For purposes hereof,
the term “Pricing Date” means, for any Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower ending on or after June 30, 2025, the date
on which the Administrative Agent is in receipt of the Borrower’s most recent financial statements and current Compliance Certificate
(and, in the case of the year-end financial statements, audit report) for the Fiscal Quarter then ended, pursuant to Section 8.5
(for the sake of clarity, the financial statements and Compliance Certificate for the Fiscal Quarter of the Borrower ending June 30,
2025 are required to be delivered on or before August 31, 2025). The Applicable Margin shall be established based on the ratio of
Total Indebtedness to Total Asset Value for the most recently completed Fiscal Quarter and the Applicable Margin established on a Pricing
Date shall remain in effect until the next Pricing Date. If the Borrower has not delivered its financial statements, including a Compliance
Certificate, by the date such financial statements (and, in the case of the year-end financial statements, audit report) are required
to be delivered under Section 8.5, until such financial statements and audit report are delivered, the Applicable Margin shall be
the highest Applicable Margin (i.e., Level VII shall apply). If the Borrower subsequently delivers such financial statements
before the next Pricing Date, the Applicable Margin established by such late delivered financial statements shall take effect from the
date of delivery until the next Pricing Date. In all other circumstances, the Applicable Margin established by such financial statements
shall be in effect from the Pricing Date that occurs immediately after the end of the Fiscal Quarter covered by such financial statements
until the next Pricing Date. Each determination of the Applicable Margin made by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing
shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders if reasonably determined. The parties understand that the Applicable
Margin set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information
to be provided or certified to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”).
If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including, without limitation,
because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and the L/C Issuer, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the
correct information been timely provided, then, such Applicable Margin for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct
Borrower Information. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because
of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice such additional
interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender holding Commitments and Loans at the time the additional
interest and fee payment is received. Any recalculation of the Applicable Margin required by this provision shall survive for a period
of two (2) months following the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative
Agent’s, L/C Issuer’s or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

During
any period that the Borrower has two Credit Ratings that are not equivalent, but are adjacent to each other in the immediately preceding
pricing grid, then the Applicable Margin will be determined based on the lowesthighest
rating. During any period that the Borrower has either (i) two Credit Ratings that
are not equivalent and are not adjacent to each other in the immediately preceding pricing grid or (ii),
then the Applicable Margin will be determined based on the median of the applicable Credit Ratings, provided that if the median is not
a recognized rating category, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the level that is one level below the higher of
such Credit Ratings. During any period that the Borrower has three Credit Ratings that are each not equivalent to each other, then
(A) if the Credit Ratings are adjacent to each other on the immediately
preceding pricing grid, then the Applicable Margin will be determined based on the level that
is one level above the lowest of such Credit Ratingshighest
of the Credit Ratings, and (B) if the Credit Ratings are not adjacent to each other on the immediately preceding pricing grid, then
the Applicable Margin will be determined based on the average of the two highest Credit Ratings, provided, that if such average is not
a recognized rating category, then the above-referenced Applicable Margin shall be determined based on the second highest Credit Rating.
During any period after the Interest Rate Election that the Borrower has fewer than two Credit Ratings, the Applicable Margin will be
determined based on Level V of the grid immediately above. Any change in the Borrower’s Credit Rating which would cause it
to move to a different Level shall be effective five (5) Business Days after (i) the Administrative Agent’s receipt of
notice of any such change in the Borrower’s Credit Rating from Borrower pursuant to Section 8.5 or (ii) notwithstanding
Section 8.5, any date Administrative Agent otherwise obtains knowledge of any such change (provided that Administrative Agent
shall have no duty or obligation to any Person to ascertain or inquire into the Borrower’s Credit Rating). If it is subsequently
determined that any change in the Borrower’s Credit Rating was not disclosed to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.5,
and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information
been timely provided in accordance with Section 8.5, then such Applicable Margin for such period shall be automatically recalculated
using the Borrower’s correct Credit Rating. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional
interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such
written notice such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender holding Commitments and
Loans at the time the additional interest and fee payment is received. Any recalculation of the Applicable Margin required by this provision
shall survive for a period of two (2) months following the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any
way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s, L/C Issuer’s or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

The foregoing definitions are equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may
require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,” “includes”

36
Section 1.3. Change

Lenders and the Borrower, respectively, require that the Lenders and the Borrower negotiate in good faith to amend such covenants, standards,

or the Required Lenders in requiring such negotiation shall limit their right to so require such a negotiation at any time after such

covenants shall be computed and determined in accordance with GAAP in effect prior to such change in accounting principles. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall neither be deemed to be in compliance with any financial covenant hereunder nor out

but for the occurrence of a change in accounting principles after the date hereof.

Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity
as, the Benchmark or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition
of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect
the calculation of the 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 Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services
in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Benchmark or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
and shall have no liability to the Borrower, 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

Section 2.2. Letters
of Credit. (a) General Terms. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part
of the Revolving Credit, the L/C Issuer shall issue standby and commercial letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”)
for the account of the Borrower or for the account of the Borrower and one or more of its Subsidiaries in an aggregate undrawn face amount

drawing thereunder and, accordingly, each Letter of Credit shall constitute usage of the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving
Lender pro rata in an amount equal to its Revolver Percentage of the L/C Obligations then outstanding.
(b) Applications.

executed by the Borrower and, if such Letter of Credit is for the account of one of its Subsidiaries, such Subsidiary for the relevant
Letter of Credit in the form then customarily prescribed by the L/C Issuer for the Letter of Credit requested (each an “Application”).
The Borrower agrees that if on the date 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date any Letters of Credit remain outstanding
the Borrower shall then deliver to the Administrative Agent, without notice or demand, Cash Collateral in an amount equal to 103% of the
aggregate amount of each Letter of Credit then outstanding (which shall be held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 9.4).
Notwithstanding anything contained in any Application to the contrary: (i) the Borrower shall pay fees in connection with each Letter
of Credit as set forth in Section 3.1, (ii) except as otherwise provided herein or in Section 2.7, Section 2.14 or
Section 2.15, unless an Event of Default exists, the L/C Issuer will not call for the funding by the Borrower of any amount under
a Letter of Credit before being presented with a drawing thereunder, and (iii) if the L/C Issuer is not timely reimbursed for the
amount of any drawing under a Letter of Credit on the date such drawing is paid, the Borrower’s obligation to reimburse the L/C
Issuer for the amount of such drawing shall bear interest (which the Borrower hereby promises to pay) from and after the date such drawing
is paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect (computed on the
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed). If the L/C Issuer issues any Letter
of Credit with an expiration date that is automatically extended unless the L/C Issuer gives notice that the expiration date will not
so extend beyond its then scheduled expiration date, unless the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Lenders instruct the L/C

to the Letter(s) of Credit increasing the amount, or extending the expiration date, thereof at the request of the Borrower subject
to the conditions of Section 7 and the other terms of this Section 2.2. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
the L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue, extend or amend any Letter of Credit if a default of any Revolving Lender’s
obligations to fund under Section 2.2(c) exists or any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless
the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements with Borrower or such Revolving Lender satisfactory to the L/C Issuer to eliminate the L/C
Issuer’s risk with respect to such Revolving Lender.
39
(c) The
Reimbursement Obligations. Subject to Section 2.2(b), the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer for all drawings
under a Letter of Credit (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) shall be governed by the Application related to such Letter
of Credit, except that reimbursement shall be made by no later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the date when each drawing
is to be paid if the Borrower has been informed of such drawing by the L/C Issuer on or before 11:30 a.m. (Cleveland time) on
the date when such drawing is to be paid or, if notice of such drawing is given to the Borrower after 11:30 a.m. (Cleveland
time) on the date when such drawing is to be paid, by no later than 12:00 Noon (Cleveland time) on the following Business Day, in
immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in Cleveland, Ohio or such other office as the Administrative
Agent may designate in writing to the Borrower (who shall thereafter cause to be distributed to the L/C Issuer such amount(s) in
like funds). If the Borrower does not make any such reimbursement payment on the date due and the Participating Lenders fund their participations
therein in the manner set forth in Section 2.2(e) below, then all payments thereafter received by the Administrative Agent in
discharge of any of the relevant Reimbursement Obligations shall be distributed in accordance with Section 2.2(e) below.
(d) Obligations
Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse L/C Obligations as provided in subsection (c) of this Section shall
be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the relevant
Application 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 L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) 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, the
Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the L/C Issuer 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 L/C Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower
to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower
to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the L/C Issuer’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 or willful misconduct on the part of the L/C Issuer (as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment), the L/C Issuer 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 L/C Issuer 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.
40
(e) The
Participating Interests. Each Lender (other than the Lender acting as the L/C Issuer in issuing the relevant Letter of Credit), by
its acceptance hereof, severally agrees to purchase from the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer hereby agrees to sell to each such Lender
(a “Participating Lender”), an undivided percentage participating interest (a “Participating Interest”),
to the extent of its Revolver Percentage, in each Letter of Credit issued by, and each Reimbursement Obligation owed to, the L/C Issuer.
Upon any failure by the Borrower to pay any Reimbursement Obligation at the time required on the date the related drawing is to be paid,
as set forth in Section 2.2(c) above, or if the L/C Issuer is required at any time to return to the Borrower or to a trustee,
receiver, liquidator, custodian or other Person any portion of any payment of any Reimbursement Obligation, each Participating Lender
shall, not later than the Business Day it receives a certificate in the form of Exhibit A hereto from the L/C Issuer (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent) to such effect, if such certificate is received before 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time), or not later
than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) the following Business Day, if such certificate is received after such time, pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer an amount equal to such Participating Lender’s Revolver Percentage of such unpaid or recaptured
Reimbursement Obligation together with interest on such amount accrued from the date the related payment was made by the L/C Issuer to
the date of such payment by such Participating Lender at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related payment was made
by the L/C Issuer to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Participating Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds
Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Participating
Lender to the date such payment is made by such Participating Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. Each such Participating
Lender shall thereafter be entitled to receive its Revolver Percentage of each payment received in respect of the relevant Reimbursement
Obligation and of interest paid thereon, with the L/C Issuer retaining its Revolver Percentage thereof as a Lender hereunder. The several
obligations of the Participating Lenders to the L/C Issuer under this Section 2.2 shall be absolute, irrevocable, and unconditional
under any and all circumstances whatsoever and shall not be subject to any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Participating
Lender may have or have had against the Borrower, the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person whatsoever.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such obligations shall not be affected by any Default or Event of Default or by any
reduction or termination of any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Revolving Lender, and each payment by a Participating Lender under
this Section 2.2 shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
41
(f) Indemnification.
The Participating Lenders shall, to the extent of their respective Revolver Percentages, indemnify the L/C Issuer (to the extent not reimbursed
by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability
(except such as result from the L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
by final and nonappealable judgment) that the L/C Issuer may suffer or incur in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it. The
obligations of the Participating Lenders under this Section 2.2(f) and all other parts of this Section 2.2 shall survive
termination of this Agreement and of all Applications, Letters of Credit, and all drafts and other documents presented in connection with
drawings thereunder.
(g) Manner
of Requesting a Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall provide at least five (5) Business Days’ advance written notice to
the Administrative Agent of each request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice in each case to be accompanied by an Application
for such Letter of Credit properly completed and executed by the Borrower and, in the case of an extension or amendment or an increase
in the amount of a Letter of Credit, a written request therefor, in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer,
in each case, together with the fees called for by this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the L/C Issuer of the
Administrative Agent’s receipt of each such notice (and the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to assume that the conditions precedent
to any such issuance, extension, amendment or increase have been satisfied unless notified to the contrary by the Administrative Agent
or the Required Revolving Lenders) and the L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the issuance of
the Letter of Credit so requested.
(h) Replacement
of the L/C Issuer. The L/C Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
replaced L/C Issuer and the successor L/C Issuer. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement
of the L/C Issuer. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account
of the replaced L/C Issuer. From and after the effective date of any such replacement (i) the successor L/C Issuer shall
have all the rights and obligations of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and
(ii) references herein to the term “L/C Issuer” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous L/C Issuer,
or to such successor and all previous L/C Issuers, as the context shall require. After the replacement of a L/C Issuer hereunder,
the replaced L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a L/C Issuer
under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional
Letters of Credit.
Section 2.3. Applicable
Interest Rates. (a) Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest (computed
on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof
from the date such Loan is advanced, or created by conversion from a SOFR Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise)
at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect, payable by the Borrower
on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
42
(b) SOFR
Loans.
(i) Term
SOFR Loans. Each Term SOFR Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest during each Interest Period it is outstanding (computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced
or continued, or created by conversion from a Base Rate Loan or a Daily Simple SOFR Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise)
at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Term SOFR applicable for such Interest Period, payable by
the Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
(ii) Daily
Simple SOFR Loans. Each Daily Simple SOFR Loan made or maintained by a Lender shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year
of 360 days and actual days elapsed) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is advanced or continued, or created
by conversion from a Base Rate Loan or a Term SOFR Loan, until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum equal
to the sum of the Applicable Margin plus the Daily Simple SOFR, payable by the Borrower on each Interest Payment Date and at maturity
(whether by acceleration or otherwise).
(c) Rate
Determinations. The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations
hereunder, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of manifest error. In connection with the
use or administration of Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective
without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term
SOFR.
(d) Investment
Grade Credit Rating Interest Rate Election. At any time after the Borrower receives an Investment Grade Credit Rating, the Borrower
may, so long as no Default then exists and is continuing, irrevocably elect (an “Interest Rate Election”) by written
notice to the Administrative Agent, accompanied by reasonable evidence of the Borrower’s Credit Ratings, that the interest rate
and fee margins set forth in clause (b) of the definition of “Applicable Margin” herein shall at all times thereafter
be applicable to all credit extensions under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders and the L/C Issuer with
prompt notice of its receipt of any Interest Rate Election. On the day after the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any
Interest Rate Election (the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such election is the “Interest Rate Election
Date”), the margins set forth in clause (a) of the definition of “Applicable Margin” herein shall no
longer apply.
Section 2.4. Minimum
Borrowing Amounts; Maximum Term SOFR Loans. Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans advanced under the Revolving
Credit shall be in an amount not less than $100,000. Each Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans advanced, continued or converted under the Revolving
Credit shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or such greater amount which is an integral multiple of $500,000. Without the Administrative
Agent’s consent, there shall not be more than twelve (12) Borrowings of Term SOFR Loans outstanding hereunder at any one time.
43
Section 2.5. Manner
of Borrowing Loans and Designating Applicable Interest Rates. (a) Notice to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall
give notice to the Administrative Agent by no later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time): (i) at least three (3) Business Days
before the date on which the Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans and (ii) on the date the Borrower
requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans; provided, that with respect to
any Borrowing of the Term Loans on the Closing Date, the foregoing deadlines may be shortened or waived by the Administrative Agent in
its sole discretion. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified in such notice of
a new Borrowing. Thereafter, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue
the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirement for each outstanding Borrowing set forth
in Section 2.4, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Term SOFR Loans, on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, the Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Term SOFR Loans or convert part or all of such Borrowing
into Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans, or (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans, on any
Business Day, the Borrower may convert all or part of such Borrowing into either (x) Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans or
(y) Term SOFR Loans for an Interest Period or Interest Periods specified by the Borrower. The Borrower shall give all such notices
requesting the advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by telephone, telecopy, or other telecommunication
device acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed
in writing in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (Notice of
Borrowing) or Exhibit C (Notice of Continuation/Conversion), as applicable, or in such other form acceptable to the Administrative
Agent. Notice of the continuation of a Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or
all of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans into Term SOFR Loans must be given by no later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland
time) at least three (3) Business Days before the date of the requested continuation or conversion. All such notices concerning the
advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion of a Borrowing
(which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing to be advanced, continued or converted, the type of Loans to comprise
such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Term SOFR Loans, the Interest Period applicable
thereto. No Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans shall be advanced, continued, or created by conversion if any Default or Event of Default then
exists. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may rely on any such telephonic, telecopy or other telecommunication notice
given by any person the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized Representative without the necessity of independent
investigation, and in the event any such notice by telephone conflicts with any written confirmation such telephonic notice shall govern
if the Administrative Agent has acted in reliance thereon.
(b) Notice
to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic, telecopy or other telecommunication notice to each Lender of
any notice from the Borrower received pursuant to Section 2.5(a) above and the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made
as part of the requested Borrowing.
44
(c) Borrower’s
Failure to Notify. If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.5(a) above of the continuation or conversion
of any outstanding principal amount of a Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans before the last day of its then current Interest Period within the
period required by Section 2.5(a) and such Borrowing is not prepaid in accordance with Section 2.7, such Borrowing shall
automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Daily Simple SOFR Loans. In the event the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.5(a) above
of a Borrowing equal to the amount of a Reimbursement Obligation and has not notified the Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon (Cleveland
time) on the day such Reimbursement Obligation becomes due that it intends to repay such Reimbursement Obligation through funds not borrowed
under this Agreement, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit on such
day in the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation then due, which Borrowing shall be applied to pay the Reimbursement Obligation then
due.
(d) Disbursement
of Loans. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing, subject to
Section 7, each Lender shall make available its Loan comprising part of such Borrowing in funds immediately available at the principal
office of the Administrative Agent in Cleveland, Ohio (or at such other location in the United States as the Administrative Agent shall
designate in writing to the Borrower). The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of each new Borrowing available to the Borrower
at the Administrative Agent’s principal office in Cleveland, Ohio (or at such other location in the United States as the Administrative
Agent shall designate in writing to the Borrower), by depositing or wire transferring such proceeds to the credit of the Borrower’s
Designated Disbursement Account or as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may otherwise agree.
(e) Administrative
Agent Reliance on Lender Funding. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender prior to (or, in the case of
a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, by 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the date on which such Lender is scheduled to make payment
to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend
to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment when due and the Administrative Agent
may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower the proceeds of the Loan to be made
by such Lender and, if any Lender has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to
the Administrative Agent the amount made available to the Borrower attributable to such Lender together with interest thereon in respect
of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was made available to the Borrower and ending on (but excluding) the
date such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the related advance
was made by the Administrative Agent to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Lender is due hereunder, the Federal
Funds Rate for each such day and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Lender
to the date such payment is made by such Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. If such amount is not received from such Lender
by the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand, the Borrower will, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of the
Loan attributable to such Lender with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan,
but without such payment being considered a payment or prepayment of a Loan under Section 2.10 so that the Borrower will have no
liability under such Section with respect to such payment.
45
Section 2.6. Maturity
of Loans.
(a) Term
Loans. Each 2028 Term Loan, both for principal and interest not sooner paid, shall mature and be due and payable by the Borrower on
the 2028 Term Credit Termination Date. Each 2029 Term Loan, both for principal and interest not sooner paid, shall mature and be due and
payable by the Borrower on the 2029 Term Credit Termination Date. Each 2030 Term Loan, both for principal and interest not sooner paid,
shall mature and be due and payable by the Borrower on the 2030 Term Credit Termination Date. Each 2032 Term Loan, both for principal
and interest not sooner paid, shall mature and be due and payable by the Borrower on the 2032 Term Credit Termination Date.
(b) Revolving
Loans. Each Revolving Loan, both for principal and interest not sooner paid, shall mature and be due and payable by the Borrower on
the Revolving Credit Termination Date.
Section 2.7. Prepayments.
(a) Optional. The Borrower may prepay at any time or from time to time in whole or in part (but, if in part, then: (i) if
such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans, in an amount not less than $100,000, (ii) if such Borrowing is of
Term SOFR Loans, in an amount not less than $500,000, and (iii) in each case, in an amount such that the minimum amount required
for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.4 remains outstanding) without premium or penalty (subject to clauses (x) and (y) below)
any Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans at any time upon three (3) Business Days prior notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent
or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or Daily Simple SOFR Loans, notice delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent
no later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the date of prepayment (or, in any case, such shorter period of time then agreed
to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), such prepayment, in each case, to be made by the payment of the principal
amount to be prepaid and, in the case of any Term SOFR Loans, accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment plus (x) for
any Term SOFR Loans, any amounts due the Lenders under Section 2.10, and (y) with respect to the 2032 Term Loans, (A) for
any 2032 Term Loans prepaid between the First Amendment Effective Date and the day immediately preceding the first anniversary of the
First Amendment Effective Date, a prepayment fee in an amount equal to 2.00% of the principal amount of the 2032 Term Loans to be prepaid,
and (B) for any 2032 Term Loans prepaid between the first anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date and the day immediately
preceding the second anniversary of the First Amendment Effective Date, a prepayment fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal
amount of the 2032 Term Loans to be prepaid. No prepayment fee shall be due on any 2032 Term Loans prepaid on or after the second anniversary
of the First Amendment Effective Date.
(b) Mandatory.
(i) The Borrower shall, on each date the Revolving Credit Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.11, prepay the Revolving
Loans and, if necessary, Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations by the amount, if any, necessary to reduce the sum of the aggregate
principal amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding to the amount to which the Revolving Credit Commitments
have been so reduced.
46
(ii) Unless
the Borrower otherwise directs, prepayments of Loans under this Section 2.7(b) shall be applied, first, to Borrowings of Base
Rate Loans until payment in full thereof, second, to Daily Simple SOFR Loans until payment in full thereof, and third, to Borrowings of
Term SOFR Loans in the order in which their Interest Periods expire. Each prepayment of Loans under this Section 2.7(b) shall
be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and, in the case of any Term SOFR Loans, accrued interest thereon to the
date of prepayment together with any amounts due the Lenders under Section 2.10. Each Cash Collateralization of L/C Obligations
shall be held by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.4.
(c) Any
amount of Revolving Loans paid or prepaid before the Revolving Credit Termination Date may, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, be borrowed, repaid and borrowed again. No amount of Incremental Term Loans paid or prepaid may be reborrowed.
Section 2.8. Default
Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, the Borrower
shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all Loans
and Reimbursement Obligations, and letter of credit fees at a rate per annum equal to:
(a) for
any Base Rate Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect;
(b) for
any Daily Simple SOFR Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin plus the Daily Simple SOFR from time to time in effect;
(c) for
any Term SOFR Loan, the sum of 2.0% plus the rate of interest in effect thereon at the time of such default until the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2.0% plus the Applicable Margin for
Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect;
(d) for
any Reimbursement Obligation, the sum of 2.0% plus the amounts due under Section 2.2 with respect to such Reimbursement Obligation;
and
(e) for
any Letter of Credit, the sum of 2.0% plus the letter of credit fee due under Section 3.1 with respect to such Letter of Credit;
and
(f) for
any other amount owing hereunder not covered by clauses (a) through (e) above, the sum of 2% plus the Applicable Margin
for Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans plus the Base Rate from time to time in effect;
provided, however,
that in the absence of acceleration, any adjustments pursuant to this Section shall be made at the election of the Administrative
Agent, acting at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders, with written notice to the Borrower. While any Event of Default
exists or after acceleration, interest shall be paid on demand of the Administrative Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required
Lenders.
Section 2.9. Evidence
of Indebtedness. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness
of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and
interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
47
(b) The
Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and the Interest
Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower
to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each
Lender’s share thereof.
(c) The
entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence
of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the
Obligations in accordance with their terms.
(d) Any
Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or notes in the forms of Exhibit D-1 (in the case of its Revolving
Loans and referred to herein as a “Revolving Note”), Exhibit D-2 (in the case of its Term Loans and referred to
herein as a “Term Note”), or Exhibit D-3 (in the case of its Incremental Term Loans and referred to herein as
a “Incremental Term Note”) as applicable (Revolving Notes, Term Notes and Incremental Term Notes being hereinafter
referred to collectively as the “Notes” and individually as a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower
shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to such Lender or its registered assigns in the amount of the relevant
Term Loan, Incremental Term Loan or Revolving Loan, as applicable. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note or Notes and interest
thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.10) be represented by one or more Notes payable
to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 12.10, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee
subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in subsections (a) and
(b) above.
Section 2.10. Funding
Indemnity. If any Lender shall incur any loss, cost or expense (including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred
by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Term SOFR Loan
or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or amounts paid or prepaid to such Lender) as a result of:
(a) any
payment, prepayment or conversion of a Term SOFR Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period,
(b) any
failure (because of a failure to meet the conditions of Section 7 or otherwise) by the Borrower to borrow or continue a Term SOFR
Loan, or to convert a Base Rate Loan into a Term SOFR Loan, on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 2.5(a),
(c) any
failure by the Borrower to make any payment of principal on any Term SOFR Loan when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise), or
48
(d) any
acceleration of the maturity of a Term SOFR Loan as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder,
then, upon the demand of such Lender, the Borrower
shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If any Lender makes such a claim for
compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth the amount of such
loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense)
and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be deemed prime facie correct.
Section 2.11. Revolving
Facility Commitment Terminations. (a) Optional Revolving Credit Terminations. The Borrower shall have the right at any
time and from time to time, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period
of time agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments without premium
or penalty and in whole or in part, any partial termination to be (i) in an amount not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) allocated
ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Revolver Percentages, provided that the Revolving Credit Commitments may not
be reduced to an amount less than the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding.
Any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments below the L/C Sublimit then in effect shall reduce the L/C Sublimit by a
like amount. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of any such termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments.
(b) Any
termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section may not be reinstated.
Section 2.12. Substitution
of Lenders. In the event (a) the Borrower receives a claim from any Lender for compensation under Section 10.3 or 12.1,
(b) the Borrower receives notice from any Lender of any illegality pursuant to Section 10.1, (c) any Lender is then a Defaulting
Lender or such Lender is a Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Person who has been deemed insolvent or becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or
insolvency proceeding or a receiver or conservator has been appointed for any such Person, or (d) a Lender fails to consent to an
amendment or waiver requested under Section 12.11 at a time when the Required Lenders have approved such amendment or waiver (any
such Lender referred to in clause (a), (b), (c), or (d) above being hereinafter referred to as an “Affected Lender”),
the Borrower may, in addition to any other rights the Borrower may have hereunder or under applicable law, require, at its expense, any
such Affected Lender to assign, at par, without recourse, all of its interest, rights, and obligations hereunder (including all of its
Commitments and the Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit and other amounts at any time owing to it hereunder and the
other Loan Documents) to an Eligible Assignee specified by the Borrower, provided that (i) such assignment shall not conflict
with or violate any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority, (ii) the Borrower shall have
paid to the Affected Lender all monies (together with amounts due such Affected Lender under Section 2.10 as if the Loans owing to
it were prepaid rather than assigned) other than such principal owing to it hereunder, and (iii) the assignment is entered into in
accordance with, and subject to the consents required by, Section 12.10 (provided any assignment fees and reimbursable expenses due
thereunder shall be paid by the Borrower).
49

Facilities.
(a) Incremental
Facilities. The Borrower may request, from time to time, on any Business Day prior to the date that is sixty (60) days prior to the
Stated Revolving Credit Termination Date by written notice to the Administrative Agent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G or

Days prior to the desired effective date of such increase (the “Commitment Amount Increase”) (i) an increase to
the then existing Revolving Credit Commitments (any such increase, the “Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments”)
and/or (ii) the establishment of one or more new term loan commitments (any such increase, the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments”),
by an amount not in excess of $600,000,000900,000,000
in the aggregate so that the aggregate Commitments (with the amount of any
Term Credit Commitment or other Commitment with respect to any other term loan being deemed equal to the initial amount of such Term Loan
or other term loan when initially funded solely for purposes of determining the aggregate Commitments under this Section 2.13(a))
are not in excess of $1,200,000,0002,000,000,000
and not less than $5,000,000 individually. Each such Commitment Amount Increase Request shall identify (x) the Business Day (each
an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental
Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, shall be effective, and (y) the identity of each Lender, or other Person that is an Eligible
Assignee (each, an “Incremental Revolving Loan Lender” or an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”, as
applicable), to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments,
as applicable, be allocated and the amount of such allocations; provided that Administrative Agent may elect or decline to arrange
such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments in its sole discretion, and any Lender approached to
provide all or a portion of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in
its sole discretion, to provide an Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment or an Incremental Term Loan Commitment. Any Incremental Term
Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate series identified by the year of maturity of such Incremental Term
Loans (or month and year if there are multiple Incremental Term Loans maturing in the same year) (each, a “Series”)
of Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement.
(b) Conditions
to Incremental Loans. Such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall become effective as
of such Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such
Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Term Loan Commitments,
as applicable; (ii) all representations and warranties contained in Section 6 hereof shall be true and correct in all material
respects (where not already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, otherwise in all respects) at the time of such request

date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (where not already qualified by materiality or Material Adverse
Effect, otherwise in all respects) as of such date). The effective date of the Commitment Amount Increase shall be as set forth in the
related Commitment Amount Increase Request. Upon the effectiveness thereof, the Increasing Lenders shall advance Loans in an amount sufficient
such that after giving effect to its advance each Lender shall have outstanding its Percentage of Loans. It shall be a condition to such
effectiveness that if any Term SOFR Loans are outstanding on the date of such effectiveness, such Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to be
prepaid on such date and the Borrower shall pay any amounts owing to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof. The Borrower agrees
to pay any reasonable expenses of the Administrative Agent relating to any Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments or Incremental Term
Loan Commitments, as applicable.
50

Revolving Commitments. On any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments are effected, subject to the
satisfaction of the terms and conditions expressed in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), (i) each of the Lenders shall assign
to each of the Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders, and each of the Incremental Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the
Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), Revolving Loans and interests in Letters of Credit outstanding
on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the Revolving
Loans and interests in Letters of Credit will be held by the Lenders according to their then-existing Revolver Percentages after giving
effect to the addition of such Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments to the Revolving Loan Commitments, (ii) the share of each
respective Incremental Revolving Credit Commitment held by each respective Incremental Revolving Loan Lender shall be deemed for all purposes
a Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender and each Loan made thereunder (an “Incremental Revolving Loan”) shall be
deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and all references to the Loan Documents to Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Loans
shall be deemed to include the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Loans made pursuant to this Section and
(iii) each Incremental Revolving Loan Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment shall become a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment
with respect to its respective share of the Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments and all matters relating thereto.
(d) Incremental
Term Loans. On any Increased Amount Date on which any Incremental Term Loan Commitments of any Series are effective, subject
to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions expressed in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), (i) each Incremental Term Loan
Lender of any Series shall make a Loan to the Borrower (an “Incremental Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its
Percentage of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment of such Series, and (ii) each Incremental Term Loan Lender of any Series shall
become a Lender hereunder with respect to its Incremental Term Loan.
(e) Incremental
Loan Notices. Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s Commitment Amount Increase

notice to any Lender of Revolving Loans, the new Revolver Percentage for such Lender, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated
by clause (c) of this section. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender shall have any obligation to increase its
Commitment and no Lender’s Commitment shall be increased without its consent thereto, and each Lender may at its option, unconditionally
and without cause, decline to increase its Commitment.
51
(f) Terms
and Provisions of Incremental Loans. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Loan Commitments
of any Series shall be agreed between the Borrower and the Incremental Term Loan Lenders as applicable, and the terms and provisions
of the Incremental Revolving Loans shall be identical to the Revolving Loans; provided that the rate of interest applicable to
the Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Revolving Loans shall be agreed between the Borrower and the Incremental Revolving Loan
Lenders or Incremental Term Loan Lenders as applicable. Each Commitment Amount Increase may, without the consent of any other Lenders,
effect such amendments to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative
Agent to effect the provision of this Section 2.13.
(g) Equal
and Ratable Benefit. The Incremental Revolving Loans, Incremental Revolving Credit Commitments, Incremental Term Loans and
Incremental Term Loan Commitments established pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall constitute Loans under, and shall be entitled to
all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally
and ratable with the other Obligations from the Guarantors.
Section 2.14. Defaulting
Lenders.
(a) Defaulting
Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender,
then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i) Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this
Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.
(ii) Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative
Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.14 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative
Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second,
to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize
the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.15; fourth, as
the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting
Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth,
if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy
such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize
the L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued
under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.15; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the L/C
Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the L/C Issuer against such Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default
or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such
payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully
funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions
set forth in Section 7.1 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations
owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed
to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations are held by the Lenders
pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Revolving Credit without giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iv) below.
Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a
Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by
such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
52
(iii) Certain
Fees.
(A) Each
Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a facility fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent
allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans funded by it, and (2) its Revolver Percentage
of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.15.
(B) Each
Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only
to the extent allocable to its Revolver Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral
pursuant to Section 2.15.
(C) With
respect to any facility fee or L/C Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above,
the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender
with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender
pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the L/C Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender
to the extent allocable to the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the
remaining amount of any such fee.
53
(iv) Reallocation
of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations
shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolver Percentages (calculated without regard
to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate
Revolving Credit exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject
to Section 12.25, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting
Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(v) Cash
Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall,
without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure
in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15.
(b) Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting
Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject
to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent
applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent
may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the
Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Revolving Credit (without giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iv)),
whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect
to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c) New
Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the L/C Issuer shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase
any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
Section 2.15. Cash
Collateral for Fronting Exposure. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following
the written request of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize
the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iv) and
any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
54
(a) Grant
of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash
Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied
pursuant to clause (b) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or
claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral
is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the
Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash
Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b) Application.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.15 or Section 2.14
in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations
in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation)
for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(c) Termination
of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall
no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(c) following (i) the elimination of the
applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination
by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.14,
the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting
Exposure or other obligation.
Section 2.16 Extension
of the Stated Revolving Credit Termination Date. Borrower may, by notice to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy
to each of the Lenders) given not more than one hundred eighty (180) days and not less than sixty (60) days prior to the Stated Revolving
Credit Termination Date, request that Lenders extend the Stated Revolving Credit Termination Date for one additional one-year period.
If (w) Borrower timely delivers such notice to Administrative Agent, (x) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (y) all representations and warranties contained in Section 6 are true and correct in all material respects (except
in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or material adverse effect, in which case such representation or
warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the date the notice is delivered and on the Stated Revolving Credit Termination
Date except for representations and warranties that relate to a prior date, which shall have been true and correct in all material respects
(except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality or material adverse effect in which case such representation
or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) as of the applicable date on which they were made, and (z) the Administrative
Agent receives for the benefit of the Lenders (to be allocated pro rata based on each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments of the
date of the Stated Revolving Credit Terminated Date extension) the Extension Fee, then the Stated Revolving Credit Termination Date shall
be extended to the first anniversary of the Stated Revolving Credit Termination Date. Should the Stated Revolving Credit Termination Date
be extended in accordance with the terms and conditions of the preceding sentence, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will apply
during any such extension period. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section shall supersede any provisions in
Sections 12.7 and 12.11 to the contrary.
55
Section 2.17 Sustainability-linked
Margin Adjustments. At any time following the Closing Date, but on or prior to the date which is December 31, 2028:
(a) The
Borrower may supply the Administrative Agent with a written proposal in respect of the incorporation of margin adjustments and applicable
conditions with one or more key performance indicators with respect to certain environmental, social, and governance goals (such indicators
or ratings, “KPI Metrics”) and the corresponding sustainability performance thresholds or targets (such threshold or targets,
“SPTs”) that will constitute the reference for sustainability linked adjustments to the Applicable Margin, defined with the
assistance of the Sustainability Agent in accordance with the most updated version of the Sustainability Linked Loan Principles (SLLP)
published by the Loan Syndications and Trading Association (LSTA) available at the time. The Administrative Agent and Borrower (each acting
reasonably and in consultation with the Sustainability Agent) may propose an amendment to this Agreement (such amendment, a “Sustainability
Proposal”) solely for the purpose of incorporating the KPI Metrics, the SPTs and other related provisions.
(b) The
Administrative Agent shall notify and provide a copy of the Sustainability Proposal to the Lenders, which the Lenders shall consider in
good faith. By no later than the date falling one month after the delivery of the Sustainability Proposal, the Administrative Agent (on
behalf of the Lenders) shall carry out consultations and communicate its response on the Sustainability Proposal to the Borrower.
(c) If
all Lenders agree to the Sustainability Proposal, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement
to implement such Sustainability Proposal without any further action or requirement from any Lender and the Administrative Agent is hereby
authorized to execute any such amendment on behalf of the Lenders.
(d) If
no agreement can be reached between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of all the Lenders) within such
time period, no such sustainability-linked margin adjustments shall apply.
(e) The
maximum adjustment to the Applicable Margin on the basis of a Sustainability Proposal shall not exceed 0.05% per annum in aggregate for
all KPI Metrics.
(f) The
performance on the KPI Metrics vis-à-vis the SPTs should be verified by the Borrower’s auditor or a sustainability auditor,
which shall be a qualified external reviewer of nationally recognized standing, independent of the Borrower.
(g) Prior
to the Sustainability Proposal being agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (acting on behalf of the Lenders), the Borrower
shall not include any reference to the Agreement being classified as a sustainability-linked loan in any publicly available information.
56
Section 3. Fees.
Section 3.1. Fees.
(a) Revolving Credit Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders
in accordance with their Revolver Percentages a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) at the rate per annum equal to the
Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed) equal to the average daily
aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment, whether or not in use. Such Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
the last day of each March, June, September, and December in each year (commencing on the first such date occurring after the Closing
Date) and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, unless the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated in whole on an earlier date,
in which event the Facility Fee for the period to the date of such termination in whole shall be paid on the date of such termination.
(b) Letter
of Credit Fees. On the date of issuance or extension, or increase in the amount, of any Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.2,
the Borrower shall pay to the L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee equal to 0.125% of the face amount of (or of the increase
in the face amount of) such Letter of Credit. Quarterly in arrears, on the last day of each March, June, September, and December, commencing
on the first such date occurring after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit
of the Lenders in accordance with their Revolver Percentages, a letter of credit fee (the “L/C Participation Fee”)
at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed)
in effect during each day of such quarter applied to the daily average face amount of Letters of Credit outstanding during such quarter.
In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the L/C Issuer for its own account the L/C Issuer’s standard issuance, drawing, negotiation,
amendment, assignment, cancellation, transfer and other administrative fees for each Letter of Credit as established by the L/C Issuer
from time to time.
(c) Administrative
Agent Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own use and benefit, the fees agreed to between the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower in a fee letter dated May 30, 2025, or as otherwise agreed to in writing between them.
Section 4. Place
and Application of Payments.
Section 4.1. Place
and Application of Payments. All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations, and of all
other Obligations payable by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent by no later than 12:00 Noon (Cleveland time) on the due date thereof at the office of the Administrative Agent in Cleveland,
Ohio (or such other location in the United States as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing to the Borrower) for the benefit
of the Lender(s) or the L/C Issuer entitled thereto. Any payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received
by the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day. All such payments shall be made in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds
at the place of payment, in each case without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed
like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest on Loans and on Reimbursement Obligations in which the Lenders have purchased
Participating Interests ratably to the Lenders and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such
Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the Administrative Agent causes amounts to be distributed
to the Lenders in reliance upon the assumption that the Borrower will make a scheduled payment and such scheduled payment is not so made,
each Lender shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon in
respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was distributed to such Lender and ending on (but excluding)
the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to: (i) from the date the distribution
was made to the date two (2) Business Days after payment by such Lender is due hereunder, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day
and (ii) from the date two (2) Business Days after the date such payment is due from such Lender to the date such payment is
made by such Lender, the Base Rate in effect for each such day. With respect to any payment that Administrative Agent makes to any Lender,
L/C Issuer or other “Secured Party as to which Administrative Agent determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that any of
the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrower has not in fact
made the corresponding payment to the Administrative Agent; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount(s) received
by it from the Borrower either individually or in the aggregate (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for
any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Secured Parties severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Secured Party, in immediately available funds with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent,
at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation.
57
Anything contained herein
to the contrary notwithstanding (including, without limitation, Section 2.7(b)), all payments and collections received in respect
of the Obligations by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders after acceleration or the final maturity of the Obligations or termination
of the Revolving Credit Commitments as a result of an Event of Default shall be remitted to the Administrative Agent and distributed as
follows:
(a) first,
to the payment of (i) any outstanding costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in protecting, preserving or enforcing
rights under the Loan Documents, and in any event including all costs and expenses of a character which the Borrower has agreed to pay
the Administrative Agent under Section 12.13 (such funds to be retained by the Administrative Agent for its own account unless it
has previously been reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Lenders, in which event such amounts shall be remitted to the Lenders
to reimburse them for payments theretofore made to the Administrative Agent), and (ii) any other costs and expenses or indemnification
obligations owed to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under Section 12.13 or otherwise under this Agreement;
(b) second,
to the payment of any outstanding interest and fees due under the Loan Documents to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate
unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof;
58
(c) third,
to the payment of principal on the Loans, unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, together with amounts to be held by the Administrative Agent
as collateral security for any outstanding L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof (until the Administrative Agent is
holding an amount of cash equal to the then outstanding amount of all such L/C Obligations), and Hedging Liability, the aggregate
amount paid to, or held as collateral security for, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer and, in the case of Hedging Liability, their Affiliates
to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof;
(d) fourth,
to the payment of all other unpaid Obligations and all other indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
evidenced by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability) to be allocated pro rata
in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof; and
(e) finally,
to the Borrower or whoever else may be lawfully entitled thereto.
Section 4.2. Account
Debit. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any of the Borrower’s deposit accounts
maintained with the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for the amounts from time to time necessary to pay any then due Obligations;
provided that the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall not be under an obligation to do so and
the Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability to the Borrower or any other Person for the Administrative Agent’s failure
to do so.
Section 5. Reserved.
Section 6. Representations
and Warranties.
The Borrower represents and
warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuer as follows:
Section 6.1. Organization
and Qualification. The Borrower is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State
of Maryland, has full and adequate power to own its Property and conduct its business as now conducted, and is duly licensed or qualified
and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the nature of the Property owned or leased
by it requires such licensing or qualifying.
Section 6.2. Subsidiaries.
Each Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized,
has full and adequate power to own its Property and conduct its business as now conducted, and is duly licensed or qualified and in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the nature of the Property owned or leased by it
requires such licensing or qualifying. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock and other equity interests of each Subsidiary are
validly issued and outstanding and fully paid and nonassessable and all such shares and other equity interests owned by the Borrower or
another Subsidiary are owned, beneficially and of record, by the Borrower or such Subsidiary free and clear of all Liens. Neither the
Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has committed or is obligated to issue Stock Equivalents in any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries
to any Person not owned by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries.
59
Section 6.3. Authority
and Validity of Obligations. The Borrower has full right and authority to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents executed
by it, to make the borrowings herein provided for, to issue its Notes in evidence thereof, and to perform all of its obligations hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents executed by it. The Loan Documents delivered by the Borrower have been duly authorized, executed, and
delivered by the Borrower and constitute valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with their
terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting creditors’
rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law); and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not, nor does the performance or observance by the Borrower or
any Unencumbered Asset Subsidiary of any of the matters and things herein or therein provided for, (a) contravene or constitute a
default under any provision of law or any judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon the Borrower or any Unencumbered Asset Subsidiary
or any provision of the organizational documents (e.g., charter, certificate or articles of incorporation and by-laws, certificate
or articles of association and operating agreement, partnership agreement, or other similar organizational documents) of the Borrower
or any Unencumbered Asset Subsidiary, (b) contravene or constitute a default under any covenant, indenture or agreement of or affecting
the Borrower or any Unencumbered Asset Subsidiary or any of its Property, or (c) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien
on any Property of the Borrower or any Unencumbered Asset Subsidiary.
Section 6.4. Use
of Proceeds; Margin Stock. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Facility for refinancing its
existing indebtedness, including, but not limited to, existing indebtedness under the Prior Credit Agreement, with such Prior Credit Agreement
and all commitments thereunder being terminated, to fund real estate transactions, for its general working capital purposes and for such
other legal and proper purposes as are consistent with all applicable laws. The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System), and no part of the proceeds of any Loan or any other extension of credit made hereunder will be used to purchase or carry
any such margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock. Margin stock (as
hereinabove defined) constitutes less than 25% of the assets of the Borrower which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge or other
restriction hereunder.
Section 6.5. Financial
Reports. The consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated
statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Year then ended, and accompanying
notes thereto, which financial statements are accompanied by the audit report of Ernst & Young, LLP, independent public accountants,
and the unaudited interim consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2025, and the related consolidated
statements of income, retained earnings and cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the 3 months then ended, heretofore
furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, fairly present the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
as at said dates and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended in conformity with GAAP applied
on a consistent basis. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has contingent liabilities which are material to it other than as indicated
on such financial statements or, with respect to future periods, on the financial statements furnished pursuant to Section 8.5.
60
Section 6.6. No
Material Adverse Change. Since March 31, 2025, there has been no event which would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect on the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.
Section 6.7. Full
Disclosure. The statements and information furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the negotiation
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the commitments by the Lenders to provide all or part of the financing contemplated
hereby do not contain any untrue statements of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make the material statements contained
herein or therein not misleading, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledging that as to any projections furnished to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, the Borrower only represents that the same were prepared in good faith on the basis of information and estimates
the Borrower believed to be reasonable at the time. As of the Closing Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification
is true and correct in all respects.
Section 6.8. Trademarks,
Franchises, and Licenses. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries own, possess, or have the right to use all necessary patents, licenses,
franchises, trademarks, trade names, trade styles, copyrights, trade secrets, know how, and confidential commercial and proprietary information
to conduct their businesses as now conducted, without known conflict with any patent, license, franchise, trademark, trade name, trade
style, copyright or other proprietary right of any other Person.
Section 6.9. Governmental
Authority and Licensing. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have received all licenses, permits, and approvals of all Governmental
Authorities, if any, necessary to conduct their businesses, in each case where the failure to obtain or maintain the same would reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No investigation or proceeding which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected
to result in revocation or denial of any material license, permit or approval is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened.
Section 6.10. Good
Title. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have good and defensible title (or valid leasehold interests) to their assets as reflected
on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
(except for sales of assets permitted by Section 8.9), subject to no Liens other than such thereof as are permitted by Section 8.8.
Section 6.11. Litigation
and Other Controversies. There is no litigation or governmental or arbitration proceeding or labor controversy pending, nor to the
knowledge of the Borrower threatened, against the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their Property which, individually or in the aggregate,
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
61
Section 6.12. Taxes.
All Tax returns required to be filed by the Borrower or any Subsidiary in any jurisdiction have, in fact, been filed, and all Taxes upon
the Borrower or any Subsidiary or upon any of its Property, income or franchises, which are shown to be due and payable in such returns,
have been paid, except such Taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings which prevent enforcement
of the matter under contest and as to which adequate reserves established in accordance with GAAP have been provided or where the failure
to so file or pay would not cause a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Borrower does not
know of any proposed additional Tax assessment against it or its Subsidiaries for which adequate provisions in accordance with GAAP have
not been made on their accounts. Adequate provisions in accordance with GAAP for Taxes on the books of the Borrower and each Subsidiary
have been made for all open years, and for its current fiscal period.
Section 6.13. Approvals.
No authorization, consent, license or exemption from, or filing or registration with, any court or governmental department, agency or
instrumentality, nor any approval or consent of any other Person, is or will be necessary to the valid execution, delivery or performance
by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Loan Document, except for such approvals which have been obtained prior to the date of this Agreement
and remain in full force and effect.
Section 6.14. Affiliate
Transactions. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to any contracts or agreements with any of its Affiliates (other
than with Wholly-owned Subsidiaries) on terms and conditions which are less favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary than would be
usual and customary in similar contracts or agreements between Persons not affiliated with each other.
Section 6.15. Investment
Company. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an
“investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Section 6.16. ERISA.

79
(b) At
any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent

(i) Grant
of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash
Collateral as security for such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of L/C Obligations, to be applied

or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer as herein provided (other than Permitted Liens), or that
the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower shall, promptly upon demand by the
Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such
deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(ii) Application.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 9.3 or Section 2.15
in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations
in respect of L/C Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation)
for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(iii) Termination
of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure
shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.3(b) following (A) the elimination
of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (B) the
determination by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject
to Section 2.15 the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support
future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was
provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.
80
Section 9.4. Collateral
for Undrawn Letters of Credit. (a) If the provision of any Cash Collateral in respect of any or all outstanding Letters of Credit

shall forthwith provide such Cash Collateral, to be held by the Administrative Agent as provided in subsection (b) below.
(b) All
Cash Collateral delivered pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be held by the Administrative Agent in one or more separate
collateral accounts (each such account, and the credit balances, properties, and any investments from time to time held therein, and any
substitutions for such account, any certificate of deposit or other instrument evidencing any of the foregoing and all proceeds of and
earnings on any of the foregoing being collectively called the “Collateral Account”) as security for, and for application
by the Administrative Agent (to the extent available) to, the reimbursement of any payment under any Letter of Credit then or thereafter
made by the L/C Issuer, and to the payment of the unpaid balance of all other Obligations (and to all Hedging Liability and Funds Transfer
and Deposit Account Liability). The Collateral Account shall be held in the name of and subject to the exclusive dominion and control
of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuer. If and when requested by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall invest funds held in the Collateral Account from time to time in direct obligations of, or obligations
the principal of and interest on which are unconditionally guaranteed by, the United States of America with a remaining maturity of one
year or less, provided that the Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized to sell investments held in the Collateral Account
when and as required to make payments out of the Collateral Account for application to amounts due and owing from the Borrower to the
L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of Sections 2.14 and 2.15, (i) if
the Borrower shall have made payment of all obligations referred to in subsection (a) above required under Section 2.7(b),
if any, at the request of the Borrower the Administrative Agent shall release to the Borrower amounts held in the Collateral Account so
long as at the time of the release and after giving effect thereto no Default or Event of Default exists, and (ii) if the Borrower
shall have made payment of all obligations referred to in subsection (a) above required under Section 9.2 or 9.3, so long
as no Letters of Credit, Commitments, Loans or other Obligations, Hedging Liability, or Funds Transfer and Deposit Account Liability remain
outstanding, at the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall release to the Borrower any remaining amounts held in the
Collateral Account.
Section 9.5. Notice
of Default. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower under Section 9.1(d) promptly upon being requested
to do so by any Lender and shall thereupon notify all the Lenders thereof.
Section 10. Change
in Circumstances.
Section 10.1. Change
of Law. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if at any time any Change in Law makes
it unlawful for any Lender to make or continue to maintain any SOFR Loans or to perform its obligations as contemplated hereby, such
Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and such Lender’s obligations to make or maintain SOFR Loans under this
Agreement shall be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain SOFR Loans. The Borrower shall prepay
on demand the outstanding principal amount of any such affected SOFR Loans, together with all interest accrued thereon and all other
amounts then due and payable to such Lender under this Agreement; provided, however, subject to all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Borrower may then elect to borrow the principal amount of the affected SOFR Loans from such Lender by means of Base Rate
Loans from such Lender, which Base Rate Loans shall not be made ratably by the Lenders but only from such affected Lender.
81
Section 10.2. Inability
to Determine Rates; Effect of Benchmark Transition Event. (a) Subject to Section 10.2(b), if, on or prior to the first day
of any Interest Period for any SOFR Loan:
(i) the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR”
or “Daily Simple SOFR”, as applicable, cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or
(ii) the
Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a conversion thereto or a continuation
thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, and the Required Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative
Agent,
then the Administrative
Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any
obligation of the Lenders to make or continue SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans and, in the case
of a Term SOFR Loan, the affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the
Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected
SOFR Loans and, in the case of a Term SOFR Loans, the affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have
converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any
outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into Base Rate Loans immediately or, in the case of Term SOFR Loans,
at the end of the applicable Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant
to Section 2.10.
(b) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any interest rate swap agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document”
for the purposes of this Section 10.2(b)):

related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement
is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement
Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such
Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition
of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for
all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to,
or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has
not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
82
(2) Benchmark
Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement,
the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action
or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(3) Notice;
Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) the
implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration,
adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the removal or reinstatement
of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 10.2(b). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative
Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 10.2(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 10.2(b).
(4) Unavailability
of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection
with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference
Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such
rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administration 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, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest
Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative,
non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently
displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not or will not be representative,
then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for
all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
83
(5) Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower
may revoke any pending request for a SOFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued
during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request
for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. 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 Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark,
as applicable, will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.”
Section 10.3. Increased
Cost and Reduced Return. (a) Increased Costs
Generally. If any Change in Law:
(i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the FRB for determining the maximum
reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency
funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in regulation D)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance
charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender
or the L/C Issuer;
(ii) subject
any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of
the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or
other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) impose
on any Lender or the L/C Issuer any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such
Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be
to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining
its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such other Recipient of participating
in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit),
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the L/C Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender,
the L/C Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the L/C Issuer
or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
84
(b) Capital
Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any lending
office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements,
has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital
of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitments
of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the
L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company
could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the
policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within
15 days after demand by such Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower will pay to such Lender
or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s
or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates
for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender
or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and
delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case
may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall
not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower
shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions
suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower
of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention
to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 10.4. Lending
Offices. Each Lender may, at its option, elect to make its Loans hereunder at the branch, office or Affiliate specified on the appropriate
signature page hereof (each a “Lending Office”) for each type of Loan available hereunder or at such other of
its branches, offices or affiliates as it may from time to time elect and designate in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent. To the extent reasonably possible, a Lender shall designate an alternative branch or funding office with respect to its SOFR Loans
to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Section 10.3 or to avoid the unavailability of SOFR Loans under Section 10.2,
so long as such designation is not otherwise disadvantageous to the Lender.
Section 10.5. Discretion
of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and
maintain its funding of all or any part of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of
this Agreement all determinations hereunder with respect to Term SOFR Loans shall be made as if each Lender had actually funded and maintained
each Term SOFR Loan through the purchase of deposits in the interbank market having a maturity corresponding to such Loan’s Interest
Period, and bearing an interest rate equal to Term SOFR for such Interest Period.
85
Section 11. The
Administrative Agent.
Section 11.1. Appointment
and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints KeyBank National Association to act on its behalf
as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions
on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with
such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such
provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other
similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create
or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
Section 11.2. Rights
as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a
Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender”
or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving
as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business
with, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without
any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
Section 11.3. Action
by Administrative Agent; Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties:
(i) shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii) shall
not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents),
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel,
may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance
of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification
or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases
be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Document unless it first receives any further assurances
of its indemnification from the Lenders that it may require, including prepayment of any related expenses and any other protection it
requires against any and all costs, expense, and liability which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any
such action; and
86
(iii) shall
not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not
be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained
by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b) Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent
under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as
the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.2, 9.3,
9.4 and 12.11), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
by final and nonappealable judgment. Any such action taken or failure to act pursuant to the foregoing shall be binding on all Lenders.
The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given
to the Administrative Agent in writing by the Borrower, a Lender, or the L/C Issuer.
(c) Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be responsible for or have any duty or obligation to any Lender or the L/C
Issuer or participant or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements
or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness
or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.2 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to
be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
Section 11.4. Reliance
by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying and shall
not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, communication, consent, statement, instrument, document or
other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any
statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall be fully protected in
relying and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of
a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction
of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer
unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of
such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the
Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
87
Section 11.5. Delegation
of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any
other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The
exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and
any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities as well as activities
as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to
the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted
with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
Section 11.6. Resignation
of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C
Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with
the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such
bank with an office in the United States of America. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall
have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or
such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative
Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective
in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b) If
the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required
Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative
Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders
and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal
Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective
Date.
88
(c) With
effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity
payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by,
to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time, if any,
as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment
as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or
removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 11 and Section 12.13
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting
as Administrative Agent.
Section 11.7. Non-Reliance
on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or
not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder
or thereunder.
Section 11.8. L/C
Issuer. The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated
therewith. The L/C Issuer shall each have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Section 11
with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to
be issued by it and the Applications pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent”,
as used in this Section 11, included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided
in this Agreement with respect to the L/C Issuer. Any resignation by the Person then acting as Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.6
shall also constitute its resignation or the resignation of its Affiliate as the L/C Issuer except as it may otherwise agree. If such
Person then acting as the L/C Issuer so resigns, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder
with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as the L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations
with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in Reimbursement Obligations
pursuant to Section 2.2. Upon the appointment by the Borrower of a successor L/C Issuer hereunder (which successor shall in all cases
be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts that remain owing to the
retiring L/C Issuer), and (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents other than with respect to its outstanding Letters of Credit, and (iii) upon the request of the resigning
L/C Issuer, the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the
time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigning L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the
resigning L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.
89
Section 11.9. Designation
of Additional Agents. The Administrative Agent shall have the continuing right, for purposes hereof, at any time and from time to
time to designate one or more of the Lenders (and/or its or their Affiliates) as “syndication agents,” “documentation
agents,” “sustainability agents”, “book runners,” “lead arrangers,” “arrangers,”
or other designations for purposes hereto, but such designation shall have no substantive effect, and such Lenders and their Affiliates
shall have no additional powers, duties or responsibilities as a result thereof.
Section 11.10. Authorization
of Administrative Agent to File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other
judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation
shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent
shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, 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, L/C Obligations 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 Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts
due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents including, but not limited to, Sections 2.10,
3.1, 10.3 and 12.13) 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 the L/C Issuer
to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative
Agent under Sections 3.1 and 12.13. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of
the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.
90
Section 11.11. Recovery
of Erroneous Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent determines
(in its sole and absolute discretion) that it has made a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, L/C Issuer or other Secured Party,
whether or not in respect of a Secured Obligation due and owing by any Loan Party at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount,
then in any such event, each such Person receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Person in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each other Secured Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses,
including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid
by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another), “good consideration”, “change of position” or similar
defenses (whether at law or in equity) to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each
Lender, L/C Issuer or other Secured Party that received a Rescindable Amount promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Person
comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount. Each Person’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section shall
survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a
Lender or L/C Issuer, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Secured
Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
Section 12. Miscellaneous.
Section 12.1. Taxes.
(a) Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes the L/C Issuer and the term
“applicable law” includes FATCA.
(b) Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without
deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion
of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then
the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted
or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the
sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such
deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal
to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
91
(c) Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d) Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount
of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable
or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
(e) Indemnification
by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor,
for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already
indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to
do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.10(d) relating
to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable
or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate
as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender
under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to
the Administrative Agent under this subsection (e).
(f) Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.
(g) Status
of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made
under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or
not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the
preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 12.1(g)(ii)(A),
(ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial
position of such Lender.
92
(ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) any
Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent),
executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following
is applicable:
(i) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction
of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other
applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding
Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(ii) executed
originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(iii) in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the 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 the 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 “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or
(iv) to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS
Form W-8BEN, a U.S. 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 U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect
partner;
93
(C) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any
other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed,
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if
a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were
to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of
the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law
and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable
law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations
under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount
to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments
made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if
any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form
or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h) Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this
Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under
this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified
party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying
party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (h) (plus
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required
to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (h), in no event
will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (h) the payment
of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if
the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification
payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified
party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying
party or any other Person.
94
(i) Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent
or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 12.2. Other
Taxes. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand, and indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuer harmless
from, any Other Taxes payable in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including interest and penalties, in the event
any such taxes are assessed, irrespective of when such assessment is made and whether or not any credit is then in use or available hereunder.
Section 12.3. No
Waiver, Cumulative Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or any Lender, or on the
part of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations, in the exercise of any power or right under any Loan Document shall operate
as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. The rights and remedies hereunder of the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Lenders, and of the holder or holders of any of the Obligations are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any
rights or remedies which any of them would otherwise have.
Section 12.4. Non-Business
Days. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day on which date such payment shall be due and payable. In the case of any payment of principal
falling due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest on such principal amount shall continue to accrue during such extension at
the rate per annum then in effect, which accrued amount shall be due and payable on the next scheduled date for the payment of interest.
Section 12.5. Survival
of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in any other Loan Document or in certificates given pursuant
hereto or thereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall continue in full
force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as any credit is in use or available hereunder.
Section 12.6. Survival
of Indemnities. All indemnities and other provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer of amounts sufficient
to protect the yield of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer with respect to the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit, including, but not limited
to, Sections 2.10, 10.3, and 12.13, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment of the
Obligations.
95
Section 12.7. Sharing
of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect
of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion
of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as
provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase
(for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments
as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate
amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:
(i) if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall
be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in
L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this
Section shall apply).
The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees,
to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 12.8. Notices.
(a) Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be in writing (including,
without limitation, notice by telecopy) and shall be given to the relevant party at its address or telecopier number set forth below,
or such other address or telecopier number as such party may hereafter specify by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
given by courier, by United States certified or registered mail, by telecopy or by other telecommunication device capable of creating
a written record of such notice and its receipt. Notices under the Loan Documents to any Lender shall be addressed to its address or
telecopier number set forth on its Administrative Questionnaire; and notices under the Loan Documents to the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, or the L/C Issuer shall be addressed to its respective address or telecopier number set forth below:

shall be effective (i) if given by telecopier, when such telecopy is transmitted to the telecopier number specified in this Section or
in the relevant Administrative Questionnaire and a confirmation of such telecopy has been received by the sender, (ii) if given by

be effective as provided in said subsection (b).
(b) Electronic
Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic
communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided
that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to Sections 2.2, 2.3 and 2.6 if such Lender
or L/C Issuer, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Sections by electronic
communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it
hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be
limited to particular notices or communications.
Unless the Administrative
Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s
receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available,
return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall
be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient, at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i),
of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that, for
both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of
the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for
the recipient.
(c) Change
of Address, etc. Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by
notice to the other parties hereto.
97
(d) Platform.
(i) The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications (as defined
below) available to the L/C Issuer and the other Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a
substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).
(ii) The
Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agent Parties (as defined below) do not warrant the adequacy
of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied
or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party
rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform.
In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any
liability to the Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation,
direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising
out of the Borrower’s, any Subsidiary’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Platform.
“Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided
by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed
to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through
the Platform.
Section 12.9. Counterparts.
(a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties hereto on separate counterpart signature
pages, and all such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract
among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 7.2, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have
been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken
together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 7.2, the
L/C Issuer and each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied
with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the L/C Issuer
or a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender or L/C Issuer prior to the Closing Date specifying
its objection thereto.
(b) Electronic
Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import
in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures 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 Electronics Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act.
98
Section 12.10. Successors
and Assigns. (a) Successors
and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of
this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section, or (iii) by
way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (e) of this Section (and any
other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied,
shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby,
Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby,
the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason
of this Agreement.
(b) Any
Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees 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 at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment
shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum
Amounts. (A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment
and the Loans and participation interest in L/C Obligations at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender,
an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in subsection
(b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans and participation
interest in L/C Obligations outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the
principal outstanding balance of the Loans and participation interest in L/C Obligations of the assigning Lender subject to each
such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and AcceptanceAssumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Effective Date” is specified in the Assignment
and AcceptanceAssumption,
as of the Effective Date specified in such Assignment and AcceptanceAssumption)
shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(ii) Proportionate
Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment.
99
(iii) Required
Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 12.10(b)(i)(B) and, in
addition:
(A) the
consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or
an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto
by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and provided,
further, that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Facilities;
(B) the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect
of the Revolving Credit if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment in respect of such Facility,
an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and
(C) the
consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases
the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).
(iv) Assignment
and AcceptanceAssumption.
The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and AcceptanceAssumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except no fee shall be required for an assignment by a Lender to an Approved
Fund related to such Lender), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v) No
Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to (a) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or (b) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender
hereunder would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof.
(vi) No
Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust
for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person).
(vii) Certain
Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment
shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall
make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate
(which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including
funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but
not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay
and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each
other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all
Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any
assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance
with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes
of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
100
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of
an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall
cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 12.7 and 12.13 with respect to facts and
circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly
agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder
arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under
this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a
participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.
(c) Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Cleveland,
Ohio a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders,
and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the
terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error,
and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to
the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower
and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to
any Person (other than a natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit
of a natural person) or the Borrower or the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in
all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments
and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for
the indemnity under Section 11.8 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
101
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 Section 12.11 that expressly relate to amendments requiring the unanimous consent of the Lenders in the Revolving Credit. The
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 10.3 and 12.1 (subject to the requirements
and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 12.1(g) (it being understood that the documentation required
under Section 12.1(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired
its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees
to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.12 and 10.4 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section;
and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 10.3 or 12.1, with respect to any participation,
than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment
results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation
agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions
of Section 2.12 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits
of Section 12.14 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.7 as though it
were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register
on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that
no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant
or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under
any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter
of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The
entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining
a Participant Register.
(e) Certain
Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or
assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
102
Section 12.11. Amendments.
Subject to Sections 2.17 and 10.2, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only
if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by (a) the Borrower, (b) the Required Lenders, and (c) if the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer are affected thereby, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, as applicable;
provided that:
(i) no
amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 12.11 shall (A) increase any Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Credit Commitment
of any Lender without the consent of such Lender or (B) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any
principal of or interest on any Loan or of any Reimbursement Obligation or of any fee payable hereunder without the consent of the Lender
to which such payment is owing or which has committed to make such Loan or Letter of Credit (or participate therein) hereunder, it being
agreed and understood that any change in any ratio used in the calculation of any interest or fees due hereunder (including any component
definition thereof) shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees hereunder; provided, however, that only the
consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the default rate provided in Section 2.8 or to waive any obligation of
the Borrower to pay interest or fees at the default rate as set forth therein, (C) extend the Revolving Credit Termination Date without
the consent of each affected Revolving Lender, or (D) extend the 2028 Term Credit Termination Date, the 2029 Term Credit Termination
Date, the 2030 Term Credit Termination Date, the 2032 Term Credit Termination Date or the maturity date of any Incremental Term Loan without
the consent of each affected Term Loan Lender or Incremental Term Loan Lender, as applicable;
(ii) no
amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 12.11 shall, unless signed by each Lender, change the definition of Required Lenders,
amend the waterfall provisions of Section 4.1, amend the provisions of Section 12.7, change the provisions of this Section 12.11
or affect the number of Lenders required to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and
(iii) no
amendment or waiver pursuant to this Section 12.11 shall, unless signed by each Revolving Lender, change the definition of Required
Revolving Lenders.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
(1) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment,
waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the
applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not
be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of
all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require
the consent of such Defaulting Lender, (2) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an obvious error
or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision, (3) guarantees and related documents executed by the Borrower or any guarantor
in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be amended, supplemented
or waived without the consent of any Lender if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order to (x) comply with local
law or advice of local counsel, (y) cure ambiguities, omissions, mistakes or defects or (z) cause such guarantee or other document
to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (4) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without
the input or consent of any other Lender, effect amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in the
reasonable opinion of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to effect the provisions of Section 2.13.
103
Section 12.12. Headings.
Section headings used in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.
Section 12.13. Costs
and Expenses; Indemnification. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection
with the preparation, negotiation, syndication, and administration of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, in connection with the preparation and execution of the Loan Documents,
and any amendment, waiver or consent related thereto, whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated. The Borrower
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and each Lender, and any other holder of any Obligations outstanding hereunder,
all costs and expenses reasonably incurred or paid by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, such Lender, or any such holder, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs, in connection with any Default or Event of Default hereunder or in
connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding
under the United States Bankruptcy Code involving the Borrower as a debtor thereunder). The Borrower further agrees to indemnify the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender, and any security trustee therefor, and their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents, financial advisors, and consultants (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against all losses, claims,
damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
for any such Indemnitee and all reasonable expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not the Indemnitee is a party thereto,
or any settlement arrangement arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their
respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case
of Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer, and their Related Parties, the administration and enforcement of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding under the
United States Bankruptcy Code involving the Borrower as a debtor thereunder), (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed
use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the
documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any Environmental
Claim or Environmental Liability, including with respect to the actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from
any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based
on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto (including, without limitation, any settlement arrangement arising from or relating to the foregoing);
provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. The Borrower, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or
a Lender at any time, shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or such Lender for any legal or other expenses (including,
without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any such Indemnitee) incurred in connection with investigating
or defending against any of the foregoing (including any settlement costs relating to the foregoing) except if the same is determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to be directly due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Indemnitee. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against, and agrees that it will
hold the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any claim, demand, or liability for any such broker’s or finder’s
fees alleged to have been incurred in connection herewith and any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising in connection
with any such claim, demand, or liability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives,
any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to
direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any agreement
or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use
of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended
recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission
systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final
and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. All amounts due under
this Section shall be payable promptly after demand therefor. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.
104
Section 12.14. Set-off.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the L/C Issuer, and each of their respective Affiliates is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations
(in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of
the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the L/C Issuer
or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower
may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch,
office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall
exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further
application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting
Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders, and
(y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations
owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective
Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender,
the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity
of such setoff and application.
Section 12.15. Entire
Agreement. The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof
and any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby.
Section 12.16. Governing
Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except as otherwise specified therein), and the rights and duties of the parties
hereto, shall be construed and determined in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.
Section 12.17. Severability
of Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document which is unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability
of such provision in any other jurisdiction. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable mandatory provisions of law, and all the
provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which
may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
invalid or unenforceable.
Section 12.18. Excess
Interest. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, no such provision shall require
the payment or permit the collection of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by applicable law
to be charged for the use or detention, or the forbearance in the collection, of all or any portion of the Loans or other obligations
outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided
for, or is adjudicated to be provided for, herein or in any other Loan Document, then in such event (a) the provisions of this Section shall
govern and control, (b) the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest, (c) any Excess Interest that the Administrative
Agent or any Lender may have received hereunder shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, be (i) applied as a credit against
the then outstanding principal amount of Obligations hereunder and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (not to exceed the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law), (ii) refunded to the Borrower, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, (d) the interest
rate payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be automatically subject to reduction to the maximum lawful contract rate
allowed under applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
deemed to have been, and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction in the relevant interest rate, and (e) the Borrower
shall not have any action against the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection
of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any of the Borrower’s Obligations is
calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less
than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on the Borrower’s Obligations shall remain at the Maximum Rate until the Lenders
have received the amount of interest which such Lenders would have received during such period on the Borrower’s Obligations had
the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.
105
Section 12.19. Construction.
The parties acknowledge and agree, to the extent permitted by law, that the Loan Documents shall not be construed more favorably in favor
of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially
to the negotiation of the Loan Documents. The provisions of this Agreement relating to Subsidiaries shall only apply during such times
as the Borrower has one or more Subsidiaries.
Section 12.20. Lender’s
and L/C Issuer’s Obligations Several. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereunder are several and not
joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Lenders or the L/C Issuer pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute
the Lenders and the L/C Issuer a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.
Section 12.21. No
Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection
with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges
its Subsidiaries’ and Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, or any Lender is intended to be or has been created in
respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuer, or any Lender has advised or is advising the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries on other matters, (ii) the arranging
and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders are arm’s-length
commercial transactions between the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuer, and the Lenders, on the other hand, (iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have consulted its own legal, accounting,
regulatory and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate and (iv) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are capable of
evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan
Documents; and (b) (i) the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders each is and has been acting solely as a principal
and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent
or fiduciary for the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates, or any other Person; (ii) none of the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates with respect to
the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts
of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, any Subsidiary and their
Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests
to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower, on behalf of itself and its
Subsidiaries, hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, and the Lenders
with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated
hereby.
106
Section 12.22. Submission
to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. The Borrower hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District
Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York, New York for purposes
of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have
to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court
has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer,
and the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to any
Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby.
Section 12.23. USA
Patriot Act. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements
of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name
and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the L/C Issuer to identify the Borrower in accordance
with the Act.
Section 12.24. Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees
and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors to the extent any such Person has a need to know such Information
(it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will first be informed of the confidential nature of such Information
and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations
or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those
of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction
relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and its obligations, (g) with the prior written consent of the Borrower, (h) to the
extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower
or any Subsidiary or any of their directors, officers, employees or agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, (i) to
rating agencies if requested or required by such agencies in connection with a rating relating to the Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments
hereunder, or (j) to entities which compile and publish information about the syndicated loan market, provided that only basic
information about the pricing and structure of the transaction evidenced hereby may be disclosed pursuant to this subsection (j).
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries
or from any other Person on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a non-confidential
basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or from any other Person on behalf of the Borrower or any of the
Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of
such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
107
Section 12.25. Acknowledgement
and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any
other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto (including any party becoming a party hereto
by virtue of an Assignment and Assumption) acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan
Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution
Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the
application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which
may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b) the
effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a
reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a
conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution,
its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments
of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
or
(iii) the
variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution
Authority.
108
Section 12.26. [Reserved].
Section 12.27. Acknowledgement
Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging
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.
(b) As
used in this Section, the following terms have the following meanings:
“BHC
Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance
with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.
“Covered
Entity” means any of the following:
(i) a
“covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §252.82(b);
(ii) a
“covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §47.3(b); or
109
(iii) a
“covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §382.2(b).
“Default
Rights” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§252.81,
47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“QFC”
has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C.
5390(c)(8)(D).
