Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
Odeon Credit Agreement
On April 17, 2026, Odeon Finco PLC (“Odeon”),
a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Odeon Cinemas Group Limited (“OCGL”) and an indirect subsidiary of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc.
( “AMC”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Odeon Credit Agreement”), by and among Odeon, as borrower, OCGL,
as the company, the lenders party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as administrative agent and security agent,
pursuant to which Odeon borrowed $425,000,000 of new term loans maturing in 2031 (the “Odeon Term Loans”). The proceeds from
the Odeon Term Loans were used to fund the previously announced full redemption (the “Odeon Notes Redemption”) of Odeon’s
outstanding 12.750% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Odeon Notes”) and to pay related fees, costs, premiums and expenses.
In connection with the Odeon Notes Redemption, the Odeon Notes will be delisted from the Official List of The International Stock Exchange.
Interest, Amortization, Guarantees and Security
The Odeon Credit Agreement provides for the Odeon
Term Loans in an initial aggregate principal amount of $425,000,000 and which mature on April 17, 2031. The Odeon Term Loans
bear interest at a fixed 10.50% interest rate and are subject to amortization of principal, payable in quarterly installments on the fifteenth
day of each April, July, October and January (commencing on July 15, 2026), equal to 1.00% per annum. The remaining aggregate
principal amount outstanding (together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount) of the Odeon Term Loans is payable at
maturity.
The Odeon Term Loans are, subject to limited exceptions,
fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by OCGL and certain subsidiaries of OCGL (the “OCGL Subsidiaries”). The
Odeon Term Loans are also fully and unconditionally guaranteed by AMC, on a standalone and unsecured basis, pursuant to the terms of a
Guarantee Agreement dated as of April 17, 2026 between AMC and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the “AMC Guaranty”).
The Odeon Term Loans are secured as of April 17,
2026, or will be secured on a post-closing basis, and each subject to certain agreed security principles, by OCGL and the OCGL Subsidiaries
on a first-priority basis by (i) a fixed charge or security interest, as applicable, over the shares of Odeon, OCGL and certain of
the OCGL Subsidiaries; (ii) an assignment of rights held by Odeon under a proceeds loan agreement between Odeon and OCGL with respect
to the proceeds of the Odeon Term Loans; (iii) a fixed charge or security interest, as applicable, over certain bank accounts, intercompany
receivables, intellectual property rights and other assets of Odeon, OCGL and certain of the OCGL Subsidiaries; and (iv) a floating
charge over substantially all other assets of Odeon, OCGL and certain of the OCGL Subsidiaries. AMC has not pledged any of its assets
to secure the Odeon Term Loans or the related guarantees and the AMC Guaranty does not benefit from any security interest over the collateral
or any other asset.
Covenants and Events of Default
The Odeon Credit Agreement contains covenants
that limit OCGL and the OCGL Subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness or guarantee indebtedness;
(ii) create liens; (iii) declare or pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions to stockholders; (iv) make
investments; (v) enter into transactions with its affiliates; (vi) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of their respective assets; and (vii) maintain cash in the accounts of OCGL and the OCGL Subsidiaries. These covenants are subject
to a number of important limitations and exceptions. The Odeon Credit Agreement also provides for events of default, which, if any of
them occur, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding
Odeon Term Loans to become immediately due and payable.
The foregoing summaries of the Odeon Credit Agreement
and the AMC Guaranty do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Odeon Credit Agreement and
the AMC Guaranty attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Second Amendment to Muvico Credit Agreement
In connection with the Odeon Credit Agreement,
on April 17, 2026, AMC, as borrower, Muvico, LLC, as borrower, and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent
and collateral agent, entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement dated as of July 22,
2024, as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2025 (the “Muvico Credit Agreement”),
by and among AMC, as borrower, Muvico, LLC, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative
agent and collateral agent.
The Second Amendment, among other things, amends
the Muvico Credit Agreement to update the existing covenants and include additional covenants to make them as restrictive as those in
the Odeon Credit Agreement.
The foregoing summary of the Second Amendment
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Second Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3
and is incorporated herein by reference.

EBITDA and/or Consolidated Total Assets), such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken (subject
to Section 1.07), such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and
no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring
after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.
Section 1.04 Effectuation
of Transactions. All references herein to the Company, the Borrower, and their subsidiaries shall be deemed to be references to such
Persons, and all the representations and warranties of the Company, the Borrower, and the other Loan Parties contained in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed made, in each case, after giving effect to the Transactions to occur on the Effective Date,
unless the context otherwise requires.
Section 1.05 Currency
Translation; Rates.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of any determination under Article V, Article VI
or Article VII or any determination under any other provision of this Agreement expressly requiring the use of a current
exchange rate, all amounts incurred, outstanding or proposed to be incurred or outstanding in currencies other than dollars shall be
translated into dollars at the spot rate (rounded to the nearest currency unit, with 0.5 or more of a currency unit being rounded upward);
provided, however, that for purposes of determining compliance with Article VI with respect
to the amount of any Indebtedness, Investment, Disposition or Restricted Payment in a currency other than dollars, no Default or
Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness
or Investment is incurred or Disposition or Restricted Payment is made; provided, further, that, for the
avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.05 shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including
with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness or Investment may be incurred or Disposition or Restricted Payment made at any time
under such Sections. For purposes of any determination of Consolidated Total Debt, amounts in currencies other than dollars shall be
translated into dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the most recently delivered financial statements pursuant to
Section 5.01(a) or (b). Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes
of construction as the Administrative Agent (at the Direction of the Required Lenders) may from time to time specify with the Company
and the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any
country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency.
Section 1.06 Limited
Condition Transactions.
In connection with any action
being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:
(i) determining
compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio;
55
(ii) determining
the accuracy of representations and warranties and/or whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or
any subset of Defaults or Events of Default) (other than for purposes of satisfying the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
(a) and (b)); or
(iii) testing
availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated
Total Assets);
in each case, at the option of the Company (the
Company’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”),
with such option to be exercised on or prior to the date of execution of the definitive agreements related to such Limited Condition
Transaction, the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive
agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving
Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including
any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent
Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Company could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with
such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.
For the avoidance of doubt,
if the Company has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT
Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA
of the Company or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction
or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations; however, if any ratios improve
or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized. If the Company has made an LCT
Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of the incurrence ratios subject to
the LCT Election on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition
Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or
expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma
basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness
or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.
Section 1.07 Cashless
Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent that any
Lender, in its sole discretion, extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Loans with
loans incurred under a new credit facility, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of
a “cashless roll” by such Lender pursuant to settlement mechanisms approved by the Company and the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement hereunder or
any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in dollars”, “in immediately available funds”, “in cash”
or any other similar requirement.
Section 1.08 [Reserved].
Section 1.09 Times
of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard,
as applicable).

Article II
THE
CREDITS
Section 2.01 Commitments.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on the Effective
Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment, and upon the disbursement of such Term Loan in accordance
with the terms hereof, such Lender’s Commitment shall terminate and be deemed to be $0. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01
and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
59
Section 2.02 Loans
and Borrowings.
(a) Each
Borrowing shall be made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any
Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder.
(b) Each
Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided
that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) Upon
the Effective Date of this Agreement, interest shall begin to accrue on the full amount thereof as of such date. Once repaid, the Term
Loans may not be reborrowed.
Section 2.03 Requests
for Borrowings. To request a Term Loan Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request, by delivering to
the Administrative Agent, a Borrowing Request. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m.,
New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Borrowing Date (or such shorter period as the Required Lenders
and the Administrative Agent are willing to accommodate). Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be delivered by
hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent and shall be signed by the Borrower. Each such
Borrowing Request shall specify the following information:
(i) [reserved];
(ii) the
aggregate amount of such Borrowing;
(iii) the
date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iv) [reserved];
(v) [reserved];
and
(vi) the
location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.
Promptly following receipt
of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and
of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
Section 2.04 [Reserved].
Section 2.05 [Reserved].
Section 2.06 Funding
of Borrowings.
(a) Each
Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in
dollars by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the Applicable Account of the Administrative Agent most-recently designated by it for such
purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts
so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in the Borrowing Request.
60
(b) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance on such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender
has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such share on demand of the Administrative Agent. If such Lender does not pay such
corresponding amount forthwith upon demand of the Administrative Agent therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower,
and the Borrower agrees to pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand. The Administrative Agent shall
also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount, for each day from and including the
date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the
case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be its cost
of funding such amount, or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.13.
If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such
Borrowing.
(c) Obligations
of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required
hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan.
Section 2.07 [Reserved].
Section 2.08 [Reserved].
Section 2.09 Repayment
of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) The
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10.
(b) 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, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender
from time to time hereunder.
(c) The
Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall record in the Register (i) the amount of each Loan
made hereunder, (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 for the account of the Lenders and
each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The
entries made in the accounts and the Register maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima
facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any Lender
or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or records, or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation
of the Borrower to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between
the entries made pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section, the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall control.
61
(e) Any
Lender may request through the Administrative Agent that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such
Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form provided by such Lender and approved by the Borrower.
Section 2.10 Amortization
of Term Loans; Repayment at Maturity.
(a) Subject
to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall repay Term Loan Borrowings on
the fifteenth day of each April, July, October and January (commencing on July 15, 2026) in the principal amount of Term
Loans equal to (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans as of the Effective Date multiplied by (ii) 0.25%.
(b) To
the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
(c) Any
prepayment of Term Loan Borrowings (x) pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) shall be applied to reduce the subsequent

be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled and outstanding repayments of the Term Loan Borrowings to be made pursuant to this Section in
inverse order of maturity.
(d) Each
repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments of Term Loan Borrowings shall
be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.
Section 2.11 Prepayment
of Loans.
(a) (i) The
Borrower shall have the right (and no Lender may decline to receive) at any time and from time to time to prepay the Borrowings in whole
or in part. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(i) shall be accompanied by the payment of (A) accrued
and unpaid interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid and (B) the Applicable Premium payable in connection with
such prepayment.
(ii) Notwithstanding
anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower

Range Prepayment Offers or Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, in each case made in accordance with this Section 2.11(a)(ii);
provided that (x) the Borrower shall not make any Borrowing of Indebtedness in the form of revolving loans to fund
any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and (y) the Borrower shall not initiate any action under this Section 2.11(a)(ii) in
order to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment unless (I) at least ten (10) Business Days shall have passed since the consummation

Effective Date; or (II) at least three (3) Business Days shall have passed since the date the Borrower was notified that no
Term Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loan at the Specified Discount, within the Discount Range or at any discount

62
(B) (1) Subject
to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Term Loan
Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent and the Administrative Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of
a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that
(I) any
such offer shall be made available to each Lender with respect to all of the Loans,
(II) any
such offer shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”)
with respect to each applicable tranche, the tranche or tranches of Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount
to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified
Discounts and/or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an
event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section),
(III) the
Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess
thereof and
(IV) each
such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date.
The Auction Agent will promptly provide
each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response
to be completed and returned by each such Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Specified
Discount Prepayment Response Date”).
(2) Each
relevant Term Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response
Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its relevant then outstanding Term Loans at the Specified Discount and,
if so (such accepting Term Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount and the tranches of
such Term Lender’s Term Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount. Each acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a
Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Term Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received
by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept the Borrower Offer
of Specified Discount Prepayment.
63
(3) If
there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrower will make prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this
paragraph (B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and
tranches of Term Loans specified in such Term Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to subsection (2);
provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting
Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro-rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting
Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender
and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable
discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly,
and in any case within three (3) Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify:
(I) the
Borrower of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal
amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid,
(II) each
Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans to be prepaid
at the Specified Discount on such date and
(III) each
Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount, tranche and
Type of Loans of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date.
Each determination by the Auction Agent
of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).
(C) (1) Subject
to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment
Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice;
provided that
(I) any
such solicitation shall be extended to each Lender with respect to all of the Loans,
(II) any
such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment
Amount”), the tranche or tranches of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts
to par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans with respect to each relevant tranche
of Term Loans willing to be prepaid by the Borrower (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment
Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate
offer pursuant to the terms of this Section),
64
(III) the
Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess
thereof and
(IV) each
such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date.
The Auction Agent will promptly provide
each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be
submitted by a responding relevant Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Discount Range
Prepayment Response Date”). Each relevant Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and
shall specify a discount to par within the Discount Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Lender is
willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable tranche or tranches and the maximum aggregate
principal amount and tranches of such Term Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Term Lender
is willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount. Any Term Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction
Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of
any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range.
(2) The
Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response
Date and shall determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole
reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection (C).
The Borrower agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction
Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to
the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount
to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred
to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Term Lender
that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable
Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required
proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Participating
Lender”).
65
(3) If
there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender
in the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable
Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than
the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for
those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified
Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro-rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted
Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding
requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range
Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discount
Range Prepayment Response Date, notify:
(I) the
Borrower of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable
Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid,
(II) each
Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount and tranches of
Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date,
(III) each
Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such
date, and
(IV) if
applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration.
Each determination by the Auction Agent
of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).
(D) (1) Subject
to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Notice; provided that
(I) any
such solicitation shall be extended to each Lender with respect to all of the Loans,
66
(II) any
such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate dollar amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”)
and the tranche or tranches of Term Loans the Borrower are willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer
will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section),
(III) the
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess
thereof and
(IV) each
such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date.
The Auction Agent will promptly provide
each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City
time on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable,
(y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”)
at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount
and tranches of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered
Discount. Any Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.
(2) The
Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrower shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the
largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that
is acceptable to the Borrower (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrower elects to accept any Offered
Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event
later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrower from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (2) (the “Acceptance Date”),
the Borrower shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction
Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrower by the Acceptance Date, the Borrower shall be deemed
to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.
67
(3) Based
upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted
Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding
requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans
(the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrower at the Acceptable Discount in accordance
with this Section 2.11(a)(ii)(D)). If the Borrower elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower agrees
to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date,
in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Term Lender
that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount
shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata
reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”).
The Borrower will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in
the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the
Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is
greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount
of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified
Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount
of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements
of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”).
On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify:
(I) the
Borrower of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment
and the tranches to be prepaid,
(II) each
Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and
the tranches to be prepaid to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date,
(III) each
Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on
such date, and
(IV) if
applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration.
Each determination by the Auction Agent
of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).
68
(E) In
connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may
require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses from the Borrower in connection
therewith.
(F) If
any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with paragraphs (B) through (D) above, the Borrower shall
prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Auction Agent, for
the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Auction
Agent’s office in dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant tranche of
Term Loans on a pro rata basis across such installments. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest
on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding
Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating
Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable. The aggregate principal amount of the tranches and installments of the relevant Term Loans
outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the tranches of Term Loans prepaid on
the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.
(G) To
the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent,
with the provisions in this Section 2.11(a)(ii), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion
and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.
(H) Notwithstanding
anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.11(a)(ii), each notice or other communication
required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction
Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided
that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening
of business on the next Business Day.
(I) Each
of the Borrower and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 2.11(a)(ii) by
itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to
such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement
shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment
provided for in this Section 2.11(a)(ii) as well as activities of the Auction Agent.
(J) The
Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted
Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and
if such offer is revoked pursuant to this subclause (J), any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment to a Term Lender, as applicable,
pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 7.01
or otherwise).
69
Notwithstanding anything
to contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall not permit any transaction permitted by such section to
be conducted on a non-pro rata basis across the Loans.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) In
the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Company, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries
in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received (or,
in the case of a Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event,”
on the date of such Prepayment Event), prepay Term Loan Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Net Proceeds; provided
that, the Borrower may reinvest (i) the Net Proceeds received in respect of any Asset Sale Prepayment Event not to exceed $10,000,000
in the aggregate and (ii) the Net Proceeds of any Permitted Asset Swap or Casualty Event, in each case, (x) to the extent the
Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Reinvestment Notice in respect of such Net Proceeds within ten (10) Business
Days of the date of receipt of such Net Proceeds and (y) such Net Proceeds are reinvested in Theater Assets or replacement assets
within 365 days of the date of receipt thereof; provided that, in the event the requirements in clause (c)(y) above
are not satisfied, the Borrower shall promptly prepay the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the remaining amount of such Net
Proceeds not otherwise applied pursuant to clause (c)(y) above.
(d) [Reserved].
(e) [Reserved].
(f) Prior
to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall, in the event of any mandatory prepayment of Term
Loan Borrowings made at a time when Term Loans remain outstanding, prepay the Term Loans on a pro rata basis; provided,
that any Term Lender may elect, by written notice to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the prepayment
date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Term Loans of any such Borrowing pursuant to this Section (other than
an optional prepayment pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section, which may not be declined), in which case the aggregate
amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay Term Loans of any such Borrowing that was so declined (such amount, “Declined
Proceeds”) shall be (x) be offered to all Term Lenders who did not decline such prepayment and (y) if any Declined
Proceeds remain thereafter, such Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Optional and mandatory prepayments
of Term Loans shall be allocated among the Term Loans on a pro rata basis.
(g) The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any prepayment hereunder by delivering a Notice of Loan Prepayment; provided
that, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, such notice must be received not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
ten (10) Business Days before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date
and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably
detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that a notice of optional prepayment may state that such
notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness
or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower
(by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment
of any Borrowing shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment.
Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied
by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
70
(h) Notwithstanding
any other provisions of Section 2.11(c) or (d),
(A) to
the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Event set forth in clause (a) of the definition thereof by a Foreign
Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) (a “Foreign Prepayment Event”)
are prohibited or delayed by any Requirement of Law from being repatriated to the Loan Parties, the portion of such Net Proceeds so affected
will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) or (d),
as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable
Requirement of Law will not permit repatriation to the Borrower (the Company hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable Requirement of Law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation
of any of such affected Net Proceeds is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law, such repatriation will be promptly effected
and such repatriated Net Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than three (3) Business Days after such repatriation)
applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or
(d), as applicable, and
(B) to
the extent that and for so long as the Company has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any
Foreign Prepayment Event would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually
realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds, the Net Proceeds so affected will not be required to
be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) or (d), as the case may
be, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that when the Company determines in
good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event would no longer have a material adverse
tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect
to such Net Proceeds, such Net Proceeds shall be promptly (and in any event not later than three (3) Business Days after such repatriation)
applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or
(d), as applicable.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if, at the time that any prepayment would be required under Section 2.11(c) (solely
with respect to an Asset Sale Prepayment Event) or 2.11(d) or (e), the Borrower or any other Loan Party
is required to repay or repurchase any other Indebtedness (or offer to repay or repurchase such Indebtedness) that is secured on a pari
passu basis with any Secured Obligation pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the proceeds of such
Asset Sale Prepayment Event (such Indebtedness required to be so repaid or repurchased (or offered to be repaid or repurchased), the
“Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the relevant Person may apply the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment
Event on a pro rata (or less than pro rata) basis to the prepayment, repurchase or repayment of the Other Applicable Indebtedness (determined
on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Other Applicable Indebtedness (or accreted amount if such Other Applicable
Indebtedness is issued with original issue discount) at such time); it being understood that
71
(1) the
portion of the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment Event allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount
of the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment Event required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms
thereof (and the remaining amount, if any, of the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment Event shall be allocated in accordance with
the terms hereof), and the amount of the prepayment, repurchase or repayment of the Other Applicable Indebtedness that would have otherwise
been required pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be reduced accordingly and
(2) to
the extent the holders of the Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness prepaid, repaid or repurchased, the declined
amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied in accordance
with the terms hereof (without giving effect to this Section 2.11(i)).
(j) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the terms of Section 6.08(b), if, at the time that any prepayment
would be required under Section 2.11(c) (solely with respect to an Asset Sale Prepayment Event), the Borrower
or any Subsidiary is required to repay or repurchase any other Indebtedness (or offer to repay or repurchase such Indebtedness) that
is secured on assets of any member of the Odeon Group that is not a Loan Party pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing
such Indebtedness with the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment Event (such Indebtedness required to be so repaid or repurchased (or
offered to be repaid or repurchased), the “ Odeon Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the relevant Person
may apply the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment Event to prepay such Odeon Other Applicable Indebtedness prior to any prepayment
of the Term Loans.
Section 2.12 Fees
and Certain Other Payments.
(a) The
Borrower agrees to pay all premiums and/or fees to the Lenders as separately agreed as between the Borrower and the Lenders and set forth
in the Fee Letter. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and Security Agent, in each case for its own account, the fees
payable in the amounts and at the times (including fees payable on the Effective Date) separately agreed upon in the Agent Fee Letter.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) All
fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in dollars and in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for
distribution. Fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
Section 2.13 Interest.
(a) The
Loans shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, all outstanding principal amounts of each Loan and any fee or other amount
payable by the Borrower hereunder that is not paid when due shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum
equal to 3.00% per annum plus the Applicable Rate.
72
(d) Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest
accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand (and shall be considered as the procedural default
interest (interés de mora procesal) for the purposes set forth in Article 576 of the Spanish Civil Procedural Law)
and (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall
be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment.
(e) [Reserved].
Section 2.14 [Reserved].
Section 2.15 Increased
Costs.
(a) If
any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or
(ii) impose
on any Lender or the applicable market any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to Taxes) affecting this Agreement
or Loans made by such Lender therein; or
(iii) subject
any Lender to any Taxes on its Loans, letters of credit, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities
or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall
be to increase the actual cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan)
or to increase the actual cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether
of principal, interest or otherwise), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered,
provided that to the extent any such costs or reductions are incurred by any Lender as a result of any requests, rules,
guidelines or directives enacted or promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Basel
III after the Effective Date, then such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) only to
the extent such Lender is imposing such charges on similarly situated borrowers under the other syndicated credit facilities that such
Lender is a lender under. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (a) will not apply to (A) Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes or (B) Excluded Taxes.
(b) If
any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or capital requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return
on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or
the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but
for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company
with respect to liquidity or capital adequacy), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction actually
suffered.
73
(c) A
certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company in reasonable
detail, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered
to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s
right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to
this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies
the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.16 [Reserved].
Section 2.17 Taxes.
(a) Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any Taxes, provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements
of Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such withholdings
or deductions, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iii) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax,
the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made
(including deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17) a Lender (or, in the case
of a payment received by the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such deductions been made.
(b) Without
limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with Requirements of Law.
(c) The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Each
Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified
Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for
such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s
failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register
and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by 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 paragraph (d).
74
(e) As
soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17,
the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt or certificate 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.
(f) Each
Lender 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 prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (i) as will permit any payments to such Lender to be made without, or at a
reduced rate of, withholding or (ii) as will enable a Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender
is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse or time or change in circumstances
renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.
Without limiting the foregoing:
(1) Each
Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.
(2) Each
Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time
to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:
(A) two
properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms)
claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(B) two
properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),
(C) in
the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of
the Code, (x) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1, P-2,
P-3 and P-4, as applicable, (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”)
and (y) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any
successor forms),
75
(D) to
the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two properly
completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied
by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information
(or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.17(f) if such
beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that if the Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income
tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption,
the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)), or
(E) two
properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws as a basis
for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the
Loan Documents, 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.
(3) 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, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA
and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (3), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this clause
(f), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.
(g) If
the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded
hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with
the Borrower in a reasonable challenge of such Taxes if so requested by the Borrower; provided that (a) the Administrative
Agent or such Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not be subject to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense
or otherwise be prejudiced by cooperating in such challenge, (b) the Borrower pays all related expenses of the Administrative Agent
or such Lender, as applicable, and (c) the Borrower indemnifies the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for any liabilities
or other costs incurred by such party in connection with such challenge. The Administrative Agent or a Lender shall claim any refund that
it determines is reasonably available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected by making
such a claim. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17,
it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower
under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, agrees promptly to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to
repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s
request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received
from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein
that the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 2.17(g) shall
not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating
to Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.
76
(h) Each
Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation
provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.17(f).
(i) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(j) Additional
United Kingdom Withholding Tax Matters.
(i) Subject
to clause (ii) below, each Lender and each Loan Party which makes a payment to such Lender shall cooperate in completing any procedural
formalities necessary for the Loan Party to obtain authorization to make such payment without deduction or withholding for taxes imposed
under the laws of the United Kingdom.
(ii)
(A) a
Treaty Lender which is a Lender at the date of this Agreement that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme
and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence
in Schedule 2.01; and
(B) a
Treaty Lender which is a Lender at the date of this Agreement that (x) obtains a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme
after the date on which this Agreement is entered into and (y) wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme
reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing following receipt of its
passport; and
(C) a
Lender which becomes a Lender after the date of this Agreement that (x) holds a passport under the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme
and (y) wishes such scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall provide its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
77
(D) Upon
satisfying either clause (A), (B) or (C) above, such Lender shall have satisfied its
obligation under paragraph (j)(i) above.
(iii) If
a Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (j)(ii) above,
the Borrower shall make a Borrower DTTP Filing with respect to such Lender, and shall promptly provide such Lender with a copy of such
filing; provided that, if:
(A) the
Borrower making a payment to such Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender;
(B) the
Borrower making a payment to such Lender has made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of such Lender but:
(1) such
Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HMRC; or
(2) HMRC
has not given such Borrower authority to make payments to such Lender without a deduction for tax within 60 days of the date of such UK
Borrower DTTP Filing;
and in each case, that Borrower has notified
that Lender in writing of either clauses (1) or (2) above, then such Lender and that Borrower shall co-operate
in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for that Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a
UK Tax Deduction.
(iv) If
a Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with paragraph (j)(ii) above,
the Borrower shall not make a Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HMRC DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of
that Lender’s Commitment(s) or its participation in any Loan unless the Lender otherwise agrees.
(v) The
Borrower shall, promptly on making a UK Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of such UK Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent
for delivery to the relevant Lender.
(vi) Each
Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent if it determines that it ceases to be entitled to claim the benefits
of an income tax treaty to which the United Kingdom is a party with respect to payments made by a Loan Party hereunder.
(vii) Each
Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the documentation which it executes
on becoming a party to this Agreement as a Lender, and each Lender which is a party on the date of this Agreement confirms by specifying
opposite its name in Schedule 2.01, which of the following categories it falls in in respect of a UK Loan Party: (A) not
a UK Qualifying Lender; (B) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender); (C) a UK Treaty Lender; or (D) a QPP
Lender. If such a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 2.17(j)(vii), then that Lender
shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Loan Party) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Lender with respect
to the relevant Loan Party until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent,
upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Borrower). For the avoidance of doubt, the documentation which a Lender executes on
becoming a Party as a Lender shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender to comply with this Section 2.17(j)(vii).
78
(viii) A
UK Non-Bank Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement on the day on which this Agreement is entered into gives a Tax Confirmation
by entering into this Agreement. A UK Non-Bank Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from
that set out in the Tax Confirmation.
(ix) Any
Loan Party shall promptly upon becoming aware that it or any Loan Party must make a UK Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the
rate or the basis of a UK Tax Deduction) notify the Administrative Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the Administrative
Agent on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender. If the Administrative Agent receives such notification from
a Lender it shall promptly notify the Borrower.
(x) If
the Borrower receives a notification from HM Revenue & Customs that a QPP Certificate given by a Lender has no effect, the Borrower
shall promptly deliver a copy of that notification to that Lender, and, for the avoidance of doubt, such QPP Certificate will be a Cancelled
Certificate from the date that Borrower receives such notification.
Section 2.18 Payments
Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.
(a) Unless
otherwise specified, the Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest,
fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.15 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required
hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 p.m., New
York City time), on the date when due, in dollars and in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received
after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such account as may be specified by the
Administrative Agent and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03
shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified
therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate
recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Unless otherwise specified, if any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day
that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. In the case of any payment of
principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate for the period of such
extension. All payments or prepayments of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, all payments of accrued
interest payable on a Loan shall be made in dollars, and all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.
(b) If
at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all applicable amounts of principal,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied towards payment of applicable interest and fees then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the applicable amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties.
(c) 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 resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued
interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with outstanding Loans, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion
shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all
such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their
respective Loans; provided that
79
(i) if
any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall
be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and
(ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to
(A) any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement,
(B) any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or
participant or
(C) any
disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some
but not all Loans or Commitments or any increase in the Applicable Rate in respect of Loans of Lenders that have consented to any such
extension.
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.
(d) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion,
distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation.
(e) If
any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(a), Section 2.06(b),
Section 2.06(c), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative
Agent may, in its discretion and in the order determined by the Administrative Agent (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof),
apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations
under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.19 Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender
shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder affected by such event,
or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15
or Section 2.17, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense
reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material and would not be inconsistent with the internal policies of, or otherwise be disadvantageous
in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect to, such Lender.
80
(b) If
(i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then
the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign
and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all
its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation), provided that
(A) the
Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under
Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consents, in each case, shall
not unreasonably be withheld or delayed,
(B) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued but unpaid interest thereon,
accrued but unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and
accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts),
(C) the
Borrower or such assignee shall have paid (unless waived) to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in
Section 9.04(b)(ii) and
(D) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payment required to be
made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action
taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant
to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make
such assignment need not be a party thereto.
Section 2.20 [Reserved].

then, and in every such event (other than an event
with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) of this Section 7.01),
and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent at the Direction of the Required Lenders, shall
by notice to the Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times:
(i) terminate
the applicable Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately,
118
(ii) declare
the applicable Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due
and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable,
together with accrued interest thereon, the Applicable Premium (if any) thereon, and all fees, premiums and other obligations of the Borrower
accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, and
(iii) [reserved],
in each case, without presentment, demand, protest
or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the Borrower described
in paragraph (h) or (i) of this Section 7.01, the Commitments shall automatically
terminate and the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon, the Applicable Premium (if any) thereon,
and all fees, premiums and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that a restatement of historical
financial statements shall not result in a Default hereunder (whether pursuant to Section 7.01(c) as it relates
to a representation made with respect to such financial statements (including any interim unaudited financial statements) or pursuant
to Section 7.01(d) as it relates to delivery requirements for financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01)
to the extent that such restatement does not reveal any material adverse difference in the financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows of the Company, the Borrower and any of the Subsidiaries in the previously reported information from actual results reflected
in such restatement for any relevant prior period.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing in this Section 7.01, it is understood and agreed that if the Loan Document
Obligations are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default (including, but not limited to any event with respect to the Borrower described
in paragraph (h) or (i) of this Section 7.01 or upon the occurrence or commencement
of Insolvency Proceeding (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Loan Document Obligations that become due and
payable shall include the premium (if any) above par, including the Applicable Premium, that would have been due on such date if the Term
Loans were optionally prepaid pursuant to Section 2.11(a) on such date, which shall become immediately due and
payable by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and shall constitute part of the Loan Document Obligations as if the Term Loans were
being optionally redeemed or repaid as of such date, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages
and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a good faith reasonable estimate and calculation of each Lender’s lost profits and/or
actual damages as a result thereof. The Applicable Premium (if any) shall also be automatically and immediately due and payable upon the
satisfaction, release, payment, restructuring, reorganization, replacement, reinstatement, defeasance or compromise of any of the Loan
Document Obligations in any Insolvency Proceeding, foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding or otherwise) or deed in
lieu of foreclosure or the making of a distribution of any kind in any Insolvency Proceeding to any Agent, for the account of the Secured
Parties in full or partial satisfaction of the Loan Document Obligations. The Applicable Premium (if any) payable pursuant to this Agreement
shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early repayment or prepayment of the Term
Loans (and not unmatured interest or a penalty) and the Company, the Borrower, and other Loan Parties agree that it is reasonable under
the circumstances currently existing. EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE BORROWER, AND THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION
OF THE APPLICABLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. Each of the Company, the Borrower, and the other Loan Parties expressly
agree (to the fullest extent they may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Applicable Premium is reasonable and the product of an arm’s
length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Applicable Premium shall each be payable
notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment or redemption is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct
between Lenders, the Company, the Borrower, and the other Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement
to pay the Applicable Premium; (D) any such Loan Party shall not challenge or question, or support any other Person in challenging
or questioning, the validity or enforceability of the Applicable Premium or any similar or comparable prepayment fee, and such Loan Party
shall be estopped from raising or relying on any judicial decision or ruling questioning the validity or enforceability of any prepayment
fee similar or comparable to the Applicable Premium, and (E) the Company, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall be estopped
hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each of the Company, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties
expressly acknowledge that its agreement to pay or guarantee the payment of the Applicable Premium to the Lenders as herein described
are individually and collectively a material inducement to Lenders to make available (or be deemed to make available) the Loans hereunder.
119
Section 7.02 Financial
Covenant Cure. In the event that the Company fails to comply with the covenant set forth in Section 6.10(a) with
respect to any fiscal quarter (such fiscal quarter, the “Defaulted Quarter” and the Event of Default with respect
to such failure with respect to such Defaulted Quarter, the “Defaulted Quarter Default”), until the expiration
of the forty-fifth (45th) day following the last day of the Defaulted Quarter (the “Cure Expiration Date”),
Odeon Parent shall have the right to cure such Defaulted Quarter Default by receiving cash from any member of the AMC Group and contributing
any such cash to the capital of the Company, in an aggregate amount required to cause the aggregate amount of cash held in deposit accounts
of the members of the Odeon Group to be deemed to exceed $40,000,000 for such Defaulted Quarter, and upon receipt of such amount, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such Section 6.10 as of the last day of the Defaulted
Quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply on such date, and the applicable Defaulted Quarter Default
that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement; provided that (a) there shall be no deemed
pro forma reduction in Indebtedness with such proceeds for purposes of determining any financial covenant-based conditions or baskets
with respect to the covenants contained in this Agreement, in each case in respect of the Defaulted Quarter or subsequent periods that
include the Defaulted Quarter, and (b) until the earlier of (x) the date that the Administrative Agent has received written
notice from the Company of its intent not to exercise its cure right hereunder prior to the Cure Expiration Date and (y) the Cure
Expiration Date, neither the Agents nor any Lender shall exercise any rights or remedies under Section 7.01 (or under
any other provisions of the Loan Documents) on the basis of the Defaulted Quarter Default.
Section 7.03 Application
of Proceeds. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction
of the Required Lenders shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations, including without limitation, all proceeds of the Collateral,
subject to the provisions of this Agreement and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the Additional Intercreditor Agreement (as
applicable), (i) first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements (including the fees and expenses
of counsel), indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to the Agents until paid in full; (ii) second, ratably to pay the
Loan Document Obligations in respect of any fees (other than any Applicable Premium), expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts
then due and payable to the Lenders until paid in full; (iii) third, ratably to pay interest then due and payable in respect of
the Loans until paid in full; (iv) fourth, ratably to pay principal of the Loans until paid in full; (v) fifth, ratably to
pay the Obligations in respect of any Applicable Premium then due and payable to the Lenders until paid in full; and (vi) sixth,
to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable. In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall
be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and (y) each
of the Lenders entitled to payment shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant to
clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above.

Article VIII
THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND SECURITY AGENT
Section 8.01 Appointment
and Authority.
(a) Each
of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association to serve as Administrative Agent and Security
Agent under the Loan Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent and Security Agent to take such actions and to exercise such
powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and Security Agent, respectively, by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with
such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, by execution hereof, each Lender hereby
irrevocably appoints (and, if applicable, agrees to appoint by separate accession agreement) U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association
pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to serve as the Security Agent for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing
any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents
and acknowledges and agrees that the Security Agent is authorized to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to
it by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article (other than resignation and Collateral and Guaranty matters) are solely
for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent and the Lenders, and none of the Company, the Borrower, or any other
Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provision. The use of the term “agent” herein and
in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary
or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a
matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
The duties of the Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document,
expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs (i) each Agent
to execute and deliver on behalf of such Lender, and agrees to be bound by, each Loan Document contemplated to be executed and delivered
by any Agent in connection herewith or therewith, and (ii) the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver a Creditor/Agent Accession
Undertaking (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) in the form attached as Schedule 2 to the Intercreditor Agreement.
(b) Each
of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Security Agent to act as the agent of such Lender under the Loan Documents
for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the
Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Security Agent
and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Security Agent pursuant to Section 8.05 for purposes
of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any
rights and remedies thereunder at the Direction of the Required Lenders, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII
and Article IX (including the second paragraph of Section 9.03), as though such co-agents, sub-agents
and attorneys-in-fact were the “security agent” under the Loan Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Security Agent shall have all of the rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities of the Administrative
Agent, and all references in this Article VIII to the Administrative Agent with respect to such rights, privileges, immunities
and indemnities shall include the Security Agent for such purpose. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby
expressly authorize the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent to (i) subject to Section 8.10, execute any
and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated
by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by
any Agent shall bind the Lenders and (ii) subject to Sections 8.09 and 9.02, acting at the Direction of the
Required Lenders, negotiate, enforce or settle any claim, action or proceeding affecting the Lenders in their capacity as such, which
negotiation, enforcement or settlement will be binding upon each Lender. Solely with respect to any rights, privileges, immunities and
indemnities of the Security Agent, to the extent of any inconsistency between the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the rights,
privileges, immunities and indemnities of the Security Agent set forth in this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything herein
or in any Loan Document to the contrary, (x) in no event shall the Security Agent be liable to the Secured Parties for any Claim
(as defined below) occurring, accruing or arising prior to the date of this Agreement; and (y) the powers conferred upon the Security
Agent under any Security Document are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any
duty on the Security Agent to exercise such powers.
121
(c) To
the extent legally possible, each Secured Party releases the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent from any applicable restrictions
on entering into any transaction as a representative of:
(i) two
or more principals contracting with each other; and
(ii) one
or more principals with whom it is contracting in its own name;
including, without limitation, the restrictions
set out in section 181 of the German Civil Code and any equivalent restrictions under any applicable law. The Administrative Agent and
the Security Agent shall, to the extent possible, have the authority to grant an exception from the restrictions of section 181 of the
German Civil Code and any equivalent restrictions under any applicable law to any co-agent, sub-agent and attorney-in-fact.
Section 8.02 Rights
as a Lender.
Each 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 each Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its
individual capacity. Each such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in
any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company, 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 8.03 Exculpatory
Provisions.

the Security Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent:

not have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or any other Person, and no implied duties, covenants, functions,

provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Security Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion
or the opinion of its counsel, may (i) expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law
or (ii) be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law;
(c) shall
not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the

by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent or any of their respective Related Parties in any capacity;

necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.02 and 6.04) or (ii) in the absence of its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct (the absence of which shall be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment); provided that any action or inaction taken at the Direction of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary)

perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral,
or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent;

not be required to use, risk or advance its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or
the exercise of any of its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document;
(g) shall
not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control, including without limitation, any act or provision

or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; pandemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware
or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions; or the
unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility;

limitation, for refusing to exercise discretion or for withholding its consent in the absence of receipt of, or resulting from a failure,
delay or refusal on the part of any Lender to provide, written instructions to exercise such direction or grant such consent from any
such Lender, as applicable). The Administrative Agent shall have no liability for any failure, delay, inability or unwillingness on the
part of any Lender or Loan Party to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to the Administrative Agent, as applicable,
or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall not have any liability for any inaccuracy

other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

immunities and benefits given to the each Agent, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall

(ii) the entity serving as Administrative Agent or Security Agent, as applicable, in each of its capacities hereunder and in each
of its capacities under any of the Loan Documents whether or not specifically set forth therein and each agent, custodian and other Person
employed to act hereunder and under any Loan Document or related document, as the case may be.
Each Lender, by delivering
its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Effective Date shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of,
and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory
to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.
Section 8.04 Reliance
by the Agents.
The Administrative Agent
and the Security Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting
or other distribution) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper
Person. The Administrative Agent and the Security Agent may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by
it in good faith to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance
with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative
Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the
contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent and the Security 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. The Administrative Agent and the
Security Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive
such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as may be required by any Loan Document
in any instance) as it deems appropriate and, if it so reasonably requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify
it against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The
Administrative Agent and the Security Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders
as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be
binding upon all the Lenders. If an Agent is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of
judicial or administrative process which in any way affects such Agent (including orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms
of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of collateral), such Agent is authorized to comply therewith in any manner
it deems appropriate and such Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties to the Loan Documents or to any other person on entity
even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been
without legal force or effect.
125
Section 8.05 Delegation
of Duties.
The Administrative Agent
and the Security 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, co-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent,
as applicable. The Administrative Agent and the Security Agent and any such sub-agent, co-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and
all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this
Article VIII (and the indemnification provisions of Section 9.03) shall apply to any such sub-agent,
co-agents or attorneys-in-fact and to the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent and any such sub-agent,
co-agent or attorney-in-fact and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities
provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent and the Security Agent, as applicable. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor the Security Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents, co-agents or attorneys-in-fact
except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative
Agent and the Security Agent, as applicable, acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents, co-agents
or attorneys-in-fact.
Section 8.06 Resignation
of Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent may
resign upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may be removed by the Required
Lenders upon written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or upon such
removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the Borrower’s consent (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a),
(b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing), such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of
any such bank with an office in the United States. 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, then the
retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent,
which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States (the date
upon which the retiring Administrative Agent is replaced or removed, the “Replacement Effective Date”).
126
With effect from the Replacement
Effective Date:
(1) the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(except (i) that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the
Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) with respect to any outstanding payment obligations) and
(2) except
for any indemnity payments or other amounts then 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 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 (including, without limitation, the powers granted in Section 8.13
below) (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Replacement
Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as set forth in this Section. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed within
30 days after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent or such notice of removal was given by the Required
Lenders, unless the retiring or removed Administrative Agent otherwise agrees in writing, the Administrative Agent’s resignation
shall nonetheless become effective and, except as provided in the immediately following sentence, the Required Lenders shall thereafter
shall be authorized to perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document (and, in connection
therewith, shall have all of the rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities of the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document) until
such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. The retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and except for any indemnity payments
or other amounts then owing 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 directly, until such time as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provide for above in this Section 8.06. 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 Article and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit
of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents, co-agents and attorneys-in-fact, 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.
127
Section 8.07 Non-Reliance
on Agents and Other Lenders.
Each Lender acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent or Security 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 also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent or
Security 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 8.08 No
Other Duties, Etc.
Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Administrative Agent or Security Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties
or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative
Agent, or Security Agent or a Lender hereunder.
Section 8.09 Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of
any proceeding under any debtor relief law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective
of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective
of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower or any other Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered
(but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Secured
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and
the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Sections 2.12
and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, receiver and manager,
interim receiver, monitor, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making
of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Sections 2.12
and 9.03.
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 any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Loan Document Obligations or the rights of any Lender, or to authorize the Administrative
Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or in any such proceeding.
128
Section 8.10 Collateral
and Guaranty Matters.
No Lender shall have any
right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, it being understood
and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the applicable Agent on behalf of
the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Security Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant
to a public or private sale or other disposition, any Agent, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles, or any Lender
may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent
(either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or
Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled
(at the Direction of the Required Lenders), for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all
or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any or all of the Secured Obligations as a credit on
account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders at such sale or other disposition.
Each Lender, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees
of the Secured Obligations, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions.
Each Lender party to this
Agreement hereby appoints the Administrative Agent and Security Agent to act as its agent under and in connection with the relevant Security
Documents.
Section 8.11 [Reserved].
Section 8.12 Erroneous
Payments.
(a) Each
Lender hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on
behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party (other than any Agent) or other recipient, a
“Erroneous Payment Recipient”) in writing that the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable
discretion that the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates mistakenly transmitted funds to such Erroneous Payment Recipient, as a
result of a clerical, mechanical, technological or other error, whether or not known to such Erroneous Payment Recipient (any such
funds, whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, individually and collectively, an
“Erroneous Payment”) and demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof),
such Erroneous Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days thereafter, return to the
Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a written demand was made, in
same day funds (in the currency so received). Each Erroneous Payment Recipient agrees not to assert any right or claim to the
Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand,
claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including any defense based on
“discharge for value” or any similar theory or doctrine. A notice from the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 8.12(a) shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Without
limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender hereby further agrees that if it (or an Erroneous Payment Recipient
on its behalf) receives a payment from the Administrative Agent (x) in a different amount or on a different date than the amount
or date specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent with respect to such payment, (y) that was not preceded
or accompanied by a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent, or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party (or Erroneous Payment
Recipient on its behalf) otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each
case, such Lender or Secured Party shall presume that an error has been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent)
and shall promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent
of its receipt of such payment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant
to this Section 8.12(b).
129
(c) Each
Erroneous Payment Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any amounts at any time owing to such
Erroneous Payment Recipient under any Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under the preceding clause
(a).
(d) The
Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (i) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered
from any Erroneous Payment Recipient (and without limiting the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section 8.12),
the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Erroneous Payment Recipient with respect to such amount (such rights,
the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) and (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay,
discharge or otherwise satisfy any Loan Document Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party. If the amount of any Erroneous
Payment is subsequently recovered by the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates, the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate shall return
to the applicable Erroneous Payment Recipient either (x) the Loans acquired pursuant to this clause (d) or (y) if
applicable, the proceeds of such Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and for the avoidance of doubt, in
no event shall the occurrence of an Erroneous Payment (or any Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights or other rights of the Administrative
Agent in respect of an Erroneous Payment) result in the Administrative Agent becoming or being deemed to be a Lender hereunder or the
holder of any Loans hereunder.
(e) In
addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent provided by law, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without
prior notice to any Lender, any such notice being expressly waived by such Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect
to any Erroneous Payment for which a demand has been made in accordance with this Section 8.12 and which has not been
returned to the Administrative Agent, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in
any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the
Administrative Agent or any Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Lender. The Administrative
Agent agrees to promptly notify the Lender after any such setoff and application made by the Administrative Agent; provided that
the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
(f) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 8.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Loan Document Obligations (or any portion
thereof) under any Loan Document.
Section 8.13 Powers
of the Agent (as Administrative Agent and Security Agent) for Actions to be Carried Out in Spain. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably
appoints and grants full power to each Agent, and each Agent hereby accepts, such that each Agent (with express faculty of self-contracting
(autocontratación), sub-empowering, multiple representation or conflict of interest), acting through a duly appointed representative,
may exercise, in the name and on behalf of the Lenders the rights, powers, authorities and discretions specifically given to such Agent
under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) to execute
in the name of any of the Lenders any Loan Document as well as any novation, amendment or ratification to the same and appear before a
notary public and raise into the status of a public document in Spain such documents and to sign any Spanish Public Document as it deems
fit; (ii) to appear before a Spanish notary public and accept, execute, amend, assign or transfer, release, extend or ratify any
type of guarantee (garantía personal) or in-rem security (garantía real), granted in favor of the Secured
Parties over any and all shares, rights, receivables, goods and chattels, fixing their price for the purposes of an auction and the address
for serving of notices and submitting to the jurisdiction of law courts by waiving its own forum, and release such guarantees or security,
all of the foregoing under the terms and conditions which the attorney may freely agree, signing the notarial deeds (escrituras públicas)
or intervened deeds (póliza intervenidas) that the attorney may deem fit; (iii) to appear before a Spanish notary public
and accept any irrevocable powers of attorney granted by the Loan Parties in relation to the Loan Documents and/or the Spanish Security
Documents, as well as any, amendment, restatement, extension and ratification thereto; (iv) to ratify, if necessary or convenient
any such escrituras públicas or pólizas intervenidas executed by an orally appointed representative in the
name or on behalf of the Lenders; (v) to execute and/or do any and all deeds, documents, acts and things, required in connection
with the execution of the Loan Documents and/or the Spanish Security Documents, and/or the execution of any further notarial deed of amendment
(escritura pública de rectificación or subsanación) that may be required for the purpose or in connection
with the faculties granted in this Section; (vi) to carry out, execute, effect and perform all the actions that may be necessary
or convenient for the purposes of complying with the purpose of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, but not limited
to the granting of any public, and or, private document and or any action required for the purposes of enforcing in Spain any Security
Documents; and (vii) to request and obtain the copy issued for enforcement purposes (copia con fuerza ejecutiva) of this Agreement,
any Security Documents and any other Loan Documents. The powers conferred upon each Agent in this Section 8.13 are
solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose on any Agent any duty to exercise such powers.

132
Each Loan Party further agrees
that the Administrative Agent may make notices and other communications available to the Lender Parties by posting the notices or communications
on IntraLinks, SyndTrak, Debt Domain or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).
THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT
THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMPANY MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN
OR OMISSIONS FROM THE COMPANY MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING 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 COMPANY MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates
warrants the accuracy or completeness of the information contained on the Platform or the adequacy of the Platform and each expressly
disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the information contained on 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 Lender
or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind whether or not based on strict liability and including, without limitation, direct damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s,
any other Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Company Materials or notices or communications through
the Platform, any other electronic messaging service, or through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses have been found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily
from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties, as applicable. Each party hereto
agrees that no Agent has any responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in
connection with any Communication or otherwise required for the Platform. In no event shall any Agent or any Agent Party have any liability
for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications
or other information transmission systems. Each Loan Party, each Lender and each Agent agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall
not be obligated to, store any notices, communications and Company Materials on the Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s
customary document retention procedures and policies. All uses of the Platform shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to this
Section 9.01, separate terms and conditions posted or referenced in such Platform and related agreements executed by the Lenders
and their Affiliates in connection with the use of such Platform. Each Loan Party understands that the distribution of material through
an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and
agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution.
The Administrative Agent and
the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including Borrowing Requests) purportedly given by or on behalf of the
Company or the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded
or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from
any confirmation thereof.
Section 9.02 Waivers;
Amendments.
(a) No
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance
of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default,
regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at
the time. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances.
133
(b) Except
as expressly provided herein, neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or otherwise modified except,
in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company, the Borrower, and the Required
Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative
Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Lenders, or at the Direction
of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall:
(i) increase
the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent
set forth in Section 4.01 or Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory
prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender),
(ii) reduce
the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent
of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that any change to the definition of “Total Leverage
Ratio” or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction of interest or fees) (it being understood
that a waiver or forbearance of any Default or Event of Default (other than any Default or Event of Default based on the failure to timely
pay the principal amount of or interest on any Loan), mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute
a waiver, amendment or other consent under this clause (ii)), provided that only the consent of the Required
Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c),
(iii) postpone
the maturity of any Loan, or the date of any scheduled amortization payment of the principal amount of any Loan under Section 2.10,
or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone
the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, or add or change any grace period under Section 7.01(a) or
(b) for the payment of any principal amount of or interest on any Loan, or change the right of any Lender to receive
the payment of any principal amount of or interest on any Loan in cash (it being understood that a waiver of the Borrower’s obligation
to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c) or a waiver or forbearance of any Default or Event of Default
(other than any Default or Event of Default based on the failure to timely pay the principal amount of or interest on any Loan), mandatory
prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute a waiver, amendment or other consent under this clause
(iii)), without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,
(iv) change
any of the provisions of this Section without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,
(v) lower
the number or percentage of Lenders set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision
of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender,
(vi) (A) release
all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees under any Guaranty (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) without the
written consent of each Lender or (B) amend modify, terminate or waive the last paragraph of Section 9.15 without
the written consent of each Lender,
134
(vii) release
all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Lender (except as
expressly provided in the Loan Documents),
(viii) change
the currency in which any Loan is denominated, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,
(ix) change
(A) any of the provisions of Section 7.03 hereof, Section 18 of the Intercreditor Agreement or any other
provision governing the ratable application of payments, proceeds and/or similar “waterfall” provisions in any Loan Document
or (B) Section 2.18(c), in each case without the written consent of each Lender,
(x) (A) amend,
terminate or waive or otherwise modify Section 6.01(b) without the written consent of each Lender or (B) permit
the issuance or incurrence of any Indebtedness (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any “debtor-in-possession” facility
pursuant to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar financing under applicable Bankruptcy Laws) and no Lender or any Agent
shall consent to the incurrence of such facility) with respect to which all or any portion of the Loan Document Obligations would be subordinated
in right of payment or Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Loan Document Obligations would be subordinated
(any such other Indebtedness to which the Loan Document Obligations are subordinated in right of payment or such Liens securing any of
the Loan Document Obligations are subordinated, “Specified Indebtedness”), unless each Lender has been offered
a bona fide opportunity to fund or otherwise provide its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Loan Document Obligations held
by each Lender that are adversely affected thereby) of the Specified Indebtedness on the same terms (other than bona fide backstop fees
and reimbursement of counsel fees and other expenses in connection with the negotiation of the terms of such transaction; such fees and
expenses, “Ancillary Fees”) as offered to all other providers (or their Affiliates) of the Specified Indebtedness
and to the extent such adversely affected Lender decides to participate in the Specified Indebtedness, receive its pro rata share of the
fees and any other similar benefits (other than Ancillary Fees) of the Specified Indebtedness afforded to the providers of the Specified
Indebtedness (or any of their Affiliates) in connection with providing the Specified Indebtedness without the written consent of each
Lender; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such opportunity (including any fees or other similar benefits (other
than Ancillary Fees) available prior to closing thereof) may be provided in connection with a post-closing syndication of the Specified
Indebtedness;
(xi) amend,
modify or waive any provision of the Loan Documents in a manner that would permit any Subsidiary to be designated as an “Unrestricted
Subsidiary” (or any comparable term) or permit the transfer of any assets (including by Disposition, Investment or Restricted
Payments) to “Unrestricted Subsidiaries” (or any comparable term) or otherwise permit the creation or existence of, or transfer
of any assets (including by Disposition, Investment or Restricted Payments) to, a subsidiary otherwise not subject to the provisions
of the Loan Documents (it being acknowledged that no Subsidiary is an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” (or any comparable term) hereunder
as of the Effective Date) without the written consent of each Lender;
(xii) [reserved];
(xiii) to
the extent not otherwise permitted by this Agreement as of the Effective Date, authorize additional Indebtedness that would be issued
under the Loan Documents for the purpose of influencing voting thresholds without the written consent of each Lender;
135
(xiv) amend,
modify or waive any provision of the Loan Documents (A) to allow for purchases of any Loans or any interests therein (by open market
purchase or through other assignments, participations or other similar transfers) by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates
or (B) to allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates to make Discounted Term Loan Prepayments, other “Dutch
Auction” prepayments or purchases, or other purchases of Loans or any interests in Loans for consideration other than for cash consideration,
in each case, without the written consent of each Lender;
(xv) amend,
modify or waive any provision of any Loan Document in a manner that would be disproportionately adverse to any Lender vis-à-vis
any other Lender without the written consent of each Lender;
(xvi) permit
the receipt by the Company, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries of any non-cash consideration (or any non-cash consideration deemed
to be cash consideration) except as permitted under this Agreement as of the Effective Date without the consent of each Lender;
(xvii) amend,
modify or waive the definition of “Maturity Date” without the written consent of each Lender;
(xviii) amend,
modify or waive Section 6.12(a) or the second to the final paragraph of Section 9.15 without
the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; or
(xix) change
the proviso to the second sentence of Section 9.04(c) without the written consent of each Voting Participant directly
and adversely affected thereby (it being agreed that in no event shall any Agent have any obligation or liability with respect to monitoring
or ensuring compliance with this sub-clause (xix) and, in connection with its execution of any amendment, waiver or
other modification shall be entitled to conclusively assume that all such consents have been obtained by the Loan Parties and that no
further consents are required);
provided,
further, that
(A) no
such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or Security Agent, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any amendment
of this Section, and
(B) any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company, the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency.
Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(1) subject
to Section 9.02(b) above (including, without limitation, clauses (x) and (xiii) thereof),
this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the
Company, and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit
from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably (or less favorably to the
providers thereof) in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding
such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders prior to such inclusion;
136
(2) this
Agreement and other Loan Documents may be amended or supplemented by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative
Agent, the Security Agent, the Company, the Borrower, or any Loan Party as to which such agreement or agreements is to apply, without
the need to obtain the consent of any Lender, to include “parallel debt” or similar provisions, and any authorizations or
granting of powers by the Lenders and the other Secured Parties in favor of the Security Agent, in each case required to create in favor
of the Security Agent any security interest contemplated to be created under this Agreement, or to perfect any such security interest,
where such provisions may be necessary or advisable under local law for such purpose (with the Company and the Borrower hereby agreeing
to, and to cause their subsidiaries to, enter into any such agreement or agreements promptly upon request);
(3) upon
notice thereof by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with respect to the inclusion of any previously absent financial maintenance
covenant or other covenant, this Agreement shall be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company, the Borrower, and
the Administrative Agent (acting at the Direction of the Required Lenders) without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender
to include any such covenant on the date of the incurrence of the applicable Indebtedness to the extent required by the terms of such
definition or section;
(4) In
connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring
the consent of all Lenders or all directly and/or adversely affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed
Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender
whose consent is not obtained as described in Section 9.02(b) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting
Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting (or whose Affiliate is acting) as the Administrative Agent is not a
Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative
Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee
that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided
that:
a. the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such
consent would be required under Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which
consent shall not unreasonably be withheld,
b. such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal
of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts (including any amounts under Section 2.11(a)(i)),
payable to it hereunder from the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and
c. the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and
recordation fee specified in Section 9.04(b).
(5) Any
Participation Lender may, by written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower on or prior to the time at which it
consents to or directs the taking of any action in its capacity as a Lender, specify that such consent or direction shall only be applicable
to a specified portion of its Loans and/or Commitments, as directed by the Voting Participants pursuant to Section 9.04(c)(i).
137
Section 9.03 Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) (i) Any
action taken by any Loan Party under or with respect to any Loan Document, even if required under any Loan Document or at the request
of the Agent or Required Lenders, shall be at the expense of such Loan Party, and neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall
be required under any Loan Document to reimburse any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party therefor. In addition, the Company
and the Borrower agree (A) to pay or reimburse the Agents and Deutsche Bank (so long as it is a Lender) for all reasonable and documented
or invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including any and all recording, notarial and filing fees, costs and expenses incurred
pursuant to any Loan Document, associated with the syndication of the Loans and the preparation, execution and delivery, administration,
amendment, modification, waiver and/or enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent
or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), including
all Attorney Costs of one primary counsel (and a single local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) for the Agents and all Attorney
Costs of the Lender Advisor, (B) to pay or reimburse the Agents and Deutsche Bank (so long as it is a Lender) for all reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents (including Attorney Costs of one firm or counsel to the Agents and, to the extent required, one firm or local
counsel in each relevant local jurisdiction, which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions), and Attorney
Costs of the Lender Advisor and (C) to pay or reimburse the Lenders and each Agent for all their reasonable and documented out of
pocket costs and expenses (without duplication) incurred in connection with the development, preparation, execution and delivery of,
and any amendment, supplement, modification to, waiver, enforcement and preservation of rights under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and any other documents in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, including the Attorney Costs of the Lender Advisor (so long as Deutsche Bank is a Lender), one firm of counsel to
the Lenders taken as a whole (which may be the Lender Advisor), and, to the extent required one firm of local counsel in each relevant
local jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions)) and Attorney Costs of one firm or counsel
to the Agents and, to the extent required, one firm or local counsel in each relevant local jurisdiction, which may include a single
special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions. Subject to the limitations above, the foregoing costs and expenses shall include all
reasonable search, filing, recording and title insurance charges and fees related thereto, and other reasonable and documented or invoiced
out-of-pocket expenses incurred for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The agreements in this Section 9.03 shall
survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all other Loan Document Obligations and the resignation or removal of any
Agent. All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the
Company or the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail.
138
(b)
(i) The
Company and the Borrower agree to pay, indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each Lender at any time party hereto (whether or not such
Lender remains a party hereto) and each of their respective Related Parties (without duplication) (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”)
from and against all actions, suits, investigations, inquiries, claims, losses, damages, liabilities (joint or several), expenses or proceedings
of any kind or nature whatsoever (“Claims”) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such
Indemnitee and the reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses to which such Indemnitee may become subject, in each case
to the extent of any such Claims and related expenses, to the extent arising out of, or resulting from, or in connection with the Loan
Documents, the use or proposed use of proceeds of any Loan or any proceeding (regardless of whether such Indemnitee is a party thereto
or whether or not such Proceeding was brought by the Company or the Borrower, their equityholders, Affiliates or creditors or any other
third Person) and to reimburse each such Indemnitee promptly for any reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses
incurred in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any of the foregoing (which, in the case of Attorney Costs, shall
be limited to (w) Attorney Costs of one firm of counsel for the Agents and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
agents, advisors and other representatives, (x) Attorney Costs of one firm of counsel for the Lenders and their respective Affiliates,
directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, and other representatives, (y) Attorney Costs of the Lender Advisor, and (z) if
reasonably necessary, Attorney Costs of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm
of special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the indemnitee
affected by such conflict notifies the Company or the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and in connection with the investigating,
responding to or defending any of the foregoing has retained its own counsel, of one other firm of counsel and, if reasonably necessary,
one additional firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, for such similarly situated affected Indemnitees)), in each case relating
to the Transactions or the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents
or the use or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans (all the foregoing in this clause (b), collectively, the “Indemnified
Matters”); provided that this clause (b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than
any Taxes that represent Claims arising from any non-Tax claim; and provided, further, that the Company and the Borrower
shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Matters to the extent arising from (A) the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties as determined in a final and non-appealable decision
of a court of competent jurisdiction, (B) solely with respect to an Indemnitee other than the Agents or any Agent’s Related
Parties, a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties under the terms of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties as determined in a final and non-appealable decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction or (C) any Proceeding brought by any Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee other than any claims by or against
an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an Administrative Agent or Security Agent (or any Agent’s Related Parties)
that does not involve an act or omission by the Company, the Borrower, or any Subsidiaries (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction).
(ii) No
Loan Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Claim effected without written consent of the Company or the Borrower, but if settled
with the Company’s or the Borrower’s written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction in any proceeding with respect to such settlement, each Loan Party agrees (in each case subject to any Guarantee Limitations,
which shall apply mutatis mutandis) to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all Claims and reasonable
and documented or invoiced legal or other out-of-pocket expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with and to the
extent provided in the other provisions of this Section 9.03.
(iii) If
any Person has reimbursed any Indemnitee for any legal or other expenses in accordance with such request and there is a final and non-appealable
determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with
respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 9.03, then the Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount.
(iv) No
Loan Party shall without the prior written consent of any Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it
being understood that the withholding of consent due to non-satisfaction of any of the conditions described in clauses (A),
(B) or (C) of this sentence shall be deemed reasonable), effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened proceeding with respect to a Claim in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless
such settlement (A) includes a full and unconditional release of such Indemnitee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding, (B) does not include any statement as
to or any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, and (C) includes customary
confidentiality and non-disparagement agreements.
139
(c) To
the extent that any Agent (or any of such Agent’s Related Parties) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Loan Parties and without
limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so, each Lender hereby agrees severally (in proportion to such Lender’s pro rata
share of the Term Loan at the time such indemnity is sought, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Lender to reimburse or indemnify such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount) to reimburse and indemnify each Agent
and each Agent’s Related Parties from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, fees, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against
such Agent or Agent’s Related Parties in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
or any action taken or omitted by any Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents in connection with the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for
any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, charges, costs, expenses, or
disbursements for which there has been a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal that such liability
resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.03(c) shall
survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, or the earlier resignation or removal of any Agent.
Section 9.04 Successors
and Assigns.
(a) The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Company and the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Company or
the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations
hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 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 (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of
the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) (i) Subject
to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b)(ii) and (g) below, any Lender may assign to one or
more Eligible Assignees; provided that any assignment to a Competitor shall require the prior written consent of the Company
(it being understood that no consent of the Company shall be required for any other assignment).
(ii) Assignments
shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount
of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or, if no trade
date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than $100,000, unless the Company and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the Company or the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default
under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing,
140
(B) each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned,
(C) the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (which shall include a representation
by the assignee that it meets all the requirements to be an Eligible Assignee), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;
provided that assignments made pursuant to Section 2.19(b) shall not require the signature of the
assigning Lender to become effective;
(D) the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.17(f) and
an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which
may contain material non-public information about the Company, the Borrower, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective
securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures
and applicable laws, including federal and state securities laws; and
(E) [reserved];
(F) except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender that is party as a “Senior Lender” to the Intercreditor Agreement (or an Additional
Intercreditor Agreement), the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Creditor/Agent Accession Undertaking (as
defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), which may be incorporated in the Assignment and Assumption;
(iii) Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 (and subject to the obligations and
limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable hereunder that have
accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under
this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of
a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of this Section.
141
(iv) The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices 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 Commitment
of, and principal and interest amounts 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 Company, 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Borrower,
Deutsche Bank, and, solely with respect to its Loans or Commitments, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.
(v) Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed
Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(f) (unless the assignee shall already
be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any
written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept
such Assignment and Assumption (and, upon such acceptance, the Security Agent shall be deemed to accept such Assignment and Assumption,
to the extent required) and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of
this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b). No Agent shall be responsible
or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof or in
any other Loan Document relating to the accession to the Intercreditor Agreement by any Lender or assignee.
(vi) 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 Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act.
(c) (i) Any
Lender (a “Participation Lender”) may, without the consent of the Company or the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons (other than to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee) (a “Participant”),
provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Participation
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Company, the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Participation Lender in
connection with such Participation Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to
which a Participation Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Participation Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce
the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Participation Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant (a “Voting
Participant”), agree to any amendment, modification or waiver (or certain amendments, modifications or waivers as agreed
between such Participation Lender and Voting Participant) with respect to the Loans and related Loan Document Obligations subject to such
participation, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, such Voting Participant shall be entitled to direct such Participation
Lender to vote, subject to terms of such agreement or instrument, in accordance with paragraph (5) of Section 9.02
as if such Voting Participant were a Lender in respect of the Loans and related Loan Document Obligations subject to its participation
at the time of such vote on all matters subject to a vote by Lenders. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section,
the Company and the Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, and 2.17
to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the requirements and limitations thereof) and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled
to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to
be subject to Section 2.18(b) as though it were a Lender.
142
(ii) A
Participant or Participation Lender shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17
than the applicable Participation Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made at the written request of the Borrower or with the written consent of
the Borrower.
(iii) Each
Participation Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain
a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), which it shall
produce to the Borrower upon request, and the Lender shall notify the Borrower of the identity and tax status of the Participant together
with such other information as the Borrower reasonably requires for tax purposes. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive
(absent manifest error), and each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof shall be treated
as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, no Agent (in
its capacity as an Agent) shall have any responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d) Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Company, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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 or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of
a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of
its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding
vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be
obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment
by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of
such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder
shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party
hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for
which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall
survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding
commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting
against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States
or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPV
may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment
of a processing fee of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or a
portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative
Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose
on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of
any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.
143
(f) The
Parties irrevocably agree that, in accordance with Article 1,528 of the Spanish Civil Code, in the event of any assignment made pursuant
to and in accordance with this Section, the Spanish law security and Liens created under the Spanish Security Documents, together with
all rights and remedies arising thereunder, shall be deemed to have been automatically transferred (notwithstanding the relevant formalities
required to perfect such transfer in any jurisdiction, if any) to the relevant assignee, as an additional Lender, maintained in full force
and effect and preserved for the benefit of such assignee, as an additional Lender. The Parties agree that a transfer or assignment under
this Section shall constitute a transfer of any Spanish Security Document to such assignee, as an additional Lender, in the manner
set out in Article 1,203 et seq. of the Spanish Civil Code, and with the effects set out in Article 1,528 of the Spanish
Civil Code. Furthermore, each Loan Party that is party to any Spanish Security Document accepts all transfers and assignments made by
the Lenders under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without requiring any additional formalities including, without limitation,
the execution of any transfer or assignment document as a Spanish Public Document in Spain or the notarization of the relevant document
in any other country.
Section 9.05 Survival.
All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other
instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties
hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation
made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default
or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as
long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding
and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.17
and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the occurrence
of the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that,
in connection with the refinancing or repayment in full of the credit facilities.
Section 9.06 Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and the Security
Agent or the syndication of the Loans and Commitments constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter
hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by 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, and thereafter
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.07 Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any
other jurisdiction.
Section 9.08 Right
of Setoff. If an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i) shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at
any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the
Company or the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Company or the Borrower then due and owing under this Agreement
held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations
are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness.
The applicable Lender shall notify the Company or the Borrower, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application,
provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and
application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

their and their Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
agents and advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature

shall constitute a breach of this Section 9.12 by the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent, or the relevant Lender,
as applicable),
(ii) (x) to
the extent requested by any regulatory authority, required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process or (y) necessary
in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; provided that,
(A) in
each case, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination
of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency or other routine examinations of such Lender by such governmental
agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information and
(B) in
the case of clause (y) only, each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure
that such Information is kept confidential in connection with the exercise of such remedies, and provided, further,
that in no event shall any Lender or the Administrative Agent be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Company,
the Borrower, or any of their Subsidiaries,
(iii) to
any other party to this Agreement,
146
(iv) subject
to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to:

the consent of the Borrower, in the case of Information provided by the Company, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary,
(vi) to
the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower,
or
(vii) to
any ratings agency or the CUSIP Service Bureau on a confidential basis. In addition, each of the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent
and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and publicly available information about this Agreement to market data collectors,
similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration
and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments and the Borrowings hereunder.
For the purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from or on behalf of the Borrower relating to the Company, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or their business,
other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential
basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower. 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.
(b) EACH
LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT
MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY, THE BORROWER, THE LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR
RESPECTIVE SECURITIES AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND

Section 9.13 USA
Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies
each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of Title III of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information

Section 9.14 Judgment
Currency.
(a) If,
for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency,
each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which
in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency
on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
(b) The
obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of any obligation owing
hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment
Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”),
be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so
due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase
the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally
due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Company and the Borrower agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding
any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss as a result of any variation as between (a) the rate of
exchange at which the United States dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and
(b) the rate of exchange, as quoted by the Administrative Agent or by a known dealer in the judgment currency that is designated
by the Administrative Agent, at which such Lender is able to purchase Dollars with the amount of the judgment currency actually received
such Applicable Creditor. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the applicable party and
shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange”
shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into Dollars. The obligations
of the Company and the Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other
amounts owing hereunder and the earlier resignation or removal of any Agent.
Section 9.15 Release
of Liens and Guarantees. Subject to Section 6.12 and the second to the final paragraph of this Section 9.15,
a Subsidiary Loan Party shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created
by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by (and to the extent constituting Excluded Assets, upon the request of the Borrower, the
Equity Interests of) such Subsidiary Loan Party shall be automatically released, upon the request of the Borrower, upon any Subsidiary
Loan Party becoming an Excluded Subsidiary.
Upon (i) any sale or
other transfer by any Loan Party (other than to the Company, the Borrower or any other Loan Party) of any Collateral in a transaction
permitted under this Agreement or (ii) the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under
any Security Document in any Collateral or the release of any Loan Party from its Guarantee under the Guaranty pursuant to Section 9.02,
the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents or such guarantee shall be automatically released. Upon the
occurrence of the Termination Date, all obligations under the Loan Documents and all security interests created by the Security Documents
shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section (for the avoidance of doubt,
including any release pursuant to the Debenture, the Share Charge or any other Security Document), the Security Agent shall execute and
deliver to any Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall prepare and reasonably request
to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse
to or representation or warranty by any Agent. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and Security Agent to (i) release
or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Security Agent under any Loan Document to
the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(v) or (viii)(A) or
(xxi) to the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens pursuant to documents reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and Security Agent (acting at the Direction of the Required Lenders)) and (ii) subordinate
any Lien on any Mortgaged Property if required under the terms of any lease, easement, right of way or similar agreement effecting the
Mortgaged Property provided such lease, easement, right of way or similar agreement is permitted by Section 6.02.
148
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no Guarantor will be released from its guarantee or become an Excluded Subsidiary, including as a result of ceasing to be wholly-owned,
unless (i) at the time such Guarantor ceases to be wholly-owned or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, the primary purpose
of such transaction was not to evade the guarantee requirements hereof, (ii) the transaction by which such Guarantor ceases to be
wholly-owned or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary was consummated on an arms’ length basis with an unaffiliated third party
and (iii) such transaction otherwise complies with the terms of this Agreement (with the Company or the Borrower being deemed to
have made an Investment in such resulting non-Guarantor Subsidiary or Excluded Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, and such Investment
being subject to Section 6.04).
Notwithstanding anything in
this this Agreement (including this Section 9.15) or any other Loan Document to the contrary, in no event shall any
Agent be required to authorize or execute any document or instrument evidencing any release of Liens unless it shall have first received
a certificate of a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party certifying that the execution and delivery of such document or instrument or
the action effectuating such release of Liens, as applicable, is authorized and permitted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Upon request by any Agent at any time, the Required Lenders (or in the case of the Security Agent, the Administrative Agent (acting at
the direction of the Required Lenders)) will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release any Liens pursuant to this Section 9.15.
Section 9.16 No
Fiduciary Relationship. Each of the Company and the Borrower, on behalf of themselves and their subsidiaries, agree that in connection
with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Company, Borrower, the other
Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will
have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agents, the Lenders
or their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.
Each Agent, Lender and their respective Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders
and/or their affiliates.

AMCEH Guarantor Obligations hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other
than payment of the AMCEH Guarantor Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise,
and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability of the AMCEH Guarantor Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
obligations of AMCEH herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by and AMCEH does hereby waive all defenses that
it might otherwise have with respect to the following: (i) the failure of any Lender or any Agent to assert any claim or demand
or to enforce any right or remedy against AMCEH or any other person under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any other
agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal granted or any increase in the amount of the AMCEH Guarantor Obligations;
(iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or acceleration of, any of the terms or provisions of the Credit Agreement,
the other Loan Documents, or any other agreement; (iv) the failure of any Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any other
Guarantor; (v) any change in the ownership of the Company (other than as contemplated by the Credit Agreement); (vi) any default,
failure or delay, wilful or otherwise, in the performance of the AMCEH Guarantor Obligations; (vii) any illegality, lack of validity
or lack of enforceability of any of the AMCEH Guarantor Obligations and any Loan Document; or (viii) any other act or thing or omission
or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of AMCEH or would otherwise operate
as a discharge of AMCEH as a matter of law or equity.
(d) AMCEH
agrees that the AMCEH Guarantor Obligations shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full thereof or until AMCEH is released
from its AMCEH Guarantor Obligations in compliance with Section 2 herein. AMCEH further agrees that the AMCEH Guarantor Obligations
herein shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal
or interest on any amount thereof is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender or any Agent upon the bankruptcy or reorganization
of AMCEH or otherwise.
(e) In
furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Lender or any Agent has at law or in equity against AMCEH
by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any of the AMCEH Guarantor Obligations when and as the same shall become due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, by prepayment or otherwise, AMCEH hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by
the Administrative Agent, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Agents and the Lenders an amount equal to the sum of the
unpaid amount of such AMCEH Guarantor Obligations then due and owing.
(f) AMCEH
further agrees that, as between AMCEH, on the one hand, and the Agents and the Lenders, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of its
AMCEH Guarantor Obligations may be accelerated as provided for in the Credit Agreement for the purposes of its Guarantee Agreement herein,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of its AMCEH Guarantor Obligations
and (y) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such AMCEH Guarantor Obligations, such AMCEH Guarantor Obligations
(whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by AMCEH for the purposes of this Guarantee Agreement.
(g) AMCEH
shall not pledge any of its assets to secure the AMCEH Guarantor Obligations.
(h) The
AMCEH Guarantor Obligations under this Guarantee Agreement shall not be Guaranteed by any other of AMCEH’s or the Borrower’s
subsidiaries.
(i) Notwithstanding
any term or provision of this Guarantee Agreement, the maximum aggregate amount of the AMCEH Guarantor Obligations for which AMCEH shall
be liable shall not exceed the maximum amount for which AMCEH can be liable without rendering this Guarantee Agreement, as it relates
to AMCEH, subject to avoidance under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including Section 548
of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or any applicable provisions of comparable state law)
(collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect (i) to all other liabilities of
AMCEH, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under such Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities
of AMCEH in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the Borrower to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount
equal to the amount paid by AMCEH hereunder) and (ii) to the value of assets of AMCEH (as determined under the applicable provisions
of such Fraudulent Transfer Laws).

Release and Discharge

3. Miscellaneous.

of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
(c) No
amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Guarantee Agreement, and no consent to any departure by AMCEH
therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such amendment
or modification, AMCEH. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for

to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities,
accounts and contract rights and (f) the word “or” shall be inclusive.

Section 1.03 Accounting
Terms; GAAP; Certain Calculations.
(a) All
accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including
financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared in conformity
with GAAP as in effect from time to time, except to the extent otherwise provided herein.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of determining compliance with any test or utilization of any basket contained in this Agreement,
Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated Total Assets, the Total Leverage Ratio or the First Lien Leverage Ratio shall be calculated on a Pro
Forma Basis to give effect to all Specified Transactions (including the Transactions) that have been made during the applicable period
of measurement or subsequent to such period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation is made and to the
extent the proceeds of any new Indebtedness are to be used to repay other Indebtedness (including by repurchase, redemption, retirement,
extinguishment, defeasance, discharge or pursuant to escrow or similar arrangements) no later than 60 days following the incurrence of
such new Indebtedness, the Borrowers shall be permitted to give Pro Forma Effect to such repayment of Indebtedness.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) In
the event that the Borrowers elect to prepare their financial statements in accordance with IFRS and such election results in a change
in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms (collectively, the “Accounting Changes”)
in this Agreement, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree to enter into good faith negotiations in order to amend such provisions
of this Agreement (including the levels applicable herein to any computation of the Total Leverage Ratio or the First Lien Leverage Ratio)
so as to reflect equitably the Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrowers’ financial
condition shall be substantially the same after such change as if such change had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment
shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards
and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed in accordance with GAAP (as determined in good faith by a Responsible
Officer of the Borrower) (it being agreed that the reconciliation between GAAP and IFRS used in such determination shall be made available
to Lenders) as if such change had not occurred.
(e) For
purposes of determining the permissibility of any action, change, transaction or event that requires a calculation of any financial ratio
or test (including, without limitation, any First Lien Leverage Ratio test and/or any Total Leverage Ratio test, the amount of Consolidated
EBITDA and/or Consolidated Total Assets), such financial ratio or test shall be calculated at the time such action is taken (subject
to Section 1.07), such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be, and
no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of a change in such financial ratio or test occurring
after the time such action is taken, such change is made, such transaction is consummated or such event occurs, as the case may be.
Section 1.04 Effectuation
of Transactions. All references herein to the Borrowers and their subsidiaries shall be deemed to be references to such Persons,
and all the representations and warranties of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall be deemed made, in each case, after giving effect to the Transactions to occur on the Effective Date, unless the context
otherwise requires.
59
Section 1.05 Currency
Translation; Rates.
(a) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of any determination under Article V, Article VI
or Article VII or any determination under any other provision of this Agreement expressly requiring the use of a current
exchange rate, all amounts incurred, outstanding or proposed to be incurred or outstanding in currencies other than dollars shall be
translated into dollars at the spot rate (rounded to the nearest currency unit, with 0.5 or more of a currency unit being rounded upward);
provided, however, that for purposes of determining compliance with Article VI with respect
to the amount of any Indebtedness, Investment, Disposition or Restricted Payment in a currency other than dollars, no Default or
Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness
or Investment is incurred or Disposition or Restricted Payment made; provided, further, that, for the avoidance
of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.06 shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect
to determining whether any Indebtedness or Investment may be incurred or Disposition or Restricted Payment made at any time under such
Sections. For purposes of any determination of Consolidated Total Debt, amounts in currencies other than dollars shall be translated
into dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the most recently delivered financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or
(b). Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative
Agent may from time to time specify with the Borrowers’ consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to appropriately
reflect a change in currency of any country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency.
(b) The
Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect
to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “Adjusted Term SOFR”
or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto, except as expressly provided herein.
Section 1.06 Limited
Condition Transactions.
In connection with any action
being taken solely in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:
(i) determining
compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of any financial ratio;
(ii) determining
the accuracy of representations and warranties and/or whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or
any subset of Defaults or Events of Default) (other than for purposes of satisfying the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
(a) and (b)); or
(iii) testing
availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated
Total Assets);
in each case, at the option of the Borrowers (the
Borrowers’ election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”),
with such option to be exercised on or prior to the date of execution of the definitive agreements related to such Limited Condition Transaction,
the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements
for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma
Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence
of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending
prior to the LCT Test Date, the Borrowers could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio or
basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.
60
For the avoidance of doubt,
if the Borrowers have made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT
Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of
the Borrowers or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction
or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations; however, if any ratios improve
or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized. If the Borrowers have made an LCT
Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of the incurrence ratios subject to
the LCT Election on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition
Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or
expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma
basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness
or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.
Section 1.07 Cashless
Rollovers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, to the extent
that any Lender extends the maturity date of, or replaces, renews or refinances, any of its then-existing Loans with loans incurred under
a new credit facility, to the extent such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing is effected by means of a “cashless roll”
by such Lender pursuant to settlement mechanisms approved by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent (acting at the Direction of the
Required Lenders) and such Lender, such extension, replacement, renewal or refinancing shall be deemed to comply with any requirement
hereunder or any other Loan Document that such payment be made “in Dollars”, “in immediately available funds”,
“in cash” or any other similar requirement.
Section 1.08 [Reserved].
Section 1.09 Times
of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard,
as applicable).
Article II
THE
CREDITS
Section 2.01 [Reserved].
Section 2.02 Loans
and Borrowings.
(a) Each
Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance
with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall
not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder.
(b) Subject
to Section 2.14, Term Loan Borrowing denominated in dollars shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or SOFR Loans
as any Borrowers may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch
or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation
of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) At
the commencement of each Interest Period for any SOFR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple
of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum; provided that a SOFR Borrowing that results from a continuation
of an outstanding SOFR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to such outstanding Borrowing. At the time that each ABR
Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less
than the Borrowing Minimum. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided
that there shall not at any time be more than a total of twenty Interest Periods in the aggregate for all Loans.
61
(d) Subject
to terms and conditions hereof and set forth in the applicable Open Market Purchase Agreement or the Note Exchange Agreement, as applicable,
the Borrowers agree to issue (i) the Initial Exchange Term Loans hereunder to the Lenders as consideration for (x) the sale
and assignment of its Existing Term Loans through an open market purchase by AMC and (y) the sale of its 2026 Second Lien Notes,
in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Open Market Purchase Agreements and the Note Exchange Agreement, as applicable.
(e) On
the date of each issuance of Subsequent Exchange Term Loans, each Subsequent Exchange Term Lender shall receive the Subsequent Exchange
Term Loans as set forth in the applicable Subsequent Exchange Term Loan Documents.
(f) Upon
the effectiveness of this Agreement, interest shall begin to accrue on the full amount thereof as of such date. Once repaid, the Term
Loans may not be reborrowed.
Section 2.03 Requests
for Borrowings. To request a Term Loan Borrowing, any Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request, which notice
may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Borrowing Request; provided that any telephone notice must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Request. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent
(a) in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business
Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable (provided that notices in respect
of Term Loan Borrowings (x) to be made on the Effective Date may be conditioned on the closing of the Exchange Transactions and
(y) to be made in connection with any Subsequent Exchange Term Loans may be conditioned on the closing of the related open market
purchases described in the Subsequent Exchange Term Loan Exchange Documents) and shall be delivered by hand delivery, facsimile or other
electronic transmission (or, if requested by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic
transmission) to the Administrative Agent and shall be signed by a Borrower. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following
information:
(i) the
Class of such Borrowing;
(ii) the
aggregate amount of such Borrowing;
(iii) the
date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iv) whether
such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing;
(v) in
the case of a SOFR Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition
of the term “Interest Period”;
(vi) the
location and number of the Borrowers’ account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06;
and
(vii) except
on the Effective Date, that, as of the date of such Borrowing, the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) and
Section 4.02(b) are satisfied.
If no election as to the Type
of Borrowing is specified as to any Borrowing, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified
with respect to any requested SOFR Borrowing, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each
Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested
Borrowing.
62
Section 2.04 [Reserved].
Section 2.05 [Reserved].
Section 2.06 Funding
of Borrowings.
(a) Each
Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in
dollars by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the Applicable Account of the Administrative Agent most-recently designated by it for such
purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts
so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrowers designated by the Borrowers in the applicable Borrowing Request.
(b) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such
Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance on such assumption and in its sole discretion, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender
has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such share on demand of the Administrative Agent. If such Lender does not pay such
corresponding amount forthwith upon demand of the Administrative Agent therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers,
and the Borrowers agree to pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand. The Administrative Agent shall
also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrowers interest on such corresponding amount, for each day from and including the
date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the
case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent (acting at the
Direction of the Required Lenders) in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, the rate reasonably determined
by the Administrative Agent to be its cost of funding such amount, or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable
to such Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.13. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then
such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
(c) Obligations
of the Lenders hereunder to make Term Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required
hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan.
Section 2.07 Interest
Elections.
(a) Each
Term Loan Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03
and, in the case of a SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request or designated by Section 2.03.
Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a
SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrowers may elect different options with respect
to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding
the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
63
(b) To
make an election pursuant to this Section, any Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone (or, at the
option of the Borrowers, in writing) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the
Borrowers were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each
such request may be given by (1) telephone or (2) an Interest Election Request.
(c) Each
such request shall be irrevocable and each telephonic request shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic
transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by a Responsible Officer of a Borrower.
(d) Each
telephonic request and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03:
(i) the
Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions
thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses
(iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii) the
effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii) whether
the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a SOFR Borrowing; and
(iv) if
the resulting Borrowing is to be a SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election,
which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”
If any such Interest Election Request requests
a SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one
month’s duration.
(e) Promptly
following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of
the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(f) If
the Borrowers fail to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period
applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period, the Borrowers shall
be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
Section 2.08 Termination
and Reduction of Commitments.
(a) [Reserved].
(b) The
Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that each reduction
of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000.
(c) The
Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of
this Section at least one Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and
the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents
thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable;. Any termination or reduction of
the Commitments of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among
the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.
64
Section 2.09 Repayment
of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a) The
Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal
amount of each Term Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10.
(b) Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such
Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender
from time to time hereunder.
(c) The
Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and
Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become
due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent
hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.
(d) The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence
of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein, provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to pay any amounts
due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the entries made pursuant to paragraphs (b) and
(c) of this Section, the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall
control.
(e) Any
Lender may request through the Administrative Agent that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such
event, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested
by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form provided by the Administrative Agent (acting at the Direction
of the Required Lenders) and approved by the Borrowers.
Section 2.10 Amortization
of Term Loans.
(a) Subject
to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.10, the Borrowers shall repay Term Loan Borrowings on
the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (commencing on September 30, 2024) in the principal amount
of Term Loans equal to (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans multiplied by (ii) 0.25%.
(b) To
the extent not previously paid, all Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
(c) Any
prepayment of a Term Loan Borrowing of any Class (x) pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i) shall be applied
to reduce the subsequent scheduled and outstanding repayments of the Term Loan Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to this
Section as directed by the Borrowers (and absent such direction in direct order of maturity) and (y) pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or
Section 2.11(d) shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled and outstanding repayments of the Term Loan
Borrowings of such Class to be made pursuant to this Section, or in direct order of maturity.
(d) Prior
to any repayment of any Term Loan Borrowings of any Class hereunder, the Borrowers shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the
applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing or by telephone (confirmed by hand delivery, facsimile
or other electronic transmission) of such election not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, (x) in the case of SOFR Loans,
three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment and (y) in the case of ABR Loans,
one Business Day before the scheduled date of such repayment. In the absence of a designation by the Borrowers as described in the preceding
sentence, the Administrative Agent shall make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize
breakage costs owing under Section 2.16. Each repayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included
in the repaid Borrowing. Repayments of Term Loan Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount repaid.
65
Section 2.11 Prepayment
of Loans.
(a) (i) The
Borrowers shall have the right (and no Lender may decline to receive) at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole
or in part, without premium or penalty (subject to the immediately succeeding proviso); provided that, solely with respect
to a voluntary prepayment under this Section 2.11(a)(i), with respect to any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans,
whether the relevant prepayment or refinancing, as applicable, occurs before or after an Event of Default pursuant to Sections
7.01(h) or (i) or an acceleration of the Term Loans (x) prior to the twelve month anniversary of
the Effective Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders the
Make-Whole Amount in respect of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans so prepaid, repaid or refinanced and (y) on or after
the twelve month anniversary of the Effective Date but on or prior to the eighteen-month anniversary of the Effective Date, the Borrowers
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, an amount equal to 4% of the aggregate
amount of the applicable Term Loans prepaid (this clause (y), the “Prepayment Premium”). For the avoidance
of doubt, no prepayment premium shall be payable hereunder in connection with any prepayment or refinancing of any Loan (whether the
relevant prepayment or refinancing, as applicable, occurs before or after an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7.01(h) or
(i) or an acceleration of the Loans) on or after the eighteen-month anniversary of the Effective Date.
(ii) Notwithstanding
anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers
may prepay the outstanding Term Loans on the following basis:
(A) The
Borrowers shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans in cash at a discount to par (such prepayment, the “Discounted
Term Loan Prepayment”) pursuant to the Borrowers Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, Borrowers Solicitation of Discount
Range Prepayment Offers or Borrowers Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, in each case made in accordance with this Section 2.11(a)(ii);
provided that (x) the Borrowers shall not make any Borrowing of Revolving Loans to fund any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment
and (y) the Borrowers shall not initiate any action under this Section 2.11(a)(ii) in order to make a Discounted
Term Loan Prepayment with respect to any Class unless (I) at least ten (10) Business Days shall have passed since the consummation
of the most recent Discounted Term Loan Prepayment with respect to such Class as a result of a prepayment made by the Borrowers on
the applicable Discounted Prepayment Effective Date; or (II) at least three (3) Business Days shall have passed since the date
the Borrowers were notified that no Term Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loan and/or Other Term Loan at the Specified
Discount, within the Discount Range or at any discount to par value, as applicable, or in the case of Borrowers Solicitation of Discounted
Prepayment Offers, the date of the Borrowers’ election not to accept any Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.
(B) (1) Subject
to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrowers may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Term Loan
Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment
Notice; provided that
(I) any
such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the Borrowers, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any
Class of Term Loans on an individual tranche basis,
66
(II) any
such offer shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”)
with respect to each applicable tranche, the tranche or tranches of Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount
to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified
Discounts and/or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an
event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section),
(III) the
Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess
thereof and
(IV) each
such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date.
The Auction Agent will promptly provide
each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response
to be completed and returned by each such Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Specified
Discount Prepayment Response Date”).
(2) Each
relevant Term Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response
Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its relevant then outstanding Term Loans at the Specified Discount and,
if so (such accepting Term Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount and the tranches of
such Term Lender’s Term Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount. Each acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a
Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Term Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received
by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept the Borrowers Offer
of Specified Discount Prepayment.
(3) If
there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrowers will make prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this
paragraph (B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and
tranches of Term Loans specified in such Term Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to subsection (2);
provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting
Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro-rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting
Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender and
the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable
discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly,
and in any case within three (3) Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify:
67
(I) the
Borrowers of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal
amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid,
(II) each
Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans to be prepaid
at the Specified Discount on such date and
(III) each
Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount, tranche and
Type of Loans of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date.
Each determination by the Auction Agent
of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrowers and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrowers shall be due and payable by the Borrowers on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).
(C) (1) Subject
to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrowers may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment
Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice;
provided that
(I) any
such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrowers, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any
Class of Loans on an individual tranche basis,
(II) any
such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment
Amount”), the tranche or tranches of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to
par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans with respect to each relevant tranche
of Term Loans willing to be prepaid by the Borrowers (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment
Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate
offer pursuant to the terms of this Section),
(III) the
Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess thereof
and
(IV) each
such solicitation by the Borrowers shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date.
68
The Auction Agent will promptly provide
each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be
submitted by a responding relevant Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time,
on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Discount Range Prepayment
Response Date”). Each relevant Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify
a discount to par within the Discount Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow
prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable tranche or tranches and the maximum aggregate principal
amount and tranches of such Term Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Term Lender is willing
to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount. Any Term Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent
by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of
its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range.
(2) The
Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response
Date and shall determine (in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole
reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection (C).
The Borrowers agree to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction
Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to
the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount
to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred
to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Term Lender that
has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable
Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required
proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Participating
Lender”).
(3) If
there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrowers will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender
in the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified in such Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable
Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than the
Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for those
Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified
Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro-rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted
Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to rounding
requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range
Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discount
Range Prepayment Response Date, notify:
(I) the
Borrowers of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable
Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid,
69
(II) each
Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount and tranches of Term
Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date,
(III) each
Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and tranches of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such
date, and
(IV) if
applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration.
Each determination by the Auction Agent
of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrowers and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrowers shall be due and payable by the Borrowers on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).
(D) (1) Subject
to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrowers may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Notice; provided that
(I) any
such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrowers, to each Term Lender and/or each Lender with respect to any
Class of Term Loans on an individual tranche basis,
(II) any
such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate dollar amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”)
and the tranche or tranches of Term Loans the Borrowers are willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different tranches of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will
be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section),
(III) the
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess
thereof and
(IV) each
such solicitation by the Borrowers shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date.
70
The Auction Agent will promptly provide
each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City
time on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable,
(y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”)
at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount
and tranches of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered
Discount. Any Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.
(2) The
Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrowers with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the
Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrowers shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the
largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that
is acceptable to the Borrowers (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrowers elect to accept any Offered
Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event later
than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrowers from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (2) (the “Acceptance Date”),
the Borrowers shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction
Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrowers by the Acceptance Date, the Borrowers shall be deemed
to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.
(3) Based
upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment
Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to rounding requirements
of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of Term Loans (the “Acceptable
Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrowers at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.11(a)(ii)(D)).
If the Borrowers elect to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrowers agree to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers
received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest
Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer
with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment
of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable
Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The Borrowers will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant
to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the tranches specified
in such Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate
Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount
is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro
rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction
Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion)
will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment
Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify:
71
(I) the
Borrowers of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment
and the tranches to be prepaid,
(II) each
Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and
the tranches to be prepaid to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date,
(III) each
Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the tranches of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such
date, and
(IV) if
applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration.
Each determination by the Auction Agent
of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrowers and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent
manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrowers shall be due and payable by the Borrowers on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).
(E) In
connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrowers and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may
require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses from the Borrowers in connection
therewith.
(F) If
any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with paragraphs (B) through (D) above, the Borrowers shall
prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Borrowers shall make such prepayment to the Auction Agent, for
the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Discounted Prepayment Effective
Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant tranche of Term Loans on a pro
rata basis across such installments. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal
amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant
to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders,
or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable. The aggregate principal amount of the tranches and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding
shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the tranches of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted
Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.
72
(G) To
the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent,
with the provisions in this Section 2.11(a)(ii), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion
and as reasonably agreed by the Borrowers.
(H) Notwithstanding
anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.11(a)(ii), each notice or other communication
required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction
Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided
that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening
of business on the next Business Day.
(I) Each
of the Borrowers and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 2.11(a)(ii) by
itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such
Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall
apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided
for in this Section 2.11(a)(ii) as well as activities of the Auction Agent.
(J) The
Borrowers shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted
Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and
if such offer is revoked pursuant to this subclause (J), any failure by the Borrowers to make any prepayment to a Term Lender, as applicable,
pursuant to this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 7.01
or otherwise).
Notwithstanding anything to contrary, the provisions
of this Section 2.11(a)(ii) shall permit any transaction permitted by such section to be conducted on a Class by
Class basis and on a non-pro rata basis across Classes (but not within a single Class), in each case, as selected by the Borrowers.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) In
the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries in respect
of any Prepayment Event (excluding any Specified Leasehold Interest termination), the Borrowers shall, within five Business Days after
such Net Proceeds are received (or, in the case of a Prepayment Event described in clause (b) of the definition
of the term “Prepayment Event,” on the date of such Prepayment Event), prepay Term Loan Borrowings in an aggregate amount
equal to the amount of such Net Proceeds
(d) Following
the end of each fiscal year of AMC, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, the Borrowers shall prepay Term Loan
Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to the Excess Cash as of the end of such fiscal year; provided that for each fiscal
year ended after December 31, 2024, no such prepayment shall be required unless Operating Cash Flow for such fiscal year is positive.
Each prepayment pursuant to this paragraph shall be made on or before the date that is five Business Days after the date on which financial
statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 with respect to the fiscal year for which Excess Cash
is being calculated.
(e) [Reserved].
73
(f) Prior
to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrowers shall, in the event of any mandatory prepayment of Term
Loan Borrowings made at a time when Term Loan Borrowings of more than one Class remain outstanding, prepay each Class on a pro
rata basis; provided, that any Term Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand
delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission) at least one Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all or any portion
of any prepayment of its Term Loans of any such Borrowing pursuant to this Section (other than an optional prepayment pursuant to
paragraph (a)(i) of this Section, which may not be declined), in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would
have been applied to prepay Term Loans of any such Borrowing that was so declined (such amount, “Declined Proceeds”)
shall be (x) be offered to all Term Lenders who did not decline such prepayment and (y) if any Declined Proceeds remain thereafter,
such Declined Proceeds shall be retained by the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries. Optional and mandatory prepayments of Term Loan Borrowings
shall be allocated among the Classes of Term Loan Borrowings on a pro rata basis.
(g) The
Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any prepayment hereunder by telephone or delivering a Notice of Loan Prepayment; provided
that, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, such notice must be received (i) in the case of prepayment of a SOFR Borrowing,
not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in
the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment;
provided, further, that each telephonic notice shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or
other electronic transmission to the Administrative Agent of a written Notice of Loan Prepayment signed by a Responsible Officer of each
Borrower. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion
thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment;
provided that a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other
credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable
event or condition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on
or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative
Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted
in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply
fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in
the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.
(h) Notwithstanding
any other provisions of Section 2.11(c) or (d),
(A) to
the extent that (x) any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Prepayment Event set forth in clause (a) of the definition thereof
by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(c) (a “Foreign Prepayment
Event”) or (y) prepayment of Excess Cash giving rise to a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(d) are
prohibited or delayed by any Requirement of Law from being repatriated to the Borrowers, the portion of such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash
so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) or
(d), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long,
as the applicable Requirement of Law will not permit repatriation to any Borrower (the Borrowers hereby agreeing to cause the applicable
Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable Requirement of Law to permit such repatriation),
and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Proceeds or Excess Cash is permitted under the applicable Requirement of Law, such
repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Proceeds or Excess Cash will be promptly (and in any event not later than
three Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the
repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or (d), as applicable, and
74
(B) to
the extent that and for so long as the Borrowers have determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of
any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess Cash would have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit
or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash, the Net Proceeds
or Excess Cash so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in Section 2.11(c) or
(d), as the case may be, and such amounts may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that
when the Borrowers determine in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Proceeds of any Foreign Prepayment Event or Excess
Cash would no longer have a material adverse tax consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized
in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash, such Net Proceeds or Excess Cash shall be promptly
(and in any event not later than three Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against
as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or (d), as applicable.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if, at the time that any prepayment would be required under Section 2.11(c) (solely
with respect to an Asset Sale Prepayment Event) or 2.11(d) or (e), the Borrowers or any Subsidiary are
required to repay or repurchase any other Indebtedness (or offer to repay or repurchase such Indebtedness) that is secured on a pari passu
basis with any Secured Obligation pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the proceeds of such Asset
Sale Prepayment Event or such Excess Cash (such Indebtedness required to be so repaid or repurchased (or offered to be repaid or repurchased),
the “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the relevant Person may apply the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment
Event or such Excess Cash on a pro rata (or less than pro rata) basis to the prepayment, repurchase or repayment of the Other Applicable
Indebtedness (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Other Applicable Indebtedness (or accreted
amount if such Other Applicable Indebtedness is issued with original issue discount) at such time); it being understood that
(1) the
portion of the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment Event or such Excess Cash allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not
exceed the amount of the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment Event or such Excess Cash required to be allocated to the Other Applicable
Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof (and the remaining amount, if any, of the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment Event or such
Excess Cash shall be allocated in accordance with the terms hereof), and the amount of the prepayment, repurchase or repayment of the
Other Applicable Indebtedness that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be reduced
accordingly and
(2) to
the extent the holders of the Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such Indebtedness prepaid, repaid or repurchased, the declined
amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied in accordance with the terms
hereof (without giving effect to this Section 2.11(i)).
(j) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if, at the time that any prepayment would be required under Section 2.11(c) (solely
with respect to an Asset Sale Prepayment Event) or 2.11(d) or (e), the Borrowers or any Subsidiary are
required to repay or repurchase any other Indebtedness (or offer to repay or repurchase such Indebtedness) that is secured on assets of
the Odeon Group pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment
Event or such Excess Cash (such Indebtedness required to be so repaid or repurchased (or offered to be repaid or repurchased), the “
Odeon Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the relevant Person may apply the proceeds of such Asset Sale Prepayment
Event or such Excess Cash to prepay such Odeon Other Applicable Indebtedness prior to any prepayment of the Term Loans.

Section 2.12 Fees
and Certain Other Payments.
(a) The
Borrowers agree to pay all premiums and/or fees to the Lenders as separately agreed as between the Borrowers and the Lenders and set
forth in the Open Market Purchase Agreements or Note Exchange Agreement.
(b) [Reserved].
(c) All
fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution.
Fees paid hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
(d) The
Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, an agency fee payable in the amount and at the times separately
agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Agent Fee Letter.
Section 2.13 Interest.
(a) The
Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) The
Loans comprising each SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at Adjusted Term SOFR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus
the sum of (x) the Applicable Rate plus (y) solely during the Ratings Trigger Period, 3.0%.
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, all outstanding principal amounts of each Loan and any fee or other amount
payable by the Borrowers hereunder that is not paid when due shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum
equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 3.00% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided
in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount (including overdue interest), 3.00% per
annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.
(d) Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan, provided that (i) interest
accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment
of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and
(iii) in the event of any conversion of any SOFR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest
on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(e) All
computations of interest for ABR Loans (including ABR Loans determined by reference to the Term SOFR) shall be made on the basis of a
year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the
basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on
the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan,
or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on
the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.18, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
76
Section 2.14 Inability
to Determine Rates; Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(a) Inability
to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 2.14(b) if prior to the commencement of any Interest period for a
Borrowing of SOFR Loans:
(i) the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR”
cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or
(ii) the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders in writing that for any reason in connection with any request for a SOFR Loan
or a conversion thereto or a continuation thereof that Adjusted Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
SOFR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making and maintaining such Loan;
then, in each case, the Administrative
Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter.
Upon
notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, any obligation of the Lenders to make SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrowers
to continue SOFR Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected
Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (ii) above, at the instruction of the Required Lenders)
revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion
to or continuation of SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected SOFR Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrowers
will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified
therein and (B) any outstanding affected SOFR Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans at the end of the applicable
Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16. Subject to Section 2.14(b) below, if
the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term
SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Loans shall be determined
by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” until the
Administrative Agent revokes such determination.
(b) Benchmark
Replacement Setting.
(i) Benchmark
Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the 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.
If the Benchmark Replacement is Daily Simple SOFR, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.
(ii) 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.
77
(iii) Notices;
Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the
implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration,
adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, (C) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.14(b)(iv) and
(D) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made
by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.14(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, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its
or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this
Section 2.14(b).
(iv) Unavailability
of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time (including in connection with the implementation
of a Benchmark Replacement), (x) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) 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 (acting at the Direction of the Required Lenders) in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor
for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such
Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period”
(or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative
tenor and (y) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (x) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen
or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement
that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may
modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed
tenor.
(v) Benchmark
Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrowers’ receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period (until
the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist), (i) the
Borrowers may revoke any request for a borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of SOFR Loans to be made, converted or continued
during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have converted any such request into a
request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans and (ii) any outstanding SOFR Loans will be deemed to have converted to ABR
Loans at the end of the applicable Interest Period. 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 the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for
such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.
Section 2.15 Increased
Costs.
(a) If
any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or
78
(ii) impose
on any Lender or the applicable market any other condition, cost or expense (other than with respect to Taxes) affecting this Agreement
or SOFR Loans made by such Lender therein; or
(iii) subject
any Lender to any Taxes on its Loans, letters of credit, Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities
or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be
to increase the actual cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any SOFR Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan)
or to increase the actual cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether
of principal, interest or otherwise), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased costs actually incurred or reduction actually suffered,
provided that to the extent any such costs or reductions are incurred by any Lender as a result of any requests, rules,
guidelines or directives enacted or promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and Basel
III after the Effective Date, then such Lender shall be compensated pursuant to this Section 2.15(a) only to the
extent such Lender is imposing such charges on similarly situated borrowers under the other syndicated credit facilities that such Lender
is a lender under. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (a) will not apply to (A) Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes or (B) Excluded Taxes.
(b) If
any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding liquidity or capital requirements has the effect of reducing the rate of return
on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or
the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for
such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with
respect to liquidity or capital adequacy), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender
such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction actually
suffered.
(c) A
certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company in reasonable detail,
as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered to the Borrowers
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
15 Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s
right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to
this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies
the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
Section 2.16 Break
Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest
Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any SOFR Loan other than on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date
specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(f) and
is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.19 or Section 9.02(c),
then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall, after receipt of a written request by any Lender affected by any such event (which request
shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), compensate each Lender for the actual loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 2.16,
each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each SOFR Loan made by it at Adjusted Term SOFR (determined without giving effect to any interest
rate “floor”) for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing for a comparable amount and for a comparable period,
whether or not such SOFR Loan was in fact so funded. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender
is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers
shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt of such demand. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Section 2.16 will not apply to losses, costs or expenses resulting from Taxes, as to which Section 2.17
shall govern.
79
Section 2.17 Taxes.
(a) Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any Taxes, provided that if the applicable Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements
of Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such withholdings
or deductions, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iii) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax,
the amount payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made
(including deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.17) a Lender (or, in the case
of a payment received by the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such deductions been made.
(b) Without
limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with Requirements of Law.
(c) The
Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount
of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any Other Taxes (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.17) and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 Borrowers
by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Each
Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable
to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified
Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure
to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any
Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by 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 paragraph (d).
(e) As
soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17,
the Borrowers 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.
80
(f) Each
Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (i) as will permit such payments to be made without,
or at a reduced rate of, withholding or (ii) as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not
such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse or time or change in
circumstances renders such documentation obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrowers and
the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers
or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do
so.
Without limiting the foregoing:
(1) Each
Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver
to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.
(2) Each
Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall
deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time
to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:
(A) two
properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms)
claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(B) two
properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),
(C) in
the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of
the Code, (x) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1, P-2,
P-3 and P-4, as applicable, (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”)
and (y) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any
successor forms),
(D) to
the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two properly
completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied
by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required
information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 2.17(f) if
such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that if the Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest
exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s)),
or
81
(E) two
properly completed and duly signed original copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws as a
basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, U.S. federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under
the Loan Documents, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or
the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(3) 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 Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers 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 Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with
their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA
and, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (3), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
clause (f), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.
(g) If
the Borrowers determine in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded
hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the relevant Lender, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with
the Borrowers in a reasonable challenge of such Taxes if so requested by the Borrowers; provided that (a) the Administrative
Agent or such Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not be subject to any unreimbursed third party cost or expense
or otherwise be prejudiced by cooperating in such challenge, (b) the Borrowers pay all related expenses of the Administrative Agent
or such Lender, as applicable, and (c) the Borrowers indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for any liabilities
or other costs incurred by such party in connection with such challenge. The Administrative Agent or a Lender shall claim any refund
that it determines is reasonably available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected
by making such a claim. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which
it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17,
it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the
Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative
Agent or such Lender, agree promptly to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed
by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender
is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall,
at the Borrowers’ request, provide the Borrowers with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to
repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may
delete any information therein that the Administrative Agent or such Lender deems confidential). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
this Section 2.17(g) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available
its Tax returns (or any other information relating to Taxes which it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.
82
(h) Each
Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation
provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.17(f).
(i) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 2.18 Payments
Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.
(a) The
Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by it under any Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts
payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required
hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New
York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such
time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent (acting at the Direction of the Required Lenders), be deemed to have
been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to such
account as may be specified by the Administrative Agent and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16,
2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan
Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it
for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment (other than payments
on the SOFR Loans) under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a SOFR Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity
thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into
another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any payment
of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate for the period of
such extension. All payments or prepayments of any Loan shall be made in the currency in which such Loan is denominated, all payments
of accrued interest payable on a Loan shall be made in dollars, and all other payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.
(b) If
at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all applicable amounts of principal,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied towards payment of applicable interest and fees then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the applicable amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties.
(c) 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 of a given Class resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount
of its Loans of such Class and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with outstanding Loans
of the same Class, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans
of such Class of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably
in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans of such Class; 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
83
(ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to
(A) any
payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement,
(B) any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or
participant or
(C) any
disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration
date of some but not all Loans or Commitments of that Class or any increase in the Applicable Rate in respect of Loans of Lenders
that have consented to any such extension.
The Borrowers consent 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 Borrowers rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.
(d) Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption and in its sole discretion,
distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders
severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent (acting at the Direction
of the Required Lenders) in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(e) If
any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(a), Section 2.06(b),
Section 2.06(c), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative
Agent (acting at the Direction of the Required Lenders) may, in its discretion and in the order determined by the Administrative Agent
(notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent (acting at the Direction
of the Required Lenders) for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Section until all
such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
Section 2.19 Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount
to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 or any event that
gives rise to the operation of Section 2.23, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different
lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder affected by such event, or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17 or
mitigate the applicability of Section 2.23, as the case may be, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material and would not be inconsistent with the internal policies
of, or otherwise be disadvantageous in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect to, such Lender.
(b) If
(i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 or gives notice under Section 2.23,
or (ii) the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of
any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such
Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to
the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts
such assignment and delegation), provided that
84
(A) the
Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under
Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consents, in each case, shall
not unreasonably be withheld or delayed,
(B) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued but unpaid interest thereon,
accrued but unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal
and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts),
(C) the
Borrowers or such assignee shall have paid (unless waived) to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in
Section 9.04(b)(ii) and
(D) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15, payment required to be
made pursuant to Section 2.17 or a notice given under Section 2.23, such assignment will result
in a material reduction in such compensation or payments.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise (including as a result of any action
taken by such Lender under paragraph (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment
and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant
to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to
make such assignment need not be a party thereto.
Section 2.20 Subsequent
Exchange Term Loans.
(a) After
the Effective Date, any Borrower may, at any time, on one or more occasions pursuant to a Subsequent Exchange Term Loan Facility Amendment
issue additional Exchange Term Loans that are pari passu with the Initial Exchange Term Loans (“Subsequent Exchange
Term Loans”) (which loans shall thereafter for all purposes hereunder constitute Initial Exchange Term Loans) either (x) as
consideration for additional open market purchases by any one or more of the Borrowers of Existing Term Loans as the Borrowers may elect
pursuant to a Subsequent Exchange Term Loan Exchange Agreement or (y) for cash proceeds which are used to concurrently repurchase
and/or refinance Existing Term Loans; provided, that:
(i) [reserved],
(ii) no
issuance of Subsequent Exchange Term Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.20 shall require the approval
of any existing Lender,
(iii) Subsequent
Exchange Term Loans shall be pari passu in right of payment with the other Initial Exchange Term Loans in accordance with the
terms hereof,
(iv) any
Subsequent Exchange Term Loans may participate in any voluntary prepayment of Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(a)(i),
to the extent provided in such Section and Section 2.18(c), provided, that if multiple Classes of Term
Loans are outstanding, each voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(i), shall be made on a pro rata basis
for each Class that remains outstanding,
85
(v) on
the date of the Borrowing of any Subsequent Exchange Term Loans that will be of the same Class as any then-existing Class of
Term Loans, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 2.08 or 2.13 above, such Subsequent
Exchange Term Loans shall be added to (and constitute a part of, be of the same Type as and, at the election of the Borrowers, have the
same Interest Period as) each Borrowing of outstanding Term Loans of such Class on a pro rata basis (based on the relative sizes
of such Borrowings), so that each Term Lender providing such Subsequent Exchange Term Loans will participate proportionately in each
then-outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans of such Class; it being acknowledged that the application of this clause (a)(vi) may
result in new Subsequent Exchange Term Loans having Interest Periods (the duration of which may be less than one month) that begin during
an Interest Period then applicable to outstanding SOFR Loans of the relevant Class and which end on the last day of such Interest
Period,
(vi) notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Borrowers may issue Subsequent Exchange
Term Loans to a Lender (or any Subsequent Exchange Term Loan Lender) for cash under this Section 2.20 (and such loans
so issued shall constitute Subsequent Exchange Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), so long as
(x) substantially concurrently with such issuance a Borrower uses any such proceeds received to purchase Existing Term Loans at
a price no greater than par and (y) any such issuance of Exchange Term Loans complies with each of the other provisions of this
Section 2.20,
(vii) the
maturity date of any Subsequent Exchange Term Loans shall not be earlier than the Maturity Date;
(viii) the
Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Subsequent Exchange Term Loans shall not be shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life
to Maturity of the Initial Exchange Term Loans;
(ix) if
the All-in Yield on any such Subsequent Exchange Term Loans shall exceed the All-in Yield on the Initial Exchange Term Loans then the
Applicable Rate (or the “floor” as provided in the following proviso) applicable to the Initial Exchange Term Loans shall
be increased such that after giving effect to such increase, the All-in Yield on the Initial Term Loans shall equal the All-in Yield
on such Subsequent Exchange Term Loans;
(x) such
Subsequent Exchange Term Loans shall satisfy clauses (c), (d) (e) of the definition of Required Additional Debt Terms;
(xi) if

any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Adjusted
Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR, then, on
notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue SOFR
Loans or to convert ABR Loans to SOFR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers
that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall,
upon three Business Days’ notice from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), in the case of SOFR Loans, prepay
or, if applicable, convert all SOFR Loans of such Lender to SOFR Loans either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such
Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain
such SOFR Loans, and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon
the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall, during the period of such suspension,
compute the Alternate Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Adjusted Term
SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender
to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR. Each Lender agrees to
notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in writing promptly upon becoming aware that it is no longer illegal for such Lender
to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Adjusted Term SOFR. Upon any such prepayment
or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Company Materials constitute Information, they shall be
treated as set forth in Section 9.12); (iii) all Company Materials marked “PUBLIC”

good faith to pay operating and/or capital costs or cash expenses in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices (and
such transaction is not intended to materially reduce the value of the Collateral (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Investments
in the Odeon Group otherwise made in compliance with this Agreement, as in effect on the Effective Date, (including Section 6.04)
are not deemed to reduce the material value of the Collateral) or disadvantage the Lenders in respect of their rights as creditors relative
to other creditors) and (ii) to the Top Borrower’s knowledge the total amount of Available Cash after giving pro forma effect
to any such transfer shall not exceed (x) $240,000,000 for the AMC Group (other than the Odeon Group) or (y) $150,000,000 for

compliance with the requirements of Section 6.13(c), the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements
of Section 6.13(c) as of the last day of the prior calendar month with the same effect as though there had been
no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of Section 6.13(c) that had
occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement.
(f) If
a Bi-Monthly Testing Event occurs, then the Borrowers shall cause (i) the AMC Group (other than the Odeon Group) to have no more
than $240,000,000 of Available Cash and (ii) the Odeon Group to have no more than $150,000,000 of Available Cash, in each case,

applicable documentation governing any Material Indebtedness, in the Odeon Group by any member of the Muvico Group shall be in the form
of intercompany Indebtedness; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent
that any such Investments (i) are not permitted to be made in the Odeon Group by the Muvico Group pursuant to the terms of any Material
Indebtedness as in effect on the Effective Date (or pursuant to terms of Material Indebtedness no more restrictive than Material Indebtedness
in effect on the Effective Date), or (ii) are only permitted under the terms of such Material Indebtedness by requiring any member
of the Odeon Group to utilize any “credit facilities” and/or general indebtedness baskets which are also available to the
AMC Group such that the amount of indebtedness that the AMC Group is thereafter able to incur under the terms of such Material Indebtedness
is in the aggregate less than the amount of indebtedness that the AMC Group is then able to incur under Sections 6.01(a)(xiv) or
(xxv) under this Agreement, then in either case, the foregoing clause (x) shall not restrict Investments in the
Odeon Group by the AMC Group in the form of either (x) Investments in Qualified Equity Interests of Odeon Holdco or (y) loans
to Odeon Holdco that are unsecured and subordinated in right of payment to the Odeon Holdco Intercompany Loan.
(h) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no transfers of cash or Permitted Investments shall be required to comply with this Section 6.13 to
the extent that any transfer would result in a default under any Material Indebtedness of AMC or its Subsidiaries outstanding on the
Effective Date or would result in material adverse tax or regulatory consequence in connection with repatriation of cash or Permitted
Investments.

by notice to the Borrowers, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times:
(i) terminate
the applicable Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately,
(ii) declare
the applicable Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due
and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable,
together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable
immediately and
(iii) [reserved],
in each case, without presentment, demand, protest
or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to any Borrower described
in paragraph (h) or (i) of this Article, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the
principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrowers accrued
hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby waived by the Borrowers.
Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that a restatement of historical
financial statements shall not result in a Default hereunder (whether pursuant to Section 7.01(c) as it relates
to a representation made with respect to such financial statements (including any interim unaudited financial statements) or pursuant
to Section 7.01(d) as it relates to delivery requirements for financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01)
to the extent that such restatement does not reveal any material adverse difference in the financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries in the previously reported information from actual results reflected in such restatement
for any relevant prior period.
129
Without limited the generality
of the foregoing in this Section 7.01, it is understood and agreed that if the Loan Document Obligations are accelerated as a result
of an Event of Default (including, but not limited to any event with respect to the any Borrower described in paragraph (h) or (i) of
this Article or upon the occurrence or commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or other event pursuant to the Bankruptcy
Code or other applicable law for the relief of debtors (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Loan Document
Obligations that become due and payable shall include the premium (if any) above par, including the Make-Whole Amount and the Prepayment
Premium, that would have been due on such date if the Term Loans were optionally prepaid pursuant to Section 2.11(a) on such
date or, if applicable, repaid on the Maturity Date (any such premium, the “Applicable Premium”), which shall
become immediately due and payable by the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties and shall constitute part of the Loan Document Obligations
as if the Term Loans were being optionally redeemed or repaid as of such date, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty
of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a good faith reasonable estimate and calculation of each
Lender’s lost profits and/or actual damages as a result thereof. The Applicable Premium (if any) shall also be automatically and
immediately due and payable if the Loan Document Obligations are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding
or otherwise), deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by any other means in connection with an Event of Default described in the preceding sentence
or are reinstated, including without limitation, under a plan of reorganization or similar manner in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
proceeding. The Applicable Premium (if any) payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained
by each Lender as the result of the early repayment or prepayment of the Term Loans (and not unmatured interest or a penalty) and the
Borrowers and other Loan Parties agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. EACH OF THE BORROWERS AND THE
OTHER LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE
OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE PREPAYMENT FEE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. Each of the
Borrowers and the other Loan Parties expressly agree (to the fullest extent they may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Applicable Premium
is reasonable and the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel;
(B) the Applicable Premium shall each be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment or redemption
is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties giving specific consideration
in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium; (D) any such Loan Party shall not challenge or question, or
support any other Person in challenging or questioning, the validity or enforceability of the Applicable Premium or any similar or comparable
prepayment fee, and such Loan Party shall be estopped from raising or relying on any judicial decision or ruling questioning the validity
or enforceability of any prepayment fee similar or comparable to the Applicable Premium, and (E) the Borrower and the other Loan
Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each of the Borrower and the other
Loan Parties expressly acknowledge that its agreement to pay or guarantee the payment of the Applicable Premium to the Lenders as herein
described are individually and collectively a material inducement to Lenders to make available (or be deemed to make available) the Loans
hereunder.
130
Section 7.02 [Reserved]Equity
Cure.
.
In the event that the Borrowers fail to comply with the covenant set forth in Section 6.10(a) with
respect to any fiscal quarter (such fiscal quarter, the “Defaulted Quarter” and the Event of Default with respect
to such failure with respect to such Defaulted Quarter, the “Defaulted Quarter Default”), until the expiration
of the forty-fifth (45th) day following the last day of the Defaulted Quarter (the “Cure Expiration Date”),
the Borrowers shall have the right to cure such Defaulted Quarter Default by receiving cash from any member of the AMC Group or the Muvico
Group and contributing any such cash to the capital of OCGL, in an aggregate amount required to cause the aggregate amount of cash held
in deposit accounts of the members of the Odeon Affected Group to be deemed to exceed $40,000,000 for such Defaulted Quarter, and upon
receipt of such amount, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of such Section 6.10(a) as
of the last day of the Defaulted Quarter with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply on such date, and the applicable
Defaulted Quarter Default that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement; provided that (a) there
shall be no deemed pro forma reduction in Indebtedness with such proceeds for purposes of determining any financial covenant-based conditions
or baskets with respect to the covenants contained in this Agreement, in each case in respect of the Defaulted Quarter or subsequent
periods that include the Defaulted Quarter, and (b) until the earlier of (x) the date that the Administrative Agent has received
written notice from the Borrowers of their intent not to exercise their cure right hereunder prior to the Cure Expiration Date and (y) the
Cure Expiration Date, neither the Agents nor any Lender shall exercise any rights or remedies under Section 7.01 (or under
any other provisions of the Loan Documents) on the basis of the Defaulted Quarter Default.
Section 7.03 Application
of Proceeds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 7.01, any amounts received on account
of the Secured Obligations shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 4.02 of the Pledge and Security Agreement
and/or the similar provisions in the other Security Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Excluded Swap Obligations with respect
to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made
with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Secured Obligations otherwise set forth in Section 4.02
of the Pledge and Security Agreement and/or the similar provisions in the other Security Documents.
Article VIII
THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL AGENT
Section 8.01 Appointment
and Authority.
(a) Each
of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB to serve as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent
under the Loan Documents, and authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers
as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article (other than Resignation and Collateral and Guaranty
Matters) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and none of the Borrowers
or any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provision. The use of the term “agent”
herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote
any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used
merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting
parties.
131
(b) The
Collateral Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any
and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and
discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent, as “collateral agent” and any
co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 8.05 for purposes
of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising
any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions
of this Article VIII and Article IX (including the second paragraph of Section 9.03), as
though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents as if set forth
in full herein with respect thereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, privileges,
immunities and indemnities of the Administrative Agent for such purposes, and all references in this Article VIII to the
Administrative Agent shall include the Collateral Agent for such purpose. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders
hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to (i) subject to Section 8.10, execute
any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto,
as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and acknowledge and agree that
any such action by any Agent shall bind the Lenders and (ii) subject to Sections 8.09 and 9.02, negotiate,

with the provisions of this Agreement relating to Affiliated Lenders or Debt Fund Affiliates;
(k) shall
not be liable to the Lenders for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it to such Lenders in good faith and if any such
apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment

the Administrative Agent,” “acceptable to the Administrative Agent,” “as determined by the Administrative Agent,”
“in the Administrative Agent’s discretion,” “selected by the Administrative Agent,” “elected by the
Administrative Agent,” “requested by the Administrative Agent,” and phrases of similar import that authorize and permit
the Administrative Agent to approve, disapprove, determine, act or decline to act in its discretion shall be subject to the Administrative
Agent receiving written direction from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as expressly required
hereunder or under the other Credit Documents) to take such action or to exercise such rights.
The Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing
such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” is received by the Administrative
Agent from the Borrowers or a Lender.
Each Lender acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any
of the foregoing, 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 also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative
Agent or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, 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.
Each Lender, by delivering
its signature page to this Agreement and funding its Loans on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment
and Assumption or Subsequent Exchange Term Loan Documents, pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have
acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be
approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date.
134
Section 8.04 Reliance
by the Agents.
The Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting
or other distribution) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper
Person. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it in good faith to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance
with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative
Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the
contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), 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. The Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as may be required by any Loan
Document in any instance) as it deems appropriate and, if it so reasonably requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation
to indemnify it against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number
of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all the Lenders.
Section 8.05 Delegation
of Duties.
The Administrative Agent
and the Collateral 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 and the Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII (and the indemnification provisions
of Section 9.03) shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent
that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent, as applicable, acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
Section 8.06 Resignation
of Agents.
Subject to the appointment
and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign upon 30 days’
notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or upon such removal, the Required Lenders shall
have the right, with the Borrowers’ consent (unless an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b),
(h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with
an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have
been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be an Approved Bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any
such Approved Bank (the date upon which the retiring Administrative Agent is replaced, the “Resignation Effective Date”).
With effect from the Resignation
Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable)
(1) the
retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(except (i) that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the
Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Administrative Agent is appointed and (ii) with respect to any outstanding payment obligations) and
135
(2) except
for any indemnity payments or other amounts then 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 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 as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring
or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
as set forth in this Section. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers 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 Article and Section 9.04
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 8.07 Non-Reliance
on Agents and Other Lenders.
Each Lender acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent or Collateral 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 also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative Agent
or Collateral 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 8.08 No
Other Duties, Etc.
Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties
or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative
Agent, or Collateral Agent or a Lender hereunder.
Section 8.09 Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of
any proceeding under any debtor relief law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective
of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective
of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated),
by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Secured
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders
and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Sections 2.12
and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
136
(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, receiver and manager,
interim receiver, monitor, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making
of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Agents and their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agents under Sections 2.12
and 9.03.
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 any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender, or to authorize the
Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or in any such proceeding.
Section 8.10 Collateral
and Guaranty Matters.
No Lender shall have any
right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, it being understood
and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf
of the Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral
pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of
any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of
the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree
in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion
of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase
price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders at such sale or other disposition. Each Lender,
whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured
Obligations, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions.
Each Lender party to this
Agreement hereby appoints the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to act as its agent under and in connection with the relevant
Security Documents.
Section 8.11 [Reserved].
Section 8.12 Erroneous
Payments.
(a) Each
Lender hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party or any Person who has received funds on behalf
of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Erroneous Payment Recipient”)
in writing that the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable discretion that the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates
mistakenly transmitted funds to such Erroneous Payment Recipient, as a result of a clerical, mechanical, technological or other error,
whether or not known to such Erroneous Payment Recipient (any such funds, whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal,
interest, fees or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands in writing
the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment Recipient shall make commercially reasonable efforts
to promptly return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a written
demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received). A notice from the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 8.12(a) shall
set forth the facts and circumstances resulting in such Erroneous Payment; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not make
any demand under this Section 8.12(a) unless the notice described herein is delivered within 90 days after the
making of the applicable Erroneous Payment.
137
(b) Without
limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or Secured Party hereby further agrees that if it (or an Erroneous
Payment Recipient on its behalf) receives a payment from the Administrative Agent (x) in a different amount or on a different date
than the amount or date specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent with respect to such payment, (y) that
was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent, or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party
(or Erroneous Payment Recipient on its behalf) otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole
or in part) then, in each case, such Lender or Secured Party shall presume that an error has been made (absent written confirmation from
the Administrative Agent) and shall promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the
Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 8.12(b).
(c) Each
Erroneous Payment Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any amounts at any time owing to such
Erroneous Payment Recipient under any Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under the preceding clause
(a).
(d) The
Borrowers and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (i) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered
from any Erroneous Payment Recipient (and without limiting the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section 8.12),
the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Erroneous Payment Recipient with respect to such amount (such
rights, the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) and (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay,
repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party. If the amount of any Erroneous Payment
is subsequently recovered by the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates, the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate shall return to the
applicable Erroneous Payment Recipient either (x) the Loans acquired pursuant to this clause (d) or (y) if
applicable, the proceeds of such Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and for the avoidance of doubt, in
no event shall the occurrence of an Erroneous Payment (or any Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights or other rights of the Administrative
Agent in respect of an Erroneous Payment) result in the Administrative Agent becoming or being deemed to be a Lender hereunder or the
holder of any Loans hereunder.
(e) In
addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent provided by law, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without
prior notice to any Lender, any such notice being expressly waived by such Lender to the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect
to any Erroneous Payment for which a demand has been made in accordance with this Section 8.12 and which has not been returned
to the Administrative Agent, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time
or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any
currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative
Agent or any Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Lender. The Administrative Agent agrees
to promptly notify the Lender after any such setoff and application made by the Administrative Agent; provided that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
(f) Each
party’s obligations under this Section 8.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent,
the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any
Loan Document.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED
“AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DE-FINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS
OF THE COMPANY MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE COMPANY
MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING 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 COMPANY MATERIALS 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 Borrowers, any Lender or any other Person for
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s,
any Loan Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Company Materials or notices through the Platform, any other
electronic messaging service, or through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties, as
applicable.
The Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices and Borrowing Requests) purportedly
given by or on behalf of the Borrowers even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were
not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient,
varied from any confirmation thereof. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may
be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
Section 9.02 Waivers;
Amendments.
(a) No
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document
shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance
of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default,
regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at
the time. No notice or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle the Borrowers to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances.
140
(b) Except
as expressly provided herein, neither any Loan Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case
of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent (to the
extent that such waiver, amendment or modification does not affect the rights, duties, privileges or obligations of the Administrative
Agent under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall execute such waiver, amendment or other modification to the extent approved
by the Required Lenders) and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements
in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the
consent of the Required Lenders, provided that no such agreement shall
(i) increase
the Commitment of any Lender (other than with respect to any Subsequent Exchange Term Loan Facility pursuant to Section 2.20
in respect of which such Lender has agreed to be a Subsequent Exchange Term Loan Lender) without the written consent of such Lender (it
being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.02 or the waiver of any Default,
Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension or increase of any
Commitment of any Lender),
(ii) reduce
the principal amount of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory
reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in principal) or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or
reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood
that any change to the definition of “Total Leverage Ratio” or in the component definitions thereof shall not
constitute a reduction of interest or fees), provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary
to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.13(c),
(iii) postpone
the maturity of any Loan (it being understood that a waiver of any Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction
of the Commitments shall not constitute an extension of any maturity date), or the date of any scheduled amortization payment of the
principal amount of any Loan under Section 2.10, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder,
or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the
written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby),
(iv) change
any of the provisions of this Section without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, provided
that any such change which is in favor of a Class of Lenders holding Loans maturing after the maturity of other Classes of Lenders
(and only takes effect after the maturity of such other Classes of Loans or Commitments) will require the written consent of the Required
Lenders with respect to each Class directly and adversely affected thereby,
(v) lower
the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document
specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or
make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as
the case may be),
(vi) (A) release
all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees under the Guaranty (except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents) without
the written consent of each Lender or (B) amend modify, terminate or waive the last paragraph of Section 9.15

the currency in which any Loan is denominated, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby,
(ix) change
(A) any of the provisions of Section 7.03, or Section 4.02 of the Pledge and Security Agreement and/or the

case without the written consent of each Lender,
(x) (A) amend
modify, terminate or waive Section 6.01(b) without the written consent of each Lender or (B) permit the
issuance or incurrence of any Indebtedness (including, for the avoidance of doubt any “debtor-in-possession” facility pursuant
to Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar financing under applicable law) and no Lender or the Agent shall consent to the
incurrence of such facility) with respect to which all or any portion of the Loan Document Obligations would be subordinated in right
of payment or Liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Loan Document Obligations would be subordinated (any such
other Indebtedness to which the Obligations are subordinated in right of payment or such Liens securing any of the Obligations are subordinated,
“Specified Indebtedness”), unless each Lender has been offered a bona fide opportunity to fund or otherwise
provide its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Obligations held by each Lender that are adversely affected thereby) of
the Specified Indebtedness on the same terms (other than bona fide backstop fees and reimbursement of counsel fees and other expenses
in connection with the negotiation of the terms of such transaction; such fees and expenses, “Ancillary Fees”)
as offered to all other providers (or their Affiliates) of the Specified Indebtedness and to the extent such adversely affected Lender
decides to participate in the Specified Indebtedness, receive its pro rata share of the fees and any other similar benefit (other than
Ancillary Fees) of the Specified Indebtedness afforded to the providers of the Specified Indebtedness (or any of their Affiliates) in
connection with providing the Specified Indebtedness without the written consent of each Lender; provided, that, for the avoidance of
doubt, any such opportunity (including any fees (other than bona fide backstop fees) available prior to closing thereof) may be provided
in connection with a post-closing syndication of the Specified Indebtedness;
(xi) amend,
modify or waive any provision of the Loan Documents in a manner that would permit any Subsidiary to be designated as an “Unrestricted
Subsidiary” or permit the transfer of any assets (including by Disposition, Investment or Restricted Payments) to “Unrestricted
Subsidiaries” or otherwise permit the creation or existence of, or transfer of any assets (including by Disposition, Investment
or Restricted Payments) to, a Subsidiary otherwise not subject to the provisions of the Credit Documents (it being acknowledged that
no Subsidiary is an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” hereunder as of the Effective Date) without the written consent of each Lender;
(xii) amend,
modify or waive any provision of Section 6.12 without the written consent of each Lender;
(xiii) to
the extent not otherwise permitted by this Agreement as of the Effective Date, authorize additional Indebtedness that would be issued
under the Loan Documents for the purpose of influencing voting thresholds without the written consent of each Lender;
(xiv) amend,
modify or waive any provision of the Loan Documents to allow for purchases of any Loans (by open market purchase or through other assignments)
by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or other Affiliates or make Discounted Term Loan Prepayments or other “Dutch Auction”

(xv) amend,
modify or waive any provision of any Loan Document in a manner that would be disproportionately adverse to any Lender vis-à-vis
any other Lender without the written consent of each Lender;
(xvi) permit
the receipt by the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries of any non-cash consideration (or any consideration deemed to be cash consideration)
except as permitted under this Agreement as of the Effective Date without the consent of each Lender;
(xvii) amend,
modify or waive the definitions of “Maturity Date” and “Springing Maturity Date Condition” without the written
consent of each Lender;
(xviii) amend,
modify, terminate or waive the definition of “Ratings Trigger Period” and/or Section 2.13(b) without
the written consent of each Lender;
provided,
further, that
(A) no
such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent without
the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any amendment
of this Section,
(B) any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency and
(C) any
waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding
Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected
by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into solely by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the requisite percentage
in interest of the affected Class of Lenders stating that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of
Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(a) subject
to subsection (b) above (including clause (xiii) thereof), this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the
written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities
to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in
respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) to include appropriately
the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Lenders
prior to such inclusion,
(b) this
Agreement and other Loan Documents may be amended or supplemented by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative
Agent and the Borrowers or any Loan Party as to which such agreement or agreements is to apply, without the need to obtain the consent
of any Lender, to include “parallel debt” or similar provisions, and any authorizations or granting of powers by the Lenders
and the other Secured Parties in favor of the Collateral Agent, in each case required to create in favor of the Collateral Agent any
security interest contemplated to be created under this Agreement, or to perfect any such security interest, where the Administrative
Agent shall have been advised by its counsel that such provisions are necessary or advisable under local law for such purpose (with the
Borrowers hereby agreeing to, and to cause their subsidiaries to, enter into any such agreement or agreements upon reasonable request
of the Administrative Agent promptly upon such request) and
143
(c) upon
notice thereof by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent with respect to the inclusion of any previously absent financial maintenance
covenant or other covenant, this Agreement shall be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender to include any such covenant on the date of the incurrence of the applicable
Indebtedness to the extent required by the terms of such definition or section.
(d) In
connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring
the consent of all Lenders or all directly and adversely affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change
is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose
consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting
Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrowers
may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04),
all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible
Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that
(c) the
Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to the extent such consent would be required under
Section 9.04(b) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which consent shall not unreasonably
be withheld,
(d) such
Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts (including any amounts under Section 2.11(a)(i)), payable to it hereunder from
the Eligible Assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all
other amounts) and
(e) unless
waived, the Borrowers or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified
in Section 9.04(b).
(f) [Reserved].
(g) [Reserved].
(h) Without
any further consent of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to negotiate, execute and deliver
on behalf of the Secured Parties any Intercreditor Agreement in a form substantially consistent with Exhibit E or Exhibit F
hereto.
(i) For
the avoidance of doubt, the definition of Required Lenders shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis in accordance with Section 1.04;
provided that any waiver, amendment or modification obtained on such basis (i) will not become operative until substantially
contemporaneously with the incurrence of such Indebtedness, (ii) is not required in order to avoid a covenant Default and (iii) does
not affect the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any then outstanding Class but not
the Lenders in respect of such Indebtedness to be incurred.
144
Section 9.03 Expenses;
Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) (a) Any
action taken by any Loan Party under or with respect to any Loan Document, even if required under any Loan Document or at the request
of the Agent or Required Lenders, shall be at the expense of such Loan Party, and neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall
be required under any Loan Document to reimburse any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party therefor except as expressly provided
therein. In addition, the Borrowers agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Agent for all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket
costs and expenses, including any and all recording and filing fees, costs and expenses incurred pursuant to any Loan Document, associated
with the syndication of the Loans and the preparation, execution and delivery, administration, amendment, modification, waiver and/or
enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions
hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), including all Attorney Costs of one primary
counsel (and a single local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction or otherwise retained with the Borrowers’ consent (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)), (b) to pay or reimburse the Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
(including Attorney Costs of one firm or counsel to the Agent and, to the extent required, one firm or local counsel in each relevant
local jurisdiction or otherwise retained with the Borrowers’ consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed), which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and (c) to pay or reimburse the Lenders
for all their reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses (without duplication) incurred in connection with the development,
preparation, execution and delivery of, and any amendment, supplement, modification to, waiver, enforcement and preservation of rights
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and
administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of
one firm of counsel to the Lenders taken as a whole (it being understood such counsel shall initially be Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher
LLP), and, to the extent required one firm of local counsel in each relevant local jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel
acting in multiple jurisdictions)). Subject to the limitations above, the foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search,
filing, recording and title insurance charges and fees related thereto, and other reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Agent. The agreements in this Section 9.03 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment
of all other Loan Document Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days
of receipt by the Borrowers of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail.
(b)
(i) The
Borrowers agree to pay, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, each Lender at any time party hereto (whether or not such Lender remains
a party hereto) and each of their respective Related Persons (without duplication) (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”)
from and against all Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee and the reasonable and documented
or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses to which such Indemnitee may become subject, in each case to the extent of any such Liabilities and
related expenses, to the extent arising out of, or resulting from, or in connection with the Loan Documents, the use or proposed use
of proceeds of any Loan or any Proceeding (regardless of whether such Indemnitee is a party thereto or whether or not such Proceeding
was brought by any Borrower, their equityholders, Affiliates or creditors or any other third Person) and to reimburse each such Indemnitee
promptly for any reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, responding
to or defending any of the foregoing (which, in the case of Attorney Costs, shall be limited to (x) Attorney Costs of one firm of
counsel for the Agent and its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives, (y) Attorney
Costs of one firm of counsel for the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, and other
representatives (it being understood such counsel shall initially be Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP) and, (z) if reasonably
necessary, Attorney Costs of a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single firm of special
counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the indemnitee affected
by such conflict notifies the Borrowers of the existence of such conflict and in connection with the investigating, responding to or
defending any of the foregoing has retained its own counsel, of one other firm of counsel and, if reasonably necessary, on additional
firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for such similarly situated affected Indemnitees)), in each case relating to the
Transactions or the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the
use or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans (all the foregoing in this clause (b), collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”);
provided that this clause (b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent Liabilities
arising from any non-Tax claim; and provided, further, that the Borrowers shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee
with respect to Indemnified Matters to the extent arising from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Persons as determined in a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction,
(ii) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Persons under the terms of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Persons as determined in a final and non-appealable decision
of a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) any Proceeding brought by any Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee that does not
involve an act or omission by the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries; provided that the Agent, to the extent fulfilling its
role in its capacities as such, shall remain indemnified in respect of such a Proceeding, to the extent that none of the exceptions set
forth in clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding proviso applies to such Person at such time.
145
(ii) No
Loan Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without written consent of the Borrowers, but if settled with
the Borrowers’ written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such
Proceeding, each Credit Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all Liabilities and reasonable
and documented or invoiced legal or other out-of-pocket expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with and to the
extent provided in the other provisions of this Section 9.03. If any Person has reimbursed any Indemnitee for any legal or other
expenses in accordance with such request and there is a final and non-appealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that
the Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to this Section 9.03,
then the Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount.
(iii) No
Loan Party shall without the prior written consent of any Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it
being understood that the withholding of consent due to non-satisfaction of any of the conditions described in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) of this sentence shall be deemed reasonable), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of
which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless such settlement (i) includes a full and unconditional
release of such Indemnitee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the
subject matter of such Proceeding, (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing
or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, and (iii) includes customary confidentiality and non-disparagement agreements.
Section 9.04 Successors
and Assigns.
(a) The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrowers without such consent
shall be null and void), and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance
with this Section. 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 (c) of
this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal
or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
146
(b) (i) Subject
to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (b)(ii) and (g) below, any Lender may assign to one or
more Eligible Assignees (provided that, no assignments to any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or any Affiliates thereof
are permitted) with the prior written consent of the Borrowers (only with respect to assignments to competitors of the Borrowers), provided
that no consent of the Borrowers shall be required for any other assignment.
(ii) Assignments
shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount
of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject
to each such assignment (determined as of the trade date specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment or,
if no trade date is so specified, as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than, $1,000,000 (and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), unless the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the
Borrowers shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or
(i) has occurred and is continuing,
(B) 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, provided that this subclause (B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans,
(C) the
parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (which shall include a
representation by the assignee that it meets all the requirements to be an Eligible Assignee), together (unless waived by the Administrative
Agent) with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that assignments made pursuant to Section 2.19(b) or
Section 9.02(c) shall not require the signature of the assigning Lender to become effective; and
(D) the
assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any tax forms required by Section 2.17(f) and
an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information
(which may contain material non-public information about the Borrowers, the Loan Parties and their Related Parties or their respective
securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures
and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws and
(E) [reserved].
(iii) Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 (and subject to the obligations and
limitations of) Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and to any fees payable
hereunder that have accrued for such Lender’s account but have not yet been paid). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights
or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a
sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of this
Section.
147
(iv) The
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices 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 Commitment of, and
principal and interest amounts 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 Borrowers, 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and, solely with respect
to its Loans or Commitments, any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v) Upon
its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed
Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by Section 2.17(f) (unless the assignee shall already
be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any
written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept
such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes
of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph (b).
(vi) 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 Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions
Act.
(c) (i) Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other Persons
(other than to a Person that is not an Eligible Assignee ) (a “Participant”), provided that (A) such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents, provided
that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that directly and adversely affects
such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender (subject to the requirements and limitations thereof, it being understood that any tax forms required by Section 2.17(f) shall
be provided solely to the Lender that sold the participation) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph
(b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08
as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(b) as
though it were a Lender.
148
(ii) A
Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or Section 2.17
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the
sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(iii) Each
Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register
on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”), provided
that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity
of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under
any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish
that such Commitment, Loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury
Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and each Person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof shall be treated as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary.
(d) Any
Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, 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 or other central bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of
a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any
of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose
funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrowers, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise
be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute
a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all
or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan
by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting
Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement
(all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which
agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in
full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, such party will not institute against, or join any
other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under
the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04,
any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and without
paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial
institutions (consented to by the Borrowers and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity or credit support to or for the account of
such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating

of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such Indebtedness. The applicable Lender shall
notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of such setoff and application, provided that any failure to give or
any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such setoff and application under this Section. The rights of each
Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of any obligation owing hereunder (the “Applicable
Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other
than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged
only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment
Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement
Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the
Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers under this Section shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Borrowers, the other Subsidiaries and their

that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agents, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates,
and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. Each Agent, Lender and their
respective Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AMC ENTERTAINMENT
HOLDINGS, INC. SUBSIDIARY ODEON FINCO PLC
ANNOUNCES CLOSING
OF $425 MILLION TERM LOAN
LEAWOOD,
KANSAS – April 17, 2026: Odeon Finco PLC (“Odeon”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Odeon Cinemas Group
Limited (“OCGL”) and AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: AMC) (“AMC”), announced today that it has
entered into a Credit Agreement with Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and borrowed $425.0 million of new first lien 10.50% term loan
due 2031 (the “Odeon Term Loan”).
The proceeds from
the Odeon Term Loan were used to fund the previously announced full redemption of Odeon’s outstanding 12.750% Senior Secured Notes
due 2027 (the “Odeon Notes”) and to pay related fees, costs, premiums, and expenses.
Commenting on
the closing of the Odeon Term Loan, AMC Chairman and CEO, Adam Aron said, “With this transaction, AMC has once again taken
decisive action to strengthen our financial position by extending our debt maturities by four full years, while simultaneously
reducing our annual cash interest expense. I would like to thank all of our lenders who continue their staunch support of AMC, and
in this case particularly the professional team at Deutsche Bank who were central to the refinancing of our Odeon debt. This
transaction is yet another meaningful, tangible step that enhances our liquidity, improves our flexibility, and better positions AMC
for the future.”
Aron concluded, “In addition to
the actions we have taken, and will continue to take, to strengthen AMC's balance sheet, we note with optimism that calendar year 2026
began with the highest Q1 box office since the pandemic closed theatres back in 2020. We fervently believe that AMC is increasingly well-positioned
to capitalize on the robust box office growth that we anticipate will materialize during the remainder of 2026 and beyond.”
The collateral
and guarantors of the Odeon Term Loan are substantially the same as those of the Odeon Notes. AMC has not pledged any of its assets to
secure the Odeon Term Loan or the related guarantees, and AMC’s guaranty does not benefit from any security interest over the collateral
or any other asset.
In connection with
the redemption of the Odeon Notes, the Odeon Notes will be delisted from the Official List of The International Stock Exchange.

Forward-Looking Statements
This communication includes “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. In many cases, these forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “will,”
“may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,”
“estimates,” “intends,” “indicates,” “projects,” “goals,” “objectives,”
“targets,” “predicts,” “plans,” “seeks,” and variations of these words and similar expressions.
Examples of forward-looking statements include statements the Company makes regarding impacts of the industry box office in North America
and European industry attendance, the Company’s expected revenue, net loss, capital expenditures, diluted loss per share, Adjusted
EBITDA and estimated cash and cash equivalents, the potential for sustained growth, the Company’s cash generation potential, the
potential for further debt equitization, the ability to achieve the Company’s AMC Go Plan, the Company’s financial runway
and the continued box office recovery as well as the future box office outlook, including with respect to the full year 2026. Any forward-looking
statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. These forward-looking statements may include, among other things, statements
related to AMC’s current expectations regarding the performance of its business, financial results, liquidity and capital resources
and are based on information available at the time the statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time
with respect to future events, and are subject to risks, trends, uncertainties and other facts that could cause actual performance or
results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. These risks, trends, uncertainties
and facts include, but are not limited to: the sufficiency of AMC’s existing cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing
capacity; AMC’s ability to obtain additional liquidity, which if not realized or insufficient to generate the material amounts
of additional liquidity that will be required unless it is able to achieve more normalized levels of operating revenues, likely would
result with AMC seeking an in-court or out-of-court restructuring of its liabilities; the effectiveness of the refinancing transactions
completed in the third quarter of 2025 and the ability to further equitize existing debt; increased use of alternative film delivery
methods or other forms of entertainment; the continued recovery of the North American and international box office; AMC’s significant
indebtedness, including its ability to meet its covenants and limitations on AMC's ability to take advantage of certain business opportunities
imposed by such covenants; shrinking exclusive theatrical release windows; the seasonality of AMC’s revenue and working capital;
intense competition in the geographic areas in which AMC operates; risks relating to impairment losses, including with respect to goodwill
and other intangibles, and theatre and other closure charges; motion picture production, promotion, marketing, and performance including
labor stoppages affecting the production, supply and release schedule of theatrical motion picture content and choice of distributors
to release fewer feature-length films as a result of the additional financial burden imposed by tariffs; the use of artificial intelligence
(“AI”) technology in the filmmaking process and audience acceptance of movies made utilizing AI technology; general and international
economic, political, regulatory and other risks, including but not limited to rising interest rates; AMC’s lack of control over
distributors of films; limitations on the availability of capital, including on the authorized number of AMC common stock; dilution of
voting power caused by recent sales of AMC common stock and through the issuance of AMC common stock underlying Muvico’s exchangeable
notes and the issuance of preferred stock; AMC’s ability to achieve expected synergies, benefits and performance from its strategic
initiatives; AMC’s ability to refinance its indebtedness on favorable terms; AMC’s ability to optimize its theatre circuit;
AMC’s ability to recognize interest deduction carryforwards, net operating loss carryforwards, and other tax attributes to reduce
future tax liability; supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, increased cost and inflation; and other factors discussed in the reports
AMC has filed with the SEC. Should one or more of these risks, trends, uncertainties, or facts materialize, or should underlying assumptions
prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by the forward-looking statements contained herein.
Accordingly, the Company cautions you against relying on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made.
Forward-looking statements should not
be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which
such performance or results will be achieved. For a detailed discussion of risks, trends and uncertainties facing AMC, see the section
entitled “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
as well as our other filings with the SEC, copies of which may be obtained by visiting our Investor Relations website at investor.amctheatres.com

no duty, to update any information contained herein to reflect future events or circumstances, except as required by applicable law.
