Note 1 — Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting
Policies
Nature of Business and Operations
Albany Molecular Research, Inc. (the
“Company”) is a leading global contract research and manufacturing organization providing customers fully integrated
drug discovery, development, and manufacturing services. We supply a broad range of services and technologies supporting the discovery
and development of pharmaceutical products, the manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (“API”) and the
manufacturing of drug product for new and generic drugs, as well as research, development and manufacturing for the agrochemical
and other industries. With locations in the United States, Europe, and Asia, we maintain geographic proximity to our customers
and flexible cost models.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In accordance with Rule 10-01, the unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles for complete consolidated financial statements. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was
derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for
a fair statement of the results for the interim period have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of September 30, 2015. All intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated during consolidation. Assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations are translated
at period-end rates of exchange, and the statements of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the period.
Unrealized gains or losses resulting from translating non-U.S. currency financial statements are recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive loss in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. When necessary, prior years’ unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial
statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates included
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements include assumptions regarding the valuation of inventory, intangible assets,
and long-lived assets and assumptions associated with our accounting for business combinations. Other significant estimates include
assumptions utilized in determining actuarial obligations in conjunction with the Company’s pension and postretirement health
plans, the amount and realizabilty of deferred tax assets, assumptions utilized in determining stock-based compensation, as well
as those utilized in determining the value of both the notes hedges and the notes conversion derivative and the assumptions related
to the collectability of receivables. Actual results can vary from these estimates.
Contract Revenue Recognition
The Company’s contract revenue consists
primarily of amounts earned under contracts with third-party customers and reimbursed expenses under such contracts. Reimbursed
expenses consist of chemicals and other project specific costs. The Company also seeks to include provisions in certain contracts
that contain a combination of up-front licensing fees, milestone and royalty payments should the Company’s proprietary technology
and expertise lead to the discovery of new products that become commercial. Generally, the Company’s contracts may be terminated
by the customer upon 30 days’ to two years’ prior notice, depending on the terms and/or size of the contract.
The Company analyzes its agreements to determine whether the elements can be separated and accounted for individually or as a single
unit of accounting in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards
Codification (“ASC”) 605-25, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,” and Staff Accounting Bulletin
(“SAB”) 104, “Revenue Recognition”. Allocation of revenue to individual elements that qualify for separate
accounting is based on the separate selling prices determined for each component, and total contract consideration is then allocated
pro rata across the components of the arrangement. If separate selling prices are not available, the Company will use its best
estimate of such selling prices, consistent with the overall pricing strategy and after consideration of relevant market factors.
The Company generates contract revenue
under the following types of contracts:
Fixed-Fee. Under a fixed-fee contract,
the Company charges a fixed agreed upon amount for a deliverable. Fixed-fee contracts have fixed deliverables upon completion of
the project. Typically, the Company recognizes revenue for fixed-fee contracts after projects are completed, delivery is made and
title transfers to the customer, and collection is reasonably assured. In certain instances, the Company’s customers request
that the Company retain materials produced upon completion of the project due to the fact that the customer does not have a qualified
facility to store those materials or for other reasons. In these instances, the revenue recognition process is considered complete
when project documents have been delivered to the customer, as required under the arrangement, or other customer-specific contractual
conditions have been satisfied.
Full-time Equivalent (“FTE”).
An FTE agreement establishes the number of Company employees contracted for a project or a series of projects, the duration of
the contract period, the price per FTE, plus an allowance for chemicals and other project specific costs, which may or may not
be incorporated in the FTE rate. FTE contracts can run in one month increments, but typically have terms of six months or longer.
FTE contracts typically provide for annual adjustments in billing rates for the scientists assigned to the contract.
These contracts involve the Company’s
scientists providing services on a “best efforts” basis on a project that may involve a research component with a timeframe
or outcome that has some level of unpredictability. There are no fixed deliverables that must be met for payment as part of these
services. As such, the Company recognizes revenue under FTE contracts on a monthly basis as services are performed according to
the terms of the contract.
Time and Materials. Under
a time and materials contract, the Company charges customers an hourly rate plus reimbursement for chemicals and other project
specific costs. The Company recognizes revenue for time and material contracts based on the number of hours devoted to the project
multiplied by the customer’s billing rate plus other project specific costs incurred.
Recurring Royalty and Milestone Revenues
Recurring Royalty Revenue.
Recurring royalties have historically related to royalties under a license agreement with Sanofi based on the worldwide net
sales of fexofenadine HCl, marketed as Allegra in the Americas and Telfast elsewhere, as well as on sales of Sanofi’s authorized
or licensed generics and sales by certain authorized sub-licensees. These royalty payments ceased in May 2015 due to the expiration
of patents under the license agreement. The Company currently receives royalties in conjunction with a Development and Supply
Agreement with Allergan, plc (“Allergan”). These royalties are earned on net sales of generic products sold by Allergan.
The Company records royalty revenue in the period in which the net sales of this product occur. Royalty payments from Allergan
are due within 60 days after each calendar quarter and are determined based on sales of the qualifying products in that quarter.
The company also receives royalties on certain other products.
Up-Front License Fees and Milestone
Revenue. The Company recognizes revenue from up-front non-refundable licensing fees on a straight-line basis over the
period of the underlying project. The Company will recognize revenue arising from a substantive milestone payment upon the successful
achievement of the event, and the resolution of any uncertainties or contingencies regarding potential collection of the related
payment, or if appropriate over the remaining term of the agreement.
In 2014, the Company entered into development
and supply agreements with Genovi Pharmaceuticals Limited which have subsequently been transferred to HBT Labs, Inc. (“HBT”)
to manufacture select generic parenteral drug products for registration and subsequent commercialization in the U.S., Europe, and
select emerging markets.
Under the terms of these HBT Agreements,
the Company may receive milestone payments for each drug product candidate upon achievement of certain developments milestones
including technology transfer activities, analytical development activities, and manufacture of regulatory submission batches.
Following U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval, the Company will supply generic parenteral drug products to HBT pursuant
to the HBT Agreements and receive payments based on HBT's sales of such products.
The Company has determined these milestones
payments to be substantive milestones in accordance with ASC 605-28-25, “Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method”
(“ASC 605”). In evaluating these milestones, the Company considered the following:
|
· |
The Company considered each individual milestone to be commensurate with the enhanced value of the underlying licensed intellectual property or drug product candidate as they are advanced from the development stage to a commercialized product, and considered them to be reasonable when evaluated in relation to the total agreement consideration, including other milestones. |
|
· |
The milestones are deemed to relate solely to past performance, as each milestone is payable to the Company only after the achievement of the related event defined in the agreement, and is not refundable if additional future success events do not occur. |
For both the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, no milestone revenue was recognized by the Company.
Proprietary Drug Development Arrangements
The Company has discovered and conducted
the early development of several new drug candidates, with a view to out-licensing these candidates to partners for further development
in return for a potential combination of up-front license fees, milestone payments and recurring royalty payments if compounds
resulting from our intellectual property are successfully developed into new drugs and reach the market. The milestones included
in the Company’s current license arrangements would not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated operating
results, financial position, or cash flows.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted
Cash
Cash equivalents consist of money market
accounts and overnight deposits. For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Restricted cash balances at September 30,
2015 and December 31, 2014, are required as collateral for the letters of credit associated with our debt agreements.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the impairment of
a long-lived asset group whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors
the Company considers important that could trigger an impairment review include, among others, the following:
|
· |
a significant change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset group is being used; |
|
· |
a significant change in the business climate that could affect the value of a long-lived asset group; or |
|
· |
a significant decrease in the market value of assets. |
If the Company determines that the carrying
value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable, based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment,
the Company compares the carrying value of the asset group to the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset
group. If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is indicated. An impairment charge is recognized
to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value and will reduce only the carrying amounts of the
long-lived assets.
Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company accounts for derivatives in
accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, which establishes accounting and reporting standards
requiring that derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value.
Additionally, changes in a derivative’s fair value shall be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805):
Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”. ASU No. 2015-16 requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments
to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts
are determined and sets forth new disclosure requirements related to the adjustments. The new standard is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2015 and for interim periods therein with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this
ASU effective July 1, 2015.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying
the Measurement of Inventory.” This ASU simplifies the measurement of inventory by requiring certain inventory to be measured
at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2016 and for interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated
financial statements.
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, “Fair Value
Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”.
The ASU applies to entities that measure an investment’s fair value using the net asset per share (or an equivalent) practical
expedient, while the amendments of the ASU eliminate the requirement to classify the investment within the fair value hierarchy.
In addition, the requirement to make specific disclosures for all investments eligible to be assessed at fair value with the net
asset value per share practical expedient has been removed. Instead, such disclosures are restricted only to investments that the
entity has decided to measure using the practical expedient. The amendments in this ASU apply for fiscal years starting after December
15, 2015, and the interim periods within. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all periods offered, with early adoption
permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which updated guidance to clarify the required
presentation of debt issuance costs. The amended guidance requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance
sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the recognized debt liability, consistent with the treatment of debt discounts.
Amortization of debt issuance costs is to be reported as interest expense. The recognition and measurement guidance
for debt issuance costs are not affected by the updated guidance. The update requires retrospective application and represents
a change in accounting principles. The updated guidance is effective for reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this ASU in the third
quarter of 2015 and has reflected $10,856 and $4,085 as reduction of long-term debt at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014,
respectively. Previously, these costs were recorded as part of other assets.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation
- Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target
Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and
that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should
not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in
which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable
to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being
achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively
over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service
period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately
vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award
if the performance target is achieved. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact
on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue
from Contracts with Customers: (Topic 606)." This ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers
to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within
the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements
in ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition," and most industry-specific guidance. In addition, the existing requirements
for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (e.g.,
assets within the scope of ASC Topic 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment," and intangible assets within the scope of
ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other") are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement
(including the constraint on revenue) in this ASU. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue
to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09.
This ASU is now effective for calendar years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 — Earnings Per Share
The shares used in the computation of the
Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
| |
Three Months Ended September 30, | | |
Nine Months Ended September 30, | |
| |
2015 | | |
2014 | | |
2015 | | |
2014 | |
Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic and diluted | |
| 34,087 | | |
| 31,631 | | |
| 32,700 | | |
| 31,468 | |
The Company has excluded certain outstanding
stock options, non-vested restricted stock and warrants from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 because the net loss causes these amounts to be anti-dilutive. The weighted average number
of anti-dilutive common equivalents outstanding (before the effects of the treasury stock method) was 11,962 and 13,050 for the
three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 12,028 and 12,527 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015
and 2014, respectively. These amounts are not included in the calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding.
Note 3 – Business Acquisitions
On July 16, 2015 the Company completed the purchase of Gadea
Grupo Farmaceutico, S.L. (“Gadea”), a contract manufacturer of complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”)
and finished drug product. Gadea is expected to continue to operate independently within the Company's API and Drug Product
Manufacturing (“DPM”) segments. The preliminary estimated aggregate net purchase price is $140,745, which included
the issuance of 2,200 shares of common stock, valued at $43,745, with the balance comprised of $97,000 in cash. For the purposes
of these pro forma financial statements, the estimated aggregate purchase price has been preliminarily allocated based on an estimate
of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired as of the acquisition date. The allocation of acquisition consideration for
Gadea is based on estimates, assumptions, valuations and other studies which have not yet been finalized in order to make a definitive
allocation. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary aggregate purchase price to the estimated fair value
of the net assets acquired:

$ | 140,745 | |
The Company has attributed the goodwill
of $51,365 to an expanded global footprint and additional market opportunities that the Gadea business offers. The goodwill is
not deductible for tax purposes.
On January 8, 2015 the Company completed the purchase of all
of the outstanding equity interests of Aptuit's Glasgow, UK business (“Glasgow”) for total consideration of $23,952.
The Glasgow facility will extend the Company’s capabilities to sterile injectable drug product pre-formulation, formulation
and clinical stage manufacturing. Glasgow has been assigned to the DPM segment.
The following table summarizes the preliminary
allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the net assets acquired:

The goodwill of $13,816 is primarily attributed
to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition and is not deductible for tax purposes.
On February 13, 2015 the Company completed the purchase of assets
and assumed certain liabilities of Aptuit's Solid State Chemical Information/West Lafayette, Indiana business (“SSCI”)
for total consideration of $35,850. SSCI brings extensive material science knowledge and technology and expands the Company’s
capabilities in analytical testing to include peptides, proteins and oligonucleotides. SSCI has been assigned to the Discovery
and Development Services (“DDS”) segment.
The following table summarizes the preliminary
allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the net assets acquired:

The goodwill of $18,055 is primarily attributed
to the synergies expected to arise after the acquisition and is deductible for tax purposes.
For Gadea, final valuations will be completed
to determine the fair value of the acquired property and equipment and any identifiable intangibles, which may result in changes
to the above preliminary estimated fair values, as well as changes to the allocated goodwill. For both Glasgow and SSCI, the valuations
are considered to be preliminary as of September 30, 2015.
Revenue and operating income from Gadea
for the period ended July 16, 2015 to September 30, 2015 was $19,059 and $1,123, respectively.
Revenue and operating income from Glasgow
for the period January 9, 2015 to September 30, 2015 was $11,502 and $2,651, respectively. Revenue and operating income from SSCI
for the period ended February 13, 2015 to September 30, 2015 was $10,686 and $2,228, respectively.
The following table shows the unaudited
pro forma statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as if the Gadea,
Glasgow and SSCI acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2014. This pro forma information does not purport to represent what the
Company’s actual results would have been if the acquisitions had occurred as of the date indicated or what such results would
be for any future periods.

For the nine month periods ended September
30, 2015 and 2014, pre-tax net income was adjusted by reducing expenses by $985 for acquisition related costs and by increasing
expenses by $985 for acquisition related costs, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September
30, 2015 pre-tax net income was adjusted by increasing expenses by $144 and $2,346, respectively, for purchase accounting related
depreciation and amortization. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 pre-tax net income was adjusted by increasing
expenses by $1,566 and $4,697, respectively, for purchase accounting related depreciation and amortization.
For the nine months ended September 30,
2014, the estimated acquisitions accounting adjustment of $17,803 was included in cost of contract revenue to show the proforma
impact of the Gadea acquisition occurring on January 1, 2014. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, a pro forma
adjustment was made to reduce cost of revenue by $3,126.
The Company partially funded the acquisition
of Gadea utilizing the proceeds from a $200,000 term loan that was provided for in conjunction with a $230,000 senior secured credit
agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Barclays Bank PLC that was completed in July 2015 (see Note 5). The Company
did not have sufficient cash on hand to complete the acquisition as of January 1, 2014. For the purposes of presenting the pro
forma statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company has assumed that it
entered into a Credit Agreement on January 1, 2014 for an amount sufficient to fund the preliminary cash consideration to acquire
Gadea as of that date. The pro forma statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 reflect
the recognition of interest expense that would have been incurred on the Credit Agreement had it been entered into on January 1,
2014. The Company has recorded $520 and $7,921 of pro forma interest expense on the Credit Agreement for the purposes of presenting
the pro forma statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, and $3,057 and $9,171 for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
The Company funded the acquisitions of SSCI and Glasgow utilizing
the proceeds from a $75,000 senior secured credit agreement that was completed in October of 2014. The Company did not have sufficient
cash on hand to complete these acquisitions as of January 1, 2014. For the purposes of presenting the pro forma statement of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company has included the assumption of bridge financing as of January
1, 2014 to fund the acquisition of SSCI and Glasgow as of that date. The pro forma statement of operations for the three and nine
months reflects the recognition of interest expense on the assumed bridge financing for the period January 1, 2014 to September
30, 2014, using the rate of interest that the Company paid on its senior secured credit facility. For the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2015, pre-tax net income was adjusted by $0 and $98 of pro forma interest expense on the senior secured facility
to assume that the amount had been outstanding for the entire three and nine month periods. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2014, pre-tax net income was adjusted by $375 and $1,125 of pro forma interest expense on the senior secured facility.

Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
In April 2012, the Company entered into
a $20,000 credit facility consisting of a four-year, $5,000 term loan and a $15,000 revolving line of credit. In April 2014, the
Company utilized the balance of restricted cash to pay off the balance of the term loan, thereby eliminating the term loan liability.
In June 2014, the Company terminated the credit agreement while still maintaining the letters of credit, thus requiring the Company
to continue to maintain restricted cash to collateralize these letters of credit.
The balance required to be maintained as
restricted cash must be at least 110% of the maximum potential amount of the outstanding letters of credit. As of September
30, 2015, the Company had $2,111 of outstanding letters of credit secured by restricted cash of $2,963 and $960 of outstanding
letters of credit that were unsecured.
On October 24, 2014, the Company entered
into a $50,000 senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) consisting of a three-year, $50,000 revolving
credit facility, which includes a $15,000 sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $5,000 sublimit for swing
line loans. The Credit Agreement also included an accordion feature that, subject to securing additional commitments from existing
lenders or new lending institutions, would have allowed the Company to increase the aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement
by up to $10,000. On December 23, 2014, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the available commitment to $75,000, increasing
and using the accordion feature in its entirety (“Amendment No 1. to Credit Agreement”).
On July 16, 2015, the Company entered into
an Amendment and Restatement to the Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”). The Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement permitted the Company to repay the entire outstanding principal outstanding under Amendment No. 1 to
Credit Agreement and to apply that prepayment on a non-pro rata basis among the lenders under Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement.
The Company used the proceeds from borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to repay the entire outstanding principal
outstanding under the Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement on July 16, 2015 and amended the Credit Agreement.
On August 19, 2015, the Company entered
into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Restated Credit Agreement”) with Barclays Bank PLC,
as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, and the other lenders party thereto.
The Second Restated Credit Agreement, increases
the aggregate commitments under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by up to $50,000 (plus, to the extent utilized to effect
an increase in the revolving credit facility an additional $20,000), plus an unlimited amount subject to compliance with a pro
forma secured leverage ratio. The borrowings under the Second Restated Credit Agreement are prepayable at the option of the Company,
subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium in certain circumstances if prepaid within the first twelve months after the date of the
Second Restated Credit Agreement, and otherwise without premium or penalty (other than customary brokerage costs for Eurodollar
loans).
The Second Restated Credit Agreement, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth therein, provides for a $200,000 five-year term loan and a $30,000 five-year revolving credit
facility, which includes a $10,000 sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $5,000 sublimit for swingline loans.
The Company used a portion of the proceeds to fund the acquisition of Gadea and expects to use future borrowings under the Second
Restated Credit Agreement for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in the Second Restated Credit Agreement.
At the Company’s election, term loans
made under the Second Restated Credit Agreement initially bear interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined below) plus
4.75% or the Base Rate (as defined below) plus 3.75%. Upon achievement of a certain senior secured leverage ratio, the rates will
step down to 4.50% and 3.50%, respectively. The Base Rate means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest
of (i) the federal funds rate plus ½ of 1.00%, (ii) the prime rate in effect on such day and (iii) the Adjusted Eurodollar
Rate for a one month interest period beginning on such day (or, if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business
day) plus 1.00%; provided that, in the case of the term loans, the Base Rate shall at all times be deemed to be not less than the
2.00%. The Adjusted Eurodollar Rate means for the interest period for each Eurodollar loan comprising part of the same group, the
quotient obtained (expressed as a decimal, carried out to five decimal places) by dividing (i) the applicable Eurodollar rate for
such interest period by (ii) 1.00% minus the Eurodollar reserve percentage; provided that, in the case of the term loans only,
the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall at all times be deemed to be not less than 1.00%.
The Second Restated Credit Agreement includes
a springing maturity provision such that the loans under the Second Restated Credit Agreement will mature six months prior to the
maturity date of the Notes if more than $25,000 of the Notes (as defined below) are outstanding and the secured leverage ratio
is greater than 1.50 to 1.00 on such date.
The borrowings under the Second Restated
Credit Agreement are prepayable at the option of the Company, subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium in certain circumstances if
prepaid within the first twelve months, and otherwise without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs for Eurodollar
loans). Amounts prepaid under the term loan facility are not available for reborrowing, but amounts prepaid under the revolving
credit facility are available for reborrowing unless the Company decides to permanently reduce the commitments under the revolving
credit facility, subject to the terms and conditions of the Second Restated Credit Agreement.
The obligations under the Second Restated
Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company (each a “Guarantor”) and are secured
by first priority liens on, and security interests in, substantially all of the present and after-acquired assets of the Company
and each Guarantor subject to certain customary exceptions.
The Second Restated Credit Agreement contains
customary representations and warranties relating to the Company and its subsidiaries. The Second Restated Credit Agreement also
contains certain affirmative and negative covenants including negative covenants that limit or restrict, among other things, liens,
indebtedness, investments and acquisitions, mergers and fundamental changes, asset sales, restricted payments, changes in the nature
of the business, transactions with affiliates and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The Second Restated
Credit Agreement is also subject to certain customary “Market Flex” provisions, which, if utilized, could alter certain
of the terms.

Convertible Senior Notes
On December 4, 2013, the Company completed
a private offering of $150,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.25% Cash Convertible Senior Notes (the “Notes”), between
the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. The Notes mature on November 15, 2018, unless earlier
repurchased or converted into cash in accordance with their terms prior to such date and interest is paid in arrears semiannually
on each May 15 and November 15 at an annual rate of 2.25% beginning on May 15, 2014. The Notes were offered and sold only to qualified
institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
The Notes are not convertible into the
Company's common stock or any other securities under any circumstances. Holders may convert their Notes solely into cash at their
option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding May 15, 2018 only under the following
circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2013 (and only during
such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or
not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar
quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day
period after any five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per thousand dollars principal amount of Notes
for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company's
common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or
after May 15, 2018 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders
may convert their Notes solely into cash at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, in lieu of receiving
shares of the Company's common stock, a holder will receive, per thousand dollars principal amount of Notes, an amount in cash
equal to the settlement amount, determined in the manner set forth in the indenture. The initial conversion rate is 63.9844 shares
of the Company's common stock per thousand dollars principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately
$15.63 per share of common stock). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in some events as described in the Indenture but
will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the
maturity date, the Company has agreed to pay a cash make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate for a holder who elects
to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event in certain circumstances as described in the indenture.
The Company may not redeem the Notes prior
to the maturity date, and no sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
The cash conversion feature of the Notes
(“Notes Conversion Derivative”) requires bifurcation from the Notes in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Derivatives
and Hedging, and is accounted for as a derivative liability. The fair value of the Notes Conversion Derivative at the time
of issuance of the Notes was $33,600 and was recorded as original debt discount for purposes of accounting for the debt component
of the Notes. This discount is amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Notes. For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $1,572 and $4,628, respectively, of amortization of the
debt discount as interest expense based upon an effective rate of 7.69%.
The components of the Notes were as follows:
| |
September 30, 2015 | | |
December 31, 2014 | |
Principal amount | |
$ | 150,000 | | |
$ | 150,000 | |

| 22,675 | | |
| 27,304 | |
Net carrying amount of Notes | |
$ | 127,325 | | |
$ | 122,696 | |
In connection with the pricing of the Notes,
on November 19, 2013, the Company entered into cash convertible note hedge transactions (“Notes Hedges”) relating to
a notional number of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the Notes to be issued by the Company with two counterparties
(the "Option Counterparties"). The Notes Hedges, which are cash-settled, are intended to reduce the Company’s exposure
to potential cash payments that we are required to make upon conversion of the Notes in excess of the principal amount of converted
notes if our common stock price exceeds the conversion price. The Notes Hedges are accounted for as a derivative instrument in
accordance with ASC Topic 815. The aggregate cost of the note hedge transaction was $33,600.
At the same time, the Company also entered
into separate warrant transactions with each of the Option Counterparties initially relating, in the aggregate, to 9,598 shares
of the Company's common stock underlying the note hedge transactions. The cash convertible Note Hedges are intended to offset cash
payments due upon any conversion of the Notes. However, the warrant transactions could separately have a dilutive effect to the
extent that the market price per share of the Company's common stock (as measured under the terms of the warrant transactions)
exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. The initial strike price of the warrants is $18.9440 per share, which was
60% above the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock of $11.84 on November 19, 2013 and proceeds of $23,100 were
received from the Option Counterparties from the sale of the warrants.
Aside from the initial payment of a $33,600
premium to the Option Counterparties, the Company is not required to make any cash payments to the Option Counterparties under
the Note Hedges and will be entitled to receive from the Option Counterparties an amount of cash, generally equal to the amount
by which the market price per share of common stock exceeds the strike price of the Note Hedges during the relevant valuation period.
The strike price under the Note Hedges is initially equal to the conversion price of the Notes. Additionally, if the market price
per share of the Company's common stock, as measured under the warrant transactions, exceeds the strike price of the warrants during
the measurement period at the maturity of the warrants, the Company will be obligated to issue to the Option Counterparties a number
of shares of the Company's common stock in an amount based on the excess of such market price per share of the Company's common
stock over the strike price of the warrants. The Company will not receive any proceeds if the warrants are exercised.
Neither the Notes Conversion Derivative
nor the Notes Hedges qualify for hedge accounting, thus any changes in the fair market value of the derivatives is recognized immediately
in the statement of operations. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the changes in fair market value of the Notes Conversion
Derivative and the Notes Hedges were equal, therefore there was no change in fair market value that was recognized in the statement
of operations.
The following table summarizes the fair
value and the presentation in the consolidated balance sheet:

Note 6 — Restructuring
and Impairment
In April 2015, the Company announced a
restructuring plan with respect to certain operations in the UK, within its API business segment. In connection with the restructuring
plan, the Company expects to cease all operations at its Holywell, UK facility effective in the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company
recorded $253 and $2,729 in charges for reduction in force and termination benefits related to the UK facility during the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. In conjunction with the Company’s actions to cease operations at
its Holywell, UK facility, the Company also recorded property and equipment impairment charges of $540 and $3,090 in the API segment
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. These charges are included under the caption “impairment charges”
on the consolidated statement of operations. Equipment that will not be transferred or recovered through sale is subject to accelerated
depreciation over the remaining operating period of the facility.
In the third quarter of 2014, the Company
recorded restructuring charges related to optimizing the Singapore facility’s footprint. In April 2014, the Company announced
a restructuring plan transitioning Discovery and Development Services (“DDS”) activities at its Syracuse, NY site to
other sites within the Company and ceased operations in Syracuse, NY at the end of June 2014. The actions taken are consistent
with the Company’s ongoing efforts to consolidate its facility resources to more effectively utilize its DDS resource pool
and to further reduce its facility cost structure.
Restructuring charges for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $709 and $3,828, respectively, consisting primarily of UK termination charges and costs
associated with the transfer of continuing products from the Holywell, UK facility to our other manufacturing locations as well
as, lease termination and other charges associated with the previously announced restructuring at the Company’s Syracuse,
NY facility.

Note 11 — Legal Proceedings and Other
The Company, from time to time, may be
involved in various claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Except as noted below, the Company
is not currently a party to any such claims or proceedings which, if decided adversely to the Company, would either individually
or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations
or cash flows.
On November 12, 2014, a purported class
action lawsuit, John Gauquie v. Albany Molecular Research, Inc., et al., No. 14-cv-6637, was filed against the Company and
certain of its current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The
complaint alleges claims under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 arising from the Company’s August 5, 2014 announcement
of its financial results for the second quarter of 2014, including that the OsoBio New Mexico facility experienced a power interruption
in July 2014, which would have a material impact on the Company’s results. The complaint alleges that the price of
the Company’s stock was artificially inflated between August 5, 2014 and November 5, 2014, and seeks certification as a class
action, unspecified monetary damages and attorneys’ fees and costs. The complaint was amended on March 31, 2015 to request
certification of a class of investors during the period between August 5, 2014 and November 5, 2014. On October 2, 2015, the Company
submitted a motion to dismiss the complaint, as amended.
Insurance Recovery
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company received a business
interruption insurance recovery of $600, relating to the OsoBio facility. This amount was recorded as Other income in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has submitted additional claims related to this event, which are currently under
evaluation by the carrier. The ultimate outcome of the claims are unknown at this time.
Note 12 – Fair Value
The Company uses a framework for measuring
fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and making disclosures about fair value measurements. A three-tiered
fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value.
These tiers include:
Level 1 – defined as quoted prices
in active markets for identical instruments;
Level 2 – defined as inputs other
than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level 3 – defined as unobservable
inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company determines the fair value of
its financial instruments using the following methods and assumptions:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted
cash, receivables, and accounts payable: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate
their fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.
Convertible senior notes, derivatives and hedging instruments:
The fair values of the Company’s Notes, which differ from their carrying values, are influenced by interest rates and the
Company's stock price and stock price volatility and are determined by prices for the Notes observed in market trading, which are
level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of the Notes at September 30, 2015 was $184,500. The Notes Hedges and the Notes Conversion
Derivative are measured at fair value using level 2 inputs. These instruments are not actively traded and are valued using an option
pricing model that uses observable market data for all inputs, such as implied volatility of the Company's common stock, risk-free
interest rate and other factors.
Interest rate swaps
At September 30, 2015, the Company had contracted a derivative
financial instrument to reduce the impact of fluctuations in variable interest rates on a loan that a financial institution granted
in February 2015, which is a level 2 input. The estimated fair value of the swap at September 30, 2015 was $39. The Company hedges
the interest the risk of the initial amount of the aforementioned bank loan through an interest rate swap. In this arrangement,
the interest rates are exchanged so that the Company receives from the financial institution a variable rate of the 3-month Euribor,
in exchange for a fixed interest payment for the same nominal (0.3%). The variable interest rate received for the derivative offsets
the interest payment on the hedged transaction, with the end result being a fixed interest payment on the hedged financing. At
September 30, 2015, the derivative financial instrument had not been designated as a hedge.
To determine the fair value of the interest rate swap, the Company
uses cash flow discounting based on the implicit rates determined by the euro interest rate curve, according to market conditions
at the valuation date.

Note 14 – Employee Benefit Plans
In the first quarter of 2014, the union
ratified an action to settle the medical component of the post-retirement plan, significantly reducing the level of benefits available
to the participants. As a result, the Company recorded $1,285 of operating income in the first quarter of 2014 due to the settlement
of this obligation.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview
We are a leading
global contract research and manufacturing organization providing customers fully integrated drug discovery, development, and manufacturing
services. We supply a broad range of services and technologies supporting the discovery and development of pharmaceutical products,
the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and the manufacturing of drug product for new and generic drugs, as well
as research, development and manufacturing for the agrochemical and other industries. With locations in the United States, Europe,
and Asia, we maintain geographic proximity to our customers and flexible cost models.
We continue to integrate our research and
manufacturing facilities worldwide, increasing our access to key global markets and enabling us to provide our customers with a
flexible combination of high quality services and competitive cost structures to meet their individual outsourcing needs.
Our service offerings range from early stage discovery through formulation and manufacturing. We believe that the ability to partner
with a single provider is of significant benefit to our customers as we are able to provide them with a more efficient transition
of experimental compounds through the research and development process, ultimately reducing the time and cost involved in bringing
these compounds from concept to market. Compounds discovered and/or developed in our contract research facilities can then be more
easily transitioned to production at our large-scale manufacturing facilities for use in clinical trials and, ultimately, commercial
sales if the product meets regulatory approval.
In addition to providing an integrated
services model for outsourcing, we offer our customers the option of insourcing. With our world class expertise in managing high
performing groups of scientists, this option allows us to embed our scientists into the customer’s facility allowing the
customer to cost-effectively leverage their unused laboratory space.
As our customers continue to seek innovative
new strategies for R&D efficiency and productivity, we are aggressively realigning our business and resources to address their
needs. We use a cross-functional approach that maximizes the strengths of both insourcing and outsourcing, by leveraging the Company’s
people, know-how, facilities, expertise and global project management to provide exactly what is needed across the discovery, development
or manufacturing process. We have also streamlined our sales and marketing organization to optimize cross-selling opportunities
and have enhanced our commitment to quality with the appointment of key personnel, underscoring our dedication to client service.
Our improved organizational structure, combined with more focused marketing efforts, should enable us to continue to drive long
term growth and profitability.
Over the last few years, we have implemented
a number of organizational and rationalization initiatives and acquired new businesses to better align our operations to most efficiently
support our customer’s needs and grow our revenue and overall profitability. The goal of these restructuring activities has
been to advance our strategy of increasing global competitiveness and managing costs by aligning resources to meet shifting customer
demand and market preferences, while optimizing our location footprint. Our acquisitions enhance and complement our existing service
offerings and are expected to contribute to our growth.
We may consider additional acquisitions
that enhance or complement our existing service offerings. In addition to growing organically, any acquisitions would generally
be expected to contribute to AMRI’s growth by integrating with and expanding our current services, or adding services within
the drug discovery, development and manufacturing life cycle. During 2015, we have entered into acquisition transactions with Gadea
in July, SSCI in February and Glasgow in January that contributed to our results of operations and will continue to contribute
to our future operations.
Our backlog of open manufacturing orders
and accepted service contracts was $190.3 million at September 30, 2015 as compared to $151.1 million at September 30, 2014. Our
manufacturing and services contracts are completed over varying durations, from short to extended periods of time.
We believe our aggregate backlog as of
any date is not necessarily a meaningful indicator of our future results for a variety of reasons. First, contracts vary in duration,
and therefore the timing and amount of revenues recognized from backlog can vary from period to period. Second, the Company’s
manufacturing and services contracts are of a nature that a customer may, at its option, cancel or delay the timing of delivery,
which would change our projections concerning the timing and extent to which revenue may be recognized. In addition, the value
of the Company’s services contracts that are conducted on a time and materials or full-time equivalent basis are based on
estimates, from which actual revenue generated could vary. Finally, there is no assurance that projects included in backlog will
not be terminated or delayed at any time by customers or regulatory authorities. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be
able to realize all or most of the net revenues included in backlog or estimate the portion to be filled in the current year.
Results of Operations – Three
and Nine Months ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Our total revenue for the quarter ended
September 30, 2015 was $104.6 million, which included $101.4 million from our contract service business and $3.2 million from royalties
on sales of certain products. Consolidated gross margin was 20.9% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 as compared to 1.9%
for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Our net loss was $4.2 million and $4.1 million during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2015, respectively.
During the nine months ended September
30, 2015, cash provided by operations was $38.5 million compared to cash provided by operations of $3.9 million for the same period
of 2014. The increase in cash provided by operations was primarily driven by improvements in working capital management during
the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we spent $13.7 million on capital expenditures, primarily related
to growth and maintenance of our existing facilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we spent $23.9 million to
acquire Glasgow, $35.8 million to acquire SSCI and $86.0 (net of cash acquired) to acquire Gadea.
Operating Segment Data
We’ve organized our operations into
the Discovery and Development Services (“DDS”), API (“API”) and Drug Product Manufacturing (“DPM”)
segments. DDS includes activities such as drug lead discovery, optimization, drug development and small scale commercial manufacturing.
API includes pilot to commercial scale manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates and high potency and
controlled substance manufacturing. DPM includes pre-formulation, formulation and process development through commercial scale
production of complex liquid-filled and lyophilized injectable formulations. Corporate activities include sales and marketing and
administrative functions, as well as research and development costs that have not been allocated to the operating segments.
A portion of 2014 contract revenue and
cost of revenue was reclassified from DDS to API to better align with the business activities within our reporting segments.

DDS contract revenue for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased primarily due to incremental revenue from our acquisition of the SSCI business in
February 2015, which provided $4.6 million and $10.7 million, respectively, and increased demand in our U.S. small scale development
and U.S. chemistry services. We currently expect DDS revenue for full year 2015 to increase from amounts in 2014 driven by improved
facility utilization at all of our sites as well as incremental revenue from our acquisition of SSCI.
API contract revenue for the three months
ended September 30, 2015 increased primarily from our acquisition of Gadea in July 2015, which provided incremental revenues of
$17.8 million, increased demand of our commercial and clinical manufacturing services in the U.S and improved pricing. API contract
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased from 2014 primarily due to $5.0 million of incremental revenue from
the Cedarburg acquisition which we completed in April 2014, incremental revenues from our acquisition of Gadea, increased demand
at our commercial and clinical manufacturing services in the U.S. and improved pricing. We currently expect continued growth in
API contract revenue for full year 2015 due to on-going demand for our commercial and clinical manufacturing services worldwide,
a full year of revenue from Cedarburg and incremental revenue from our acquisitions of Gadea.
DPM contract revenue for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased from 2014 due to $6.5 and $31.0 million, respectively, in incremental revenue from
the July 2014 acquisition of OsoBio, $4.1 and $11.5 million, respectively, from our acquisition of the Glasgow, U.K. facility in
January 2015, and increased demand at our Burlington, MA facility. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2014, DPM contract
revenues at OsoBio were impacted due to a business interruption at the Albuquerque facility. We currently expect continued growth
in DPM contract revenue for full year 2015 due to a full year of revenue from OsoBio, the incremental revenue from our Glasgow,
U.K. facility and continued demand at our Burlington, MA facility and incremental revenue from our acquisition of Gadea in July
2015.

Our recurring royalties consist of worldwide
sales of Allegra/Telfast and Sanofi over-the-counter product and authorized generics. Additionally, we earn recurring royalty revenue
in conjunction with a Development and Supply Agreement with Allergan. During the third quarter of 2015, we began earning royalties
under an agreement with a customer of Gadea. Recurring royalties decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30,
2015 as compared to 2014 as a result of patent expirations associated with Allegra/Telfast during the second quarter of 2015. These
amounts were partially offset by an increase in the other royalties during the periods. We currently expect full year 2015 recurring
royalties to decline due to the expiration of the patents underlying the Allegra royalties in the second quarter of 2015.
The recurring royalties on the sales of
Allegra/Telfast have historically provided a material portion of our revenues, earnings and operating cash flows. All patents covered
by our license agreements have expired during the second quarter of 2015, and we will not receive any additional royalties on the
sales of fexofenadine product in future periods. We continue to develop our business in an effort to supplement the revenues, earnings
and operating cash flows that have historically been provided by Allegra/Telfast royalties.
Costs and Expenses
Cost of contract revenue
Cost of contract revenue consists of compensation and associated
fringe benefits for employees, chemicals, depreciation and other indirect project related costs. Cost of contract revenue for our
DDS, API and DPM segments were as follows:

DDS contract revenue gross margin percentage
increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014. This increase is primarily
due to cost reduction initiatives and facility optimization and also due to the addition of higher margin revenues at our SSCI
facility. We currently expect DDS contract margin for full year 2015 to improve over amounts recognized in full year 2014 primarily
due to the full year benefit of previous cost reduction initiatives and facility optimization as well as higher margin revenues
from our acquisition of SSCI.
API
contract revenue gross margin percentages increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same
periods in 2014 due our acquisition of Gadea in July of 2015 and higher margin commercial sales, a portion of which is attributable
to a retroactive price adjustment which was effective in the third quarter of 2015. We
currently expect improvement in API contract margins for full year 2015 over amounts recognized in 2014 driven by these factors
and increases in capacity utilization at all of our large-scale facilities worldwide.
DPM contract revenue gross margin percentage
increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to the addition
of revenue from OsoBio, which was acquired in July 2014, the benefit of the Glasgow business acquired in January 2015 and increased
utilization at our Burlington, MA facility. Additionally, during the third quarter of 2014, DPM gross margins at OsoBio were impacted
due to a business interruption at the Albuquerque facility. We currently expect continued improvement in DPM contract margins for
full year 2015 driven by these factors and also by increased overall capacity utilization.
Technology incentive award
We maintain a Technology Development Incentive
Plan, the purpose of which is to stimulate and encourage novel innovative technology developments by our employees. This plan allows
eligible participants to share in a percentage of the net revenue earned by us relating to patented technology with respect to
which the eligible participant is named as an inventor or made a significant intellectual contribution. To date, the royalties
from Allegra are the main driver of the awards. These royalties from Allegra ceased during the second quarter of 2015 due to the
expiration of underlying patents. The incentive awards were as follows:

Technology incentive award expense decreased
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to the same periods in the prior year due to the decrease in
Allegra recurring royalty revenue as discussed above.
Research and development
Research and development (“R&D”)
expense consists of compensation and benefits for scientific personnel for work performed on proprietary technology R&D projects,
costs of chemicals, materials, outsourced activities and other out of pocket costs and overhead costs.
Our R&D activities are primarily accounted
for in our API segment and relate to the potential manufacture of new products, the development of processes for the manufacture
of generic products with commercial potential, and the development of alternative manufacturing processes.
Research and development expenses were as follows:

R&D expense for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2015 increased compared to the same periods in 2014 relating primarily to development efforts towards
new niche generic products. We currently expect full year 2015 R&D expense to be higher than 2014 in line with our strategy
and due to our acquisition of Gadea.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”)
expenses consist of compensation and related fringe benefits for sales, marketing, operational and administrative employees, professional
service fees, marketing costs and costs related to facilities and information services. SG&A expenses were as follows:

SG&A expenses for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2015 increased compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to costs associated with investments
made to grow the business, merger and acquisition activities, including the acquisitions of Glasgow, SSCI and Gadea, full period
SG&A costs from our OsoBio and Cedarburg facilities, as well as incremental SG&A costs, including amortization of identifiable
intangible assets, from the acquired businesses. We currently expect SG&A expenses for full year 2015 to increase due to a
full year of operations at our Cedarburg and OsoBio locations and incremental costs as a result of the acquisitions of Glasgow
and SSCI in early 2015 and Gadea in July 2015, but to remain relatively consistent as a percentage of revenue when compared to
2014.

In the first quarter of 2015, we announced a proposal, subject
to consultation with our U.K. workforce, to close our U.K. facility in Holywell, Wales, within the API segment. Following the consultation
process, on April 2, 2015, we announced a restructuring plan and expectation to cease operations at the Holywell, U.K. facility
by the fourth quarter of 2015. These actions taken are consistent with our ongoing efforts to consolidate our facility resources
to more effectively utilize our resource pool and to further reduce our facility cost structure.
Restructuring charges for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2015 consisted primarily of U.K. termination charges and costs associated with the transfer of
continuing products from the Holywell, U.K. facility to our other manufacturing locations as well as lease termination and other
charges associated with the previously announced restructuring at our Syracuse, NY facility.
Restructuring charges for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2014 consisted primarily of charges related to optimizing the Singapore facility’s footprint
and of termination benefits and personnel realignment costs associated with the Syracuse, NY site.

In the third quarter of 2014, we recorded
property and equipment charges of $1.2 million in our DDS segment associated with the Company’s consolidation of facility
resources at our Singapore site. In the second quarter of 2014, we recorded property and equipment charges of $3.7 million in our
DDS segment associated with the Company’s decision to cease operations at our Syracuse, New York facility.

Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2015 increased as compared to the same periods in 2014 due to a reversal in 2014 of a valuation allowance in on a new operating
loss deferred tax asset for the Company’s U.K. operations of $2.8 million due to a change in estimate regarding the recoverability
of those assets resulting from improved profitability.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically funded our business
through operating cash flows and proceeds from borrowings. As of September 30, 2015, we had $82.4 million in cash, cash equivalents,
and restricted cash and $394.9 million in bank and other related debt.
During the first nine months of 2015, we
generated cash of $38.5 million from operating activities, compared to cash provided by operations of $3.9 million during the same
period in 2014. The increase was primarily driven by improvements in working capital accounts during 2015.
During the nine months ended September
30, 2015, cash used in investing activities was $159.3 million, resulting primarily from the use of $86.0 million in cash (net
of cash acquired and debt assumed) to acquire Gadea, $35.8 million in cash to acquire SSCI, $23.9 million to acquire the facility
in Glasgow, U.K., and $13.7 million used for the acquisition of property and equipment. Additionally, during the nine months ended
September 30, 2015, we generated cash of $155.0 million from financing activities, relating primarily from borrowings on our credit
facility and proceeds from stock issuances resulting from exercises of stock options and employee stock purchase plan purchases.
Working capital, defined as current assets
less current liabilities, was $204.1 million at September 30, 2015 as compared to $142.3 million as of December 31, 2014. This
increase primarily relates to increased inventory and accounts receivable levels associated with the companies acquired in 2015.
Term Loan
and Revolving Credit Facility
In April 2012, the Company entered into
a $20.0 million credit facility consisting of a four-year, $5.0 million term loan and a $15.0 million revolving line of credit.
In April 2014, we utilized the balance of restricted cash to pay off the balance of the term loan, thereby eliminating the term
loan liability. In June 2014, we terminated the credit agreement while still maintaining the letters of credit, thus requiring
us to continue to maintain restricted cash to collateralize these letters of credit.
The balance required to be maintained as
restricted cash must be at least 110% of the maximum potential amount of the outstanding letters of credit. As of September
30, 2015, the Company had $2.1 million of outstanding letters of credit secured by restricted cash of $2.9 million and $0.96 million
of outstanding letters of credit that were unsecured.
On October 24, 2014, the Company entered
into a $50.0 million senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) consisting of a three-year, $50.0 million
revolving credit facility, which includes a $15.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $5.0 million
sublimit for swing line loans. The Credit Agreement also included an accordion feature that, subject to securing additional commitments
from existing lenders or new lending institutions, would have allowed us to increase the aggregate commitments under the Credit
Agreement by up to $10.0 million. On December 23, 2014, the Credit Agreement was amended to increase the available commitment to
$75.0 million, increasing and using the accordion feature in its entirety (“Amendment No 1. to the Credit Agreement”).
On July 16, 2015, we entered into an Amendment and Restatement to the Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement permitted the Company to repay the entire outstanding principal outstanding
under Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement and to apply that prepayment on a non-pro rata basis among the lenders under Amendment
No. 1 to Credit Agreement. The proceeds from borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were used to repay the
entire outstanding principal outstanding under the Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement on July 16, 2015 and amended the Credit
Agreement.
On August 19, 2015, the Company entered
into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Second Restated Credit Agreement”) with Barclays Bank PLC,
as Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, and the other lenders party thereto.
The Second Restated Credit Agreement, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth therein, provides for a $200 million six-year term loan and a $30.0 million five-year revolving
credit facility, which includes a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $5.0 million sublimit
for swingline loans. We expect to use the proceeds of any borrowings under the Second Restated Credit Agreement for working capital
and other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Second Restated Credit Agreement.
The Second Restated Credit Agreement, subject
to the terms and conditions set forth therein, provides for a $200.0 million five-year term loan and a $30.0 million five-year
revolving credit facility, which includes a $10.0 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit and a $5.0 million
sublimit for swingline loans. The Company used a portion of the proceeds to fund the acquisition of Gadea and expects to use future
borrowings under the Second Restated Credit Agreement for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company and
its subsidiaries, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Second Restated Credit Agreement.
At the Company’s election, term loans
made under the Second Restated Credit Agreement initially bear interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined below) plus
4.75% or the Base Rate (as defined below) plus 3.75%. Upon achievement of a certain senior secured leverage ratio, the rates will
step down to 4.50% and 3.50%, respectively. The Base Rate means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest
of (i) the federal funds rate plus ½ of 1.00%, (ii) the prime rate in effect on such day and (iii) the Adjusted Eurodollar
Rate for a one month interest period beginning on such day (or, if such day is not a business day, the immediately preceding business
day) plus 1.00%; provided that, in the case of the term loans, the Base Rate shall at all times be deemed to be not less than the
2.00%. The Adjusted Eurodollar Rate means for the interest period for each Eurodollar loan comprising part of the same group, the
quotient obtained (expressed as a decimal, carried out to five decimal places) by dividing (i) the applicable Eurodollar rate for
such interest period by (ii) 1.00% minus the Eurodollar reserve percentage; provided that, in the case of the term loans only,
the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall at all times be deemed to be not less than 1.00%.
The Second Restated Credit Agreement includes
a springing maturity provision such that the loans under the Second Restated Credit Agreement will mature six months prior to the
maturity date of the Notes (as defined below) if more than $25 million of the Notes are outstanding and the secured leverage ratio
is greater than 1.50 to 1.00 on such date.
The borrowings under the Second Amended
Credit Agreement are prepayable at our option, subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium in certain circumstances if prepaid within
the first twelve months, and otherwise without premium or penalty (other than customary breakage costs for Eurodollar loans). Amounts
prepaid under the term loan facility are not available for reborrowing, but amounts prepaid under the revolving credit facility
are available for reborrowing unless we decide to permanently reduce the commitments under the revolving credit facility, subject
to the terms and conditions of the Second Restated Credit Agreement.
The obligations under the Second Restated
Credit Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries (each a “Guarantor”) and are secured by first
priority liens on, and security interests in, substantially all of the present and after-acquired assets of ours and each Guarantor
subject to certain customary exceptions.
The Second Restated Credit Agreement contains
customary representations and warranties relating to us and our subsidiaries. The Second Restated Credit Agreement also contains
certain affirmative and negative covenants including negative covenants that limit or restrict, among other things, liens, indebtedness,
investments and acquisitions, mergers and fundamental changes, asset sales, restricted payments, changes in the nature of the business,
transactions with affiliates and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The Second Restated Credit Agreement
is also subject to certain customary “Market Flex” provisions, which, if utilized, could alter certain of the terms.
Convertible
Senior Notes
On December 4, 2013, we completed a private
offering of 2.25% Cash Convertible Senior Notes (the “Notes”), in the aggregate principal amount of $150 million, between
us and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. The Notes mature on November 15, 2018, unless earlier repurchased
or converted into cash in accordance with their terms prior to such date, and interest is paid in arrears semiannually on each
May 15 and November 15 at an annual rate of 2.25% beginning on May 15, 2014. The Notes were offered and sold only to qualified
institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").
The Notes are not convertible into our
common stock or any other securities under any circumstances. Holders may convert their Notes solely into cash at their option
at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding May 15, 2018 only under the following circumstances:
(1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on December 31, 2013 (and only during such calendar
quarter), if the last reported sale price of the our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during
a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater
than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any
five consecutive trading day period in which the trading price per thousand dollars principal amount of Notes for each trading
day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the our common stock and the
conversion rate on each such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events. On or after May 15, 2018 until
the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Notes
solely into cash at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. Upon conversion, in lieu of receiving shares of our common
stock, a holder will receive, per thousand dollars principal amount of Notes, an amount in cash equal to the settlement amount,
determined in the manner set forth in the indenture. The initial conversion rate is 63.9844 shares of our common stock per thousand
dollars principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $15.63 per share of common stock).
The conversion rate is subject to adjustment in some events as described in the Indenture but will not be adjusted for any accrued
and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date, we have agreed to pay
a cash make-whole premium by increasing the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such
a corporate event in certain circumstances as described in the indenture.
We may not redeem the Notes prior to the
maturity date, and no sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

All of the above loans bear interest at
a rate equivalent to the Euribor plus a market spread, with the exception of the Banco Santander, S.A. loan – February 2020,
which bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 1.5%. The range of interest rates for the above loans is 1.48% to 2.21%. In the
event the Banco Santander S.A loan – 2020 is repaid early, the Company must pay the financial institution an amount in compensation
for any financial losses it suffers as a result of the early repayment, based on a pre-established formula. As of September 30,
2015, the Company does not intend to repay this loan early.
Loans granted by public bodies

The disclosure of payments we have committed
to make under our contractual obligations is set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” under Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. Outside of the borrowings on our senior secured credit agreement (the “Amended
Credit Agreement”) as discussed under the liquidity section, we have identified additional obligations in the following table
as a result of our acquisitions of SSCI, Glasgow and Gadea. As of September 30, 2015, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements
as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-K.

We expect that additional future capital
expansion and acquisition activities, if any, could be funded with cash on hand, cash from operations, borrowings under our credit
facility and/or the issuance of equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that attractive acquisition opportunities
will be available to us or will be available at prices and upon such other terms that are attractive to us. We regularly evaluate
potential acquisitions of other businesses, products and product lines and may hold discussions regarding such potential acquisitions.
In addition, in order to meet our long-term liquidity needs or consummate future acquisitions, we may incur additional indebtedness
or issue additional equity or debt securities, subject to market and other conditions. There can be no assurance that such additional
financing will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. The failure to raise the funds necessary to finance our future
cash requirements or consummate future acquisitions could adversely affect our ability to pursue our strategy and could negatively
affect our operations in future periods.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to business combinations,
inventories, goodwill and intangibles, other long-lived assets, derivative instruments and hedging activities, pension and postretirement
benefit plans, income taxes and contingencies, among other effects. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various
other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We refer to the policies and estimates
set forth in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations —
Critical Accounting Estimates” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. There have
been no material changes or modifications to the policies since December 31, 2014.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805):
Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”. ASU No. 2015-16 requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments
to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts
are determined and sets forth new disclosure requirements related to the adjustments. The new standard is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2015 and for interim periods therein with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this
ASU effective July 1, 2015.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11,
“Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.” This ASU simplifies the measurement of inventory by requiring certain
inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2016 and for interim periods therein. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will
have on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, “Fair Value
Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”.
The ASU applies to entities that measure an investment’s fair value using the net asset per share (or an equivalent) practical
expedient, while the amendments of the ASU eliminate the requirement to classify the investment within the fair value hierarchy.
In addition, the requirement to make specific disclosures for all investments eligible to be assessed at fair value with the net
asset value per share practical expedient has been removed. Instead, such disclosures are restricted only to investments that the
entity has decided to measure using the practical expedient. The amendments in this ASU apply for fiscal years starting after December
15, 2015, and the interim periods within. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively to all periods offered, with early adoption
permitted. We do not this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which updated guidance to clarify the required
presentation of debt issuance costs. The amended guidance requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance
sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the recognized debt liability, consistent with the treatment of debt discounts.
Amortization of debt issuance costs is to be reported as interest expense. The recognition and measurement guidance
for debt issuance costs are not affected by the updated guidance. The update requires retrospective application and represents
a change in accounting principle. The updated guidance is effective for reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this ASU in the third quarter of
2015 and have reflected $10.9 million and $4.1 million as reduction of long-term debt at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014,
respectively. Previously, these costs were recorded as part of other assets.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation
- Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target
Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and
that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. The performance target should
not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in
which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable
to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being
achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively
over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service
period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately
vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award
if the performance target is achieved. This ASU is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods
beginning after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue
from Contracts with Customers: (Topic 606)." This ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers
to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within
the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements
in ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition," and most industry-specific guidance. In addition, the existing requirements
for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (e.g.,
assets within the scope of ASC Topic 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment," and intangible assets within the scope of
ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other") are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement
(including the constraint on revenue) in this ASU. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue
to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity
expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09.
This ASU is now effective for calendar years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently
evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market
Risk
There have been no material changes with
respect to the information on Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk appearing in Part II, Item 7A
to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by rule 13a-15(b) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the Company’s last fiscal
quarter our management conducted an evaluation with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and
procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and
implementing possible controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
have concluded that, as of the end of the Company’s last fiscal quarter, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective
in that they provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We intend to review and document our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal controls and procedures for financial
reporting, on an ongoing basis, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that
our systems evolve with our business.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of such internal control that occurred during
the Company’s last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Please refer to Part 1 – Note 11
to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details and history on outstanding litigation.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set
forth in this report, the risks and uncertainties that we believe are most important for you to consider are discussed in Part
II, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which could materially
affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only
risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial
also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. There are no material changes
to the Risk Factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

or in such other Loan Document:

(c) Section
headings herein and in the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Section 1.03 Accounting
Terms and Determinations.
(a) Generally.
All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data
(including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared
in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, except as otherwise specifically prescribed
herein, in any other Loan Document or as disclosed to the Administrative Agent.
(b) Changes
in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth
in any Loan Document, and either (x) the Borrower or (y) within 30 days after delivery of any financial statements reflecting any
change in GAAP (or after the Lenders have been informed of the change in GAAP affecting such financial statements, if later), the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate
in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject
to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue
to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders financial statements and any other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder
setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change
in GAAP. Notwithstanding any change in GAAP after the Closing Date that would require lease obligations that would be treated as
operating leases as of the Closing Date to the classified and accounted for as capital leases or otherwise reflected on the Loan
Parties’ consolidated balance sheet, for the purposes of determining compliance with any covenant contained herein, such
obligations shall be treated in the same manner as operating leases are treated as of the Closing Date.
(c) Pro
Forma Calculations. All pro forma computations required to be made in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document
giving effect to any Material Disposition, Permitted Acquisition, other Investment permitted hereunder, any merger and acquisition
permitted hereunder, designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, redemption or repayment of Indebtedness or issuance,
incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto immediately after giving
effect to such acquisition, disposition, designation, redemption or repayment of Indebtedness, or issuance, incurrence or assumption
of Indebtedness (and to any other such transaction consummated since the first day of the period for which such pro forma
computation is being made and on or prior to the date of such computation) as if such transaction (and any other such transactions)
had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period, and, to the extent applicable, the historical earnings and cash flows
associated with the assets acquired or disposed of, any related repayment, redemption, incurrence or reduction of Indebtedness
(each such calculation, calculated on a “Pro Forma Basis”). If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest
and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the
date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Swap Agreement applicable to
such Indebtedness).
(d) Limited
Condition Transaction. In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for
purposes of determining compliance with clause (y) in the proviso set forth in Section 2.15(a) and Section
2.15(b)(iii) which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total
Leverage Ratio, each calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise
such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination
of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition
Transaction is entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited
Condition Transaction, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the
relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such provision. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election
and any of such provisions as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been satisfied as a result of fluctuations in the
Secured Leverage Ratio, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such provisions will not be deemed
to have failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited
Condition Transaction, then in connection with any event or transaction occurring after the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to
the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or
date for redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment specified in an irrevocable notice for such
Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction
(a “Subsequent Transaction”) in connection with which a ratio, test or basket availability calculation must
be made on a Pro Forma Basis or giving pro forma effect to such Subsequent Transaction, for purposes of determining whether
such ratio, test or basket availability has been complied with under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required
to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction has not been consummated until such time as such
Limited Condition Transaction has been consummated.
(e) Foreign
Currency Calculations. For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of
Indebtedness, the Dollar equivalent of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant
currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the
case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew
or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal
or defeasance would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange
rate in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such Dollar-denominated
restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not
exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased. The principal
amount of any Indebtedness incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness, if incurred in
a different currency from the Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased, shall be calculated
based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in
effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance.
Section 1.04 Rounding.
Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement
shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the
number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up
if there is no nearest number).
Section 1.05 Times
of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or
standard, as applicable).
Section 1.06 Letter
of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the
stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter
of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any L/C Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in
the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of
Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
Section 1.07 Classes
and Types of Borrowings. The term “Borrowing” denotes the aggregation of Loans of one or more Lenders made
to the Borrower pursuant to Article II on the same date, all of which Loans are of the same Class and Type (subject to Article
III) and, except in the case of Base Rate Loans, have the same initial Interest Period. Loans hereunder are distinguished by
“Class” and “Type.” The “Class” of a Loan (or of a Commitment to make such a Loan or of a Borrowing
comprised of such Loans) refers to whether such Loan is a Revolving Loan, a Term Loan, an Incremental Revolving Loan, an Incremental
Term Loan, an Other Revolving Loan or an Other Term Loan. The “Type” of a Loan refers to whether such Loan is
a Eurodollar Loan or a Base Rate Loan. Identification of a Loan (or a Borrowing) by both Class and Type (e.g., a “Term Eurodollar
Loan”) indicates that such Loan is a Loan of both such Class and such Type (e.g., both a Term Loan and a Eurodollar Loan)
or that such Borrowing is comprised of such Loans.
ARTICLE II.
THE CREDIT FACILITIES
Section 2.01 Commitments
To Lend.
(a) Revolving
Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans
to the Borrower in Dollars pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period,
commencing on the second Business Day of the Revolving Availability Period, in amounts such that its Revolving Outstandings shall
not exceed (after giving effect to all Revolving Loans repaid, all reimbursements of L/C Disbursements made, and all Refunded Swing
Line Loans paid concurrently with the making of any Revolving Loans) its Revolving Commitment; provided that, immediately
after giving effect to each such Revolving Loan, (i) the aggregate Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Committed
Amount and (ii) with respect to each Revolving Lender individually, such Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans plus its (other
than the Swing Line Lender’s in its capacity as such) Participation Interests in outstanding Swing Line Loans plus its Participation
Interests in outstanding L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving
Committed Amount. Each Revolving Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000
or any larger multiple of $100,000, and each Revolving Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate principal
amount of $500,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000 (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount of the unused
Revolving Commitments and any L/C Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount of any outstanding Unreimbursed Amounts owed to one
or more L/C Issuers as provided in Section 2.05(e)(iv)) and shall be made from the several Revolving Lenders ratably in
proportion to their respective Revolving Commitment. No more than ten (10) Revolving Borrowings shall be outstanding at any time.
Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), repay, or, to the extent permitted by Section
2.09, prepay, Revolving Loans and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a).
(b) Term
Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a Term Loan to the
Borrower in Dollars on the Closing Date in a principal amount not exceeding its Term Commitment. The Term Borrowing shall be made
from the several Term Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Term Commitments. The Term Commitments are not revolving
in nature, and amounts repaid or prepaid prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date may not be reborrowed. Any Term Commitments not funded
on the Closing Date will be terminated.
(c) Swing
Line Loans. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the
agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this clause (c), to make a portion of the Revolving Commitments available
to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period by making Swing Line Loans to the Borrower in Dollars
(each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan” and, collectively, the “Swing Line Loans”); provided
that (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Loans outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the Swing Line Committed
Amount, (B) each Swing Line Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000,
(C) with regard to each Lender individually (other than the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such), such Lender’s outstanding
Revolving Loans plus its Participation Interests in outstanding Swing Line Loans plus its Participation Interests in outstanding
L/C Obligations shall not at any time exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount,
(D) with regard to the Revolving Lenders collectively, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding
plus the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans outstanding plus the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations outstanding shall not exceed
the Revolving Committed Amount, (E) the Swing Line Committed Amount shall not exceed the aggregate of the Revolving Commitments
then in effect, (F) no Swing Line Loans may be drawn on the Closing Date or the Closing Date and (G) the Swing Line Lender shall
not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loans if any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder,
unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the Swing
Line Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Revolving Lender to eliminate the Swing Line Lenders’ actual
or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising
from either the Swing Line Loans then proposed to be made and all other Swing Line Loans as to which the Swing Line Lender has
actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. Swing Line Loans shall be made and maintained as
Base Rate Loans and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof prior to the Swing Line Termination Date.
Swing Line Loans may be made notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Swing Line Lender’s
other Revolving Outstandings, exceed its Revolving Commitment. The proceeds of a Swing Line Borrowing may not be used, in whole
or in part, to refund any prior Swing Line Borrowing.
(ii) The
principal amount of all Swing Line Loans shall be due and payable on the earliest of (A) the fifth day after the incurrence of
such Swing Line Loan, unless another maturity date shall be agreed to by the Swing Line Lender and the Borrower with respect to
such Swing Line Loan, (B) the Swing Line Termination Date, (C) the occurrence of any proceeding with respect to the Borrower
under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or (D) the acceleration of any Loan or the termination of the Revolving Commitments
pursuant to Section 8.02.
(iii) With
respect to any Swing Line Loans that have not been voluntarily prepaid by the Borrower or paid by the Borrower when due under clause
(ii) above, the Swing Line Lender (by request to the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent at any time may, on
one Business Day’s notice, require each Revolving Lender, including the Swing Line Lender, and each such Lender hereby agrees,
subject to the provisions of this Section 2.01(c), to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be initially funded as a Base Rate
Loan) in an amount in Dollars equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Line Loans
(the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date notice is given.
(iv) In
the case of Revolving Loans made by Lenders other than the Swing Line Lender under clause (iii) above, each such Revolving
Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the Administrative
Agent’s Office, not later than 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given. The proceeds
of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately delivered to the Swing Line Lender (and not to the Borrower) and applied to repay
the Refunded Swing Line Loans. On the day such Revolving Loans are made, the Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage
of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by the Swing Line Lender
and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall instead
be outstanding as Revolving Loans. The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender to charge the Borrower’s
account with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in such account) in order to pay immediately to the Swing Line
Lender the amount of such Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders, including amounts
deemed to be received from the Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion
of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from
the Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered
shall be ratably shared among all Revolving Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.13.
(v) A
copy of each notice given by the Swing Line Lender pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) shall be promptly delivered by
the Swing Line Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Upon the making of a Revolving Loan by a Revolving Lender pursuant
to this Section 2.01(c), the amount so funded shall no longer be owed in respect of its Participation Interest in the related
Refunded Swing Line Loans.
(vi) If
as a result of any proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to this Section
2.01(c) sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swing Line Lender as a result of a nonpayment of outstanding Swing Line
Loans, each Revolving Lender agrees to purchase, and shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in such outstanding Swing
Line Loans in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon.
Upon one Business Day’s notice from the Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender shall deliver to the Swing Line Lender an
amount equal to its respective Participation Interest in such Swing Line Loans in same day funds at the office of the Swing Line
Lender specified or referred to in Section 10.02. In order to evidence such Participation Interest each Revolving Lender
agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of the Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to all parties. In the event any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Swing Line Lender the amount of such Revolving
Lender’s Participation Interest as provided in this Section 2.01(c)(vi), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to
recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest at the customary rate set by the Swing Line Lender
for correction of errors among banks in New York City for one Business Day and thereafter at the Base Rate plus the then Applicable
Margin for Base Rate Loans.
(vii) Each
Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (iv) above and to purchase Participation
Interests in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to clause (vi) above shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by any circumstance, including (without limitation) (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Revolving Lender or any other Person may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (ii)
the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination or reduction in the amount of the Revolving
Commitments after any such Swing Line Loans were made, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Borrower or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Finance Document by the Borrower or any other Lender,
(v) whether any condition specified in Article IV is then satisfied or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the forgoing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Swing Line Lender’s
demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to continue
to have outstanding Swing Line Loans in the amount of such unpaid Participation Interest for all purposes of the Finance Documents
other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein. Further, such Lender shall be deemed
to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans, and any other amounts due to it hereunder, to
the Swing Line Lender to fund Swing Line Loans in the amount of the Participation Interest in Swing Line Loans that such Lender
failed to purchase pursuant to this Section 2.01(c)(vii) until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment
or otherwise).

Notice of Borrowing.
Section 2.03 Notice
to Lenders; Funding of Loans.
(a) Notice
to Lenders. If the Borrower has requested an Interest Period of other than one, three or six months in duration, the Administrative
Agent shall give prompt notice of such request to the applicable Lenders and determine whether the requested Interest Period is
acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00 A.M. on the third Business Day before the requested date of such a Eurodollar Loan,
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the
Lenders. Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Lender’s
ratable share (if any) of the Borrowing referred to therein, and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by
the Borrower.
(b) Funding
of Loans. (i) Not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date of each Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing and an L/C Borrowing),
each Lender participating therein shall make available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other immediately available funds,
to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable
condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall make the funds so received available
to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (A) crediting the account of the Borrower on the
books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (B) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance
with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in the applicable Notice
of Borrowing, or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein shall not have been met, promptly
return the amounts received from the Lenders in like funds, without interest.
(ii) Not
later than 3:00 P.M. on the date of each Swing Line Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender shall, unless the Administrative Agent shall
have notified the Swing Line Lender that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied, make available
the amount of such Swing Line Borrowing, in Federal or other immediately available funds, to the Borrower at the Swing Line Lender’s
address referred to in Section 10.02.
(iii) Not
later than 1:00 P.M. on the date of each L/C Borrowing, each Revolving Lender shall make available its share of such Borrowing,
in Federal or other immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office. The Administrative
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer which has issued Letters of Credit having outstanding Unreimbursed Amounts
as contemplated by Section 2.05(e)(v).
(c) Funding
by the Administrative Agent in Anticipation of Amounts Due from the Lenders. 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
to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with clause (b) above, and the Administrative Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, but is not required to, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.
In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent then
the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available
to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such
Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable thereto
pursuant to Section 2.06. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same
or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the
Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount
so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice
to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. A
notice of the Administrative Agent to a Lender, the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (c) shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d) Failed
Loans. If any Lender shall fail to make any Loan (a “Failed Loan”) which such Lender is otherwise obligated
hereunder to make to the Borrower on the date of Borrowing thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall not have received notice
from the Borrower or such Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan has not been satisfied, then, until
such Lender shall have made or be deemed to have made (pursuant to the last sentence of this clause (d)), the Failed Loan
in full or the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower or such Lender that any condition precedent to
the making of the Failed Loan was not satisfied at the time the Failed Loan was to have been made, whenever the Administrative
Agent shall receive any amount from the Borrower for the account of such Lender, (i) the amount so received (up to the amount of
such Failed Loan) will, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been paid to the Lender in satisfaction of
the obligation for which paid, without actual disbursement of such amount to the Lender, (ii) the Lender will be deemed to have
made the same amount available to the Administrative Agent for disbursement as a Loan to the Borrower (up to the amount of such
Failed Loan) and (iii) the Administrative Agent will disburse such amount (up to the amount of the Failed Loan) to the Borrower
or, if the Administrative Agent has previously made such amount available to the Borrower on behalf of such Lender pursuant to
the provisions hereof, reimburse itself (up to the amount of the amount made available to the Borrower); provided, however,
that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disburse any such amount to the Borrower, or otherwise apply it or deem
it applied as provided herein unless the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its sole discretion that to so disburse
such amount will not violate any Law, rule, regulation or requirement applicable to the Administrative Agent. Upon any such disbursement
by the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan of the same Class as the Failed Loan to
the Borrower in satisfaction, as applicable, to the extent thereof, of such Lender’s obligation to make the Failed Loan.
Section 2.04 Evidence
of Loans.
(a) Lender
and Administrative Agent Accounts; Notes. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts
or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records
maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions
made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall
not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Senior
Credit Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute
and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a single Revolving Note or Term Note, as applicable, in each case,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 or B-2, as applicable, payable to the order of such Lender for the account
of its Lending Office in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving or Term Loans,
as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. If requested by the Swing
Line Lender, the Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by a single Swing Line Note, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3,
payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans.
Each Lender having one or more Notes shall record the date, amount, Class and Type of each Loan made by it and the date and amount
of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and may, if such Lender so elects in connection with any
transfer or enforcement of any Note, endorse on the reverse side or on the schedule, if any, forming a part thereof appropriate
notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each outstanding Loan evidenced thereby; provided that the
failure of any Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement or any error in any such recordation or endorsement shall not
affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any such Note. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower
so to endorse each of its Notes and to attach to and make a part of each of its Notes a continuation of any such schedule as and
when required.
(b) Certain
Participation Interests. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in clause (a) above, each Lender and
the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing purchases and sales
by such Lender of Participation Interests in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts
and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
Section 2.05 Letters
of Credit.
(a) Letters
of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the
agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during
the period after the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue standby Letters of Credit for the account,
and upon the request, of the Borrower (or jointly for the account of the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries), and to amend or
extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with clause (c) below and (B) to honor drawings under its
Letters of Credit, and (ii) each Revolving Lender severally agrees to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and any drawing thereunder in accordance with the provisions of clause (e) below;
provided that, immediately after each Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations shall
not exceed the L/C Sublimit, (ii) the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by such
L/C Issuer shall not exceed its L/C Issuer Sublimit, (iii) the Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Committed
Amount and (iv) with respect to each individual Revolving Lender, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Loans plus its Participation Interests in outstanding L/C Obligations plus its (other than
the Swing Line Lender’s) Participation Interests in outstanding Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, standby Letters of Credit issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date under the Existing Credit Agreement will automatically, without any action
on the part of any Persons be deemed to be Letters of Credit hereunder for the account of the Borrower for all purposes of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents upon the occurrence of the Closing Date. Each request by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries
for the issuance or increase in the stated amount of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower
or such Subsidiary that the issuance or increase in the stated amount of such Letter of Credit complies with the conditions set
forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the period
specified in clause (i)(A) above, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been
drawn upon and reimbursed.
(b) Certain
Limitations on Issuances of Letters of Credit. (i) No L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit, if (A) subject to clause
(c) below with respect to Auto-Extension Letters of Credit, the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur
more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer
have approved such expiry date, or (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date.
(ii) No
L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental
Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable
to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having a force of Law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction
over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally
or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction,
reserve or capital or liquidity requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on
the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing
Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit shall violate any
Laws or one or more policies of such L/C Issuer; (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer,
such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000; (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency
other than Dollars; or (E) a default of any Revolving Lender’s obligations to fund under clause (e)(iv) or (vi)
below exists or any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements,
including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Revolving
Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv))
with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit
and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole
discretion.
(iii) No
L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit
in its amended form under the terms hereof.
(iv) No
L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such
time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit
does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(v) Each
L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated
therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article
IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it
or proposed to be issued by it and the L/C Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative
Agent” as used in Article IX included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (B) as additionally
provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.
(c) Procedures
for Issuance and Increases in the Amounts of Letters of Credit. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended,
as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit A-3 hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”), appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower including agreed-upon draft language for such Letter of Credit reasonably
acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Request must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative
Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. at least four Business Days (or such later date and time as such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular
instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of increase, as the case may be. In the case of a
request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably
satisfactory to such L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day);
(B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to
be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such
beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case
of a request for an increase in the stated amount of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify
in form and detail satisfactory to such L/C Issuer: (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment
thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the amount of the proposed increase; and (D) such other matters as such L/C Issuer
may reasonably require. If requested by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall also submit a Letter of Credit Application
on such L/C Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for the issuance or increase in the stated amount of a
Letter of Credit. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents
and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any L/C Documents, as such L/C Issuer
or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
(ii) Promptly
after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone
or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower and, if not,
such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such L/C Issuer has received written notice from
any Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance
or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not
then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter
of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or jointly for the account of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into
the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business
practices.
(iii) If
the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”);
provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least
once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the
beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period
to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by such L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall
not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has
been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such L/C Issuer to permit the extension
of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however,
that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted,
or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof
(by reason of the provisions of clause (c)(i) or (ii) above or otherwise) or (B) it has received notice (which may
be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (x) from the
Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (y) from the Administrative
Agent or any Loan Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 are not then satisfied (for
the avoidance of doubt, the provision of any such notice to such L/C Issuer pursuant to this clause (y) shall not relieve
any Revolving Lender of its obligation to fund its share of any such Letter of Credit that is not extended, to the extent such
Letter of Credit is drawn under the terms of this Agreement), and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such
extension.
(iv) Promptly
after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to
the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete
copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(d) Purchase
and Sale of Letter of Credit Participation. Immediately upon the issuance by an L/C Issuer of a Letter of Credit, such
L/C Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving
Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such L/C Issuer, without recourse or
warranty, an undivided Participation Interest in such Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations in the proportion its Revolving
Commitment Percentage bears to the Revolving Committed Amount (although any fronting fee payable under Section 2.11 shall
be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, and the Lenders (other than such
L/C Issuer) shall have no right to receive any portion of any such fronting fee) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining
thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 10.06, there shall be an automatic adjustment
to the Participation Interests in all outstanding Letters of Credit and all L/C Obligations to reflect the adjusted Revolving Commitments
of the assigning and assignee Lenders or of all Lenders having Revolving Commitments, as the case may be.
(e) Drawings
and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice
of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
thereof and shall determine in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit whether such drawing should be honored. If the
applicable L/C Issuer determines that any such drawing shall be honored, such L/C Issuer shall make available to such beneficiary
in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit the amount of the drawing and shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent as to the amount to be paid as a result of such drawing and the payment date (which date shall be one Business Day after
the date of the drawing) (each such date, an “Honor Date”).
(ii) The
Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated forthwith to reimburse each L/C Issuer or each L/C Issuer through the
Administrative Agent for any amounts paid by such L/C Issuer upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, together with any and
all reasonable charges and expenses which such L/C Issuer may pay or incur relative to such drawing. Such reimbursement payment
shall be due and payable on the same day as the Honor Date if notice is received prior to 11:00 A.M., or the next Business Day
after the Honor Date otherwise. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to such L/C Issuer interest, payable on demand, on any
and all amounts not paid by the Borrower to such L/C Issuer when due under this clause (e)(ii), for each day from and including
the date when such amount becomes due to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, whether before or after judgment,
at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. Each reimbursement and other payment to be made by the Borrower pursuant
to this clause (ii) shall be made to such L/C Issuer in Federal or other funds immediately available to it at its address
referred to in Section 10.02.
(iii) Subject
to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Borrower may, at its option, utilize the Swing
Line Commitment or the Revolving Commitments, or make other arrangements for payment satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer,
for the reimbursement of all L/C Disbursements as required by clause (ii) above.
(iv) With
respect to any L/C Disbursements that have not been reimbursed by the Borrower when due under clauses (ii) and (iii)
above (an “Unreimbursed Amount”), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the
Honor Date, the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share thereof and such
Revolving Lender’s pro rata share of such unreimbursed L/C Disbursement (determined by the proportion its Revolving Commitment
Percentage bears to the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount). In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an
“L/C Borrowing” of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the next Business Day following
the Honor Date in an aggregate amount in Dollars equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples
specified in Section 2.01(a), but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing), and each such Revolving Lender hereby agrees
to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be initially funded as a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount outstanding on the date notice is given. Any such notice given by the Administrative
Agent given pursuant to this clause (iv) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided
that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(v) Each
Revolving Lender (including any Revolving Lender acting as a L/C Issuer in respect of any Unreimbursed Amount) shall, upon any
notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (iv) above, make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the
Administrative Agent in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, not
later than 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day specified in such notice, whereupon, subject to clause (vi) below, each Revolving
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this
purpose) to the applicable L/C Issuer.
(vi) With
respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by an L/C Borrowing pursuant to clauses (iv) and (v)
above because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender (other than the relevant L/C Issuer), and each such Revolving Lender shall promptly
and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such L/C Issuer, such Revolving Lender’s pro rata
share of such Unreimbursed Amount (determined by the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the aggregate Revolving
Committed Amount) in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds. Such payment from the Revolving Lenders shall be
due (i) at or before 1:00 P.M. on the date the Administrative Agent so notifies a Revolving Lender, if such notice is given at
or before 10:00 A.M. on such date or (ii) at or before 10:00 A.M. on the next succeeding Business Day, together with interest on
such amount for each day from and including the date of such drawing to but excluding the day such payment is due from such Revolving
Lender at the Federal Funds Rate for such day (which funds the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable L/C
Issuer). Each payment by a Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer in respect of an Unreimbursed
Amount shall constitute a payment in respect of its Participation Interest in the related Letter of Credit purchased pursuant to
clause (d) above. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an
L/C Issuer its pro rata share of any Unreimbursed Amount shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder
to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its pro rata share of any payment made under any
Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no such Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer such other Lender’s pro rata share
of any such payment. Upon payment in full of all amounts payable by a Lender under this clause (vi), such Lender shall be
subrogated to the rights of such L/C Issuer against the Borrower to the extent of such Lender’s pro rata share of the related
L/C Obligation so paid (including interest accrued thereon).
(vii) Each
Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (iv) above and to make payments in respect
of its Participation Interests in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to clause (vi) above shall be absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Lender may have against the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence
or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided,
however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans as a part of an L/C Borrowing pursuant to
clause (iv) above is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of
a Notice of Borrowing). No such making by a Revolving Lender of a Revolving Loan or a payment by a Revolving Lender of an amount
in respect of its Participation Interest in Unreimbursed Amounts shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower
to reimburse such L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest
as provided herein.
(viii) If
any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer any amount required to
be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this clause (e) by the time specified therefor,
then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such
Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the
date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the applicable L/C Issuer at a rate
per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day. Any payment made by any Lender after 3:00 P.M. on any Business Day
shall be deemed for purposes of the preceding sentence to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. A certificate of
the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing
under this clause (viii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(f) Repayment
of Funded Participations in Respect of Drawn Letters of Credit. (i) Whenever the Administrative Agent receives a payment
of an L/C Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of an L/C Issuer any payments from the Revolving
Lenders pursuant to clause (e) above (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral
applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Revolving Lender which has paid
its pro rata share thereof an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of the amount thereof (appropriately adjusted,
in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which the payments from the Revolving Lenders were received)
in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii) If
any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to clause (i) above is required
to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into
by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C
Issuer its pro rata share thereof (determined by the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the aggregate Revolving
Committed Amount) on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount
is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day.
(g) Obligations
Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 2.05(e)(i) and 2.05(e)(ii) above shall be absolute
(subject to the right to bring subsequent claims subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(l)(v)) and unconditional
and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, ISP and Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary
Credits, as applicable, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:
(i) any
lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(ii) any
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or
any other Loan Document;
(iii) the
use which may be made of the Letter of Credit by, or any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person
for whom the beneficiary may be acting);
(iv) the
existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other rights that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time
against a beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary or transferee may be acting),
any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto
or thereto or any unrelated transaction;
(v) any
draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever, or any loss
or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(vi) any
payment by any L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
(vii) any
payment made by any L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, examiner, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary
or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding; or
(viii) any
other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any L/C Issuer or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever
that might, but for the provisions of this clause (viii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder;
provided that the foregoing shall
not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to punitive or consequential
damages or lost profits, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered
by the Borrower that are caused by acts or omissions by such L/C Issuer constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on
the part of such L/C Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).
The Borrower shall promptly
examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance
with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The
Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such
notice is given as aforesaid.
(h) Role
of L/C Issuers; Reliance. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter
of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing
or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Agents or their Related Parties or any of the respective correspondents,
participants or assignees of the L/C Issuers shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith
at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable
judgment; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter
of Credit or Letter of Credit Request. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee
with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and
shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee
at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Agents or any of their Related Parties, or any of the respective
correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuers, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in
clauses (i) through (viii) of clause (g) of this Section 2.05; provided, however, that
anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the applicable L/C Issuer, and
such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential
or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable
judgment to have been caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful
or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft
and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, the L/C Issuers may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity
or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights
or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(i) Applicability
of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued
the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.
(j) Conflict
with L/C Documents. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any L/C Document, this Agreement shall govern.
(k) Letters
of Credit Issued for the Borrower or Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder
is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of any Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to
reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges
that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the
Borrower’s business derives benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(l) Indemnification
of L/C Issuers. (i) In addition to its other obligations under this Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify,
pay and save each L/C Issuer harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges
and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) that such L/C Issuer may incur or
be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or (B) the failure of such L/C
Issuer to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present
or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Government
Acts”).
(ii) As
between the Borrower and each L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts or omissions of or the misuse of any
Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. No L/C Issuer shall be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter
of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;
(B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit
or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for
any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon
a Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable,
telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss
or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any documents required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the
proceeds thereof; and (G) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable L/C Issuer, including, without
limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any L/C Issuer’s rights
or powers hereunder.
(iii) In
furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by
an L/C Issuer, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith,
shall not put such L/C Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any other Loan Party. It is the intention of the
parties that this Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and indemnify each L/C Issuer against any and all risks involved
in the issuance of any Letter of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Loan Parties, including, without limitation,
any and all risks, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future Government Acts. No L/C Issuer shall in any way be liable
for any failure by such L/C Issuer or anyone else to pay any drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts
or any other cause beyond the control of such L/C Issuer.
(iv) Nothing
in this clause (l) is intended to limit the Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.05.
The obligations of the Borrower under this clause (l) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. No act or omission
of any current or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of any L/C Issuer to enforce
any right, power or benefit under this Agreement.
(v) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this clause (l), the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify any L/C Issuer
in respect of any liability incurred by such L/C Issuer arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
L/C Issuer, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment. Nothing in this Agreement
shall relieve any L/C Issuer of any liability to the Borrower in respect of any action taken by such L/C Issuer which action constitutes
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such L/C Issuer, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable
judgment.
(m) Resignation
of an L/C Issuer. An L/C Issuer may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the
Revolving Lenders and the Borrower; provided, however, that any such resignation shall not affect the rights or obligations
of such L/C Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation. Upon any such resignation, the Borrower
shall (within 60 days after such notice of resignation) either appoint a successor or terminate the unutilized L/C Commitment of
such L/C Issuer; provided, however, that, if the Borrower elects to terminate such unutilized L/C Commitment, the
Borrower may at any time thereafter that the Revolving Commitments are in effect reinstate such L/C Commitment in connection with
the appointment of another L/C Issuer. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an L/C Issuer hereunder by a successor L/C Issuer,
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer and
the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from its obligations to issue Letters of Credit hereunder. The acceptance of any appointment
as L/C Issuer hereunder by a successor L/C Issuer shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement,
(i) such successor shall be a party hereto and have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to such L/C Issuer shall be deemed to refer to
such successor or to any previous L/C Issuer, or to such successor and all previous L/C Issuers, as the context shall require.
After the resignation of an L/C Issuer hereunder, the retiring L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have
all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit
issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(n) Reporting.
Each L/C Issuer (other than the Administrative Agent) will report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first
Business Day of each month, the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the last Business
Day of the preceding month, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer expects to issue, amend, renew or extend
any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance or amendment, and the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit to be issued,
amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and such
L/C Issuer shall advise the Administrative Agent on such Business Day whether such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred
and whether the amount thereof changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer makes any L/C Disbursement, the date
and amount of such L/C Disbursement and (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an L/C Disbursement required
to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer on such day, the date and amount of such failure.
Section 2.06 Interest.
(a) Rate
Options Applicable to Loans. Each Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing, which shall be made and maintained as Base
Rate Loans) shall be comprised of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.02.
Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower may not
request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than ten separate Groups of Eurodollar Loans being outstanding
hereunder at any one time. For this purpose, Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether commencing on the same
date, shall be considered separate Groups. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before
and after judgment and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
(b) Rates
Applicable to Loans. Subject to the provisions of clause (c) below, (i) each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the
sum of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the then Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans, (ii) each Base
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each day from the date such Loan is made as, or converted
into, a Base Rate Loan until it becomes due or is converted into a Loan of any other Type, at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate for such day plus the then Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus the then Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans.
(c) Additional
Interest. If any Loan or interest thereon or any fee described in Section 2.11 is not paid when due (without regard
to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall thereafter
bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the full extent permitted
by applicable Laws.
(d) Interest
Payments. Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and
at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof
before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(e) Determination
and Notice of Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest
rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time when Base Rate
Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used
in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. Any notice with respect to Eurodollar Loans
shall, without the necessity of the Administrative Agent so stating in such notice, be subject to the provisions of the definition
of “Applicable Margin” providing for adjustments in the Applicable Margin applicable to such Loans after the beginning
of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
Section 2.07 Extension
and Conversion.
(a) Continuation
and Conversion Options. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate allowed
by Section 2.06 and as specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower shall have
the option, on any Business Day, to elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject
in each case to the provisions of Article III and Section 2.07(d)), as follows:
(i) if
such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Eurodollar Loans as of any Business Day; and
(ii) if
such Loans are Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue such Loans
as Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, subject to Section 3.05 in the case of any such conversion or continuation
effective on any day other than the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans.
Each such election shall be made by delivering
a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto (a “Notice of Extension/Conversion”), which
notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon on the third Business
Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice of Extension/Conversion may, if
it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that
(i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the portion to which such Notice of Borrowing
applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $1,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000.
(b) Contents
of Notice of Extension/Conversion. Each Notice of Extension/ Conversion shall specify:
(i) the
Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;
(ii) the
date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable
clause of Section 2.07(a) above;
(iii) if
the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new Type of Loans and, if the Loans being converted are to be Eurodollar
Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable thereto; and
(iv) if
such Loans are to be continued as Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest
Period.
Each Interest Period specified in a Notice
of Extension/Conversion shall comply with the provisions of the definition of the term “Interest Period.” If no Notice
of Extension/Conversion is timely received prior to the end of an Interest Period for any Group of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have elected that such Group be converted to Base Rate Loans as of the last day of such Interest Period.
(c) Notification
to Lenders. Upon receipt of a Notice of Extension/Conversion from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07(a), the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof.
(d) Limitation
on Conversion/Continuation Options. The Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Loans to, or continue any
Loans for an additional Interest Period as, Eurodollar Loans if the aggregate principal amount of any Group of Eurodollar Loans
created or continued as a result of such election would be less than $1,000,000. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing when the Borrower delivers notice of such election to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall not be entitled
to elect to convert any Eurodollar Loans to, or continue any Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period as, Eurodollar Loans having
an Interest Period in excess of one month.
Section 2.08 Maturity
of Loans.
(a) Maturity
of Revolving Loans. The Revolving Loans shall mature on the Revolving Termination Date, and any Revolving Loans, Swing
Line Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon and fees in respect thereof) shall be due
and payable on such date.
(b) Scheduled
Amortization of Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay, and there shall become due and payable, on each Principal Amortization
Payment Date in installments of 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans on the Closing Date, which payments
shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.09. Any remaining unpaid principal
amount of Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.
Section 2.09 Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary
Prepayment of Revolving Loans and Term Loans. The Borrower shall have the right to voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans and
Term Loans in whole or in part from time to time, subject to Section 3.05 and Section 2.09(g) but otherwise without
premium or penalty; provided, however, that each partial prepayment of Revolving Loans and Term Loans shall be in
a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each payment pursuant to this Section
shall be applied as directed by the Borrower.
(b) Swing
Line Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time
or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that
(i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date of
the prepayment and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify
the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the
payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
(c) Mandatory
Prepayments.
(i) Revolving
Committed Amount. If on any date the aggregate Revolving Outstandings exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower
shall repay, and there shall become due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon), on such date an aggregate principal
amount of Swing Line Loans equal to such excess. If the outstanding Swing Line Loans have been repaid in full, the Borrower shall
prepay, and there shall become due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon), Revolving Loans in such amounts as are
necessary so that, after giving effect to the repayment of the Swing Line Loans and the repayment of Revolving Loans, the aggregate
Revolving Outstandings do not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. If the outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans have
been repaid in full, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations so that, after giving effect to the repayment of Swing
Line Loans and Revolving Loans and the Cash Collateralization of L/C Obligations pursuant to this clause (i), the aggregate
Revolving Outstandings do not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. In determining the aggregate Revolving Outstandings for purposes
of this Agreement, L/C Obligations shall be reduced to the extent that they are Cash Collateralized as contemplated by this clause
(i). Each prepayment of Revolving Loans required pursuant to this clause (i) shall be applied ratably among outstanding
Revolving Loans based on the respective amounts of principal then outstanding. Each Cash Collateralization of L/C Obligations required
by this clause (i) shall be applied ratably among L/C Obligations based on the respective amounts thereof then outstanding.
(ii) Excess
Cash Flow. Within five (5) Business Days after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered
for the most recently ended fiscal year pursuant to Section 6.01(a), beginning with the Excess Cash Flow Period ending on
December 31, 2016, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (A) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow
for such Excess Cash Flow Period, minus (B) on a dollar-for-dollar basis the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments
during such Excess Cash Flow Period or, at the option of the Borrower, after such Excess Cash Flow Period but prior to such Excess
Cash Flow payment date (and without counting such amounts against the Excess Cash Flow payment for the succeeding Excess Cash Flow
Period) of principal of the Term Loans, the Incremental Term Loans, the Other Term Loans, the Revolving Loans, the Incremental
Revolving Loans, the Other Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans in each case that are not funded with the proceeds of Credit Agreement
Refinancing Indebtedness and that are pari passu with the Term Loans in security and right of payment (but in the case of
voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans, only to the extent the Revolving Commitments,
Other Revolving Commitments, the Incremental Revolving Loans, as applicable, are permanently reduced and, in the case of prepayment
or repurchases made at a discount, the amount of cash used for such prepayment or repurchase). As used in this Section 2.09(c)(ii),
the term “Applicable ECF Percentage” for any Excess Cash Flow Period means 50%; provided that the Applicable
ECF Percentage shall be (i) reduced to 25% if the Total Leverage Ratio at the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period is equal to or
less than 4.00 to 1.00 and greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (ii) reduced to 0% if the Total Leverage Ratio at the end of such Excess
Cash Flow Period is equal to or less than 3.00 to 1.00, in each case at the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period.
(iii) Asset
Dispositions, Casualties and Condemnations, etc. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Disposition (other than any Asset Disposition permitted under Section
7.03 (other than clause (a)(xii), (xiii) or (xiv)), Casualty or Condemnation (excluding Net Cash
Proceeds to the extent and so long as they constitute Reinvestment Funds), the Borrower shall prepay (or cause to be prepaid) the
Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Disposition, Casualty or Condemnation; provided
that no such prepayment caused by the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Disposition shall be required to the extent that
the sum of such Net Cash Proceeds and all other Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Dispositions (other than any Asset Disposition permitted
under Section 7.03 (other than clause (a)(xii), (xiii) or (xiv)) occurring after the Closing Date and
during the same fiscal year does not exceed $5,000,000 (it being understood that a prepayment shall only be required of such excess).
(iv) Debt
Issuances. Within three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Cash
Proceeds from any Debt Issuance (other than any Debt Issuance permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Agreement), the
Borrower shall prepay (or cause to be prepaid) the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of
such Debt Issuance.
(v) Application
of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.09(c) shall be applied as follows:
(A) with
respect to all amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(i) or in respect of an Other Revolving Loan pursuant to an analogous
provision in any Refinancing Amendment, first to Swing Line Loans, second to Revolving Loans and any Other Revolving Loans, as
applicable, and third to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations; and
(B) with
respect to all amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(ii), (iii) or (iv), except as may
be otherwise specified in any Refinancing Amendment or Increase Joinder, as applicable, (with respect to any Other Term Loans or
Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, subject to such Refinancing Amendment or Increase Joinder, as applicable; provided
that such Refinancing Amendment or Increase Joinder, as applicable, shall not provide for greater than pro rata treatment
for such Other Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, with respect of each other Class of Term Loans, Incremental
Term Loans and Other Term Loans), to the next eight (8) Principal Amortization Payments, then ratably to the remaining Principal
Amortization Payments (excluding the final payment on the Term Loan Maturity Date); provided that, in the case of Section 2.09(c)(iii),
at the Borrower’s option, the Borrower may apply a portion of such amounts to prepay outstanding Indebtedness incurred pursuant
to Section 7.01(s) to the extent (x) such Indebtedness is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the
Liens securing the Loans and (y) a mandatory prepayment in respect of such Asset Disposition, Casualty or Condemnation is required
under the terms of such other Indebtedness, in which case, the amount of prepayment required to be made with respect to such Net
Cash Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(iii) shall be deemed to be the amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of
such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans required
to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(iii) and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount
of such outstanding Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.01(s) and required to be prepaid under the terms of such
Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans required to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(iii).
(vi) Payments
Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.09, payments required under any subsection
or clause of this Section 2.09 are in addition to payments made or required under any other subsection or clause of this
Section 2.09.
(d) Notice
of Mandatory Prepayment Events. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give to the Administrative Agent
at least one Business Day’s prior written or telecopy notice of each and every prepayment required under Section 2.09(c)(ii)
through (iv), including the estimated amount of Net Cash Proceeds expected to be received therefrom.
(e) Notices
of Prepayments. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Revolving Loan which is a Base Rate
Loan, by 11:00 A.M. on the date of any voluntary prepayment hereunder and, in the case of any other Loan, by 11:00 A.M., at least
three Business Days prior to the date of voluntary prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Loans and at least one Business Day prior
to the date of voluntary prepayment in the case of Base Rate Loans. Each notice of prepayment shall be substantially in the form
of Exhibit S and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount to be prepaid, whether the Loan to be prepaid is
a Revolving Loan or a Term Loan, whether the Loan to be prepaid is a Eurodollar Loan or a Base Rate Loan and, in the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, the Interest Period of such Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of
each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share, if any, thereof. Once such notice is given by the Borrower,
the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable as specified therein.
Subject to the foregoing, amounts prepaid under Section 2.09(a) shall be applied as the Borrower may elect; provided
that, if the Borrower fails to specify the application of a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans, then, except as may be otherwise
specified in any Refinancing Amendment, such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments in direct
order of maturity. Amounts prepaid under Section 2.09(c) shall be applied as set forth therein. All prepayments of Eurodollar
Loans under this Section 2.09 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date
of payment, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
(f) Rejected
Payments. In the event of any prepayment of any Term Loans of any Term Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(ii), (c)(iii)
or (c)(iv) (excluding pursuant to any Refinancing Amendment) (an “Applicable Prepayment”), such Lender
may reject all, but not less than all, of its share of such Applicable Prepayment by written notice (each, a “Rejection
Notice”) to the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 P.M. (New York time) two Business Days after the date of such
Term Lender’s receipt of notice of such Applicable Prepayment as otherwise provided herein (the “Rejection Deadline”).
If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the Rejection Deadline, such Term
Lender will be deemed to have accepted its share of the Applicable Prepayment. The aggregate portion of such Applicable Prepayment
that is rejected by Term Lenders pursuant to Rejection Notices shall be referred to as the “Rejected Amount.”
The Rejected Amount may be used by the Borrower in any manner not prohibited by the Loan Documents.
(g) Prepayment
Premium. In the event that, on or prior to the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date, the Borrower (x) makes
any prepayment of Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting
in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Term
Lender, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the amount of the Term Loans being prepaid and (II)
in the case of clause (y), a payment equal to 1.00% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Term Loans outstanding immediately
prior to such amendment.
(h) Foreign
Proceeds. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.09, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash
Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (“Foreign Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty
or Condemnation from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Casualty Event”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign
Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such
Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided
in this Section 2.09 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable
local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit
such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under
the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and an amount equal to such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds
or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net
of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09
to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of
or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or any Foreign Casualty Event or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign
Subsidiaries would have materially adverse tax consequences (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) with respect to such
Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied
to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.09 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
Section 2.10 Adjustment
of Commitments.
(a) Optional
Termination or Reduction of Commitments (Pro rata). The Borrower may from time to time permanently reduce or terminate
the Revolving Committed Amount or Incremental Revolving Commitments in whole or in part (in minimum aggregate amounts of $1,000,000
or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the full remaining amount of the then applicable Revolving Committed
Amount)) upon three Business Days’ prior written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice may be conditional
on the occurrence of an event to the extent specified in such notice); provided, however, that no such termination
or reduction shall be made which would cause the Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Revolving Committed Amount as so reduced,
unless, concurrently with such termination or reduction, the Revolving Loans are repaid (and, after the Revolving Loans have been
paid in full, the Swing Line Loans are repaid and, after the Swing Line Loans have been paid in full, the L/C Obligations are Cash
Collateralized) to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected
Lender of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10(a). Any
partial reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be applied to the Revolving Commitments
of the Lenders pro rata based upon their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11, on the date of each termination or reduction
of the Revolving Committed Amount, any fees accrued through the date of such termination or reduction on the amount of the Revolving
Committed Amount so terminated or reduced.
(b) Termination.
The Revolving Commitments and the related L/C Commitments of the relevant L/C Issuers shall terminate automatically on the Revolving
Termination Date. The Swing Line Commitment of the Swing Line Lender shall terminate automatically on the Swing Line Termination
Date. The Term Commitments shall terminate automatically immediately after the making of the Term Loans on the Closing Date.
(c) General.
The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section
2.10, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount, the Commitment Fee accrued through the
date of such termination or reduction on the amount of the Revolving Committed Amount so terminated or reduced.
Section 2.11 Fees.
(a) Commitment
Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than a Defaulting
Lender) a fee (the “Commitment Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the daily Unused
Revolving Committed Amount, computed at a per annum rate equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage. The Commitment Fee shall
commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September
and December (and on any date that the Revolving Committed Amount is reduced as provided in Section 2.10(a) and on the Revolving
Termination Date) for the period ending on each such date; provided that the first such payment shall be due on September
30, 2015.
(b) Letter
of Credit Fees.
(i) Letter
of Credit Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender that is not
a Defaulting Lender a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage
of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then
in effect under such Letter of Credit) computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of
expiration equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans in effect from time to time; provided, however, that
any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which
such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.05 shall instead be payable, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable
Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable
to the L/C Issuers for their own respective accounts. The Letter of Credit Fee will be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears
and shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first of
such dates to occur after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter
on demand.
(ii) Fronting
Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to the L/C Issuers. The Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer
for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, at a rate of 0.125% per
annum, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such
fronting fee shall be due and payable on last Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing
with the first such date after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter
on demand.
(iii) L/C
Issuer Fees. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee payable pursuant to clause (i) above and any fronting fees
payable pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower promises to pay to each L/C Issuer for its own account without sharing
by the other Lenders the letter of credit fronting and negotiation fees agreed to by the Borrower and such L/C Issuer from time
to time and the customary charges from time to time agreed to by the Borrower and such L/C Issuer with respect to the issuance,
amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit (collectively,
the “L/C Issuer Fees”). L/C Issuer Fees are due when earned and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(c) Other
Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Lead Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in
the amounts and at the times specified in the Arranger Fee Letter and the Administrative Agent Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully
earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not
be refundable for any reason whatsoever except as otherwise agreed.
Section 2.12 Pro
rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:
(a) Loans.
Each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of or interest on any Loan, each payment of fees (other than the L/C Issuer
Fees retained by an L/C Issuer for its own account, and the administrative fees retained by the Agents for their own account),
each reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount and each conversion or continuation of any Loan, shall be allocated pro rata among
the relevant Lenders in accordance with the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, Term Commitment Percentages, Other Revolving
Commitment Percentage, Other Term Commitment Percentage, Incremental Revolving Commitment Percentage and Incremental Term Loan
Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of such Lenders (or, if the Commitments of such Lenders have expired or been terminated,
in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of the applicable Class and Participation Interests
of such Lenders); provided that, in the event any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to this clause (a) is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, repay
to the Administrative Agent the amount so paid to such Lender, with interest for the period commencing on the date such payment
is returned by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent receives such repayment at a rate per annum
equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation.
(b) Letters
of Credit. Each payment of L/C Obligations shall be allocated to each Revolving Lender pro rata in accordance with its
Revolving Commitment Percentage; provided that, if any Revolving Lender shall have failed to pay its applicable pro rata
share of any L/C Disbursement as required under Section 2.05(e)(iv) or (vi), then any amount to which such Revolving
Lender would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this clause (b) shall instead be payable to the L/C Issuers.
Section 2.13 Sharing
of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment
in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it or of its Participation Interests in L/C Obligations
or Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such
Loans or such Participation Interests and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) purchase (for
cash at face value) participation in the Loans and subparticipations in the Participation Interests in L/C Obligations and Swing
Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Loans and other amounts owing thereon; provided that:
(i) if
any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest; and
(ii) the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to
and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a
Defaulting Lender and including payments made pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19), (y) the application of Cash Collateral
provided for in Section 2.05 or 2.16, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment
of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in Participation Interests in L/C Obligations or Swing Line
Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions
of this Section shall apply).
Each Loan Party 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 Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
Section 2.14 Payments
Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a) Payments
by the Borrower. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim,
defense, recoupment or setoff. Each payment of principal of and interest on Loans, L/C Obligations and fees hereunder (other than
fees payable directly to any L/C Issuer) shall be paid not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date when due, in Dollars and in Federal
or other funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at the account designated by it by notice to the Borrower. Payments
received after 1:00 P.M. shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day, and any applicable interest or fee shall
continue to accrue. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, distribute such payments to the applicable Lenders on
the date of receipt thereof, if such payment is received prior to 1:00 P.M.; otherwise the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, distribute such payment to the applicable Lenders on the date of receipt thereof or on the immediately succeeding Business
Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day (and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may
be), unless (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment
thereof shall be the next preceding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of Law or otherwise,
interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.
(b) Presumption
by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the applicable Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith, and may, in reliance
upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due. In
such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers,
as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount
is distributed to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the
Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error.
(c) Failure
to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made
by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the
Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are
not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds promptly (in like
funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender without interest.
(d) Obligations
of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to purchase Participation Interests in the
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make a Loan required to be made
by it as part of any Borrowing hereunder or to fund a Participation Interest shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation,
if any, hereunder to make any Loan on the date of such Borrowing or fund any such Participation Interest, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on such date of Borrowing or fund
its Participation Interest.
(e) Funding
Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place
or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular
place or manner.
(f) Computations.
All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis
of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All computations of Commitment Fees and other computations
of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest,
as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which
Loan is made (or converted or continued), and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan
or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made (or continued or converted)
shall, subject to clause (a) above, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest
rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 2.15 Increase
in Commitments.
(a) Increase
in Commitments. The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to add one or more incremental term
loan facilities hereunder (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”; the commitments thereunder are referred to
as “Incremental Term Loan Commitments” and loans pursuant thereto “Incremental Term Loans”)
and/or increase commitments under the Revolving Facility (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Increase”;
the commitments thereunder are referred to as “Incremental Revolving Commitments” and loans pursuant thereto
“Incremental Revolving Loans”; the Incremental Term Facilities and the Incremental Revolving Increases are collectively
referred to as “Incremental Facilities”); provided that the total aggregate amount for all such
Incremental Facilities (assuming, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Increase, the full amount thereof is drawn) shall not
(as of any date of incurrence thereof) exceed (x) $60,000,000 (plus, to the extent utilized to effect an Incremental Revolving
Increase, $20,000,000), plus (y) an amount equal to the sum of all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to Section
2.09(a), plus (z) an additional unlimited amount so long as, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Facility
(excluding the cash proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans for purposes of netting and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving
Increase, assuming the full amount thereof is fully drawn), the Secured Leverage Ratio, determined on a Pro Forma Basis as of the
last day of the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements were required to have been delivered pursuant to
Section 6.01 (or, if no Test Period has passed, as of the last four quarters ended), in each case, as if such Incremental
Facility (and Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the full amount of any such Incremental Revolving Increase) had been outstanding
on the last day of such four-quarter period, shall not exceed 2.50 to 1.00, with the Borrower electing whether such Incremental
Facility have been incurred (in whole or in part) under clauses (x) (including the parenthetical thereunder), (y) and/or (z) in
its sole discretion. Each Class of Incremental Facility incurred under this Section 2.15 shall be in an aggregate principal
amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (or, if incurred pursuant to the parenthetical to clause (x) in the immediately preceding
sentence, $5,000,000). Each such notice shall specify (x) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which
the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Facility shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days
after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (y) the identity of each Eligible Assignee to
whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Facility be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided
that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Facility may elect or decline, in its sole discretion,
to provide such portion of the Incremental Facility.
(b) Conditions.
The Incremental Facilities shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that:
(i) each
of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) shall be satisfied;
(ii) no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the Borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective
Date; provided that, if such Incremental Facility is being incurred to fund a Limited Condition Transaction, such Event
of Default condition shall be tested on the date of execution of the acquisition or purchase agreement governing such Limited Condition
Transaction;
(iii) after
giving effect to the extension of any Commitments and the making of any Loans pursuant to the Incremental Facilities and the use
of proceeds thereof, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 7.10 as of the last day
of the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements were required to have been delivered pursuant to Section
6.01 on a Pro Forma Basis in accordance with Section 1.03(c); and
(iv) the
Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying as to compliance with the foregoing
conditions.
(c) Terms
of Incremental Facilities. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Facilities shall be as follows:
(i) the
Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity
of the existing Term Loans and the maturity date of Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date;
(ii) in
the case of an Incremental Revolving Increase, the maturity date of such Incremental Revolving Increase shall be no earlier than
the Revolving Maturity Date, such Incremental Revolving Increase shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment
reduction (except as provided herein for all Revolving Commitments) and the Incremental Revolving Increase shall be on the exact
same terms (other than upfront fees and pricing, as set forth in the Increase Joinder) and pursuant to the exact same documentation
applicable to the existing Revolving Commitments (and Revolving Loans);
(iii) the
Applicable Margins for the Incremental Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders of the Incremental Loans; provided
that, in the event that the Applicable Margins (or similar measure of interest margin) for any Incremental Term Loans is more than
0.50% per annum greater than the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans or for any Incremental Revolving Loans is more than
0.50% per annum greater than the Applicable Margins for the Revolving Loans, then the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans
or Revolving Loans, as applicable, shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Applicable Margins (or similar measure
of interest margin) for the Incremental Term Loans are equal to the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans, plus 0.50% per annum
and the Applicable Margins (or similar measure of interest margin) for the Incremental Revolving Loans are equal to the Applicable
Margins for the Revolving Loans, plus 0.50% per annum, as applicable; provided, further, that in determining
the Applicable Margins applicable to the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, and the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental
Revolving Loans, as applicable, (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to
constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders of the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, or
the Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans, as applicable, at the closing thereof or in the primary syndication
thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), (y) if, to the extent
an interest rate floor is then in effect, the applicable Incremental Loans include an interest rate floor greater than the applicable
interest rate floor under the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, such differential between interest rate floors shall
be equated to the Applicable Margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the Applicable Margin under the Term Loans
or Revolving Loans, as applicable, shall be required and (z) arrangement, structuring, documentation, commitment, underwriting
or similar fees payable to the arranger (or its Affiliates) in such capacity in connection with the Term Loans or Revolving Loans,
as applicable, or to one or more arrangers (or their Affiliates) in such capacity of the Incremental Loans shall be excluded; and
(iv) any
Incremental Term Loans, for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated in any event no more favorably than the Term Loans and shall
otherwise be on terms and pursuant to documentation as set forth in the Increase Joinder; provided that, to the extent such
terms and documentation are not consistent with the existing Term Loans (except to the extent permitted by clause (i) or
(ii) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided further, that any
Incremental Term Loans may provide for the ability of the holders thereof to decline to participate in any voluntary prepayments
of the Incremental Term Loans and to receive on a pro rata or less than pro rata basis any mandatory prepayments of the Incremental
Term Loans. No Incremental Revolving Loan shall mature prior to the Revolving Termination Date.
The Incremental Term Loan Commitments and
the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed
by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving
Commitment, as applicable, in form attached hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. The Increase
Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as
may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15.
In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Increase Joinder, all references in Loan Documents to Term
Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Term Loans and unless otherwise
specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise
requires, to include references to Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments, respectively.
(d) Incremental
Revolving Increases. On any Increase Effective Date on which an Incremental Revolving Increase is effective, the participations
held by the Revolving Lenders in the L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans immediately prior to such increase will be reallocated
so as to be held by the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages after giving effect
to such Incremental Revolving Increase. If, on the date of an Incremental Revolving Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding,
the Borrower shall prepay such Revolving Loans in accordance with this Agreement on the date of effectiveness of such Incremental
Revolving Increase (but the Borrower may finance such prepayment with a concurrent borrowing of Revolving Loans from the Revolving
Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Increase).
(e) Making
of New Term Loans. On any Increase Effective Date on which an Incremental Term Facility is effective, subject to the satisfaction
of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Lender holding Incremental Term Commitments shall make an Incremental Term Loan to
the Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Commitment.
(f) Equal
and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments
under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting
the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guaranty Agreement and security interests created by the Collateral Documents.
The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien
and security interests granted by the Collateral Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect
to the establishment of any such Class of Loans or any such new Commitments.
Section 2.16 Cash
Collateral.
(a) Obligation
to Cash Collateralize. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer (i) if the applicable
L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Disbursement
or (ii) if, as of the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Revolver Termination Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason
remains outstanding or there are any L/C Borrowings outstanding or there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, or as otherwise
required pursuant to Section 2.05, Section 2.09(c), Section 2.17 or Section 8.02, the Borrower shall,
in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations in an amount not less than the
Minimum Collateral Amount. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the written request of the
Administrative Agent or any applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Bank (in each case, with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrower shall Cash Collateralize all Fronting Exposure of such L/C Issuer or Swing Line Bank, as applicable, with respect to such
Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting
Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect thereto.
(b) Grant
of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be
maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Collateral Agent. The Borrower, and to the extent provided
by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent, the applicable L/C Issuers and the applicable Lenders (including the applicable Swing Line Lenders), and agrees to maintain,
a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided
as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral
may be applied pursuant to Section 2.16(c). If at any time the Collateral Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject
to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral
is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, or, if applicable, the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby,
the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Collateral Agent, pay or provide to the Collateral
Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
(c) Application.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16
or Sections 2.05, 2.09(c), 2.17, 8.02 or otherwise in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans
shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations
therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations
for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.
(d) Release.
Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released
promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including
by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance
with Section 10.06(b))) or (ii) the determination by the Collateral Agent that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided,
however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance
of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.16 may be otherwise applied in
accordance with Section 8.03) and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender,
as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure
or other obligations.
Section 2.17 Defaulting
Lenders.
(a) Adjustments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such
time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i) Waivers
and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect
to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.
(ii) Reallocation
of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise or received
by the Administrative Agent from such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08) shall be applied at such time or times
as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of any
amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;
SECOND, to the payment on a pro
rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to each applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder;
THIRD, to Cash Collateralize
the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.16;
FOURTH, as the Borrower may request
(so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed
to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;
FIFTH, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting
Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C
Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued
under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.16;
SIXTH, to the payment of any
amounts owing to the Lenders, each applicable L/C Issuer or applicable Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any applicable L/C Issuer or applicable Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
SEVENTH, so long as no Default
or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Agreement; and
EIGHTH, to such Defaulting Lender
or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if (x) such
payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not
fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting
Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender.
Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed
by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected
by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain
Fees. (x) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee payable pursuant to Section 2.11(a)
for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that
otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and (y) each Defaulting Lender shall be limited
in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.11(b).
(iv) Reallocation
of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations
and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment
Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise
notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions
are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the sum of, without duplication, the aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the Revolving Loans of any non-Defaulting Lender, plus such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of
the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time, plus such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of
the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation
hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from such
Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s
increased exposure following such reallocation.
(b) Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer agree in writing that
a Defaulting Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as
of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements
with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans
of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and
funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance
with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.17), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf
of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release
of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c) New
Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swing Line
Lender shall be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving
effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless
it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
Section 2.18 Refinancing
Amendments.
(a) At
any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Eligible Assignee, Credit Agreement Refinancing
Indebtedness in respect of (a) all or any portion of the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement
(which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans) or (b) all or any
portion of the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) and Incremental Revolving Loans (or unused Incremental Revolving
Commitments) under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (b) will be deemed to include any then outstanding
Other Revolving Loans and Other Revolving Commitments), in the form of (x) Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments or (y) Other
Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided
that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security (including
unsecured) with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the
satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested
by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates
and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 (other than changes
to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact and such other changes as are reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent). Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.18 shall
be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $25,000,000 in the case of Other Term Loans or $25,000,000 in
the case of Other Revolving Loans and (y) an integral multiple of $10,000,000 in excess thereof. Any Refinancing Amendment may,
with the consent of the applicable L/C Issuers and Swing Line Lender, provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account
of the Borrower, or the provision to the Borrower of Swing Line Loans, pursuant to any Other Revolving Commitments established
thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans under
the Revolving Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing
Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall
be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing
Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as
Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment
may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this
Section. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each L/C Issuer, participations
in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Termination Date shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments
to Lenders holding extended revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided,
however, that such Participation Interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Other Revolving Commitments,
be deemed to be Participation Interests in respect of such Other Revolving Commitments and the terms of such Participation Interests
(including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.
(b) This
Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.12 or Section 10.01 to the contrary.
Section 2.19 Discounted
Prepayments. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may prepay
the outstanding Term Loans on the following basis:
(a) The
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of any Term Loans at a discount to par
(such prepayment, a “Discounted Term Loan Prepayment”) pursuant to an Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment,
Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, in each case made in accordance
with this Section 2.19; provided that (i) the Borrower shall not make any Borrowing of Revolving Loans to fund any
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, (ii) any Term Loans purchased are immediately cancelled and (iii) the Borrower or any Subsidiary,
as applicable, does not have any material non-public information (“MNPI”) with respect to the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries that (a) has not been disclosed to the Lenders (other than Lenders that do not wish to receive MNPI with respect
to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) prior to such time and (b) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon,
or otherwise be material to a Lender’s decision to participate in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.
(b) (i) Subject
to the proviso to clause (a) above, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may from time to time offer to make an Offer
of Specified Discount Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Specified
Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (w) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the Borrower
or its Subsidiary, to each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (x) any such offer
shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”)
with respect to each applicable Class, the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount
to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified
Discounts and/or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such
an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (y) the Specified Discount
Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $100,000 in excess thereof and
(z) each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly
provide each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount
Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00
P.M., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Specified
Discount Prepayment Response Date”).
(ii) Each
relevant Term Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment
Response Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its relevant then outstanding Term Loans at the Specified
Discount and, if so (such accepting Term Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount and the
Class or Classes of such Lender’s Term Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount. Each acceptance of a Discounted Term
Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Term Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment
Response is not received by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined
to accept the applicable Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment.
(iii) If
there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, will make prepayment
of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this clause (b) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with
the respective outstanding amount and Class of Term Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response
given pursuant to clause (ii); provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment
by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro
rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid
by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as
applicable, and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration
(the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three (3) Business
Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (x) the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, of the
respective Term Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal amount
of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (y) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective
Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date and
(z) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount
and Class of Term Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date. Each determination by the Auction
Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and Term Lenders shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower or its
Subsidiary shall be due and payable by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date
in accordance with clause (f) below (subject to clause (j) below).
(c) (i) Subject
to the proviso to clause (a) above, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may from time to time solicit Discount Range
Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment
Notice; provided that (w) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower or its Subsidiary,
as applicable, to each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (x) any such notice shall
specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”),
the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the “Discount
Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans with respect to each relevant Class of Term Loans willing to be prepaid
by the Borrower or its Subsidiary (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment Amounts
may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate
offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (y) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less
than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $100,000 in excess thereof and (z) each such solicitation by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries
shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant
Term Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted
by a responding relevant Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the third
Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response
Date”). Each relevant Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify a discount
to par within the Discount Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment
of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes and the maximum aggregate principal amount
and Classes of such Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid
at the Submitted Discount. Any Term Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Discount
Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of its Term
Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range.
(ii) Auction
Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response
Date and shall determine (in consultation with the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and subject to rounding requirements
of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable
Discount in accordance with this clause (c). The Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, agrees to accept on the Discount
Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment
Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the
smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range
(such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable
Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (x)
the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (y) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Discount Range
Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed
to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant
to the following clause (iii)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Lender, a “Participating Lender”).
(iii) If
there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, will prepay the respective outstanding
Term Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Discount
Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered
at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discounted Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal
amount of the relevant Term Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or
equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified
Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent
(in consultation with the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent
made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The
Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discounted Range Prepayment Response
Date, notify (w) the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation,
the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discount Term Loan
Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (x) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount,
and the aggregate principal amount and Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (y) each Participating
Lender of the aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date and (z)
if applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of
the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and Lenders shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower or its Subsidiary,
as applicable, shall be due and payable by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, on the Discounted Prepayment Effective
Date in accordance with clause (f) below (subject to clause (j) below).
(d) (i) Subject
to the proviso to clause (a) above, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Notice; provided that (w) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower or
its Subsidiary, as applicable, to each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (x) any
such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Amount”) and the Class or Classes of Term Loans of the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, is willing to prepay
at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different
Classes of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this
Section), (y) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments
of $500,000 in excess thereof and (z) each such solicitation by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, shall remain outstanding
through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant Term Lender with
a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by
a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 P.M., New York time on the third Business
Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response
Date”). Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding
until the Acceptance Date and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Term
Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes
of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any
Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.
(ii) The
Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable,
shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant
responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as
applicable, (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable elects to
accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount,
but in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable,
from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this clause
(ii) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, shall submit an Acceptance
and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an
Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, by the Acceptance Date, the Borrower or its
Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.
(iii) Based
upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted
Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrower or its Subsidiary,
as applicable, and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate
principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrower
or its Subsidiary, as applicable, at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.19(d). If the Borrower or
its Subsidiary, as applicable, elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, agrees
to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response
Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each
Term Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to
the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject
to any required pro rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying
Lender”). The Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this clause
(d) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying
Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than
or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified
Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation
with the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole
reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the
Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (w) the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable,
of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and
the Classes to be prepaid, (x) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable
Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the Classes to be prepaid to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (y) each
Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of such Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on
such date and (z) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the
Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and Lenders shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower or
its Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be due and payable by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, on the Discounted Prepayment
Effective Date in accordance with clause (f) below (subject to clause (j) below).
(e) In
connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent
may require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses agreed to in writing
by the Borrower in connection therewith.
(f) If
any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with clauses (b) through (d) above, the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable,
shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable shall make
such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders,
or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than
11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued
and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date.
Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting
Lenders, Participating Lenders, Identified Participating Lenders, Qualifying Lenders or Identified Qualifying Lenders, as applicable.
The aggregate principal amount of the Classes and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by
the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Classes of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective
Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.
(g) To
the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures
consistent with the provisions in this Section 2.19, established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion
and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable.
(h) Notwithstanding
anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.19, each notice or other communication required
to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s
(or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any
notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening
of business on the next Business Day.
(i) Each
of the Borrower and the Term Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under
this Section 2.19 by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation
of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory
provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection
with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.19 as well as activities of the Auction Agent.
(j) The
Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but
not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice,
Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor (A) at its discretion at any time on or prior
to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, Discount Range Prepayment Response Date or Solicited Discount Prepayment
Response Date, as applicable or (B) if, as of such time, any condition set forth in Section 2.19(a) ceases to be met prior
to the making of such Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and, in each case, such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses
(A) or (B), any failure by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, to make any prepayment to a Term Lender, as
applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01 or
otherwise.
ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
Section 3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear
of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, unless otherwise required by law. If any applicable withholding
agent shall be required by law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) to withhold any
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender Party or any Agent, (i) the applicable withholding
agent shall be entitled to make all such deductions, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) to the extent the deduction is on account of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the amounts so payable by the applicable Loan Party to the Agent of Lender Party shall be increased
as may be necessary so that, after such withholding agent has made all required deductions of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), such Lender Party or such Agent, as
the case may be, shall have received an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.
(b) Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of clause (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay
any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Evidence
of Payments. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental
Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment.
(d) Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender Party for and hold them harmless against the full
amount of Indemnified Taxes payable in connection with any payments made by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document
and (without any duplication) Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section 3.01), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
This indemnification shall be made within 10 days after written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by an Agent on its own behalf,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Treatment
of Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received
a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which
any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal
to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amount paid, by the Loan Party under this Section 3.01
with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, attributable to such refund and without interest (other than
any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Loan Party, upon
the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party in the
event the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party is required to repay such amount to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph
shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other
information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this clause (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying
party pursuant to this clause (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had
not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax
had never been paid.
(f) Status
of Lenders.
(i) Each
Lender Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any applicable withholding Tax with respect to payments made
under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
withholding. Each Lender Party shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including
any specific documents required below in this Section 3.01(f)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect,
deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
in writing of its inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion,
execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B)
and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission
would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position
of such Lender.
(ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing any Lender Party shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender Party becomes a party hereto, two duly completed and executed
copies of whichever of the following is applicable:
(A) in
the case of a Lender Party that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), IRS Form
W-9 certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; and
(B) in
the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, IRS Form W-8BEN
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to such tax treaty;
(C) in
the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming an exemption from U.S. federal income Taxes for income that is effectively connected with
a U.S. trade or business, executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(D) in
the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”)
and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN;
(E) to
the extent that a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or participating
Lender), IRS Form W-8IMY of the Non-U.S. Lender, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate,
IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 3.01(f)
if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership (and not a
participant Lender) and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide
a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of such beneficial owners; or
(F) any
other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Taxes,
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent to reasonably determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(iii) If
a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed under FATCA if the
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 Administrative Agent and the Borrower at the time or times
prescribed by law, and at such other time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, the 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 Administrative Agent or the Borrower as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Borrower
to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine whether the Lender has complied with the Lender obligations under FATCA,
or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from the payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iv) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 3.01(f), a Lender Party shall not be required to deliver any form or other documentation
that such Lender Party is not legally eligible to deliver.
Section 3.02 Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the
Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars
in the London interbank market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (i) any
obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest
rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which
Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without
reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the
Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar
Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to
avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component of
the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar
Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if
such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate,
the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference
to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is
no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such
prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
Section 3.03 Inability
To Determine Rates. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan:
(i) the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant
market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or
(ii) Lenders
having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate as determined
by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Eurodollar Loans for
such Interest Period;
the Administrative Agent shall forthwith
give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans, or to continue or
convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Eurodollar Loan shall be converted
into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the
Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 P.M. on the Business Day of the date of any Eurodollar Loan for which a Notice of Borrowing
has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing
in the same aggregate amount as the requested Borrowing and shall bear interest for each day from and including the first day to
but excluding the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto at the rate applicable to Revolving Base Rate Loans for such
day.
Section 3.04 Increased
Costs and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.
(a) Increased
Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets
held by, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (or its Lending Office) (except
any reserve requirement which is reflected in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate hereunder) or any L/C Issuer;
(ii) subject
any Lender Party to any Taxes with respect to any Loan Document or any Loan made pursuant to this Agreement (other than Indemnified
Taxes and Other Taxes indemnified under Section 3.01, and Excluded Taxes); or
(iii) impose
on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting
this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or Participation Interest therein or any Letter of Credit or Participation
Interest therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing
shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such L/C Issuer of participating in,
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit),
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, hereunder (whether
of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such
Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital
Requirements. If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender, any of its applicable
Lending Offices or its holding company or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, regarding capital and liquidity
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital for such Lender or its holding company or such
L/C Issuer or its holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made
by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any L/C
Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may
be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its holding company’s
policies or such L/C Issuer’s or its holding company’s policies, as applicable, with respect to capital and liquidity
adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company or such L/C Issuer or its holding company for any such
reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates
for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a)
or (b) above and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such
Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate promptly (but in any event within
ten (10) Business Days) after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred
or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies
the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s
intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 3.05 Compensation
for Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for calculating such compensation, the Borrower shall promptly (but in any event within ten days) after
such demand compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result
of (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); (b) any failure
by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any
Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or (c) any assignment of such Lender’s Eurodollar
Rate Loans pursuant to Section 3.07(b) on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, including,
in each case, any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or
from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt,
the Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate any Lender under this Section for any loss of anticipated profits in respect
of any of the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section, each Lender
shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (excluding the impact of the
proviso set forth in the “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” definition) for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing
in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate
Loan was in fact so funded.
Section 3.06 Base
Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Eurodollar Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make, or to continue or convert
outstanding Loans as or to, Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02 or (ii) any Lender or L/C Issuer
has demanded compensation under Section 3.04 with respect to its Eurodollar Loans, and in any such case the Borrower shall,
by at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions
of this Section 3.06 shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender
as (or continued as or converted to) Eurodollar Loans shall instead be Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal shall be
payable contemporaneously with the related Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders). If such Lender notifies the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, the principal amount of each such Base
Rate Loan shall be converted into a Eurodollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related
Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders.
Section 3.07 Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation
of a Different Lending Office. If at any time (i) any Lender requires the Borrower to pay additional amounts to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, (ii) any
Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 or (iii) any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02,
then such Lender or L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, at the request of the Borrower, 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 or L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate
or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04, as the case may be, in the future,
or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, and (B) in each case, would not subject such Lender
or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender
or L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or
L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement
of Lenders or L/C Issuers. If at any time (i) the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender, L/C
Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, (ii) any
Lender or L/C Issuer requests compensation under Section 3.04, (iii) any Lender or L/C Issuer gives a notice pursuant
to Section 3.02, (iv) any Lender or L/C Issuer is a Defaulting Lender or (v) any Lender or L/C Issuer is a Non-Consenting
Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender or L/C Issuer,
replace such Lender or L/C Issuer by causing such Lender or L/C Issuer (and such Lender or L/C Issuer shall be obligated) to assign
pursuant to Section 10.06(b) (with the processing and recording fee under Section 10.06(b)(iii) to be paid
by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one or
more Eligible Assignees; provided that:
(A) (i)
neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to find a replacement assignee and (ii) the Borrower
shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b) (unless waived by the Administrative
Agent);
(B) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in outstanding
L/C Borrowings and Swing Line Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05 and, solely to the extent in connection
with a Repricing Transaction, Section 2.09(g)) from the applicable assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal,
funded participations and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(C) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01 or a claim for
compensation under Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, such assignment will result in a reduction in such payments
or compensation thereafter or, in the case of any such assignment resulting from a notice pursuant to Section 3.02,
such assignment will eliminate the need for such notice;
(D) such
assignment does not conflict with applicable Law;
(E) [reserved];
and
(F) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall be deemed
to have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
In connection with any
such assignment contemplated by this Section, if any such Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly
executed Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 10.06(b) reflecting such assignment within two Business Days
of the date on which the applicable assignee executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such Lender, then such Lender
shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of such Lender, whereupon
such assignment shall become effective upon payment to such Lender of all amounts owing to such Lender under clause (B)
or (C) above (which amounts shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error)
and compliance with the other applicable requirements pursuant to Section 10.06(b).
Notwithstanding anything
in this Section to the contrary, any Revolving Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time it has
any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Lender (including the furnishing
of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer
or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory
to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit.
A Lender shall not be
required to make any such assignment if, prior to the date of delivery of an assignment and assumption executed by the applicable
assignee, as a result of an unconditional, permanent waiver by such Lender (including any action taken by such Lender pursuant
to clause (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to replace such Lender cease to apply.
Section 3.08 Survival.
All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment
of all other Senior Credit Obligations hereunder.

case, as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), when taken as a whole, contains any material misstatement
of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances

projections, budgets, estimates and other forward-looking information, the Borrower represents that such information was prepared
in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable by the preparer thereof at the time made (it being understood and
agreed that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts or guaranties of future performance, that actual results

any Governmental Authority that alleges that any of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is not in compliance in

Section 5.19 Collateral
Documents.
(a) Article
9 Collateral. The Security Agreement, when executed and delivered, is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent,

when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 6 to the Perfection Certificate and
the Pledged Securities are delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on
all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in such of the Collateral in which a security interest can be perfected
under Article 9 of the UCC by filing or by possession thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other
than with respect to Permitted Liens, and except for (i) certain items of Collateral with respect to which such Lien may be perfected
only by possession thereof where the failure of the Collateral Agent to have possession thereof is expressly permitted pursuant
to the Security Agreement and (ii) certain items of Collateral located in or otherwise subject to foreign law where the grant of
a Lien or priority and perfection thereof in accordance with the UCC may not be recognized or enforceable.

Certificate, the Patent Security Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit II to the Security Agreement, and the Trademark
Security Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit III to the Security Agreement, is filed in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office and the Copyright Security Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV to the Security Agreement,
is filed in the United States Copyright Office, then, to the extent that Liens may be perfected by such filings, the Security Agreement
shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in the United States patents,
trademarks, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights covered in such agreements, in each case prior and superior
in right to any other Person (it being understood that subsequent recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and
the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a lien on U.S. issued patents, patent applications, registered trademarks,
trademark applications and copyrights acquired by the Loan Parties after the Closing Date).
(c) Status
of Liens. The Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Finance Parties, has the Liens provided for in the Collateral Documents
and, subject to the filing by the Collateral Agent of continuation statements to the extent required by the UCC and to the qualifications
and limitations set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above, the Collateral Documents are sufficient to constitute valid
and continuing liens of record and first priority perfected security interests in all the Collateral (other than Permitted Liens)
referred to therein, except (i) as priority may be affected by Permitted Liens as a result of the Collateral Agent’s failure
to maintain possession of any stock certificates, promissory notes or other instruments delivered to it under the Collateral Documents,
(ii) for certain items of Collateral located in or otherwise subject to foreign law where the grant of a Lien or priority and perfection
thereof in accordance with the UCC may not be recognized or enforceable and (iii) exceptions to perfection set forth in the Collateral
Documents.
(d) Mortgages.
Each Mortgage, when executed and delivered, is effective to create, in favor of the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and the benefit
of the Finance Parties, legal, valid and enforceable first priority Liens on all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest
in and to the Mortgaged Properties thereunder and the proceeds thereof, subject only to Permitted Liens, and when the Mortgages
are filed in the offices specified in the local counsel opinion delivered with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions
of Section 6.09, the Mortgages shall constitute fully perfected Liens on all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties
in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other than
Permitted Liens.

Section 6.07 Compliance
with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause the Acquired Business and each Subsidiary of the foregoing, to comply with all

thereof shall cause each such New Loan Party to deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) a guaranty or a joinder to the Guaranty
Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, guaranteeing the Finance Parties’ obligations
under the Finance Documents and (y) a joinder to all applicable Collateral Documents then in existence, in each case as specified

of such Subsidiary under the Finance Documents to be accompanied by appropriate corporate resolutions, other corporate documentation
and customary legal opinions as may be reasonably requested by, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Administrative
Agent and its counsel.
(b) Subject
to Section 6.14, the Borrower will cause, and will cause each other Loan Party to cause, all of its owned personal property
to be subject at all times to perfected Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Finance Parties to secure
the Finance Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents on a first priority basis, subject
to no other Liens other than Permitted Liens. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to Section 6.14,
the Borrower (i) will cause 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each Subsidiary directly owned by the Borrower
or any other Loan Party to be subject at all times to a perfected Lien on a first priority basis, subject to Permitted Liens, in
favor of the Administrative Agent to secure the Finance Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Collateral
Documents or such other pledge and security documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request and (ii) will, and will
cause each other Loan Party to, deliver Mortgages with respect to each Mortgaged Property, together with Mortgage Instruments.
(c) Without
limiting the foregoing, the Borrower will, and will cause each other Loan Party to, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed
and delivered, to the Administrative Agent such documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be taken such
further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, Mortgages and other documents and
such other actions or deliveries of the type required by Section 4.01, as applicable), which may be required by law or which
the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and to ensure perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral
Documents, all at the expense of the Borrower.
(d) If
any asset constituting Collateral is acquired by a Loan Party after the Closing Date (other than assets constituting Collateral
under the Collateral Documents that become subject to the Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent upon acquisition thereof), the
Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will cause such
Collateral to be subject to a Lien securing the Finance Obligations and will take, and cause the other Loan Parties to take, such
actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions
described in clause (c) above, all at the expense of the Borrower; provided that, with respect to Equity Interests,
such actions will be limited to those specified in clause (b) above.
(e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to any property, including Mortgaged Property, acquired after the Closing Date or with respect to any
New Loan Party, the Loan Parties shall have ninety (90) days after the acquisition thereof or such Person becomes a New Loan Party
(or such later date as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its reasonable discretion with respect
thereto) to take the actions required by this Section.

of Subsidiaries. The Borrower may, at any time from and after the Closing Date, designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) immediately before and after
such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) immediately after giving effect to
such designation, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.10 on a Pro Forma Basis
in accordance with Section 1.03(c) (and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any such designation, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations demonstrating such
compliance) and (iii) if a Restricted Subsidiary is being designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary hereunder, such Restricted Subsidiary,
together with all other Unrestricted Subsidiaries as of such date of designation, must not have contributed greater than 10% of
the Borrower’s Consolidated EBITDA (calculated inclusive of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries), as of the most recently ended
fiscal quarter of the Borrower, for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended, for which financial statements have
been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01. The designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary after
the Closing Date shall constitute an Investment by the applicable Loan Party therein at the date of designation in an amount equal
to the fair market value of the applicable Loan Party’s investment therein (as determined in good faith by the Borrower).
The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute (i) the incurrence at the time of designation
of any Investment, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time and (ii) a return on any Investment by the applicable
Loan Party in Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal to the fair market value at the date
of such designation of such Loan Party’s Investment in such Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Borrower
nor any direct or indirect parent company of the Borrower shall be permitted to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary.
Section 6.11 Ratings.

issue a corporate family rating (or the equivalent thereof) of the Borrower and (z) S&P to continue to issue a corporate credit

Borrower to maintain a specific rating).

with Environmental Laws. Each of the Loan Parties and Restricted Subsidiaries will comply, and use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause all lessees and other Persons occupying real property of any Loan Party to comply, with all Environmental Laws
and Environmental Permits applicable to its operations, real property and facilities; obtain and renew all material Environmental
Permits applicable to its operations, real property and facilities; and conduct all investigations, response and other corrective
actions to address the Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials to the extent required by, and in accordance with, Environmental
Laws, except in each case for any such failure which would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided
that no Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to undertake any such action to the extent that its obligation to
do so is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and appropriate reserves are being maintained with respect to
such circumstances in accordance with GAAP.
Section 6.13 Lender
Calls. The Borrower shall cause one of its Responsible Officers or any other appropriate representatives, upon the request
of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, to participate in a conference call with the Administrative Agent and Lenders
once during each fiscal year.
Section 6.14 Post-Closing
Obligations.
(a) Each
of the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the documents set forth on Schedule 6.14, within the time
limits specified on such schedule.
(b) The
Borrower will ensure that no Acquired Business unlawfully (i) conducts any business or engages in making or receiving any contribution
of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Embargoed Person, (ii) deals in, or otherwise engages in any transaction
related to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to any Sanction or (iii) engages in or conspires to engage in
any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the applicable
prohibitions set forth in any Economic Sanctions Laws.

sale or transfer of the property thereunder is permitted by Section 7.03, (b) any Capital Lease Obligations and Synthetic

Section 8.02 Acceleration;
Remedies. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral
Agent, as applicable) shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following
actions:
(a) Termination
of Commitments. Declare the Commitments terminated whereupon the Commitments shall be immediately terminated.
(b) Acceleration
of Loans. Declare the unpaid principal of and any accrued interest in respect of all Loans, any Reimbursement Obligations
arising from drawings under Letters of Credit and any and all other indebtedness or obligations of any and every kind (other than
contingent indemnification obligations) owing by a Loan Party to any of the Lenders hereunder to be due whereupon the same shall
be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived
by the Loan Parties.
(c) Cash
Collateral. Direct the Borrower to pay (and the Borrower agrees that upon receipt of such notice, or upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(h), (i)or (j), it will immediately pay) to the Collateral Agent
additional cash, to be held by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in a cash collateral account as additional
security for the L/C Obligations in respect of subsequent drawings under all then outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal
to the maximum aggregate amount which may be drawn under all Letters of Credit then outstanding plus all accrued interest and fees
thereon.
(d) Enforcement
of Rights. Enforce any and all rights and interests created and existing under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation,
all rights and remedies existing under the Loan Documents, all rights and remedies against a Guarantor and all rights of setoff.
(e) Enforcement
Rights Vested Solely in Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. The Lenders agree that this Agreement may be enforced
only by the action of the Administrative Agent, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and, with respect to the
Collateral, the Collateral Agent, and that no other Finance Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce any Loan
Document or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(h), (i) or (j) shall occur, then the Commitments shall automatically
terminate, all Loans, all Reimbursement Obligations under Letters of Credit, all accrued interest in respect thereof and all accrued
and unpaid fees and other indebtedness or obligations owing to the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately
become due and payable and the obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations, as aforesaid shall automatically
become effective, in each case without the giving of any notice or other action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, which
notice or other action is expressly waived by the Loan Parties.
Section 8.03 Allocation
of Payments After Event of Default.
(a) Priority
of Distributions. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in
respect of their Finance Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.09(c) and 2.14, after the exercise of remedies
provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations
have been required to be Cash Collateralized), all amounts collected or received on account of any Finance Obligation shall, subject
to the provisions of Section 2.16 and Section 2.17, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:
FIRST, to
pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any
Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower;
SECOND, to
the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’
fees) of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent then due and payable and under any Loan Document in connection with enforcing
the rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents, including all expenses of sale or other realization of or in respect
of the Collateral, and all advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and any other obligations
owing to the Collateral Agent in respect of sums advanced by the Collateral Agent to preserve the Collateral or to preserve its
security interest in the Collateral;
THIRD, to
the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of (i) each of the Lenders (including any L/C Issuer
in their capacities as such) in connection with enforcing its rights under the Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the
Senior Credit Obligations owing to such Lender, (ii) each Swap Creditor in connection with enforcing any of its rights under the
Swap Agreements or otherwise with respect to the Swap Obligations owing to such Swap Creditor and (iii) each Cash Management Bank
in connection with enforcing any of its rights under any Secured Cash Management Agreement;
FOURTH, to
the payment of all of the Senior Credit Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest;
FIFTH, except
as set forth in clauses FIRST through FOURTH above, to the payment of the outstanding Finance Obligations owing to any Finance
Party, pro rata, as set forth below, with (i) an amount equal to the Senior Credit Obligations being paid to the Collateral Agent
(in the case of Senior Credit Obligations owing to the Collateral Agent) or to the Administrative Agent (in the case of all other
Senior Credit Obligations) for the account of the Lenders or any Agent, with the Collateral Agent, each Lender and the Agents receiving
an amount equal to its outstanding Senior Credit Obligations, or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all Senior Credit
Obligations, its Pro rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed, (ii) an amount equal to the Swap Obligations being paid
to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) for the Swap Creditors,
with each Swap Creditor receiving an amount equal to the outstanding Swap Obligations owed to it by the Loan Parties or, if the
proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Swap Obligations, its Pro rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed
and (iii) an amount equal to the Cash Management Obligations being paid to Cash Management Banks, with each Cash Management
Bank receiving an amount equal to the outstanding Cash Management Obligations it entered into with a Loan Party or, if the proceeds
are insufficient to pay in full all such obligations, its Pro rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed; and
SIXTH, to
the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
In carrying out the foregoing,
(i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding
category; (ii) each of the Finance Parties shall receive an amount equal to its Pro rata Share of amounts available to be applied
pursuant to clauses THIRD, FOURTH and FIFTH above; and (iii) to the extent that any amounts available for
distribution pursuant to clause FIFTH above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of
Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 2.16, such amounts
shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (x) first, to reimburse each applicable L/C Issuer
from time to time for any drawings under any Letters of Credit and (y) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit,
to all other obligations of the types described in clause FIFTH above in the manner provided in this Section 8.03.
(b) Pro
rata Treatment. For purposes of this Section 8.03, “Pro rata Share” means, when calculating a
Finance Party’s portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator
of which is the then unpaid amount of such Finance Party’s Senior Credit Obligations, Swap Obligations or Cash Management
Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Senior Credit Obligations,
Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, as the case may be. If any payment to any Finance Party of its Pro rata Share
of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Finance Party, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect
of the unpaid Senior Credit Obligations, Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Finance
Parties, with each Finance Party whose Senior Credit Obligations, Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, as the case
may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which
is the unpaid Senior Credit Obligations, Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, as the case may be, of such Finance Party
and the denominator of which is the unpaid Senior Credit Obligations, Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, as the case
may be, of all Finance Parties entitled to such distribution.
(c) Distributions
with Respect to Letters of Credit. Each of the Finance Parties agrees and acknowledges that if (after all outstanding Loans
and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit have been paid in full) the Lenders are to receive a distribution
on account of undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued (or deemed issued) under this Agreement, such amounts shall
be deposited in a cash collateral account to be controlled by the Collateral Agent as cash security for the repayment of Finance
Obligations owing to the Lenders as such. Upon termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit, all of such cash security shall
be applied to the remaining Finance Obligations of the Lenders. If there remains any excess cash security, such excess cash shall
be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent from such cash collateral account and distributed in accordance with Section 8.03(a)
hereof.
(d) Reliance
by Collateral Agent. For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 8.03, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and (ii) the Representative, if any, for
the Swap Creditors for a determination (which the Administrative Agent, each Representative for any Swap Creditor and the Finance
Parties agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Senior Credit Obligations and
Swap Obligations owed to the Agents, the Lenders or the Swap Creditors, as the case may be. Unless it has actual knowledge (including
by way of written notice from a Swap Creditor or any Representatives thereof) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, in acting
hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Swap Agreements are in existence.
ARTICLE IX.
AGENCY PROVISIONS
Section 9.01 Appointment
and Authority. Each of the Lenders and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Barclays Bank PLC, to act on its behalf
as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions
on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Lenders and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints
Barclays Bank PLC, to act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the
Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the
terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article
are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers,
and none of the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
Each L/C Issuer shall
act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith,
and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (a) provided to the Agents in this Article with respect to any
acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued
by it and L/C Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article
and the definition of “Agent Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (b)
as additionally provided herein with respect to each L/C Issuer.
Section 9.02 Rights
as a Lender. Each Person serving as an Agent or a Lead Arranger hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity
as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent or a Lead Arranger, as applicable, and
the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise
requires, include the Person serving as an Agent or a Lead Arranger, as applicable, hereunder in its individual capacity. Such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other
advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof
as if such Person were not an Agent or a Lead Arranger, as applicable, hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders.
Section 9.03 Exculpatory
Provisions. Each Agent and each Lead Arranger, each in its capacity as such, shall not have any obligations, duties or responsibilities
under this Agreement but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Article IX. The Administrative Agent shall not have any
duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, none of the Agents or any Lead Arranger:
(i) shall
be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii) shall
have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required
Lenders (or such other number of percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents);
provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel,
may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt
any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification
or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Bankruptcy Law; and
(iii) shall,
except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the
Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
No Agent shall be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances
as provided in Article VIII and Section 10.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge
or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by the Borrower,
a Lender or an L/C Issuer and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”
No Agent shall be responsible
for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder
or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms
or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of
any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required
to be delivered to such Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this
Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other
implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term us used merely as a matter
of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
Each party to this Agreement
acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent will use an outside service provider for the tracking of all UCC financing
statements required to be filed pursuant to the Loan Documents and notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things,
the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by such service provider.
Section 9.04 Reliance
by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet
website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by
the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction
of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or L/C Issuer
unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making
of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance
with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 9.05 Delegation
of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other
Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any
such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 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 Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence
or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable
judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
Section 9.06 Indemnification
of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand each
Agent Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of any
Loan Party to do so) on a pro rata basis (determined as of the time that the applicable payment is sought based on each Lender’s
ratable share at such time) and hold harmless each Agent Related Person against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by
it; provided that (a) no Lender shall be liable for payment to any Agent Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from
such Agent Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct (and no action taken in accordance with the directions
of the Required Lender shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section) and (b)
to the extent any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender is entitled to indemnification under this Section solely in its capacity and
role as an L/C Issuer or as a Swing Line Lender, as applicable, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to indemnify such
L/C Issuer or such Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section (determined as of the time that the applicable
payment is sought based on each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof at such time). In the case of
any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section applies whether any such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse
the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees, disbursements
and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect
of rights and responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein,
to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such costs or expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower.
Section 9.07 Resignation
of Agents. Each Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower. Upon
receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred or is continuing, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a
successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within
30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the
L/C Issuers, with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided
that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such
resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held
by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent
shall continue to hold as nominee such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (b)
all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through an Agent shall instead be made by or to each
Lender and L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this

to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) (and for the avoidance
of doubt, any successor Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of any Swap Agreements outstanding at such time),
Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
(if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.07). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After
the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section
10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
Any resignation by Barclays
Bank PLC as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer
and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of a retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line
Lender, (ii) a retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for
the Letters of Credit issued by the retiring L/C Issuer, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements
satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters
of Credit.
Section 9.08 Non-Reliance
on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent Related Person or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender further represents and
warrants that it has reviewed each document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged
and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof and each L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents
and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section 9.09 No
Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Agents or any Lead Arranger shall have any
powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable,
as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder.
Section 9.10 Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, examinership, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative
Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or
by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall
be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations
and all other Senior Credit Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable
in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective
agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.09
and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding;
(ii) to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and
(iii) and
any custodian, receiver, examiner, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding
is hereby authorized by each Lender and L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the
Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative
Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.09 and 10.04.
Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Senior Credit Obligations or the rights of any Lender
or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
Section 9.11 Collateral
and Guaranty Matters. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required
Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater or lesser proportion of the Lenders) in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater or lesser proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein,
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent,
at its option and in its discretion:
(i) to
release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under any Finance Document
(A) upon Discharge of Senior Credit Obligations, (B) that is sold, transferred, disposed or to be sold, transferred, disposed as
part of or in connection with any Disposition (other than any sale to a Loan Party) permitted hereunder, (C) subject to Section
10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or (D) to the extent such property is owned by
a Guarantor upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (iii) below;
(ii) to
subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document
to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clause (c) or (d) of the definition of Permitted
Encumbrances;
(iii) to
release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or
becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (or designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in
accordance with Section 6.10); and
(iv) to
enter into non-disturbance and similar agreements in connection with the licensing of intellectual property permitted pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent
at any time the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its
interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement
pursuant to this Section 9.11.
In each case as specified
in this Section 9.11, the applicable Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the applicable Agent to), at the
Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request
(i) to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under
the Collateral Documents, (ii) to enter into non-disturbance or similar agreements in connection with the licensing of intellectual
property or (iii) to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11 and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Agent.
Section 9.12 Related
Obligations. The benefit of the Loan Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Collateral shall extend
to and be available in respect of any Swap Obligations and Cash Management Obligations permitted hereunder from time to time owing
to one or more Affiliates of one or more Lenders or owing to one or more Swap Creditors or Cash Management Banks (collectively,
“Related Obligations”) solely on the condition and understanding, as among the Collateral Agent and all Finance
Parties, that (i) the Related Obligations shall be entitled to the benefit of the Loan Documents and the Collateral to the extent
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to such extent the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent shall hold, and have the right and power to act with respect to, the Guaranty Agreement and the Collateral on behalf of and
as agent for the holders of the Related Obligations, but the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are otherwise acting
solely as agent for the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and shall have no fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure
or other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Related Obligations, (ii) all matters, acts and omissions relating in any manner
to the Guaranty Agreement, the Collateral, or the omission, creation, perfection, priority, abandonment or release of any Lien,
shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no separate Lien, right, power or
remedy shall arise or exist in favor of any Finance Party under any separate instrument or agreement or in respect of any Related
Obligation, (iii) each Finance Party shall be bound by all actions taken or omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders, as applicable,
each of whom shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion and exclusively in its own interest given its own Commitments and
its own interest in the Loans, L/C Obligations and other Senior Credit Obligations to it arising under this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, without any duty or liability to any Swap Creditor or Cash Management Bank or as to any Related Obligation and
without regard to whether any Related Obligation remains outstanding or is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral or becomes
unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby and (iv) no holder of Related Obligations and no other Finance Party
(except the Lenders to the extent set forth in this Agreement) shall have any right to be notified of, or to direct, require or
be heard with respect to, or to consent to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under this Agreement or
the Loan Documents.
Section 9.13 Withholding
Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may deduct or withhold from any payment to any
Lender Party an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section
3.01, each Lender Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, within 10 days after written demand
therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges, and disbursements
of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service
or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts
paid to or for the account of any Lender Party for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was
not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender Party failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances
that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered
to any Lender Party by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender Party hereby authorizes
the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.13. The agreements in this
Section 9.13 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by,
or the replacement of, a Lender Party, the termination of the Agreement or Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge
of all other obligations.

and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such
Lender.
(d) Posting.
Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that
it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including all notices,
requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such
communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, Borrowing or other extension of credit (including
any election of an interest rate or Interest Period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount
due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default under this Agreement or (iv)
is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other
extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications, collectively, the “Communications”; such
excluded communications the “Excluded Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft
medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at vanessa.kurbatskiy@barclays.com and ltmny@Barclays.com
or at such other e-mail address(es) provided to the Borrower from time to time or in such other form, including hard copy delivery
thereof, as the Administrative Agent shall require. In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the Communications
to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in such other form, including
hard copy delivery thereof, as the Administrative Agent shall require. Nothing in this Section 10.02 shall prejudice the
right of the Agents, any Lender or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or as any such Agent shall require. Excluded
Communications shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent by facsimile communication or as the Administrative Agent shall direct.
The Communications required
to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been
delivered on the date (i), in the case of financial statements and Communications referred to in Sections 6.01(a) and (b)
and Section 6.02 on which such financial statements and/or appropriate disclosures are publicly available as posted on the
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (EDGAR) or any successor filing system of the SEC, (ii) Borrower posts
such documents, or provides a link thereto on the Borrower’s website on the Internet; or (iii) on which such documents are
posted on the Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or Intranet website, if any, to which the Administrative Agent has access
(whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided that: (i) upon written
request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver copies (which may be electronic) of such documents to the Administrative
Agent until a written request to cease delivering copies is given by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Borrower shall notify
(which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative Agent (and each Lender if there is at the time no incumbent Administrative
Agent) of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e.
soft copies) of such documents. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies
of the documents referred to above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower with any
such request for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies
of such documents. Furthermore, if any financial statement, certificate or other information required to be delivered pursuant
to Section 6.01 shall be required to be delivered on any date that is not a Business Day, such financial statement, certificate
or other information may be delivered to the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day after such date.
To the extent consented
to by the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time, the Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications
by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address(es) set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications
to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents; provided that the Borrower shall also deliver to the Administrative
Agent an executed original of each Compliance Certificate required to be delivered hereunder.
Each Loan Party further
agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on a Platform.
The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agents do not warrant the accuracy or completeness
of the Communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.
No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness
for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any
Agent in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties
have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any other Person for damages of any kind, including direct
or indirect, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative
Agent’s transmission of communications through the Internet, except to the extent the liability of such Person is found in
a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct. Additionally, in no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties have any
liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any other Person for any special, incidental or consequential damages.
The Borrower hereby acknowledges
that (i) the Administrative Agent and/or the Lead Arranger will make available to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers materials and/or
information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting
the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain
of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information
with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing) (each, a “Public
Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that so long as the Borrower is the issuer of any outstanding debt or equity securities
that are issued pursuant to a public offering registered with the SEC or in a private placement for resale pursuant to Rule 144A
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or is actively contemplating issuing any such securities: (i) all Borrower Materials
are to be made available to Public Lenders unless clearly and conspicuously marked “Private – Contains Non-Public Information”
which, at a minimum, shall mean that the words “Private – Contains Non-Public Information” shall appear prominently
on the first page thereof; (ii) by not marking Borrower Materials “Private – Contains Non-Public Information,”
the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders to

delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor

agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative

Section 10.06 Successors
and Assigns.
(a) Successors
and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any
of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Swing
Line Lender and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i)
to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) below, (ii) by way of participation in accordance
with the provisions of clause (d) below or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions
of clause (f) below (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower or any Lender shall be null and void).
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) below and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.
(b) Assignments
by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall
not include any Disqualified Institution, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or
a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including for purposes of this clause (b), any Participation Interests in the
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided, however, that:
(i) except
in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans owing to it
or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate
amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Revolving Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving
Commitments are not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Revolving 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 or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall
not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no payment or bankruptcy Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided
that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to
the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower has received notice thereof); provided, however,
that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single
Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes
of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;
(ii) each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders’ rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the class of Loans or the class of Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii)
shall not apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans;
(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 in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in
its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; provided, further,
that only a single processing and recordation fee shall be payable in respect of multiple contemporaneous assignments to Approved
Funds with respect to any Lender. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire;
(iv) No
such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (iv); and
(v) In
connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective
unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional
payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be
outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding,
with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but
not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x)
pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder
(and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations
in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without
compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender
for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01,
3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note or Notes to the assignee Lender. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b)
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 clause (d) below.
(c) Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans and L/C Obligations
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall record
each transfer of the Loans to a transferee upon written notification by the registered owner of such transfer; provided,
however, that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s
Commitments in respect of any Loan. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to
the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition,
the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of
any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the L/C Issuers, the Collateral
Agent, the Swing Line Lender and, with respect to its own interest only, any other Lender, at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers or the
Swing Line Lender sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Disqualified Institution; provided, however, that, participations may be sold to Disqualified Institutions unless
a list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available to all Lenders by or on behalf of the Borrower) (each, a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided
that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible
to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
and L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the
Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that
such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant.
Subject to clause (e) below, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
3.01 or 3.04, and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections) to the same extent as if
it were a Lender (but, with respect to any particular Participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation
to such Participant) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) above. To the extent permitted by
Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender (but, with respect
to any particular Participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such Participant); provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.
Each Lender that sells
a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it
enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided
that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the
identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Credit Extensions
or other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit
or other proceeding to establish that any such Commitment, Credit Extension 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.
No participation shall
be or shall be deemed to be a discharge, rescission, extinguishment or substitution of any outstanding Loan and any Loan subject
to a participation shall continue to be the same obligation and not a new obligation.
(e) Limitations
on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or
3.04 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 Participation is made with the Borrower’s prior consent.
(f) Certain
Pledges. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, pledge or assign
a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations
of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee
or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g) Electronic
Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of
like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic
form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of
a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the
Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or
any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
(h) Disqualified
Institution Information. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Administrative
Agent shall not (i) except to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) in taking or failing to take any action, be responsible for, have any liability
with respect to, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement
relating to Disqualified Institutions or have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of
Loans or Commitments to any Disqualified Lender and (ii) except to the extent arising out of its gross negligence or willful misconduct
(as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), have any liability with respect to any
disclosure of confidential information to any Disqualified Institutions.
Section 10.07 Treatment
of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Lenders and each L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality
of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’
respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, managing members or managers, counsel, accountants and other
representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (it
being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information
and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or regulatory
authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) (in which case,
the Administrative Agent or such Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower prior
to such disclosure to the extent practicable and legally permitted to do so), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or
by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder
or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement
of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) to any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating any Lender, (g) (i) any
rating agency, and (ii) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07,
to (x) any assignee of or Participant (other than any Disqualified Institution; provided, however, that, participations
may be sold to Disqualified Institutions unless a list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available to all Lenders by or
on behalf of the Borrower) in (or their Representatives, it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will
be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in (or their Representatives, it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will
be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential) any of its rights
or obligations under this Agreement or (y) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Representatives, it being understood
that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed
to keep such Information confidential) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (h)
with the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of
a breach of this Section and not in breach of any agreement binding on any Person (to the knowledge of such Person) or (y) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis
from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from
or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
businesses or Affiliates, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C
Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain
the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so
if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord
to its own confidential information.
Section 10.08 Right
of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, and each of their respective
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the full extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and
apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and
other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the then due and owing obligations of the
Borrower or such Loan Party, as applicable, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender
or L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or (x) such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or (y) are owed to a branch or office of such Lender
or L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that
in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over
immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending
such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement
describing in reasonable detail the Senior Credit Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right
of setoff. The rights of each Lender and L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other
rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.
Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application;
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
Section 10.09 Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be
paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate,
the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.
In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum
Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense,
fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate,
and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Senior Credit Obligations
hereunder.
Section 10.10 Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute
the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings,
oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof; provided that, notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Fee
Letter shall survive the Closing Date. 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
that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature
page of this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 10.11 Survival
of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and
in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other
party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agents, the L/C Issuers or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
Default, Event of Default, or incorrect representation or warranty at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full
force and effect until the Discharge of Senior Credit Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations). The provisions
of Sections 2.14, 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04, and Sections 10.10 through 10.15 shall
survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Loans, the payment of the Reimbursement Obligations,
the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision
hereof.
Section 10.12 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. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the
extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Bankruptcy
Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such
provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
Section 10.13 Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) Governing
Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract
or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other
Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein), and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the Law of the State of New York.
(b) Submission
to Jurisdiction. Each party 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 irrevocably and unconditionally
submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may
be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the full extent permitted by applicable Law, in such Federal court.
Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation 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
in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may otherwise have
to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties
in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Waiver

to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 10.13(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the full extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
such action or proceeding in any such court.

relating to any Loan Document, in the manner provided for notices (other than telecopier) in Section 10.02. Nothing in this

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 (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 10.13.
Section 10.14 PATRIOT
Act. Each Lender that is subject to the U.S. Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any
Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower and the other Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act (Title III
of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Patriot Act”)), it is required to obtain, verify
and record information that identifies the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, which information includes the name, address and
tax identification number of each Loan Party and other information regarding the Borrower and the other Loan Parties that will
allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.
This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the Patriot Act and is effective as to the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent.
Section 10.15 No
Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower
acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) the credit facilities provided for hereunder
and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower and its
Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Lenders, on the other
hand, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of
the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof
or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and
the Lead Arranger are and have been acting solely as a principal and are not the agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of
its Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent nor the Lead Arranger has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower
with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment,
waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or the Lead Arranger has advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and neither
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor the Lead Arranger has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents; (iv) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged
in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither
the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor the Lead Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue
of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lead Arranger

of such Subsidiary are at the time directly or indirectly owned by such Person.

Interpretative Provisions. With reference to this Agreement and each other Loan Document, unless otherwise specified herein
or in such other Loan Document:
(a) The
definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may
require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,”
“includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without
limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.”
Unless the context requires otherwise, (i) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document (including
any Organization Document) shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth
herein or in any other Loan Document), (ii) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s
successors and assigns, (iii) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder”
and words of similar import when used in any Loan Document shall be construed to refer to such Loan Document in its entirety and
not to any particular provision thereof, (iv) all references in a Loan Document to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall

modified or supplemented from time to time and (vi) the words “asset” and “property” shall
be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including
cash, securities, accounts and contract rights.
(b) In
the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from
and including,” the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding”
and the word “through” means “to and including.”
(c) Section
headings herein and in the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Section 1.03 Accounting
Terms and Determinations.
(a) Generally.
All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data
(including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared
in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, except as otherwise specifically prescribed
herein, in any other Loan Document or as disclosed to the Administrative Agent.
(b) Changes
in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth
in any Loan Document, and either (x) the Borrower or (y) within 30 days after delivery of any financial statements reflecting any
change in GAAP (or after the Lenders have been informed of the change in GAAP affecting such financial statements, if later), the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate
in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (subject
to the approval of the Required Lenders); provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue
to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders financial statements and any other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder
setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change
in GAAP. Notwithstanding any change in GAAP after the Closing Date that would require lease obligations that would be treated as
operating leases as of the Closing Date to the classified and accounted for as capital leases or otherwise reflected on the Loan
Parties’ consolidated balance sheet, for the purposes of determining compliance with any covenant contained herein, such
obligations shall be treated in the same manner as operating leases are treated as of the Closing Date.
(c) Pro
Forma Calculations. All pro forma computations required to be made in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document
giving effect to any Material Disposition, Permitted Acquisition, other Investment permitted hereunder, any merger and acquisition
permitted hereunder, designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, redemption or repayment of Indebtedness or issuance,
incurrence or assumption of Indebtedness shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto immediately after giving
effect to such acquisition, disposition, designation, redemption or repayment of Indebtedness, or issuance, incurrence or assumption
of Indebtedness (and to any other such transaction consummated since the first day of the period for which such pro forma
computation is being made and on or prior to the date of such computation) as if such transaction (and any other such transactions)
had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period, and, to the extent applicable, the historical earnings and cash flows
associated with the assets acquired or disposed of, any related repayment, redemption, incurrence or reduction of Indebtedness
(each such calculation, calculated on a “Pro Forma Basis”). If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest
and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the
date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Swap Agreement applicable to
such Indebtedness).
(d) Limited
Condition Transaction. In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for
purposes of determining compliance with clause (y) in the proviso set forth in Section 2.15(a) and Section
2.15(b)(iii) which requires the calculation of any financial ratio or test, including the Secured Leverage Ratio and the Total
Leverage Ratio, each calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise
such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination
of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition
Transaction is entered into (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited
Condition Transaction, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries would have been permitted to take such action on the
relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such provision. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election
and any of such provisions as of the LCT Test Date would have failed to have been satisfied as a result of fluctuations in the
Secured Leverage Ratio, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such provisions will not be deemed
to have failed to have been satisfied as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited
Condition Transaction, then in connection with any event or transaction occurring after the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to
the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement or
date for redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment specified in an irrevocable notice for such
Limited Condition Transaction is terminated, expires or passes, as applicable, without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction
(a “Subsequent Transaction”) in connection with which a ratio, test or basket availability calculation must
be made on a Pro Forma Basis or giving pro forma effect to such Subsequent Transaction, for purposes of determining whether
such ratio, test or basket availability has been complied with under this Agreement, any such ratio, test or basket shall be required
to be satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction has not been consummated until such time as such
Limited Condition Transaction has been consummated.
(e) Foreign
Currency Calculations. For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of
Indebtedness, the Dollar equivalent of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant
currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the
case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew
or defease other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal
or defeasance would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange
rate in effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance, such Dollar-denominated
restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not
exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased. The principal
amount of any Indebtedness incurred to extend, replace, refund, refinance, renew or defease other Indebtedness, if incurred in
a different currency from the Indebtedness being extended, replaced, refunded, refinanced, renewed or defeased, shall be calculated
based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in
effect on the date of such extension, replacement, refunding, refinancing, renewal or defeasance.
Section 1.04 Rounding.
Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement
shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the
number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up
if there is no nearest number).
Section 1.05 Times
of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or
standard, as applicable).
Section 1.06 Letter
of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the
stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter
of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any L/C Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in
the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter
of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
Section 1.07 Classes
and Types of Borrowings. The term “Borrowing” denotes the aggregation of Loans of one or more Lenders made
to the Borrower pursuant to Article II on the same date, all of which Loans are of the same Class and Type (subject to
Article III) and, except in the case of Base Rate Loans, have the same initial Interest Period. Loans hereunder are distinguished
by “Class” and “Type.” The “Class” of a Loan (or of a Commitment to make such a Loan or of
a Borrowing comprised of such Loans) refers to whether such Loan is a Revolving Loan, a Term Loan, an Incremental Revolving Loan,
an Incremental Term Loan, an Other Revolving Loan or an Other Term Loan. The “Type” of a Loan refers to whether
such Loan is a Eurodollar Loan or a Base Rate Loan. Identification of a Loan (or a Borrowing) by both Class and Type (e.g., a
“Term Eurodollar Loan”) indicates that such Loan is a Loan of both such Class and such Type (e.g., both a Term Loan
and a Eurodollar Loan) or that such Borrowing is comprised of such Loans.
ARTICLE II.
THE CREDIT FACILITIES
Section 2.01 Commitments
To Lend.
(a) Revolving
Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans
to the Borrower in Dollars pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period,
commencing on the second Business Day of the Revolving Availability Period, in amounts such that its Revolving Outstandings shall
not exceed (after giving effect to all Revolving Loans repaid, all reimbursements of L/C Disbursements made, and all Refunded Swing
Line Loans paid concurrently with the making of any Revolving Loans) its Revolving Commitment; provided that, immediately
after giving effect to each such Revolving Loan, (i) the aggregate Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Committed
Amount and (ii) with respect to each Revolving Lender individually, such Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans plus its (other
than the Swing Line Lender’s in its capacity as such) Participation Interests in outstanding Swing Line Loans plus its Participation
Interests in outstanding L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving
Committed Amount. Each Revolving Borrowing comprised of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000
or any larger multiple of $100,000, and each Revolving Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate principal
amount of $500,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000 (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount of the unused
Revolving Commitments and any L/C Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount of any outstanding Unreimbursed Amounts owed to one
or more L/C Issuers as provided in Section 2.05(e)(iv)) and shall be made from the several Revolving Lenders ratably in
proportion to their respective Revolving Commitment. No more than ten (10) Revolving Borrowings shall be outstanding at any time.
Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), repay, or, to the extent permitted by Section
2.09, prepay, Revolving Loans and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a).
(b) Term
Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender severally agrees to make a Term Loan to the
Borrower in Dollars on the Closing Date in a principal amount not exceeding its Term Commitment. The Term Borrowing shall be made
from the several Term Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Term Commitments. The Term Commitments are not revolving
in nature, and amounts repaid or prepaid prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date may not be reborrowed. Any Term Commitments not funded
on the Closing Date will be terminated.
(c) Swing
Line Loans. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the
agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this clause (c), to make a portion of the Revolving Commitments available
to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period by making Swing Line Loans to the Borrower in Dollars
(each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan” and, collectively, the “Swing Line Loans”); provided
that (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Line Loans outstanding at any one time shall not exceed the Swing Line Committed
Amount, (B) each Swing Line Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or any larger multiple of $100,000,
(C) with regard to each Lender individually (other than the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such), such Lender’s outstanding
Revolving Loans plus its Participation Interests in outstanding Swing Line Loans plus its Participation Interests in outstanding
L/C Obligations shall not at any time exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount,
(D) with regard to the Revolving Lenders collectively, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding
plus the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans outstanding plus the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations outstanding shall not exceed
the Revolving Committed Amount, (E) the Swing Line Committed Amount shall not exceed the aggregate of the Revolving Commitments
then in effect, (F) no Swing Line Loans may be drawn on the Closing Date or the Revolving Termination Date and (G) the Swing Line
Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loans if any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender
hereunder, unless the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory
to the Swing Line Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Revolving Lender to eliminate the Swing Line Lenders’
actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender
arising from either the Swing Line Loans then proposed to be made and all other Swing Line Loans as to which the Swing Line Lender
has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. Swing Line Loans shall be made and maintained
as Base Rate Loans and may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof prior to the Swing Line Termination
Date. Swing Line Loans may be made notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Swing Line Lender’s
other Revolving Outstandings, exceed its Revolving Commitment. The proceeds of a Swing Line Borrowing may not be used, in whole
or in part, to refund any prior Swing Line Borrowing.
(ii) The
principal amount of all Swing Line Loans shall be due and payable on the earliest of (A) the fifth day after the incurrence of
such Swing Line Loan, unless another maturity date shall be agreed to by the Swing Line Lender and the Borrower with respect to
such Swing Line Loan, (B) the Swing Line Termination Date, (C) the occurrence of any proceeding with respect to the Borrower
under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or (D) the acceleration of any Loan or the termination of the Revolving Commitments
pursuant to Section 8.02.
(iii) With
respect to any Swing Line Loans that have not been voluntarily prepaid by the Borrower or paid by the Borrower when due under clause
(ii) above, the Swing Line Lender (by request to the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent at any time may, on
one Business Day’s notice, require each Revolving Lender, including the Swing Line Lender, and each such Lender hereby agrees,
subject to the provisions of this Section 2.01(c), to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be initially funded as a Base Rate
Loan) in an amount in Dollars equal to such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Line Loans
(the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date notice is given.
(iv) In
the case of Revolving Loans made by Lenders other than the Swing Line Lender under clause (iii) above, each such Revolving
Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the Administrative
Agent’s Office, not later than 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given. The proceeds
of such Revolving Loans shall be immediately delivered to the Swing Line Lender (and not to the Borrower) and applied to repay
the Refunded Swing Line Loans. On the day such Revolving Loans are made, the Swing Line Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage
of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by the Swing Line Lender
and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall instead
be outstanding as Revolving Loans. The Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender to charge the Borrower’s
account with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in such account) in order to pay immediately to the Swing Line
Lender the amount of such Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders, including amounts
deemed to be received from the Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion
of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from
the Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered
shall be ratably shared among all Revolving Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.13.
(v) A
copy of each notice given by the Swing Line Lender pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) shall be promptly delivered by
the Swing Line Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Upon the making of a Revolving Loan by a Revolving Lender pursuant
to this Section 2.01(c), the amount so funded shall no longer be owed in respect of its Participation Interest in the related
Refunded Swing Line Loans.
(vi) If
as a result of any proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to this Section
2.01(c) sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swing Line Lender as a result of a nonpayment of outstanding Swing Line
Loans, each Revolving Lender agrees to purchase, and shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in such outstanding Swing
Line Loans in an amount equal to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon.
Upon one Business Day’s notice from the Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender shall deliver to the Swing Line Lender an
amount equal to its respective Participation Interest in such Swing Line Loans in same day funds at the office of the Swing Line
Lender specified or referred to in Section 10.02. In order to evidence such Participation Interest each Revolving Lender
agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of the Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to all parties. In the event any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Swing Line Lender the amount of such Revolving
Lender’s Participation Interest as provided in this Section 2.01(c)(vi), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to
recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest at the customary rate set by the Swing Line Lender
for correction of errors among banks in New York City for one Business Day and thereafter at the Base Rate plus the then Applicable
Margin for Base Rate Loans.
(vii) Each
Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (iv) above and to purchase Participation
Interests in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to clause (vi) above shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by any circumstance, including (without limitation) (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
which such Revolving Lender or any other Person may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (ii)
the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination or reduction in the amount of the Revolving
Commitments after any such Swing Line Loans were made, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the
Borrower or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Finance Document by the Borrower or any other Lender,
(v) whether any condition specified in Article IV is then satisfied or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever,
whether or not similar to any of the forgoing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Swing Line Lender’s
demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to continue
to have outstanding Swing Line Loans in the amount of such unpaid Participation Interest for all purposes of the Finance Documents
other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein. Further, such Lender shall be deemed
to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans, and any other amounts due to it hereunder, to
the Swing Line Lender to fund Swing Line Loans in the amount of the Participation Interest in Swing Line Loans that such Lender
failed to purchase pursuant to this Section 2.01(c)(vii) until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment
or otherwise).
Section 2.02 Notice
of Borrowings.
(a) Borrowings
Other Than Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings. Except in the case of Swing Line Loans and L/C Borrowings, the Borrower
shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 not later
than 12:00 P.M. on (i) the first Business Day before the proposed Base Rate Borrowing and (ii) the third Business Day before each
proposed Eurodollar Loan (unless the Borrower wishes to request an Interest Period for such Borrowing other than one, three or
six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” in which case on the fourth Business Day
before each such Eurodollar Loan), specifying:
(i) the
date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(ii) the
aggregate amount of such Borrowing;
(iii) the
Class and initial Type of the Loans comprising such Borrowing;
(iv) in
the case of a Eurodollar Loan, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the
definition of “Interest Period” and to Section 2.06(a); and
(v) the
location (which must be in the United States) and number of the Borrower’s account, to which funds are to be disbursed, which
shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.03.
If the duration of the initial Interest
Period is not specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Loan, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an initial
Interest Period of one month, subject to the provisions of the definition of “Interest Period” and to Section 2.06(a).
(b) Swing
Line Borrowings. The Borrower shall request a Swing Line Loan by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit
A-4 hereto (a “Swing Line Loan Request”) to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later
than 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day of the requested Swing Line Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i)
that a Swing Line Loan is requested, (ii) the date of the requested Swing Line Loan (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the
principal amount of the Swing Line Loan requested. Each Swing Line Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan and, subject to Section
2.01(c)(ii), shall have such maturity date as agreed to by the Swing Line Lender and the Borrower upon receipt by the Swing
Line Lender of the Swing Line Loan Request from the Borrower.
(c) L/C
Borrowings. Each L/C Borrowing shall be made as specified in Section 2.05(e)(iv) without the necessity of a
Notice of Borrowing.
Section 2.03 Notice
to Lenders; Funding of Loans.
(a) Notice
to Lenders. If the Borrower has requested an Interest Period of other than one, three or six months in duration, the Administrative
Agent shall give prompt notice of such request to the applicable Lenders and determine whether the requested Interest Period is
acceptable to all of them. Not later than 11:00 A.M. on the third Business Day before the requested date of such a Eurodollar Loan,
the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the
Lenders. Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Lender’s
ratable share (if any) of the Borrowing referred to therein, and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by
the Borrower.
(b) Funding
of Loans. (i) Not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date of each Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing and an L/C Borrowing),
each Lender participating therein shall make available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other immediately available funds,
to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable
condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall make the funds so received available
to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (A) crediting the account of the Borrower on the
books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (B) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance
with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in the applicable Notice
of Borrowing, or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein shall not have been met, promptly
return the amounts received from the Lenders in like funds, without interest.
(ii) Not
later than 3:00 P.M. on the date of each Swing Line Borrowing, the Swing Line Lender shall, unless the Administrative Agent shall
have notified the Swing Line Lender that any applicable condition specified in Article IV has not been satisfied, make available
the amount of such Swing Line Borrowing, in Federal or other immediately available funds, to the Borrower at the Swing Line Lender’s
address referred to in Section 10.02.
(iii) Not
later than 1:00 P.M. on the date of each L/C Borrowing, each Revolving Lender shall make available its share of such Borrowing,
in Federal or other immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office. The Administrative
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer which has issued Letters of Credit having outstanding Unreimbursed Amounts
as contemplated by Section 2.05(e)(v).
(c) Funding
by the Administrative Agent in Anticipation of Amounts Due from the Lenders. 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
to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with clause (b) above, and the Administrative Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, but is not required to, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.
In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent then
the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available
to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such
Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable thereto
pursuant to Section 2.06. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same
or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the
Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount
so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice
to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. A
notice of the Administrative Agent to a Lender, the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (c) shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d) Failed
Loans. If any Lender shall fail to make any Loan (a “Failed Loan”) which such Lender is otherwise obligated
hereunder to make to the Borrower on the date of Borrowing thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall not have received notice
from the Borrower or such Lender that any condition precedent to the making of the Failed Loan has not been satisfied, then, until
such Lender shall have made or be deemed to have made (pursuant to the last sentence of this clause (d)), the Failed Loan
in full or the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower or such Lender that any condition precedent to
the making of the Failed Loan was not satisfied at the time the Failed Loan was to have been made, whenever the Administrative
Agent shall receive any amount from the Borrower for the account of such Lender, (i) the amount so received (up to the amount of
such Failed Loan) will, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been paid to the Lender in satisfaction of
the obligation for which paid, without actual disbursement of such amount to the Lender, (ii) the Lender will be deemed to have
made the same amount available to the Administrative Agent for disbursement as a Loan to the Borrower (up to the amount of such
Failed Loan) and (iii) the Administrative Agent will disburse such amount (up to the amount of the Failed Loan) to the Borrower
or, if the Administrative Agent has previously made such amount available to the Borrower on behalf of such Lender pursuant to
the provisions hereof, reimburse itself (up to the amount of the amount made available to the Borrower); provided, however,
that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disburse any such amount to the Borrower, or otherwise apply it or deem
it applied as provided herein unless the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its sole discretion that to so disburse
such amount will not violate any Law, rule, regulation or requirement applicable to the Administrative Agent. Upon any such disbursement
by the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan of the same Class as the Failed Loan to
the Borrower in satisfaction, as applicable, to the extent thereof, of such Lender’s obligation to make the Failed Loan.
Section 2.04 Evidence
of Loans.
(a) Lender
and Administrative Agent Accounts; Notes. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts
or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records
maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions
made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall
not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Senior
Credit Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute
and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a single Revolving Note or Term Note, as applicable, in each case,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 or B-2, as applicable, payable to the order of such Lender for the account
of its Lending Office in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving or Term Loans,
as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. If requested by the Swing
Line Lender, the Swing Line Loans shall be evidenced by a single Swing Line Note, substantially in the form of Exhibit B-3,
payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans.
Each Lender having one or more Notes shall record the date, amount, Class and Type of each Loan made by it and the date and amount
of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and may, if such Lender so elects in connection with any
transfer or enforcement of any Note, endorse on the reverse side or on the schedule, if any, forming a part thereof appropriate
notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each outstanding Loan evidenced thereby; provided that the
failure of any Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement or any error in any such recordation or endorsement shall not
affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any such Note. Each Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower
so to endorse each of its Notes and to attach to and make a part of each of its Notes a continuation of any such schedule as and
when required.
(b) Certain
Participation Interests. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in clause (a) above, each Lender and
the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing purchases and sales
by such Lender of Participation Interests in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts
and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
Section 2.05 Letters
of Credit.
(a) Letters
of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the
agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during
the period after the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue standby Letters of Credit for the account,
and upon the request, of the Borrower (or jointly for the account of the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries), and to amend or
extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with clause (c) below and (B) to honor drawings under its
Letters of Credit, and (ii) each Revolving Lender severally agrees to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and any drawing thereunder in accordance with the provisions of clause (e) below;
provided that, immediately after each Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations shall
not exceed the L/C Sublimit, (ii) the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by such
L/C Issuer shall not exceed its L/C Issuer Sublimit, (iii) the Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Committed
Amount and (iv) with respect to each individual Revolving Lender, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Revolving
Lender’s Revolving Loans plus its Participation Interests in outstanding L/C Obligations plus its (other than
the Swing Line Lender’s) Participation Interests in outstanding Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount. Each request by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for
the issuance or increase in the stated amount of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower or such
Subsidiary that the issuance or increase in the stated amount of such Letter of Credit complies with the conditions set forth in
the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s
ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the period specified in
clause (i)(A) above, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon
and reimbursed.
(b) Certain
Limitations on Issuances of Letters of Credit. (i) No L/C Issuer shall issue any Letter of Credit, if (A) subject to clause
(c) below with respect to Auto-Extension Letters of Credit, the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur
more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer
have approved such expiry date, or (B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit
Expiration Date.
(ii) No
L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental
Authority shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable
to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having a force of Law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction
over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally
or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction,
reserve or capital or liquidity requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on
the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing
Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it; (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit shall violate any
Laws or one or more policies of such L/C Issuer; (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and such L/C Issuer,
such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000; (D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency
other than Dollars; or (E) a default of any Revolving Lender’s obligations to fund under clause (e)(iv) or (vi)
below exists or any Revolving Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements,
including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Revolving
Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv))
with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit
and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole
discretion.
(iii) No
L/C Issuer shall amend any Letter of Credit if such L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit
in its amended form under the terms hereof.
(iv) No
L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such
time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit
does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
(v) Each
L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated
therewith, and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article
IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it
or proposed to be issued by it and the L/C Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative
Agent” as used in Article IX included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (B) as additionally
provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.
(c) Procedures
for Issuance and Increases in the Amounts of Letters of Credit. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended,
as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit A-3 hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”), appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower including agreed-upon draft language for such Letter of Credit reasonably
acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Request must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative
Agent not later than 2:00 P.M. at least four Business Days (or such later date and time as such L/C Issuer may agree in a particular
instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of increase, as the case may be. In the case of a
request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify in form and detail reasonably
satisfactory to such L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day);
(B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to
be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such
beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as such L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case
of a request for an increase in the stated amount of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Request shall specify
in form and detail satisfactory to such L/C Issuer: (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment
thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the amount of the proposed increase; and (D) such other matters as such L/C Issuer
may reasonably require. If requested by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall also submit a Letter of Credit Application
on such L/C Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for the issuance or increase in the stated amount of a
Letter of Credit. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents
and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any L/C Documents, as such L/C Issuer
or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
(ii) Promptly
after receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone
or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Request from the Borrower and, if not,
such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such L/C Issuer has received written notice from
any Revolving Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance
or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not
then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter
of Credit for the account of the Borrower (or jointly for the account of the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into
the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business
practices.
(iii) If
the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole and absolute discretion,
agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”);
provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least
once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the
beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period
to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by such L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall
not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has
been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such L/C Issuer to permit the extension
of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however,
that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted,
or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof
(by reason of the provisions of clause (c)(i) or (ii) above or otherwise) or (B) it has received notice (which may
be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (x) from the
Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (y) from the Administrative
Agent or any Loan Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 are not then satisfied (for
the avoidance of doubt, the provision of any such notice to such L/C Issuer pursuant to this clause (y) shall not relieve
any Revolving Lender of its obligation to fund its share of any such Letter of Credit that is not extended, to the extent such
Letter of Credit is drawn under the terms of this Agreement), and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such
extension.
(iv) Promptly
after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to
the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete
copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(d) Purchase
and Sale of Letter of Credit Participation. Immediately upon the issuance by an L/C Issuer of a Letter of Credit, such
L/C Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving
Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such L/C Issuer, without recourse or
warranty, an undivided Participation Interest in such Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations in the proportion its Revolving
Commitment Percentage bears to the Revolving Committed Amount (although any fronting fee payable under Section 2.11 shall
be payable directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, and the Lenders (other than such
L/C Issuer) shall have no right to receive any portion of any such fronting fee) and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining
thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 10.06, there shall be an automatic adjustment
to the Participation Interests in all outstanding Letters of Credit and all L/C Obligations to reflect the adjusted Revolving Commitments
of the assigning and assignee Lenders or of all Lenders having Revolving Commitments, as the case may be.
(e) Drawings
and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice
of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
thereof and shall determine in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit whether such drawing should be honored. If the
applicable L/C Issuer determines that any such drawing shall be honored, such L/C Issuer shall make available to such beneficiary
in accordance with the terms of such Letter of Credit the amount of the drawing and shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent as to the amount to be paid as a result of such drawing and the payment date (which date shall be one Business Day after
the date of the drawing) (each such date, an “Honor Date”).
(ii) The
Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated forthwith to reimburse each L/C Issuer or each L/C Issuer through the
Administrative Agent for any amounts paid by such L/C Issuer upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit, together with any and
all reasonable charges and expenses which such L/C Issuer may pay or incur relative to such drawing. Such reimbursement payment
shall be due and payable on the same day as the Honor Date if notice is received prior to 11:00 A.M., or the next Business Day
after the Honor Date otherwise. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to such L/C Issuer interest, payable on demand, on any
and all amounts not paid by the Borrower to such L/C Issuer when due under this clause (e)(ii), for each day from and including
the date when such amount becomes due to but excluding the date such amount is paid in full, whether before or after judgment,
at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. Each reimbursement and other payment to be made by the Borrower pursuant
to this clause (ii) shall be made to such L/C Issuer in Federal or other funds immediately available to it at its address
referred to in Section 10.02.
(iii) Subject
to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, the Borrower may, at its option, utilize the Swing
Line Commitment or the Revolving Commitments, or make other arrangements for payment satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer,
for the reimbursement of all L/C Disbursements as required by clause (ii) above.
(iv) With
respect to any L/C Disbursements that have not been reimbursed by the Borrower when due under clauses (ii) and (iii)
above (an “Unreimbursed Amount”), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the
Honor Date, the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share thereof and such
Revolving Lender’s pro rata share of such unreimbursed L/C Disbursement (determined by the proportion its Revolving Commitment
Percentage bears to the aggregate Revolving Committed Amount). In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an
“L/C Borrowing” of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the next Business Day following
the Honor Date in an aggregate amount in Dollars equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples
specified in Section 2.01(a), but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing), and each such Revolving Lender hereby agrees
to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be initially funded as a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount outstanding on the date notice is given. Any such notice given by the Administrative
Agent given pursuant to this clause (iv) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided
that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(v) Each
Revolving Lender (including any Revolving Lender acting as a L/C Issuer in respect of any Unreimbursed Amount) shall, upon any
notice from the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (iv) above, make the amount of its Revolving Loan available to the
Administrative Agent in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, not
later than 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day specified in such notice, whereupon, subject to clause (vi) below, each Revolving
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The
Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this
purpose) to the applicable L/C Issuer.
(vi) With
respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by an L/C Borrowing pursuant to clauses (iv) and (v)
above because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender (other than the relevant L/C Issuer), and each such Revolving Lender shall promptly
and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such L/C Issuer, such Revolving Lender’s pro rata
share of such Unreimbursed Amount (determined by the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the aggregate Revolving
Committed Amount) in Dollars in Federal or other immediately available funds. Such payment from the Revolving Lenders shall be
due (i) at or before 1:00 P.M. on the date the Administrative Agent so notifies a Revolving Lender, if such notice is given at
or before 10:00 A.M. on such date or (ii) at or before 10:00 A.M. on the next succeeding Business Day, together with interest on
such amount for each day from and including the date of such drawing to but excluding the day such payment is due from such Revolving
Lender at the Federal Funds Rate for such day (which funds the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable L/C
Issuer). Each payment by a Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer in respect of an Unreimbursed
Amount shall constitute a payment in respect of its Participation Interest in the related Letter of Credit purchased pursuant to
clause (d) above. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an
L/C Issuer its pro rata share of any Unreimbursed Amount shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder
to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its pro rata share of any payment made under any
Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no such Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer such other Lender’s pro rata share
of any such payment. Upon payment in full of all amounts payable by a Lender under this clause (vi), such Lender shall be
subrogated to the rights of such L/C Issuer against the Borrower to the extent of such Lender’s pro rata share of the related
L/C Obligation so paid (including interest accrued thereon).
(vii) Each
Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (iv) above and to make payments in respect
of its Participation Interests in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to clause (vi) above shall be absolute and unconditional
and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including: (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Lender may have against the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence
or continuance of a Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided,
however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans as a part of an L/C Borrowing pursuant to
clause (iv) above is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of
a Notice of Borrowing). No such making by a Revolving Lender of a Revolving Loan or a payment by a Revolving Lender of an amount
in respect of its Participation Interest in Unreimbursed Amounts shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower
to reimburse such L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest
as provided herein.
(viii) If
any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer any amount required to
be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this clause (e) by the time specified therefor,
then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the applicable L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such
Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the
date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the applicable L/C Issuer at a rate
per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day. Any payment made by any Lender after 3:00 P.M. on any Business Day
shall be deemed for purposes of the preceding sentence to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. A certificate of
the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing
under this clause (viii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(f) Repayment
of Funded Participations in Respect of Drawn Letters of Credit. (i) Whenever the Administrative Agent receives a payment
of an L/C Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of an L/C Issuer any payments from the Revolving
Lenders pursuant to clause (e) above (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral
applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Revolving Lender which has paid
its pro rata share thereof an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of the amount thereof (appropriately adjusted,
in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which the payments from the Revolving Lenders were received)
in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii) If
any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to clause (i) above is required
to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into
by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C
Issuer its pro rata share thereof (determined by the proportion its Revolving Commitment Percentage bears to the aggregate Revolving
Committed Amount) on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount
is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day.
(g) Obligations
Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 2.05(e)(i) and 2.05(e)(ii) above shall be
absolute (subject to the right to bring subsequent claims subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05(l)(v))
and unconditional and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, ISP and Uniform Customs and
Practice for Documentary Credits, as applicable, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the
following circumstances:
(i) any
lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(ii) any
amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or
any other Loan Document;
(iii) the
use which may be made of the Letter of Credit by, or any acts or omission of, a beneficiary of a Letter of Credit (or any Person
for whom the beneficiary may be acting);
(iv) the
existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other rights that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time
against a beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom the beneficiary or transferee may be acting),
any L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or any Letter of Credit or any document related hereto
or thereto or any unrelated transaction;
(v) any
draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent,
invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever, or any loss
or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(vi) any
payment by any L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit;
(vii) any
payment made by any L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, examiner, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary
or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding; or
(viii) any
other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any L/C Issuer or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever
that might, but for the provisions of this clause (viii), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder;
provided that the foregoing shall
not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to punitive or consequential
damages or lost profits, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered
by the Borrower that are caused by acts or omissions by such L/C Issuer constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on
the part of such L/C Issuer (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).
The Borrower shall promptly
examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance
with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The
Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such
notice is given as aforesaid.
(h) Role
of L/C Issuers; Reliance. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any
responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter
of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing
or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, the Agents or their Related Parties or any of the respective correspondents,
participants or assignees of the L/C Issuers shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith
at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable
judgment; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter
of Credit or Letter of Credit Request. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee
with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and
shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee
at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, the Agents or any of their Related Parties, or any of the respective
correspondents, participants or assignees of the L/C Issuers, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in
clauses (i) through (viii) of clause (g) of this Section 2.05; provided, however, that
anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the applicable L/C Issuer, and
such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential
or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable
judgment to have been caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful
or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft
and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, the L/C Issuers may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity
or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights
or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(i) Applicability
of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued
the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.
(j) Conflict
with L/C Documents. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any L/C Document, this Agreement shall govern.
(k) Letters
of Credit Issued for the Borrower or Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder
is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of any Subsidiary of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to
reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges
that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of the Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the
Borrower’s business derives benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(l) Indemnification
of L/C Issuers. (i) In addition to its other obligations under this Agreement, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify,
pay and save each L/C Issuer harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges
and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) that such L/C Issuer may incur or
be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or (B) the failure of such L/C
Issuer to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present
or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Government
Acts”).
(ii) As
between the Borrower and each L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts or omissions of or the misuse of any
Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. No L/C Issuer shall be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter
of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;
(B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit
or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for
any reason; (C) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon
a Letter of Credit; (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable,
telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss
or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any documents required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the
proceeds thereof; and (G) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable L/C Issuer, including, without
limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any L/C Issuer’s rights
or powers hereunder.
(iii) In
furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by
an L/C Issuer, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith,
shall not put such L/C Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any other Loan Party. It is the intention of the
parties that this Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and indemnify each L/C Issuer against any and all risks involved
in the issuance of any Letter of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Loan Parties, including, without limitation,
any and all risks, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future Government Acts. No L/C Issuer shall in any way be liable
for any failure by such L/C Issuer or anyone else to pay any drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts
or any other cause beyond the control of such L/C Issuer.
(iv) Nothing
in this clause (l) is intended to limit the Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.05.
The obligations of the Borrower under this clause (l) shall survive the termination of this Agreement. No act or omission
of any current or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of any L/C Issuer to enforce
any right, power or benefit under this Agreement.
(v) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this clause (l), the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify any L/C Issuer
in respect of any liability incurred by such L/C Issuer arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
L/C Issuer, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment. Nothing in this Agreement
shall relieve any L/C Issuer of any liability to the Borrower in respect of any action taken by such L/C Issuer which action constitutes
gross negligence or willful misconduct of such L/C Issuer, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable
judgment.
(m) Resignation
of an L/C Issuer. An L/C Issuer may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the
Revolving Lenders and the Borrower; provided, however, that any such resignation shall not affect the rights or obligations
of such L/C Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation. Upon any such resignation, the Borrower
shall (within 60 days after such notice of resignation) either appoint a successor or terminate the unutilized L/C Commitment of
such L/C Issuer; provided, however, that, if the Borrower elects to terminate such unutilized L/C Commitment, the
Borrower may at any time thereafter that the Revolving Commitments are in effect reinstate such L/C Commitment in connection with
the appointment of another L/C Issuer. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an L/C Issuer hereunder by a successor L/C Issuer,
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer and
the retiring L/C Issuer shall be discharged from its obligations to issue Letters of Credit hereunder. The acceptance of any appointment
as L/C Issuer hereunder by a successor L/C Issuer shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement,
(i) such successor shall be a party hereto and have all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and (ii) references herein and in the other Loan Documents to such L/C Issuer shall be deemed to refer to
such successor or to any previous L/C Issuer, or to such successor and all previous L/C Issuers, as the context shall require.
After the resignation of an L/C Issuer hereunder, the retiring L/C Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have
all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit
issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(n) Reporting.
Each L/C Issuer (other than the Administrative Agent) will report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first
Business Day of each month, the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued by it and outstanding as of the last Business
Day of the preceding month, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer expects to issue, amend, renew or extend
any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance or amendment, and the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit to be issued,
amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and such
L/C Issuer shall advise the Administrative Agent on such Business Day whether such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred
and whether the amount thereof changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such L/C Issuer makes any L/C Disbursement, the date
and amount of such L/C Disbursement and (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an L/C Disbursement required
to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer on such day, the date and amount of such failure.
Section 2.06 Interest.
(a) Rate
Options Applicable to Loans. Each Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing, which shall be made and maintained as Base
Rate Loans) shall be comprised of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.02.
Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided, however, that the Borrower may not
request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in an aggregate of more than ten separate Groups of Eurodollar Loans being outstanding
hereunder at any one time. For this purpose, Loans having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether commencing on the same
date, shall be considered separate Groups. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before
and after judgment and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
(b) Rates
Applicable to Loans. Subject to the provisions of clause (c) below, (i) each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the
sum of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the then Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans, (ii) each Base
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each day from the date such Loan is made as, or converted
into, a Base Rate Loan until it becomes due or is converted into a Loan of any other Type, at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate for such day plus the then Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate
plus the then Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans.
(c) Additional
Interest. If any Loan or interest thereon or any fee described in Section 2.11 is not paid when due (without regard
to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall thereafter
bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the full extent permitted
by applicable Laws.
(d) Interest
Payments. Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and
at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof
before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(e) Determination
and Notice of Interest Rates. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest
rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time when Base Rate
Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used
in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. Any notice with respect to Eurodollar Loans
shall, without the necessity of the Administrative Agent so stating in such notice, be subject to the provisions of the definition
of “Applicable Margin” providing for adjustments in the Applicable Margin applicable to such Loans after the beginning
of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
Section 2.07 Extension
and Conversion.
(a) Continuation
and Conversion Options. The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate allowed
by Section 2.06 and as specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower shall have
the option, on any Business Day, to elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject
in each case to the provisions of Article III and Section 2.07(d)), as follows:
(i) if
such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Eurodollar Loans as of any Business Day; and
(ii) if
such Loans are Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or elect to continue such Loans
as Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, subject to Section 3.05 in the case of any such conversion or continuation
effective on any day other than the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans.
Each such election shall be made by delivering
a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto (a “Notice of Extension/Conversion”), which
notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon on the third Business
Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice of Extension/Conversion may, if
it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that
(i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the portion to which such Notice of Borrowing
applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $1,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000.
(b) Contents
of Notice of Extension/Conversion. Each Notice of Extension/ Conversion shall specify:
(i) the
Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;
(ii) the
date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable
clause of Section 2.07(a) above;
(iii) if
the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new Type of Loans and, if the Loans being converted are to be Eurodollar
Loans, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable thereto; and
(iv) if
such Loans are to be continued as Eurodollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest
Period.
Each Interest Period specified in a Notice
of Extension/Conversion shall comply with the provisions of the definition of the term “Interest Period.” If no Notice
of Extension/Conversion is timely received prior to the end of an Interest Period for any Group of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have elected that such Group be converted to Base Rate Loans as of the last day of such Interest Period.
(c) Notification
to Lenders. Upon receipt of a Notice of Extension/Conversion from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07(a), the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof.
(d) Limitation
on Conversion/Continuation Options. The Borrower shall not be entitled to elect to convert any Loans to, or continue any
Loans for an additional Interest Period as, Eurodollar Loans if the aggregate principal amount of any Group of Eurodollar Loans
created or continued as a result of such election would be less than $1,000,000. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing when the Borrower delivers notice of such election to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall not be entitled
to elect to convert any Eurodollar Loans to, or continue any Eurodollar Loans for an Interest Period as, Eurodollar Loans having
an Interest Period in excess of one month.
Section 2.08 Maturity
of Loans.
(a) Maturity
of Revolving Loans. The Revolving Loans shall mature on the Revolving Termination Date, and any Revolving Loans, Swing
Line Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon and fees in respect thereof) shall be due
and payable on such date.
(b) Scheduled
Amortization of Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay, and there shall become due and payable, on each Principal Amortization
Payment Date in installments of 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans on the Closing Date, which payments
shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.09. Any remaining unpaid principal
amount of Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.
Section 2.09 Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary
Prepayment of Revolving Loans and Term Loans. The Borrower shall have the right to voluntarily prepay Revolving Loans and
Term Loans in whole or in part from time to time, subject to Section 3.05 and Section 2.09(g) but otherwise without
premium or penalty; provided, however, that each partial prepayment of Revolving Loans and Term Loans shall be in
a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each payment pursuant to this Section
shall be applied as directed by the Borrower.
(b) Swing
Line Loans. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time
or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that
(i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date of
the prepayment and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000. Each such notice shall specify
the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the
payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
(c) Mandatory
Prepayments.
(i) Revolving
Committed Amount. If on any date the aggregate Revolving Outstandings exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower
shall repay, and there shall become due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon), on such date an aggregate principal
amount of Swing Line Loans equal to such excess. If the outstanding Swing Line Loans have been repaid in full, the Borrower shall
prepay, and there shall become due and payable (together with accrued interest thereon), Revolving Loans in such amounts as are
necessary so that, after giving effect to the repayment of the Swing Line Loans and the repayment of Revolving Loans, the aggregate
Revolving Outstandings do not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. If the outstanding Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans have
been repaid in full, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations so that, after giving effect to the repayment of Swing
Line Loans and Revolving Loans and the Cash Collateralization of L/C Obligations pursuant to this clause (i), the aggregate
Revolving Outstandings do not exceed the Revolving Committed Amount. In determining the aggregate Revolving Outstandings for purposes
of this Agreement, L/C Obligations shall be reduced to the extent that they are Cash Collateralized as contemplated by this clause
(i). Each prepayment of Revolving Loans required pursuant to this clause (i) shall be applied ratably among outstanding
Revolving Loans based on the respective amounts of principal then outstanding. Each Cash Collateralization of L/C Obligations required
by this clause (i) shall be applied ratably among L/C Obligations based on the respective amounts thereof then outstanding.
(ii) Excess
Cash Flow. Within five (5) Business Days after the day on which financial statements are required to be delivered
for the most recently ended fiscal year pursuant to Section 6.01(a), beginning with the Excess Cash Flow Period ending on
December 31, 2016, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to (A) the Applicable ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow
for such Excess Cash Flow Period, minus (B) on a dollar-for-dollar basis the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments
during such Excess Cash Flow Period or, at the option of the Borrower, after such Excess Cash Flow Period but prior to such Excess
Cash Flow payment date (and without counting such amounts against the Excess Cash Flow payment for the succeeding Excess Cash Flow
Period) of principal of the Term Loans, the Incremental Term Loans, the Other Term Loans, the Revolving Loans, the Incremental
Revolving Loans, the Other Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans in each case that are not funded with the proceeds of Credit Agreement
Refinancing Indebtedness and that are pari passu with the Term Loans in security and right of payment (but in the case of
voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Loans or Swing Line Loans, only to the extent the Revolving Commitments,
Other Revolving Commitments, the Incremental Revolving Loans, as applicable, are permanently reduced and, in the case of prepayment
or repurchases made at a discount, the amount of cash used for such prepayment or repurchase). As used in this Section 2.09(c)(ii),
the term “Applicable ECF Percentage” for any Excess Cash Flow Period means 50%; provided that the Applicable
ECF Percentage shall be (i) reduced to 25% if the Total Leverage Ratio at the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period is equal to or
less than 4.00 to 1.00 and greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (ii) reduced to 0% if the Total Leverage Ratio at the end of such Excess
Cash Flow Period is equal to or less than 3.00 to 1.00, in each case at the end of such Excess Cash Flow Period.
(iii) Asset
Dispositions, Casualties and Condemnations, etc. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Disposition (other than any Asset Disposition permitted under Section
7.03 (other than clause (a)(xii), (xiii), (xiv) or (xv)), Casualty or Condemnation (excluding
Net Cash Proceeds to the extent and so long as they constitute Reinvestment Funds), the Borrower shall prepay (or cause to be prepaid)
the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Disposition, Casualty or Condemnation; provided
that no such prepayment caused by the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Disposition shall be required to the extent that
the sum of such Net Cash Proceeds and all other Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Dispositions (other than any Asset Disposition permitted
under Section 7.03 (other than clause (a)(xii), (xiii), (xiv) or (xv)) occurring after
the Closing Date and during the same fiscal year does not exceed $5,000,000 (it being understood that a prepayment shall only be
required of such excess).
(iv) Debt
Issuances. Within three (3) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Cash
Proceeds from any Debt Issuance (other than any Debt Issuance permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of this Agreement), the
Borrower shall prepay (or cause to be prepaid) the Term Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of
such Debt Issuance.
(v) Application
of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 2.09(c) shall be applied as follows:
(A) with
respect to all amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(i) or in respect of an Other Revolving Loan pursuant to an analogous
provision in any Refinancing Amendment, first to Swing Line Loans, second to Revolving Loans and any Other Revolving Loans, as
applicable, and third to Cash Collateralize L/C Obligations; and
(B) with
respect to all amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(ii), (iii) or (iv), except as may
be otherwise specified in any Refinancing Amendment or Increase Joinder, as applicable, (with respect to any Other Term Loans or
Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, subject to such Refinancing Amendment or Increase Joinder, as applicable; provided
that such Refinancing Amendment or Increase Joinder, as applicable, shall not provide for greater than pro rata treatment
for such Other Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans, as applicable, with respect of each other Class of Term Loans, Incremental
Term Loans and Other Term Loans), to the next eight (8) Principal Amortization Payments, then ratably to the remaining Principal
Amortization Payments (excluding the final payment on the Term Loan Maturity Date); provided that, in the case of Section 2.09(c)(iii),
at the Borrower’s option, the Borrower may apply a portion of such amounts to prepay outstanding Indebtedness incurred pursuant
to Section 7.01(s) to the extent (x) such Indebtedness is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the
Liens securing the Loans and (y) a mandatory prepayment in respect of such Asset Disposition, Casualty or Condemnation is required
under the terms of such other Indebtedness, in which case, the amount of prepayment required to be made with respect to such Net
Cash Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(iii) shall be deemed to be the amount equal to the product of (x) the amount of
such Net Cash Proceeds multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans required
to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(iii) and the denominator of which is the sum of the outstanding principal amount
of such outstanding Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 7.01(s) and required to be prepaid under the terms of such
Indebtedness and the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans required to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(iii).
(vi) Payments
Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.09, payments required under any subsection
or clause of this Section 2.09 are in addition to payments made or required under any other subsection or clause of this
Section 2.09.
(d) Notice
of Mandatory Prepayment Events. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give to the Administrative Agent
at least one Business Day’s prior written or telecopy notice of each and every prepayment required under Section 2.09(c)(ii)
through (iv), including the estimated amount of Net Cash Proceeds expected to be received therefrom.
(e) Notices
of Prepayments. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent, in the case of any Revolving Loan which is a Base Rate
Loan, by 11:00 A.M. on the date of any voluntary prepayment hereunder and, in the case of any other Loan, by 11:00 A.M., at least
three Business Days prior to the date of voluntary prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Loans and at least one Business Day prior
to the date of voluntary prepayment in the case of Base Rate Loans. Each notice of prepayment shall be substantially in the form
of Exhibit S and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount to be prepaid, whether the Loan to be prepaid is
a Revolving Loan or a Term Loan, whether the Loan to be prepaid is a Eurodollar Loan or a Base Rate Loan and, in the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, the Interest Period of such Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of
each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share, if any, thereof. Once such notice is given by the Borrower,
the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable as specified therein.
Subject to the foregoing, amounts prepaid under Section 2.09(a) shall be applied as the Borrower may elect; provided
that, if the Borrower fails to specify the application of a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans, then, except as may be otherwise
specified in any Refinancing Amendment, such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining Principal Amortization Payments in direct
order of maturity. Amounts prepaid under Section 2.09(c) shall be applied as set forth therein. All prepayments of Eurodollar
Loans under this Section 2.09 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the date
of payment, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
(f) Rejected
Payments. In the event of any prepayment of any Term Loans of any Term Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(c)(ii), (c)(iii)
or (c)(iv) (excluding pursuant to any Refinancing Amendment) (an “Applicable Prepayment”), such Lender
may reject all, but not less than all, of its share of such Applicable Prepayment by written notice (each, a “Rejection
Notice”) to the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 P.M. (New York time) two Business Days after the date of such
Term Lender’s receipt of notice of such Applicable Prepayment as otherwise provided herein (the “Rejection Deadline”).
If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent at or prior to the Rejection Deadline, such Term
Lender will be deemed to have accepted its share of the Applicable Prepayment. The aggregate portion of such Applicable Prepayment
that is rejected by Term Lenders pursuant to Rejection Notices shall be referred to as the “Rejected Amount.”
The Rejected Amount may be used by the Borrower in any manner not prohibited by the Loan Documents.
(g) Prepayment
Premium. In the event that, on or prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Restatement Date, the Borrower
(x) makes any prepayment of Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement
resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable
Term Lender, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the amount of the Term Loans being prepaid
and (II) in the case of clause (y), a payment equal to 1.00% of the aggregate amount of the applicable Term Loans outstanding
immediately prior to such amendment.
(h) Foreign
Proceeds. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.09, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash
Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (“Foreign Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty
or Condemnation from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Casualty Event”) or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign
Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such
Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided
in this Section 2.09 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable
local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit
such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under
the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and an amount equal to such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds
or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net
of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.09
to the extent provided herein and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of
or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or any Foreign Casualty Event or Excess Cash Flow attributable to Foreign
Subsidiaries would have materially adverse tax consequences (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) with respect to such
Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied
to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.09 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary
Section 2.10 Adjustment
of Commitments.
(a) Optional
Termination or Reduction of Commitments (Pro rata). The Borrower may from time to time permanently reduce or terminate
the Revolving Committed Amount or Incremental Revolving Commitments in whole or in part (in minimum aggregate amounts of $1,000,000
or any whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the full remaining amount of the then applicable Revolving Committed
Amount)) upon three Business Days’ prior written or telecopy notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice may be conditional
on the occurrence of an event to the extent specified in such notice); provided, however, that no such termination
or reduction shall be made which would cause the Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Revolving Committed Amount as so reduced,
unless, concurrently with such termination or reduction, the Revolving Loans are repaid (and, after the Revolving Loans have been
paid in full, the Swing Line Loans are repaid and, after the Swing Line Loans have been paid in full, the L/C Obligations are Cash
Collateralized) to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected
Lender of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.10(a). Any
partial reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount pursuant to this Section 2.10(a) shall be applied to the Revolving Commitments
of the Lenders pro rata based upon their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11, on the date of each termination or reduction
of the Revolving Committed Amount, any fees accrued through the date of such termination or reduction on the amount of the Revolving
Committed Amount so terminated or reduced.
(b) Termination.
The Revolving Commitments and the related L/C Commitments of the relevant L/C Issuers shall terminate automatically on the Revolving
Termination Date. The Swing Line Commitment of the Swing Line Lender shall terminate automatically on the Swing Line Termination
Date. The Term Commitments shall terminate automatically immediately after the making of the Term Loans on the Closing Date.
(c) General.
The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section
2.10, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount, the Commitment Fee accrued through the
date of such termination or reduction on the amount of the Revolving Committed Amount so terminated or reduced.
Section 2.11 Fees.
(a) Commitment
Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender (other than a Defaulting
Lender) a fee (the “Commitment Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the daily Unused
Revolving Committed Amount, computed at a per annum rate equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage. The Commitment Fee shall
commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September
and December (and on any date that the Revolving Committed Amount is reduced as provided in Section 2.10(a) and on the Revolving
Termination Date) for the period ending on each such date; provided that the first such payment shall be due on September
30, 2015.
(b) Letter
of Credit Fees.
(i) Letter
of Credit Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender that is not
a Defaulting Lender a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) on such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage
of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit (whether or not such maximum amount is then
in effect under such Letter of Credit) computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of
expiration equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans in effect from time to time; provided, however, that
any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which
such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.05 shall instead be payable, to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable
Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.17(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable
to the L/C Issuers for their own respective accounts. The Letter of Credit Fee will be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears
and shall be due and payable on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first of
such dates to occur after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter
on demand.
(ii) Fronting
Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to the L/C Issuers. The Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer
for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, at a rate of 0.125% per
annum, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such
fronting fee shall be due and payable on last Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing
with the first such date after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter
on demand.
(iii) L/C
Issuer Fees. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee payable pursuant to clause (i) above and any fronting fees
payable pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower promises to pay to each L/C Issuer for its own account without sharing
by the other Lenders the letter of credit fronting and negotiation fees agreed to by the Borrower and such L/C Issuer from time
to time and the customary charges from time to time agreed to by the Borrower and such L/C Issuer with respect to the issuance,
amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit (collectively,
the “L/C Issuer Fees”). L/C Issuer Fees are due when earned and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(c) Other
Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Lead Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in
the amounts and at the times specified in the Arranger Fee Letter and the Administrative Agent Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully
earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not
be refundable for any reason whatsoever except as otherwise agreed.
Section 2.12 Pro
rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:
(a) Loans.
Each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of or interest on any Loan, each payment of fees (other than the L/C Issuer
Fees retained by an L/C Issuer for its own account, and the administrative fees retained by the Agents for their own account),
each reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount and each conversion or continuation of any Loan, shall be allocated pro rata among
the relevant Lenders in accordance with the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages, Term Commitment Percentages, Other Revolving
Commitment Percentage, Other Term Commitment Percentage, Incremental Revolving Commitment Percentage and Incremental Term Loan
Commitment Percentage, as applicable, of such Lenders (or, if the Commitments of such Lenders have expired or been terminated,
in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the outstanding Loans of the applicable Class and Participation Interests
of such Lenders); provided that, in the event any amount paid to any Lender pursuant to this clause (a) is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, repay
to the Administrative Agent the amount so paid to such Lender, with interest for the period commencing on the date such payment
is returned by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent receives such repayment at a rate per annum
equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation.
(b) Letters
of Credit. Each payment of L/C Obligations shall be allocated to each Revolving Lender pro rata in accordance with its
Revolving Commitment Percentage; provided that, if any Revolving Lender shall have failed to pay its applicable pro rata
share of any L/C Disbursement as required under Section 2.05(e)(iv) or (vi), then any amount to which such Revolving
Lender would otherwise be entitled pursuant to this clause (b) shall instead be payable to the L/C Issuers.
Section 2.13 Sharing
of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment
in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it or of its Participation Interests in L/C Obligations
or Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such
Loans or such Participation Interests and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) purchase (for
cash at face value) participation in the Loans and subparticipations in the Participation Interests in L/C Obligations and Swing
Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective
Loans and other amounts owing thereon; provided that:
(i) if
any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered,
such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest; and
(ii) the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to
and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a
Defaulting Lender and including payments made pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19), (y) the application of Cash Collateral
provided for in Section 2.05 or 2.16, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment
of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in Participation Interests in L/C Obligations or Swing Line
Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions
of this Section shall apply).
Each Loan Party 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 Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
Section 2.14 Payments
Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a) Payments
by the Borrower. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim,
defense, recoupment or setoff. Each payment of principal of and interest on Loans, L/C Obligations and fees hereunder (other than
fees payable directly to any L/C Issuer) shall be paid not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date when due, in Dollars and in Federal
or other funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent at the account designated by it by notice to the Borrower. Payments
received after 1:00 P.M. shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day, and any applicable interest or fee shall
continue to accrue. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, distribute such payments to the applicable Lenders on
the date of receipt thereof, if such payment is received prior to 1:00 P.M.; otherwise the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, distribute such payment to the applicable Lenders on the date of receipt thereof or on the immediately succeeding Business
Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended
to the next succeeding Business Day (and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may
be), unless (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment
thereof shall be the next preceding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of Law or otherwise,
interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.
(b) Presumption
by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the applicable Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith, and may, in reliance
upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers, as the case may be, the amount due. In
such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuers,
as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender or L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount
is distributed to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a
rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the
Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error.
(c) Failure
to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made
by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the
Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are
not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds promptly (in like
funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender without interest.
(d) Obligations
of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to purchase Participation Interests in the
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make a Loan required to be made
by it as part of any Borrowing hereunder or to fund a Participation Interest shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation,
if any, hereunder to make any Loan on the date of such Borrowing or fund any such Participation Interest, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on such date of Borrowing or fund
its Participation Interest.
(e) Funding
Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place
or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular
place or manner.
(f) Computations.
All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis
of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All computations of Commitment Fees and other computations
of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest,
as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which
Loan is made (or converted or continued), and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan
or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made (or continued or converted)
shall, subject to clause (a) above, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest
rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 2.15 Increase
in Commitments.
(a) Increase
in Commitments. The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to add one or more incremental term
loan facilities hereunder (each, an “Incremental Term Facility”; the commitments thereunder are referred to
as “Incremental Term Loan Commitments” and loans pursuant thereto “Incremental Term Loans”)
and/or increase commitments under the Revolving Facility (any such increase, an “Incremental Revolving Increase”;
the commitments thereunder are referred to as “Incremental Revolving Commitments” and loans pursuant thereto
“Incremental Revolving Loans”; the Incremental Term Facilities and the Incremental Revolving Increases are collectively
referred to as “Incremental Facilities”); provided that the total aggregate amount for all such
Incremental Facilities (assuming, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Increase, the full amount thereof is drawn) shall not
(as of any date of incurrence thereof) exceed (x) $50,000,000 (plus, to the extent utilized to effect an Incremental Revolving
Increase, $20,000,000), plus (y) an amount equal to the sum of all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to Section
2.09(a), plus (z) an additional unlimited amount so long as, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Incremental Facility
(excluding the cash proceeds of any Incremental Term Loans for purposes of netting and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving
Increase, assuming the full amount thereof is fully drawn), the Secured Leverage Ratio, determined on a Pro Forma Basis as of the
last day of the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements were required to have been delivered pursuant to
Section 6.01 (or, if no Test Period has passed, as of the last four quarters ended), in each case, as if such Incremental
Facility (and Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the full amount of any such Incremental Revolving Increase) had been outstanding
on the last day of such four-quarter period, shall not exceed 2.50 to 1.00, with the Borrower electing whether such Incremental
Facility have been incurred (in whole or in part) under clauses (x) (including the parenthetical thereunder), (y) and/or (z) in
its sole discretion. Each Class of Incremental Facility incurred under this Section 2.15 shall be in an aggregate principal
amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (or, if incurred pursuant to the parenthetical to clause (x) in the immediately preceding
sentence, $5,000,000). Each such notice shall specify (x) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which
the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Facility shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than five (5) Business Days
after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (y) the identity of each Eligible Assignee to
whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Facility be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided
that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Facility may elect or decline, in its sole discretion,
to provide such portion of the Incremental Facility.
(b) Conditions.
The Incremental Facilities shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that:
(i) each
of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02(a) shall be satisfied;
(ii) no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the Borrowings to be made on the Increase Effective
Date; provided that, if such Incremental Facility is being incurred to fund a Limited Condition Transaction, such Event
of Default condition shall be tested on the date of execution of the acquisition or purchase agreement governing such Limited Condition
Transaction;
(iii) after
giving effect to the extension of any Commitments and the making of any Loans pursuant to the Incremental Facilities and the use
of proceeds thereof, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenant set forth in Section 7.10 as of the last day
of the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements were required to have been delivered pursuant to Section
6.01 on a Pro Forma Basis in accordance with Section 1.03(c); and
(iv) the
Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying as to compliance with the foregoing
conditions.
(c) Terms
of Incremental Facilities. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Facilities shall be as follows:
(i) the
Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Incremental Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity
of the existing Term Loans and the maturity date of Incremental Term Loans shall not be earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date;
(ii) in
the case of an Incremental Revolving Increase, the maturity date of such Incremental Revolving Increase shall be no earlier than
the Revolving Maturity Date, such Incremental Revolving Increase shall require no scheduled amortization or mandatory commitment
reduction (except as provided herein for all Revolving Commitments) and the Incremental Revolving Increase shall be on the exact
same terms (other than upfront fees and pricing, as set forth in the Increase Joinder) and pursuant to the exact same documentation
applicable to the existing Revolving Commitments (and Revolving Loans);
(iii) the
Applicable Margins for the Incremental Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the Lenders of the Incremental Loans; provided
that, in the event that the Applicable Margins (or similar measure of interest margin) for any Incremental Term Loans is more than
0.50% per annum greater than the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans or for any Incremental Revolving Loans is more than
0.50% per annum greater than the Applicable Margins for the Revolving Loans, then the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans
or Revolving Loans, as applicable, shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the Applicable Margins (or similar measure
of interest margin) for the Incremental Term Loans are equal to the Applicable Margins for the Term Loans, plus 0.50% per annum
and the Applicable Margins (or similar measure of interest margin) for the Incremental Revolving Loans are equal to the Applicable
Margins for the Revolving Loans, plus 0.50% per annum, as applicable; provided, further, that in determining
the Applicable Margins applicable to the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, and the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental
Revolving Loans, as applicable, (x) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to
constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders of the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, or
the Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Revolving Loans, as applicable, at the closing thereof or in the primary syndication
thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), (y) if, to the extent
an interest rate floor is then in effect, the applicable Incremental Loans include an interest rate floor greater than the applicable
interest rate floor under the Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as applicable, such differential between interest rate floors shall
be equated to the Applicable Margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the Applicable Margin under the Term Loans
or Revolving Loans, as applicable, shall be required and (z) arrangement, structuring, documentation, commitment, underwriting
or similar fees payable to the arranger (or its Affiliates) in such capacity in connection with the Term Loans or Revolving Loans,
as applicable, or to one or more arrangers (or their Affiliates) in such capacity of the Incremental Loans shall be excluded; and
(iv) any
Incremental Term Loans, for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated in any event no more favorably than the Term Loans and shall
otherwise be on terms and pursuant to documentation as set forth in the Increase Joinder; provided that, to the extent such
terms and documentation are not consistent with the existing Term Loans (except to the extent permitted by clause (i) or
(iii) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided further, that any
Incremental Term Loans may provide for the ability of the holders thereof to decline to participate in any voluntary prepayments
of the Incremental Term Loans and to receive on a pro rata or less than pro rata basis any mandatory prepayments of the Incremental
Term Loans. No Incremental Revolving Loan shall mature prior to the Revolving Termination Date.
The Incremental Term Loan Commitments and
the Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed
by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender making such Incremental Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Revolving
Commitment, as applicable, in form attached hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. The Increase
Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as
may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15.
In addition, unless otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Increase Joinder, all references in Loan Documents to Term
Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include references to Incremental Term Loans and unless otherwise
specifically provided herein, all references in Loan Documents to Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise
requires, to include references to Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments, respectively.
(d) Incremental
Revolving Increases. On any Increase Effective Date on which an Incremental Revolving Increase is effective, the participations
held by the Revolving Lenders in the L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans immediately prior to such increase will be reallocated
so as to be held by the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages after giving effect
to such Incremental Revolving Increase. If, on the date of an Incremental Revolving Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding,
the Borrower shall prepay such Revolving Loans in accordance with this Agreement on the date of effectiveness of such Incremental
Revolving Increase (but the Borrower may finance such prepayment with a concurrent borrowing of Revolving Loans from the Revolving
Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Increase).
(e) Making
of New Term Loans. On any Increase Effective Date on which an Incremental Term Facility is effective, subject to the satisfaction
of the foregoing terms and conditions, each Lender holding Incremental Term Commitments shall make an Incremental Term Loan to
the Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Commitment.
(f) Equal
and Ratable Benefit. The Loans and Commitments established pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute Loans and Commitments
under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting
the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guaranty Agreement and security interests created by the Collateral Documents.
The Loan Parties shall take any actions reasonably required by the Administrative Agent to ensure and/or demonstrate that the Lien
and security interests granted by the Collateral Documents continue to be perfected under the UCC or otherwise after giving effect
to the establishment of any such Class of Loans or any such new Commitments.
Section 2.16 Cash
Collateral.
(a) Obligation
to Cash Collateralize. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer (i) if the applicable
L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Disbursement
or (ii) if, as of the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Revolver Termination Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason
remains outstanding or there are any L/C Borrowings outstanding or there are any outstanding Letters of Credit, or as otherwise
required pursuant to Section 2.05, Section 2.09(c), Section 2.17 or Section 8.02, the Borrower shall,
in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations in an amount not less than the
Minimum Collateral Amount. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the written request of the
Administrative Agent or any applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Bank (in each case, with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrower shall Cash Collateralize all Fronting Exposure of such L/C Issuer or Swing Line Bank, as applicable, with respect to such
Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.17(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting
Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect thereto.
(b) Grant
of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be
maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Collateral Agent. The Borrower, and to the extent provided
by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent, the applicable L/C Issuers and the applicable Lenders (including the applicable Swing Line Lenders), and agrees to maintain,
a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided
as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral
may be applied pursuant to Section 2.16(c). If at any time the Collateral Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject
to any right or claim of any Person other than the Collateral Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral
is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, or, if applicable, the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby,
the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Collateral Agent, pay or provide to the Collateral
Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
(c) Application.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.16
or Sections 2.05, 2.09(c), 2.17, 8.02 or otherwise in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans
shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations
therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations
for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.
(d) Release.
Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released
promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including
by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance
with Section 10.06(b))) or (ii) the determination by the Collateral Agent that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided,
however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance
of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.16 may be otherwise applied in
accordance with Section 8.03) and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender,
as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure
or other obligations.
Section 2.17 Defaulting
Lenders.
(a) Adjustments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such
time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i) Waivers
and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect
to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.
(ii) Reallocation
of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise or received
by the Administrative Agent from such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08) shall be applied at such time or times
as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of any
amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;
SECOND, to the payment on a pro
rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to each applicable L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder;
THIRD, to Cash Collateralize
the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.16;
FOURTH, as the Borrower may request
(so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed
to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;
FIFTH, if so determined by the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting
Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C
Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued
under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.16;
SIXTH, to the payment of any
amounts owing to the Lenders, each applicable L/C Issuer or applicable Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any applicable L/C Issuer or applicable Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting
Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
SEVENTH, so long as no Default
or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its
obligations under this Agreement; and
EIGHTH, to such Defaulting Lender
or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if (x) such
payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not
fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting
Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender.
Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed
by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected
by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain
Fees. (x) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee payable pursuant to Section 2.11(a)
for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that
otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and (y) each Defaulting Lender shall be limited
in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.11(b).
(iv) Reallocation
of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations
and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment
Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise
notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions
are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the sum of, without duplication, the aggregate Outstanding
Amount of the Revolving Loans of any non-Defaulting Lender, plus such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of
the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time, plus such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of
the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans at such time to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation
hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from such
Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s
increased exposure following such reallocation.
(b) Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer agree in writing that
a Defaulting Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as
of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements
with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans
of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and
funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance
with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.17), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf
of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release
of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c) New
Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swing Line
Lender shall be required to fund any Swing Line Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving
effect to such Swing Line Loan and (ii) no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless
it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
Section 2.18 Refinancing
Amendments.
(a) At
any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Eligible Assignee, Credit Agreement Refinancing
Indebtedness in respect of (a) all or any portion of the Term Loans and Incremental Term Loans then outstanding under this Agreement
(which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Term Loans) or (b) all or any
portion of the Revolving Loans (or unused Revolving Commitments) and Incremental Revolving Loans (or unused Incremental Revolving
Commitments) under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (b) will be deemed to include any then outstanding
Other Revolving Loans and Other Revolving Commitments), in the form of (x) Other Term Loans or Other Term Commitments or (y) Other
Revolving Loans or Other Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided
that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness will rank pari passu or junior in right of payment and of security (including
unsecured) with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the
satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested
by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates
and/or reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Section 4.01 (other than changes
to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact and such other changes as are reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent). Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.18 shall
be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $25,000,000 in the case of Other Term Loans or $25,000,000 in
the case of Other Revolving Loans and (y) an integral multiple of $10,000,000 in excess thereof. Any Refinancing Amendment may,
with the consent of the applicable L/C Issuers and Swing Line Lender, provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account
of the Borrower, or the provision to the Borrower of Swing Line Loans, pursuant to any Other Revolving Commitments established
thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans under
the Revolving Commitments. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing
Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall
be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing
Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as
Other Term Loans, Other Revolving Loans, Other Revolving Commitments and/or Other Term Commitments). Any Refinancing Amendment
may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this
Section. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each L/C Issuer, participations
in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Termination Date shall be reallocated from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments
to Lenders holding extended revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided,
however, that such Participation Interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Other Revolving Commitments,
be deemed to be Participation Interests in respect of such Other Revolving Commitments and the terms of such Participation Interests
(including, without limitation, the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.
(b) This
Section 2.18 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.12 or Section 10.01 to the contrary.
Section 2.19 Discounted
Prepayments. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may prepay
the outstanding Term Loans on the following basis:
(a) The
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of any Term Loans at a discount to par
(such prepayment, a “Discounted Term Loan Prepayment”) pursuant to an Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment,
Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, in each case made in accordance
with this Section 2.19; provided that (i) the Borrower shall not make any Borrowing of Revolving Loans to fund any
Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, (ii) any Term Loans purchased are immediately cancelled and (iii) the Borrower or any Subsidiary,
as applicable, does not have any material non-public information (“MNPI”) with respect to the Borrower or any
of its Subsidiaries that (a) has not been disclosed to the Lenders (other than Lenders that do not wish to receive MNPI with respect
to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries) prior to such time and (b) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon,
or otherwise be material to a Lender’s decision to participate in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.
(b) (i) Subject
to the proviso to clause (a) above, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may from time to time offer to make an Offer
of Specified Discount Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Specified
Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (w) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the Borrower
or its Subsidiary, to each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (x) any such offer
shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”)
with respect to each applicable Class, the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount
to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified
Discounts and/or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such
an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (y) the Specified Discount
Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $100,000 in excess thereof and
(z) each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly
provide each relevant Term Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount
Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00
P.M., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Specified
Discount Prepayment Response Date”).
(ii) Each
relevant Term Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment
Response Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its relevant then outstanding Term Loans at the Specified
Discount and, if so (such accepting Term Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount and the
Class or Classes of such Lender’s Term Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount. Each acceptance of a Discounted Term
Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Term Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment
Response is not received by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined
to accept the applicable Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment.
(iii) If
there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, will make prepayment
of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this clause (b) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with
the respective outstanding amount and Class of Term Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response
given pursuant to clause (ii); provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment
by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro
rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid
by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as
applicable, and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration
(the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three (3) Business
Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (x) the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, of the
respective Term Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal amount
of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (y) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective
Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date and
(z) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount
and Class of Term Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date. Each determination by the Auction
Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and Term Lenders shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower or its
Subsidiary shall be due and payable by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date
in accordance with clause (f) below (subject to clause (j) below).
(c) (i) Subject
to the proviso to clause (a) above, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may from time to time solicit Discount Range
Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment
Notice; provided that (w) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower or its Subsidiary,
as applicable, to each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (x) any such notice shall
specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”),
the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the “Discount
Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans with respect to each relevant Class of Term Loans willing to be prepaid
by the Borrower or its Subsidiary (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment Amounts
may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate
offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (y) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less
than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $100,000 in excess thereof and (z) each such solicitation by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries
shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant
Term Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted
by a responding relevant Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the third
Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response
Date”). Each relevant Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify a discount
to par within the Discount Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment
of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes and the maximum aggregate principal amount
and Classes of such Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid
at the Submitted Discount. Any Term Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Discount
Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of its Term
Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range.
(ii) Auction
Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response
Date and shall determine (in consultation with the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and subject to rounding requirements
of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable
Discount in accordance with this clause (c). The Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, agrees to accept on the Discount
Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment
Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the
smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range
(such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable
Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (x)
the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (y) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Discount Range
Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed
to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant
to the following clause (iii)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Lender, a “Participating Lender”).
(iii) If
there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, will prepay the respective outstanding
Term Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Discount
Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered
at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discounted Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal
amount of the relevant Term Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or
equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified
Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent
(in consultation with the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent
made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The
Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discounted Range Prepayment Response
Date, notify (w) the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation,
the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discount Term Loan
Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (x) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount,
and the aggregate principal amount and Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (y) each Participating
Lender of the aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date and (z)
if applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of
the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and Lenders shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower or its Subsidiary,
as applicable, shall be due and payable by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, on the Discounted Prepayment Effective
Date in accordance with clause (f) below (subject to clause (j) below).
(d) (i) Subject
to the proviso to clause (a) above, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Notice; provided that (w) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower or
its Subsidiary, as applicable, to each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (x) any
such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Amount”) and the Class or Classes of Term Loans of the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, is willing to prepay
at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different
Classes of Term Loans and, in such an event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this
Section), (y) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments
of $500,000 in excess thereof and (z) each such solicitation by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, shall remain outstanding
through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each relevant Term Lender with
a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by
a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 P.M., New York time on the third Business
Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the relevant Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response
Date”). Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding
until the Acceptance Date and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Term
Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes
of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any
Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.
(ii) The
Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable,
shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant
responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as
applicable, (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable elects to
accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount,
but in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable,
from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this clause
(ii) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, shall submit an Acceptance
and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an
Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, by the Acceptance Date, the Borrower or its
Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.
(iii) Based
upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted
Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted
Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrower or its Subsidiary,
as applicable, and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate
principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrower
or its Subsidiary, as applicable, at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.19(d). If the Borrower or
its Subsidiary, as applicable, elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, agrees
to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response
Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each
Term Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to
the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject
to any required pro rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying
Lender”). The Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this clause
(d) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Solicited
Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying
Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment
Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than
or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified
Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation
with the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole
reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the
Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (w) the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable,
of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and
the Classes to be prepaid, (x) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable
Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the Classes to be prepaid to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (y) each
Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of such Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on
such date and (z) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the
Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, and Lenders shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower or
its Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be due and payable by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, on the Discounted Prepayment
Effective Date in accordance with clause (f) below (subject to clause (j) below).
(e) In
connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent
may require as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses agreed to in writing
by the Borrower in connection therewith.
(f) If
any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with clauses (b) through (d) above, the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable,
shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable shall make
such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders,
or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than
11:00 A.M. (New York time) on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued
and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date.
Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting
Lenders, Participating Lenders, Identified Participating Lenders, Qualifying Lenders or Identified Qualifying Lenders, as applicable.
The aggregate principal amount of the Classes and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by
the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Classes of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective
Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.
(g) To
the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures
consistent with the provisions in this Section 2.19, established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion
and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable.
(h) Notwithstanding
anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.19, each notice or other communication required
to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s
(or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any
notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening
of business on the next Business Day.
(i) Each
of the Borrower and the Term Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under
this Section 2.19 by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation
of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory
provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection
with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.19 as well as activities of the Auction Agent.
(j) The
Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but
not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice,
Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor (A) at its discretion at any time on or prior
to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, Discount Range Prepayment Response Date or Solicited Discount Prepayment
Response Date, as applicable or (B) if, as of such time, any condition set forth in Section 2.19(a) ceases to be met prior
to the making of such Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and, in each case, such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses
(A) or (B), any failure by the Borrower or its Subsidiary, as applicable, to make any prepayment to a Term Lender, as
applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01 or
otherwise.
ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
Section 3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear
of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, unless otherwise required by law. If any applicable withholding
agent shall be required by law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) to withhold any
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender Party or any Agent, (i) the applicable withholding
agent shall be entitled to make all such deductions, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) to the extent the deduction is on account of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the amounts so payable by the applicable Loan Party to the Agent of Lender Party shall be increased
as may be necessary so that, after such withholding agent has made all required deductions of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), such Lender Party or such Agent, as
the case may be, shall have received an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.
(b) Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of clause (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay
any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Evidence
of Payments. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental
Authority, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment.
(d) Indemnification
by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender Party for and hold them harmless against the full
amount of Indemnified Taxes payable in connection with any payments made by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document
and (without any duplication) Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section 3.01), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether
or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
This indemnification shall be made within 10 days after written demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by an Agent on its own behalf,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Treatment
of Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received
a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which
any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal
to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amount paid, by the Loan Party under this Section 3.01
with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, attributable to such refund and without interest (other than
any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Loan Party, upon
the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party in the
event the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party is required to repay such amount to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph
shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other
information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this clause (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying
party pursuant to this clause (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had
not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax
had never been paid.
(f) Status
of Lenders.
(i) Each
Lender Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any applicable withholding Tax with respect to payments made
under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law or reasonably
requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
withholding. Each Lender Party shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including
any specific documents required below in this Section 3.01(f)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect,
deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
in writing of its inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion,
execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B)
and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission
would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position
of such Lender.
(ii) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing any Lender Party shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender Party becomes a party hereto, two duly completed and executed
copies of whichever of the following is applicable:
(A) in
the case of a Lender Party that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), IRS Form
W-9 certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; and
(B) in
the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, IRS Form W-8BEN
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to such tax treaty;
(C) in
the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming an exemption from U.S. federal income Taxes for income that is effectively connected with
a U.S. trade or business, executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(D) in
the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”)
and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN;
(E) to
the extent that a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or participating
Lender), IRS Form W-8IMY of the Non-U.S. Lender, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate,
IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 3.01(f)
if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership (and not a
participant Lender) and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide
a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of such beneficial owners; or
(F) any
other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Taxes,
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent to reasonably determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(iii) If
a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed under FATCA if the
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 Administrative Agent and the Borrower at the time or times
prescribed by law, and at such other time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, the 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 Administrative Agent or the Borrower as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent or the Borrower
to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine whether the Lender has complied with the Lender obligations under FATCA,
or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from the payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iv) Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 3.01(f), a Lender Party shall not be required to deliver any form or other documentation
that such Lender Party is not legally eligible to deliver.
Section 3.02 Illegality.
If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the
Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars
in the London interbank market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (i) any
obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest
rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which
Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without
reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice,
(x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable,
convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender
shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar
Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue
to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates
based upon the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base
Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent
is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based
upon the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the
amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
Section 3.03 Inability
To Determine Rates. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan:
(i) the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant
market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or
(ii) Lenders
having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the Commitments advise the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate as determined
by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding their Eurodollar Loans for
such Interest Period;
the Administrative Agent shall forthwith
give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans, or to continue or
convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended and (ii) each outstanding Eurodollar Loan shall be converted
into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the
Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 P.M. on the Business Day of the date of any Eurodollar Loan for which a Notice of Borrowing
has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing
in the same aggregate amount as the requested Borrowing and shall bear interest for each day from and including the first day to
but excluding the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto at the rate applicable to Revolving Base Rate Loans for such
day.
Section 3.04 Increased
Costs and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.
(a) Increased
Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets
held by, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (or its Lending Office) (except
any reserve requirement which is reflected in the determination of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate hereunder) or any L/C Issuer;
(ii) subject
any Lender Party to any Taxes with respect to any Loan Document or any Loan made pursuant to this Agreement (other than Indemnified
Taxes and Other Taxes indemnified under Section 3.01, and Excluded Taxes); or
(iii) impose
on any Lender (or its Lending Office) or L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting
this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or Participation Interest therein or any Letter of Credit or Participation
Interest therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing
shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such L/C Issuer of participating in,
issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit),
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, hereunder (whether
of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such
Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital
Requirements. If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender, any of its applicable
Lending Offices or its holding company or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, regarding capital and liquidity
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital for such Lender or its holding company or such
L/C Issuer or its holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made
by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any L/C
Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or its holding company or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may
be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its holding company’s
policies or such L/C Issuer’s or its holding company’s policies, as applicable, with respect to capital and liquidity
adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its holding company or such L/C Issuer or its holding company for any such
reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates
for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a)
or (b) above and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such
Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate promptly (but in any event within
ten (10) Business Days) after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred
or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies
the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s
intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is
retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
Section 3.05 Compensation
for Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for calculating such compensation, the Borrower shall promptly (but in any event within ten days)
after such demand compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a
result of (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day
of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); (b) any
failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert
any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or (c) any assignment of such Lender’s Eurodollar
Rate Loans pursuant to Section 3.07(b) on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, including,
in each case, any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or
from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt,
the Borrower shall not be obligated to compensate any Lender under this Section for any loss of anticipated profits in respect
of any of the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section, each Lender
shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (excluding the impact of the
proviso set forth in the “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” definition) for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing
in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar
Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
Section 3.06 Base
Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Eurodollar Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make, or to continue or
convert outstanding Loans as or to, Eurodollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.02 or (ii) any Lender or
L/C Issuer has demanded compensation under Section 3.04 with respect to its Eurodollar Loans, and in any such case the
Borrower shall, by at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to such Lender through the Administrative Agent, have elected
that the provisions of this Section 3.06 shall apply to such Lender, then, unless and until such Lender notifies the Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, all Loans which would otherwise
be made by such Lender as (or continued as or converted to) Eurodollar Loans shall instead be Base Rate Loans (on which interest
and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders). If such Lender notifies
the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist, the principal amount
of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Eurodollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period
applicable to the related Eurodollar Loans of the other Lenders.
Section 3.07 Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation
of a Different Lending Office. If at any time (i) any Lender requires the Borrower to pay additional amounts to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, (ii) any
Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 or (iii) any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02,
then such Lender or L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, at the request of the Borrower, 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 or L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (A) would eliminate
or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.04, as the case may be, in the future,
or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, and (B) in each case, would not subject such Lender
or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender
or L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or
L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement
of Lenders or L/C Issuers. If at any time (i) the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to any Lender, L/C
Issuer or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.01, (ii) any
Lender or L/C Issuer requests compensation under Section 3.04, (iii) any Lender or L/C Issuer gives a notice pursuant
to Section 3.02, (iv) any Lender or L/C Issuer is a Defaulting Lender or (v) any Lender or L/C Issuer is a Non-Consenting
Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender or L/C Issuer,
replace such Lender or L/C Issuer by causing such Lender or L/C Issuer (and such Lender or L/C Issuer shall be obligated) to assign
pursuant to Section 10.06(b) (with the processing and recording fee under Section 10.06(b)(iii) to be paid
by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one or
more Eligible Assignees; provided that:
(A) (i)
neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to find a replacement assignee and (ii) the Borrower
shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b) (unless waived by the Administrative
Agent);
(B) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in outstanding
L/C Borrowings and Swing Line Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05 and, solely to the extent in connection
with a Repricing Transaction, Section 2.09(g)) from the applicable assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal,
funded participations and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(C) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01 or a claim for
compensation under Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, such assignment will result in a reduction in such payments
or compensation thereafter or, in the case of any such assignment resulting from a notice pursuant to Section 3.02,
such assignment will eliminate the need for such notice;
(D) such
assignment does not conflict with applicable Law;
(E) [reserved];
and
(F) in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall be deemed
to have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
In connection with any
such assignment contemplated by this Section, if any such Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly
executed Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 10.06(b) reflecting such assignment within two Business Days
of the date on which the applicable assignee executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such Lender, then such Lender
shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of such Lender, whereupon
such assignment shall become effective upon payment to such Lender of all amounts owing to such Lender under clause (B)
or (C) above (which amounts shall be calculated by the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error)
and compliance with the other applicable requirements pursuant to Section 10.06(b).
Notwithstanding anything
in this Section to the contrary, any Revolving Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time it has
any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Lender (including the furnishing
of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer
or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory
to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit.
A Lender shall not be
required to make any such assignment if, prior to the date of delivery of an assignment and assumption executed by the applicable
assignee, as a result of an unconditional, permanent waiver by such Lender (including any action taken by such Lender pursuant
to clause (a) above), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to replace such Lender cease to apply.
Section 3.08 Survival.
All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments and repayment
of all other Senior Credit Obligations hereunder.

when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 6 to the Perfection Certificate and
the Pledged Securities are delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Security Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on
all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in such of the Collateral in which a security interest can be perfected
under Article 9 of the UCC by filing or by possession thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, other
than with respect to Permitted Liens, and except for (i) certain items of Collateral with respect to which such Lien may be perfected
only by possession thereof where the failure of the Collateral Agent to have possession thereof is expressly permitted pursuant

and continuing liens of record and first priority perfected security interests in all the Collateral (other than Permitted Liens)

to maintain possession of any stock certificates, promissory notes or other instruments delivered to it under the Collateral Documents,

thereof in accordance with the UCC may not be recognized or enforceable and (iii) exceptions to perfection set forth in the Collateral
Documents.

of the Finance Parties, legal, valid and enforceable first priority Liens on all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest
in and to the Mortgaged Properties thereunder and the proceeds thereof, subject only to Permitted Liens, and when the Mortgages
are filed in the offices specified in the local counsel opinion delivered with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions

Agent and the Lenders.
Section 6.07 Compliance
with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause the Acquired Business and each Subsidiary of the foregoing, to comply with all
laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property, in each case except where

that is no longer an Excluded Subsidiary), in each case, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with written notice
thereof shall cause each such New Loan Party to deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) a guaranty or a joinder to the Guaranty
Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, guaranteeing the Finance Parties’ obligations
under the Finance Documents and (y) a joinder to all applicable Collateral Documents then in existence, in each case as specified

of such Subsidiary under the Finance Documents to be accompanied by appropriate corporate resolutions, other corporate documentation
and customary legal opinions as may be reasonably requested by, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, the Administrative
Agent and its counsel.
(b) The
Borrower will cause, and will cause each other Loan Party to cause, all of its owned personal property to be subject at all times
to perfected Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Finance Parties to secure the Finance Obligations in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents on a first priority basis, subject to no other Liens other
than Permitted Liens. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower (i) will cause 100% of the issued and outstanding
Equity Interests of each Subsidiary directly owned by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to be subject at all times to a perfected
Lien on a first priority basis, subject to Permitted Liens, in favor of the Administrative Agent to secure the Finance Obligations
in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Collateral Documents or such other pledge and security documents as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably request and (ii) will, and will cause each other Loan Party to, deliver Mortgages with respect to each Mortgaged
Property, together with Mortgage Instruments.
(c) Without
limiting the foregoing, the Borrower will, and will cause each other Loan Party to, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed
and delivered, to the Administrative Agent such documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be taken such
further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, Mortgages and other documents and
such other actions or deliveries of the type required by Section 4.01, as applicable), which may be required by law or which
the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and to ensure perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral
Documents, all at the expense of the Borrower.
(d) If
any asset constituting Collateral is acquired by a Loan Party after the Closing Date (other than assets constituting Collateral
under the Collateral Documents that become subject to the Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent upon acquisition thereof), the
Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will cause such
Collateral to be subject to a Lien securing the Finance Obligations and will take, and cause the other Loan Parties to take, such
actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions
described in clause (c) above, all at the expense of the Borrower; provided that, with respect to Equity Interests,
such actions will be limited to those specified in clause (b) above.
(e) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to any property, including Mortgaged Property, acquired after the Closing Date or with respect to any
New Loan Party, the Loan Parties shall have ninety (90) days after the acquisition thereof or such Person becomes a New Loan Party
(or such later date as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its reasonable discretion with respect
thereto) to take the actions required by this Section.
Section 6.10 Designation
of Subsidiaries. The Borrower may, at any time from and after the Closing Date, designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) immediately
before and after such designation, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) immediately after
giving effect to such designation, the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.10
on a Pro Forma Basis in accordance with Section 1.03(c) (and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any such
designation, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations
demonstrating such compliance) and (iii) if a Restricted Subsidiary is being designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary hereunder,
such Restricted Subsidiary, together with all other Unrestricted Subsidiaries as of such date of designation, must not have contributed
greater than 10% of the Borrower’s Consolidated EBITDA (calculated inclusive of all Unrestricted Subsidiaries), as of the
most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower, for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended, for which financial
statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01. The designation of any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted
Subsidiary after the Closing Date shall constitute an Investment by the applicable Loan Party therein at the date of designation
in an amount equal to the fair market value of the applicable Loan Party’s investment therein (as determined in good faith
by the Borrower). The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute (i) the incurrence
at the time of designation of any Investment, Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time and (ii) a return
on any Investment by the applicable Loan Party in Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the preceding sentence in an amount equal
to the fair market value at the date of such designation of such Loan Party’s Investment in such Subsidiary. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither the Borrower nor any direct or indirect parent company of the Borrower shall be permitted to be an Unrestricted
Subsidiary.
Section 6.11 Ratings.

to issue a corporate family rating (or the equivalent thereof) of the Borrower and (z) S&P to continue to issue a corporate

the Borrower to maintain a specific rating).

with Environmental Laws. Each of the Loan Parties and Restricted Subsidiaries will comply, and use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause all lessees and other Persons occupying real property of any Loan Party to comply, with all Environmental Laws
and Environmental Permits applicable to its operations, real property and facilities; obtain and renew all material Environmental
Permits applicable to its operations, real property and facilities; and conduct all investigations, response and other corrective
actions to address the Release or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials to the extent required by, and in accordance with,
Environmental Laws, except in each case for any such failure which would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect; provided that no Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary shall be required to undertake any such action to the extent
that its obligation to do so is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and appropriate reserves are being maintained
with respect to such circumstances in accordance with GAAP.
Section 6.13 Lender
Calls. The Borrower shall cause one of its Responsible Officers or any other appropriate representatives, upon the request
of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, to participate in a conference call with the Administrative Agent and Lenders
once during each fiscal year.
Section 6.14 Sanctions.
The Borrower will ensure that no Acquired Business unlawfully (i) conducts any business or engages in making or receiving any
contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Embargoed Person, (ii) deals in, or otherwise engages in
any transaction related to, any property or interests in property blocked pursuant to any Sanction or (iii) engages in or conspires

the applicable prohibitions set forth in any Economic Sanctions Laws.

made, and (g) upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the notice of Borrower’s intent to make a Specified Equity
Contribution and until ten (10) Business Days after the day on which the financial statements are required to be delivered for
the applicable fiscal quarter pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or 6.01(b), as the case may be, neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Lender shall accelerate the Finance Obligations or otherwise exercise any remedies available to it during the continuance

or indirectly, use the proceeds of any Letters of Credit or Loans, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds
in any other manner that will result in a violation by any individual or entity (including any individual or entity participating
in the transaction, whether as a Lender, Lead Arranger, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender
or otherwise) of Sanctions.

indemnification obligation;

(o) any
Collateral Document shall for any reason fail to create a valid and perfected first priority security interest in any material
portion of the Collateral purported to be covered thereby (and to the extent required thereby).
Section 8.02 Acceleration;
Remedies. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (or the Collateral
Agent, as applicable) shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following
actions:
(a) Termination
of Commitments. Declare the Commitments terminated whereupon the Commitments shall be immediately terminated.
(b) Acceleration
of Loans. Declare the unpaid principal of and any accrued interest in respect of all Loans, any Reimbursement Obligations
arising from drawings under Letters of Credit and any and all other indebtedness or obligations of any and every kind (other than
contingent indemnification obligations) owing by a Loan Party to any of the Lenders hereunder to be due whereupon the same shall
be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived
by the Loan Parties.
(c) Cash
Collateral. Direct the Borrower to pay (and the Borrower agrees that upon receipt of such notice, or upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(h), (i)or (j), it will immediately pay) to the Collateral Agent
additional cash, to be held by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in a cash collateral account as additional
security for the L/C Obligations in respect of subsequent drawings under all then outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal
to the maximum aggregate amount which may be drawn under all Letters of Credit then outstanding plus all accrued interest and fees
thereon.
(d) Enforcement
of Rights. Enforce any and all rights and interests created and existing under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation,
all rights and remedies existing under the Loan Documents, all rights and remedies against a Guarantor and all rights of setoff.
(e) Enforcement
Rights Vested Solely in Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. The Lenders agree that this Agreement may be enforced
only by the action of the Administrative Agent, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and, with respect to the
Collateral, the Collateral Agent, and that no other Finance Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce any Loan
Document or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(h), (i) or (j) shall occur, then the Commitments shall automatically
terminate, all Loans, all Reimbursement Obligations under Letters of Credit, all accrued interest in respect thereof and all accrued
and unpaid fees and other indebtedness or obligations owing to the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately
become due and payable and the obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations, as aforesaid shall automatically
become effective, in each case without the giving of any notice or other action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, which
notice or other action is expressly waived by the Loan Parties.
Section 8.03 Allocation
of Payments After Event of Default.
(a) Priority
of Distributions. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in
respect of their Finance Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.09(c) and 2.14, after the exercise of remedies
provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations
have been required to be Cash Collateralized), all amounts collected or received on account of any Finance Obligation shall, subject
to the provisions of Section 2.16 and Section 2.17, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:
FIRST, to
pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any
Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower;
SECOND, to
the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’
fees) of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent then due and payable and under any Loan Document in connection with enforcing
the rights of the Finance Parties under the Finance Documents, including all expenses of sale or other realization of or in respect
of the Collateral, and all advances incurred or made by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and any other obligations
owing to the Collateral Agent in respect of sums advanced by the Collateral Agent to preserve the Collateral or to preserve its
security interest in the Collateral;
THIRD, to
the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of (i) each of the Lenders (including any L/C Issuer
in their capacities as such) in connection with enforcing its rights under the Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the
Senior Credit Obligations owing to such Lender, (ii) each Swap Creditor in connection with enforcing any of its rights under the
Swap Agreements or otherwise with respect to the Swap Obligations owing to such Swap Creditor and (iii) each Cash Management Bank
in connection with enforcing any of its rights under any Secured Cash Management Agreement;
FOURTH, to
the payment of all of the Senior Credit Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest;
FIFTH, except
as set forth in clauses FIRST through FOURTH above, to the payment of the outstanding Finance Obligations owing to any Finance
Party, pro rata, as set forth below, with (i) an amount equal to the Senior Credit Obligations being paid to the Collateral Agent
(in the case of Senior Credit Obligations owing to the Collateral Agent) or to the Administrative Agent (in the case of all other
Senior Credit Obligations) for the account of the Lenders or any Agent, with the Collateral Agent, each Lender and the Agents receiving
an amount equal to its outstanding Senior Credit Obligations, or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all Senior Credit
Obligations, its Pro rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed, (ii) an amount equal to the Swap Obligations being paid
to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) for the Swap Creditors,
with each Swap Creditor receiving an amount equal to the outstanding Swap Obligations owed to it by the Loan Parties or, if the
proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Swap Obligations, its Pro rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed
and (iii) an amount equal to the Cash Management Obligations being paid to Cash Management Banks, with each Cash Management
Bank receiving an amount equal to the outstanding Cash Management Obligations it entered into with a Loan Party or, if the proceeds
are insufficient to pay in full all such obligations, its Pro rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed; and
SIXTH, to
the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
In carrying out the foregoing,
(i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding
category; (ii) each of the Finance Parties shall receive an amount equal to its Pro rata Share of amounts available to be applied
pursuant to clauses THIRD, FOURTH and FIFTH above; and (iii) to the extent that any amounts available for
distribution pursuant to clause FIFTH above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of
Credit to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.05 and 2.16, such amounts
shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (x) first, to reimburse each applicable L/C Issuer
from time to time for any drawings under any Letters of Credit and (y) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit,
to all other obligations of the types described in clause FIFTH above in the manner provided in this Section 8.03.
(b) Pro
rata Treatment. For purposes of this Section 8.03, “Pro rata Share” means, when calculating a
Finance Party’s portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator
of which is the then unpaid amount of such Finance Party’s Senior Credit Obligations, Swap Obligations or Cash Management
Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the then outstanding amount of all Senior Credit Obligations,
Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, as the case may be. If any payment to any Finance Party of its Pro rata Share
of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Finance Party, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect
of the unpaid Senior Credit Obligations, Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Finance
Parties, with each Finance Party whose Senior Credit Obligations, Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, as the case
may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which
is the unpaid Senior Credit Obligations, Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, as the case may be, of such Finance Party
and the denominator of which is the unpaid Senior Credit Obligations, Swap Obligations or Cash Management Obligations, as the case
may be, of all Finance Parties entitled to such distribution.
(c) Distributions
with Respect to Letters of Credit. Each of the Finance Parties agrees and acknowledges that if (after all outstanding Loans
and Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit have been paid in full) the Lenders are to receive a distribution
on account of undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued (or deemed issued) under this Agreement, such amounts shall
be deposited in a cash collateral account to be controlled by the Collateral Agent as cash security for the repayment of Finance
Obligations owing to the Lenders as such. Upon termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit, all of such cash security shall
be applied to the remaining Finance Obligations of the Lenders. If there remains any excess cash security, such excess cash shall
be withdrawn by the Collateral Agent from such cash collateral account and distributed in accordance with Section 8.03(a)
hereof.
(d) Reliance
by Collateral Agent. For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 8.03, the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and (ii) the Representative, if any, for
the Swap Creditors for a determination (which the Administrative Agent, each Representative for any Swap Creditor and the Finance
Parties agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Senior Credit Obligations and
Swap Obligations owed to the Agents, the Lenders or the Swap Creditors, as the case may be. Unless it has actual knowledge (including
by way of written notice from a Swap Creditor or any Representatives thereof) to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, in acting
hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Swap Agreements are in existence.
ARTICLE IX.
AGENCY PROVISIONS
Section 9.01 Appointment
and Authority. Each of the Lenders and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Barclays Bank PLC, to act on its behalf
as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such
actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof,
together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Lenders and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably
appoints Barclays Bank PLC, to act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes
the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by
the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this
Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger, the Lenders and the L/C
Issuers, and none of the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
Each L/C Issuer shall
act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith,
and each L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (a) provided to the Agents in this Article with respect to any
acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued
by it and L/C Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article
and the definition of “Agent Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (b)
as additionally provided herein with respect to each L/C Issuer.
Section 9.02 Rights
as a Lender. Each Person serving as an Agent or a Lead Arranger hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity
as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent or a Lead Arranger, as applicable, and
the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise
requires, include the Person serving as an Agent or a Lead Arranger, as applicable, hereunder in its individual capacity. Such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other
advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof
as if such Person were not an Agent or a Lead Arranger, as applicable, hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders.
Section 9.03 Exculpatory
Provisions. Each Agent and each Lead Arranger, each in its capacity as such, shall not have any obligations, duties or responsibilities
under this Agreement but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Article IX. The Administrative Agent shall not have
any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, none of the Agents or any Lead Arranger:
(i) shall
be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii) shall
have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required
Lenders (or such other number of percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents);
provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel,
may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt
any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification
or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Bankruptcy Law; and
(iii) shall,
except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the
Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
No Agent shall be liable
for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or
percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances
as provided in Article VIII and Section 10.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge
or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by the Borrower,
a Lender or an L/C Issuer and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”
No Agent shall be responsible
for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder
or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms
or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of
any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required
to be delivered to such Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this
Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other
implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term us used merely as a matter
of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
Each party to this Agreement
acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent will use an outside service provider for the tracking of all UCC financing
statements required to be filed pursuant to the Loan Documents and notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things,
the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by such service provider.
Section 9.04 Reliance
by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet
website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by
the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction
of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or L/C Issuer
unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making
of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance
with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 9.05 Delegation
of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other
Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any
such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related
Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 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 Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible
for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a
final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection
of such sub-agents.
Section 9.06 Indemnification
of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand each
Agent Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligations of any
Loan Party to do so) on a pro rata basis (determined as of the time that the applicable payment is sought based on each Lender’s
ratable share at such time) and hold harmless each Agent Related Person against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by
it; provided that (a) no Lender shall be liable for payment to any Agent Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from such Agent Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct (and no action taken in accordance with the
directions of the Required Lender shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section)
and (b) to the extent any L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender is entitled to indemnification under this Section solely in its capacity
and role as an L/C Issuer or as a Swing Line Lender, as applicable, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to indemnify
such L/C Issuer or such Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section (determined as of the time that
the applicable payment is sought based on each Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof at such time).
In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section applies whether
any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing,
each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses
(including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or
otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights and responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any
document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such costs or
expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower.
Section 9.07 Resignation
of Agents. Each Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Borrower. Upon
receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred or is continuing, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a
successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United
States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within
30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the
L/C Issuers, with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided
that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such
resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from
its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held
by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent
shall continue to hold as nominee such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (b)
all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through an Agent shall instead be made by or to
each Lender and L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in
this Section 9.07. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) (and for the avoidance
of doubt, any successor Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of any Swap Agreements outstanding at such time),
Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
(if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.07). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After
the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section
10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
Any resignation by Barclays
Bank PLC as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer
and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of a retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line
Lender, (ii) a retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for
the Letters of Credit issued by the retiring L/C Issuer, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements
satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters
of Credit.
Section 9.08 Non-Reliance
on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent Related Person or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender further represents
and warrants that it has reviewed each document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has
acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof and each L/C Issuer also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based
on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking
or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.
Section
9.09 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Agents or any Lead Arranger shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent, a Lender or L/C Issuer hereunder.
Section 9.10 Administrative
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, examinership, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative
Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or
by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall
be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations
and all other Senior Credit Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable
in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective
agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.09
and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding;
(ii) to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and
(iii) and
any custodian, receiver, examiner, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding
is hereby authorized by each Lender and L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the
Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative
Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.09 and 10.04.
Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Senior Credit Obligations or the rights of any Lender
or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
Section 9.11 Collateral
and Guaranty Matters. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Required
Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater or lesser proportion of the Lenders) in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent or Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater or lesser proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein,
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent,
at its option and in its discretion:
(i) to
release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under any Finance Document
(A) upon Discharge of Senior Credit Obligations, (B) that is sold, transferred, disposed or to be sold, transferred, disposed as
part of or in connection with any Disposition (other than any sale to a Loan Party) permitted hereunder, (C) subject to Section
10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or (D) to the extent such property is owned by
a Guarantor upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (iii) below;
(ii) to
subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document
to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clause (c) or (d) of the definition of Permitted
Encumbrances;
(iii) to
release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary or
becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (or designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in
accordance with Section 6.10); and
(iv) to
enter into non-disturbance and similar agreements in connection with the licensing of intellectual property permitted pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent
at any time the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its
interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement
pursuant to this Section 9.11.
In each case as specified
in this Section 9.11, the applicable Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the applicable Agent to), at the
Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request
(i) to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under
the Collateral Documents, (ii) to enter into non-disturbance or similar agreements in connection with the licensing of intellectual
property or (iii) to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance
with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11 and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Agent.
Section 9.12 Related
Obligations. The benefit of the Loan Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Collateral shall extend
to and be available in respect of any Swap Obligations and Cash Management Obligations permitted hereunder from time to time owing
to one or more Affiliates of one or more Lenders or owing to one or more Swap Creditors or Cash Management Banks (collectively,
“Related Obligations”) solely on the condition and understanding, as among the Collateral Agent and all Finance
Parties, that (i) the Related Obligations shall be entitled to the benefit of the Loan Documents and the Collateral to the extent
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to such extent the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent shall hold, and have the right and power to act with respect to, the Guaranty Agreement and the Collateral on behalf of
and as agent for the holders of the Related Obligations, but the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent are otherwise acting
solely as agent for the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and shall have no fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure
or other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Related Obligations, (ii) all matters, acts and omissions relating in any manner
to the Guaranty Agreement, the Collateral, or the omission, creation, perfection, priority, abandonment or release of any Lien,
shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no separate Lien, right, power or
remedy shall arise or exist in favor of any Finance Party under any separate instrument or agreement or in respect of any Related
Obligation, (iii) each Finance Party shall be bound by all actions taken or omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders, as applicable,
each of whom shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion and exclusively in its own interest given its own Commitments and
its own interest in the Loans, L/C Obligations and other Senior Credit Obligations to it arising under this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, without any duty or liability to any Swap Creditor or Cash Management Bank or as to any Related Obligation and
without regard to whether any Related Obligation remains outstanding or is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral or becomes
unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby and (iv) no holder of Related Obligations and no other Finance Party
(except the Lenders to the extent set forth in this Agreement) shall have any right to be notified of, or to direct, require or
be heard with respect to, or to consent to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under this Agreement or
the Loan Documents.
Section 9.13 Withholding
Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may deduct or withhold from any payment to any
Lender Party an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section
3.01, each Lender Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, within 10 days after written demand
therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges, and disbursements
of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue
Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from
amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender Party for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate
form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender Party failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change
in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, whether or not such Tax was correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to any Lender Party by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender Party hereby
authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.13. The agreements
in this Section 9.13 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights
by, or the replacement of, a Lender Party, the termination of the Agreement or Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all other obligations.

Each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that
it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including all notices,
requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such

due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Default under this Agreement or (iv)

medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent at vanessa.kurbatskiy@barclays.com and ltmny@Barclays.com
or at such other e-mail address(es) provided to the Borrower from time to time or in such other form, including hard copy delivery
thereof, as the Administrative Agent shall require. In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the Communications
to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in such other form, including
hard copy delivery thereof, as the Administrative Agent shall require. Nothing in this Section 10.02 shall prejudice the
right of the Agents, any Lender or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or as any such Agent shall require. Excluded
Communications shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent by facsimile communication or as the Administrative Agent shall direct.
The Communications required
to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been
delivered on the date (i), in the case of financial statements and Communications referred to in Sections 6.01(a) and (b)
and Section 6.02 on which such financial statements and/or appropriate disclosures are publicly available as posted on the
Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (EDGAR) or any successor filing system of the SEC, (ii) Borrower posts
such documents, or provides a link thereto on the Borrower’s website on the Internet; or (iii) on which such documents are
posted on the Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or Intranet website, if any, to which the Administrative Agent has access
(whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided that: (i) upon written
request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver copies (which may be electronic) of such documents to the Administrative
Agent until a written request to cease delivering copies is given by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Borrower shall notify
(which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative Agent (and each Lender if there is at the time no incumbent Administrative
Agent) of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e.
soft copies) of such documents. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies
of the documents referred to above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower with any
such request for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies
of such documents. Furthermore, if any financial statement, certificate or other information required to be delivered pursuant
to Section 6.01 shall be required to be delivered on any date that is not a Business Day, such financial statement, certificate
or other information may be delivered to the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day after such date.
To the extent consented
to by the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time, the Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications
by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address(es) set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications
to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents; provided that the Borrower shall also deliver to the Administrative
Agent an executed original of each Compliance Certificate required to be delivered hereunder.
Each Loan Party further
agrees that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on a Platform.
The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Agents do not warrant the accuracy or completeness
of the Communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications.
No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness
for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any
Agent in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties
have any liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any other Person for damages of any kind, including direct
or indirect, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Loan Party’s or the Administrative
Agent’s transmission of communications through the Internet, except to the extent the liability of such Person is found in
a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct. Additionally, in no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties have any
liability to the Loan Parties, any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any other Person for any special, incidental or consequential damages.
The Borrower hereby acknowledges
that (i) the Administrative Agent and/or the Lead Arranger will make available to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers materials and/or
information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting
the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (ii) certain
of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information
with respect to the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing) (each, a “Public
Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that so long as the Borrower is the issuer of any outstanding debt or equity securities
that are issued pursuant to a public offering registered with the SEC or in a private placement for resale pursuant to Rule 144A
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or is actively contemplating issuing any such securities: (i) all Borrower Materials
are to be made available to Public Lenders unless clearly and conspicuously marked “Private – Contains Non-Public Information”
which, at a minimum, shall mean that the words “Private – Contains Non-Public Information” shall appear prominently
on the first page thereof; (ii) by not marking Borrower Materials “Private – Contains Non-Public Information,”
the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders to
treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its or their
securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent
such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.07); (iii) all Borrower
Materials that are marked “Public – Does Not Contain Non-Public Information” are permitted to be made available
through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor,” and (iv) the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger
shall treat only any Borrower Materials that are marked “Public – Does Not Contain Non-Public Information” as
being suitable for posting on a portion of the Platform designated “Public Investor.”
Section 10.03 No
Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or any L/C Issuer or by the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no
delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided
are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

by Borrower. The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof),
the Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Lead Arranger, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, 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 liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs
(including settlement costs), disbursements and out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements
of counsel) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan
Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document,
or any amendment, amendment and restatement, modification or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof, or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, thereby, or related thereto or, in the case of the Administrative Agent
(and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii)
any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any L/C Issuer to honor
a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials
on, at, under or from any property owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries at any time,
or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or
prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or
any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee
is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or a Related Party thereof,
or (y) disputes solely among Indemnitees not involving any act or omission of any Loan Party or any of their respective Related
Parties (other than a dispute against the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any Lead Arranger in their capacities as such);
provided, further, that the Loan Parties shall not be required to reimburse the legal fees and expenses of more than
one counsel (in addition to one special counsel in each specialty area, up to one local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction
and any additional counsel for an Indemnified Party reasonably deemed appropriate by virtue of potential conflicts of interests
incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, suit, proceeding (including any inquiry
or investigation) or claim (whether or not any Agent, any Lender or any other such Indemnified Party is a party to any action or
proceeding out of which any such expenses arise)).
(c) Waiver
of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the full extent permitted by applicable Law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan
Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, and each of the Agents, each L/C Issuer and each Lender agrees not to assert
or permit any of their respective subsidiaries to assert any claim against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents or advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential
(including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) or punitive damages (in each case, 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, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit
or the use of the proceeds thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 10.04(c) shall limit any Indemnitee’s
right to indemnification provisions for third party claims as set forth in Section 10.04(b)). No Indemnitee referred to
in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or
other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection
with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(d) Payments.
All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than thirty days after receipt of invoice in reasonable detail of
such amounts.
(e) Survival.
The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, the replacement of any
Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Senior Credit Obligations.
Section 10.05 Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party is made to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds
of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid
to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or
otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (ii)
each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from
or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at
a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C
Issuers under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Senior Credit Obligations
and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 10.06 Successors
and Assigns.
(a) Successors
and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any
of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Swing
Line Lender and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i)
to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) below, (ii) by way of participation in accordance
with the provisions of clause (d) below or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions
of clause (f) below (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower or any Lender shall be null and void).
Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) below and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.
(b) Assignments
by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall
not include any Disqualified Institution, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or
a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including for purposes of this clause (b), any Participation Interests in the
Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided, however, that:
(i) except
in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans owing to it
or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate
amount of (x) in the case of Revolving Commitments and/or Revolving Loans, the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes
Revolving Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Revolving Commitments are not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance
of the Revolving 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 or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment
and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 or (y) in the case of Term Commitments and/or Term Loans,
the Term Commitment (which for this purpose includes Term Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Term Commitments are not then
in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Term 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 or, if “Trade
Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000, in each case
of (x) and (y), unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no payment or bankruptcy Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided
that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to
the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower has received notice thereof); provided, however,
that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single
Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes
of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;
(ii) each
partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders’ rights and obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the class of Loans or the class of Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii)
shall not apply to rights in respect of Swing Line Loans;
(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 in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in
its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; provided, further,
that only a single processing and recordation fee shall be payable in respect of multiple contemporaneous assignments to Approved
Funds with respect to any Lender. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative
Questionnaire;
(iv) No
such assignment shall be made to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (iv); and
(v) In
connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective
unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional
payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be
outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding,
with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but
not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x)
pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder
(and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations
in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without
compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender
for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
(and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01,
3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment). Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note or Notes to the assignee Lender. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b)
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 clause (d) below.
(c) Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans and L/C Obligations
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall record
each transfer of the Loans to a transferee upon written notification by the registered owner of such transfer; provided,
however, that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s
Commitments in respect of any Loan. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to
the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition,
the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of
any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the L/C Issuers, the Collateral
Agent, the Swing Line Lender and, with respect to its own interest only, any other Lender, at any reasonable time and from time
to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers or the
Swing Line Lender sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any
Disqualified Institution; provided, however, that, participations may be sold to Disqualified Institutions unless
a list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available to all Lenders by or on behalf of the Borrower) (each, a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided
that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible
to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
and L/C Issuers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the
Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that
such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment,
modification or waiver described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant.
Subject to clause (e) below, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
3.01 or 3.04, and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections) to the same extent as if
it were a Lender (but, with respect to any particular Participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation
to such Participant) and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) above. To the extent permitted by
Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender (but, with respect
to any particular Participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such Participant); provided
such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.
Each Lender that sells
a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it
enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each Participant’s
interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided
that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the
identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Credit Extensions
or other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit
or other proceeding to establish that any such Commitment, Credit Extension 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.
No participation shall
be or shall be deemed to be a discharge, rescission, extinguishment or substitution of any outstanding Loan and any Loan subject
to a participation shall continue to be the same obligation and not a new obligation.
(e) Limitations
on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or
3.04 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 Participation is made with the Borrower’s prior consent.
(f) Certain
Pledges. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, pledge or assign
a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations
of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee
or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g) Electronic
Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of
like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic
form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of
a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the
Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or
any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
(h) Disqualified
Institution Information. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Administrative
Agent shall not (i) except to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) in taking or failing to take any action, be responsible for, have any liability
with respect to, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Agreement
relating to Disqualified Institutions or have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of
Loans or Commitments to any Disqualified Lender and (ii) except to the extent arising out of its gross negligence or willful misconduct
(as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), have any liability with respect to any
disclosure of confidential information to any Disqualified Institutions.
Section 10.07 Treatment
of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Lenders and each L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality
of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’
respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, managing members or managers, counsel, accountants and
other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
(it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information
and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority or regulatory
authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) (in which case,
the Administrative Agent or such Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower prior
to such disclosure to the extent practicable and legally permitted to do so), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or
by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder
or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement
of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) to any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating any Lender, (g) (i) any
rating agency, and (ii) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07,
to (x) any assignee of or Participant (other than any Disqualified Institution; provided, however, that, participations
may be sold to Disqualified Institutions unless a list of Disqualified Institutions has been made available to all Lenders by
or on behalf of the Borrower) in (or their Representatives, it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made
will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in (or their Representatives, it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure
is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential)
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (y) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Representatives, it
being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information
and instructed to keep such Information confidential) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations,
(h) with the consent of the Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result
of a breach of this Section and not in breach of any agreement binding on any Person (to the knowledge of such Person) or (y)
becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential
basis from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received
from or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their
respective businesses or Affiliates, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender
or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required
to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation
to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person
would accord to its own confidential information.
Section 10.08 Right
of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, and each of their respective
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the full extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held
and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for
the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the then due and owing obligations of
the Borrower or such Loan Party, as applicable, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such
Lender or L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or (x) such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or (y) are owed to a branch or office of such
Lender or L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided,
that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid
over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17
and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative
Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Senior Credit Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it
exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective
Affiliates may have. Each Lender and L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any
such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff
and application.
Section 10.09 Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be
paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate,
the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.
In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum
Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense,
fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (iii) amortize, prorate,
allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Senior Credit
Obligations hereunder.
Section 10.10 Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute
the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof; provided that, notwithstanding anything contained
herein, the Fee Letter shall survive the Closing Date. 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 that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement.
Section 10.11 Survival
of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and
in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such
other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agents, the L/C Issuers or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge
of any Default, Event of Default, or incorrect representation or warranty at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue
in full force and effect until the Discharge of Senior Credit Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations).
The provisions of Sections 2.14, 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04, and Sections 10.10 through
10.15 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Loans, the payment of the Reimbursement
Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or
any provision hereof.
Section 10.12 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. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the
extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Bankruptcy
Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such
provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
Section 10.13 Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) Governing
Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract
or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other
Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein), and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the Law of the State of New York.
(b) Submission
to Jurisdiction. Each party 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 irrevocably and unconditionally
submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may
be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the full extent permitted by applicable Law, in such Federal court.
Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation 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
in any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may otherwise have
to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties
in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c) Waiver
of Venue. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the full extent permitted by applicable Laws, 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 Section 10.13(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the full extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of
such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Service
of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to any Loan Document, in the manner provided for notices (other than telecopier) in Section 10.02. Nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by
applicable Laws.

of Jury Trial. Each party hereby waives, to the full extent permitted by applicable Laws, 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 (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

AMENDMENT NO 1 TO SUPPLY AGREEMENT BETWEEN
GE HEALTHCARE AS AND AMRI RENSSELAER,
INC.
FOR SUPPLY OF AMINOBISAMIDE HCL (“ABA
HCL”) DATED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015
This Amendment Number 1, (“First Amendment”)
to the Supply Agreement between GE Healthcare AS (“GEHC”) and AMRI Rensselaer, Inc (the “Supplier”)
for supply of ABA Hcl (the “Supply Agreement”).
Pursuant to Clause 24.8 of Attachment C of the Supply Agreement
GEHC and the Supplier have agreed to make the following changes to the Supply Agreement as stated below:
| 1. | Section C of Page 1 of the Supply Agreement so that the Effective Date and Length of Contract read as follows, |
“Effective date: January 1st
2015
Length of contract:
This Agreement shall take effect retrospectively from the Effective Date and, subject to the rights of termination in clause 1
of Attachment C, shall continue until December 31st 2018 (the “Term”). The Parties shall meet on
or before 2 years prior to the expiration of the Term to decide whether to renew this Agreement. If the Agreement is not extended
prior to the date of termination, the Agreement will terminate at the expiration of the Term.”
| 2. | Attachment A of the Supply Agreement is deleted and shall be replaced with the new Attachment A at Annex 1 to this First Amendment |
| 3. | A new clause 8 (b) shall be inserted into Attachment B of the Supply Agreement as follows, |
“Non-Binding and Binding Forecasts. Any
twelve (12) month forecast provided by GEHC or mutually developed by the Parties for GEHC’s requirements for Products shall
not be binding in any way on GEHC and GEHC may modify any such forecast at any time in its sole discretion, except that the forecast
for the first 10 weeks of any given twelve month forecast shall constitute a binding order for the Product (“Firm Period
Forecast”) and GEHC shall be required to “take or pay,” accordingly, unless otherwise agreed to in writing
by the Parties. The Supplier shall confirm within five (5) days of receiving any Firm Period Forecast of its ability to satisfy
such Firm Period Forecast. In the event that the Supplier is unable to supply volumes in accordance with GEHC’s Firm Period
Forecast, GEHC shall be relieved of its obligation to purchase only to the extent that this is required to meet GEHC’s needs
in the current calendar year for volumes that cannot be supplied by the Supplier. In the event that the Supplier is not able to
deliver volumes according to the Firm Period Forecast commitments in this Agreement that are confirmed by the Supplier as set forth
above and if as result GEHC will need to source the Product from a different source, the Supplier shall pay any difference in prices
under this Agreement and the price GEHC is required to pay to obtain the Product from a third party supplier, up to a limit of
15% (fifteen percent) of the price according to the Agreement.”
Portions of this Exhibit were
omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting
confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Exchange Act - [***] denotes omissions.
| 4. | A new first paragraph of clause 9 shall be inserted into Attachment B of the Supply Agreement as follows, |
“At GEHC’s request, the Supplier must share with
the Parties a business continuity plan, this being a plan highlighting risks of business interruption, measures in place to minimize
the risks and plan for recovery in the event that there still would be an incident of business interruption including the Supplier’s
plan for 24/7 communication with the Parties if such an incident should occur (the “Business Continuity Plan”).
The Business Continuity Plan will also include basic information on Supplier’s upstream supply chain activity. For instance,
this information will include who is supplying the Supplier, where they are located and the means of transportation for the supplies.
| 5. | Attachment E of the Supply Agreement shall be deleted and replaced with a new Attachment E, as set out in Annex 2 to this First
Amendment. |
| 6. | All other terms of the Supply Agreement shall remain unchanged and in force. |

of Product annually as from September 1st 2016. Supplier’s commitment to supply the volume estimates above, and
the [*****] metric tons, assumes an approximately even distribution of volume of Product ordered for delivery over the course of

In order for the Supplier and GEHC to work together in optimizing
the cost base, the supplier should have [*****] in order to establish cooperation between the Supplier and GEHC to optimize sourcing
of raw materials for the production of the Product. Although GEHC will seek to contribute to the optimization of raw material supplies
for the Product production, the Supplier will continue to be responsible for securing supplies of raw materials and to have a robust
vendor management program.
The Parties agree to review payment terms opportunities [*****].
