent incurred under this clause (iii), “Ratio-Based Incremental
Debt”) so long as, in the case of this clause (iii), upon the effectiveness of the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment
or the relevant documentation relating to other Incremental Debt, as the case may be, (x) (A) in the case of Incremental Debt that is
secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is pari passu with the Liens securing the Term Loan Facility or (B) in the case of Incremental
Debt that is secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is junior to the Liens securing the Term Loan Facility, the First Lien Net Leverage
Ratio calculated on a Pro Forma Basis giving effect to such Incremental Debt and the use of the proceeds thereof (but it being understood
that the proceeds from such Incremental Debt shall not be used for netting indebtedness, and any such Incremental Facility that is a revolving
credit facility shall be deemed to be fully drawn on the effective date thereof, and any junior lien Indebtedness incurred in reliance
on the Ratio-Based Incremental Debt shall be deemed ranking pari passu in priority of security to the Obligations in respect of the Facilities
at all times for any purpose of the calculation of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio), does not exceed 1.25:1.001.50:1.00
and (y) in the case of Incremental Debt that is unsecured, the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio calculated on a Pro Forma Basis giving effect
to such Incremental Debt and the use of the proceeds thereof (but it being understood that the proceeds from such Incremental Debt shall
not be used for netting indebtedness and any such Incremental Facility that is a revolving credit facility shall be deemed to be fully
drawn on the effective date thereof) shall not be less than 2.00:1.00. Unless elected otherwise by the applicable Borrowers, any Incremental
Debt shall be deemed to have been incurred first, in reliance on the Ratio-Based Incremental Debt to the extent thereof, and second, in
reliance on the Incremental Dollar Basket to the extent thereof. Incremental Debt may be incurred contemporaneously in reliance on the
Ratio-Based Incremental Debt and in reliance on the Incremental Dollar Basket, and proceeds from any such incurrence may be utilized in
a single transaction, by first calculating the amount available to be incurred in reliance on the Ratio-Based Incremental Debt and disregarding
any concurrent utilization of the Incremental Dollar Basket. Any utilization of the Incremental Dollar Basket may be reclassified at any
time, as the applicable Borrower may elect from time to time, as incurred under the Incremental Ratio Basket if the applicable Borrower
satisfies, on a pro forma basis, the applicable leverage or coverage ratio at such time. All Incremental Term A Loans, Incremental Term
B Loans and all Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1.0 million and in an aggregate principal amount
that is not less than $5.0 million (or in such lesser minimum amount agreed by the applicable Administrative Agent (such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)); provided, that such amount may be less than the applicable minimum amount if
such amount represents all the remaining availability in respect of the Incremental Facilities.
124
(b) Any
Incremental Facility (other than an Incremental Revolving Increase and an Incremental Term BA
Loan that is an increase to the Term Loan BA
Facility) (i) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment to the Obligations in respect of the other outstanding Term Loans
and Revolving Credit Commitments or may be unsecured, in each case as set forth in the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment (which
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent) and shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary that is not also
a Guarantor and, if secured, shall be secured on a pari passu or junior basis, by the same Collateral securing the Facilities (which
Liens shall be subject to intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent
and the applicable Borrowers), (ii) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated substantially the same as (or, to the extent set forth
in the relevant Incremental Facility Amendment, less favorably than) the other outstanding Loans and (iii) other than with respect to
amortization, maturity date and pricing (including interest rate, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums) and, to the extent
permitted pursuant to clause (i) above, ranking of right of payment and/or security, shall have the same terms as the Facilities
or such terms that are, when taken as a whole, not materially more favorable (as reasonably determined by the applicable Borrowers in
good faith) to the lenders providing such Incremental Facility than the terms and conditions, taken as a whole, applicable to the then
existing Facilities (except with respect to covenants (including any financial maintenance covenant added for the benefit of lenders providing
such Incremental Facility) and other provisions so long as such covenants or other provisions (1) are also added for the benefit of the
Lenders of under the Facilities or (2) only become applicable after the Latest Maturity Date of the then outstanding Facilities at the
time of such incurrence of such Incremental Facility); provided, that (A) if the effective yield (whether in the form of interest
rate margins, original issue discount, upfront fees or a “floor”, with such increased amount being equated to interest margin
for purposes of determining any increase to the applicable interest margin under the Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility,
as applicable) payable to all Lenders providing such Incremental Facility (but excluding any bona fide arrangement, underwriting, structuring,
syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Lenders (in their capacity as such) providing such
Incremental Facility) on such Incremental Facility determined as of the initial funding date for such Incremental Facility exceeds the
effective yield (determined on same basis as the preceding parenthetical) on the Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility or any
then-existing Incremental Term A Loans, Incremental Term B
Loans and/or Incremental Revolving Tranches that are secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations (“Pari Passu Incremental
Loans/Tranches”), as applicable, immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment by
more than 0.50%, the Applicable Margin relating to the Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu
Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable, shall be adjusted and/or the applicable Borrowers will pay additional fees to Lenders under
the Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable, in order
that such effective yield on such Incremental Facility shall not exceed such effective yield on the Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit
Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches made on or prior to the date that is 12 months after the EighthNinth
Amendment Effective Date by more than 0.50% (provided, that if such adjustment is required due to the application of a higher interest
rate benchmark floor on such Incremental Facility, such adjustment shall be effected solely through an increase in the interest rate benchmark
floor of the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable (or if
no interest rate benchmark floor applies to the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches,
as applicable, at such time, an interest rate benchmark floor shall be added)), (B) any Incremental Term A
Loans or Incremental Term B Loans shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of the then
remaining Term BA
Loans or then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches and any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall not have a final maturity
date earlier than the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (C) any Incremental Term A
Loans or Incremental Term B Loans shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is shorter than the Weighted Average
Life to Maturity of the later of the then remaining Term BA
Loans or then existing Incremental Term A Loans or Incremental
Term B Loans, as applicable (determined, solely for the purposes of this clause (C), without giving effect to prepayments that
reduced amortization of the then remaining Term BA
Loans). Any Incremental Revolving Increase shall be on terms identical to the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Revolving Credit
Facility proposed to be increased thereby and, for the avoidance of doubt, such Incremental Revolving Increase shall be deemed a Revolving
Credit Commitment of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment (it being understood
that an Incremental Facility establishing Incremental Revolving Increase will not create a separate Revolving Credit Facility and such
Incremental Revolving Increase shall be deemed a part of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility); provided that the Applicable
Margin or the Revolving Commitment Fee Rate, in each case applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of
such Revolving Credit Facility, may be increased, without the consent of any Lender, in connection with the incurrence of any Incremental
Revolving Increase such that the Applicable Margin or the Revolving Commitment Fee Rate, as applicable, of such Revolving Credit Commitments
are identical to those of the Incremental Revolving Increase, but additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders participating
in the Incremental Revolving Increase without any requirement to pay such amounts to any existing Revolving Credit Lenders. Any Incremental
Term BA
Loan that is an increase to the Term Loan BA
Facility shall be on terms identical to such Term Loan Facility proposed to be increased thereby and, for the avoidance of doubt, such
Incremental Term BA
Loan, as applicable, shall be deemed a Term Loan of the Term Loan Facility pursuant
to the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment (it being understood that an Incremental Facility establishing such Incremental Term
BA
Loan will not create a separate Term Loan Facility and such Incremental Term BA
Loan shall be deemed a part of the Term Loan Facility); provided that the Applicable Margin applicable to the Term Loan A
Facility may be increased, without the consent of any Lender, in connection with the incurrence of any such Incremental Term Loan BA
Facility or Incremental Term Loan B Facility, as applicable such that the Applicable
Margin of such Term Loan A Facility are identical to those
of such Incremental Term BA
Loans, as applicable, but additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to
the lenders participating in such Incremental Term BA
Loans, as applicable, without any requirement to pay such amounts to any existing
Term Loan Lenders.
125
(c) Each
notice from the applicable Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the
relevant Incremental Term B Loans and/or Incremental Revolving CommitmentsFacility
(including whether they will rank pari passu with, or junior in right of payment to, and pari passu with, or junior in priority
of security to, the Obligations in respect of the other outstanding Facilities or will be unsecured). Any Additional Lenders that elect
to extend Incremental Term B Loans orany
Incremental Revolving CommitmentsFacility
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Borrowers, and (unless such Additional Lender is already a Lender or an Affiliate of
a Lender) the applicable Administrative Agent and, with respect to any Incremental Revolving Commitment, each Issuing Bank (in each case,
any approval thereof not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and, if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under
this Agreement pursuant to an Incremental Facility Amendment. Each Incremental Facility shall become effective pursuant to an amendment
(each, an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed
by the applicable Borrowers, such Additional Lender or Additional Lenders and the applicable Administrative Agent. No Incremental Facility
Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders or any other Person other than the applicable Borrowers, the applicable Administrative
Agent and the Additional Lenders with respect to such Incremental Facility Amendment. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Term
Loan BA
Agent to enter into Incremental Facility Amendments and, as appropriate, amendments to the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in
order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of the existing Term Loans and such other amendments as may be necessary or
appropriate in the opinion of the Term Loan BA
Agent and the Term Loan Borrower to effect the provisions of this Section 2.23 (including to provide for class voting provisions
applicable to the Additional Lenders on terms comparable to the provisions of Section 9.2(b) and including, for the avoidance of
doubt, to provide for and reflect junior ranking in right of payment and/or junior priority in respect of Liens on Collateral, or the
unsecured nature of such Incremental Facility, as applicable and as permitted pursuant to this Section 2.23). No Lender shall be
obligated to provide any Incremental Term B Loans or Incremental Revolving CommitmentsFacility
unless it so agrees. Commitments in respect of any Incremental Term B Loans or Incremental Revolving
CommitmentsFacility shall become Commitments
under this Agreement. The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Administrative
Agent and the Additional Lenders party thereto, be subject to (i) the payment in full of all fees and expenses owing to the applicable
Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of such Incremental Facility, to the extent invoiced prior to such date, and (ii) the
satisfaction or waiver on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of (x) the representations
and warranties made by any Loan Party in or pursuant to the Loan Documents being true and correct in all material respects on and as of
Incremental Facility Closing Date as if made on and as of such date, except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate
to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of
such earlier date (provided, that in each case such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations or warranties
that already are qualified or modified by materiality or “Material Adverse Effect”); provided, that, (x) in
connection with the incurrence of any Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction, then the only representations and warranties that
will be required to be true and correct in all material respects as of the applicable Incremental Facility Closing Date shall be (A) the
Specified Representations and (B) such of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the applicable acquired company or
business (or the seller thereof) in the applicable acquisition agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to
the extent that Parent (or any Subsidiary of Parent) has the right to terminate the obligations of Parent or such Subsidiary under such
acquisition agreement or not consummate such acquisition as a result of the inaccuracy of such representations or warranties in such acquisition
agreement and (y) no Default or Event of Default (or, in the case of any Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction, and to the extent
agreed to by the lenders and other investors providing such Incremental Facilities, no Specified Event of Default) having occurred and
being continuing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date or after giving effect to the Incremental Facility requested to be made on such
date. To the extent reasonably requested by the applicable Administrative Agent, the effectiveness of an Incremental Facility Amendment
may be conditioned on the applicable Administrative Agent’s receipt of customary legal opinions with respect thereto, board resolutions
and officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section
4.1, with respect to Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries. Upon each Revolving Credit Increase pursuant to this Section 2.23,
each Revolving Credit Lender under such Revolving Credit Facility immediately prior to such increase will automatically and without further
act be deemed to have assigned to each Lender providing a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitment (each an “Incremental
Revolving Lender”) in respect of such increase, and each such Incremental Revolving Lender will automatically and without further
act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Credit Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit
under the applicable Revolving Credit Facility such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations,
the percentage of the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit held by each Revolving Credit Lender in such
Revolving Credit Facility (including each such Incremental Revolving Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Revolving Credit
Commitments of all Revolving Credit Lenders in such Revolving Credit Facility represented by such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving
Credit Commitment thereunder. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Revolver Administrative Agent may, in consultation with
the Revolver Borrowers, take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any Incremental
Revolving Increase, the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective
Applicable Percentages in respect of the applicable Revolving Credit Facility. The foregoing may be accomplished at the discretion of
the Revolver Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Revolver Borrowers, (A) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Credit
Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of a new Revolving Credit Borrowing, (B) by causing non-increasing Revolving Credit Lenders to assign
portions of their outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to new or increasing Revolving Credit Lenders, (C) by a combination of the foregoing
or (D) by any other means agreed to by the Revolver Administrative Agent and the Revolver Borrowers, and any such prepayment or assignment
shall be subject to Section 2.18 but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty. The Administrative Agents and the Lenders hereby
agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not
apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Term
BA
Loans are not Otherother
Term Loans, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.3 required to be made after the making of such Incremental Term
BA
Loans, as applicable, shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount
of such Incremental Term BA
Loans.
126
(d) At
any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Term Loan Borrower may, subject to providing
notice to the Term Loan BA
Agent (whereupon such Term Loan BA
Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders), issue one or more series of Incremental Equivalent Debt in
an aggregate outstanding principal amount not to exceed, as of the date of the issuance of any such Incremental Equivalent Debt, the aggregate
amount of Incremental Facilities then permitted to be incurred under Section 2.23(a); provided, that solely in respect of
any Incremental Equivalent Debt constituting term loans secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations, if the effective yield
(which, for such purpose only, shall be deemed to take account of interest rate margin and any then applicable benchmark floors, recurring
fees and all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (1) the weighted average life of such Incremental
Equivalent Debt and (2) four years) payable to all lenders or investors providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt (but excluding any
bona fide arrangement, underwriting, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all
lenders or investors (in their capacity as such) providing such Incremental Equivalent Debt)) on such Incremental Equivalent Debt determined
as of the initial funding date for such Incremental Equivalent Debt exceeds the effective yield (determined on same basis as the preceding
parenthetical) on the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility or any then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable,
immediately prior to the effectiveness of the definitive documentation of such Incremental Equivalent Debt by more than 0.50%, the Applicable
Margin relating to the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable,
shall be adjusted and/or the Term Loan Borrower will pay additional fees to Lenders holding the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments
or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable, in order that such effective yield on such Incremental Equivalent
Debt shall not exceed such effective yield on the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental
Loans/Tranches by more than 0.50% (provided, that if such adjustment is required due to the application of a higher interest rate
benchmark floor on such Incremental Equivalent Debt, such adjustment shall be effected solely through an increase in the interest rate
benchmark floor of the Term Loans or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable (or if no interest rate benchmark
floor applies to the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility or such then existing Pari Passu Incremental Loans/Tranches, as applicable,
at such time, an interest rate benchmark floor shall be added)). As conditions precedent to the issuance of any Incremental Equivalent
Debt pursuant to this Section 2.23, (i) the Term Loan Borrower shall deliver to the Term Loan BA
Agent a certificate of the Term Loan Borrower dated as of the date of issuance of the Incremental Equivalent Debt signed by a Responsible
Officer of the Term Loan Borrower, certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Term Loan Borrower approving or consenting
to the execution and delivery of the applicable financing documentation in respect of such Incremental Equivalent Debt and the issuance
of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, and certifying that the conditions precedent set forth in the following subclauses (ii) through
(vi) have been satisfied, (ii) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and shall not
have guarantees from any Subsidiary that is not also a Guarantor and if secured, shall not be secured by any assets of the Group Members
not constituting Collateral, (iii) such Incremental Equivalent Debt shall have a final maturity no earlier than the date permitted with
respect to Incremental Term BA
Loans pursuant to clause (B) of the proviso in Section 2.23(b) (provided that any such Indebtedness in the form of
bridge notes or bridge loans in either case with a maturity of less than 12 months shall not be required to meet the requirement in this
clause (iii) so long as such bridge notes or bridge loans provide for automatic conversion, subject to customary conditions, into
“permanent” financing that satisfies such requirement), (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Equivalent
Debt shall not be shorter than that permitted for Incremental Term BA
Loans pursuant to clause (C) of the proviso in Section 2.23(b) (provided that any such Indebtedness in the form of
bridge notes or bridge loans in either case with a maturity of less than 12 months shall not be required to meet the requirement in this
clause (iv) so long as such bridge notes or bridge loans provide for automatic conversion, subject to customary conditions, into
“permanent” financing that satisfies such requirement), (v) no Default or Event of Default (or, in the case of any Incremental
Equivalent Debt incurred to fund a Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction, and to the extent agreed to by the Persons providing
such Incremental Equivalent Debt, no Specified Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the issuance
of such Incremental Equivalent Debt and (vi) all fees and expenses owing to the Term Loan BA
Agent and the Lenders or other financial institutions in respect of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, to the extent invoiced prior to
such date, shall have been paid in full.
127
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any Incremental
Term A Loans or Incremental Term B Loans (or Incremental Equivalent Debt), the proceeds of which are to be used by the Term
Loan Borrower or any other Group Member to finance, in whole or in part, a Permitted Acquisition or any other Investment permitted under
Section 6.7, in each case, that is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing (each such transaction,
a “Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction”), for purposes of determining (x) compliance with any financial
ratio (other than the Financial Maintenance Covenant), (y) accuracy of representations and warranties (other than Specified Representations,
which shall be accurate in all material respects as of the Incremental Facility Closing Date or the date of incurrence of such Incremental
Equivalent Debt, as the case may be) or occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, or (z) availability under baskets (including baskets
measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets), in each case, in connection with such Limited Conditionality
Incremental Transaction and any related incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens under Section 6.2, 6.3 or 6.10, the Term
Loan Borrower shall have the option of making any such determinations as of the date the definitive agreement related to such Limited
Conditionality Incremental Transaction is signed or on the date that such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction is consummated.
If the Borrowers elect to make such determinations as of the date the definitive agreement related to such Limited Conditionality Incremental
Transaction is signed, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket on or following the date of such election
under this Agreement and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction is consummated
or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction is terminated or expires without
consummation of such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated (A) on a Pro Forma Basis
assuming such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence
of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated until such time as the applicable Limited Conditionality Incremental
Transaction has actually closed or the definitive agreement with respect thereto has been terminated and (B) on a standalone basis without
giving effect to such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction and the other transactions in connection therewith.
2.24 Replacement
Facilities. (a) At any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the applicable
Borrowers may, by notice to the applicable Administrative Agent (whereupon the applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly
deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request to replace all or a portion of the Term Loans under any Facility with one or more
additional tranches of term loans under this Agreement (the “Replacement Term Loans”) or replace all or a portion
of the Revolving Credit Facility with a new revolving credit facility under this Agreement (the “Replacement Revolving
Credit Facility”; each such replacement facility, a “Replacement Facility”), which may be equal or
junior to the Term Loans in right of payment and may be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Term Loans
or secured by the Collateral on a junior basis to the Term Loans. Each tranche of Replacement Term Loans shall be in an integral
multiple of $1.0 million and be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20.0 million (or such lesser minimum amount
approved by the applicable Administrative Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall
not exceed the principal amount of the Term Loans being replaced (plus the amount of fees, expenses and original issue discount
incurred in connection with such Replacement Term Loans). The amount of each Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall not exceed
the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility being replaced (plus the amount of fees, expenses, original issue discount, and upfront
fees incurred in connection with such Replacement Revolving Credit Facility). The Net Cash Proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans
shall be applied only to prepay the Term Loans of the Class of Term Loans that such Replacement Term Loans are replacing.
128
(b) Any
Replacement Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and security with or to the Obligations in respect of the
Revolving Credit Commitments and the other Term Loans pursuant to the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment (which shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent) and (ii) other than voluntary prepayment, maturity date, conditions precedent and
pricing (including interest rate, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums) (as set forth in the relevant Replacement Facility
Amendment) shall have terms, when taken as a whole, not materially more favorable (as determined by the Term Loan Borrower in good faith)
to the lenders or investors providing such Replacement Term Loans than the terms applicable to the Term Loans being replaced (except with
respect to covenants (including any financial maintenance covenant added for the benefit of lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans)
and other provisions so long as such covenants or other provisions (1) are also added for the benefit of all then outstanding Term Loans
or (2) only become applicable after the Latest Maturity Date of the then outstanding Term Loans at the time of such incurrence of such
Replacement Term Loans); provided, that (A) any Replacement Term Loans shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the final
scheduled maturity date of the Term Loans being replaced, (B) any Replacement Term Loans shall not have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity
that is shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the then remaining Term Loans under the applicable Class (determined, solely,
for the purposes of this clause (B), without giving effect to prepayments that reduced amortization of the then remaining Term
Loans under the applicable Class), (C) principal of and interest on any Term Loans being replaced with Replacement Term Loans shall be
paid in full on the Replacement Facility Closing Date for the applicable Replacement Term Loans and (D) the Term Loans of each Lender
under the replaced Class shall be prepaid ratably. The principal of and interest on any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans under any replaced
Revolving Credit Facility, together with all fees owed by the Revolver Borrowers under such Revolving Credit Facility, shall be paid in
full and all outstanding Letters of Credit will be replaced, cash collateralized or continued on terms reasonably satisfactory to the
Lenders under such Revolving Credit Facility, in each case on the Replacement Facility Closing Date for such Facility. Any Replacement
Revolving Credit Facility (x) shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the final scheduled maturity date of the replaced Revolving
Credit Facility and (y) shall be on the terms and pursuant to the documentation applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments under such
replaced Revolving Credit Facility (other than maturity date, conditions precedent and pricing (including interest rate, fees, funding
discounts and prepayment premiums)) or on such other terms that are, when taken as a whole, not materially more favorable (as determined
in good faith by the Revolver Borrowers) to the lenders or investors providing such Replacement Revolving Credit Facility than the terms
and conditions, taken as a whole, applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility being replaced (except with respect to covenants (including
any financial maintenance covenant added for the benefit of lenders providing such Replacement Revolving Credit Facility) and other provisions
so long as such covenants or other provisions (1) are also added for the benefit of all of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans
or (2) only become applicable after the Latest Maturity Date of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Loans at the time of such incurrence
of such Replacement Revolving Credit Facility), in each case, as set forth in the relevant Replacement Facility Amendment. The obligations
under any Replacement Facility shall not be guaranteed by any Subsidiary other than a Guarantor, and, if secured, the obligations under
any Replacement Facility shall not be secured by a Lien on any Property of any Group Member other than Property that constitutes Collateral.
In addition, the terms and conditions applicable to any Replacement Facility may provide for additional or different covenants or other
provisions that are agreed between the applicable Borrowers and the Lenders under such Replacement Facility and applicable only during
periods after the then Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the date such Replacement Facility is issued, incurred or obtained or
the date on which all non-refinanced Obligations (excluding Obligations in respect of any Specified Hedge Agreements, Cash Management
Obligations and contingent reimbursement and indemnification obligations, in each case, which are not then due and payable) are paid in
full. Any Replacement Term Loans that are junior in right of payment or security to any other Class of Term Loans will be subject to a
customary intercreditor agreement reasonably acceptable to the Term Loan Borrower and the Term Loan BA
Agent.
129
(c) Each
notice from the applicable Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the
relevant Replacement Term Loans and/or Replacement Revolving Credit Facility, including whether the proposed Replacement Term Loans will
be pari passu with or junior to any existing Term Loans in right of payment or security. Any Additional Lender that elects to extend
Replacement Term Loans or commitments under a Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall be reasonably satisfactory to the applicable
Borrowers and (unless such Additional Lender is already a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) the Revolver Administrative Agent, and,
if not already a Lender, shall become a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to a Replacement Facility Amendment. Each Replacement Facility
shall become effective pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Replacement Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as
appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the applicable Borrowers, such Additional Lender or Additional Lenders and the Revolver
Administrative Agent. No Replacement Facility Amendment shall require the consent of any Lenders or any other Person other than the applicable
Borrowers, the applicable Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders with respect to such Replacement Facility Amendment. The Lenders
hereby irrevocably authorize the applicable Administrative Agent to enter into the Replacement Facility Amendment and, as appropriate,
amendments to the other Loan Documents and intercreditor arrangements as may be necessary or appropriate in order to establish new tranches
or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans so replaced and such other amendments as may be necessary or
appropriate in the opinion of the applicable Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrowers to effect the provisions of this Section
2.24 (including to provide for class voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders on terms comparable to the provisions
of Section 9.2(b)). No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Replacement Term Loans or commitments for any Replacement Revolving
Credit Facility unless it so agrees. Commitments in respect of any Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall
become Commitments under this Agreement. The effectiveness of any Replacement Facility Amendment shall, unless otherwise agreed to by
the applicable Administrative Agent and the Additional Lenders party thereto, be subject to the satisfaction or waiver on the date thereof
(each, a “Replacement Facility Closing Date”) of (x) the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party in or
pursuant to the Loan Documents being true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Replacement Facility Closing Date as if
made on and as of such date, except for representations and warranties expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which
case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (provided,
that in each case such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations or warranties that already are qualified or
modified by materiality or “Material Adverse Effect”) and (y) no Default or Event of Default having occurred and being
continuing on the Replacement Facility Closing Date or after giving effect to the Replacement Facility requested to be made on such date.
The proceeds of any Replacement Term Loans or any Replacement Revolving Credit Facility will be applied, substantially concurrently with
the incurrence thereof, to the pro rata prepayment of the outstanding Loans under such replaced Facility (or replaced portion thereof).
To the extent reasonably requested by the applicable Administrative Agent, the effectiveness of a Replacement Facility Amendment may be
conditioned on the applicable Administrative Agent’s receipt of customary legal opinions with respect thereto, board resolutions
and officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section
4.1, with respect to Parent and the Restricted Subsidiaries. No Replacement Revolving Credit Facility may be implemented unless such
Facility has provisions reasonably satisfactory to the Revolver Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of
Credit then outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility being replaced. Only one Revolving Credit Facility shall be in effect at any
time; provided, that multiple tranches of Revolving Credit Commitments may be outstanding thereunder on the terms applicable thereto
pursuant to this Agreement and any applicable Permitted Amendments, and any Replacement Revolving Credit Facility shall replace the Revolving
Credit Facility under the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agents and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata
borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any of the transactions effected
pursuant to this Section 2.24.
130
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary above, at any time and from time to time following the establishment of a Class of Replacement Term Loans or
Commitments under a Replacement Revolving Credit Facility (“Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments”), the applicable
Borrowers may offer any Lender of a Term Loan Facility or then existing Revolving Credit Facility that has previously been subject to
a Replacement Facility Amendment (without being required to make the same offer to any or all other Lenders) who had not elected to participate
in such Replacement Facility Amendment on the applicable Replacement Facility Closing Date the right to convert all or any portion of
its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments into such Class of Replacement Term Loans or Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments,
as applicable; provided, that (i) such offer and any related acceptance shall be in accordance with such procedures, if any, as
may be reasonably requested by, or acceptable to, the applicable Administrative Agent; (ii) such additional Replacement Term Loans and
additional Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) shall be on identical terms (including as to the proposed interest rates and
fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not generally shared with
the relevant Lenders) with the existing Replacement Term Loans and Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, and (y) with
respect to any additional Replacement Term Loans, shall result in proportionate increases to the scheduled amortization payments otherwise
owing with respect to any such Replacement Term Loans, (iii) any Lender which elects to participate in a Replacement Facility pursuant
to this clause (d) shall enter into a joinder agreement to the respective Replacement Facility Amendment, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent and executed by such Lender, the applicable Administrative Agent and the
applicable Borrowers and (iv) any such additional Replacement Term Loans and additional Replacement Revolving Credit Commitments shall
be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $1.0 million (or, in the case of an outstanding Class with an entire outstanding
principal amount of existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments less than a $1.0 million that is to be refinanced in
full, such outstanding principal amount or commitments), unless each of the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent
otherwise consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Loans made as provided above shall be treated as part
of the Class to which such Loans are added, and shall not constitute a new Class of Replacement Term Loans or a new tranche of Replacement
Revolving Credit Commitments.
131
2.25 Extensions of Term
Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more
offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the applicable Borrowers to all Lenders of Term
Loans with a like maturity date or Revolving Credit Commitments with a like maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based
on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments with a like maturity
date, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the applicable Borrowers are hereby permitted to consummate
from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the
maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Term
Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the
interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or
modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term
Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans and the
original Revolving Credit Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall
constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans from the tranche of Term Loans from which they were extended, and any Extended Revolving
Credit Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Credit
Commitments from which they were extended), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) except as to pricing (including
interest rates, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums), conditions precedent and maturity (which shall be set forth in the
relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect
to such Revolving Credit Commitment (an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension
(an “Extended Revolving Credit Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Revolving Credit Commitment
(or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Credit Commitments (and related
outstandings); provided that (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates
on Extended Revolving Credit Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the
non-extending Revolving Credit Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of
commitments) of Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a
pro rata basis with all other Revolving Credit Commitments, (2) the permanent repayment of Revolving Credit Loans with respect to,
and termination of, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with
all other Revolving Credit Commitments, except that the Revolver Borrowers shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate
commitments of any such Class on a better than a pro rata basis as compared to any other Class with a later maturity date than such
Class, (3) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and extended Revolving Credit Loans shall be
governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans
and (4) at no time shall there be Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and any
original Revolving Credit Commitments) which have more than two (2) different maturity dates, (ii) (1) except as to pricing
(including interest rates, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums), amortization, maturity, required prepayment dates and
participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (ii)(2), (ii)(3) and (iii),
be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Term Loans of any Term Loan Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to
such Term Loans (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term
Loans”) shall have the same terms, or on terms that are, when taken as a whole, not materially more favorable (as
reasonably determined by Term Loan Borrower in good faith) to the Extending Term Lenders than the terms and conditions, taken as a
whole, applicable to, the tranche of Term Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except with respect to covenants (including any
financial maintenance covenant added for the benefit of Extending Term Lenders) and other provisions so long as such covenants or
other provisions (x) are also added for the benefit of all then outstanding Term Loans or (y) only become applicable after the
Latest Maturity Date of the then outstanding Term Loans at the time of such incurrence of such Extended Term Loans), (2) the
Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no less than 91 days longer than the remaining Weighted
Average Life to Maturity of the Class extended thereby, (3) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less
than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments of Term Loans
hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer (provided that if the applicable Extending Term
Lenders have the ability to decline mandatory prepayments, any such mandatory prepayment that is not accepted by the applicable
Extending Term Lenders shall be applied, subject to the right of any applicable Lender to decline mandatory prepayments (if any), to
the non-extended Term Loans of the Class being extended), (iii) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans (calculated on the
face amount thereof) or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, in respect of which Term Loan Lenders or Revolving Credit
Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of
Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the applicable Borrowers pursuant to such
Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, as the case may be, of such Term Loan Lenders or Revolving Credit
Lenders, as the case may be, shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not
to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Term Loan Lenders or Revolving Credit Lenders, as the case may be,
have accepted such Extension Offer and (iv) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the
foregoing.
132
(b) With
respect to all Extensions consummated by the applicable Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.25, (i) such Extensions shall not
constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of this Agreement and (ii) each Extension Offer shall specify the
minimum amount of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments to be tendered. The transactions contemplated by this Section 2.25
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans and/or Extended
Revolving Credit Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) shall not require the consent of any Lender
or any other Person (other than as set forth in clause (c) below), and the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including
Sections 2.12 and 2.20) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction
contemplated by this Section 2.25 shall not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.25.
(c) No
consent of any Lender or any other Person shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of the applicable
Borrowers and each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Term Loans and/or Revolving Credit Commitments
(or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the consent of each Issuing Bank, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and
all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral
on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably
authorize the applicable Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (an “Extension
Amendment”) with the applicable Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect
of Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion
of the applicable Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrowers to effect the provisions of this Section (including in connection
with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches or to provide for class voting provisions applicable to the Additional Lenders
on terms comparable to the provisions of Section 9.2(b)) in each case on terms consistent with this Section. In addition, if so
provided in such amendment and with the consent of the applicable Issuing Banks, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after
the Revolving Credit Maturity Date shall be re-allocated from Lenders holding Revolving Credit Commitments to Lenders holding Extended
Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance with the terms of such amendment; provided, however, that such participation
interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, be deemed to be participation
interests in respect of such Extended Revolving Credit Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including the commission
applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension the respective Loan
Parties shall (at their expense), within 90 days of the applicable Extension Amendment (or such later date as may be approved by the Collateral
Agent), amend (and the Collateral Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity
Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to
the Collateral Agent).
(d) In
connection with any Extension, the applicable Borrowers shall provide the applicable Administrative Agent at least five Business Days
(or such shorter period as may be agreed by the applicable Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such
procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit
facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the applicable Administrative Agent, in
each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.25.
133
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary above, at any time and from time to time following the establishment of a Class of Extended Term Loans or Extended
Revolving Credit Commitments, the applicable Borrowers may offer any Lender of a Term Loan Facility or Revolving Credit Facility that
had been subject to an Extension Amendment (without being required to make the same offer to any or all other Lenders) who had not elected
to participate in such Extension Amendment the right to convert all or any portion of its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments into
such Class of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, provided that (i) such offer and any
related acceptance shall be in accordance with such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably requested by, or acceptable to, the applicable
Administrative Agent; (ii) such additional Extended Term Loans and additional Extended Revolving Credit Commitments, (x) shall be on identical
terms (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable, but excluding any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable
in connection therewith that are not generally shared with the relevant Lenders) with the existing Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving
Credit Commitments, as applicable, and (y) with respect to any additional Extended Term Loans shall result in proportionate increases
to the scheduled amortization payments otherwise owing with respect to any such Extended Term Loans, (iii) any Lender which elects to
participate in an Extension Facility pursuant to this clause (e) shall enter into a joinder agreement to the respective Extension
Amendment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrative Agent and executed by such Lender, the applicable
Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrowers and the other Loan Parties and (iv) any such additional Extended Term Loans and additional
Extended Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $1.0 million (or, in the case of
an outstanding Class with an entire outstanding principal amount of existing Term Loans or existing Revolving Credit Commitments less
than a $1.0 million that is to be refinanced in full, such outstanding principal amount or commitments), unless each of the applicable
Borrowers and the applicable Administrative Agent otherwise consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Loans
made as provided above shall be treated as part of the Class to which such Loans are added, and shall not constitute a new Class of Extended
Term Loans or new Extended Revolving Credit Commitments.
2.26 Permitted Debt
Exchanges.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, a “Permitted Debt Exchange Offer”)
made from time to time by a Borrower to all Lenders (other than, with respect to any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer that constitutes an
offering of securities, any Lender that, if requested by such Borrower, is unable to certify that it is (i) a “qualified institutional
buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), (ii) an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in
Rule 501 under the Securities Act) or (iii) not a “U.S. person” (as defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act)) with outstanding
Term Loans of a particular Class, such Borrower may from time to time consummate one or more exchanges of such Term Loans for Indebtedness
(in the form of senior secured, senior unsecured, senior subordinated, or subordinated notes or loans) (such Indebtedness, “Permitted
Debt Exchange Notes” and each such exchange, a “Permitted Debt Exchange”), so long as the following conditions
are satisfied:
(i) each
such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall be made on a pro rata basis to the Lenders (other than, with respect to any Permitted Debt Exchange
Offer that constitutes an offering of securities, any Lender that, if requested by the Borrower, is unable to certify that it is (i) a
“qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act), (ii) an institutional “accredited
investor” (as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act) or (iii) not a “U.S. person” (as defined in Rule 902 under
the Securities Act)) of each applicable Class based on their respective aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Term Loans under each
such Class;
134
(ii) the
aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes shall not exceed the aggregate
principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of the Class or Classes of Term Loans so refinanced, and with respect to an amount
equal to any fees, expenses, commissions, underwriting discounts and premiums payable in connection with such Permitted Debt Exchange;
(iii) the
stated final maturity of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes is not earlier than the Latest Maturity Date for the Class or Classes of Term
Loans being exchanged, and such stated final maturity is not subject to any conditions that could result in such stated final maturity
occurring on a date that precedes such Latest Maturity Date (it being understood that acceleration or mandatory repayment, prepayment,
redemption or repurchase of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes upon the occurrence of an event of default, a change in control, an event
of loss or an asset disposition shall not be deemed to constitute a change in the stated final maturity thereof);
(iv) such
Permitted Debt Exchange Notes are not required to be repaid, prepaid, redeemed, repurchased or defeased, whether on one or more fixed
dates, upon the occurrence of one or more events or at the option of any holder thereof (except, in each case, upon the occurrence of
an event of default, a change in control, an event of loss or an asset disposition) prior to the Latest Maturity Date for the Class or
Classes of Term Loans being exchanged, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, scheduled amortization payments (however denominated,
including scheduled offers to repurchase) of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes shall be permitted so long as the Weighted Average Life
to Maturity of such Indebtedness shall be longer than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class or Classes of Term
Loans being exchanged;
(v) no
Subsidiary is a borrower or guarantor with respect to such Indebtedness unless such Subsidiary is or substantially concurrently becomes
a Loan Party;
(vi) if
such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes are secured, such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes are secured on a pari passu basis or junior priority
basis to the Obligations secured hereunder and (A) such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes are not secured by any assets not securing the Obligations
unless such assets substantially concurrently secure the Obligations and (B) the beneficiaries thereof (or an agent on their behalf) shall
become party to an intercreditor arrangement reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Agent and such Borrower;
135
(vii) the
terms and conditions of such Permitted Debt Exchange Notes shall be as agreed between such Borrower and the lenders providing such Permitted
Debt Exchange Notes;
(viii) all
Term Loans exchanged under each applicable Class by such Borrower pursuant to any Permitted Debt Exchange shall automatically be cancelled
and retired by such Borrower on date of the settlement thereof (and, if requested by the applicable Agent, any applicable exchanging Lender
shall execute and deliver to the applicable Agent an Assignment and Assumption, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by the
applicable Agent, in respect thereof pursuant to which the respective Lender assigns its interest in the Term Loans being exchanged pursuant
to the Permitted Debt Exchange to such Borrower for immediate cancellation), and accrued and unpaid interest on such Term Loans shall
be paid to the exchanging Lenders on the date of consummation of such Permitted Debt Exchange, or, if agreed to by such Borrower and the
applicable Agent, the next scheduled Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term Loans (with such interest accruing until the date
of consummation of such Permitted Debt Exchange);
(ix) if
the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) of a given Class tendered by Lenders in respect
of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds
the principal amount thereof of the applicable Class actually held by it) shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Term
Loans of such Class offered to be exchanged by such Borrower pursuant to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer, then such Borrower shall
exchange Term Loans under the relevant Class tendered by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum based on the respective principal amounts
so tendered, or, if such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall have been made with respect to multiple Classes without specifying a maximum
aggregate principal amount offered to be exchanged for each Class, and the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans (calculated on
the face amount thereof) of all Classes tendered by Lenders in respect of the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer (with no Lender being
permitted to tender a principal amount of Term Loans which exceeds the principal amount thereof actually held by it) shall exceed the
maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of all relevant Classes offered to be exchanged by such Borrower pursuant to such Permitted
Debt Exchange Offer, then such Borrower shall exchange Term Loans across all Classes subject to such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer tendered
by such Lenders ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts so tendered;
(x) all
documentation in respect of such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications generally
directed to the Lenders in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and made in consultation
with such Borrower and the applicable Agent; and
(xi) any
applicable Minimum Tender Condition or Maximum Tender Condition, as the case may be, shall be satisfied or waived by such Borrower.
136
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Loans or Term Loan Commitments exchanged pursuant
to any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer.
(b) With
respect to all Permitted Debt Exchanges effected by any Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.26, such Permitted Debt Exchange Offer
shall be made for not less than $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of a given Class, provided that subject
to the foregoing such Borrower may at its election specify (A) as a condition (a “Minimum Tender Condition”) to consummating
any such Permitted Debt Exchange that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in
such Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes be tendered and/or (B) as a condition (a “Maximum
Tender Condition”) to consummating any such Permitted Debt Exchange that no more than a maximum amount (to be determined and
specified in the relevant Permitted Debt Exchange Offer in such Borrower’s discretion) of Term Loans of any or all applicable Classes
will be accepted for exchange. The applicable Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Sections 2.10,
2.12, 2.14 and 2.20 do not apply to the Permitted Debt Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by this Section
2.26 and hereby agree not to assert any Default or Event of Default in connection with the implementation of any such Permitted Debt
Exchange or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.26.
(c) In
connection with each Permitted Debt Exchange, a Borrower shall provide the applicable Agent at least five (5) Business Days’ (or
such shorter period as may be agreed by the applicable Agent) prior written notice thereof, and such Borrower and the applicable Agent,
acting reasonably, shall mutually agree to such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section
2.26; provided that the terms of any Permitted Debt Exchange Offer shall provide that the date by which the relevant Lenders
are required to indicate their election to participate in such Permitted Debt Exchange shall be not less than five (5) Business Days following
the date on which the Permitted Debt Exchange Offer is made. The Borrower shall provide the final results of such Permitted Debt Exchange
to the applicable Agent no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of effectiveness for such Permitted Debt Exchange
(or such shorter period agreed to by the applicable Agent in its sole discretion) and the applicable Agent shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on such results.
2.27 MIRE Events.
Prior to the occurrence of a MIRE Event, each Borrower shall provide (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide as
promptly as reasonably possible prior to such MIRE Event) to the applicable Agent (and authorize the Revolving
Facilityapplicable Agent to provide
to the Term Loan A Lenders and the Lenders with a
Revolving Credit Commitment) the following documents in respect of any Mortgaged Property: (a) a completed flood hazard
determination from a third party vendor; (b) if such real property is located in a “special flood hazard area”, (i) a
notification to the applicable Loan Parties of that fact and (if applicable) notification to the applicable Loan Parties that flood
insurance coverage is not available and (ii) evidence of the receipt by the applicable Loan Parties of such notice; (c) if required
by Flood Laws, evidence of required flood insurance and (d) any other customary documentation that may be reasonably requested by
the applicable Agent.
137
2.28 Sustainability
Adjustment Amendment.
(a) Prior
to the 12 month anniversary of the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, the Revolver Borrowers, in consultation with the Revolver Administrative
Agent and the Sustainability Coordinator, may in their sole discretion establish specified key performance indicators with respect to
certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) goals, or identify certain external
ESG ratings, of the Parent and its Subsidiaries (such indicators or ratings, “KPI Metrics”),
which KPI Metrics shall be subject to thresholds or targets (in either case, such thresholds or targets, “SPTs”).
The Revolver Administrative Agent and the Revolver Borrowers (each acting reasonably and in consultation with the Sustainability Coordinator)
may propose an amendment to this Agreement (such amendment, an “ESG Amendment”) solely
for the purpose of incorporating the KPI Metrics, the SPTs and other related provisions (the “ESG Pricing Provisions”)
into this Agreement. Any such ESG Amendment shall become effective upon (i) the engagement by the Revolver Borrowers of Rabobank as the
sustainability coordinator (the “Sustainability Coordinator”) with respect to the
ESG Amendment on terms and conditions to be mutually agreed between the Revolver Borrowers and such Sustainability Structuring Agent,
(ii) receipt by the Revolving Credit Lenders of a lender presentation in regard to the KPI Metrics and SPTs from the Revolver Borrowers
no later than 20 Business Days before the proposed effective date of such proposed ESG Amendment, (iii) the posting of such proposed ESG
Amendment to all Revolving Credit Lenders and the Revolver Borrowers, (iv) the identification, and engagement at the Revolver Borrowers’
cost and expense, of a sustainability metric auditor, which shall be a qualified external reviewer of nationally recognized standing,
independent of the Parent and its Affiliates and (v) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of executed signature pages and consents
to such ESG Amendment from the Revolver Borrowers, the Revolver Administrative Agent and Revolving Credit Lenders comprising the Required
Revolving Lenders. Upon the effectiveness of any such ESG Amendment, based on the Revolver Borrowers’ performance against the KPI
Metrics and SPTs, certain adjustments (increase, decrease or no adjustment) (such adjustments, the “ESG Applicable
Rate Adjustments”) to the otherwise applicable Applicable Rate may be made; provided, that the amount of such
ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments shall not exceed an increase and/or decrease of 0.03%per annum in the aggregate for all KPI Metrics (the
provisions of this proviso, the “Sustainability Adjustment Limitations”). For the
avoidance of doubt the ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments shall not be cumulative year-over-year and shall apply on an annual basis only.
The KPI Metrics, the Revolver Borrowers’ performance against the KPI Metrics, and any related ESG Applicable Rate Pricing Adjustments
resulting therefrom, will be determined based on certain Borrower certificates, reports and other documents, in each case, setting forth
the KPI Metrics in a manner that is aligned with the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles (as last published in February 2023 by the
Loan Market Association, Asia Pacific Loan Market Association and Loan Syndications & Trading Association, and as further amended,
revised or updated from time to time), including with respect to the calculation, certification and measurement thereof. Following the
effectiveness of an ESG Amendment, any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions shall be subject only to the consent of the Revolver
Borrower, the Revolver Administrative Agent and the Required Revolving Lenders so long as such modification does not have the effect of
increasing or decreasing the Sustainability Adjustment Limitations set forth in the ESG Amendment.
138
(b)
Each party to this Agreement hereby agrees that the Revolving Credit Facility described in this Agreement is not and shall not be a sustainability-linked
loan unless and until the effectiveness of any ESG Amendment.
(c)
Other than increasing or decreasing the Sustainability Adjustment Limitations or (which,
for the avoidance of doubt, shall be subject to the consent of “each Lender directly affected
thereby” in accordance with Section 9.2), this Section 2.28 shall supersede any other clause or provision in Section 9.2 to the
contrary with respect to Revolving Credit Facility, including any provision of Section 9.2 requiring the consent of “each Lender
directly affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates with respect to Revolving Credit Facility
2.28 Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any
Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR
Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, then, upon
notice thereof by such Lender to the applicable Borrower (through the applicable Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”),
(a) any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to
SOFR Loans, shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which ABR Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined
by the applicable Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”, in each
case until each affected Lender notifies the applicable Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand
from any Lender (with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans to ABR Loans (the
interest rate on which ABR Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the applicable Administrative Agent without
reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all
affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue
to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount
so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.18.

The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which such Person is a party, the borrowings

in connection with the negotiation of any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto (as modified or supplemented
by other information so furnished but excluding projected financial information and information of a general economic, forward looking
or industry-specific nature), when taken as a whole, contained or contains as of the date the same was or is furnished any material misstatement
of fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were or are made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto), not materially misleading; provided,
that to the extent any such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule was based upon or constitutes a forecast, projection
or other forward looking statement, each of Parent and each other Borrower represents only that it acted in good faith based upon assumptions
believed by management of Parent or such other Borrower, as the case may be, to be reasonable at the time made and at the time furnished
(it being understood that forecasts and projections by their nature are inherently uncertain, that actual results may differ significantly
from the forecasted or projected results and that such differences may be material and no assurances are being given that the results
reflected in the forecasts and projections will be achieved).
144

Documents. (a) The Security Agreement and each other Collateral Document (other than any Mortgages) executed and delivered by a

security interest may be perfected only by possession or control, upon the taking of possession or control by the Collateral Agent
of such Collateral, and (iii) the other personal property Collateral described in the Collateral Documents, when financing
statements in appropriate form are filed in the appropriate filing offices, appropriate assignments or notices are filed in each
applicable IP Office and such other filings as are specified by the Security Agreement have been completed, the Lien on the
Collateral created by the Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title
and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral, as security for the Obligations, in each case prior to the Liens of any other
Person (except Permitted Liens).
(b) Each
of the Mortgages executed and delivered by a Loan Party is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, a legal, valid, binding and enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Properties described therein; and when the Mortgages are
filed or recorded in the offices of the official records of the county where the applicable Mortgaged Property is located, each Mortgage
shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged
Properties described therein, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each case prior and superior in
right to any other Person (other than Persons holding Liens or other encumbrances or rights permitted by the relevant Mortgage or the
Loan Documents, including Permitted Liens).

candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or

knowingly make available such proceeds to any Person (x) for the purpose of funding, financing, or facilitating any activities, business
or transaction of or with a Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or (y) in any manner that would result in a violation of
Sanctions by any party to this agreement. Each Group Member and Borrower will maintain policies and procedures reasonably designateddesigned
to ensure compliance with applicable Sanctions.
145
(c) No
Group Member nor to the knowledge of Parent, any director, officer, agent, employee, Affiliate or other person acting on behalf of Parent
or any of its Subsidiaries is aware of or has taken any action, directly or indirectly, that resulted in an actionable violation by such
persons of any applicable anti-bribery law, including but not limited to, the UK Bribery Act 2010 and the FCPA.
3.20 Broker’s or
Finder’s Commissions. No broker’s or finder’s fee or commission will be payable with respect to the execution

(c) all payments due from any Group Member, or for which any claim may be made against any Group Member, on account of wages and
employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of any such Group
Member. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of
any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Group Member is bound.
3.22 Representations as to
Foreign Obligors. Each of Parent and HIL represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders that:
(a) It
is, and each other Person that is a Foreign Obligor is, to the extent the concept is applicable in the relevant jurisdiction, subject

an environmental consulting firm to prepare such report at the expense of the Borrowers, and the Borrowers hereby grant and agree to cause
any Restricted Subsidiary that owns or leases the Mortgaged Property described in such request to grant at the time of such request to
the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agents, the Lenders, such firm and any agents or representatives thereof an irrevocable non-exclusive
license, subject to the rights of tenants or necessary consent of landlords, to enter onto their respective properties to undertake such
an assessment.

as of the date the definitive documentation for such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction is executed or the redemption or prepayment
notice is given, and the applicable financial ratios or tests and any other Pro Forma Transactions in connection therewith shall thereafter
be calculated and determined as if such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction were consummated on such date until consummated
or terminated; provided, further, that if the applicable Borrowers elect to have such determinations occur as of the date
of such definitive agreement or redemption or prepayment notice, any related incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens shall be deemed to have
occurred on such date and outstanding thereafter for purposes of subsequently calculating any ratios under this Agreement after such date
and before the consummation of such Limited Conditionality Incremental Transaction and to the extent baskets were utilized in satisfying
any covenants, such baskets shall be deemed utilized, but any calculation of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets for purposes

the date such Indebtedness was incurred or refinanced, in the case of term debt, or first committed or refinanced, in the case of revolving
credit debt; provided, that if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness
denominated in a Foreign Currency, and such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance would cause the applicable
US Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency Exchange Rate in effect on the date of such extension,
replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such US Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded
so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being extended,
replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased, plus the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs
and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing.
To the extent otherwise constituting
Indebtedness, the accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness
shall be deemed not to be Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 6.2. The principal amount of any non-interest bearing Indebtedness
or other discount security constituting Indebtedness at any date shall be the accreted amount thereof.

result of impacts of such Resolution upon revenue or income, marketing claims or practices, distributor compensation practices, or terms
or agreements with distributors or other purchasers of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries’ products; or

7.2 Right to
Cure.
(a) Financial
Maintenance Covenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.1, in the event that the Borrowers fail
to comply with the Financial Maintenance Covenant as of the last day of any fiscal quarter for which such Financial Maintenance Covenant
is tested, the Borrower shall have the right to give written notice (the “Cure Notice”), on or prior to the 10th
Business Day subsequent to the Cure Specified Date for such fiscal quarter, to the applicable Administrative Agents of the intent of Parent
to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash (collectively, the “Cure Right” and the amount of such proceeds, the “Cure
Amount”) after the Cure Specified Date for such fiscal quarter pursuant to the exercise by the Borrowers of such Cure Right,
which exercise shall be made after such Cure Specified Date on or before the 10th Business Day subsequent to such Cure Specified
Date, the Financial Maintenance Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following adjustments on a Pro Forma Basis:
(i) Consolidated
EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter and any subsequent four quarter period that contains such fiscal
quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the Financial Maintenance Covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by
an amount equal to the Cure Amount; and
198
(ii) if,
after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Borrowers shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial
Maintenance Covenant, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such Financial Maintenance Covenant as of the
relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable
breach or Default of such Financial Maintenance Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement.
(b) No
Default. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) a Default or Event of Default resulting solely from a failure to be
in compliance with the Financial Maintenance Covenant shall not be deemed to exist from the end of the applicable fiscal quarter until
the 10th Business Day after the applicable Cure Specified Date with respect to such fiscal quarter, (ii) to the extent a Cure
Notice is delivered by the Borrowers within 10 Business Days after such Cure Specified Date, a Default or Event of Default resulting solely
from a failure to be in compliance with the Financial Maintenance Covenant shall not be deemed to exist from the end of the applicable
fiscal quarter until the 10th Business Day after the applicable Cure Specified Date with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter
and (iii) if the Cure Amount is not made within 10 Business Days after the applicable Cure Specified Date with respect to the applicable
fiscal quarter, each such Default or Event of Default referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be deemed reinstated
as of the end of the applicable fiscal quarter, it being further agreed that the Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate as
applied in accordance with Section 2.15(b) as of the end of such applicable fiscal quarter.
(c) Revolver
Borrowing Block. If a Default or Event of Default would have occurred and be continuing had the Borrowers not had the option to exercise
the Cure Right as set forth above and not exercised such Cure Right pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Borrowers shall not be permitted,
from the applicable Cure Specified Date with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter, until such Default or Event of Default is cured
in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.2, to request any Borrowings or the issuance of Letters of Credit under the Revolving
Credit Commitments (including any issuance or extension (including automatic renewals) of any Letter of Credit) or otherwise request any
other credit extensions under this Agreement.
(d) Limitation
on Exercise of Cure Right. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four fiscal quarter period, there shall be
at least two fiscal quarters during which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) the Cure Right may only be exercised five times during
the term of this Agreement, (iii) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the minimum amount required to cause Borrower to be in compliance
with the Financial Maintenance Covenant as of the end of the applicable fiscal quarter, (iv) all Cure Amounts shall be disregarded for
purposes of determining any financial ratio based conditions or any baskets with respect to the covenants contained in this Agreement,
(v) there shall be no pro forma reduction in Indebtedness with the proceeds of any Cure Amount for determining compliance with the Financial
Maintenance Covenant in the quarter for which such Cure Right is exercised; provided that Cure Amounts shall reduce debt in future
periods to the extent used to prepay the Loans, and (vi) there shall be no cash netting of the proceeds of any Cure Amount.
199
7.3 Application of
Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 7.1 (or after the Loans have automatically become
immediately due and payable and the LC Exposure has automatically been required to be cash collateralized (in a manner consistent
with Section 2.7(j))), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the provisions of Sections
2.20 and 2.22, be applied by the Agents in the following order:
First, to payment of
that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements
of counsel to the Agents and amounts payable under Sections 2.16 through 2.19) payable to the applicable Agent in its capacity
as such;
Second, to payment
of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest and fees in respect
of Letters of Credit that are payable pursuant to Section 2.13(b)) payable to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (including fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders and the Issuing Banks (including fees and time charges for attorneys who
may be employees of any Lender or any Issuing Bank) and amounts payable under Sections 2.16 through 2.19), ratably among
them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;
Third, to payment of
that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid fees in respect of Letters of Credit that are payable pursuant to Section
2.13(b) and interest on the Loans, LC Exposure and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in proportion
to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;
Fourth, to payment
of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, LC Disbursements, Cash Management Obligations, Obligations
then owing under Specified Hedge Agreements, Obligations owing to the Revolver Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Banks,
to cash collateralize (in a manner consistent with Section 2.7(j)) that portion of the LC Exposure comprised of the aggregate undrawn
amount of Letters of Credit, ratably among the Revolver Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and Qualified Counterparties
in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;
Last, the balance,
if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by Law.
Subject to Section 2.7,
amounts used to cash collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fourth above shall be applied
to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as cash collateral after all Letters
of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order
set forth above.
200
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Cash Management Obligations and Obligations arising under Specified Hedge Agreements shall be excluded from the application described
above if the Collateral Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Collateral Agent
may reasonably request, from the applicable Qualified Counterparty, as the case may be. Each Qualified Counterparty that is not a party
to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged
and accepted the appointment of the Agents pursuant to the terms of Section 8 hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender”
party hereto. Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its
assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations
otherwise set forth above in this Section.
Furthermore, notwithstanding
the foregoing, any Lender (a “Declining Lender”) may from time to time voluntarily disclaim its interest in one or
more assets constituting Collateral by sending irrevocable notice to the Collateral Agent identifying such assets with specificity and
containing an agreement by such Lender that such assets shall no longer secure the Obligations owing to such Lender (any such asset, with
respect to such Declining Lender, a “Declined Asset”). Delivery of such notice by any Declining Lender shall not affect
or impair the security interest of any other Secured Party with respect to such asset. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
no proceeds or other amounts distributed on account of any Declined Asset (as a result of foreclosure or otherwise) shall be distributed
to any Declining Lender who has disclaimed an interest in such Declined Asset, and such proceeds or other amounts shall instead be distributed
to each other Secured Party who is otherwise entitled to receive such proceeds or other amounts on the terms set forth herein. For the
avoidance of doubt, the effect of any Declining Lenders disclaiming a security interest in any Declined Asset shall be borne solely by
such Declining Lenders, and such Declining Lenders shall not by virtue thereof be entitled to a “true up” or otherwise be
entitled to receive a greater than pro rata share of any other Collateral proceeds or other amounts distributed to the Secured Parties
on account of the Obligations.
SECTION
8. THE AGENTS
8.1 Appointment.
(a)
Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints JefferiesCitizens
(in its capacities as the Term Loan B Agent andcapacity
as Collateral Agent (as successor to Jefferies))
and Rabobank (in its capacity as the Term Loan A Agent and
the Revolver Administrative Agent) as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender
irrevocably authorizes the Agents, in such capacities, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Agents by the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Lender hereby authorizes the Agents to enter into each Collateral Document and any intercreditor or subordination
agreements contemplated hereby (including any Senior Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement and any Senior/Junior Intercreditor Agreement)
on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. Notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agents shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly
set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations
or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agents.
201
(b)
As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Agents
shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall
be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number
or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing,
such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and each Issuing Bank; provided, however, that no Agent shall be required to take
any action that (i) such Agent in good faith believes exposes it to liability unless such Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated
in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any applicable
law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination
of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any applicable law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of
debtors; provided, further, that such Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any
such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth
in the Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information
relating to the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained
by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity other that the Agent. Nothing in this Agreement shall require
any Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder
or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(c)
In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Agents are acting solely on behalf of the Lenders
and the Issuing Banks (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and
its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. The motivations of the Arrangers and the Agents are commercial in nature
and not to invest in the general performance or operations of the Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(i) the
Agents do not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary
or trustee of or for any Lender, Issuing Bank, any other Secured Party or holder of any other secured Obligation other than as expressly
set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
(and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document
with reference to the Agents is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency
doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Agents based
on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby;
202
(ii) where
any Agent is required or deemed to act as a trustee in respect of any Collateral over which a security interest has been created pursuant
to a Loan Document expressed to be governed by the laws of any country, or is required or deemed to hold any Collateral “on trust”
pursuant to the foregoing, the obligations and liabilities of such Agent to the Secured Parties in its capacity as trustee shall be excluded
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law; and
(iii) (iii)
nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require any Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the
profit element of any sum received by such Agent for its own account.
8.2 Delegation of
Duties. The Agents may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agents shall not
be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
8.3 Exculpatory
Provisions. None of any Agent, any Issuing Bank, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable to any other Credit Party for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken
by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the
foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such
Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any other Credit Party for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the
Agents or Issuing Banks under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any
Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents and the Issuing Banks shall not be under
any obligation to any other Credit Party to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements
contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any
Loan Party. The Agents shall have no responsibility or liability for monitoring or enforcing the list of Disqualified Lenders or for
any assignment or participation to a Disqualified Lender.
203
8.4 Reliance by the
Agents. The Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution,
notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation
believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Parent or the other Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected
by the Agents. The applicable Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written
notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the applicable Agent. The applicable Agent shall be
fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all affected Lenders) as it deems
appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may
be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The applicable Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of
the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all affected Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure
to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
8.5 Notice of
Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such
Agent has received written notice from a Lender, Parent or any other Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default
or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that any Agent receives such a
notice, such Agent shall give notice thereof to the other Agents and the Lenders. Such Agent shall take such action with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all
affected Lenders); provided, that unless and until such Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it
shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
8.6 Non-Reliance on the
Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that
no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition
and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such
investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be
furnished to the Lenders by an Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit
or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or
creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of an Agent or any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
204
8.7 Indemnification.
The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and its respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, agents, advisors and
controlling Persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by Parent or the other Borrowers
and without limiting any obligation of Parent or any other Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate
Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 8.7 (or, if indemnification
is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in
accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs and expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that
may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent
Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any
documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or
omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that no Lender shall be liable
for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no
action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or the Required RevolvingPro
Rata Facility Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents)
shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 8.7. The
agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.
8.8 The Agent in Its
Individual Capacity. An Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of
business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder or any other Loan Document. With respect to its Loans
made or renewed by it or with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, an Agent shall have the same rights
and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent
hereunder, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include such Agent in its individual
capacity.
205
8.9 Successor
Agent.
(a) Any
Agent may resign as an Administrative Agent or as the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders
and the applicable Borrowers. If the applicable Agent shall resign as an Administrative Agent and/or as the Collateral Agent, as the case
may be, then the Required Lenders (or Required Revolving Lenders or Required Term Lenders, as applicable) shall appoint from among the
Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject to written approval by the applicable Borrowers (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such successor is a commercial bank with a combined capital and surplus of at
least $5.0 billion and otherwise may be withheld in the applicable Borrowers’ sole discretion, which approval shall not be required
during the continuance of a Specified Event of Default), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties
of the applicable Administrative Agent and/or as the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and the terms “Term Loan BA
Agent”, “ “Revolver Administrative
Agent”, “Administrative Agents”, “Collateral Agent” and “Agents”, as
the case may be, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former applicable Agent’s
rights, powers and duties as the applicable Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
applicable Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has been appointed as the
applicable Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation
shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the applicable Agent hereunder
until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders (or Required Revolving Lenders or Required Term Lenders, as applicable), subject to written
approval by the applicable Borrowers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor agent as provided
for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as the applicable Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 and of Section
9.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit. In case of the resignation of the Collateral Agent, if no successor agent had been appointed
within 30 days from the date of resignation of the Collateral Agent, such retiring Collateral Agent shall have no duty or obligation to
take any further action under any security documents, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such liens or security
interests.
(b) If
the applicable Agent or a controlling Affiliate thereof admits that it is insolvent or has become the subject of a Bankruptcy Event, it
may be removed by the applicable Borrowers or the Required Lenders (or Required Revolving Lenders or Required Term Lenders, as applicable).
The applicable Borrowers shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject
to written approval by the Required Lenders (or Required Revolving Lenders
or Required Term Lenders, as applicable) (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent
shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the applicable Agent, and the terms “Term
Loan B Agent”, “Revolver Administrative Agent”, “Administrative
Agents”, “Collateral Agent” and “Agents”, as the case may be, shall mean such successor
agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as an Agent shall be terminated,
without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the
Loans. If no successor agent has been appointed as the applicable Agent by the date that is 10 days following an Agent’s removal,
such Agent’s removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of
the applicable Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the applicable Borrowers, subject to written approval by the Required Lenders
(or Required Revolving Lenders or Required Term Lenders, as applicable) (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any Agent’s replacement as an Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Section
8 and of Section 9.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.
206
8.10 Arrangers,
Documentation AgentAgents
and Syndication Agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document, the Arrangers, the Documentation AgentAgents
and the Syndication Agent, in their respective capacities, as such, shall not have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall any
Arranger, the Documentation AgentAgents
or Syndication Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist
against any Arranger, the Documentation AgentAgents
and the Syndication Agent.

Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such

other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and
such Lender.
(b) In
addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2)
a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding
clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y)
covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the
benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and the Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for
the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates
is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement
(including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document
or any documents related to hereto or thereto).

Without limiting any other rights of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Guaranties or any other Loan Document, with
regard to and as contemplated by each of the Collateral Documents governed by Swiss law (the “Swiss Collateral
Documents”): the Collateral Agent shall:
(a) hold
and administer any non-accessory security interest (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by Swiss law as fiduciary (treuhänderisch)
in its own name but for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and;
(b) hold
and administer any accessory security interest (akzessorische Sicherheit) governed by Swiss law as direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter)
in the name and on behalf of the Secured Parties;
(c) each
Secured Party hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) and authorizes the Collateral
Agent (whether or not by or through employees or agents) to:

Swiss Collateral Documents together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto;
(ii) take

(iii) accept,
enter into and execute as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security right
granted in favor of the Secured Party in connection with the Loan Documents under Swiss law and to agree to and execute in its name and
on its behalf as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any amendments, confirmations and/or alterations to any Swiss Collateral
Document which creates a pledge or any other accessory security right (akzessorische Sicherheit) including the release or confirmation
of release of such security interest, all subject to the provisions of this Agreement and any other Loan Document.
8.13 Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agents (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure
shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative
Agents shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all
other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts
due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agents under Section 2.13 and Section 9.3) allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and
(b) to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender
and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the relevant Administrative Agent and, in the event that the relevant Administrative Agent
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to such Administrative Agent any amount
due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of such Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due such Administrative Agent under Section 2.13 and Section 9.3
8.14 Erroneous
Payments
(a) If
the applicable Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf
of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”)
that the applicable Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately
succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the applicable Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates
were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or
not known to such Lender, Issuing Bank, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or
received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively,
an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous
Payment shall at all times remain the property of the applicable Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party
shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly,
but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the applicable Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion,
specify in writing), return to the applicable Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to
which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived
in writing by the applicable Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion
thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the applicable Administrative Agent in same day funds
at the greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the applicable Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient
under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
209
(b) Without
limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment
(whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the applicable Administrative
Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment,
prepayment or repayment sent by the applicable Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment
or repayment (a “Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Payment
Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:
(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of
immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the
applicable Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause
(z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii) such Payment Recipient shall promptly (and, in all
events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses
(x), (y) and (z)) notify the applicable Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof
(in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.14(b).
210
For
the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a Payment Notice to the applicable Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 18.4(b)
shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 18.4(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment
has been made.
(c) Each
Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party hereby authorizes the applicable Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts
at any time owing to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the
applicable Administrative Agent to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal,
interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the applicable Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately
preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d) (i)
In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the applicable Administrative Agent for any reason, after
demand therefor by the applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received
such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof)
on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the applicable Administrative
Agent’s request to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the
parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Revolving Credit Commitments) of the relevant
Facility with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Facility”) in an amount equal
to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser
amount as the applicable Administrative Agent may specify) (such
assignment of the Loans (but not Revolving Credit Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Facility, the “Erroneous Payment
Deficiency Assignment”) on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment
fee to be waived by the applicable Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the relevant Borrowers) deemed
to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption
by reference pursuant to an an electronic platform or electronic transmission system as to which the applicable Administrative Agent and
such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing
such Loans to the Borrower or the applicable Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not
affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the applicable Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed
to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the applicable Administrative Agent as
the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the
assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding,
for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification
provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the applicable Administrative
Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency
Assignment, and (E) the applicable Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the
Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Revolving
Credit Commitments of any Lender and such Revolving Credit Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
211
(i) Subject
to Section 9.4 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)),
the applicable Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment
and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced
by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the applicable Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights,
remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous
Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal
and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the applicable Administrative Agent on or with respect
to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans
are then owned by the applicable Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the applicable Administrative Agent, be
reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.
(e) The
parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the applicable Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that
an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion
thereof) for any reason, the applicable Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient
(and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, to the rights
and interests of such Lender, Issuing Bank or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount
(the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in
respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned
to the applicable Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay,
repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 8.14 shall
not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for),
the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had
such Erroneous Payment not been made by the applicable Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately
preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such
Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the applicable Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making
such Erroneous Payment.
212
(f) To
the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives,
and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim
by the applicable Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, any defense based
on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g) Each
party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 18.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the applicable
Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuing Bank, the termination of the
Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

not been provided by the applicable Agent to Parent and the other Borrowers, that it will, and Parent will cause its Subsidiaries to,
provide to the applicable Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the applicable Agent

to an electronic mail address as directed by the applicable Agent. In addition, Parent and the other Borrowers agree, and agree to cause
Parent’s Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the applicable Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in
the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the applicable Agent.
215
Each of Parent and each other
Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the applicable Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks materials
and/or information provided by, or on behalf of, the applicable Borrowers hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”)
by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain
of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that wish to receive information and documentation that is publicly
available or (y) does not contain MNPI (collectively, “Public Lender Information”)) (each, a “Public Lender”).
Each of Parent and each other Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall
be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear
prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”, the applicable Borrowers shall be deemed
to have authorized the applicable Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any Private
Lender Information (as defined below) (provided, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall
be treated as set forth in Section 9.12); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available
through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor”; and (iv) the applicable Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform
not marked as “Public Investor”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to be marked
“PUBLIC” unless the applicable Borrowers notify the applicable Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains
Private Lender Information: (A) the Loan Documents, (B) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities and (C) all information
delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 and Section 5.2(a). “Private Lender Information” means any information
and documentation that is not Public Lender Information.
Each Public Lender agrees
to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information”
or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance
with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to
make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform
and that may contain MNPI.
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS
IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” NEITHER THE APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY
OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN
THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER
OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER
IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS
THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION
TO HAVE RESULTED FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
216
The applicable Agent agrees
that the receipt of the Communications by the applicable Agent at its electronic mail address set forth above shall constitute effective
delivery of the Communications to the applicable Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to
it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery
of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the applicable Administrative Agent
in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s electronic mail address to which the foregoing
notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address. Nothing herein shall prejudice
the right of the applicable Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner
specified in such Loan Document.
9.2 Waivers;
Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the applicable Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any
right or power hereunder 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 the applicable Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the
Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by Parent or any other Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 9.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the
applicable Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
217
(b) None
of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereunder or thereunder may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant
to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the applicable Borrowers and the Required Lenders or by the applicable Borrowers
and the applicable Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
solely with the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (but without the necessity of obtaining the consent
of the Required Lenders), any such agreement may:
(1) increase
the Commitment of any Lender;
(2) reduce
or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees or premiums
payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-Default increase in interest rates (which waiver
shall be effective with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders and/or Required
Term Lenders of each directly and adversely affected Facility)), provided, that any change in any definition applicable to any
ratio used in the calculation of any rate of interest or fee shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fee;
(3) postpone
the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees or premiums
payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment;
it being understood that the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory
reduction of Commitments shall not constitute a postponement of the scheduled date of payment of principal of any Loan or expiration of
any Commitment of any Lender;
(4) impose
additional restrictions on the ability of any Lender to assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder;
(5) change
Section 2.20(b) or (c) or Section 7.3 or any other provision providing
for the pro rata sharing of payments in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby,
or change the application of proceeds provision in this Agreement or
any Collateral Document (or the corresponding provision in any intercreditor agreement (including any Senior Pari Passu Intercreditor
Agreement and any Senior/Junior Intercreditor Agreement));
(6) change
any of the provisions of this Section 9.2 or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Required Term Lenders”,
“Required Revolving Lenders”, “Required Pro Rata Facility
Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any
rights hereunder or grant any consent hereunder;
(7) except
as otherwise expressly provided in Section 9.159.14
as in effect as of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release Guarantors
from their guarantee obligations under the Guaranties representing all or substantially all of the value of such guarantees, taken as
a whole; or
218
(8) subordinate
or have the effect of subordinating (x) the Liens securing
any of the Obligations on all or substantially all of the Collateral to the Liens on the Collateral securing any other Indebtedness or
(y) any Loans in contractual right of payment to any other Indebtedness; or
(9) change
or waive the definitions of “Restricted Subsidiary”, “Unrestricted Subsidiary” or any defined terms used therein
or any provisions related thereto.
provided, further that no such agreement
shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the applicable Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder in a
manner adverse to the applicable Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, without the prior written consent of the
applicable Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) amendments, waivers or other
modifications may be made to any condition precedent to the extension of Revolving Credit Loans (or deemed extensions of Revolving Credit
Loans) under the Revolving Credit Facility of the same Class with only the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (or by the
Revolver Borrowers and the Revolver Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders) of such Class, (ii) amendments,
waivers and other modifications may be made to Sections 6.14, 7.1(c), 7.1(e) and 7.2 (and definitions to the
extent relating to such Sections) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the amendment, waiver, termination or other modification of
a Financial Covenant Event of Default) with only the written consent of the Required RevolvingPro
Rata Facility Lenders and (iii) amendments, waivers and other modifications to the provisions of any Loan Document in a manner
that by its terms adversely affects the rights or obligations of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the
rights or obligations of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) will require only the prior written consent of Lenders

(D) the

who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal
and state securities laws and any applicable tax forms; and

in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the applicable Borrowers, the applicable Administrative Agent, each Issuing
Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the applicable
Borrowers, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption, in each case executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless such assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)
of this Section 9.4 and any applicable tax forms, the applicable Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption
and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided, that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall
have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.7(d), 2.7(e), 2.8(b), 2.20(d)
or 8.7, the applicable Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information
therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment
shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c) (i)
Any Lender may, without the consent of the applicable Borrowers or the applicable Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations
to one or more banks or other entities (other than any natural Person (or
a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of a natural Person),
Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent and any Disqualified Lender (to the extent that a list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available
to all relevant Lenders)) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, that (A) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
the performance of such obligations and (C) the applicable Borrowers, the applicable Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall
retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (2) through (4) of the first proviso to Section 9.2(b)
that adversely affects the Participant. The applicable Borrowers agree that, subject to paragraph (c)(ii) and (c)(iii) of
this Section 9.4, each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 (and
subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.19(e)
shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.4. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to
the benefits of Section 9.8 as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section
2.20(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary
agent of the applicable Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts
(and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion
of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s
interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such
disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under United
States Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and proposed United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or
successor version). 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, including
payments of interest and principal, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the applicable Administrative
Agent (in its capacity as an Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
227
(ii) A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, with respect to
any participation sold to such Participant, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive (except to the extent such
entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the participation) with
respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the applicable Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the applicable Borrowers’ prior written consent expressly
acknowledging such Participant may receive a greater payment and such Participant agrees to comply with Section 2.21 as if it was
a Lender. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.19 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of
the applicable Borrowers, to comply (and actually complies) with Section 2.19(e) as though it were a Lender (it being understood
that the documentation required under Section 2.19(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).
(iii) A
Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.21 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this
Section 9.4.
(iv) Each
Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the applicable Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate
with the applicable Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.21(b) with respect to any Participant.

participation may be sold to any Purchasing Borrower Party[reserved].
(d) Any
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations
of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.4 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 a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
228
(e) [reserved].
(f) [reserved].
(g) Notwithstanding
anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to any Purchasing
Borrower Party in accordance with Section 9.4(b); provided,
that:
(i) such
assignment shall be made pursuant to a Dutch Auction open to all Lenders of the applicable Class on a pro rata basis pursuant to the Dutch
Auction Procedures set forth in Section 2.12(f) or by way of an open market purchase; provided,
that in the case of any open market purchases, at the time of such assignment and after giving effect to such assignment, such assignments
will not exceed, in the aggregate, 25.0% of the principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding at such time (it being understood
that, solely for purposes of this proviso, any Term Loans previously purchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section
9.4(g) shall be deemed outstanding at such time);
(ii) any
Term Loans assigned to any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be automatically and permanently cancelled upon the effectiveness of such assignment
and will thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder;
(iii) immediately
after giving effect to any such purchase, no Default or Event of Default shall exist;
(iv) the
applicable Assignment and Assumption shall include a customary “big boy” representation from each of the Purchasing Borrower
Party and the assignee or assignor, as the case may be (it being agreed that no Purchasing Borrower Party shall be required to make a
representation as to absence of MNPI);
(v) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Class shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the
aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans purchased pursuant to this Section 9.4(g) and each
principal repayment installment with respect to the Term Loans of such Class shall be reduced pro rata by the aggregate principal amount
of Term Loans purchased; and
(vi) the
applicable Borrower(s) shall not, in any event, use proceeds from any Loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility to fund any such
assignment.
(g) [reserved].
(h) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, no Purchasing Borrower Party shall have
any right (in their capacity as a Lender) to (i) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) attended
solely by the applicable Administrative Agent and any Lenders or (ii) receive any information or material prepared by the applicable Administrative
Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among applicable Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such
information or materials have been made available to the applicable Borrowers or its representatives (and in any case, other than the
right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant
to this Agreement)[reserved].
229
(i) In
the case of any assignment, transfer or novation by a Lender to a new Lender, or any participation by such Lender in favor of a Participant,
of all or any part of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, such Lender
and the new Lender or Participant (as applicable) and each of the Luxembourg Loan Parties hereby agrees that, for the purposes of Article
1278 and/or Article 1281 of the Luxembourg Civil Code (to the extent applicable), any assignment, amendment, transfer and/or novation
of any kind permitted under, and made in accordance with the provisions of, this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein to which
any Luxembourg Loan Party is a party (including any Collateral Document), any security created or guarantee given under or in connection
with this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be preserved and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of such
new Lender or Participant (as applicable).
(j) With
respect to any assignment or participation by a Lender of any Loans or Commitments, (i) to a Disqualified Lender or (ii) to the extent
the applicable Borrowers’ consent is required under the terms of Section 9.4(b)(A) and such consent is not granted (or deemed
to have been granted), to any other Person, in each case, the applicable Borrowers shall be entitled to (A) notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, prepay the relevant Loans or terminate such Commitments on a non-pro rata basis or (B) require such Disqualified
Lender or other Person to assign such Loans or Commitments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, except to the extent that the
applicable Borrowers consent in writing to such assignment or participation, provided that upon inquiry by any Lender to the applicable
Administrative Agent as to whether a specified potential assignee or prospective participant is on the list of Disqualified Lenders, the
applicable Administrative Agent shall be permitted to disclose to such Lender whether such specific potential assignee or prospective
participant is on the list of Disqualified Lenders.
9.5 Survival. All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein and in the certificates or other instruments
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto
and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit,
regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the applicable Administrative
Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the
time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued
interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit
is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.17, 2.18, 2.19
and 9.3 and Section 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the
Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
230
9.6 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, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the applicable
Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and
all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section
4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agents and when the
Administrative Agents 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission
(e.g., “PDF” or “TIFF”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
The words “execution,” “execute”, “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 shall be deemed
to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms
approved by the applicable 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.
9.7 Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement 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 hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall
not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
9.8 Right of Setoff.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time
with the prior written consent of the applicable Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be required in connection with
customary set-offs in connection with Cash Management Obligations and Specified Hedge Agreements), 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 Lender to or for the credit or the account of the applicable Borrowers against any of
and all the obligations of the applicable Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective
of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The
rights of each Lender under this Section 9.8 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff)
which such Lender may have. Each Lender shall notify the applicable Administrative Agent, Parent and the other applicable Borrowers
promptly after any such setoff.
231

be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any party hereto may bring an action or proceeding in other jurisdictions in respect of its rights under any Collateral
Document governed by a law other than the laws of the State of New York or, with respect to the Collateral, in a jurisdiction where such
Collateral is located.
(c) Each
party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any

Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.9. 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) Each
party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.1. Nothing in
this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law.
(e) Each
Loan Party that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States of America hereby appoints HLF Financing SaRL,
LLC, with an office at 251 Little Falls Drive Wilmington, DE 19808, as its agent for service of process in any matter related to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY 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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

9.12 Confidentiality.
(a) Each of the Administrative Agents, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation AgentAgents,
each Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that
Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ employees, legal counsel, independent auditors, professionals and
other experts or agents (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential
nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested or demanded by any
regulatory authority claiming jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (provided, that the applicable Administrative Agent,

such disclosure by such Person (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental
bank regulatory authority exercising routine examination or regulatory authority) to the extent practicable and not prohibited by
applicable law, rule or regulation), (iii) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal,
judicial or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable law or compulsory legal process based on the advice of
counsel (provided, that the applicable Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as applicable, shall notify
the applicable Borrowers promptly thereof prior to any such disclosure by such Person (except with respect to any audit or
examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising routine examination or regulatory
authority) to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation), (iv) to any other party to this
Agreement, (v) as reasonably determined to be necessary, in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit,
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) to bona fide or potential assignee,
transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation of any Loans or any
participations therein or byto
any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction
relating to the applicable Borrowers and their obligations or other
transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and their obligations, this Agreement or payments
hereunder (provided, that such assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of
and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 9.12 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section
9.12), (vii) to the extent that such information is independently developed by it, (viii) with the prior written consent of the
Borrower, (ix) to the extent such Information becomes available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 to
the applicable Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation AgentAgents,
the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower or any of its Affiliates, (x) on a
confidential basis to (A) any rating agency in connection with rating Parent or Parent’s Subsidiaries or the Facilities or (1)

to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurement, and (xii) for purposes of establishing a “due
diligence” defense. For the purposes of this Section 9.12, “Information” means all information
received from Parent, each other Borrower or any of their Affiliates relating to Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries or
businesses, other than any such information that is available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 to the
applicable Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation AgentAgents,
any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower; provided, that, in the case of
information received from any Borrower after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified on or before the time of
delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.12
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 which shall in no event be
less than commercially reasonable care.
233
(b) EACH
LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MNPI,
AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE
SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
(c) ALL
INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY APPLICABLE BORROWERS OR THE APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT
TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MNPI. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER
REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS TO THE APPLICABLE BORROWERS AND THE APPLICABLE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE
QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE
PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.
(d) For
the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits or impedes any individual from communicating or disclosing Information regarding suspected
violations of laws, rules, or regulations to a Governmental Authority or self-regulatory authority without any notification to any Person.
9.13 PATRIOT Act.
Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements
of the PATRIOT Act, it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information
includes the name and address of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in
accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
234
9.14 Release of Liens
and Guarantees; Secured Parties. (a) In the event that any Loan Party conveys, sells, leases, assigns, transfers or otherwise
Disposes of all or any portion of any of the Capital Stock or assets (including any Mortgaged Property) of any Loan Party to a
Person that is not (and is not required hereunder to become) a Loan Party in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, the Liens
created by the Loan Documents in respect of such Capital Stock or assets shall automatically terminate and be released, without the
requirement for any further action by any Person and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the
Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents (including Mortgage release documents) as may be reasonably
requested by Parent or any other Borrower and at such Borrower’s expense to further document and evidence such termination and
release of Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such Capital Stock or assets. In the event that any Capital Stock or
other asset (including any Mortgaged Property) constituting Collateral has become, or is becoming, an Excluded Asset, then, at the
request of Parent or any Borrower, the Collateral Agent agrees to promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent
to) take such action and execute such documents (including mortgage release documents) as may be reasonably requested by Parent or
any Borrower and at such Borrower’s expense to terminate, discharge and release (or to further document and evidence the
termination, discharge and release of) the Liens created by any Loan Document in respect of such assets. In the case of a
transaction permitted under this Agreement the result of which is that a Loan Party would cease to be a Restricted Subsidiary or
would become an Excluded Subsidiary (or in case any Restricted Subsidiary otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or any Borrower
elects that any Discretionary Guarantor that would otherwise constitute an Excluded Subsidiary cease to be a Discretionary
Guarantor), the Guarantee Obligations created by the Loan Documents in respect of such Loan Party (and all security interests
granted by such Guarantor under the Loan Documents) shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any
further action by any Person and the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to) take
such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent or any Borrower and at such Borrower’s
expense to further document and evidence such termination and release of such security interests and such Loan Party’s
Guarantee Obligations in respect of the Obligations (including its Guarantee Obligations under the Guaranties). Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Guarantee (nor the security interest granted by any such Guarantor) will be released
solely as a result of the relevant Guarantor ceasing to be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary unless such transaction is entered into for a
bona fide business purpose and, for the avoidance of doubt, not for the primary purpose of causing such release; provided
that a Guarantor subsidiary shall only be released from its Guarantee as set forth above if (x) at the time such Guarantor ceases to
be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, (y) at the time of the definitive documentation for the transaction in which such Guarantor subsidiary
ceases to be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, and (z) at the time of such release and the consummation of the transaction that causes such
Guarantor Subsidiary to cease to be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, the Borrowers are deemed to have made a new investment in such
subsidiary in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such person attributable to the
Borrowers’ or any subsidiary’s equity interests therein as determined by the Borrower in good faith and such investment
is a permitted Investment. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Capital
Stock, asset or Subsidiary of any Loan Party shall no longer be deemed to be made with respect thereto once such Capital Stock or
asset or Subsidiary is so conveyed, sold, leased, assigned, transferred or disposed of.
235
(b) Upon
the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination or expiration of the Commitments, all Liens created by the Loan Documents shall
automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the Collateral Agent shall promptly
(and the Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested
by Parent or any Borrower and at such Borrower’s expense to further document and evidence such termination and release of Liens
created by the Loan Documents (including by way of assignment), and the Guarantee Obligations created by the Loan Documents in respect
of the Guarantors shall automatically terminate and be released, without the requirement for any further action by any Person and the
Collateral Agent shall promptly (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to) take such action and execute any such documents
as may be reasonably requested by Parent or any Borrower and at such Borrower’s expense to further document and evidence such termination
and release of the Guarantors’ Guarantee Obligations in respect of the Obligations (including the Guarantee Obligations under the
Guaranties).
(c) Except
with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender in accordance with Section 9.8 or with respect to a Lender’s
right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of
the Collateral or to enforce any guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under
the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof.
In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition,
the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition,
and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective
individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and
making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply
any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the
Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition.
9.15 No Fiduciary
Duty. The Agents, each Issuing Bank and each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this
paragraph, the “Lender Parties”) may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their
stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to
create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender Parties, on the one hand,
and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are
arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii)
in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender Parties have assumed any advisory or fiduciary
responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby
(or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender
Parties have advised, are currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or
any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) the Lender Parties
are acting solely as principals and not as the agents or fiduciaries of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or
any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent
it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the
process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that the Lender Parties have rendered advisory services of
any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process
leading thereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, no Hedge Agreement the obligations under which constitute Specified Hedge
Agreement obligations and no other agreements the obligations under which constitute Cash Management Obligations, in each case will
create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management
or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. By accepting
the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such Hedge Agreement or such agreement in respect of Cash
Management Services shall be deemed to have appointed the applicable Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and the
Collateral Agent to serve as collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured
Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.
236
9.16 Interest Rate
Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid
under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the
“Maximum Rate”). If the applicable Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank or any Lender shall receive interest
in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds
such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or
received by the applicable Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest,
(b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts
the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
9.17 Intercreditor
Agreements. The Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to, to the extent required or permitted by the terms of the Loan
Documents, (x) enter into (i) any Collateral Document, (ii) any Senior Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) any Senior/Junior
Intercreditor Agreement or (iv) any other intercreditor agreement contemplated hereunder or (y) make or consent to any filings or
take any other actions in connection therewith (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or
supplements to or other modifications to, such agreements in connection with the incurrence by any Loan Party of any Indebtedness of
such Loan Party that is permitted to be incurred and secured pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3, in order to permit such
Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected lien on the Collateral (with such priority as may be designated by such Loan Party,
to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents)), and the parties hereto acknowledge that any intercreditor
agreement contemplated hereunder, any Collateral Document, and any consent, filing or other action will be binding upon them. Each
of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a Lender) and each of the Secured Parties (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by
and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any intercreditor agreement contemplated hereunder (if entered into) and (b)
hereby authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into any Senior Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, any Senior/Junior
Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor agreements contemplated hereunder or Collateral Document (and any amendments,
amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, such agreements in connection
with the incurrence by any Loan Party of any Indebtedness of such Loan Party that is permitted to be incurred and secured pursuant
to Sections 6.2 and 6.3, in order to permit such Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected lien on the
Collateral (with such priority as may be designated by such Loan Party, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan
Documents)), and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof.
237
9.18 Discretionary
Guarantors. At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrowers may elect to add a Group Member that is an Excluded Subsidiary or
any other Person reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to be added as an additional guarantor and a Loan Party (a
“Discretionary Guarantor”) as follows:
(a) the
Borrowers shall provide a Notice of Additional Guarantor to the Collateral Agent of its intention to add any Discretionary Guarantor at
least 15 Business Days (or such shorter period as the Collateral Agent may reasonably agree) prior to the date of the proposed addition;
(b) consent
of the Collateral Agent shall be required to approve any such addition (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but which
may be withheld if the Collateral Agent reasonably determines that such Discretionary Guarantor is organized or incorporated under the
laws of a jurisdiction where (i) the amount and enforceability of the contemplated guarantee that may be entered into by a Person organized
or incorporated in the relevant jurisdiction is materially and adversely limited by applicable law or contractual limitations, (ii) the
security interests (and the enforceability thereof) that may be granted with respect to assets (or various classes of assets) located
in the relevant jurisdiction are materially and adversely limited by applicable law or (iii) there is any reasonably identifiable and
material adverse political risk to the Lenders or the Collateral Agent associated with such jurisdiction); provided, that no such
consent shall be required for the addition of any Discretionary Guarantor organized under the laws of the United States, or any State
or political subdivision thereof, or any province or political subdivision thereof;
(c) the
Borrowers and such Discretionary Guarantor shall deliver the documents required by Section 5.9, at the time such Group Member or
other Person becomes a Discretionary Guarantor (or such later date as the Collateral Agent may reasonably agree) with respect to each
such additional Guarantor (and solely for purposes of Section 5.9(c) and the Collateral Documents, such Subsidiary shall be deemed
to have been acquired at the time such Notice of Additional Guarantor is received by the Collateral Agent); and
238
(d) as
a condition to the effectiveness of any joinder of any Discretionary Guarantor, such Discretionary Guarantor shall deliver opinions, board
resolutions and officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under
Section 4.1 and all other documentation and other information, in each case as reasonably requested in writing by the Collateral
Agent within ten Business Days following receipt of such Notice of Additional Guarantor to satisfy requirements under applicable “know
your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the PATRIOT Act.
9.19 Posting of Margin
and Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Loan Document, to the extent that any Group
Member or counterparty to a Hedge Agreement is required to post any margin or collateral under a Hedge Agreement as a result of any
regulatory requirement, swap clearing organization rule, or other similar regulation, rule, or requirement, (i) a Group Member shall
be permitted to make payments of such margin or collateral to the counterparty in satisfaction of any such regulation, rule, or
requirement; and (ii) if any such counterparty posts any such margin or collateral with any Group Member, such margin or collateral
shall not be subject to any cash trap, cash sweep, or other cash management provision or restriction in any Loan Document, save and
except any pledge or assignment of such hedging agreement, with the express intention that the relevant Group Member shall be
permitted to receive, return (including any return payment), or apply such margin or collateral in accordance with the relevant
Hedge Agreement; provided, however, that such Group Member shall not use any such margin or collateral for any other
purpose than in accordance with the relevant Hedge Agreement.
9.20 Judgment
Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other
Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal
banking procedures the applicable Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding
that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to any Agent or any
Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement
(the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such Agent or such Lender, as
the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the
amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to any Agent or any Lender from any Borrower in
the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such
Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than
the sum originally due to any Agent or any Lender in such currency, such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return
the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
239
9.21 Acknowledgement and
Consent to Bail-In of EEAAffected
Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or
understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEAAffected
Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down
and conversion powers of an EEAthe
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 an EEAthe
applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is
an EEAAffected
Financial Institution; and
(b) the
effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a
reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a

9.22 Collateral.
Each of the parties hereto represents to each of the other parties hereto that it, in good faith, is not relying upon any margin
stock as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.
9.23 Swiss
Limitations. Any obligations assumed by a Guarantor incorporated in Switzerland (a “Swiss Guarantor”) under
this Agreement, the Guaranties and any other Loan "Document (the
“Swiss Guarantor Obligations”) shall be subject to the following limitations:
(a) If
and to the extent a Swiss Guarantor under or in connection with this Agreement, the Guaranties or any other Loan Document guarantees,
indemnifies and/or otherwise secures obligations of any other Loan Party (other than the wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries
of a Swiss Guarantor) and the performing of the relevant obligation, a guarantee payment in fulfilling such obligations and/or the using
of the proceeds from enforcement of the security interests securing such obligations (in each case hereunder defined as, an “Enforcement”)
would constitute a repayment of capital (Einlagerückgewähr), a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich
geschützte Reserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend (Gewinnausschüttung) by such Swiss Guarantor, the
repayment of statutory capital reserves (Rückzahlung von gesetzlichen Kapitalreserven) or would otherwise be restricted under
Swiss law and practice then applicable, the use of the proceeds of such Enforcement shall not exceed the amount of such Swiss Guarantor’s
freely disposable equity at the time of the Enforcement including, without limitation, any statutory reserves which can be transferred
into unrestricted, distributable reserves, in accordance with Swiss law (the “Freely Disposable Amount”).
240
(b) This
limitation shall only apply to the extent it is a requirement under applicable law at the time of Enforcement. Such limitation shall not
free the Swiss Guarantor from its obligations in excess of the Freely Disposable Amount, but merely postpone the performance date thereof
until such times when the Swiss Guarantor has again freely disposable equity.
(c) If
the use of the proceeds of any Enforcement under the Guaranties or any other Loan Document would be limited due to the effects referred
to in this Clause 9.23, the Swiss Guarantor shall further, to the extent permitted by applicable law and Swiss accounting standards and
upon request by the Collateral Agent, write up or sell any of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is
significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of sale, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss
Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) and such sale is permitted under the Loan Documents.
(d) The
Swiss Guarantor shall, and any holding company of the Swiss Guarantor which is a party to a Loan Document shall procure that such Swiss
Guarantor will take and cause to be taken all and any action as soon as reasonably practicable, including, without limitation, (i) the
passing of any shareholders’ and/or quotaholders’ resolutions to approve any payment or other performance under this Agreement or
any other Loan Documents, (ii) the provision of an audited interim balance sheet, (iii) the provision of a determination by the Swiss
Guarantor of the Freely Disposable Amount based on such audited interim balance sheet, (iv) the provision of a confirmation from the auditors
of the Swiss Guarantor that the payment in an amount corresponding to the Freely Disposable Amount or the performance of other obligations
is in compliance with the provisions of Swiss corporate law which are aimed at protecting the share capital and legal reserves, and (v)
the obtaining of any other confirmations which may be required as a matter of Swiss mandatory law in force at the time of Enforcement,
in order to allow a prompt payment or performance of other obligations with a minimum of limitations.
(e) If
so required under applicable law (including tax treaties) at the time of Enforcement under this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
the Swiss Guarantor:
(i) shall
use its reasonable endeavors to ensure that the proceeds of any Enforcement can be used without deduction of Swiss withholding tax, or
with deduction of Swiss withholding tax at a reduced rate, by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to applicable
law (including tax treaties) rather than payment of the tax;
(ii) shall
deduct the Swiss withholding tax at such rate (being 35% on the date hereof) as in force from time to time if the notification procedure
pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above does not apply; or shall deduct the Swiss withholding tax at the reduced rate resulting after discharge
of part of such tax by notification if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) applies for a part of the Swiss withholding
tax only; and shall pay within the time allowed any such taxes deducted to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and
(iii) shall
promptly notify the Collateral Agent that such notification or, as the case may be, deduction has been made, and provide the Collateral
Agent with evidence that such a notification of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made or, as the case may be, such taxes
deducted have been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration.
241
(f) In
the case of a deduction of Swiss withholding tax, the Swiss Guarantor shall use its reasonable endeavors to ensure that any person that
is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss withholding tax deducted from such payment under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, will, as soon as possible after such deduction:
(i) request
a refund of the Swiss withholding tax under applicable law (including tax treaties); and
(ii) pay
to the Collateral Agent upon receipt any amount so refunded.
(g) Notwithstanding
any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement (including Section 2.19), to the extent the Swiss Guarantor is required to deduct
Swiss withholding tax pursuant to the Guaranties or any other Loan Document, and if the Freely Disposable Amount is not fully utilised
and if the refund procedure pursuant to paragraph (f) above does not apply, the Swiss Guarantor will be required to pay, directly or by
way of use of the proceeds of Enforcement, an additional amount so that after making any required deduction of Swiss withholding tax the
aggregate net amount paid to the Collateral Agent, directly or by way of use of the proceeds of Enforcement, is equal to the amount which
would have been paid if no deduction of Swiss withholding tax had been required, provided that the aggregate amount paid (including the
additional amount) shall in any event be limited to the Freely Disposable Amount. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything
to the contrary, any additional amount required to be paid pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not exceed the additional amount on
account of Indemnified Taxes that are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.19 and shall be subject to the provisions and limitations
contained in Section 2.19. If a refund is made to a Credit Party, such Credit Party shall transfer the refund so received to the Swiss
Guarantor, subject to any right of set-off of such Credit Party pursuant to the Loan Documents.
9.24 Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge
Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such
QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution
Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding
that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of
the United States or any other state of the United States):
(a) In
the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding
under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest
and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such
QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special
Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed
by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party
becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply
to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater
extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood
and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered
Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
242

Luxembourg Limitations.
(a) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that any guarantee provided herein or in connection with any Loan Document (a “Luxembourg
Guarantee”) is granted by a Guarantor incorporated in Luxembourg (a “Luxembourg Guarantor”), the maximum liability amount
payable by such Luxembourg Guarantor under this Agreement or the Loan Document, shall be limited, at any time, to an aggregate amount
(without duplication) not exceeding the greater of (the “Available Amount”):
(i) ninety-five
per cent (95)% of such Luxembourg Guarantor’s net assets (capitaux propres), as referred to in annex I of the grand-ducal regulation
dated 18 December 2015 defining the form and content of the presentation of balance sheet and profit and loss account, and enforcing the
Luxembourg law dated 19 December 2002 concerning the trade and companies register and the accounting and annual accounts of undertakings
(the “Regulation”) and its subordinated debt (dettes subordonnées) as referred to in annex I of the Regulation, as
reflected in the financial information of such Luxembourg Guarantor, including, without limitation, its latest financial statements (comptes
annuels) available at the date of this Agreement and approved by the shareholders of the applicable Luxembourg Guarantor and certified
by the statutory or the independent auditor, and any (unaudited) interim financial statements signed by its board of managers (gérants),
as the case may be, and
243
(ii) ninety-five
per cent (95)% of such Luxembourg Guarantor’s net assets (capitaux propres) as referred to in annex I of the Regulation and its
subordinated debt (dettes subordonnées) as referred to in annex I of the Regulation, as reflected in the financial information
of such Luxembourg Guarantor, including, without limitation, its latest financial statements (comptes annuels) available at the date of
the relevant payment hereunder and approved by the shareholders of the applicable Luxembourg Guarantor and certified by the statutory
or the independent auditor, and any (unaudited) interim financial statements signed by its board of managers (gérants), as the
case may be.
(b) Should
the financial information referred in clauses (i) and (ii) above not be available on the date the Luxembourg Guarantee is called, the
relevant Luxembourg Guarantor’s net assets (“capitaux propres”) will be determined
in good faith by the Collateral Agent or any other person designated
by the Collateral Agent, acting reasonably, in accordance with the Luxembourg accounting principles applicable to the relevant Luxembourg
Guarantor and at the cost of such Luxembourg Guarantor.

Luxembourg Guarantee granted by a Luxembourg Guarantor will extend to include any obligation or liability, and no security granted by
a Luxembourg Guarantor will secure any obligations, in each case, if to do so would be unlawful financial assistance in respect of the
acquisition of shares in itself under Article 430-19 or would constitute a misuse of corporate assets (“abus de biens sociaux”)
as defined at Article 1500-11 of the Luxembourg Act on commercial companies of 10 August 1915, as amended. For the avoidance of doubt,
the limitations set forth in this Section 9.25 shall not apply to (i) any enforcement of real security interests (sûretés
réelles) granted by a Luxembourg Guarantor or any recoveries derived from the enforcement thereof, and (ii) any obligations of
any direct or indirect subsidiary of a Luxembourg Guarantor.
(e) The
Available Amount due by each Luxembourg Guarantor under the Luxembourg Guarantee shall be reduced by any amount paid by such Luxembourg
Guarantor under any guarantee granted by such Luxembourg Guarantor in respect of any obligations owed under the Senior Secured Notes.

Exhibit 99.1
Herbalife Completes $1.45 Billion Senior Secured
Refinancing
Strategic Refinancing Expected to Result in Approximately
$45 Million in Annual Cash Interest Savings1
LOS ANGELES, April 29, 2026 – Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE: HLF) (the
“Company”), a premier health and wellness company, community and platform, today announced the closing of the previously announced
private offering by HLF Financing SaRL, LLC and Herbalife International, Inc. (together, the “Issuers”), each a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, of $800 million aggregate principal amount of 7.750% senior secured notes due in May 2033 (“2033 Secured
Notes”). Concurrently with the issuance of the 2033 Secured Notes, the Company amended its 2024 senior secured credit facility (“2024
Credit Facility”). The amendments to the 2024 Credit Facility (as amended, the “2026 Credit Facility”), among other
things, refinanced and replaced in full the 2024 Credit Facility with a $225 million senior secured Term Loan A (“2026 Term Loan
A”) and a $425 million senior secured revolving credit facility (“2026 Revolving Credit Facility”), both maturing in
April 2031.
“We are pleased to have completed this refinancing amid significant
market volatility, further improving our capital structure and reinforcing the strength of our balance sheet,” said Chief Financial
Officer John DeSimone. “The transaction meaningfully reduces our borrowing costs, is expected to result in approximately $45 million
in annual cash interest savings1, extends our maturity profile, and provides additional financial flexibility moving forward.”
The Company used the net proceeds from these transactions, including borrowings
under the 2026 Revolving Credit Facility, and available cash, to repay the $365 million outstanding principal balance on its 2024 Term
Loan B and to fully redeem the $800 million outstanding principal balance of the Issuers’ 12.250% senior secured notes due 2029
(“2029 Secured Notes”), plus accrued and unpaid interest, and to pay related fees and expenses.
The 2029 Secured Notes were redeemed at 106.125% of principal. No early
termination penalties were incurred in connection with the refinancing, other than the call premium reflected in the redemption price
of the 2029 Secured Notes. Upon completion of the refinancing transactions, approximately $200 million was outstanding under the 2026
Revolving Credit Facility as of April 29, 2026.
The 2033 Secured Notes were issued at a price to the public of 100.00%
of par and are non-callable for three years. The 2033 Secured Notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 7.750%, which will be paid semi-annually
in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, commencing on November 1, 2026.
The 2026 Term Loan A was issued at 100.0% of par and requires quarterly
payments equal to 5.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Term Loan A per annum, commencing with the quarter ending September
30, 2026. The 2026 Term Loan A and 2026 Revolving Credit Facility will initially bear interest at a per annum rate equal to SOFR plus
3.00% and will fluctuate depending on the Company’s total leverage ratio at a spread ranging from SOFR plus 2.50% to SOFR plus 3.25%.
Total leverage ratio is defined as consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA as calculated under the 2026 Credit Facility.
1 Estimated annual cash interest savings were calculated based
on total senior secured debt outstanding as of April 29, 2026, before and after the refinancing, and current applicable interest rates
The 2026 Term Loan A and 2026 Revolving Credit Facility require the Company
to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio of 4.0x, a maximum first lien net leverage ratio of 2.5x and a minimum fixed charge coverage
ratio of 2.0x.
The 2033 Secured Notes and 2026 Credit Facility will be guaranteed on a
senior secured basis by the Company and certain of its existing and future domestic and foreign subsidiaries.
This press release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an
offer to buy the 2033 Secured Notes, nor shall there be any sale of the 2033 Secured Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such
an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state
or jurisdiction. Any offer, if at all, will be made only pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act. The 2033 Secured
Notes have not been and are not expected to be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction and
may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
