| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On June 30, 2023, Automatic Data Processing,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a $4.25 billion 364-Day Credit Agreement (the “364-Day Facility”)
and a $2.25 billion Five-Year Credit Agreement (the “Five-Year Facility,” and together with the 364-Day Facility, the “New
Facilities”) with a group of lenders (the “Lenders”). On June 30, 2023, the Company also entered into an Amendment Agreement
(the “Amendment”) to the Company’s existing $3.20 billion Five-Year Credit Agreement, dated June 9, 2021 (the “Existing
Credit Agreement,” the facility thereunder, the “Existing Five-Year Facility,” and together with the New Facilities,
the “Facilities”), with the lenders to the Existing Credit Agreement.
The Five-Year Facility contains an accordion
feature under which the aggregate commitment can be increased by $500 million to an aggregate principal amount of $2.75 billion, subject
to the availability of additional commitments. The 364-Day Facility replaced the Company’s prior $3.75 billion 364-day facility,
entered into on July 1, 2022, and the Five-Year Facility replaced the Company’s prior $2.75 billion five-year facility, entered
into on June 12, 2019, both of which were terminated on June 30, 2023. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acts as Administrative Agent, and Bank
of America, N.A., BNP Paribas, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as Syndication Agents for each of the New Facilities.
The Amendment amends the Existing Credit Agreement to replace the LIBOR-based interest rate benchmark provisions with customary SOFR-based
interest rate benchmark provisions and to make certain other conforming and mechanical changes. The Existing Credit Agreement will continue
in full force and effect as amended by the Amendment.
Two borrowing options will be available under
the Facilities: (i) a competitive advance option and (ii) a revolving credit option, which in the case of the Existing Five-Year Facility,
comprises U.S., Canadian and Euro tranche loans. The competitive advance option will be provided on an uncommitted competitive advance
basis through an auction mechanism. The revolving credit will be provided on a committed basis. Under each option, amounts borrowed and
repaid may be reborrowed subject to availability under each Facility.
The Lenders’ commitments under the 364-Day
Facility will expire on June 28, 2024 and any borrowings outstanding will mature and be payable on such date (or, at the option of the
Company, subject to the accuracy of all representations and warranties and the absence of any default, on June 28, 2025). The Lenders’
commitments under the Five-Year Facility will expire and the borrowings thereunder will mature on June 30, 2028. The Company may, from
time to time and by written notice to the Administrative Agent given not fewer than 30 days and not more than 120 days prior to any anniversary
of June 30, 2023, request that the Lenders extend the commitments under the Five-Year Facility for an additional period of one year. The
Lenders’ commitments under the Existing Five-Year Facility will expire and the borrowings thereunder will mature on June 9, 2026.
The Company may, from time to time and by written notice to the Administrative Agent given not fewer than 30 days and not more than 120
days prior to any anniversary of June 9, 2021, request that the Lenders extend the commitments under the Existing Five-Year Facility for
an additional period of one year.
Under each Facility, interest under a competitive
advance option will be payable at the rates obtained from bids selected by the Company in accordance with the competitive auction procedures
set forth in each Facility.
At the Company’s option, under each Facility,
revolving loans denominated in U.S. Dollars will bear interest at a floating rate per annum based on margin over a Term SOFR-based rate
for a one, three or six month interest period as selected by the Company or a margin over a floating rate per annum determined by reference
to the highest of (i) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.’s prime rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% per annum, and (iii)
a Term SOFR-based rate for a one month interest period plus 1% per annum.
In addition, the Company will pay a commitment
fee on the aggregate unused commitments as follows: (i) in the case of the 364-Day Facility, at a rate of 0.0175% per annum, and (ii)
in the case of the Five-Year Facility, at a rate (ranging from 0.04% to 0.10%) determined by Company’s issuer rating established
by Fitch Ratings Inc., Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Also, the Company will pay
to each Lender a term-out fee of 0.75% of the amount of any loans outstanding under the 364-Day Facility on June 28, 2024.
The New Facilities’ other terms are substantially
similar to the terms of the facility they replaced, including customary covenants that restrict the Company’s and its borrowing
subsidiaries’ ability to create liens or other encumbrances, enter into sale and leaseback transactions and enter into consolidations,
mergers and transfers of all or substantially all of their respective assets. Each New Facility contains customary events of default that
would permit the lenders to accelerate the loans, including the failure to make timely payments under a New Facility or other material
indebtedness, the failure to satisfy covenants and specified events of bankruptcy and insolvency.
The Company has agreed to guarantee any obligations
of any of its subsidiaries that are entitled to borrow the funds under each Facility. Borrowings under the Facilities may be used for
general corporate purposes.
The New Facilities are led by J.P. Morgan Chase
Bank, N.A., BofA Securities, Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as Joint
Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners. Barclays Bank PLC and MUFG Bank, Ltd. are Documentation Agents for each of the Facilities.
Certain of the Lenders, and their respective
affiliates, have performed, and may in the future perform for the Company and its subsidiaries, various commercial banking, investment
banking, underwriting and other financial advisory services, for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses.
The foregoing description is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Facilities and the Amendment, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 hereto and incorporated herein
by reference.

364-DAY CREDIT AGREEMENT
dated as of June 30, 2023 (this “Agreement”), among AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING, INC., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”); the BORROWING SUBSIDIARIES from time to time party hereto (the Company and the Borrowing Subsidiaries
being collectively called the “Borrowers”); the LENDERS from time to time party hereto; and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A.,
as Administrative Agent.
The Company has requested
that the Lenders (such term and each other capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein having the meaning assigned to it in
Article I) extend credit in the form of Commitments under which the Borrowers may obtain Loans in US Dollars in an aggregate principal
amount outstanding at any time of US$4,250,000,000. The Company has also requested that the Lenders provide (a) a procedure pursuant
to which the Borrowers may invite the Lenders to bid on an uncommitted basis on short-term Loans to the Borrowers and (b) a procedure
pursuant to which the Borrowers may obtain Loans on an uncommitted basis from individual Lenders on terms to be negotiated at the time
such Loans are requested. The proceeds of borrowings hereunder are to be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and their
subsidiaries, including the refinancing of any indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s 364-Day Credit Agreement dated as of
July 1, 2022 and its Five-Year Credit Agreement dated as of June 12, 2019 (together, the “Existing Credit Agreements”)
or under the Company’s Five-Year Credit Agreement dated as of June 9, 2021 (the “2021 Five-Year Credit Agreement”).
The Lenders are willing to
establish the credit facilities referred to in the preceding paragraph upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE
I
Definitions
SECTION
1.01. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below:
“2021 Five-Year
Credit Agreement” has the meaning assigned to such term in the introductory statement.
“ABR”,
when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, bear interest at
a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate.
“Adjusted Daily
Simple SOFR” means an interest rate per annum equal to (a) the Daily Simple SOFR, plus (b) 0.10%; provided that if the
Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR as so determined would be less than the Floor, such rate shall be deemed to be equal to the Floor for the purposes
of this Agreement.
“Adjusted Term SOFR
Rate” means, for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum equal to (a) the Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period, plus
(b) 0.10%; provided that if the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate as so determined would be less than the Floor, such rate shall be deemed
to be equal to the Floor for purposes of this Agreement.
“Administrative
Agent” means JPMCB, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder, or any successor in such capacity. Unless
the context requires otherwise, the term “Administrative Agent” shall include any Affiliate of JPMCB through which JPMCB shall
perform any of its obligations in such capacity hereunder.
“Administrative
Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.
“Affiliate”
means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or
is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified.
“Agreement Currency”
has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 10.13(b).
“Alternate Base
Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the
NYFRB Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one month Interest Period as published
two U.S. Government Securities Business Days prior to such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business
Day) plus 1%; provided that for the purpose of this definition, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for any day shall be based on the Term
SOFR Reference Rate at approximately 5:00 a.m. Chicago time on such day (or any amended publication time for the Term SOFR Reference Rate,
as specified by the CME Term SOFR Administrator in the Term SOFR Reference Rate methodology). Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due
to a change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date
of such change in the Prime Rate, the NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, respectively. If the Alternate Base Rate is being used
as an alternate rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.12 (for the avoidance of doubt, only until the Benchmark Replacement has been determined
pursuant to Section 2.12(b)), then the Alternate Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without
reference to clause (c) above. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Alternate Base Rate as determined pursuant to the foregoing would be
less than 0.00%, such rate shall be deemed to be 0.00%.
“Ancillary Document”
has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 10.06(b).
“Anti-Corruption
Laws” means the FCPA and other laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries concerning or relating
to bribery or corruption.
“Applicable Rate”
means a rate per annum equal to, with respect to (a) any Term Benchmark Loan, 0.625% and (b) any ABR Loan, 0.00%.
“Arranger”
means each of JPMCB, BofA Securities, Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc.,
each in its capacity as joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner for the credit facility established hereunder.
“Assignment and
Assumption” means an assignment and assumption entered into by a Lender and an assignee (with the consent of any party whose
consent is required by Section 10.04), and accepted by the Administrative Agent, in the form of Exhibit A or any other form
approved by the Administrative Agent.
“Attributable Debt”
means, with respect to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the present value (discounted at the rate set forth or implicit in the terms
of the lease included in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction) of the total obligations of the lessee for rental payments (other than amounts
required to be paid on account of taxes, maintenance, repairs, insurance, assessments, utilities, operating and labor costs and other
items which do not constitute payments for property rights) during the remaining term of the lease included in such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction (including any period for which such lease has been extended). In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee
upon payment of a penalty, the Attributable Debt shall be the lesser of the Attributable Debt determined assuming termination upon the
first date such lease may be terminated (in which case the Attributable Debt shall also include the amount of the penalty, but no rent
shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) or the Attributable
Debt determined assuming no such termination.
“Availability Period”
means the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of the Termination Date and the date of termination
of the Commitments.
“Available Tenor”
means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark (or
component thereof) or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof), as applicable, that
is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period for any term rate or otherwise, for determining any frequency of making
payments of interest calculated pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for
such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to clause (e) of Section 2.12.
“Bankruptcy Event”
means, with respect to any Person, that such Person becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver,
conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with the reorganization or liquidation
of its business or custodian appointed for it, or, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, has taken any action in
furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment, provided that
a Bankruptcy Event shall not result solely by virtue of any ownership interest, or the acquisition of any ownership interest, in such
Person by a Governmental Authority or instrumentality thereof. If, however, such
ownership interest results in or provides such
Person with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment
on its assets or permits such Person (or such Governmental Authority or instrumentality) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any
contracts or agreements made by such Person, such ownership interest will constitute a Bankruptcy Event. Nothing in this definition or
elsewhere in this Agreement shall require any Person to disclose any information that it would be prohibited from disclosing under applicable
law or regulation.
“Benchmark”
means, initially, with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan, the Term SOFR Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event, and
the related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark”
means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant
to clause (b) of Section 2.12.
“Benchmark Replacement”
means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent
for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:
(1) the Adjusted
Daily Simple SOFR; or
(2) the sum of: (a) the alternate
benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Company as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for
the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or
the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention
for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for US Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities
at such time in the United States and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.
If the Benchmark Replacement
as determined pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor
for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
“Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for
any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or
method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), that has been selected
by the Administrative Agent and the Company for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation
of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the
applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and/or (ii)
any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread
adjustment, for the
replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable
Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for US Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.
“Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement and/or any Term Benchmark Loan, any technical, administrative
or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Alternate Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,”
the definition of “U.S. Government Securities Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency
of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices,
length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that
the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Company, reasonably determines may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation

(or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor
administrator that will continue to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, any Available
Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

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 upon
such assumption, make available to the relevant 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, and the Administrative Agent has made an amount corresponding to such
share available to such Borrower, then the applicable Lender and such Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such
Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to
the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case
of such Lender, the rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount or (ii) in
the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the subject Loan. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent,
then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing and the Administrative Agent shall return to such
Borrower any amount (including interest) paid by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph.
SECTION
2.06. Repayment of Borrowings; Evidence of Debt; Extension of Maturity Date. (a)
Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders (i) the then
unpaid principal amount of the Loans comprising each Borrowing of such Borrower on the Maturity Date and (ii) the then unpaid principal
amount of each Competitive Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises
to pay to the applicable Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Contract Loan on the date or dates agreed by such Borrower and
such Lender.
(b)
Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the obligations of each Borrower
to such Lender resulting from the Loans made by such Lender.
(c)
The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Borrowing made hereunder,
the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder for the accounts 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 any Borrower to repay the Loans
made to it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e)
Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it to any Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note if it is the policy
of such Lender to obtain promissory notes in transactions comparable to those provided for herein or if such Lender has another business
reason for requesting such a promissory note. In such event, each applicable Borrower shall prepare, 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) in
the form of Exhibit C hereto. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by each such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including
after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the
payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
(f)
Each Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) given not
less than 45 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Termination Date, extend the Maturity Date to a date not later than the first
anniversary of the Termination Date; provided that any such extension of the Maturity Date shall be subject to the satisfaction,
on and as of the Termination Date, of the following conditions:
(i)
The representations and warranties of the Borrowers set forth herein shall be true and correct on and as of the Termination Date,
except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties
shall be true and correct as of such earlier date).
(ii)
Immediately before and after the Termination Date, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
An extension of the Maturity Date as set forth herein
shall be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by each Borrower on and as of the Termination Date as to the matters specified
in paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.06(f). Loans repaid or prepaid after the Termination Date may not be reborrowed.
SECTION
2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of
the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest
Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. After the initial Revolving Borrowings, the Borrowers may elect to convert and continue
such Revolving Borrowings to or as other Revolving Borrowings as provided in this Section. The Borrowers may elect different options with
respect to different portions of the affected Borrowings, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders
holding the Loans comprising such Borrowings and any Loans resulting from an election made with respect to any such portion shall be considered
a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Borrowing may be converted into or continued as a Borrowing
with an Interest Period ending after the Maturity Date. This Section shall not apply to Competitive Loans or to Contract Loans, which
may not be converted or continued.
(b)
To make an election pursuant to this Section, a Borrower, or the Company on its behalf, shall notify the Administrative Agent of
such election by telephone in the case of an election that would result in a Borrowing, by the time and date that a Borrowing Request
would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be
made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed
promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative
Agent and signed by the relevant Borrower, or the Company on its behalf. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall
not be construed to permit any Borrower to elect an Interest Period for Term Benchmark Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d).
(c)
Each telephonic 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 a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing is elected; and
(iv)
in the case of an election of a Term Benchmark 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”; provided that no Term
Benchmark Borrowing may be elected with an Interest Period that would extend after the Maturity Date.
If any such Interest Election Request requests
a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period
of one month’s duration.
(d)
Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof
and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)
If the relevant Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to
the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest
Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing.
(f)
The conversion or continuation of any Borrowing shall not constitute a repayment of amounts outstanding or a new advance of funds
hereunder.
SECTION
2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously
terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date.
(b)
The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of
the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum and
(ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance
with Section 2.09, the Revolving Loan Exposure of any Lender would exceed its Commitment or the aggregate Exposures would exceed
the aggregate Commitments.
(c)
The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b)
of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying the effective date
of such election. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.
Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the
Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which
case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if
such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments
shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.
SECTION
2.09. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Any Borrower, or the Company on behalf
of any Borrower, shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of such Borrower in whole or in part,
subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section; provided that, unless the applicable Borrowers and Lenders
shall have otherwise agreed at the time such Loans were made, Competitive Loans or Contract Loans may be prepaid only with the consent
of the Lenders making such Loans.
(b)
If prior to the Termination Date the aggregate Exposures shall exceed the aggregate Commitments, then (i) on the last day of any
Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Borrowing, and (ii) on any other date in the event ABR Borrowings shall be outstanding, the applicable
Borrowers shall prepay Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount necessary to eliminate such excess (after giving
effect to any other prepayment of Loans on such day) and (B) the amount of the applicable Borrowings referred to in clause (i) or
(ii), as applicable.
(c)
Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings
to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section.
(d)
The applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment of a Borrowing hereunder (i) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m.,
New York City time, three Business Days before the date of such prepayment and (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later
than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of such 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; provided that, if a notice
of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08(c),
then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08(c). 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. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably
to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest to the extent required by
Section 2.11 and (ii) break funding payments pursuant to Section 2.14.
SECTION
2.10. Fees. (a) The
Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in US Dollars for the account of each Lender (except, in the case of any Defaulting
Lender, as provided in Section 2.19) a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.0175% per annum on the daily unused amount
of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which such Commitment
terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the fifteenth day after the last day of March, June, September and
December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof, and on the date on which the Commitments terminate.
All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed
to be used to the extent of the outstanding Loans of such Lender.
(b)
On the Termination Date, the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a term-out
fee equal to 0.75% of the outstanding amount of such Lender’s Loans that are not repaid on the Termination Date.
(c)
The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately
agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agent.
(d)
All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution,
in the case of commitment fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION
2.11. 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 Term Benchmark Borrowing shall bear interest (i) in the case of a Revolving Borrowing, at the Adjusted
Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate, or (ii) in the case of a Term Benchmark
Competitive Loan, at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as applicable) the
Margin applicable to such Loan.
(c)
Each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest at the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan.
(d)
Each Contract Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum agreed upon between the applicable Borrower and Lender.
(e)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee payable by any Borrower hereunder is not
paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount 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, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable
to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section and (ii) in the case of any other amount payable, 2% per annum plus
the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) above.
(f)
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 (e) above shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan
(other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), 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 Term Benchmark
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.
(g)
All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to
the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365
days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day
but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent,
and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION
2.12. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c),
(d), (e) and (f) of this Section 2.12, if:
(i)
the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement
of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term
SOFR Rate (including because the Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest Period or
(B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR; or
(ii)
the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or in the case of a Term Benchmark Competitive Loan, the Lender that
is required to make such Loan) that would participate in such Borrowing that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for
a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any
time, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining
their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice
thereof to the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until
(x) the Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice
no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with
the terms of Section 2.07 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, any Interest Election Request that
requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Borrowing Request
that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable,
for (x) an Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.12(a)(i) or
(ii) above or (y) an ABR Borrowing if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.12(a)(i) or (ii) above; provided
that (x) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the applicable Borrower for Term
Benchmark Competitive Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such
notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan
or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Loan is outstanding on the date of the applicable Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative
Agent referred to in this Section 2.12(a) with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable, then
until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such
notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request
in accordance with the terms of Section 2.07 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, (1) any Term Benchmark
Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business
Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as Adjusted
Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.12(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is
the subject of Section 2.12(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day and (2) any Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall on and from such day be
converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan.
(b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x)
if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) 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 (2) 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 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.
(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in
consultation with the Company, to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective
without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(d)
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event,
(ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (1) the
removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (2) 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 2.12, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the
occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection,
will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other
party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.12.
(e)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation
of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate) and either (A) any tenor
for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by
the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided
a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative,
then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time
to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is
subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no
longer, subject to an announcement that it is 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.
(f)
Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any
request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during
any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing
into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is
not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition
Event. During any 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. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Loan is
outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect
to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented
pursuant to this Section 2.12, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the
next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x)
an Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Loan so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an
ABR Loan if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR
Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan.
SECTION
2.13. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law or the applicability
of any Statutory Reserves 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 offshore interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Term Benchmark
Loans made by such Lender or participations therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall
be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Term Benchmark Loan (or of maintaining
its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or otherwise), then the Company will pay or cause the other Borrowers to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)
If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return
on such Lender’s capital or on the capital
of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the 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 capital adequacy and liquidity),
then from time to time the Company will pay or cause the other Borrowers to pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)
Each Lender shall determine the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, as
the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section using the methods customarily used by it for such purpose (and
if such Lender uses more than one such method, the method used hereunder shall be that which most accurately determines such amount or
amounts). A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and an explanation in reasonable detail of the
method and calculations by which such amount shall have been determined, shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Company shall pay or cause the other Borrowers to pay to 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 Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant
to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred 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 delivers a certificate with respect thereto as provided in
paragraph (c) above; 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
2.14. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan or Fixed Rate
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 Term Benchmark Loan to a Loan of a different Type or Interest Period 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 2.09(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the
assignment or deemed assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall
compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount
or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations used
by such Lender to determine such amount or amounts, shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall
pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt thereof.
SECTION
2.15. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any Borrower
in respect of any Obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may
be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such
deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law.
(b)
In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)
The relevant Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 15 Business Days after written demand therefor,
for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or
with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and 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 setting forth in reasonable
detail the circumstances giving rise thereto and the calculations used by such Lender to determine the amount thereof delivered to the
Company 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)
As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.
(e)
Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for (i) any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only
to the extent that the relevant Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting
the obligation of the relevant Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure
to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(h) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in each case that are paid or
payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any penalties, interest and 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. The indemnity under this paragraph (e) shall be
paid within 15 Business Days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes
so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest
error.
(f)
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which
a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver
to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and
executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender has received written notice from the Company advising it of the availability
of such exemption or reduction and containing all applicable documentation.
(ii) If a payment
made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States 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 Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time
or times reasonably requested by the Withholding 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 Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent
to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations
under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(f)(ii),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
SECTION
2.16. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a)
Except as agreed by the relevant Borrower and the applicable Lenders with respect to Contract Loans, each Borrower shall make each payment
required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under
Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time (or any other applicable time agreed by the relevant Borrower
and the applicable Lenders with respect to Contract Loans) 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
the Administrative Agent to the applicable account specified in Schedule 2.16 for the account of the applicable Lenders or, in any such
case, to such other account as the Administrative Agent shall from time to time specify in a notice delivered to the Company and the applicable
Borrower; provided that payments to the applicable Lenders in respect of Contract Loans and payments pursuant to
Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 10.03 shall
be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified
therein (it being agreed that the Borrowers will be deemed to have satisfied their obligations with respect to payments referred to in
this proviso if they shall make such payments to the persons entitled thereto in accordance with instructions provided by the Administrative
Agent; the Administrative Agent agrees to provide such instructions upon request, and no Borrower will be deemed to have failed to make
such a payment if it shall transfer such payment to an improper account or address as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent
to provide proper instructions). The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any Lender
or other Person promptly, in accordance with customary banking practices, following receipt thereof at the appropriate lending office
or other address specified by such Lender or other Person. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day,
the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest
thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in US Dollars. Any payment required to
be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall,
at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures
of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.
(b)
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal
of or interest on 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, 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 their Loans and accrued interest thereon; provided
that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph
shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement
or 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, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring
a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off 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. Any purchaser
of a participation under this paragraph shall have the benefit of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 with respect to the participation purchased,
but shall not be deemed by virtue of such purchase to have extended any Commitment that it had not extended prior to such purchase.
(c)
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the relevant Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is
due for the account of all or certain of the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute
to the applicable Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then
each of the applicable 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 a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry practices
on interbank compensation.
(d)
If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement,
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received
by it for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Administrative Agent until all such unsatisfied
obligations are fully paid.
SECTION
2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 2.13, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall consult with the Company regarding any actions
that could be taken to reduce amounts payable under such Sections and the costs of taking such actions and shall, at the request of the
Company following such consultations, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans
hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of
such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15, as the
case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous
to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable, direct, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection
with any such designation or assignment.
(b)
If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender or (iv) any Lender delivers a Notice of Illegality pursuant to Section 2.18, then the Company 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 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided
that (A) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee
or the Company and (C) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the delivery of a Notice of Illegality under Section
2.18, it shall not be unlawful under Federal or applicable state or foreign law for the assignee to make Loans or otherwise extend credit
to or do business with the Subsidiary in respect of which such Notice of Illegality was delivered. 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, the circumstances entitling
the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION
2.18. Designation of Borrowing Subsidiaries. The Company may at any time and from time to time designate any Subsidiary
as a Borrowing Subsidiary by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and
the Company. As soon as practicable upon receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will post a copy of such Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement
to the Lenders. Each Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement shall become effective on the date five Business Days after it has been posted by
the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (subject to the receipt by any Lender of any information reasonably requested by it not later
than the third Business Day after the posting of such Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement under the Patriot Act or other “know-your-customer”
laws including, to the extent such Subsidiary qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation,
a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Subsidiary), unless prior thereto the Administrative Agent shall have received
written notice from any Lender that it shall be unlawful under Federal or applicable state or foreign law or prohibited under such Lender’s
bona fide internal policies of general applicability for such Lender to make Loans or otherwise extend credit to or do business with such
Subsidiary (a “Notice of Illegality”), in which case such Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement shall not become effective
until such time as such Lender withdraws such Notice of Illegality or ceases to be a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 2.17(b). Upon
the effectiveness of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement as provided in the preceding sentence, the applicable Subsidiary shall for all purposes
of this Agreement be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement until the Company shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative
Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Subsidiary, whereupon such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary
and a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to
any Borrowing Subsidiary at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be outstanding hereunder,
provided that such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to terminate the right of such Borrowing Subsidiary to make
further Borrowings under this Agreement. As soon as practicable upon receipt of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the Administrative Agent
shall send a copy thereof to each Lender.
SECTION
2.19. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then (i) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion
of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a); and (ii) the Commitment and Revolving Loan Exposure of such Defaulting
Lender shall be disregarded for purposes of any determination of whether the Required Lenders or other requisite Lenders have taken or
may take any action hereunder (including any
consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification
requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
(b)
In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Company shall agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters
that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall fund its Loan to each Borrower or purchase at par
Loans of the other Lenders (other than Competitive Loans), in each case as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in
order for such Lender to hold such Loans ratably in accordance with its Commitment. Such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender
upon remedying all matters to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting
Lender, including the funding of any Loan or the closing of the purchase of any Loan necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans
ratably in accordance with its Commitment.

ARTICLE
VIII
The Administrative Agent
In order to expedite the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Person named in the heading of this Agreement is hereby appointed to act as Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders. Each of the Lenders and each assignee of any Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent
to take such actions on behalf of such Lender or assignee and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by
the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent
is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority, and by the Borrowers with respect to clause
(c) below, (a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due
to the Lenders
hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each
Lender its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders to the Company of any Default
or Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its
agency hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered
by the Company or any other Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as received by the Administrative Agent.
With respect to the Loans
made by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity and not as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights
and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any of the Borrowers or any
of their Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent
shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default
has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise
any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative
Agent is required to exercise upon receipt of notice in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders
as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents,
the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the failure to disclose,
any information relating to any of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the institution serving
as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken
or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall
be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the
Administrative Agent by a Borrower (in which case the Administrative Agent shall give written notice to each other Lender), and the Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made
in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other
terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document
or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere
in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative
Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall
not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any 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
may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents, which may include any
of its branches or affiliates, appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any
and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall
apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities
as the Administrative Agent.
Subject to the appointment
and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying
the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Company (not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and except during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, when no consent
shall be required), to appoint a successor. In addition, if the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender due to it having had a receiver,
conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with the reorganization or liquidation
of its business or custodian appointed for it, the Required Lenders shall have the right, by notice in writing to the Company and the
Administrative Agent, to remove the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and, with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed and except during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, when no consent shall be required),
to appoint a successor. If (a) no successor to a retiring Administrative Agent 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, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an
office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank or (b) no successor to a removed Administrative Agent shall have
been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days following the issuance of a notice of removal, the removal
shall become effective on such 30th day and on such date the Required Lenders shall succeed as Administrative Agent to such
removed Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent,
as the case may be, and such retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After
the Administrative Agent’s
resignation or removal, as the case may be,
hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed
Administrative Agent, as the case may be. its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Each Lender agrees (a) to
reimburse the Administrative Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on the amount of its Loans and available Commitments
hereunder) of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, including counsel fees and compensation
of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, that shall not have been reimbursed by the Company or any
other Borrower and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and any of its Related Parties, on demand, in the
amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against
it in its capacity as Administrative Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the same shall not have
been reimbursed by the Company or any other Borrower; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any
such other indemnified Person for any portion of such liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are determined to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent, and any of its Related Parties or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents.
Each Lender acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
None of the Lenders identified
on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement or elsewhere herein as a “syndication agent” or “documentation
agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable
to all Lenders as such.
Each Lender hereby agrees
that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion
that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment
of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted
to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such
Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender
shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent, may, in its sole
discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such
a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent)
in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount
is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law,
such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, 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 Payments received, including
without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent
to any Lender under this paragraph or the following paragraph shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Each Lender hereby further
agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than,
or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect
to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on
notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case,
or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day
thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent, may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative
Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest
thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment
(or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to
time in effect.
Each Borrower hereby agrees
that in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such erroneous Payment
(or portion thereof) for any reason, (x) the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to
such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower,
except, in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is,
comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower for the purpose of satisfying Obligations.
Each party’s obligations
under the preceding three paragraphs shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights
or
obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender,
the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
Each Lender (x) represents
and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender
party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and
their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any Subsidiary, that at least
one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42)
of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans or the Commitments, (ii) the transaction exemption set
forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional
asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class
exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions
involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers),
is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the
Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager”
(within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of
such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into,
participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections
(b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE
84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans,
the Commitments and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative
Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
In addition, unless sub-clause
(i) in the immediately preceding paragraph is true with respect to a Lender or a Lender has provided another representation, warranty
and covenant as provided in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Lender further (x) represents
and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender
party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and
their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any Subsidiary, that none of
the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender
involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this
Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any
Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto).
The Administrative Agent
and the Arrangers hereby inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give
advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest
in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect
to the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans or the Commitments for an amount
less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees,
arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent
fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees,
processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

IX
Guarantee
In order to induce the Lenders
to extend credit to the other Borrowers hereunder, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor
and not merely as a surety, the payment when and as due of the Obligations of such other Borrowers. The Company further agrees that the
due and punctual payment of such Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from
it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any such Obligation.
The Company waives presentment
to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations
and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (c) any rescission,
waiver, amendment or modification of, or release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
agreement; (d) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations; or (e) any
other act, omission or delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Company or otherwise
operate as a discharge of a guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of the Company to subrogation.
The Company further agrees
that its agreement hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have
stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives
any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit
on the books of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person.
The obligations of the Company
hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject to any
defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of
any of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise.
The Company further agrees
that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part
thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise.
In furtherance of the foregoing
and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have at law or in equity against the Company
by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any other Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity,
by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Company hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in cash an amount equal
to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligations then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
Upon payment by the Company
of any sums as provided above, all rights of the Company against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation
or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the
Obligations owed by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
Nothing shall discharge or
satisfy the liability of the Company hereunder except the full performance and payment of the Obligations.

Notices and other communications to the Borrowers and the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by using an electronic
platform pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant
to Article II unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower

SECTION
10.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other 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 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 Borrower 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 or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b)
Subject to Section 2.12, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived,
amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and the Required Lenders or by
the Company and the Administrative Agent with the consent of 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 Borrowers that are parties thereto, in each
case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce
any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date of any scheduled
payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any 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 affected
thereby (provided that nothing shall limit the right of each Borrower to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.06(f)),
(iv) change Section 2.16(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written
consent of each Lender (it being understood that the addition of new tranches of loans or commitments that may be extended under this
Agreement shall not be deemed to alter such pro rata sharing of payments), (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or 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 (except, in each case, to provide for new tranches of loans or commitments that may be extended under this Agreement),
(vi) release the Company from, or limit or condition, its obligations under Article IX, without the written consent of each
Lender, (vii) change the currency in which Loans may be made without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby or (viii)
change Section 10.17 in any manner without the written consent of each Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution (as defined in
Section 10.17); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
SECTION
10.03. Limitation of Liability; Expenses; Indemnity. (a) To the extent
permitted by applicable law (i) no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby
waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent and any Lender, and any
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related Person”) for any Liabilities
arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including, without
limitation, any personal data) obtained through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet), and (ii)
no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liabilities against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability,
for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with,
or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions,
any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this Section 10.03(a)
shall relieve the Company or any other Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee, as provided in Section 10.03(c),
against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.
(b)
The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Administrative Agent and such Affiliates, in connection
with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights under any Loan Document, including its rights under this Section, or in
connection with the Loans made, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of such Loans.
(c)
The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each
such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, liabilities,
out-of-pocket costs or expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred
by or asserted against any Indemnitee (whether by a third party or by any Borrower) arising out of, in connection with or as a result
of (i) any transaction or proposed transaction (whether or not consummated) in which any proceeds of any Borrowing hereunder are
applied or proposed to be applied, directly or indirectly, by any of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, (ii) any Loan or the use of
the proceeds therefrom or (iii) the execution, delivery or performance by any of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries of the Loan Documents,
or any actions or omissions of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection therewith; provided that such indemnity shall
not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (x) shall be found by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary against an Indemnitee for a material breach in
bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Company or such Borrowing Subsidiary
has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to the effect
that such a material breach in bad faith has occurred. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.15(c), this
Section 10.03(c) shall not apply with respect
to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(d)
To the extent that the Company fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (b)
or (c) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share (determined
as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the
unreimbursed loss, liability, cost or expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent. For purposes
hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum (without duplication) of the
total Exposures and unused Commitments at the time.
(e)
All amounts due under this Section shall be payable within 15 Business Days after receipt by the Company of a reasonably detailed
invoice therefor.
SECTION
10.04. 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 neither the Company nor any Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void).
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective
successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)
Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans or other amounts at the time owing to it); provided that (i) the Administrative
Agent (except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender) and the Company (except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or if an Event of Default has occurred
and, except in the case of an Event of Default under Sections (a), (b), (g) or (h) of Article VII of this Agreement, has been continuing
for 30 days) must each give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of any Lender or an assignment
of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans, the Commitments and outstanding Loans
of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than US$10,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative
Agent otherwise consent, (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of US$3,500 and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; provided further that (x) any consent of the Company
otherwise required under this paragraph shall
not be required if an Event of Default referred to in clause (g), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, (y) the
Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative
Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof and (z) no assignment shall be made to any Person other than an Eligible
Assignee. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) 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 Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 10.03).
Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be
treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph
(e) of this Section. The Borrowers shall not be responsible under Section 2.13 or 2.15 for any increased costs incurred by a Lender as
a result of an assignment under this Section to an Affiliate of such Lender unless such Lender is legally required to make such assignment.
(c)
The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of each Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City
of New York 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 amount 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, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may 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 and
any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)
Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire (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 made in compliance with this Agreement as provided in this paragraph.
(e)
Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees
(a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible
to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the 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 this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that
affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled
to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.
(f)
A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.15 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 so provides and is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits
of Section 2.15 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the
benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.15(f) as though it were a Lender.
(g)
Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other applicable central
bank or, in the case of a Lender that is an investment fund, to the trustee under the indenture to which such fund is a party, 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.
(h)
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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity
of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments or Loans or its other obligations
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that
such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The
entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining
a Participant Register.
SECTION 10.05. Survival. All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein or in any other Loan Document or in the certificates
or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have
been relied upon by the other parties hereto or thereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other
Loan Document and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at
the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest
on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and so long as the
Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 10.03 and 10.12 and Article VIII shall
survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of
the Loans and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.
SECTION
10.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. (a) 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, any separate letter
agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent and any provisions in any commitment letter executed and delivered
by the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby that by the express terms of such commitment letter survive the
execution or effectiveness of this Agreement, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided
in Section 4.01, 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 which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
(b)
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document,
amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 10.01),
certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions
contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy,
emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery
of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any
other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records
in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual
executed signature
page), each of which shall be of the same legal
effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping
system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures
in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without
limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent
and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers without
further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic Signature and (ii) upon
the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers hereby (A) agree that, for all purposes, including without limitation,
in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders, and the Borrowers, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that
reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or
any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (B) agree that the Administrative
Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary
Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s
business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and
shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (C) waive any argument, defense or right to contest
the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on
the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including
with respect to any signature pages thereto and (D) waive any claim against any Lender-Related Person for any Liabilities arising
solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions
by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities
arising as a result of the failure of the Borrowers to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery
or transmission of any Electronic Signature.
SECTION
10.07. 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
10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency
denominated) at any time held and other obligations
at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the obligations
of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall
have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Administrative
Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
SECTION
10.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a)
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
(b)
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern
District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan
Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall
be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c)
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in
any such court.
(d)
Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01.
Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law.
SECTION
10.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT
IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES
THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT,
IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION

or derivative transaction or any credit insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the
Company or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section
of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is aware or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company other than as a result of a breach of this Section of which the Administrative
Agent or such Lender is aware. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from
the Company relating to the Company or its business, other than (i) any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent
or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company other than as a result of a breach of this Section of which
the Administrative Agent or such Lender is aware and (ii) customary information with respect
to the terms of the credit facility established
under this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending
industry. 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 furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement may include material non-public information
concerning the Company and its Related Parties or the Company’s securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures
regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those
procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.
(c)
All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Company, the Subsidiaries or the Administrative
Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public
information about the Company, the Subsidiaries and their Related Parties or the Company’s securities. Accordingly, each Lender
represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who
may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law,
including Federal and state securities laws.
SECTION
10.13. Conversion of Currencies. (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 each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations 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, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify
the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 10.13 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.
SECTION 10.14. Interest Rate
Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with
all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”),
shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or
reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder,
together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and
Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall
be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans shall be increased (but not above the Maximum
Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, shall have been received
by such Lender.
SECTION
10.15. Certain Notices. Each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act
(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation,
it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address
of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act and the
Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Borrower agrees to provide the Lenders, upon request, with all documentation and other information
required to be obtained by the Lenders pursuant to applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations,
including the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
SECTION
10.16. No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Borrower, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with
all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, each Borrower, the Subsidiaries and
their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their 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 Administrative Agent, the Lenders
or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. Each Borrower,
on behalf of itself, the Subsidiaries and its and their respective Affiliates, waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any claims that such Borrower, the Subsidiaries or such Affiliates may have against the Administrative Agent, any Person identified
on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement or elsewhere herein as a “syndication agent” or “documentation
agent”, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing in respect of any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
SECTION
10.17. Acknowledgement of and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding
among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan
Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution
Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

of any such liability, (B) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such
Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and
that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (C) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down

FIVE-YEAR CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of
June 30, 2023 (this “Agreement”), among AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”);
the BORROWING SUBSIDIARIES from time to time party hereto (the Company and the Borrowing Subsidiaries being collectively called the “Borrowers”);
the LENDERS from time to time party hereto; and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent.
The Company has requested that the Lenders (such
term and each other capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein having the meaning assigned to it in Article I) extend credit
in the form of Commitments under which the Borrowers may obtain Loans in US Dollars in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any
time of US$2,250,000,000. The Company has also requested that the Lenders provide (a) a procedure pursuant to which the Borrowers may
invite the Lenders to bid on an uncommitted basis on short-term Loans to the Borrowers and (b) a procedure pursuant to which the Borrowers
may obtain Loans on an uncommitted basis from individual Lenders on terms to be negotiated at the time such Loans are requested. The proceeds
of borrowings hereunder are to be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrowers and their subsidiaries, including the refinancing
of any indebtedness outstanding under the Company’s 364-Day Credit Agreement dated as of July 1, 2022 and its Five-Year Credit Agreement
dated as of June 12, 2019 (together, the “Existing Credit Agreements”) or under the Company’s Five-Year
Credit Agreement dated as of June 9, 2021 (the “2021 Five-Year Credit Agreement”).
The Lenders are willing to establish the credit
facilities referred to in the preceding paragraph upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. Accordingly, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE

Definitions
SECTION
1.01. Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below:
“2021 Five-Year Credit Agreement”

to the Alternate Base Rate.
“Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR”
means an interest rate per annum equal to (a) the Daily Simple SOFR, plus (b) 0.10%; provided that if the Adjusted Daily Simple
SOFR as so determined would be less than the Floor, such rate shall be deemed to be equal to the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement.
“Adjusted Term SOFR Rate” means,
for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum equal to (a) the Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period, plus (b) 0.10%; provided
that if the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate as so determined would be less than the Floor, such rate shall be deemed to be equal to the Floor
for purposes of this Agreement.
“Administrative Agent” means
JPMCB, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder, or any successor in such capacity. Unless the context requires
otherwise, the term “Administrative Agent” shall include any Affiliate of JPMCB through which JPMCB shall perform any of its
obligations in such capacity hereunder.
“Administrative Questionnaire”
means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.
“Affiliate” means, with respect
to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or

meaning assigned to such term in Section 10.13(b).
“Alternate Base Rate” means,
for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the NYFRB Rate in effect
on such day plus ½ of 1% and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one month Interest Period as published two U.S. Government Securities
Business Days prior to such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%; provided
that for the purpose of this definition, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for any day shall be based on the Term SOFR Reference Rate at approximately
5:00 a.m. Chicago time on such day (or any amended publication time for the Term SOFR Reference Rate, as specified by the CME Term SOFR
Administrator in the Term SOFR Reference Rate methodology). Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the
NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the
NYFRB Rate or the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, respectively. If the Alternate Base Rate is being used as an alternate rate of interest pursuant
to Section 2.12 (for the avoidance of doubt, only until the Benchmark Replacement has been determined pursuant to Section 2.12(b)), then
the Alternate Base Rate shall be the greater of clauses (a) and (b) above and shall be determined without reference to clause (c) above.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Alternate Base Rate as determined pursuant to the foregoing would be less than 0.00%, such rate shall
be deemed to be 0.00%.
“Ancillary Document” has the
meaning assigned to such term in Section 10.06(b).
“Anti-Corruption Laws” means
the FCPA and other laws, rules and regulations applicable to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries concerning or relating to bribery or corruption.
“Applicable Rate” means, for
any day, with respect to (a) any commitment fee payable hereunder, the rate per annum set forth below under the caption “Commitment
Fee Rate”, (b) any Term Benchmark Loan hereunder, the rate per annum set forth below under the caption “Term Benchmark Spread”
and (c) any ABR Loan hereunder, the Applicable Rate for Term Benchmark Loans minus 1% per annum (but in no event shall the Applicable
Rate for any ABR Loan be less than 0% per annum), in each case based on the Ratings:
Ratings: |

(basis points) |
Term Benchmark Spread:
(basis points) |
Category 1
Greater than or equal

87.5 |
Category 3
Less than A3 / A- /A- |
10.0 |
112.5 |
For purposes of the foregoing, (a) (i) if three
Ratings are in effect, then either (x) if two of the three Ratings are in the same Category, such Category shall apply or (y) if all three
of the Ratings are in different Categories, then the Category corresponding to the middle Rating shall apply, (ii) if only two Ratings
are in effect or deemed to be in effect, the applicable Category shall be based on the higher of the two Ratings unless the Ratings differ
by two or more Categories, in which case the applicable Category shall be one level above that corresponding to the lower Rating, (iii)
if there is only one Rating in effect, then the applicable Category shall be determined by reference to the actual Rating and a deemed
Category 3 Rating and in accordance with clause (ii) above, and (iv) if no Ratings are in effect then Category 3 shall apply; and (b)
if the Ratings established or deemed to have been established by Fitch, Moody’s and S&P shall be changed (other than as a result
of a change in the rating system of Fitch, Moody’s or S&P), such change shall be effective as of the date on which it is first
publicly announced by Fitch, Moody’s or S&P. Each change in the Applicable Rate on account of a change
in the Ratings shall apply during the period commencing on the date
that is three Business Days after the effective date of such change and ending on the date that is two Business Days after the effective
date of the next such change.
If the rating system of Fitch, Moody’s or
S&P shall change, or if either such rating agency shall cease to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Company
and the Required Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability
of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Commitment Fee Rate and the Term Benchmark
Spread shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.
“Arranger” means each of JPMCB,
BofA Securities, Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., each in its capacity
as joint lead arranger and joint bookrunner for the credit facility established hereunder.

Section 10.04), and accepted by the Administrative Agent, in the form of Exhibit A or any other form approved by the Administrative
Agent.
“Attributable Debt” means,
with respect to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction, the present value (discounted at the rate set forth or implicit in the terms of the
lease included in such Sale and Leaseback Transaction) of the total obligations of the lessee for rental payments (other than amounts
required to be paid on account of taxes, maintenance, repairs, insurance, assessments, utilities, operating and labor costs and other
items which do not constitute payments for property rights) during the remaining term of the lease included in such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction (including any period for which such lease has been extended). In the case of any lease which is terminable by the lessee
upon payment of a penalty, the Attributable Debt shall be the lesser of the Attributable Debt determined assuming termination upon the
first date such lease may be terminated (in which case the Attributable Debt shall also include the amount of the penalty, but no rent
shall be considered as required to be paid under such lease subsequent to the first date upon which it may be so terminated) or the Attributable
Debt determined assuming no such termination.
“Availability Period” means
the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of the Maturity Date and the date of termination of the
Commitments.
“Available Tenor” means, as
of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor for such Benchmark (or component
thereof) or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark (or component thereof), as applicable, that is or
may be used for determining
the length of an Interest Period for any term rate or otherwise,
for determining any frequency of making payments of interest calculated pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including,
for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant
to clause (e) of Section 2.12.
“Bankruptcy Event” means, with
respect to any Person, that such Person becomes the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator,
trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with the reorganization or liquidation of its
business or custodian appointed for it, or, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, has taken any action in furtherance
of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment, provided that a Bankruptcy Event
shall not result solely by virtue of any ownership interest, or the acquisition of any ownership interest, in such Person by a Governmental
Authority or instrumentality thereof. If, however, such ownership interest results in or provides such Person with immunity from the jurisdiction
of courts within the United States or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permits such Person (or
such Governmental Authority or instrumentality) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made by such Person,
such ownership interest will constitute a Bankruptcy Event. Nothing in this definition or elsewhere in this Agreement shall require any
Person to disclose any information that it would be prohibited from disclosing under applicable law or regulation.
“Benchmark” means, initially,
with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan, the Term SOFR Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event, and the related Benchmark
Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the Term SOFR Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the
applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause
(b) of Section 2.12.
“Benchmark Replacement” means,
for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the
applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:
(1) the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR; or
(2) the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate
that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Company as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable
Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for
determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a
benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for US Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time in
the United States and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment.
If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant
to clause (1) or (2) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment”
means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest
Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating
or determining such spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), that has been selected by the Administrative
Agent and the Company for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread
adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable
Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and/or (ii) any evolving
or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment,
for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for US Dollar-denominated syndicated credit
facilities at such time.
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes”
means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement and/or any Term Benchmark Loan, any technical, administrative or operational changes
(including changes to the definition of “Alternate Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition
of “U.S. Government Securities Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining
rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback
periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative
Agent, in consultation with the Company, reasonably determines may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark
and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if
the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or
if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark exists, in such other
manner of administration as the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Company, reasonably determines is reasonably necessary
in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).
“Benchmark Replacement Date”
means, with respect to any Benchmark, the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:
(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition
of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of
information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator
of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available
Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition
of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation
thereof) has been or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or component thereof) have been determined
and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative;
provided, that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such
clause (3) and even if such Benchmark (or component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark
(or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving
rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination,
the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark
Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence
of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published
component used in the calculation thereof).
“Benchmark Transition Event”
means, with respect to any Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to such then-current Benchmark:
(1) a public statement or publication of information
by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such
administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely,
provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Benchmark
(or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
(2) a public statement or publication of information
by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the
Federal Reserve Board, the NYFRB, the CME Term SOFR Administrator, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for
such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component)
or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or
such component), in each case, which states that the administrator
of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark
is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the
time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Benchmark (or such component
thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(3) a public statement or publication of information
by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing
that such Benchmark (or such component thereof) or, if such Benchmark is a term rate, all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such
component thereof) are no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative.
For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark
Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information
set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the
calculation thereof).
“Benchmark Unavailability Period”
means, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses
(1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all
purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.12 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement

Loans to the Company and
the Borrowing Subsidiaries from time to time during the Availability
Period in US Dollars in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) such Lender’s Revolving
Loan Exposure exceeding its Commitment or (ii) the aggregate Exposures exceeding the aggregate Commitments.
SECTION
2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made
by the Lenders (or their Affiliates as provided in paragraph (b) below) ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. Each
Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04. Each Contract Loan shall be made in accordance
with the procedures set forth in paragraph (e) below. 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; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be
responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required hereunder.
(b)
Subject to Section 2.12, (i) each Revolving Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Term Benchmark Loans or ABR Loans as
the applicable Borrower may request in accordance herewith and (ii) each Competitive Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Term Benchmark
Loans or Fixed Rate Loans, as the applicable Borrower 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 (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions
of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender); provided that any
exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be responsible under Section 2.13 or 2.15
for any increased costs incurred by a Lender as a result of a change in the location from which such Lender makes Loans unless such Lender
is legally required to make such change.
(c)
At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Borrowing (other than a Borrowing comprised of Competitive Loans or Contract
Loans), such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is at least equal to the Borrowing Minimum and an integral multiple of the
Borrowing Multiple; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be made in an aggregate amount that is equal to the aggregate available
Commitments. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Borrower shall be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue,
any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.
(e)
At any time, any Borrower and any Lender may agree that such Lender will make a Loan (a “Contract Loan”) to
the Borrower denominated in US
Dollars and bearing interest at an agreed upon rate, for an interest
period to be agreed upon and upon such other terms as the applicable Borrower and Lender may agree (it being understood that a Contract
Loan shall not be required to be in any particular minimum amount); provided, that, (i) after giving effect to the making of any
such Contract Loan, the aggregate Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments and (ii) no such Loan shall be a Contract Loan
unless the relevant Borrower and the applicable Lender expressly agree at the time such Loan is made, and notify the Administrative Agent,
that such Loan shall be a Contract Loan for purposes of this Agreement. If the applicable Borrower and Lender shall, after any Contract
Loan is made, agree that such Contract Loan shall no longer be a Contract Loan hereunder and shall notify the Administrative Agent of
such agreement, such Loan shall, as of the date of such agreement, cease to be a Contract Loan or to be entitled to any further benefits
under this Agreement. Contract Loans shall be deemed Loans for all purposes under this Agreement. Each Borrower and Lender shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent of (i) the date, principal amount, maturity, interest rate, Interest Period and Interest Payment Dates
of each Contract Loan made by such Lender to such Borrower and (ii) the date and amount of any repayment or prepayment of any such Contract
Loan.

(c)
The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company by telecopy of the Competitive Bid Rate and the principal amount specified
in each Competitive Bid and the identity of the Lender that shall have made such Competitive Bid.
(d)
Subject only to the provisions of this paragraph, the applicable Borrower may accept or reject any Competitive Bid. The Borrower
shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone, confirmed by telecopy in a form approved by the Administrative Agent, whether and
to what extent it has decided to accept or reject each Competitive Bid, (i) in the case of a Term Benchmark Competitive Borrowing,

case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing;
provided that (i) the failure of the Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each Competitive Bid,

Bid made at a lower Competitive Bid Rate, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the Borrower shall not exceed
the aggregate amount of the requested Competitive Borrowing specified in the related Competitive Bid Request and (iv) to the extent
necessary to comply with clause (iii) above, the Borrower may accept Competitive Bids at the same Competitive Bid Rate in part, which
acceptance, in the case of multiple Competitive Bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount
of each such Competitive Bid; provided further that in
calculating the pro rata allocation of acceptances of portions of
multiple Competitive Bids at a particular Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to clause (iv) the amounts shall be rounded to integral multiples
of the Borrowing Multiple in a manner determined by the Borrower. A notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph shall be irrevocable.
(e)
The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each bidding Lender by telecopy whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted
(and, if so, the amount and Competitive Bid Rate so accepted), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted.
(f)
If the Administrative Agent or one of its Affiliates shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall
submit such Competitive Bid directly to the applicable Borrower at least one quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other
Lenders are required to submit their Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.
SECTION
2.05. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan (other than a Contract Loan) to be made by it hereunder
on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time (or if later, in the
case of an ABR Borrowing, one hour after the Lenders shall have been notified of the applicable Borrowing Request), to the account of
the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the relevant Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts
so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower maintained by the Administrative Agent (or another account specified by such
Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request) in New York City. Each Lender shall make each Contract Loan to be made by it hereunder on
the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by the time and to the account agreed upon by the relevant Borrower
and the applicable Lender.
(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 upon
such assumption, make available to the relevant 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, and the Administrative Agent has made an amount corresponding to such
share available to such Borrower, then the applicable Lender and such Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith
on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such
Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the rate
reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost
to it of funding such amount or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the subject Loan. If such Lender
pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing and
the Administrative Agent shall return to such Borrower any amount (including interest) paid by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this paragraph.
SECTION
2.06. Repayment of Borrowings; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders (i) the then unpaid principal amount of the Loans comprising each Borrowing of such Borrower
on the Maturity Date and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the applicable Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Contract
Loan on the date or dates agreed by such Borrower and such Lender.
(b)
Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the obligations of each Borrower
to such Lender resulting from the Loans made by such Lender.
(c)
The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Borrowing made hereunder,
the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder for the accounts 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 any Borrower to repay the Loans
made to it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e)
Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it to any Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note if it is the policy
of such Lender to obtain promissory notes in transactions comparable to those provided for herein or if such Lender has another business
reason for requesting such a promissory note. In such event, each applicable Borrower shall prepare, 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) in
the form of Exhibit C hereto. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by each such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including
after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of
the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a)
Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing,
shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. After the initial Revolving Borrowings, the Borrowers may
elect to convert and continue such Revolving Borrowings to or as other Revolving Borrowings as provided in this Section. The Borrowers
may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowings, in which case each such portion shall be allocated
ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowings and any Loans resulting from an election made with respect to
any such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, no Borrowing may be converted
into or continued as a Borrowing with an Interest Period ending after the Maturity Date. This Section shall not apply to Competitive
Loans or to Contract Loans, which may not be converted or continued.
(b)
To make an election pursuant to this Section, a Borrower, or the Company on its behalf, shall notify the Administrative Agent of
such election by telephone in the case of an election that would result in a Borrowing, by the time and date that a Borrowing Request
would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be
made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed
promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative
Agent and signed by the relevant Borrower, or the Company on its behalf. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, this Section shall
not be construed to permit any Borrower to elect an Interest Period for Term Benchmark Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d).
(c)
Each telephonic 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 a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing is elected; and
(iv)
in the case of an election of a Term Benchmark 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”;
provided that no Term Benchmark Borrowing may be elected
with an Interest Period that would extend after the Maturity Date.
If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark
Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration.
(d)
Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof
and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)
If the relevant Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to
the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest
Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing.
(f)
The conversion or continuation of any Borrowing shall not constitute a repayment of amounts outstanding or a new advance of funds
hereunder.
SECTION
2.08. Termination, Reduction, Increase and Extension of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall
terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b)
The Company may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of
the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum and
(ii) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance
with Section 2.09, the Revolving Loan Exposure of any Lender would exceed its Commitment or the aggregate Exposures would exceed
the aggregate Commitments.
(c)
The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b)
of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying the effective date
of such election. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.
Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the
Commitments delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which
case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if
such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments
shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(d)
(i) The Company may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and executed by the Company and one
or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this paragraph (d) being called an “Increasing
Lender”), which may include any Lender, cause new Commitments to be extended by the Increasing Lenders (or cause the existing
Commitments of the Increasing Lenders to be increased, as the case may be) in amounts set forth in such notice not to be less than (A)
$10,000,000 for each Increasing Lender and (B) $25,000,000 for all Increasing Lenders under each such notice; provided that (x)
at no time shall the aggregate amount of all extensions of new Commitments and increases in existing Commitments effected pursuant to
this paragraph (d) exceed $500,000,000, (y) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval
of the Administrative Agent and the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (z) each Increasing
Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to
evidence the Commitment of such Increasing Lender and/or its status as a Lender hereunder. The decision of any Lender to increase its
Commitment shall be at the sole discretion of such Lender.
(ii)
Extensions of new Commitments and increases in existing Commitments pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall become effective on the
date specified in the applicable notice delivered by the Company pursuant to subparagraph (i) above. Upon the effectiveness of such extensions
of new Commitments and/or increases in existing Commitments, (A) each Increasing Lender not already a Lender hereunder shall be deemed
to be a party to this Agreement and shall thereafter be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Lender hereunder and
subject to all obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the new Commitment
or increase in Commitment, as applicable, of each Increasing Lender as set forth in the applicable notice delivered by the Company.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in any Commitment of any Lender) or extension of new Commitments
hereunder shall become effective under this paragraph (d) unless (A) on the date of such increase or extension, the conditions set forth
in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (without giving effect to the parenthetical in such paragraph (a)) and the
Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Company
and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(b) and (c) as
to the corporate power and authority of the Borrowers to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase or extension.
(iv)
On the effective date of any extension of a new Commitment or increase in an existing Commitment pursuant to this paragraph (d),
(A) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding (the “Initial Loans”) immediately prior to giving
effect to such extension or increase shall be deemed to be repaid, (B) after
the effectiveness of such extension or increase, the Borrowers shall
be deemed to have made new Revolving Borrowings (the “Subsequent Borrowings”) in an aggregate principal amount equal
to the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Loans and of the Types and for the Interest Periods specified in a Borrowing Request
delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.03, (C) each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day
funds an amount equal to the difference, if positive, between (x) such Lender’s Percentage (calculated after giving effect to any
such extension or increase) of the Subsequent Borrowings and (y) such Lender’s Percentage (calculated without giving effect to any
such extension or increase) of the Initial Loans, (D) after the Administrative Agent receives the funds specified in clause (C) above,
the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender the portion of such funds that is equal to the difference, if positive, between (x)
such Lender’s Percentage (calculated without giving effect to any such extension or increase) of the Initial Loans and (y) such
Lender’s Percentage (calculated after giving effect to any such extension or increase) of the amount of the Subsequent Borrowings,
(E) each Lender shall be deemed to hold its Percentage of each Subsequent Borrowing (each calculated after giving effect to any such extension
or increase) and (F) each applicable Borrower shall pay each Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Initial Loans. The
deemed payments made pursuant to clause (A) above in respect of each Term Benchmark Loan shall be subject to the provisions of Section
2.14 if the effective date of the extension of or increase in Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.08(d) occurs other than on the last
day of the Interest Period relating thereto and breakage costs result.
(e)
The Company may, from time to time and by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each
of the Lenders) given not fewer than 30 days and not more than 120 days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date, request that
the Lenders extend the Maturity Date and the Commitments for an additional period of one year (the date of any such request being called
the “Request Date”). Each Lender shall, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent given not later than
the 20th day after the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Company’s extension request, advise the Company whether
or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Lender agreeing to a requested extension being called a “Consenting Lender”
and each Lender declining to agree to a requested extension being called a “Declining Lender”). Any Lender that has
not so advised the Company and the Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall
be a Declining Lender. If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall have agreed to an extension request, then the Maturity Date
shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended to the first anniversary of the Maturity Date theretofore in effect. The decision of
any Lender to agree or withhold agreement to any extension request shall be at the sole discretion of such Lender. The Commitment of any
Declining Lender shall terminate on the Maturity Date for such Lender in effect immediately prior to giving effect to any such extension
(such Maturity Date being called the “Existing Maturity Date”). The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made
by Declining Lenders, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other
amounts payable to or for the accounts of such Declining Lenders
hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Existing Maturity Date, and on the Existing Maturity Date, each Borrower shall also make such
other prepayments of its Loans as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitments of, and all
payments to, Declining Lenders pursuant to this sentence, the aggregate Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Company shall have the right, pursuant to Section 2.17(b), at any time prior to the Existing
Maturity Date, to replace any Declining Lender with a Lender or other financial institution that will agree to a request for the extension
of the Maturity Date, and any such replacement Lender shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
no extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective unless (i) on the date of such increase or extension,
the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (without giving effect to the parenthetical in such
paragraph (a)) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by the President,
a Vice President, or a Financial Officer of the Company and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with
those delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(b) and (c) as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrowers to borrow hereunder after
giving effect to such extension.
SECTION
2.09. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Any Borrower, or the Company on behalf of any Borrower, shall have the right at any time
and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing of such Borrower in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph
(d) of this Section; provided that, unless the applicable Borrowers and Lenders shall have otherwise agreed at the time such Loans
were made, Competitive Loans or Contract Loans may be prepaid only with the consent of the Lenders making such Loans.
(b)
If the aggregate Exposures shall exceed the aggregate Commitments, then (i) on the last day of any Interest Period for any Term
Benchmark Borrowing, and (ii) on any other date in the event ABR Borrowings shall be outstanding, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay
Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount necessary to eliminate such excess (after giving effect to any other prepayment
of Loans on such day) and (B) the amount of the applicable Borrowings referred to in clause (i) or (ii), as applicable.
(c)
Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings
to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section.
(d)
The applicable Borrower, or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone
(confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment of a Borrowing hereunder (i) in the case of a Term Benchmark
Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business
Days before the date of such prepayment and (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time,
one Business Day before the date of such 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; provided that, if a notice of optional prepayment is given
in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08(c), then such notice of
prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08(c). 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.
Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied
by (i) accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11 and (ii) break funding payments pursuant to Section 2.14.
SECTION
2.10. Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent in US Dollars for the account of each Lender (except,
in the case of any Defaulting Lender, as provided in Section 2.19), a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the
daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on
which such Commitment terminates. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the fifteenth day after the last day of March,
June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof, and on the date on which
the Commitments terminate. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual
number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Commitment of
a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Loans of such Lender.
(b)
The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately
agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agent.
(c)
All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution,
in the case of commitment fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
SECTION
2.11. 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 Term Benchmark Borrowing shall bear interest (i) in the case of a Revolving Borrowing, at the Adjusted
Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate, or (ii) in the
case of a Term Benchmark Competitive Loan, at the Adjusted Term
SOFR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus (or minus, as applicable) the Margin applicable to such Loan.
(c)
Each Fixed Rate Loan shall bear interest at the Fixed Rate applicable to such Loan.
(d)
Each Contract Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum agreed upon between the applicable Borrower and Lender.
(e)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee payable by any Borrower hereunder is not
paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount 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, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable
to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section and (ii) in the case of any other amount payable, 2% per annum plus
the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) above.
(f)
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 (e) above shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan
(other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), 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 Term Benchmark
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.
(g)
All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to
the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365
days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day
but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted Term SOFR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent,
and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION
2.12. Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 2.12, if:
(i)
the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement
of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term
SOFR Rate (including because the
Term SOFR Reference Rate is not available or published on
a current basis) for such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted
Daily Simple SOFR; or
(ii)
the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or in the case of a Term Benchmark Competitive Loan, the Lender that
is required to make such Loan) that would participate in such Borrowing that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for
a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period or (B) at any
time, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining
their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the applicable
Borrower and the applicable Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent
notifies the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect
to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.07 or
a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any
Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Borrowing Request that requests a Term Benchmark
Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for (x) an Adjusted Daily
Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.12(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR
Borrowing if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.12(a)(i) or (ii) above; provided that (x) if the circumstances
giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the applicable Borrower for Term Benchmark Competitive Borrowings
may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings,
then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Loan is outstanding
on the date of the applicable Borrower’s receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.12(a)
with respect to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies
the applicable Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the
relevant Benchmark and (y) the applicable Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.07
or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative
Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR
Borrowing so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the
subject of Section 2.12(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.12(a)(i)
or (ii) above, on such day and (2) any Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent
to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan.
(b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x)
if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) 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 (2) 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 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.
(c)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in
consultation with the Company, to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective
without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(d)
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event,
(ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (1) the
removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (2) 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 2.12, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the
occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection,
will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent
from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.12.
(e)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation
of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate) and either (A) any tenor
for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by
the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided
a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative,
then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time
to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is
subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no
longer, subject to an announcement that it is 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.
(f)
Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any
request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during
any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Company will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing
into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is
not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition
Event. During any 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. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Loan is
outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect
to the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR, as applicable, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement is implemented
pursuant to this Section 2.12, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the
next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x)
an Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR Loan so long as Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an
ABR Loan if Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR
Loan shall on
and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and
shall constitute, an ABR Loan.
SECTION
2.13. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law or the applicability of any Statutory Reserves 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 offshore interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Term Benchmark
Loans made by such Lender or participations therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the
cost to such Lender of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Term Benchmark Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to
make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest
or otherwise), then the Company will pay or cause the other Borrowers to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)
If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement or the 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 capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Company will pay or cause the other Borrowers
to pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)
Each Lender shall determine the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, as
the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section using the methods customarily used by it for such purpose (and
if such Lender uses more than one such method, the method used hereunder shall be that which most accurately determines such amount or
amounts). A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and an explanation in reasonable detail of the
method and calculations by which such amount shall have been determined, shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Company shall pay or
cause the other Borrowers to pay to 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 Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant
to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred 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 delivers a certificate with respect thereto as provided in
paragraph (c) above; 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
2.14. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan or Fixed Rate
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 Term Benchmark Loan to a Loan of a different Type or Interest Period 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 2.09(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the
assignment or deemed assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan or Fixed Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall
compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount
or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations used
by such Lender to determine such amount or amounts, shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt
thereof.
SECTION
2.15. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any Borrower in respect of any Obligation hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that
if any Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall
be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the
full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b)
In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c)
The relevant Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 15 Business Days after written demand therefor,
for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or
with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and 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 setting forth in reasonable
detail the circumstances giving rise thereto and the calculations used by such Lender to determine the amount thereof delivered to the
Company 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)
As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.
(e)
Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for (i) any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only
to the extent that the relevant Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting
the obligation of the relevant Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure
to comply with the provisions of Section 10.04(h) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in each case that are paid or
payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any penalties, interest and 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.
The indemnity under this paragraph (e) shall be paid within 15 Business Days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable
Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive
of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.
(f)
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in
which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall
deliver to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the
time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed
and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company as will permit such payments to be made
without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender has received written notice from the Company advising it of
the availability of such exemption or reduction and containing all applicable documentation.
(ii) If a payment made to a Lender under
any Loan Document would be subject to United States 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 Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested
by the Withholding 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 Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent
to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations
under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.15(f)(ii),
“FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
SECTION
2.16. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Except as agreed by the relevant Borrower and the
applicable Lenders with respect to Contract Loans, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under
any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15, or otherwise)
prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any
amounts received after such time (or any other applicable time agreed by the relevant Borrower and the applicable Lenders with respect
to Contract Loans) 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 the Administrative Agent to the applicable
account specified in Schedule 2.16 for the account of the applicable Lenders or, in any such case, to such other account as the Administrative
Agent shall from time to time specify in a notice delivered to the Company and the applicable Borrower; provided that payments
to the applicable Lenders in respect of Contract Loans and payments pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 10.03 shall be made
directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein
(it being agreed that the Borrowers will be deemed to have satisfied their obligations with respect to payments referred to in this proviso
if they shall make such payments to the persons entitled thereto in accordance with instructions provided by the Administrative Agent;
the Administrative Agent agrees to provide such instructions upon request, and no Borrower will be deemed
to have failed to make such a payment if it shall transfer such
payment to an improper account or address as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to provide proper instructions). The
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any Lender or other Person promptly, in accordance
with customary banking practices, following receipt thereof at the appropriate lending office or other address specified by such Lender
or other Person. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period
of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in US Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder
shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary
steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the
Administrative Agent to make such payment.
(b)
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal
of or interest on 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, 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 their Loans and accrued interest thereon; provided
that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph
shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement
or 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, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).
Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring
a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off 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. Any purchaser
of a participation under this paragraph shall have the benefit of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 with respect to the participation purchased,
but shall not be deemed by virtue of such purchase to have extended any Commitment that it had not extended prior to such purchase.
(c)
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the relevant Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is
due for the account of all or certain of the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such
date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the applicable Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment,
then each of the applicable 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 a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry practices
on interbank compensation.
(d)
If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement,
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received
by it for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Administrative Agent until all such unsatisfied
obligations are fully paid.
SECTION
2.17. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or
if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall consult with the Company regarding any actions that could be taken to reduce amounts
payable under such Sections and the costs of taking such actions and shall, at the request of the Company following such consultations,
use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.15, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would
not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Company hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable, direct, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation
or assignment.
(b)
If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, (ii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to
any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, (iv) any Lender delivers a Notice of Illegality pursuant to Section 2.18 or (v) any Lender is a Declining Lender, then the Company
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 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations
under the Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts
such assignment); provided that (A) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (B) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee or the
Company, (C) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the delivery of a Notice of Illegality under Section 2.18,
it shall not be unlawful under Federal or applicable state or foreign law for the assignee to make Loans or otherwise extend credit to
or do business with the Subsidiary in respect of which such Notice of Illegality was delivered and (D) in the case of any such assignment
and delegation resulting from the status of a Lender as a Declining Lender, the assignee shall have agreed to the extended Maturity Date
resulting from the applicable extension request. 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, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.
SECTION
2.18. Designation of Borrowing Subsidiaries. The Company may at any time and from time to time designate any Subsidiary
as a Borrowing Subsidiary by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and
the Company. As soon as practicable upon receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will post a copy of such Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement
to the Lenders. Each Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement shall become effective on the date five Business Days after it has been posted by
the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (subject to the receipt by any Lender of any information reasonably requested by it not later
than the third Business Day after the posting of such Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement under the Patriot Act or other “know-your-customer”
laws including, to the extent such Subsidiary qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation,
a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Subsidiary), unless prior thereto the Administrative Agent shall have received
written notice from any Lender that it shall be unlawful under Federal or applicable state or foreign law or prohibited under such Lender’s
bona fide internal policies of general applicability for such Lender to make Loans or otherwise extend credit to or do business with such
Subsidiary (a “Notice of Illegality”), in which case such Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement shall not become effective
until such time as such Lender withdraws such Notice of Illegality or ceases to be a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 2.17(b). Upon
the effectiveness of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement as provided in the preceding sentence, the applicable Subsidiary shall for all purposes
of this Agreement be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement until the Company shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative
Agent a Borrowing Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Subsidiary, whereupon such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary
and a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to
any Borrowing Subsidiary at a time when any principal of or interest on any Loan to such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be outstanding hereunder,
provided that such Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to terminate the right of such Borrowing Subsidiary to make
further Borrowings under this Agreement. As soon as practicable
upon receipt of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the Administrative
Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Lender.
SECTION
2.19. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then (i) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section
2.10(a); and (ii) the Commitment and Revolving Loan Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded for purposes of any determination
of whether the Required Lenders or other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment,
waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent
of all Lenders or each affected Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
(b)
In the event that the Administrative Agent and the Company shall agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters
that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall fund its Loan to each Borrower or purchase at par
Loans of the other Lenders (other than Competitive Loans), in each case as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in
order for such Lender to hold such Loans ratably in accordance with its Commitment. Such Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender
upon remedying all matters to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting
Lender, including the funding of any Loan or the closing of the purchase of any Loan necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans
ratably in accordance with its Commitment.

Lien shall secure only those obligations which it secures on the date of such acquisition or the date such Person becomes a Subsidiary,
as the case may be, and extensions, renewals and replacements thereof that do not increase the outstanding principal amount thereof;
(d)
Liens on fixed or capital assets acquired, constructed or improved by the Company or any Subsidiary; provided that (i) such
Liens and the Indebtedness secured thereby are incurred prior to or within 90 days after such acquisition or

Indebtedness secured thereby does not exceed the cost of acquiring, constructing or improving such fixed or capital assets and (iii) such
security interests shall not apply to any other property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary;
(e)
Liens on securities deemed to exist under repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements entered into by the Company and
the Subsidiaries; and
(f)
other Liens not expressly permitted by clauses (a) through (e) above; provided that the sum of (i) the aggregate principal
amount of outstanding obligations secured by Liens permitted under this clause (f) and (ii) the Attributable Debt permitted by Section

sells accounts receivable as being secured by a Lien for purposes of this Section 6.01(f).
SECTION
6.02. Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into

other Sale and Leaseback Transactions; provided that the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding obligations
secured by Liens permitted by Section 6.01(f) and (ii) the aggregate Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions permitted
by this clause (b) does not at any time exceed 25% of Consolidated Net Worth.

or permit any other Person to merge into or consolidate with it, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (in one transaction
or in a series of transactions and including by means of any merger or sale of capital stock or otherwise) all or substantially all of
its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired), or liquidate or dissolve, except that, if at the time thereof and immediately after
giving effect thereto no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such transaction, the Company or any Borrower
may merge or consolidate with any Person if (a) the Company or such Borrower, as the case may be, is the surviving Person or (b) the surviving
Person (i) is organized under the laws of The United States of America or, in the case of a merger or consolidation of a Borrower other
than the Company, the jurisdiction of organization of such Borrower, and (ii) assumes in writing all of the Company’s or such Borrower’s
obligations under this Agreement pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such

of the assumption contained in such documentation.

ARTICLE
VIII
The Administrative Agent
In order to expedite the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, the Person named in the heading of this Agreement is hereby appointed to act as Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders. Each of the Lenders and each assignee of any Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions
on behalf of such Lender or assignee and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan
Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent is hereby expressly authorized
by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority, and by the Borrowers with respect to clause (c) below, (a) to receive
on behalf of the Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due to the Lenders hereunder, and
promptly to distribute to each Lender its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf of each of the Lenders
to the Company of any Default or Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge acquired
in connection with its agency hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial statements and other
materials delivered by the Company or any other Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as received by the Administrative
Agent.
With respect to the Loans made by it hereunder,
the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity and not as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers as any other
Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or other
Affiliates thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties
or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the
Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers,
except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise
upon receipt of notice in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under
the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and the
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of the Borrowers or any of their
Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the institution serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any
capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower (in which case the Administrative
Agent shall give written notice to each other Lender), and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents
of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the
performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may
rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any
liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any 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 may perform any and all
its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents, which may include any of its branches or affiliates,
appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise
its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to
any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative
Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a
successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders
and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Company (not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and except during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, when no consent
shall be required), to appoint a successor. In addition, if the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender due to it having had a receiver,
conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with the reorganization or liquidation
of its business or custodian appointed for it, the Required Lenders shall have the right, by notice in writing to the Company and the
Administrative Agent, to remove the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and, with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed and except during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, when no consent shall be required),
to appoint a successor. If (a) no successor to a retiring Administrative Agent 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, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an
office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank or (b) no successor to a removed Administrative Agent shall have
been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days following the issuance of a notice of removal, the removal
shall become effective on such 30th day and on such date the Required Lenders shall succeed as Administrative Agent to such
removed Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent,
as the case may be, and such retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After
the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, as the case may be, hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, as the case may be. its sub-agents and their
respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative
Agent.
Each Lender agrees (a) to reimburse the Administrative
Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on the amount of its Loans and available Commitments hereunder) of any expenses
incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, including counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid
for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, that shall not have been reimbursed by the Company or any other Borrower and (b) to
indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and any of its Related Parties, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share,
from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as Administrative
Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or action taken or omitted by
it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the same shall
not have been reimbursed by the Company or any other Borrower; provided
that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any such other indemnified Person for any portion of such liabilities, taxes,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are determined to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, and any of its Related Parties or any of their respective
directors, officers, employees or agents.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
None of the Lenders identified on the facing page
or signature pages of this Agreement or elsewhere herein as a “syndication agent” or “documentation agent” shall
have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as
such.
Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative
Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such
Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees
or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not
known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later
than one Business Day thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent, may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return
to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds,
together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including
the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at
the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby
waives, as to the Administrative Agent, 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 Payments received, including without limitation any defense based
on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this paragraph
or the following paragraph shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives
a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from,
that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment
Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an
error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a
Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence
and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later
date as the Administrative Agent, may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any
such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon (except to the
extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof)
was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
Each Borrower hereby agrees that in the event
an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such erroneous Payment (or portion thereof)
for any reason, (x) the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y)
an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower, except, in each
case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds
received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower for the purpose of satisfying Obligations.
Each party’s obligations under the preceding
three paragraphs shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by,
or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under
any Loan Document.
Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of
the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the
date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates,
and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any Subsidiary that at least one of the following is and
will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one
or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans or the Commitments, (ii) the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such
as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for
certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional
asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class
exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions
involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers),
is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the
Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager”
(within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of
such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into,
participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections
(b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE
84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans,
the Commitments and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative
Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately
preceding paragraph is true with respect to a Lender or a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided
in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the
date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date
such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates,
and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any Subsidiary that none of the Administrative Agent, the
Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s
entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection
with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related
to hereto or thereto).
The Administrative Agent and the Arrangers hereby
inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity,
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated
hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Commitments
and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid
for an interest in the Loans or the Commitments by such Lender or
(iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility
fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum
usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees, deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums,
banker’s acceptance fees, breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.

IX
Guarantee
In order to induce the Lenders to extend credit
to the other Borrowers hereunder, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as
a surety, the payment when and as due of the Obligations of such other Borrowers. The Company further agrees that the due and punctual
payment of such Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it
will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any such Obligation.
The Company waives presentment to, demand of payment
from and protest to any Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations and notice of protest
for nonpayment. The obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment
or modification of, or release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreement; (d) any
default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations; or (e) any other act, omission or
delay to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Company or otherwise operate as a discharge
of a guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of the Company to subrogation.
The Company further agrees that its agreement
hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have stayed the accrual
or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives any right to require
that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person.
The obligations of the Company hereunder shall
not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be subject
to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance
of any of the Obligations or otherwise.
The Company further agrees that its obligations
hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation
is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower
or otherwise.
In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation
of any other right which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have at law or in equity against the Company by virtue hereof, upon
the failure of any other Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after
notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Company hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in cash an amount equal to the unpaid
principal amount of such Obligations then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
Upon payment by the Company of any sums as provided
above, all rights of the Company against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation or otherwise shall in
all respects be subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations owed by such
Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability
of the Company hereunder except the full performance and payment of the Obligations.

address therefor; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, if such notice, email or other communication is not sent
during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business
on the next Business Day for the recipient.
SECTION
10.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or
power hereunder or under any other 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 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 Borrower
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 or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b)
Subject to Section 2.12, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived,
amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and the Required Lenders or by
the Company and the Administrative Agent with the consent of 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 Borrowers that are parties thereto, in each
case with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce
any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date of any scheduled
payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any 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 affected
thereby (provided that nothing shall limit the right of each Borrower to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 2.08(e)),
(iv) change Section 2.16(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the
written consent of each Lender (it being understood that the addition of new tranches of loans or commitments that may be extended under
this Agreement shall not be deemed to alter such pro rata sharing of payments), (v) change any of the provisions of this Section
or 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 (except, in each case, to provide for new tranches of loans or commitments that may be extended under this
Agreement), (vi) release the Company from, or limit or condition, its obligations under Article IX, without the written consent
of each Lender, (vii) change the currency in which Loans may be made without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby or (viii)
change Section 10.17 in any manner without the written consent of each Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution (as defined in
Section 10.17); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative
Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything
else in this
Section to the contrary, any amendment of the definition of Applicable
Rate pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of that definition in Section 1.01 of this Agreement shall not require the written consent
of each Lender affected thereby, but shall require the written consent of the Company and the Required Lenders.
SECTION
10.03. Limitation of Liability; Expenses; Indemnity. (a) To the extent permitted by applicable law (i) no Borrower shall
assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation
Agent and any Lender, and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a “Lender-Related
Person”) for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including, without limitation,
any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet),
and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liabilities against any other party hereto, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions,
any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this Section 10.03(a) shall relieve the Company or any other
Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee, as provided in Section 10.03(c), against any special, indirect, consequential
or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.
(b)
The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Administrative Agent and such Affiliates, in connection
with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights under any Loan Document, including its rights under this Section, or in
connection with the Loans made, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of such Loans.
(c)
The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each
such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, liabilities,
out-of-pocket costs or expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred
by or asserted against any Indemnitee (whether by a third party or by any Borrower) arising out of, in connection
with or as a result of (i) any transaction or proposed transaction
(whether or not consummated) in which any proceeds of any Borrowing hereunder are applied or proposed to be applied, directly or indirectly,
by any of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom or (iii) the execution, delivery or
performance by any of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries of the Loan Documents, or any actions or omissions of a Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries in connection therewith; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent
that such losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (x) shall be found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Company
or any Borrowing Subsidiary against an Indemnitee for a material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder
or under any other Loan Document, if the Company or such Borrowing Subsidiary has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor
on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to the effect that such a material breach in bad faith has occurred.
Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.15(c), this Section 10.03(c) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that
represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(d)
To the extent that the Company fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (b)
or (c) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share (determined
as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the
unreimbursed loss, liability, cost or expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent. For purposes
hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum (without duplication) of the
total Exposures and unused Commitments at the time.
(e)
All amounts due under this Section shall be payable within 15 Business Days after receipt by the Company of a reasonably detailed
invoice therefor.
SECTION
10.04. 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 neither the Company nor any Borrower may assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment
or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed
to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)
Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans or other amounts at the time owing to it); provided that (i) the Administrative
Agent (except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender) and the Company (except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or if an Event of Default has occurred
and, except in the case of an Event of Default under Sections (a), (b), (g) or (h) of Article VII of this Agreement, has been continuing
for 30 days) must each give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of any Lender or an assignment
of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans, the Commitments and outstanding Loans
of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than US$10,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative
Agent otherwise consent, (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of US$3,500 and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; provided further that (x) any consent of the Company otherwise
required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default referred to in clause (g), (h) or (i) of Article VII has
occurred and is continuing, (y) the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by
written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof and (z) no assignment shall be
made to any Person other than an Eligible Assignee. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) 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 Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such
rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. The Borrowers shall not be responsible under Section 2.13 or
2.15 for any increased costs incurred by a Lender as a result of an assignment under this Section to an Affiliate of such Lender unless
such Lender is legally required to make such assignment.
(c)
The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of each Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City
of New York 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 amount 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, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may 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 and
any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)
Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire (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 made in compliance with this Agreement as provided in this paragraph.
(e)
Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees
(a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this
Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance
of such obligations and (iii) the 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 this Agreement and
to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument
may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described
in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f)
of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15
to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.
(f)
A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13 or 2.15 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 so provides and is made with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant
shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.15(f) as though it were a Lender.
(g)
Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other applicable central
bank or, in the case of a Lender that is an investment fund, to the trustee under the indenture to which such fund is a party, 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.
(h)
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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”);
provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity
of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments or Loans or its other obligations
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that
such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The
entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining
a Participant Register.
SECTION
10.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein or in any other
Loan Document or in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto or thereto and shall survive the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and any other Loan Document and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party
or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal
of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and so long
as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15, 10.03 and 10.12 and Article VIII
shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment
of the Loans and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.
SECTION
10.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. (a) 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, any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative
Agent and any provisions in any commitment letter executed and delivered by the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby that by the express terms of such commitment letter survive the execution or effectiveness of this Agreement, constitute the entire
contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral
or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, 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 which,
when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
(b)
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document,
amendment, approval, consent, information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 10.01),
certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions
contemplated hereby and/or thereby (each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy,
emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery
of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any
other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records
in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual
executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature,
physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall
require the Administrative Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant
to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the
Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic Signature,
the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf
of the Borrowers without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any such Electronic
Signature and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by
a manually executed counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers hereby (A) agree that, for all purposes,
including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation
among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Borrowers, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other
electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other
Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (B) agree
that the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document and/or any Ancillary Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the
ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered
an original for all purposes and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (C) waive any argument,
defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary
Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document,
respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (D) waive any claim against any Lender-Related Person for
any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures
and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature
page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Borrowers to use any available security measures in connection
with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.
SECTION
10.07. 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
10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and other obligations
at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any
of and all the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing
under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and
although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and
application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
SECTION
10.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the law of the State of New York.
(b)
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of
the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern
District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan
Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall
be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c)
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in
any such court.
(d)
Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01.
Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law.
SECTION
10.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT
IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION
10.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only,
are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION
10.12. Confidentiality. (a) The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ directors,
officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (including service providers engaged by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in connection with the administration and management of the Loan Documents and the Commitments), to Related Funds’
directors and officers and to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements (it being understood that each Person
to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority) having jurisdiction
over such Lender, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv)
to any other party to this Agreement, (v) to the extent required or advisable in the judgment of counsel in connection with any suit,
action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders against the Borrowers under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section,
to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction or any credit insurance
provider relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Company or (viii) to the extent such Information
(A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender
is aware or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the
Company other than as a result of a breach of this Section of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is aware. For the purposes
of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company relating to the
Company or its business, other than (i) any such information that
is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company other than as a result
of a breach of this Section of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is aware and (ii) customary information with respect to the
terms of the credit facility established under this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league
table providers, that serve the lending industry. 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 furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement may include material non-public information
concerning the Company and its Related Parties or the Company’s securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures
regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those
procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.
(c)
All information, including requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Company, the Subsidiaries or the Administrative
Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public
information about the Company, the Subsidiaries and their Related Parties or the Company’s securities. Accordingly, each Lender
represents to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who
may receive information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law,
including Federal and state securities laws.
SECTION
10.13. Conversion of Currencies. (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 each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations 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, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding
any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section 10.13
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.
SECTION
10.14. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable
to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively
the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted
for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable
in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to
the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the
operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans shall be increased
(but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate,
shall have been received by such Lender.
SECTION
10.15. Certain Notices. Each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act
(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation,
it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address
of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act and the
Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Borrower agrees to provide the Lenders, upon request, with all documentation and other information
required to be obtained by the Lenders pursuant to applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations,
including the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
SECTION
10.16. No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Borrower, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with
all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, each Borrower, the Subsidiaries and
their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their 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 Administrative Agent, the Lenders
or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. Each Borrower,
on behalf of itself, the Subsidiaries and its and their respective Affiliates, waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any claims that such Borrower, the Subsidiaries or such Affiliates may have against the Administrative Agent,
any Person identified on the facing page or signature pages of this
Agreement or elsewhere herein as a “syndication agent” or “documentation agent”, any Lender or any Affiliate of
any of the foregoing in respect of any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
SECTION
10.17. Acknowledgement of and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges
that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may
be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges

dated as of June 9, 2021 (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING, INC. (the
“Company”), the BORROWING SUBSIDIARIES from time to time party thereto, the LENDERS from time to time party
thereto and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).
WHEREAS the Lenders have
agreed to extend credit to the Company and each other Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth therein;
WHEREAS the Company has requested
that the Lenders amend the Existing Credit Agreement in order to remove and replace the LIBOR-based interest rate benchmark provisions
with customary SOFR provisions and to effect certain other modifications to the Existing Credit Agreement as set forth herein; and
WHEREAS the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders whose signatures appear below, constituting each Lender party to the Existing Credit Agreement, are willing to consent
to the modifications to the Existing Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION
1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein (including in the preamble and the recitals hereto)

SECTION
2. Amendment of the Existing Credit Agreement. Effective as of the First Amendment Effective Date (as defined below) the
Existing Credit Agreement (excluding the Schedules and Exhibits thereto, each of which shall remain as in effect immediately prior to
the First Amendment Effective Date) is hereby amended by inserting the language indicated in single or double underlined text (indicated
textually in the same manner as the following examples: single-underlined text or double-underlined
text) in Annex I hereto and by deleting the language indicated by strikethrough text (indicated textually in the same manner
as the following example: stricken text) in Annex I hereto (the Existing Credit Agreement,
as so amended, being referred to as the “Amended Credit Agreement”).
SECTION
3. Representations and Warranties. The Company and each other Borrower hereby represents and warrants that (i) this Amendment
is within such Borrower’s corporate powers and has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and, if required, stockholder
action of such Borrower, (ii) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by such Borrower, (iii) this Amendment constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of such Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to
general principles of equity, regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, (iv) as of the First Amendment Effective Date, no Default or Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and (v) the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Amended Credit Agreement and
in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, with the same
effect as though made on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly
relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such
earlier date.
SECTION
4. Effectiveness. This Amendment and the amendment of the Existing Credit Agreement contemplated hereby shall become effective
as of the first date (the “First Amendment Effective Date”) on which:
(a)
The Administrative Agent (or its counsel) shall have received from the Company, each other Borrower (if any) and each Lender party
to the Existing Credit Agreement, either (i) a counterpart of this Amendment signed on behalf of such party or (ii) written
evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include facsimile or e-mail transmission of a signed signature page of this
Amendment) that such party has signed a counterpart of this Amendment;
(b)

a Vice President or a Financial Officer of the Company, confirming that on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date (i) the representations
and warranties of the Borrowers set forth in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects and (ii) no Default
or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing; and
(c)
the Administrative Agent shall have received, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket expenses required
to be reimbursed or paid by the Company hereunder.

5. Costs and Expenses. The Company shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative
Agent in connection with this Amendment, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore
LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent.
SECTION
6. Effect of this Amendment. (a) Except as expressly set forth herein
or in the Amended Credit Agreement, this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair,
constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Existing Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed
in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Company or any other Borrower
to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements
contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different
circumstances. The Company and each other Borrower
agrees that all of its obligations, liabilities and indebtedness under each Loan Document, including guarantee obligations, shall remain
in full force and effect, in accordance with applicable law, on a continuous basis after giving effect to this Amendment.
(b)
On and after the First Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Amended Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”,
“hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or other words of similar import, as used in the Amended Credit Agreement,
shall be deemed to be a reference to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended hereby and the term “Credit Agreement”, as used
in any other Loan Document, shall be deemed to be a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement.
SECTION
7. Interpretation. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Amended Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION
8. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
(a)
This Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
(b)
Each party to this Amendment hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District
of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents, or
for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted
by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Amendment or
any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Amendment against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c)
Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Amendment or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in
any such court.
(d)
Each party to this Amendment irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01 of
the Amended Credit Agreement. Nothing in this Amendment will affect the right of any party to this Amendment to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law.
SECTION
9. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT
MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).
EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE
OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS
SECTION.
SECTION
10. Counterparts. This Amendment 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. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by fax, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of the actual
executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment. The words “execution”,
“signed”, “signature”, “delivery”, and words of like import in or relating to this Amendment and/or
any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic
Signatures (as defined below), deliveries 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, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system,
as the case may be. “Electronic Signatures” means any electronic symbol or process attached to, or associated with,
any contract or other record and adopted by a person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record.
SECTION
11. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Amendment and shall
not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.

Agent that the Company requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof
in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that the
Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before
or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect
and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended
in accordance herewith.
SECTION
1.05. Exchange Rates. (a) Not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent
shall (i) determine the Exchange Rates applicable to the determination of US Dollar Equivalents of amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars

Person to the subsequent Person, and if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on
the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.
SECTION
1.07. Interest Rates; LIBORBenchmark
Notification. The interest rate on Loansa Loan
may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or
is, or may in the future become,
the subject of regulatory reform. Regulators have signaled the need to use alternative benchmark reference
rates and, as a result, such interest rate benchmark may cease to comply with applicable laws and regulations, may be permanently discontinued,
and/or the basis on which it is calculated may change. The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”)
is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank
market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly
announced that: immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar
LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings
will permanently cease; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to
be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative
of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is
no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further
action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is
published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private
sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR.
Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-In Election, Section
2.13(b) provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the Company, pursuant to Section 2.13(d), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurocurrency
Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have
any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other
matter related to the London interbank offeredany interest
rate or other ratesused
in the definition of “Screen Rate”this Agreement,
or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including,
without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.13(b), whether upon the
occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes pursuant to Section 2.13(c)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any
such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the
Screen Rateexisting interest rate being replaced
or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offeredany
existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative
Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used
in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments
thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Company. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its
reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition
thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Company, any Lender or any other person
or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses
or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any
error
or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be responsible under Section 2.14 or
2.16 for any increased costs incurred by a Lender as a result of a change in the location from which such Lender makes Loans unless such
Lender is legally required to make such change.
(c) At the commencement of
each Interest Period for any Borrowing (other than a Borrowing comprised of Competitive Loans or Contract Loans), such Borrowing shall

2.01(b) or Section 2.08 shall be made ratably by the Canadian Tranche Lenders in accordance with the amounts of their Canadian Tranche

of the B/As accepted by such Lender may be increased or reduced to the nearest integral multiple of C$100,000 by the Administrative Agent,
acting through its Toronto branch, in its sole discretion. B/As of more than one Contract Period may be outstanding at the same time;
provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of three B/A Drawings outstanding.
(c) To request an acceptance
and purchase of B/As, a Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone not later than 10:00 a.m., Local
Time, one Business Day before the date of such acceptance and purchase. Each such telephonic request shall be irrevocable and shall be
confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent, acting through its Toronto branch, of a written request
in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by such Borrower. Each such telephonic and written request shall specify the
following information:

(iv)
the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which any funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements
of Section 2.06. If no Contract Period is specified with respect to any requested acceptance and purchase of B/As, then the Borrower shall

of B/As to be accepted and purchased by such Lender.
(d) Each Borrower hereby
appoints each Canadian Tranche Lender as its attorney to sign and endorse on its behalf, manually or by facsimile or mechanical signature,
as and when deemed necessary by such Lender, blank forms of B/As. It shall be the responsibility of each Canadian Tranche Lender to maintain
an adequate supply of blank forms of B/As for acceptance under this Agreement. Each Borrower recognizes and agrees that all B/As signed
and/or endorsed on its behalf by any Canadian Tranche Lender shall bind such Borrower as fully and effectually as if manually signed and
duly issued by authorized officers of such Borrower. Each Canadian Tranche Lender is hereby authorized to issue such B/As endorsed in
blank in such face amounts as may be determined by such Lender; provided that the aggregate face amount thereof is equal to the
aggregate face amount of B/As required to be accepted by such Lender. No Canadian Tranche Lender shall be liable for any damage, loss
or claim arising by reason of any loss or improper use of any such instrument unless such loss or improper use results from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender. Each Canadian Tranche Lender shall maintain a record with respect to B/As (i) received
by it from the Administrative Agent in blank hereunder, (ii) voided by it for any reason, (iii) accepted and purchased by it hereunder
and (iv) canceled at their respective maturities. Each Canadian Tranche Lender further agrees to retain such records in the manner and
for the periods provided in applicable provincial or Federal statutes and regulations of Canada and to provide such records to each Borrower
upon its request and at its expense. Upon request by any Borrower, a Lender shall cancel all forms of B/A that have been pre-signed or
pre-endorsed on behalf of such Borrower and that are held by such Lender and are not required to be issued pursuant to this Agreement.
(e) Drafts of each Borrower
to be accepted as B/As hereunder shall be signed as set forth in paragraph (d) above. Notwithstanding that any Person whose signature
appears on any B/A may no longer be an authorized signatory for any of the Lenders or such Borrower at the date of issuance of such B/A,
such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such authority had remained in force at the time of
such issuance and any such B/A so signed shall be binding on such Borrower.
(f) Upon acceptance of a
B/A by a Lender, such Lender shall purchase, or arrange the purchase of, such B/A from the applicable Borrower at the Discount Rate for
such Lender applicable to such B/A accepted by it and provide to the Administrative Agent the Discount Proceeds for the account of such
Borrower as provided in Section 2.06. The acceptance fee payable by the Company to a Lender under Section 2.11 in respect of each B/A
accepted by such
Lender shall be set off against the Discount
Proceeds payable by such Lender under this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any B/A Drawing resulting from the
conversion or continuation of a B/A Drawing or Canadian Tranche Loan pursuant to Section 2.08, the net amount that would otherwise be
payable to such Borrower by each Lender pursuant to this paragraph will be applied as provided in Section 2.08(f).
(g) Each Lender may at any
time and from time to time hold, sell, rediscount or otherwise dispose of any or all B/A’s accepted and purchased by it.
(h) Each B/A accepted and
purchased hereunder shall mature at the end of the Contract Period applicable thereto.
(i) Each Borrower waives
presentment for payment and any other defense to payment of any amounts due to a Lender in respect of a B/A accepted and purchased by
it pursuant to this Agreement which might exist solely by reason of such B/A being held, at the maturity thereof, by such Lender in its
own right and each Borrower agrees not to claim any days of grace if such Lender as holder sues each Borrower on the B/A for payment of
the amounts payable by such Borrower thereunder. On the specified maturity date of a B/A, or such earlier date as may be required pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower shall pay the Lender that has accepted and purchased such B/A the full face amount
of such B/A, and after such payment such Borrower shall have no further liability in respect of such B/A and such Lender shall be entitled
to all benefits of, and be responsible for all payments due to third parties under, such B/A.
(j) At the option of each
Borrower and any Lender, B/A’s under this Agreement to be accepted by that Lender may be issued in the form of depository bills
for deposit with The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited pursuant to the Depository Bills and Notes Act (Canada). All depository
bills so issued shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 2.04.

Benchmark Competitive Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local
Time, three U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the
date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a Term
Benchmark Competitive Borrowing denominated in Euros or a CDOR Competitive Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local
Time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing and (iiiii)
in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, not later than 10:30 a.m., Local Time, on the date of the proposed Competitive Borrowing; provided
that (i) the failure of the Borrower to give such notice shall be deemed to be a rejection of each Competitive Bid, (ii) the Borrower
shall not accept a Competitive Bid made at a particular Competitive Bid Rate if such Borrower rejects a Competitive Bid made at a lower
Competitive Bid Rate, (iii) the aggregate amount of the Competitive Bids accepted by the Borrower shall not exceed the aggregate amount
of the requested Competitive Borrowing specified in the related Competitive Bid Request and (iv) to the extent necessary to comply with
clause (iii) above, the Borrower may accept Competitive Bids at the same Competitive Bid Rate in part, which acceptance, in the case of
multiple Competitive Bids at such Competitive Bid Rate, shall be made pro rata in accordance with the amount of each such Competitive
Bid; provided further that in calculating the pro rata allocation of acceptances of portions of multiple Competitive Bids at a
particular Competitive Bid Rate pursuant to clause (iv) the amounts shall be rounded to integral multiples of the Borrowing Multiple in
a manner determined by the Borrower. A notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph shall be irrevocable.
(e) The Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each bidding Lender by telecopy whether or not its Competitive Bid has been accepted (and, if so, the amount and
Competitive Bid Rate so accepted), and each successful bidder will thereupon become bound, subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
to make the Competitive Loan in respect of which its Competitive Bid has been accepted.
(f) If the Administrative
Agent or one of its Affiliates shall elect to submit a Competitive Bid in its capacity as a Lender, it shall submit such Competitive Bid
directly to the applicable Borrower at least one quarter of an hour earlier than the time by which the other Lenders are required to submit
their Competitive Bids to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.
SECTION
2.06. Funding of Borrowings and B/A Drawings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan (other than a Contract Loan) to be made
by it and disburse the Discount Proceeds (net of applicable acceptance fees) of each B/A to be accepted and purchased by it hereunder
on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the applicable currency by 2:00 p.m., Local Time (or if
later, in the case of an ABR Borrowing, one hour after the Lenders shall have been notified of the applicable Borrowing Request), to the
account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the applicable Lenders. The Administrative
Agent will make such Loans or Discount Proceeds (net of applicable acceptance fees) available to the relevant Borrower by promptly crediting
the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of such Borrower maintained by the Administrative Agent (or another account specified by such Borrower in the applicable
Borrowing Request or request for an acceptance and purchase of B/As) (i) in New York City, in the case of Loans denominated in US Dollars
(ii) in London, in the case of Loans denominated in Euros and (iii) in Toronto, in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars or
B/As. Each Lender shall make each Contract Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof
by wire transfer of immediately
available funds by the time and to the account agreed upon by the relevant Borrower and the applicable Lender.
(b) Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing or acceptance and purchase of B/As that such
Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing or the applicable Discount Proceeds
(net of applicable acceptance fees), 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 upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding
amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing or the applicable Discount Proceeds (net
of applicable acceptance fees) available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent has made an amount corresponding to
such share available to such Borrower, then the applicable Lender and such Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available
to such Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the rate reasonably
determined by the Administrative Agent to be the cost to it of funding such amount or (ii) in the case of such Borrower, the interest
rate applicable to the subject Loan or the cost to the Administrative Agent of funding the net proceeds of the subject B/As. If such Lender
pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing or
such Lender’s purchase of B/As and the Administrative Agent shall return to such Borrower any amount (including interest) paid by
such Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph.
SECTION
2.07. Repayment of Borrowings and B/A Drawings; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay
to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders (i) unless otherwise specified in this Section 2.07, the then unpaid
principal amount of the Loans comprising each Borrowing of such Borrower on the Maturity Date and the face amount of each B/A, if any,
accepted by such Lender as provided in Section 2.04 and (ii) the then unpaid principal amount of each Competitive Loan on the last day
of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the applicable Lender the then unpaid
principal amount of each Contract Loan on the date or dates agreed by such Borrower and such Lender. Each Borrower agrees to repay the
principal amount of each Loan made to such Borrower and the accrued interest thereon and the face amount of each B/A drawn by such Borrower
in the currency of such Loan or B/A.
(b) Each Lender shall maintain
in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the obligations of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from
the Loans made and the B/As accepted by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest and amounts in respect of B/As 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 Borrowing made hereunder, the Class, Type and currency thereof
and the Interest Period applicable thereto, and the amount of each B/A Drawing made hereunder and the Contract Period applicable thereto,
(ii) the amount of any principal, interest or amount in respect of any B/A due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower
to each Lender
hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the accounts 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 any Borrower to repay the Loans made to it or the B/As drawn by
it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Any Lender may request
that Loans of any Class made by it to any Borrower be evidenced by a promissory note if it is the policy of such Lender to obtain promissory
notes in transactions comparable to those provided for herein or if such Lender has another business reason for requesting such a promissory
note. In such event, each applicable Borrower shall prepare, 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) in the form of Exhibit C hereto. Thereafter,
the Loans evidenced by each such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section
10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory
note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
SECTION
2.08. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request
and, in the case of a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark
Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Each B/A Drawing shall have
a Contract Period as specified in the applicable request therefor. After the initial Borrowings under any Tranche and, if applicable,
B/A Drawings, the Borrowers may elect to convert and continue such Borrowings and, if applicable, B/A Drawings to or as other Borrowings
and, if applicable, B/A Drawings under such Tranche as provided in this Section (it being understood that no B/A Drawing may be converted
or continued other than at the end of the Contract Period applicable thereto). The Borrowers may elect different options with respect
to different portions of the affected Borrowings or B/A Drawings, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the
Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowings or accepting the B/As comprising such B/A Drawings, as the case may be, and any Loans
or B/As resulting from an election made with respect to any such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing or B/A Drawing. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section, no Borrowing or B/A Drawing may be converted into or continued as a Borrowing or B/A Drawing with
an Interest Period or Contract Period, as applicable, ending after the Maturity Date. This Section shall not apply to Competitive Loans
or to Contract Loans, which may not be converted or continued.
(b) To make an election pursuant
to this Section, a Borrower, or the Company on its behalf, shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone (x) in
the case of an election that would result in a Borrowing,
by the time and date that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if such Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the
Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election and (y) in the case of an election that would result
in a B/A Drawing or continuation of a B/A Drawing, by the time and date that a request would be required under Section 2.04 if such Borrower
were requesting
an acceptance and purchase of B/As to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election
Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest
Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the relevant Borrower, or the Company on its behalf. Notwithstanding
any contrary provision herein, this Section shall not be construed to permit any Borrower to (i) change the currency of any Borrowing,
(ii) elect an Interest Period for EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark
Loans or CDOR Loans that does not comply with Section 2.02(d) or (iii) convert any Borrowing or B/A Drawing to a Borrowing or B/A Drawing
not available under the Class of Commitments pursuant to which such Borrowing or B/A Drawing was made.
(c) Each telephonic and written
Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03 or 2.04:
(i)
the Borrowing or B/A Drawing 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 or B/A Drawing (in which case the information
to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing or B/A Drawing);
(ii)
the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)
in the case of an election with respect to a US Tranche Borrowing, whether a EurocurrencyTerm
Benchmark Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing is elected; in the case of an election with respect to a Canadian Tranche Borrowing
denominated in Canadian Dollars or a B/A Drawing, whether a CDOR Borrowing, a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing or a B/A Drawing is elected;
and in the case of an election with respect to a Canadian Tranche Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, whether a EurocurrencyTerm
Benchmark Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing is elected; and
(iv)
in the case of an election of a EurocurrencyTerm
Benchmark Borrowing or a CDOR 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”, and in the case of an election of a
B/A Drawing, the Contract Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Contract
Period”; provided that no EurocurrencyTerm
Benchmark Borrowing, CDOR Borrowing or B/A Drawing may be elected with an Interest Period or Contract Period, as the case
may be, that would extend after the Maturity Date.
If any such Interest Election Request requests
a EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark Borrowing,
a CDOR Borrowing or a B/A Drawing but does not specify an Interest Period or Contract Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected
an Interest Period of one month’s duration or a Contract Period of 30 days’ duration, as the case may be.
(d) Promptly following receipt
of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion
of each resulting Borrowing or B/A Drawing.
(e) If the relevant Borrower
fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a EurocurrencyTerm
Benchmark Borrowing, a CDOR Borrowing or B/A Drawing prior to the end of the Interest Period or Contract Period applicable
thereto, then, unless such Borrowing or B/A Drawing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period or Contract Period,
such Borrowing or B/A Drawing shall (i) in the case of a EurocurrencyTerm
Benchmark Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, be converted to an ABR Borrowing, (ii) in the case of a CDOR Borrowing denominated
in Canadian Dollars or a B/A Drawing, be converted into a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing and (iii) in the case of any other EurocurrencyTerm
Benchmark Borrowing, become due and payable on the last day of such Interest Period.
(f) Upon the conversion of
any Canadian Tranche Borrowing (or portion thereof), or the continuation of any B/A Drawing (or portion thereof), to or as a B/A Drawing,
the net amount that would otherwise be payable to a Borrower by each Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(f) in respect of such new B/A Drawing
shall be applied against the principal of the Canadian Tranche Loan made by such Lender as part of such Canadian Tranche Borrowing (in
the case of a conversion), or the reimbursement obligation owed to such Lender under Section 2.04(i) in respect of the B/As accepted by
such Lender as part of such maturing B/A Drawing (in the case of a continuation), and such Borrower shall pay to such Lender an amount
equal to the difference between the principal amount of such Canadian Tranche Loan or the aggregate face amount of such maturing B/As,
as the case may be, and such net amount.
(g) The conversion or continuation
of any Borrowing or B/A Drawing shall not constitute a repayment of amounts outstanding or a new advance of funds hereunder.
SECTION
2.09. Termination, Reduction, Increase and Extension of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall
terminate on the Maturity Date.
(b) The Company may at any
time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments
of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum, (ii)
the Company shall not terminate or reduce the US Tranche Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the US Tranche
Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, aggregate US Tranche Exposures would exceed the aggregate US Tranche Commitments, (iii) the Company
shall not terminate or reduce the Canadian Tranche Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Canadian Tranche
Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the aggregate Canadian Tranche Exposures would exceed the aggregate Canadian Tranche Commitments,
(iv) the Company shall not terminate or reduce the Euro Tranche Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the
Euro Tranche Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the aggregate Euro Tranche Exposures would exceed the aggregate Euro Tranche Commitments
and (v) the Company shall not terminate or reduce any Commitments if, after giving effect
to any concurrent prepayment of
Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the aggregate Exposures would exceed the aggregate Commitments.
(c) The Company shall notify
the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments of any Class under paragraph (b) of this Section at least
three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying the effective date of such election. Promptly
following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice
delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments
delivered by the Company may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such
notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition
is not satisfied. 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 applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.
(d) (i) The Company may on
one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and executed by the Company and one or more financial institutions
(any such financial institution referred to in this paragraph (d) being called an “Increasing Lender”), which may include
any Lender, cause new Commitments of any Tranche to be extended by the Increasing Lenders (or cause the Commitments of any Tranche of
the Increasing Lenders to be increased, as the case may be) in amounts set forth in such notice not to be less than (A) $10,000,000 for
each Increasing Lender and (B) $25,000,000 for all Increasing Lenders under each such notice; provided that (x) at no time shall
the aggregate amount of all extensions of new Commitments and increases in existing Commitments effected pursuant to this paragraph (d)
exceed $500,000,000, (y) each Increasing Lender, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative
Agent and the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (z) each Increasing Lender, if not
already a Lender hereunder, shall execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the
Commitment or Commitments of such Increasing Lender and/or its status as a Lender hereunder. The decision of any Lender to increase its
Commitment shall be at the sole discretion of such Lender.
(ii)
Extensions of new Commitments and increases in existing Commitments pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall become effective on the
date specified in the applicable notice delivered by the Company pursuant to subparagraph (i) above. Upon the effectiveness of such extensions
of new Commitments and/or increases in existing Commitments, (A) each Increasing Lender not already a Lender hereunder shall be deemed
to be a party to this Agreement and shall thereafter be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Lender hereunder and
subject to all obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed to have been amended to reflect the new Commitments
or the increases in the Commitments, as applicable, of each Increasing Lender as set forth in the applicable notice delivered by the Company.
(iii)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the Commitments (or in any Commitment of any Lender) or extension of new Commitments
hereunder shall become
effective under this paragraph (d) unless
(A) on the date of such increase or extension, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied
(without giving effect to the parenthetical in such paragraph (a)) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to
that effect dated such date and executed by a Financial Officer of the Company and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have received
documents consistent with those delivered pursuant to Section 4.01(b) and (c) as to the corporate power and authority of the
Borrowers to borrow hereunder after giving effect to such increase or extension.
(iv)
On the effective date of any extension of a new Commitment of any Tranche or increase in an existing Commitment of any Tranche
pursuant to this paragraph (d), (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans of such Tranche outstanding (the “Initial
Loans”) immediately prior to giving effect to such extension or increase shall be deemed to be repaid, (B) after the effectiveness
of such extension or increase, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have made new Revolving Borrowings of such Tranche (the “Subsequent
Borrowings”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Loans and of the Types
and for the Interest Periods specified in a Borrowing Request delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.03, (C)
each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in same day funds an amount equal to the difference, if positive, between (x) such Lender’s
Tranche Percentage (calculated after giving effect to any such extension or increase) of the Subsequent Borrowings and (y) such Lender’s
Tranche Percentage (calculated without giving effect to any such extension or increase) of the Initial Loans, (D) after the Administrative
Agent receives the funds specified in clause (C) above, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender the portion of such funds that
is equal to the difference, if positive, between (x) such Lender’s Tranche Percentage (calculated without giving effect to any such
extension or increase) of the Initial Loans and (y) such Lender’s Tranche Percentage (calculated after giving effect to any such
extension or increase) of the amount of the Subsequent Borrowings, (E) each Lender shall be deemed to hold its applicable Tranche Percentage
of each Subsequent Borrowing (each calculated after giving effect to any such extension or increase) and (F) each applicable Borrower
shall pay each Lender any and all accrued but unpaid interest on the Initial Loans. The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (A) above
in respect of each EurocurrencyTerm Benchmark
Loan or CDOR Loan shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.15 if the effective date of the extension of or increase in Commitments
pursuant to this paragraph (d) occurs other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto and breakage costs result. In
the event of any extension of a new Canadian Tranche Commitment or increase in an existing Canadian Tranche Commitment, no adjustment
will be made in respect of outstanding B/As prior to the ends of the applicable Contract Periods, but any refinancing of such B/As shall
be made ratably in accordance with the Lenders’ Canadian Tranche Commitments after giving effect to such new or increased Commitments.
(e) The Company may, from time
to time and by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) given not fewer
than 30 days and not more than 120 days prior to any anniversary of the Effective Date, request that the Lenders extend the Maturity
Date and the Commitments for an additional period of one year (the date of any such request being called the “Request Date”).
Each Lender shall, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the Administrative
Agent’s receipt of the Company’s extension request, advise the Company whether or not it agrees to the requested extension
(each Lender agreeing to a
requested extension being called a
“Consenting Lender” and each Lender declining to agree to a requested extension being called a
“Declining Lender”). Any Lender that has not so advised the Company and the Administrative Agent by such day
shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a Declining Lender. If Lenders constituting the Required
Lenders shall have agreed to an extension request, then the Maturity Date shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended to the
first anniversary of the Maturity Date theretofore in effect. The decision of any Lender to agree or withhold agreement to any
extension request shall be at the sole discretion of such Lender. The Commitment of any Declining Lender shall terminate on the
Maturity Date for such Lender in effect immediately prior to giving effect to any such extension (such Maturity Date being called
the “Existing Maturity Date”). The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by Declining Lenders, together
with any accrued interest thereon, the face amount of any outstanding B/As accepted by Declining Lenders, and any accrued fees and
other amounts payable to or for the accounts of such Declining Lenders hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Existing Maturity
Date, and on the Existing Maturity Date, each Borrower shall also make such other prepayments of its Loans or B/As as shall be
required in order that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitments of, and all payments to, Declining Lenders
pursuant to this sentence, the aggregate Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this paragraph, the Company shall have the right, pursuant to Section 2.18(b), at any time prior to the Existing
Maturity Date, to replace any Declining Lender with a Lender or other financial institution that will agree to a request for the
extension of the Maturity Date, and any such replacement Lender shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective unless (i) on the
date of such increase or extension, the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 4.02 shall be satisfied (without
giving effect to the parenthetical in such paragraph (a)) and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that
effect dated such date and executed by the President, a Vice President, or a
Financial Officer of the Company and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received documents consistent with those delivered
pursuant to Section 4.01(b) and (c) as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrowers to borrow hereunder after giving effect
to such extension.
SECTION
2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Any Borrower, or the Company on behalf of any Borrower, shall have the right at any time
and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing and amounts owed in respect of outstanding B/As of such Borrower in whole or in part, subject
to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section; provided that, unless the applicable Borrowers and Lenders shall
have otherwise agreed at the time such Loans were made, Competitive Loans or Contract Loans may be prepaid only with the consent of the
Lenders making such Loans.
(b) If the aggregate Exposures
of any Class shall exceed the aggregate Commitments of such Class, then (i) on the last day of any Interest Period for any EurocurrencyTerm
Benchmark Borrowing or a CDOR Borrowing of such Class (or, in the case of the Canadian Commitments, the last day of any
Contract Period for any B/A Drawing), and (ii) on any other date in the event ABR Borrowings or Canadian Base Rate Borrowings shall be
outstanding under such Class, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay Loans of such Class in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount
necessary to eliminate such excess (after giving effect to any other prepayment of Loans on such day) and (B) the amount of the applicable
Borrowings or B/A Drawings referred to in clause (i) or (ii), as applicable. If, on any Test Date, the aggregate amount of the Exposures
of any Class shall exceed 105% of the aggregate Commitments of such Class, then the applicable Borrowers shall, not later than the next
Business Day, prepay one or more Borrowings of such Class (or, in the case
of the Canadian Commitments, amounts owing in respect of outstanding B/As) in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to eliminate such
excess.
(c) Prior to any optional
or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings or amounts owing in respect of outstanding B/A Drawings hereunder, the applicable Borrower shall
select the Borrowing or Borrowings and B/A Drawings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant
to paragraph (d) of this Section.
(d) The applicable Borrower,
or the Company on behalf of the applicable Borrower, shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any
prepayment of a Borrowing or amounts owing in respect of an outstanding B/A Drawing hereunder (i) in the case of a EurocurrencyTerm
Benchmark Borrowing denominated in US Dollars, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three
U.S. Government Securities Business Days before the date of such prepayment, (ii) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated
in Euros or a CDOR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of such prepayment
and (iiiii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing,
a Canadian Base Rate Borrowing or any amount owed in respect of an outstanding B/A Drawing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, one
Business Day before the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal
amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof, or amount owed in respect of an outstanding B/A Drawing or portion thereof, to be prepaid;
provided that, if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments
as contemplated by Section 2.09(c), then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance
with Section 2.09(c). Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the
contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing or amounts owing in respect of a B/A Drawing 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 or an acceptance and purchase of B/As
as provided in Section 2.04. Each prepayment of a Borrowing or B/A Drawing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid
Borrowing or the B/As included in such B/A Drawing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest to the extent required by
Section 2.12 and (ii) break funding payments pursuant to Section 2.15.
(e) Amounts to be applied pursuant
to this Section or Article VII to prepay or repay amounts to become due with respect to outstanding B/As shall be deposited in the Prepayment
Account (as defined below). The Administrative Agent shall apply any cash deposited in the Prepayment Account allocable to amounts to
become due in respect of B/As on the last day of their respective Contract Periods until all amounts due in respect of outstanding B/As
have been prepaid or until all the allocable cash on deposit has been exhausted. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Prepayment
Account” shall mean an account established by a Borrower with the Administrative Agent and over which the Administrative Agent
shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal for application in accordance with this paragraph
(e). The Administrative Agent will, at the request of such
Borrower, invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account in short-term, cash
equivalent investments selected by the Administrative Agent in consultation with such Borrower that mature prior to the last day of the
applicable Contract Periods of the B/As to be prepaid; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation
to invest amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing. Such Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent for any losses relating to the investments so that the amount available
to prepay amounts due in respect of B/As on the last day of the applicable Contract Period is not less than the amount that would have
been available had no investments been made pursuant thereto. Other than any interest earned on such investments (which shall be for the
account of such Borrower, to the extent not necessary for the prepayment of B/As in accordance with this Section), the Prepayment Account
shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall be deposited in the Prepayment Account and reinvested
and disbursed as specified above. If the maturity of the Loans and all amounts due hereunder has been accelerated pursuant to Article
VII, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, apply all amounts on deposit in the Prepayment Account to satisfy any of the
Obligations in respect of Canadian Tranche Loans and B/As (and each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a security interest
in its Prepayment Account to secure such Obligations).
SECTION
2.11. Fees. (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, in US Dollars, for the account of the office (or
Affiliate) of each Lender (except, in the case of any Defaulting Lender, as provided in Section 2.20) from which such Lender would make
Loans to the Company in US Dollars hereunder (which office or Affiliate shall be specified by each Canadian Tranche Lender and Euro Tranche
Lender in a notice delivered to the Administrative Agent prior to the initial payment to such Lender under this paragraph), a commitment

(ii)
impose on any Lender or the London or Canadianapplicable
offshore interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or EurocurrencyTerm
Benchmark Loans or CDOR Loans made by such Lender or participations therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall
be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Loan or obtaining funds for the purchase
of B/As (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or to accept and purchase B/As) or to reduce the amount of any sum received
or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Company will pay or cause the other Borrowers
to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.
(b) If any Lender reasonably
determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or
the 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 capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Company will pay or cause the other Borrowers to pay to such
Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for
any such reduction suffered.
(c) Each Lender shall determine
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section using the methods customarily used by it for such purpose (and if such Lender uses more than one
such method, the method used hereunder shall be that which most accurately determines such amount or amounts). A certificate of a Lender
setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, as the case may be, as
specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and an explanation in reasonable detail of the method and calculations by which such
amount shall have been determined, shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall
pay or cause the other Borrowers to pay to 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 Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased
costs or reductions incurred 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 delivers a certificate with respect thereto as provided in paragraph (c) above; 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.

Benchmark Loan, CDOR Loan or Fixed Rate 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 EurocurrencyTerm
Benchmark Loan or CDOR Loan to a Loan of a different Type or Interest Period other than on the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan or to issue B/As for acceptance
and purchase on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under
Section 2.10(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment or deemed assignment of any EurocurrencyTerm
Benchmark Loan, CDOR Loan or Fixed Rate Loan or the right to receive payment in respect of a B/A other than on the
last day of the Interest Period or Contract Period, as the case may be, applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company
pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and
expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan or CDOR Loan, such loss,
cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the
amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate or
CDOR Rate, as applicable, that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day
of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would
have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such
period at the interest rate such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable
currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any
Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section, and setting forth in
reasonable detail the calculations used by such Lender to determine such amount or amounts, shall be delivered to the applicable
Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any
such certificate within 15 Business Days after receipt thereof.
SECTION
2.16. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any Borrower in respect of any Obligation hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that
if any Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made,
(ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrowers
shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) The relevant Borrower
shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 15 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount

any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and
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
setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise thereto and the calculations used by such Lender to determine the
amount thereof delivered to the Company 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) As soon as practicable
after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, such Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy
of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Each Lender shall severally
indemnify the Administrative Agent for (i) any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the relevant
Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the relevant
Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions
of Section 10.04(h) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in each case that are paid or payable by the Administrative
Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any penalties, interest and 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. The indemnity under this
paragraph (e) shall be paid within 15 Business Days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating
the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable
absent manifest error.

entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any
treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Company (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed
by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate;
provided that such Lender has received written notice from the
Company advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction
and containing all applicable documentation.
(ii) If a payment
made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States 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 Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or
times reasonably requested by the Withholding 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 Withholding Agent as may be necessary for
the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s
obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this
Section 2.16(f)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Except as agreed by the relevant Borrower and the applicable Lenders with respect to
Contract Loans, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of
principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Local Time, on
the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time (or any other

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 the Administrative Agent to the applicable account specified in Schedule 2.17 for the account
of the applicable Lenders or, in any such case, to such other account as the Administrative Agent shall from time to time specify in
a notice delivered to the Company and the applicable Borrower; provided that payments to the applicable Lenders in respect of
Contract Loans and payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and
payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein (it being agreed that the Borrowers will be
deemed to have satisfied their obligations with respect to payments referred to in this proviso if they shall make such payments to the
persons entitled thereto in accordance with instructions provided by the Administrative Agent; the Administrative Agent agrees to provide
such instructions upon request, and no Borrower will be deemed to have failed to make such a payment if it shall transfer such payment
to an improper account or address as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to provide proper instructions). The Administrative
Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any Lender or other Person promptly, in accordance with customary
banking practices, following receipt thereof at the appropriate lending office or other address specified by such Lender or other Person.
If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.
All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan or B/A shall be made in the currency of such Loan or B/A; all
other payments hereunder and under each other Loan Document shall be made in US
Dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative
Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have
taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement
system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment. Any amount payable by the Administrative Agent to one or more Lenders in
the national currency of a member state of the European Union that has adopted the Euro as its lawful currency shall be paid in Euros.
(b) If any Lender shall,
by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on its US
Tranche Loans, Canadian Tranche Loans, B/As or Euro Tranche Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion
of the aggregate amount of its US Tranche Loans, Canadian Tranche Loans, B/As and Euro Tranche Loans and accrued interest thereon
than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face
value) participations in the US Tranche Loans, Canadian Tranche Loans, B/As and Euro Tranche 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
their respective US Tranche Loans, Canadian Tranche Loans, B/As and Euro Tranche Loans and accrued interest thereon; provided
that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such
participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the
provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with
the express terms of this Agreement or 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, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof
(as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may
exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off 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. Any purchaser of a participation under this paragraph shall
have the benefit of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 with respect to the participation purchased, but shall not be deemed by virtue of
such purchase to have extended any Commitment that it had not extended prior to such purchase.
(c) Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from the relevant Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due for the account of all or certain
of the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made
such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders, as the
case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable 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
a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry practices on interbank compensation.
(d) If any Lender shall fail
to make any payment required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, then the Administrative Agent may,
in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by it for the account of such
Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Administrative Agent until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.
SECTION
2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or
if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall consult with the Company regarding any actions that could be taken to reduce
amounts payable under such Sections and the costs of taking such actions and shall, at the request of the Company following such
consultations, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to
assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender,
such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be,
in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous
to such Lender. The Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable, direct, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in
connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If (i) any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, (iii) or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender delivers a
Notice of Illegality pursuant to Section 2.19 or (v) any Lender is a Declining Lender, then the Company 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 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to an
assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided
that (A) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed, (B) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee or the Company, (C) in the case
of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the delivery of a Notice of Illegality under Section 2.19, it shall not be unlawful
under Federal or applicable state or foreign law for the assignee to make Loans or otherwise extend credit to or do business with the
Subsidiary in respect of which such Notice of Illegality was delivered and (D) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting
from the status of a Lender as a Declining Lender, the assignee shall have agreed to the extended Maturity Date resulting from the applicable
extension request. 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, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION
2.19. Designation of Borrowing Subsidiaries. The Company may at any time and from time to time designate any Subsidiary
as a US Borrowing Subsidiary or a Euro
Borrowing Subsidiary, or designate any
Canadian Subsidiary as a Canadian Borrowing Subsidiary by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement
executed by such Subsidiary and the Company. As soon as practicable upon receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will post a copy
of such Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement to the Lenders. Each Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement shall become effective on the date five
Business Days after it has been posted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (subject to the receipt by any Lender of any
information reasonably requested by it not later than the third Business Day after the posting of such Borrowing Subsidiary
Agreement under the Patriot Act or other “know-your-customer” laws including, to the extent such Subsidiary qualifies as
a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to
such Subsidiary), unless prior thereto the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from any Lender that it shall be
unlawful under Federal or applicable state or foreign law or prohibited under such Lender’s bona fide internal policies of
general applicability for such Lender to make Loans or otherwise extend credit to or do business with such Subsidiary (a
“Notice of Illegality”), in which case such Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement shall not become effective until such
time as such Lender withdraws such Notice of Illegality or ceases to be a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 2.18(b). Upon the
effectiveness of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement as provided in the preceding sentence, the applicable Subsidiary shall for all
purposes of this Agreement be a US Borrowing Subsidiary, a Euro Borrowing Subsidiary or a Canadian Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case
may be, and a party to this Agreement until the Company shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing
Subsidiary Termination with respect to such Subsidiary, whereupon such Subsidiary shall cease to be a US Borrowing Subsidiary, a
Euro Borrowing Subsidiary or a Canadian Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, and a party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, no Borrowing Subsidiary Termination will become effective as to any Borrowing Subsidiary at a time when any
principal of or interest on any Loan to such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be outstanding hereunder, provided that such
Borrowing Subsidiary Termination shall be effective to terminate the right of such Borrowing Subsidiary, as the case may be, to make
further Borrowings under this Agreement. As soon as practicable upon receipt of a Borrowing Subsidiary Agreement, the Administrative
Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Lender.
SECTION
2.20. Defaulting Lenders. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then:
(i)
commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of each Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a);
(ii)
the Commitments and Exposures of such Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded for purposes of any determination of whether the Required
Lenders or other requisite Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other
modification pursuant to Section 10.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders
or each affected Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
(b) In the event that the Administrative
Agent and the Company shall agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting
Lender, then on such date such Lender shall fund its Loans to or accept and purchase
B/As of each Borrower or purchase
at par Exposures of the other Lenders (other than Competitive Loan Exposures), in each case as the Administrative Agent shall determine
may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Exposures ratably in accordance with its applicable Commitments. Such Lender shall
cease to be a Defaulting Lender upon remedying all matters to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that caused
such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, including the funding of any Exposure or the closing of the purchase of any Exposure necessary
in order for such Lender to hold such Exposures ratably in accordance with its applicable Commitments.

Negative Covenants

expired or terminated and the principal of and interest on each Loan, each amount owed in respect of any B/A, and all fees and other amounts
payable hereunder have been paid in full, the Company and each other Borrower covenants and agrees with the Lenders that:
SECTION
6.01. Liens. The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien
on any property or asset now owned or hereafter acquired by it, or assign or sell any income or revenues (including accounts receivable)
or rights in respect thereof, except:
(a) Permitted Encumbrances;
(b) any Lien on any
property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary existing on the date hereof and set forth in Schedule 6.01; provided that (i)
such Lien shall not apply to any other property or asset of any of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries and (ii) such Lien shall
secure only those obligations which it secures on the date hereof and extensions, renewals and replacements thereof that do not increase
the outstanding principal amount thereof;
(c) any Lien existing
on any property or asset prior to the acquisition thereof by the Company or any Subsidiary or existing on any property or asset of any
Person that becomes a Subsidiary after the date hereof prior to the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary; provided that (i) such
Lien is not created in contemplation of or in connection with such acquisition or such Person becoming a Subsidiary, as the case may
be, (ii) such Lien shall not apply to any other property or assets of any of the Company or any Subsidiary and (iii) such Lien shall
secure only those obligations which it secures on the date of such acquisition or the date such Person becomes a Subsidiary, as the case
may be, and extensions, renewals and replacements thereof that do not increase the outstanding principal amount thereof;
(d) Liens on fixed
or capital assets acquired, constructed or improved by the Company or any Subsidiary; provided that (i) such Liens and the Indebtedness
secured thereby are incurred prior to or within 90 days after such acquisition or the completion of such construction or improvement,
(ii) the Indebtedness secured thereby does not exceed the cost of acquiring, constructing or improving such fixed or capital assets and
(iii) such security interests shall not apply to any other property or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary;
(e) Liens on securities
deemed to exist under repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements entered into by the Company and the Subsidiaries; and
(f) other Liens not
expressly permitted by clauses (a) through (e) above; provided that the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding
obligations secured by Liens permitted under this clause (f) and (ii) the Attributable Debt permitted by Section 6.02(b) does not at any
time exceed 25% of Consolidated Net Worth. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may treat obligations that appear on its consolidated
balance sheet arising from factoring or other financing arrangements pursuant to which it or any subsidiary sells accounts receivable
as being secured by a Lien for purposes of this Section 6.01(f).
SECTION
6.02. Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into
any Sale and Leaseback Transaction except:
(a) Sale and Leaseback
Transactions to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party as of the date hereof; and
(b) other Sale and
Leaseback Transactions; provided that the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding obligations secured by Liens
permitted by Section 6.01(f) and (ii) the aggregate Attributable Debt in respect of Sale and Leaseback Transactions permitted by this
clause (b) does not at any time exceed 25% of Consolidated Net Worth.
SECTION
6.03. Fundamental Changes. Neither the Company nor any other Borrower will merge into or consolidate with any other
Person, or permit any other Person to merge into or consolidate with it, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (in one
transaction or in a series of transactions and including by means of any merger or sale of capital stock or otherwise) all or
substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired), or liquidate or dissolve, except that, if at the time
thereof and immediately after giving effect thereto no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such
transaction, the Company or any Borrower may merge or consolidate with any Person if (a) the Company or such Borrower, as the case
may be, is the surviving Person or (b) the surviving Person (i) is organized under the laws of The United States of America or, in
the case of a merger or consolidation of a Borrower other than the Company, the jurisdiction of organization of such Borrower, and
(ii) assumes in writing all of the Company’s or such Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement pursuant to
documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such satisfaction to be based solely upon the validity and
enforceability of the assumption contained in such documentation.

of a Person acquired directly or indirectly by the Company after the date hereof shall be accelerated by reason of such acquisition, no

event with respect to any Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of this Article), and at any time thereafter during the continuance
of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Company, take either
or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and thereupon the Commitments shall

ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent
In order to expedite the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Person named in the heading of this Agreement is hereby appointed to act as Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders. Each of the Lenders and each assignee of any Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent
to take such actions on behalf of such Lender or assignee and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by
the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent
is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders, without hereby limiting any implied authority, and by the Borrowers with respect to clause
(c) below, (a) to receive on behalf of the Lenders all payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due to
the Lenders hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender its proper share of each payment so received; (b) to give notice on behalf
of each of the Lenders to the Company of any Default or Event of Default specified in this Agreement of which the Administrative Agent
has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (c) to distribute to each Lender copies of all notices, financial
statements and other materials delivered by the Company or any other Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as
received by the Administrative Agent.
With respect to the Loans
made by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity and not as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights
and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any of the Borrowers or any
of their Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent
shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or
exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the
Administrative Agent is required to exercise upon receipt of notice in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02), and (c) except as expressly
set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and the Administrative Agent shall
not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries that is
communicated to or obtained by the institution serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The
Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section
10.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower (in which case
the Administrative Agent shall give written notice to each other Lender), and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for
or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan
Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith
or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein
or therein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument
or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative
Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall
not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any 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
may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents, which may include any
of its branches or affiliates, appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any
and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding
paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall
apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities
as the Administrative Agent.
Subject to the appointment
and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by
notifying the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the
Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and except during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder,
when no consent shall be required), to appoint a successor. In addition, if the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender due to
it having had a receiver, conservator, trustee, administrator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person charged with
the reorganization or liquidation of its business or custodian appointed for it, the Required Lenders shall have the right, by
notice in writing to the Company and the Administrative Agent, to remove the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such and, with
the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and except during the continuance of an Event of
Default hereunder, when no consent shall be required), to appoint a successor. If (a) no successor to a retiring Administrative
Agent 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, on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such
bank or (b) no successor to a removed Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days following the issuance of a notice of removal, the removal shall become effective on such 30th day and on
such date the Required Lenders shall succeed as Administrative Agent to such removed Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of
its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and such retiring or
removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the Administrative Agent’s
resignation or removal, as the case may be, hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for
the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, as the case may be. its sub-agents and their respective Related
Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Each Lender agrees (a) to
reimburse the Administrative Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on the amount of its Loans and available Commitments
hereunder) of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, including counsel fees and compensation
of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders, that shall not have been reimbursed by the Company or any
other Borrower and (b) to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and any of its Related Parties, on demand, in the amount
of such pro rata share, from and against any and all
liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in
its capacity as Administrative Agent or any of them in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to the extent the same shall not have
been reimbursed by the Company or any other Borrower; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent or any
such other indemnified Person for any portion of such liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are determined to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent, and any of its Related Parties or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents.
Each Lender acknowledges
that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender 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 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 related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
None of the Lenders identified
on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement or elsewhere herein as a “syndication agent” or “documentation
agent” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable
to all Lenders as such.
Each Lender hereby agrees
that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that
any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or
repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously
transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof),
such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter (or such later
date as the Administrative Agent, may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative
Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with
interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent)
in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such
amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by
applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, 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
Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A
notice of the Administrative
Agent to any Lender under this paragraph or the following paragraph shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error.
Each Lender hereby further
agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or
on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect
to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall
be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case,
or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day
thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent, may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing),
return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day
funds, together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent)
in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount
is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
Each Borrower hereby agrees
that in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such erroneous Payment
(or portion thereof) for any reason, (x) the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to
such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by any Borrower,
except, in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is,
comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower for the purpose of satisfying Obligations.
Each party’s
obligations under the preceding three paragraphs shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any
transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
Each Lender (x) represents
and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender
party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and
their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any Subsidiary, that at least
one of the following is and will be true: (i) such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42)
of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans or the Commitments, (ii) the transaction exemption set
forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional
asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class
exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain
transactions
involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers),
is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the
Commitments and this Agreement, (iii) (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager”
(within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of
such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into,
participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections
(b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE
84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans,
the Commitments and this Agreement, or (iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative
Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
In addition, unless sub-clause
(i) in the immediately preceding paragraph is true with respect to a Lender or a Lender has provided another representation, warranty
and covenant as provided in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Lender further (x) represents
and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender
party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and
their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Company or any Subsidiary, that none of
the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender
involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this
Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any
Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto).
The Administrative Agent
and the Arrangers hereby inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to
give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial
interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other
payments with respect to the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans or the
Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii)
may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise,
including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency
fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit fees, fronting fees,
deal-away or alternate transaction fees, amendment fees, processing fees, term out premiums, banker’s acceptance fees,
breakage or other early termination fees or fees similar to the foregoing.
ARTICLE
IX
Guarantee
In order to induce the Lenders
to extend credit to the other Borrowers hereunder, the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor
and not merely as a surety, the payment when and as due of the Obligations of such other Borrowers. The Company further agrees that the
due and punctual payment of such Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from
it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee hereunder notwithstanding any such extension or renewal of any such Obligation.
The Company waives presentment
to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its obligations
and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of the Company hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower under the provisions of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any of the Obligations; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment
or modification of, or release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreement; (d) any
default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations; or (e) any other act, omission or delay
to do any other act which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Company or otherwise operate as a discharge
of a guarantor as a matter of law or equity or which would impair or eliminate any right of the Company to subrogation.
The Company further agrees
that its agreement hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether or not any bankruptcy or similar proceeding shall have
stayed the accrual or collection of any of the Obligations or operated as a discharge thereof) and not merely of collection, and waives
any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any balance of any deposit account or credit
on the books of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person.
The obligations of the
Company hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, and shall not be
subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever, by reason of the invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of any of the Obligations, any impossibility in the performance of any of the Obligations or otherwise.
The Company further agrees
that its obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part
thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise.
In furtherance of the foregoing
and not in limitation of any other right which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have at law or in equity against the Company
by virtue
hereof, upon the failure of any other Borrower to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity,
by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Company hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in cash an amount equal
to the unpaid principal amount of such Obligations then due, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Company further agrees
that if payment in respect of any Obligation shall be due in a currency other than US Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than
New York and if, by reason of any Change in Law, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or other
event, payment of such Obligation in such currency or at such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, not consistent with the protection of its rights or interests, then, at the election of the Administrative
Agent, the Company shall make payment of such Obligation in US Dollars (based upon the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the date
of payment) and/or in New York, and shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender against any losses or reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.

Obligations owed by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
Nothing shall discharge or
satisfy the liability of the Company hereunder except the full performance and payment of the Obligations.

SECTION
10.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or
power hereunder or under any other 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 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 Borrower 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 or acceptance and purchase
of a B/A shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had
notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b) Subject to Section
2.13, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified
except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company and the Required Lenders or by the Company and
the Administrative Agent with the consent of 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 Borrowers that are parties thereto, in each case
with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or the amount payable in respect of any
B/A, reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender adversely
affected thereby, (iii) postpone the date of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, the
required date of any payment with respect to any B/A, or any 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 affected
thereby (provided that nothing shall limit the right of each Borrower to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to Section
2.09(e)), (iv) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without
the written consent of each Lender (it being understood that the addition of new tranches of loans or commitments that may be
extended under this Agreement shall not be deemed to alter such pro rata sharing of payments), (v) change any of the provisions of
this Section or 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) (except, in each case, to provide for new tranches of loans or commitments that may be extended under this Agreement), (vi)
release the Company from, or limit or condition, its obligations under Article IX, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii)
change any provisions of any Loan Document in a manner that by its terms adversely affects the rights in respect of payments due to
Lenders with Commitments of any Class (or holding Obligations arising under such Commitments) differently than those of Lenders with
Commitments of any other Class (or holding Obligations arising under such Commitments) without the written consent of Lenders
holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans, obligations in respect of B/As and unused
Commitments of each adversely
affected Class or (viii) change Section 10.17 in any manner without the written consent of each Lender that is an Affected Financial
Institution (as defined in Section 10.17); provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise
affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent and (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or
duties under this Agreement of the US Tranche Lenders (but not the Euro Tranche Lenders or the Canadian Tranche Lenders), the Euro
Tranche Lenders (but not the Canadian Tranche Lenders or the US Tranche Lenders), or the Canadian Tranche Lenders (but not the US
Tranche Lenders or the Euro Tranche Lenders) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Company
and requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders. Notwithstanding anything else in this Section to the
contrary, any amendment of the definition of Applicable Rate pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of that definition in Section
1.01 of this Agreement shall not require the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, but shall require the written consent
of the Company and the Required Lenders.
SECTION
10.03. Limitation of Liability; Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Limitation of Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable
law (i) no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Syndication
Agent, any Documentation Agent and any Lender, and any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called a
“Lender-Related Person”) for any Liabilities arising from the use by others of information or other materials (including,
without limitation, any personal data) obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including
the Internet), and (ii) no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any Liabilities against any other party hereto,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising
out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby
or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this Section 10.03 shall relieve
the Company or any other Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee, as provided in Section 10.03(c), against any
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.
(b) Expenses. The
Company shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Administrative Agent and such Affiliates (and, if
the Administrative Agent shall determine that it requires local counsel in any non-US jurisdiction, one counsel in that
jurisdiction), in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation and administration of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether
or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel
for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights under any Loan Document,
including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or the B/As accepted and purchased, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.
(c) Indemnity. The
Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person
being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, liabilities, out-of-pocket
costs or expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted
against any Indemnitee (whether by a third party or by any Borrower) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) any transaction
or proposed transaction (whether or not consummated) in which any proceeds of any Borrowing or purchase of B/As hereunder are applied
or proposed to be applied, directly or indirectly, by any of the Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, (ii) any Loan or B/A Drawing or the
use of the proceeds therefrom or (iii) the execution, delivery or performance by any of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries of the Loan
Documents, or any actions or omissions of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection therewith; provided that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (x) shall be found by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Company or any Borrowing Subsidiary against an Indemnitee for a material breach in
bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Company or such Borrowing Subsidiary
has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to the effect
that such a material breach in bad faith has occurred. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2.16(c), this Section 10.03(c) shall
not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(d) To the extent that the
Company fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section, each
Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed loss, liability, cost
or expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro
rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum (without duplication) of the total Exposures (including B/As) and
unused Commitments at the time.
(e) All amounts due under
this Section shall be payable within 15 Business Days after receipt by the Company of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.
SECTION
10.04. 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 neither the Company nor any Borrower
may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and
any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and the
Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Any Lender may assign
to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its
Commitments and the Loans or other amounts at the time owing to it); provided that (i) the Administrative Agent (except in the
case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender) and the Company (except in the case of an assignment
to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender or if an Event of Default has occurred and, except in the case of
an Event of Default under Sections (a), (b), (g) or (h) of Article VII of this Agreement, has been continuing for 30 days) must each give
their prior written consent to such assignment (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (ii) except
in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of any Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans, the US Dollar Equivalent of the Commitments and outstanding
Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to
such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than US$10,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Administrative
Agent otherwise consent, (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and
Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of US$3,500 and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and provided further that (x) any consent of the Company otherwise
required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default referred to in clause (g), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred
and is continuing, (y) the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written
notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof and (z) no assignment shall be made to
any Person other than an Eligible Assignee. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) 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 Sections 2.14,
2.15, 2.16 and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations
in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section. The Borrowers shall not be responsible under Section 2.14 or 2.16 for any increased
costs incurred by a Lender as a result of an assignment under this Section to an Affiliate of such Lender unless such Lender is legally
required to make such assignment.
(c) The Administrative Agent,
acting for this purpose as an agent of each Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York 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 amount of the Loans and
amounts in respect of B/As owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
may 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 and any Lender, at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Upon its receipt of a
duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative
Questionnaire (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 made in compliance with this Agreement as provided in this paragraph.
(e) Any Lender may, without
the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and
the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the 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 this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (vi) of the first proviso to Section
10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.
(f) A Participant shall not
be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 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 so provides and is made
with the Company’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Company
is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with
Section 2.16(f) as though it were a Lender.
(g) Any Lender may at any
time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender,
including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other applicable central bank or, in the case of
a Lender that is an investment fund, to the trustee under the indenture to
which such fund is a party, 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.
(h) 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided
that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant
or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments or Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan
or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant
Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant
Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant
Register.
SECTION
10.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrowers herein or in any other
Loan Document or in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto or thereto and shall survive the execution and delivery
of this Agreement and any other Loan Document and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party
or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal
of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding
and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 10.03 and 10.12 and Article
VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment
of the Loans and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.
SECTION
10.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. (a) 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, any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative
Agent and any provisions in any commitment letter executed and delivered by the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby that by the express terms of such commitment letter survive
the execution or effectiveness of this Agreement, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof
and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided
in Section 4.01, 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 which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
(b) Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of (x) this Agreement, (y) any other Loan Document and/or (z) any document, amendment, approval, consent,
information, notice (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any notice delivered pursuant to Section 10.01), certificate, request, statement,
disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby
(each an “Ancillary Document”) that is an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic
means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
of this Agreement, such other Loan Document or such Ancillary Document, as applicable. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or
any Ancillary Document shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including
deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each
of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or
the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative
Agent to accept Electronic Signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent and pursuant to procedures approved by it;
provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (i) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept any Electronic
Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Electronic Signature purportedly given by
or on behalf of the Borrowers without further verification thereof and without any obligation to review the appearance or form of any
such Electronic signatureSignature and
(ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed
counterpart. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrowers hereby (i) agree that, for all purposes, including without
limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative
Agent, the Lenders, and the Borrowers, Electronic Signatures transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that
reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page and/or any electronic images of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or
any Ancillary Document shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, (ii) agree that the Administrative
Agent and each of the Lenders may, at its option, create one or more copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary
Document in the form of an imaged electronic record in any format, which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s
business, and destroy the original paper document (and all such electronic records shall be considered an original for all purposes and
shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record), (iii) waive any argument, defense or right to contest
the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document and/or any Ancillary Document based solely on
the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other
Loan Document and/or such Ancillary Document, respectively, including with respect to any signature pages thereto and (iv) waive any claim
against any Related Party of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender for any Liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s
and/or any Lender’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures and/or transmissions by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic
means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page, including any Liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the
Borrowers to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.
SECTION
10.07. 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
10.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated) at any time held and other obligations
at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any of and all the obligations
of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall
have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Administrative
Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.
SECTION
10.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
and governed by the law of the State of New York.
(b) Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State
of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate
court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement
of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action
or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions
by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any
right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against
any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Each party hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this

SECTION
10.12. Confidentiality. (a) The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers,
employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (including service providers engaged by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in connection with the administration and management of the Loan Documents and the Commitments), to Related Funds’

over such Lender, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to
any other party to this Agreement, (v) to the extent required or advisable in the judgment of counsel in connection with any suit, action
or proceeding relating to the enforcement of rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders against the Borrowers under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A)
any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction or any credit
insurance provider relating to the Borrower and its
obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Company or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than
as a result of a breach of this Section of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is aware or (B) becomes available to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company other than as a result of a breach of this Section
of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is aware. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information
received from the Company relating to the Company or its business, other than (i) any such information that is available to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company other than as a result of a breach of this Section of
which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is aware and (ii) customary information with respect to the terms of the credit facility
established under this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve
the lending industry. 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 furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement may include material non-public information concerning the Company and
its Related Parties or the Company’s securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures and applicable
law, including Federal and state securities laws.
(c) All information, including
requests for waivers and amendments, furnished by the Company, the Subsidiaries or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course
of administering, this Agreement will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Company,
the Subsidiaries and their Related Parties or the Company’s securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its Administrative Questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that
may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state
securities laws.
SECTION
10.13. Conversion of Currencies. (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
each Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations 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, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding
any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrowers contained in this Section
10.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.
SECTION
10.14. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable
to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or any B/A Drawing under applicable
law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which
may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or accepting such B/A in accordance with applicable
law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or B/A Drawing hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof,
shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such
Loan or B/A Drawing but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges
payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or B/A Drawings shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such
cumulated amount, together with interest thereon (a) at the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of US Dollar denominated amounts,
(b) at the Canadian Base Rate in the case of Canadian dollar denominated amounts, to the date of repayment, or (c) at a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent to represent the applicable Lenders’ cost of funds in the case of Euro denominated amounts, shall have
been received by such Lender.
SECTION
10.15. Certain Notices. Each Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act
(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation,
it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Borrower, which information includes the name and address
of such Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act and the
Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Borrower agrees to provide the Lenders, upon request, with all documentation and other information
required to be obtained by the Lenders pursuant to applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations,
including the Patriot Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.
SECTION
10.16. No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Borrower, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with
all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, each Borrower, the Subsidiaries and
their Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their 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 Administrative Agent, the Lenders
or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. Each Borrower,
on behalf of itself, the Subsidiaries and its and their respective Affiliates, waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, any claims that such Borrower, the Subsidiaries or such Affiliates may have against the Administrative Agent, any Person identified
on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement or
elsewhere herein as a “syndication
agent” or “documentation agent”, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing in respect of any breach or
alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.
SECTION
10.17. Acknowledgement of and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges
that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may
be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges
