Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K
discusses the consummation of the Business Combination and various other transactions and events contemplated by the Merger Agreement
which took place on the Closing Date and is incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the consummation of the Business
Combination, Reservoir Media Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Reservoir Holdings (“RMM”),
completed a refinancing of its existing senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Debt Refinancing”), pursuant
to that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2021 (the “RMM Credit Agreement”),
by and among RMM, RMI, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Truist Bank, as administrative agent. The RMM Credit Agreement
provides RMM with a senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of US$248,750,000 (such facility, the “Senior Credit
Facility”).
The Senior Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity
date of October 16, 2024. In addition to payment of the fees and expenses related to the Debt Refinancing, proceeds of the Senior
Credit Facility may be used to finance RMM’s music publishing investments and for other general corporate purposes.
Borrowings under the RMM Credit Agreement bear
interest at a rate equal to either the sum of a base rate plus a margin of 1.25% or the sum of a LIBO rate plus a margin of 2.25%.
RMM is also required to pay an unused fee in respect of unused commitments under the RMM Credit Facility, if any, at a rate of 0.25% per
annum.
Each of RMI, Reservoir Holdings and certain subsidiaries
of RMM have provided guarantees of RMM’s obligations under the RMM Credit Agreement. Substantially all tangible and intangible assets
of RMI, Reservoir Holdings, RMM and the other guarantors are pledged as collateral to secure the obligations of RMM under the RMM Credit
Agreement, including accounts, receivables, cash and cash equivalents, deposit accounts, securities accounts, commodities accounts, inventory
and certain intercompany debt owing to RMI or its subsidiaries.
The RMM Credit Agreement contains customary covenants
limiting the ability of RMI, Reservoir Holdings, RMM and certain of its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur debt or liens, merge
or consolidate with others, make investments, make cash dividends, redeem or repurchase capital stock, dispose of assets, enter into
transactions with affiliates or enter into certain restrictive agreements. In addition, RMI, on a consolidated basis with its subsidiaries,
must comply with financial covenants requiring RMI to maintain (i) a total leverage ratio of no greater than 6.00:1.00 as of the
end of each fiscal quarter, (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.25:1.00 for each four fiscal quarter period and
(iii) a consolidated senior debt to library value ratio of 0.55, subject to certain adjustments. If RMM does not comply with the
covenants in the RMM Credit Agreement, the lenders may, subject to customary cure rights, require the immediate payment of all amounts
outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility.
The foregoing description of the RMM Credit Agreement
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the RMM Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached
as Exhibit 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the consummation of the Business
Combination, RMI expects to enter into indemnification agreements with each of RMI’s directors and executive officers. Each indemnification
agreement will provide for indemnification and advancements by RMI of certain expenses and costs relating to claims, suits or proceedings
arising from the director’s or executive officer’s service to RMI or, at RMI’s request, service to other entities, as
directors or executive officers, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
At the Effective Time (and, for the avoidance
of doubt, following the Reservoir Holdings Preferred Stock Conversion):
In connection with the consummation of the Business
Combination, an aggregate of 44,714,705 shares of the RMI Common Stock was issued to the stockholders of Reservoir Holdings (the “Merger
Consideration Shares”), resulting in the former stockholders of Reservoir Holdings owning approximately 69.8% of RMI following
the Business Combination.
In connection with the consummation of the Business
Combination, holders of 10,295,452 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of ROCC (the “ROCC Common Stock”)
sold in ROCC’s initial public offering consummated in December 2020 properly exercised their right to have their shares of
ROCC Common Stock redeemed at a redemption price of approximately $10.00 per share, or approximately $103.0 million in the aggregate.
Pursuant to the subscription agreements entered
into in connection with the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”), certain accredited
investors agreed to subscribe for an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of the ROCC Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for
an aggregate purchase price of $150.0 million (the “PIPE Investment”). The Company consummated the PIPE Investment
immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. The placement agents in the PIPE Investment, Roth Capital Partners,
LLC and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC, received customary fees in connection with the closing of the PIPE Investment in the amount of
approximately $5.8 million in the aggregate.
After giving effect to the issuance of the Merger
Consideration Shares, the redemption of the ROCC Common Stock and the consummation of the PIPE Investment, there were 64,069,253 shares
of the RMI Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The RMI Common Stock and RMI’s
warrants are expected to commence trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market LLC under the symbols “RSVR” and “RSVRW,”
respectively, on July 29, 2021, subject to ongoing review of RMI’s satisfaction of all listing criteria following the consummation
of the Business Combination, in lieu of the ROCC Common Stock and ROCC’s warrants, respectively. ROCC’s units have automatically
separated into the ROCC Common Stock and ROCC’s warrants and ceased trading separately on the Nasdaq Capital Market LLC following
the consummation of the Business Combination.
Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K states that,
if the registrant was a shell company, as the Company was immediately before the consummation of the Business Combination, then the registrant
must disclose the information that would be required if the registrant were filing a general form for registration of securities on the
Form 10 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Accordingly, the Company
is providing below the information that would be included in the Form 10 if it were to file the Form 10. Please note that the
information provided below relates to the Company following the consummation of the Business Combination, unless otherwise specifically
indicated or the context otherwise requires.

Article I - Corporate Offices
1.1
Registered Office.
The address of the registered office of Reservoir
Media, Inc. (the “Corporation”) in the State of Delaware, and the name of its registered agent at such address, shall
be as set forth in the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time
(the “Certificate of Incorporation”).
1.2
Other Offices.
The Corporation may have additional offices at
any place or places, within or outside the State of Delaware, as the Corporation’s board of directors (the “Board”)
may from time to time establish or as the business of the Corporation may require.
Article II - Meetings of
Stockholders
2.1
Place of Meetings.
Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place,
within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the Board. The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders
shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2)
of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination,
stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office.
2.2
Annual Meeting.
The Board shall designate the date and time of
the annual meeting. At the annual meeting, directors shall be elected and other proper business properly brought before the meeting in
accordance with Section 2.4 may be transacted. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously scheduled annual
meeting of stockholders.
2.3
Special Meeting.
Special meetings of the stockholders may be called
only by such persons and only in such manner as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation.
No business may be transacted at any special meeting
of stockholders other than the business specified in the notice of such meeting. The Board may postpone, reschedule or cancel any previously
scheduled special meeting of stockholders.
2.4
Notice of Business to be Brought before a Meeting.
(a)
At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the
meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be (i) specified in a notice of meeting given by or at the
direction of the Board, (ii) if not specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before the meeting by the Board or the Chairman
of the Board or (iii) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder present in person who (A) (1) was a record
owner of shares of the Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.4 and at the time
of the meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (3) has complied with this Section 2.4 in all applicable
respects or (B) properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (as so amended and inclusive of such rules and regulations, the “Exchange
Act”). The foregoing clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to propose business to be brought before
an annual meeting of the stockholders. The only matters that may be brought before a special meeting are the matters specified in the
notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling the meeting pursuant to Section 2.3, and stockholders
shall not be permitted to propose business to be brought before a special meeting of the stockholders. For purposes of this Section 2.4,
“present in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be brought before the annual meeting
of the Corporation, or a qualified representative of such proposing stockholder, appear at such annual meeting. A “qualified
representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or
any other person authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act
for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or
a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders. Stockholders seeking to nominate persons
for election to the Board must comply with Section 2.5, and this Section 2.4 shall not be applicable to nominations
except as expressly provided in Section 2.5.
(b)
For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must (i) provide Timely Notice
(as defined below) thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the Corporation and (ii) provide any updates or supplements
to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.4. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must
be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more
than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however,
that if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be so delivered, or mailed and
received, not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and
not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the
tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made by the Corporation;
provided, further, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after
such anniversary date, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not later than the ninetieth
(90th) day prior to such annual meeting or, if later, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure
of the date of such annual meeting was first made by the Corporation (such notice within such time periods, “Timely Notice”).
In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the
giving of Timely Notice as described above.
(c)
To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.4, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation
shall set forth:
(i)
As to each Proposing Person (as defined below), (A) the name and address of such Proposing Person (including, if applicable,
the name and address that appear on the Corporation’s books and records); and (B) the class or series and number of shares
of the Corporation that are, directly or indirectly, owned of record or beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act) by such Proposing Person, except that such Proposing Person shall in all events be deemed to beneficially own any shares
of any class or series of the Corporation as to which such Proposing Person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in
the future (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) are referred to as “Stockholder Information”);
(ii)
As to each Proposing Person, (A) the full notional amount of any securities that, directly or indirectly, underlie any “derivative
security” (as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act) that constitutes a “call equivalent position”
(as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1(b) under the Exchange Act) (“Synthetic Equity Position”) and that is, directly
or indirectly, held or maintained by such Proposing Person with respect to any shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation;
provided that, for the purposes of the definition of “Synthetic Equity Position,” the term “derivative security”
shall also include any security or instrument that would not otherwise constitute a “derivative security” as a result of any
feature that would make any conversion, exercise or similar right or privilege of such security or instrument becoming determinable only
at some future date or upon the happening of a future occurrence, in which case the determination of the amount of securities into which
such security or instrument would be convertible or exercisable shall be made assuming that such security or instrument is immediately
convertible or exercisable at the time of such determination; and, provided, further, that any Proposing Person satisfying the
requirements of Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange Act (other than a Proposing Person that so satisfies Rule 13d-1(b)(1) under the Exchange
Act solely by reason of Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(E)) shall not be deemed to hold or maintain the notional amount of any securities that underlie
a Synthetic Equity Position held by such Proposing Person as a hedge with respect to a bona fide derivatives trade or position of such
Proposing Person arising in the ordinary course of such Proposing Person’s business as a derivatives dealer, (B) any rights
to dividends on the shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proposing Person that are separated
or separable from the underlying shares of the Corporation, (C) any material pending or threatened legal proceeding in which such
Proposing Person is a party or material participant involving the Corporation or any of its officers or directors, or any affiliate of
the Corporation, (D) any other material relationship between such Proposing Person, on the one hand, and the Corporation or any affiliate
of the Corporation, on the other hand, (E) any direct or indirect material interest in any material contract or agreement of such
Proposing Person with the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective
bargaining agreement or consulting agreement), (F) a representation that such Proposing Person intends or is part of a group that
intends to deliver a proxy statement or form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital
stock required to approve or adopt the proposal or otherwise solicit proxies from stockholders in support of such proposal and (G) any
other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required
to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Proposing Person in support of the business proposed to be
brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses
(A) through (G) are referred to as “Disclosable Interests”); provided, however, that Disclosable
Interests shall not include any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial
bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare and submit
the notice required by these bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner; and
(iii)
As to each item of business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, (A) a brief description of the
business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material
interest in such business of each Proposing Person, (B) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions
proposed for consideration and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment),
and (C) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (x) between or among any of the
Proposing Persons or (y) between or among any Proposing Person and any other person or entity (including their names) in connection
with the proposal of such business by such stockholder; and (D) any other information relating to such item of business that would
be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies in support
of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act; provided, however,
that the disclosures required by this Section 2.4(c)(iii) shall not include any disclosures with respect to any broker, dealer,
commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the stockholder directed to prepare
and submit the notice required by these bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner.
For purposes of this Section 2.4, the
term “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of business proposed to be
brought before an annual meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the
business proposed to be brought before the annual meeting is made, and (iii) any participant (as defined in paragraphs (a)(ii)-(vi)
of Instruction 3 to Item 4 of Schedule 14A) with such stockholder in such solicitation.
(d)
A Proposing Person shall update and supplement its notice to the Corporation of its intent to propose business at an annual meeting,
if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall
be true and correct as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business
days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed
and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business
days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made
as of such record date), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment
or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned
or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment
or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other
Section of these bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder,
extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder
to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding matters, business or resolutions proposed
to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.
(e)
Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting that is not properly
brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.4. The presiding officer of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant,
determine that the business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.4, and if he or
she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall
not be transacted.
(f)
This Section 2.4 is expressly intended to apply to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting of
stockholders other than any proposal made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the Corporation’s
proxy statement. In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.4 with respect to any business proposed to be brought before
an annual meeting, each Proposing Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such business.
Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to affect the rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the
Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
(g)
For purposes of these bylaws, “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national
news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13,
14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
2.5
Notice of Nominations for Election to the Board.
(a)
Nominations of any person for election to the Board at an annual meeting or at a special meeting (but only if the election of directors
is a matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the person calling such special meeting) may be made at
such meeting only (i) as provided in that certain Stockholders Agreement, dated as of April 14, 2021, by and among Roth CH Acquisition II
Co. (now known as Reservoir Media, Inc.), Reservoir Holdings, Inc., CHLM Sponsor-1 LLC (“Sponsor”) and the other stockholder
parties thereto (as such agreement may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
the “Stockholders Agreement”), (ii), by or at the direction of the Board, including by any committee or persons authorized
to do so by the Board or these bylaws, or (iii) by a stockholder present in person (A) who was a record owner of shares of the
Corporation both at the time of giving the notice provided for in this Section 2.5 and at the time of the meeting, (B) is
entitled to vote at the meeting, and (C) has complied with this Section 2.5 as to such notice and nomination. For purposes
of this Section 2.5, “present in person” shall mean that the stockholder proposing that the business be
brought before the meeting of the Corporation, or a qualified representative of such stockholder, appear at such meeting. A “qualified
representative” of such proposing stockholder shall be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or
any other person authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act
for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or
a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders. Other than as provided in the Stockholders
Agreement, the foregoing clause (iii) shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons
for election to the Board at an annual meeting or special meeting.
(b)
(i) Without qualification, for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board at an annual
meeting, the stockholder must (1) provide Timely Notice (as defined in Section 2.4) thereof in writing and in proper
form to the Secretary of the Corporation, (2) provide the information, agreements and questionnaires with respect to such stockholder
and its candidate for nomination as required to be set forth by this Section 2.5 and (3) provide any updates or supplements
to such notice at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.5.
(i)
Without qualification, if the election of directors is a matter specified in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction
of the person calling a special meeting, then for a stockholder to make any nomination of a person or persons for election to the Board
at a special meeting, the stockholder must (1) provide Timely Notice thereof in writing and in proper form to the Secretary of the
Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation, (2) provide the information with respect to such stockholder and
its candidate for nomination as required by this Section 2.5 and (3) provide any updates or supplements to such notice
at the times and in the forms required by this Section 2.5. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice for nominations to
be made at a special meeting must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier
than the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the ninetieth (90th)
day prior to such special meeting or, if later, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure (as defined
in Section 2.4) of the date of such special meeting was first made.
(ii)
In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or special meeting or the announcement thereof commence
a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.
(iii)
In no event may a Nominating Person provide Timely Notice with respect to a greater number of director candidates than are subject
to election by shareholders at the applicable meeting. If the Corporation shall, subsequent to such notice, increase the number of directors
subject to election at the meeting, such notice as to any additional nominees shall be due on the later of (1) the conclusion of
the time period for Timely Notice, (2) the date set forth in Section 2.5(b)(ii) or (3) the tenth day following the
date of public disclosure (as defined in Section 2.4) of such increase.
(c)
To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.5, a stockholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation
shall set forth:
(i)
As to each Nominating Person (as defined below), the Stockholder Information (as defined in Section 2.4(c)(i), except
that for purposes of this Section 2.5, the term “Nominating Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing
Person” in all places it appears in Section 2.4(c)(i));
(ii)
As to each Nominating Person, any Disclosable Interests (as defined in Section 2.4(c)(ii), except that for purposes
of this Section 2.5, the term “Nominating Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing
Person” in all places it appears in Section 2.4(c)(ii) and the disclosure with respect to the business to be brought
before the meeting in Section 2.4(c)(ii) shall be made with respect to the election of directors at the meeting); and
(iii)
As to each candidate whom a Nominating Person proposes to nominate for election as a director, (A) all information with respect
to such candidate for nomination that would be required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice pursuant to this Section 2.5
if such candidate for nomination were a Nominating Person, (B) all information relating to such candidate for nomination that is
required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election
of directors in a contested election pursuant to Section 14(a) under the Exchange Act (including such candidate’s written consent
to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected), (C) a description of any direct or indirect
material interest in any material contract or agreement between or among any Nominating Person, on the one hand, and each candidate for
nomination or his or her respective associates or any other participants in such solicitation, on the other hand, including, without limitation,
all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 under Regulation S-K if such Nominating Person were the “registrant”
for purposes of such rule and the candidate for nomination were a director or executive officer of such registrant and (D) a completed
and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement as provided in Section 2.5(f).
For purposes of this Section 2.5, the
term “Nominating Person” shall mean (i) the stockholder providing the notice of the nomination proposed to be
made at the meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the nomination proposed
to be made at the meeting is made, and (iii) any other participant in such solicitation.
(d)
A stockholder providing notice of any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting shall further update and supplement such notice,
if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall
be true and correct as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business
days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed
and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than five (5) business
days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made
as of such record date), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment
or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned
or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment
or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other
Section of these bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder,
extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder
to amend or update any nomination or to submit any new nomination.
(e)
In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.5 with respect to any nomination proposed to be made at a meeting,
each Nominating Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such nominations.
(f)
To be eligible to be a candidate for election as a director of the Corporation at an annual or special meeting, a candidate must
be nominated in the manner prescribed in Section 2.5 and the candidate for nomination, whether nominated by the Board or by
a stockholder of record, must have previously delivered (in accordance with the time period prescribed for delivery in a notice to such
candidate given by or on behalf of the Board), to the Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation,
(i) a completed written questionnaire (in a form provided by the Corporation) with respect to the background, qualifications, stock
ownership and independence of such proposed nominee and (ii) a written representation and agreement (in form provided by the Corporation)
that such candidate for nomination (A) is not and, if elected as a director during his or her term of office, will not become a party
to (1) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given and will not give any commitment or assurance to, any
person or entity as to how such proposed nominee, if elected as a director of the Corporation, will act or vote on any issue or question
(a “Voting Commitment”) or (2) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such proposed nominee’s
ability to comply, if elected as a director of the Corporation, with such proposed nominee’s fiduciary duties under applicable law,
(B) is not, and will not become a party to, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the
Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation or reimbursement for service as a director that has not been disclosed
to the Corporation and (C) if elected as a director of the Corporation, will comply with all applicable corporate governance, conflict
of interest, confidentiality, stock ownership and trading and other policies and guidelines of the Corporation applicable to directors
and in effect during such person’s term in office as a director (and, if requested by any candidate for nomination, the Secretary
of the Corporation shall provide to such candidate for nomination all such policies and guidelines then in effect).
(g)
The Board may also require any proposed candidate for nomination as a Director to furnish such other information as may reasonably
be requested by the Board in writing prior to the meeting of stockholders at which such candidate’s nomination is to be acted upon
in order for the Board to determine the eligibility of such candidate for nomination to be an independent director of the Corporation
in accordance with the Corporation’s corporate governance guidelines.
(h)
A candidate for nomination as a director shall further update and supplement the materials delivered pursuant to this Section 2.5,
if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be true and correct
as of the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the
meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the
Secretary of the Corporation at the principal executive offices of the Corporation (or any other office specified by the Corporation in
any public announcement) not later than five (5) business days after the record date for stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting
(in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of such record date), and not later than eight (8) business days
prior to the date for the meeting or, if practicable, any adjournment or postponement thereof (and, if not practicable, on the first practicable
date prior to the date to which the meeting has been adjourned or postponed) (in the case of the update and supplement required to be
made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation
to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these bylaws shall not limit the Corporation’s rights
with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed
to permit a stockholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including
by changing or adding nominees, matters, business or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the stockholders.
(i)
No candidate shall be eligible for nomination as a director of the Corporation unless such candidate for nomination and the Nominating
Person seeking to place such candidate’s name in nomination has complied with this Section 2.5. The presiding officer
at the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that a nomination was not properly made in accordance with Section 2.5,
and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare such determination to the meeting, the defective nomination shall be
disregarded and any ballots cast for the candidate in question (but in the case of any form of ballot listing other qualified nominees,
only the ballots cast for the nominee in question) shall be void and of no force or effect.
(j)
Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no candidate for nomination shall be eligible to be seated as a director
of the Corporation unless nominated and elected in accordance with Section 2.5.
(k)
Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, for so long as Sponsor and the Corporation are entitled to nominate a
Director pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, Sponsor and the Corporation shall not be subject to the notice procedures with respect
to such Director set forth in this Section 2.5.
2.6
Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings.
Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate
of Incorporation or these bylaws, the notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be sent or otherwise given in accordance with Section 8.1
not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting.
The notice shall specify the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders
and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or
purposes for which the meeting is called.
2.7
Quorum.
Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate
of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote,
present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of
business at all meetings of the stockholders. A quorum, once established at a meeting, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough
votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either
(i) the person presiding over the meeting or (ii) a majority in voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting,
present in person, or by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy, shall have power to recess the meeting or adjourn
the meeting from time to time in the manner provided in Section 2.8 until a quorum is present or represented. At any recessed
or adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the
meeting as originally noticed.
2.8
Adjourned Meeting; Notice.
When a meeting is adjourned to another time or
place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and
the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at
such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At any adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact
any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice
of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new
record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix as the record date
for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination
of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record
entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.
2.9
Conduct of Business.
The date and time of the opening and the closing
of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the person presiding
over the meeting. The Board may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall
deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board, the person presiding over
any meeting of stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting,
to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures (which need not be in writing) and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such
presiding person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the
Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment
of an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety
of those present (including, without limitation, rules and procedures for removal of disruptive persons from the meeting); (iii) limitations
on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted
proxies or such other persons as the person presiding over the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting
after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants.
The presiding person at any meeting of stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct
of the meeting (including, without limitation, determinations with respect to the administration and/or interpretation of any of the rules,
regulations or procedures of the meeting, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting), shall,
if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a matter of business was not properly brought before the meeting and if
such presiding person should so determine, such presiding person shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly
brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the person presiding
over the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.
2.10
Voting.
Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate
of Incorporation, these bylaws or the DGCL, each stockholder shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of capital stock held
by such stockholder.
Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate
of Incorporation, at all duly called or convened meetings of stockholders at which a quorum is present, for the election of directors,
a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect a director. Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation,
these bylaws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, or applicable law or pursuant to any regulation
applicable to the Corporation or its securities, each other matter presented to the stockholders at a duly called or convened meeting
at which a quorum is present shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the votes cast (excluding
abstentions and broker non-votes) on such matter.
2.11
Record Date for Stockholder Meetings and Other Purposes.
In order that the Corporation may determine the
stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board may fix a record date,
which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record
date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting.
If the Board so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting
unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the
date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to
notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is
first given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination
of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting;
provided, however, that the Board may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned
meeting; and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or
an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.
In order that the Corporation may determine the
stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled
to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of capital stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action,
the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted,
and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining
stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto.
2.12
Proxies.
Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting
of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or
by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted
or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that
states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A proxy may be in the form
of an electronic transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the transmission
was authorized by the stockholder.
2.13
List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote.
The Corporation shall prepare, at least ten (10)
days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however,
that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the
list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth (10th) day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical
order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Corporation
shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open
to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting:
(i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided
with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the Corporation’s principal executive office. In
the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps
to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the
list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder
who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination
of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to
access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders
entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall
be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 2.13
or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
2.14
Inspectors of Election.
Before any meeting of stockholders, the Corporation
shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment and make a written report thereof. The Corporation
may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If any person appointed as inspector
or any alternate fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the person presiding over the meeting shall appoint a person to fill
that vacancy.
Such inspectors shall:
(a)
determine the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, the number of shares represented at the meeting and the
validity of any proxies and ballots;
(b)
count all votes or ballots;
(c)
count and tabulate all votes;
(d)
determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspector(s);
and
(e)
certify its or their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and its or their count of all votes and ballots.
Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge
of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspection with strict impartiality and according
to the best of such inspector’s ability. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence
of the facts stated therein. The inspectors of election may appoint such persons to assist them in performing their duties as they determine.
2.15
Delivery to the Corporation.
Whenever this Article II requires one
or more persons (including a record or beneficial owner of stock) to deliver a document or information to the Corporation or any officer,
employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation or other document or agreement), such
document or information shall be in writing exclusively (and not in an electronic transmission) and shall be delivered exclusively by
hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and the
Corporation shall not be required to accept delivery of any document not in such written form or so delivered. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Corporation expressly opts out of Section 116 of the DGCL with respect to the delivery of information and documents to the Corporation
required by this Article II.
Article III - Directors

Powers.
Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate
of Incorporation or the DGCL, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board.
3.2
Number of Directors.
Subject to the Certificate of Incorporation, the
total number of directors constituting the Board shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board. No reduction of the
authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director’s term of office expires.
3.3
Election, Qualification and Term of Office of Directors.
Except as provided in Section 3.4,
and subject to the Certificate of Incorporation and the Stockholders Agreement, each director, including a director elected to fill a
vacancy or newly created directorship, shall hold office until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.
Directors need not be stockholders. The Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws may prescribe qualifications for directors.
3.4
Resignation and Vacancies.
Any director may resign at any time upon notice
given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Corporation. The resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein or
upon the happening of an event specified therein, and if no time or event is specified, at the time of its receipt. Subject to the Stockholders
Agreement, when one or more directors so resigns and the resignation is effective at a future date or upon the happening of an event to
occur on a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such
vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director
so chosen shall hold office as provided in Section 3.3.
Subject to the Stockholders Agreement, and unless
otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification
or removal of any director, and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors shall be
filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director.
3.5
Place of Meetings; Meetings by Telephone.
The Board may hold meetings, both regular and special,
either within or outside the State of Delaware.
Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate
of Incorporation or these bylaws, members of the Board, or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in a meeting of the
Board, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating
in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting pursuant to this bylaw shall constitute presence in person at
the meeting.
3.6
Regular Meetings.
Regular meetings of the Board may be held within
or outside the State of Delaware and at such time and at such place as which has been designated by the Board and publicized among all
directors, either orally or in writing, by telephone, including a voice-messaging system or other system designed to record and communicate
messages, facsimile, or by electronic mail or other means of electronic transmission. No further notice shall be required for regular
meetings of the Board.
3.7
Special Meetings; Notice.
Special meetings of the Board for any purpose or
purposes may be called at any time by the chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary of the

(a)
delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone;
(b)
sent by United States first-class mail, postage prepaid;
(c)
sent by facsimile or electronic mail; or
(d)

Corporation’s records.
If the notice is (i) delivered personally
by hand, by courier or by telephone, (ii) sent by facsimile or electronic mail, or (iii) sent by other means of electronic transmission,
it shall be delivered or sent at least twenty-four (24) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting. If the notice is sent by
U.S. mail, it shall be deposited in the U.S. mail at least four (4) days before the time of the holding of the meeting. The notice
need not specify the place of the meeting (if the meeting is to be held at the Corporation’s principal executive office) nor the
purpose of the meeting.
3.8
Quorum.
At all meetings of the Board, unless otherwise
provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction
of business. The vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board,
except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws. If a quorum is not present
at any meeting of the Board, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement
at the meeting, until a quorum is present.
3.9
Board Action without a Meeting.
Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate
of Incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board, or of any committee thereof,
may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic
transmission. After an action is taken, the consent or consents relating thereto shall be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of
the Board, or the committee thereof, in the same paper or electronic form as the minutes are maintained. Such action by written consent
or consent by electronic transmission shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the Board.
3.10
Fees and Compensation of Directors.
Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate
of Incorporation or these bylaws, the Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation, including fees and reimbursement of expenses,
of directors for services to the Corporation in any capacity.

4.1
Committees of Directors.
The Board may designate one (1) or more committees,
each committee to consist, of one (1) or more of the directors of the Corporation. The Board may designate one (1) or more directors as
alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence
or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting,
whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in
the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board or in these
bylaws, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation,
and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee shall have the power
or authority to (i) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter expressly required by the DGCL to be
submitted to stockholders for approval, or (ii) adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw of the Corporation.
4.2

(iii)
Section 3.7 (special meetings; notice);
(iv)
Section 3.9 (board action without a meeting); and
(v)
Section 7.13 (waiver of notice),
with such changes in the context of those bylaws as are necessary to
substitute the committee and its members for the Board and its members; provided, however, that:
(i)
the time of regular meetings of committees may be determined either by resolution of the Board or by resolution of the committee;
(ii)
special meetings of committees may also be called by resolution of the Board or the chairperson of the applicable committee; and
(iii)
the Board may adopt rules for the governance of any committee to override the provisions that would otherwise apply to the committee
pursuant to this Section 4.3, provided that such rules do not violate the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation
or applicable law.
4.4
Subcommittees.
Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of
Incorporation, these bylaws or the resolutions of the Board designating the committee, a committee may create one (1) or more subcommittees,
each subcommittee to consist of one (1) or more members of the committee, and delegate to a subcommittee any or all of the powers and
authority of the committee.

the Board, a Vice Chairperson of the Board, a Chief Financial Officer, a Chief Operating Officer, a Treasurer, one (1) or more Vice Presidents,
one (1) or more Assistant Vice Presidents, one (1) or more Assistant Treasurers, one (1) or more Assistant Secretaries, and any such other

the Corporation may require. Each of such officers and agents shall hold office for such period, have such authority, and perform such
duties as are provided in these bylaws or as the Board may from time to time determine.
5.4
Removal and Resignation of Officers.
Subject to the rights, if any, of an officer under
any contract of employment, any officer may be removed, either with or without cause, by the Board or, except in the case of an officer
chosen by the Board, by any officer upon whom such power of removal may be conferred by the Board.
Any officer may resign at any time by giving written
notice to the Corporation. Any resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of that notice or at any later time specified

Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Corporation
shall be filled by the Board or as provided in Section 5.3.

of any other corporation or other person standing in the name of this Corporation. The authority granted herein may be exercised either
by such person directly or by any other person authorized to do so by proxy or power of attorney duly executed by such person having the
authority.
5.7
Authority and Duties of Officers.
All officers of the Corporation shall respectively
have such authority and perform such duties in the management of the business of the Corporation as may be provided herein or designated
from time to time by the Board and, to the extent not so provided, as generally pertain to their respective offices, subject to the control
of the Board.
5.8
Compensation.
The compensation of the officers of the Corporation
for their services as such shall be fixed from time to time by or at the direction of the Board. An officer of the Corporation shall not
be prevented from receiving compensation by reason of the fact that he or she is also a director of the Corporation.
Article VI - Records
A stock ledger consisting of one or more records
in which the names of all of the Corporation’s stockholders of record, the address and number of shares registered in the name of
each such stockholder, and all issuances and transfers of stock of the corporation are recorded in accordance with Section 224 of
the DGCL shall be administered by or on behalf of the Corporation. Any records administered by or on behalf of the Corporation in the
regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account, and minute books, may be kept on, or by means of, or be
in the form of, any information storage device, or method, or one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed
electronic networks or databases), provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible paper form within a
reasonable time and, with respect to the stock ledger, that the records so kept (i) can be used to prepare the list of stockholders
specified in Sections 219 and 220 of the DGCL, (ii) record the information specified in Sections 156, 159, 217(a) and 218
of the DGCL, and (iii) record transfers of stock as governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State

Article VII - General Matters
7.1
Execution of Corporate Contracts and Instruments.
The Board, except as otherwise provided in these
bylaws, may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any instrument in the name of
and on behalf of the Corporation; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.
7.2
Stock Certificates.
The shares of the Corporation shall be represented
by certificates or shall be uncertificated. Certificates for the shares of stock, if any, shall be in such form as is consistent with
the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law. Every holder of stock represented by a certificate
shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by, any two officers authorized to sign stock certificates
representing the number of shares registered in certificate form. The Chairperson or Vice Chairperson of the Board, the Chief Executive
Officer, the President, Vice President, the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation
shall be specifically authorized to sign stock certificates. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case
any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate has ceased to
be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect
as if he or she were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.
The Corporation may issue the whole or any part
of its shares as partly paid and subject to call for the remainder of the consideration to be paid therefor. Upon the face or back of
each stock certificate issued to represent any such partly paid shares, or upon the books and records of the Corporation in the case of
uncertificated partly paid shares, the total amount of the consideration to be paid therefor and the amount paid thereon shall be stated.
Upon the declaration of any dividend on fully paid shares, the Corporation shall declare a dividend upon partly paid shares of the same
class, but only upon the basis of the percentage of the consideration actually paid thereon.
7.3
Special Designation of Certificates.
If the Corporation is authorized to issue more
than one class of stock or more than one series of any class, then the powers, the designations, the preferences and the relative, participating,
optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of such
preferences and/or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face or on the back of the certificate that the Corporation
shall issue to represent such class or series of stock (or, in the case of uncertificated shares, set forth in a notice provided pursuant
to Section 151 of the DGCL); provided, however, that except as otherwise provided in Section 202 of the DGCL, in lieu
of the foregoing requirements, there may be set forth on the face of back of the certificate that the Corporation shall issue to represent
such class or series of stock (or, in the case of any uncertificated shares, included in the aforementioned notice) a statement that the
Corporation will furnish without charge to each stockholder who so requests the powers, the designations, the preferences and the relative,
participating, optional or other special rights of each class of stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions
of such preferences and/or rights.
7.4
Lost Certificates.
Except as provided in this Section 7.4,
no new certificates for shares shall be issued to replace a previously issued certificate unless the latter is surrendered to the Corporation
and cancelled at the same time. The Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate
theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Corporation may require the owner of the lost, stolen
or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify it against
any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of
such new certificate or uncertificated shares.
7.5
Shares Without Certificates
The Corporation may adopt a system of issuance,
recordation and transfer of its shares of stock by electronic or other means not involving the issuance of certificates, provided the
use of such system by the Corporation is permitted in accordance with applicable law.
7.6
Construction; Definitions.
Unless the context requires otherwise, the general
provisions, rules of construction and definitions in the DGCL shall govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality
of this provision, the singular number includes the plural and the plural number includes the singular.
7.7
Dividends.
The Board, subject to any restrictions contained
in either (i) the DGCL or (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital
stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property or in shares of the Corporation’s capital stock.
The Board may set apart out of any of the funds
of the Corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes
shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the Corporation, and meeting contingencies.
7.8
Fiscal Year.
The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be fixed
by resolution of the Board and may be changed by the Board.
7.9
Seal.
The Corporation may adopt a corporate seal, which
shall be adopted and which may be altered by the Board. The Corporation may use the corporate seal by causing it or a facsimile thereof
to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced.
7.10
Transfer of Stock.
Shares of the stock of the Corporation shall be
transferable in the manner prescribed by law and in these bylaws. Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferred on the books
of the Corporation only by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender
to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates representing such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons (or by delivery
of duly executed instructions with respect to uncertificated shares), with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement or execution,
transfer, authorization and other matters as the Corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps.
No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Corporation for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of
the Corporation by an entry showing the names of the persons from and to whom it was transferred.
7.11
Stock Transfer Agreements.
The Corporation shall have power to enter into
and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes or series of stock of the Corporation to restrict
the transfer of shares of stock of the Corporation of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited
by the DGCL.
7.12
Registered Stockholders.
The Corporation:
(a)
shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends
and to vote as such owner; and
(b)
shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person,
whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware.
7.13
Waiver of Notice.
Whenever notice is required to be given under any
provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or
a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is
to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting,
except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any
business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular
or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless
so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws.
Article VIII - Notice
8.1
Delivery of Notice; Notice by Electronic Transmission.
Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise
may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate
of Incorporation, or these bylaws may be given in writing directed to the stockholder’s mailing address (or by electronic transmission
directed to the stockholder’s electronic mail address, as applicable) as it appears on the records of the Corporation and shall
be given (1) if mailed, when the notice is deposited in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid, (2) if delivered by courier service,
the earlier of when the notice is received or left at such stockholder’s address or (3) if given by electronic mail, when directed
to such stockholder’s electronic mail address unless the stockholder has notified the Corporation in writing or by electronic transmission
of an objection to receiving notice by electronic mail. A notice by electronic mail must include a prominent legend that the communication
is an important notice regarding the Corporation.
Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise
may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate
of Incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom
the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice or electronic transmission to the Corporation.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Corporation may give a notice by electronic mail in accordance with the first paragraph
of this section without obtaining the consent required by this paragraph.
Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph
shall be deemed given:
(i)
if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;
(ii)
if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later
of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and
(iii)
if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a notice may not be given by an electronic transmission from and after the time that (A) the
Corporation is unable to deliver by such electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices given by the Corporation and (B) such
inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible
for the giving of notice; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to discover such inability shall not invalidate any meeting
or other action.
An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
of the Corporation or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of
fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.
Article IX - Indemnification
9.1
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless,
to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any director or officer of the Corporation
who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she
is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation,
is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership
(a “covered person”), joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee
benefit plans, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines ERISA excise taxes
or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding. Notwithstanding
the preceding sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.4, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify a person
in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such person only if the Proceeding was authorized in the specific case by the Board.
9.2
Indemnification of Others.
The Corporation shall have the power to indemnify
and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any employee
or agent of the Corporation who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason
of the fact that he or she, or a person for whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation
or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership,
joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability
and loss suffered and expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding.
9.3
Prepayment of Expenses.
The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not
prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by any covered person, and may pay the expenses
incurred by any employee or agent of the Corporation, in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however,
that such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking
by the person to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified under
this Article IX or otherwise.
9.4
Determination; Claim.
If a claim for indemnification (following the final
disposition of such Proceeding) under this Article IX is not paid in full within sixty (60) days, or a claim for advancement
of expenses under this Article IX is not paid in full within thirty (30) days, after a written claim therefor has been received
by the Corporation the claimant may thereafter (but not before) file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful
in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim to the fullest extent permitted by law. In any
such action the Corporation shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification or payment
of expenses under applicable law.
9.5
Non-Exclusivity of Rights.
The rights conferred on any person by this Article IX
shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate
of Incorporation, these bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.
9.6
Insurance.
The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of
the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust enterprise or non-profit
entity against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her
status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions
of the DGCL.
9.7
Other Indemnification.
The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to
indemnify or advance expenses to any person who was or is serving at its request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit entity shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect
as indemnification or advancement of expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or non-profit
enterprise.
9.8
Continuation of Indemnification.
The rights to indemnification and to prepayment
of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article IX shall continue notwithstanding that the person has ceased
to be a director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees
and distributees of such person.
9.9
Amendment or Repeal; Interpretation.
The provisions of this Article IX shall
constitute a contract between the Corporation, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, each individual who serves or has served as a
director or officer of the Corporation (whether before or after the adoption of these bylaws), in consideration of such person’s
performance of such services, and pursuant to this Article IX the Corporation intends to be legally bound to each such current
or former director or officer of the Corporation. With respect to current and former directors and officers of the Corporation, the rights
conferred under this Article IX are present contractual rights and such rights are fully vested, and shall be deemed to have
vested fully, immediately upon adoption of theses bylaws. With respect to any directors or officers of the Corporation who commence service
following adoption of these bylaws, the rights conferred under this provision shall be present contractual rights and such rights shall
fully vest, and be deemed to have vested fully, immediately upon such director or officer commencing service as a director or officer
of the Corporation. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article IX shall not adversely affect any
right or protection (i) hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification
or (ii) under any agreement providing for indemnification or advancement of expenses to an officer or director of the Corporation
in effect prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
Any reference to an officer of the Corporation
in this Article IX shall be deemed to refer exclusively to the Chief Executive Officer, the President and the Secretary of
the Corporation, or other officer of the Corporation appointed by (x) the Board pursuant to Article V or (y) an
officer to whom the Board has delegated the power to appoint officers pursuant to Article V, and any reference to an officer
of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively
to an officer appointed by the board of directors (or equivalent governing body) of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation
and bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan
or other enterprise. The fact that any person who is or was an employee of the Corporation or an employee of any other corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise has been given or has used the title of “Vice President” or
any other title that could be construed to suggest or imply that such person is or may be an officer of the Corporation or of such other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not result in such person being constituted
as, or being deemed to be, an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise for purposes of this Article IX.
Article X - Amendments
The Board is expressly empowered to adopt, amend
or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation. The stockholders also shall have power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation;
provided, however, that such action by stockholders shall require, in addition to any other vote required by the Certificate of
Incorporation or applicable law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of all the then-outstanding
shares of voting stock of the Corporation with the power to vote generally in an election of directors, voting together as a single class.
Article XI - Forum Selection
Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the
selection of an alternative forum, (a) the Court of Chancery (the “Chancery Court”) of the State of Delaware (or,
in the event that the Chancery Court does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state
courts of the State of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative
Proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any Proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any
director, officer or stockholder of the Corporation to the Corporation or to the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any
Proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws (as either may be amended
from time to time) or (iv) any Proceeding asserting a claim against the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine; and
(b) subject to the preceding provisions of this Article XI, the federal district courts of the United States of America
shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence is
filed in a court other than the courts in the State of Delaware (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any stockholder,
such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State
of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the provisions of clause (a) of the immediately preceding
sentence and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s
counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.
Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring
any interest in any security of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this Article XI. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the provisions of this Article XI shall not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created
by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other claim for which the federal courts of the United States have exclusive
jurisdiction.
Article XII - Definitions

requires, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
An “electronic transmission”
means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, including the use of, or participation in,
one or more electronic networks or databases (including one or more distributed electronic networks or databases), that creates a record
that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient
through an automated process.
An “electronic mail” means an
electronic transmission directed to a unique electronic mail address (which electronic mail shall be deemed to include any files attached

An “electronic mail address”
means a destination, commonly expressed as a string of characters, consisting of a unique user name or mailbox (commonly referred to as

loans or other loans at rates of interest at, above, or below the Administrative Agent’s prime lending rate.
“Benchmark”
shall mean, initially, the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the One Month LIBOR Index Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event,
a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with

the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to
clause (b) or clause (c) of Section 2.16.
“Benchmark Replacement”
shall mean, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent
for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(3) the
sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the
then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement
benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing
market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated
credit facilities at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
provided
that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes
such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided further that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event, and the
delivery of a Term SOFR Notice, on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date the “Benchmark Replacement” shall revert to and
shall be deemed to be the sum of (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, as set forth in clause (1) of this
definition (subject to the first proviso above). If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would
be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
“Benchmark Replacement
Adjustment” shall mean, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement

purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order
below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent:

spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero)
as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the
Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable
Corresponding Tenor;
(b) the
spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set
for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective
upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and
(2) for

with GAAP as in effect from time to time, applied on a basis consistent with the most recent audited consolidated financial statement
of Parent delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(a); provided that if Parent notifies the Administrative Agent that Parent wishes

all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to (i) any election under Accounting Standards
Codification Section 825-10 (or any other Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or

(Topic 842), to the extent such adoption would require treating any lease (or similar arrangement conveying the right to use) as a capital
lease where such lease (or similar arrangement) would not have been required to be so treated under GAAP as in effect on December 31,
2015.
Section
1.4. Terms Generally.
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”. The words “asset” and “property”
shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all real and personal, tangible and intangible assets and
properties, including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights. The word “law” shall be construed as referring to all
statutes, rules, regulations, codes and other laws (including official rulings and interpretations thereunder having the force of law
or with which affected Persons customarily comply), and all judgments, orders, writs and degrees, of all Governmental Authorities. In
the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and
including” and the word “to” means “to but excluding”. Except as otherwise provided herein and unless the
context requires otherwise (i) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein (including this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents) shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other
document as it was originally executed or as it may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject
to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (ii) any definition of or reference to any statute,
rule or regulation shall be construed as referring thereto as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (including
succession of comparable successor laws), and all references to any statute shall be construed as referring to all rules, regulations,
rulings and official interpretations promulgated or issued thereunder, (iii) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed

under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right,
obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent
Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its
existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.
Section
1.6. LIBOR.
The London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks could obtain
short-term borrowings from one another in the London interbank market. Recent announcements by regulators have signaled a transition away
from LIBOR, and, as a result, LIBOR may no longer be available or appropriate for purposes of serving as a reference rate for Eurodollar
Loans in the near future.
Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark
Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 2.16(b) and (c) provide the mechanism for determining
an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.16(e), of any
change to the reference rates upon which the interest rates on Eurodollar Loans are based. However, the Administrative Agent does not
warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other
matter related to LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “Adjusted LIBO Rate”, “One Month LIBOR Index Rate”
or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such
alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.16(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark
Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes pursuant to Section 2.16(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative,
successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Adjusted LIBO Rate
or the One Month LIBOR Index Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.
Article
II
AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE REVOLVING COMMITMENTS
Section
2.1. General Description of Facilities.
Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Lenders hereby establish in favor of the Borrower a revolving credit
facility pursuant to which each Lender severally agrees (to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment) to make Revolving
Loans to the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2.
Section
2.2. Revolving Loans.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Loans, ratably in proportion to its
Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, to the Borrower, from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate
principal amount outstanding at any time that will not result in (a) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment or (b) the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures of all Lenders exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount.
During the Availability Period, the Borrower shall be entitled to borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement; provided that the Borrower may not borrow or reborrow should there exist a Default or Event of
Default.
Section
2.3. Procedure for Revolving Borrowings.
The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Revolving
Borrowing, substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3 attached hereto (a “Notice of Revolving Borrowing”), (x)
prior to 11:00 a.m. on the requested date of each Base Rate Borrowing and each LIBOR Index Rate Loan and (y) prior to 11:00 a.m. three
(3) Business Days prior to the requested date of each Eurodollar Borrowing. Each Notice of Revolving Borrowing shall be irrevocable and
shall specify (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing, (b) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (c)
the Type of such Revolving Loan comprising such Borrowing and (d) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the duration of the initial Interest
Period applicable thereto (subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period). Each Revolving Borrowing shall consist entirely
of Base Rate Loans, LIBOR Index Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, as the Borrower may request. The aggregate principal amount of each Eurodollar
Borrowing shall not be less than $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000, and the aggregate principal amount of each Base Rate Borrowing
or LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing shall not be less than $500,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000; provided that a Eurodollar Borrowing,
Base Rate Borrowing or LIBOR Index Borrowing may be in an aggregate principal amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments. At no time shall the total number of Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding at any time exceed four (4) or
such greater amount approved by the Administrative Agent. Promptly following the receipt of a Notice of Revolving Borrowing in accordance
herewith, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan
to be made as part of the requested Revolving Borrowing.
Section
2.4. Intentionally Omitted.
Section
2.5. Intentionally Omitted.
Section
2.6. Funding of Borrowings.
Each Lender will make available each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer in immediately available
funds by 11:00 a.m. to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the
Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts that it receives, in like funds by the close of business on such proposed date, to an account
maintained by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent or, at the Borrower’s option, by effecting a wire transfer of such amounts
to an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.
(a)
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to 5:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the date
of a Borrowing in which such Lender is to participate 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 will make such amount available to the Administrative Agent
on such date, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance on such assumption, may make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding
amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender on the date of such Borrowing,
the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest (x)
at the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and (y) at the Base Rate at all times thereafter. If such Lender
does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with
interest at the rate specified for such Borrowing. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation
to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result
of any default by such Lender hereunder.
(b)
All Borrowings shall be made by the Lenders on the basis of their respective Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible for
any default by any other Lender in its obligations hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make its Loans provided to be made
by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.
Section
2.7. Interest Elections.
(a)
Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect
to convert such Borrowing into a different Type or to continue such Borrowing, all as provided in this Section 2.7. The Borrower
may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated
ratably among the Lenders holding Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate
Borrowing.
(b)
To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.7, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic
notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing that is to be converted or continued, as the case may be, substantially in the
form of Exhibit 2.7 attached hereto (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) (x) prior to 10:00 a.m. on the requested
date of a conversion into a Base Rate Borrowing or a LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing and (y) prior to 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior
to a continuation of or conversion into a Eurodollar Borrowing. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall
specify (i) the Borrowing to which such Notice of Conversion/Continuation applies and, if different options are being elected with respect
to different portions thereof, the portions thereof that are to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information
to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing), (ii) the effective date of the election
made pursuant to such Notice of Conversion/Continuation, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be
a Base Rate Borrowing, LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing, and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar
Borrowing, the Interest Period applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition
of “Interest Period”. If any such Notice of Conversion/Continuation requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify
an Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. The principal amount of any resulting
Borrowing shall satisfy the minimum borrowing amount for Eurodollar Borrowings, LIBOR Index Rate Borrowings and Base Rate Borrowings set
forth in Section 2.3.
(c)
If, on the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any Eurodollar Borrowing, the Borrower shall have failed to deliver
a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected
to convert such Borrowing to a Base Rate Borrowing. No Borrowing may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Borrowing if a Default
or an Event of Default exists, unless the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have otherwise consented in writing. No conversion
of any Eurodollar Loan shall be permitted except on the last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof.
(d)
Upon receipt of any Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the details
thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
Section
2.8. Optional Reduction and Termination of Revolving Commitments.
(a)
Unless previously terminated, all Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
(b)
Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative
Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable), provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments delivered
under this Section 2.8 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in
which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date)
if such condition is not satisfied the Borrower may reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in part or terminate the Aggregate Revolving
Commitments in whole; provided that (i) any partial reduction shall apply to reduce proportionately and permanently the Revolving
Commitment of each Lender, (ii) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be in an amount of at least $1,000,000
and any larger multiple of $1,000,000, and (iii) no such reduction shall be permitted which would reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment
Amount to an amount less than the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders.
(c)
With the written approval of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may terminate (on a non-ratable basis) the unused amount of
the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender, and in such event the provisions of Section 2.26 will apply to all amounts thereafter
paid by the Borrower for the account of any such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees,
indemnity or other amounts); provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim that the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
Section
2.9. Repayment of Loans.
(a)
The outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall be due and payable (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon)
on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
(b)
[intentionally omitted].
Section
2.10. Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a)
Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice appropriate records evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower
to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable
thereon and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall maintain appropriate records in
which shall be recorded (i) the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (ii) the amount of each Loan made hereunder by each Lender, the Type
thereof and, in the case of each Eurodollar Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) the date of any continuation of any Loan
pursuant to Section 2.7, (iv) the date of any conversion of all or a portion of any Loan to another Type pursuant to Section
2.7, (v) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender
hereunder in respect of the Loans and (vi) both the date and amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the
Borrower in respect of the Loans and each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. The entries made in such records shall be prima facie
evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded, absent manifest error; provided
that the failure or delay of any Lender or the Administrative Agent in maintaining or making entries into any such record or any error
therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans (both principal and unpaid accrued interest)
of such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b)
This Agreement evidences the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and is being executed as a “noteless” credit
agreement. However, at the request of any Lender at any time, the Borrower agrees that it will prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender
a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved
by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including
after assignment permitted hereunder) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or,
if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
Section
2.11. Optional Prepayments.
The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty,
by giving written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent no later than (i) in the case
of any prepayment of any Eurodollar Borrowing, 11:00 a.m. not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment,
(ii) in the case of any prepayment of any Base Rate Borrowing or a LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing, 11:00 a.m. on the date of such prepayment.
Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount of each Borrowing
or portion thereof to be prepaid. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender
of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such prepayment. If such notice is given, the aggregate amount
specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date designated in such notice, together with accrued interest to such date on
the amount so prepaid in accordance with Section 2.13(d); provided that if a Eurodollar Borrowing is prepaid on a date
other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.19.
Each partial prepayment of any Loan shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of
the same Type pursuant to Section 2.2. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.
Section
2.12. Mandatory Prepayments.
(a)
No later than the Business Day following the date of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any proceeds of any
sale or disposition by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any of its assets, or any proceeds from any casualty insurance policies
or eminent domain, condemnation or similar proceedings, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to all such proceeds,
net of commissions, Taxes and other reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction
and payable by the Borrower in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-Affiliates); provided that the Borrower shall not
be required to prepay the Obligations with respect to (i) proceeds from the sales of assets in the ordinary course of business, (ii)
proceeds from other asset sales permitted under Section 7.6 and (iii) proceeds from casualty insurance policies or eminent domain,
condemnation or similar proceedings that are reinvested in assets then used or usable in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
within 180 days following receipt thereof or committed to be reinvested pursuant to a binding contract prior to the expiration of such
180-day period and actually reinvested within 360 days following receipt thereof, so long as such proceeds are held in Controlled Accounts
at Truist Bank or subject to Control Account Agreements until reinvested. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection
(d) of this Section 2.12.
(b)
No later than the Business Day following the date of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any proceeds from any
issuance of Indebtedness by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to all
such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses properly
attributable to such transaction and payable by the Borrower in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-Affiliates); provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to prepay the Obligations with respect to proceeds of Indebtedness permitted under Section
7.1. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 2.12.
(c)
[Intentionally Omitted].
(d)
Any prepayments made by the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12 shall be applied as follows:
first, to the Administrative Agent’s fees and reimbursable expenses then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents;
second, to all reimbursable expenses of the Lenders then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, pro rata to the
Lenders based on their respective pro rata shares of such fees and expenses; third, to interest and fees then due and payable hereunder,
pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective pro rata shares of such interest and fees; fourth, to the principal balance
of the Revolving Loans, until the same shall have been paid in full, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective Revolving
Commitments. The Revolving Commitments of the Lenders shall not be permanently reduced by the amount of any prepayments made pursuant
to clause fourth above, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders so request.
(e)
If at any time the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount, as reduced
pursuant to Section 2.8 or otherwise, the Borrower shall immediately repay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess,
together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such excess amount and any amounts due under Section 2.19. Each prepayment shall
be applied as follows: first, to the Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Index Rate Loans to the full extent thereof; and second, to the Eurodollar
Loans to the full extent thereof.
Section
2.13. Interest on Loans.
(a)
The Borrower shall pay interest on (i) each Base Rate Loan at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time
to time; (ii) each LIBOR Index Rate Loan at the LIBOR Index Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time and (iii)
each Eurodollar Loan at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the applicable Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus the Applicable Margin
in effect from time to time.
(b)
Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section, at the option of the Required Lenders if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, and automatically after acceleration or with respect to any past due amount hereunder, the Borrower shall pay interest (“Default
Interest”) with respect to all Eurodollar Loans at the rate per annum equal to 200 basis points above the otherwise applicable
interest rate for such Eurodollar Loans for the then-current Interest Period until the last day of such Interest Period, and thereafter,
and with respect to all Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Index Rate Loans and all other Obligations hereunder (other than Loans), at the rate
per annum equal to 200 basis points above the otherwise applicable interest rate for Base Rate Loans.
(c)
Interest on the principal amount of all Loans shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are made to but excluding the
date of any repayment thereof. Interest on all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each
March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Interest on all LIBOR Index Rate Loans shall be
payable in arrears on the last day of each calendar month, beginning October 31, 2019, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
Interest on all outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and, in the
case of any Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each day which occurs every three months after the
initial date of such Interest Period, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Interest on any Loan which is converted into a
Loan of another Type or which is repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such conversion or on the date of any such repayment
or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid) thereof. All Default Interest shall be payable on demand.
(d)
The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder and shall promptly notify the Borrower
and the Lenders of such rate in writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing). Any such determination shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section
2.14. Fees.
(a)
The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon
in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(b)
The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee (the “Unused Fee”),
which shall be paid quarterly in arrears on the daily amount of the unused Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the Availability
Period in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum.
(c)
The Borrower shall pay on the Closing Date to the Administrative Agent and its affiliates all fees in the Fee Letter that are due
and payable on the Closing Date.
(d)
Accrued fees under subsection (b) of this Section 2.14 shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March,
June, September and December, commencing on September 30, 2021 and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
Section
2.15. Computation of Interest and Fees.
Interest hereunder based on the Administrative Agent’s prime lending rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or
366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other
interest and all fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be
made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.
Section
2.16. Inability to Determine Interest Rates.
(a)
If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing or LIBOR Index Rate Loan:
(i)
the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by
reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted
LIBO Rate (including, without limitation, because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) for such Interest
Period, or
(ii)
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the One Month LIBOR
Index Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining
their Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period or their LIBOR Index Rate Loans,
then the Administrative Agent
shall give written notice thereof (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as
practicable thereafter. Until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to
such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans or LIBOR Index Rate Loans or to continue
or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans or LIBOR Index Rate Loans shall be suspended and (ii) all such affected Loans
shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower prepays
such Loans in accordance with this Agreement. Unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day before
the date of any Eurodollar Borrowing or One Month LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing for which a Notice of Revolving Borrowing has previously
been given that it elects not to borrow, continue or convert to a Eurodollar Borrowing or One Month LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing on such
date, then such Revolving Borrowing shall be made as, continued as or converted into a Base Rate Borrowing.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable,
and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark,
then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”
for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any
Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent
of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with
clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will
replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without
any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative
Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required
Lenders.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition
Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current
Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan
Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent
of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the
Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice.
(d) In
connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement
Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments
implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party
to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(e) The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR
Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any
Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any
tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination,
decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this
Section 2.16, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of
an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.16.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark
Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR, the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the One Month LIBOR Index
Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from
time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator
of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will
be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark
settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to
clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement)
or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a
Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings
at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(g)
Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability
Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing or LIBOR Index Rate Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation
of Eurodollar Loans or LIBOR Index Rate Loan to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing
that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans.
During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component
of Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination
of Base Rate.
Section
2.17. Illegality.
If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Loan or LIBOR Index
Rate Loan and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the
Borrower and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances
giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Revolving Loans or LIBOR Index Rate Loan,
or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans or LIBOR Index Rate Loan, shall be suspended. In the case of the
making of a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Lender’s Revolving Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan as part of the same Revolving Borrowing
for the same Interest Period and, if the affected Eurodollar Loan or LIBOR Index Rate Loan is then outstanding, such Loan shall be converted
to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan if such Lender may
lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately in the case of a LIBOR Index Rate Loan if such Lender shall determine
that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan or LIBOR Index Rate Loan to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, designate a different Applicable Lending Office if
such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender
in the good faith exercise of its discretion.
Section
2.18. Increased Costs.
(a)
If any Change in Law shall:
(i)
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination
of the Adjusted LIBO Rate hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except
any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or
(ii)
impose on any Lender or the Eurodollar interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any
Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any participation therein; or
(iii)
subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit,
commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the
foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining a Eurodollar Loan,
then, from time to time, such
Lender may provide the Borrower (with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent) with written notice and demand with respect to such
increased costs or reduced amounts, and within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice and demand the Borrower shall pay to
such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such increased costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)
If any Lender shall have determined that on or after the date of this Agreement any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity
requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital (or on the capital of the Parent
Company of such Lender) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such Parent Company could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies or the policies of such Parent Company
with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, from time to time, such Lender may provide the Borrower (with a copy thereof to
the Administrative Agent) with written notice and demand with respect to such reduced amounts, and within five (5) Business Days after
receipt of such notice and demand the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
Parent Company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)
A certificate of such Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Parent Company of such
Lender, specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.18 shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d)
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall not constitute a waiver
of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.
Section
2.19. Funding Indemnity.
In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto
(including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure by the Borrower to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any Eurodollar Loan
on the date specified in any applicable notice (regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked), then, in any such event, the
Borrower shall compensate each Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written demand from such Lender, for any loss, cost or expense
attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined
by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar
Loan if such event had not occurred at the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to such Eurodollar Loan for the period from the date of such
event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the
period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan) over (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the principal
amount of such Eurodollar Loan for the same period if the Adjusted LIBO Rate were set on the date such Eurodollar Loan was prepaid or
converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, convert or continue such Eurodollar Loan. A certificate as to any additional
amount payable under this Section 2.19 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Section
2.20. Taxes.
(a)
Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section
2.20, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(b)
Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by
or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes,
except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent)
requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall
be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party
shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it
would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)
Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower
shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent
timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)
Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower
shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified
Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20) payable or paid by such Recipient
or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A
certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)
Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall
severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such
Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without
limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions
of Section 10.4(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender,
in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing
to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any
amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f)
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after
any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.20, the Borrower
or other 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, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.
(g)
Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to
payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition,
any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation
set forth in Section 2.20(g)(ii)(A), Section 2.20(g)(ii)(B) and Section 2.20(g)(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, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,
(A) any
Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent),
executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following
is applicable:
(1)
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect
to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect
to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction
of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)
executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.20A to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank”
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S.
Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
(4)
to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the Beneficial Owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI,
IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.20B or Exhibit
2.20C, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each Beneficial Owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign
Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption,
such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.20D on behalf of each
such direct or indirect partner;
(C) any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any
other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed,
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if
a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were
to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the
Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and
at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law
(including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA
and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and
withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA
after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if
any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form
or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)
Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received
a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the
extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party
the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant
to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified
party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise
imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not
be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it
deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i)
Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
Section
2.21. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.
(a)
The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable
under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, free and clear of any defenses, rights of set-off, counterclaim, or withholding or deduction of taxes. Any amounts received after
such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business
Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except
that payments pursuant to Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled
thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate
recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for
payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall
be made payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.
(b)
If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied as follows: first, to all fees and reimbursable expenses of the Administrative
Agent then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to all interest and fees then due and payable hereunder, pro
rata to the Lenders based on their respective pro rata shares of such interest and fees; and third, to all principal of the
Loans then due and payable hereunder, pro rata to the parties entitled thereto based on their respective pro rata shares
of such principal.
(c)
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal
of or interest on any of its Loans that would result in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount
of its Revolving Credit Exposure and accrued interest and fees thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with respect to
its Revolving Credit Exposure, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations
in the Revolving Credit Exposure of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by
the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Credit
Exposure; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto
is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest,
and (ii) the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or any
payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Credit Exposure
to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
subsection shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law,
that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation.
(d)
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume
that the Borrower will make such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to
the Lenders the amount or amounts due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each
day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation.
Section
2.22. Intentionally Omitted.
Section
2.23. Mitigation of Obligations.
If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender shall 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 reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.18 or Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would
not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation or assignment.
Section
2.24. Replacement of Lenders.
If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.18, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any
Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, (b) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender,
or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof
as contemplated by Section 10.2(b), the consent of Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of
such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained, then the
Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 10.4(b)), all of its interests,
rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.20, as applicable) and obligations under
this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender) (a “Replacement Lender”);
provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Loans
owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (in the case of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest) and from the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of a claim for
compensation under Section 2.18 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.20, such assignment will result in
a reduction in such compensation or payments, and (iv) in the case of a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent,
at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. A Lender shall
not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section
2.25. Defaulting Lenders.
(a)
Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender
is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i)
Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 10.2.
(ii)
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 a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7 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,
as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting
Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third,
if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy
such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against
such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, 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 sixth, 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 in respect of which such Defaulting
Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section
3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis
prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro
rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments under the applicable facility without giving effect to sub-section (iv) below. Any payments,
prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender
shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)
No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Fee pursuant to Section 2.14(b) for any period during which
that 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 that Defaulting Lender).
(b)
Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties
hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will,
to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative
Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Revolving
Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively
with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided,
further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender
to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.
Section
2.26. Increase of Revolving Commitments; Additional Lenders.
(a)
From time to time after the Closing Date and in accordance with this Section, the Borrower and one or more Increasing Lenders or
Additional Lenders (each as defined below) may enter into an agreement to increase the aggregate Revolving Commitments (each such increase,
an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) so long as the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) the aggregate principal amount of all such Incremental Revolving Commitments made pursuant to this Section after the Closing Date
shall not exceed $50,000,000 (the principal amount of each such Incremental Revolving Commitment, the “Incremental Commitment
Amount”);
(ii)
the Borrower shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably required
by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such proposed increase;
(iii)
at the time of and immediately after giving effect to any such proposed increase, no Default or Event of Default shall exist, all
representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (other
than those representations and warranties that are expressly qualified by a Material Adverse Effect or other materiality, in which case
such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) except to the extent that any such representation or warranty
specifically refers to an earlier date, in which case it shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (other
than those representations and warranties that are expressly qualified by a Material Adverse Effect or other materiality, in which case
such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date), and since March 31, 2020, there
shall have been no change with respect to Parent and its Subsidiaries which has had or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually
or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect; and
(iv)
any Incremental Revolving Commitments provided pursuant to this Section shall be on the same terms of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents (other than any upfront or similar fees) and any Borrowing thereunder shall be subject to the same conditions of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.
(b)
The Borrower shall provide at least 30 days’ written notice (or such shorter number of days as the Administrative Agent may
agree) to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Lender) of any proposal to establish an Incremental
Revolving Commitment. The Borrower may also, but is not required to, specify any fees offered to those Lenders (the “Increasing
Lenders”) that agree to increase the principal amount of their Revolving Commitments, which fees may be variable based
upon the amount by which any such Lender is willing to increase the principal amount of its Revolving Commitment. Each Increasing Lender
shall as soon as practicable, and in any case within 15 days (or such shorter number of days as the Administrative Agent may provide)
following receipt of such notice, specify in a written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent the amount of such proposed
Incremental Revolving Commitment that it is willing to provide. No Lender (or any successor thereto) shall have any obligation, express
or implied, to offer to increase the aggregate principal amount of its Revolving Commitment, and any decision by a Lender to increase
its Revolving Commitment shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender. Only the consent of each Increasing
Lender shall be required for an increase in the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section. No Lender
which declines to increase the principal amount of its Revolving Commitment may be replaced with respect to its existing Revolving
Commitment, as a result thereof without such Lender’s consent. If any Lender shall fail to notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent in writing about whether it will increase its Revolving Commitment within 15 days (or such shorter number of days as the Administrative
Agent may provide) after receipt of such notice, such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment. The
Borrower may accept some or all of the offered amounts or designate new lenders that are acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld) as additional Lenders hereunder in accordance with this Section (the “Additional Lenders”),
which Additional Lenders may assume all or a portion of such Incremental Revolving Commitment. The Borrower and the Administrative
Agent shall have discretion jointly to adjust the allocation of such Incremental Revolving Commitments among the Increasing Lenders and
the Additional Lenders. The sum of the increase in the Revolving Commitments of the Increasing Lenders plus the Revolving Commitments
of the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Incremental Commitment Amount.
(c)
Subject to subsections (a) and (b) of this Section, any Incremental Revolving Commitment requested by the Borrower shall be effective
upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of each of the following documents:
(i)
an instrument of joinder, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, duly executed by the Borrower,
by each Additional Lender and by each Increasing Lender (which may include telecopy or other electronic transmission of signed signature
pages), setting forth the new Revolving Commitments of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become
a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all of the terms and provisions hereof;
(ii)
evidence that the Borrower shall have paid all accrued fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as required
or agreed to be paid in connection with the Incremental Revolving Commitment, including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of
counsel to the Administrative Agent;
(iii)
such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to such Incremental Revolving Commitment
and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to such Incremental Revolving Commitment as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request;
(iv)
results of UCC, tax and judgment lien search reports (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, intellectual property searches) from
applicable jurisdictions;
(v)
a certificate of the Borrower signed by a Responsible Officer, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent, certifying that each of the conditions in subsection (a)(iii) and (v) of this Section has been satisfied;
(vi)
to the extent requested by any Additional Lender or any Increasing Lender, executed promissory notes evidencing such Incremental
Revolving Commitments, issued by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.10; and
(vii)
any other certificates or documents (including, without limitation, officer’s certificates and ratification agreements executed
by each Loan Party and Holdings) that the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.
(d)
Upon the effectiveness of any such Incremental Revolving Commitment, the Revolving Commitments and Pro Rata Share of each Lender
will be adjusted to give effect to the Incremental Revolving Commitments, which may include the Lenders making advances among themselves
so that after giving effect thereto the Revolving Loans will be held by the Lenders (including, without limitation, any Additional Lenders),
on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments hereunder (after giving effect to the Incremental Revolving
Commitment). Each Lender agrees to wire immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement as may
be required by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing and Schedule I shall automatically be deemed amended accordingly.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.2, the Administrative Agent is expressly permitted to amend the Loan
Documents to the extent necessary to give effect to any increase pursuant to this Section and mechanical changes necessary or advisable
in connection therewith (including amendments to ensure pro rata allocations of Eurodollar Loans and Base Rate Loans between Revolving
Loans incurred pursuant to this Section and Revolving Loans outstanding immediately prior to any such incurrence).

(a), (b) and (d) of this Section 3.2.
Section
3.3. Post-Closing Requirements.
The items listed on Schedule 3.3 shall be delivered in accordance with the time periods set forth on Schedule 3.3 (in each

Article
IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Parent and the Borrower represent
and warrant to the Administrative Agent and each Lender as follows:
Section
4.1. Existence; Power.
Parent and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent that such concept is applicable in the
relevant jurisdiction, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority
to carry on its business as now conducted, and (iii) is duly qualified to do business, and, to the extent that such concept is applicable
in the relevant jurisdiction, is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where a failure to
be so qualified, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section
4.2. Organizational Power; Authorization.
The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party are within such Loan Party’s
organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational and, if required, shareholder, partner or member action.
This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and Parent and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which
any Loan Party is a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower,

generally and by general principles of equity.
Section
4.3. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts.

Documents, (b) will not violate any material Requirement of Law applicable to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any material judgment,
order or ruling of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any material Contractual Obligation of

Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries, except Liens (if any) created under the Loan Documents.
Section
4.4. Financial Statements.
The Borrower has furnished to the Administrative Agent (i) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
as of March 31, 2020, and the related audited consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the Fiscal

as of December 31, 2020 and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the Fiscal Quarter and year-to-date
period then ended, certified by a Responsible Officer. Such financial statements fairly present in all material respects the consolidated
financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of such dates and the consolidated results of operations for such periods
in conformity with GAAP, subject to year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred to
in clause (ii). Since March 31, 2020, there have been no changes with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which have had or could
reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect
Section
4.5. Litigation and Environmental Matters.
(a)
No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrators or Governmental Authorities is pending against or, to the
knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or the Music Collateral (i) as to which there is
a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination that could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate,
a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) which in any manner draws into question the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document.
(b)
Except for the matters set forth on Schedule 4.5 and except as could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or
in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental
Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become

Authority and (b) all indentures, agreements or other instruments binding upon it or its properties, except, in each case, where non-compliance,
either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Section
4.7. Investment Company Act.
Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is (a) an “investment company” or is “controlled” by an “investment
company”, as such terms are defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and in effect
from time to time, or (b) otherwise subject to any other regulatory scheme limiting its ability to incur debt.
Section
4.8. Taxes.
Parent and its Subsidiaries have timely filed or caused to be filed all material Tax returns that are required to be filed by them, and
have paid all material Taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns, except where the same are currently being contested in good

in accordance with GAAP. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Parent and its Subsidiaries in respect of such taxes are adequate,
and no tax liabilities that could be materially in excess of the amount so provided are anticipated.
Section
4.9. Margin Regulations.
None of the proceeds of any of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for “purchasing” or “carrying”
any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of such terms under Regulation U or for any purpose that violates
the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as
one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying “margin stock”.
Section
4.10. Pension.
Each Plan is in material compliance in form and operation with its terms and with ERISA and the Code and all other applicable U.S. laws
and regulations. Each Plan (and each related trust, if any) which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received
a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that it meets the requirements of Sections 401(a) and
501(a) of the Code covering all applicable U.S. tax law changes, or is comprised of a master or prototype plan that has received a favorable
opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service, and nothing has occurred since the date of such determination that would adversely affect
such determination (or, in the case of a Plan with no determination, nothing has occurred that would adversely affect the issuance of
a favorable determination letter or otherwise adversely affect such qualification). No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected
to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could result
in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as could not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, there exists no Unfunded Pension Liability with respect to any Plan. As of the Closing Date, none of Parent, any of its Subsidiaries
or any ERISA Affiliate is making or accruing an obligation to make contributions, or has, within any of the five calendar years immediately
preceding the date this assurance is given or deemed given, made or accrued an obligation to make, contributions to any Multiemployer
Plan. There are no actions, suits or claims pending against or involving a Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) or, to the knowledge
of Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate, threatened, which would reasonably be expected to be asserted successfully
against any Plan and, if so asserted successfully, would reasonably be expected either individually or in the aggregate to result in a
material liability to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Parent, each of its Subsidiaries and each ERISA Affiliate have made all material
contributions required to be made to or under each Plan and Multiemployer Plan required by law within the applicable time limits prescribed
thereby, by the terms of such Plan or Multiemployer Plan, respectively, or by any contract or agreement requiring material contributions
to a Plan or Multiemployer Plan. No Plan which is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has applied for or received
an extension of any amortization period within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 303 or 304 of ERISA. None of Parent,
any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate have ceased operations at a facility so as to become subject to the provisions of Section
4068(a) of ERISA, withdrawn as a substantial employer so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4063 of ERISA or ceased making
contributions to any Plan subject to Section 4064(a) of ERISA to which it made contributions. Each Non-U.S. Plan has been maintained in
compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been
maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, except as would not reasonably be expected to result
in a material liability to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. All contributions required to be made with respect to a Non-U.S. Plan have
been timely made. Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of, or withdrawal
from, any Non-U.S. Plan. Except as could not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect,
there exists no Unfunded Pension Liability with respect to any Non-U.S. Plan. Parent is not and will not be (a) an employee benefit plan
subject to ERISA, (b) a plan or account subject to Section 4975 of the Code; (c) an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of
any such plans or accounts for purposes of ERISA or the Code; or (d) a “governmental plan” within the meaning of ERISA. Any
UK Loan Party or its Subsidiaries is not or has not at any time been an employer (for the purposes of sections 38 to 51 of the Pensions
Act 2004) of an occupational pension scheme which is not a money purchase scheme (both terms as defined in the Pensions Schemes Act 1993)
that would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Consolidated Group (taken as a whole). Holdings or any of its
Subsidiaries is not or has not at any time been “connected” with or an “associate” of (as those terms are used
in sections 38 and 43 of the Pensions Act 2004) such an employer that would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to
the Consolidated Group (taken as a whole).
Section
4.11. Ownership of Property; Insurance.
(a)
Each of Parent and its Subsidiaries has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its real and personal property material
to the operation of its business, including all such properties reflected in the most recent audited consolidated balance sheet of the
Borrower referred to in Section 4.4 or purported to have been acquired by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries after said date (except
as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement
and except in the case of Real Estate, for minor defects in title that could not reasonably be expected to materially interfere with its
ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes. All leases that individually
or in the aggregate are material to the business or operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries are valid and subsisting and are in full
force.
(b)
Except with respect to the Material Music Copyrights as to which the representations in Section 4.22 shall apply, each of
Parent and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed or otherwise has the right to use, all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names,
copyrights and other intellectual property material to its business, and, to Parent’s knowledge, the use thereof by Parent and its
Subsidiaries does not infringe in any material respect on the rights of any other Person.
(c)
The properties of Parent and its Subsidiaries are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies which are not
Affiliates of Parent, in such amounts with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in

could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, except any matters that generally affect the industries in which
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries operate. As of the Closing Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification
is true and correct in all respects. Neither the Lender’s Presentation nor any of the reports, financial statements, certificates
or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation
or syndication of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by any other
information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, taken as a whole in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect
to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions
believed to be reasonable at the time so furnished.
Section
4.13. Labor Relations.
There are no strikes, lockouts or other material labor disputes or grievances against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or, to Parent’s
knowledge, threatened against or affecting Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, and no material unfair labor practice charges or grievances
are pending against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or, to Parent’s knowledge, threatened against any of them before any Governmental
Authority. All payments due from Parent or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement have
been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of Parent or any such Subsidiary, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section
4.14. Subsidiaries.
Schedule 4.14 sets forth the name of, the ownership interest of each Subsidiary of Parent, the jurisdiction of incorporation or
organization of, and the type of each Subsidiary of Parent and the other Loan Parties and identifies each Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary

disbursement accounts, investment accounts or other similar accounts as of the Closing Date, and such Schedule correctly identifies the
name, address and telephone number of each financial institution, the name in which the account is held, the type of the account, and

(including any adverse tax consequences) of providing such a pledge is excessive in view of the benefits in respect of the security for
the Obligations hereunder to be obtained therefrom.
(c)
Parent agrees that, following the delivery of any Collateral Documents required to be executed and delivered by this Section

without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.
Section
8.2. Application of Proceeds from Collateral.
All proceeds from each sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral by any Secured Party after an Event of Default
arises shall be applied as follows:
(a)
first, to the reimbursable expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with such sale or other realization
upon the Collateral, until the same shall have been paid in full;
(b)
second, to the fees, all amounts owed pursuant to Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights, and other reimbursable expenses
of the Administrative Agent then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, until the same shall have been paid in full;
(c)
third, to all reimbursable expenses, if any, of the Lenders then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents,
until the same shall have been paid in full;
(d)
fourth, to the fees and interest then due and payable under the terms of this Agreement, until the same shall have been
paid in full;
(e)
fifth, to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans, the Bank Product Obligations and the Net Mark-to-Market
Exposure of the Hedging Obligations that constitute Obligations, until the same shall have been paid in full, allocated pro rata
among the Secured Parties based on their respective pro rata shares of the aggregate amount of such Loans, Bank Product Obligations
and Net Mark-to-Market Exposure of such Hedging Obligations; and
(f)
sixth, to the extent any proceeds remain, to the Borrower or as otherwise provided by a court of competent jurisdiction.
All amounts allocated pursuant
to the foregoing clauses third through fifth to the Lenders as a result of amounts owed to the Lenders under the Loan Documents shall
be allocated among, and distributed to, the Lenders pro rata based on their respective Pro Rata Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(a) no amount received from any Guarantor (including any proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral
owned by such Guarantor) shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor and (b) Bank Product Obligations and
Hedging Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice
thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the Bank Product Provider or the Lender-Related
Hedge Provider, as the case may be. Each Bank Product Provider or Lender-Related Hedge Provider that has given the notice contemplated
by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent
pursuant to the terms of Article IX for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.
Article
IX
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section
9.1. Appointment of the Administrative Agent.
Each Lender irrevocably appoints Truist Bank as the Administrative Agent (and in relation to the UK Law Security Documents, as security
agent and collateral agent for and on behalf of the Secured Parties on the terms as set forth in the UK Law Security Documents and this
Agreement) and authorizes it to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with all such actions and powers that are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub-agents
or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform
any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions set
forth in this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent, attorney-in-fact or Related Party and shall apply to their respective activities
in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent.
Section
9.2. Nature of Duties of the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (except as provided for in the UK
Law Security Documents), (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except those discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required
to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under
the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take
any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to
any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under
any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of
any Debtor Relief Law; and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to
disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated
to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; provided, however, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly forward to the Lenders the financial information and notices received by it pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2
hereof. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, its sub-agents or its attorneys-in-fact
with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under
the circumstances as provided in Section 10.2) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative
Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable
care. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice
thereof (which notice shall include an express reference to such event being a “Default” or “Event of Default”
hereunder) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for
or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document,
(ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith,
(iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any Loan Document,
(iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document,
or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt
of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including
counsel for the Borrower) concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
Section
9.3. Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent.
Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
Each of the Lenders, also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking any
action under or based on this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
Section
9.4. Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent.
If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or actions (including the
failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such
act unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to
any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the
Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions
of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement.
Section
9.5. Reliance by the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, posting or other distribution) believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent may also rely upon any statement
made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.
The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public 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 such counsel,
accountants or experts.
Section
9.6. The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in
its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative
Agent; and the terms “Lenders”, or “Required Lenders”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context
clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The bank acting as the Administrative Agent
and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary
or Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
Section
9.7. Successor Administrative Agent.
(a)
The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation,
the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to approval by the Borrower provided
that no Default or Event of Default shall exist at such time. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank organized
under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or a bank which maintains an office in the United States.
(b)
Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Administrative Agent
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent,
and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise
agreed by the Borrower and such successor. If, within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation under this Section 9.7, no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment,
then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative
Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes
of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit
of the Secured Parties and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral,
in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section
9.7 (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any further action
under any Collateral Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest) and (iii) the Required
Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required
Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above; provided that until such time as the Required Lenders appoint
a successor Administrative Agent as provided above (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document
to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and
(B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall also directly
be given or made to each Lender. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article
IX shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent and its representatives and agents in respect of
any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as the Administrative Agent.
Section
9.8. Withholding Tax.
To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount
equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or any other jurisdiction
asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because
the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent
of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason),
such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the
Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative
Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated
staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.
Section
9.9. The Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
(a)
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, 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 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 and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
under Section 10.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(ii)
to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.
(b)
Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding
is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to
the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative
Agent under Section 10.3.
Nothing contained herein shall
be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent
to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
Section
9.10. Authorization to Execute Other Loan Documents.
Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute on behalf of all Lenders all Loan Documents (including, without limitation,
the Collateral Documents and any subordination agreements) other than this Agreement.
Section
9.11. Collateral and Guaranty Matters.
The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion:
(a)
to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the termination
of all Revolving Commitments and the payment in full of all Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations and Bank Product Obligations),
(ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii)
if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.2;
(b)
to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the applicable Collateral Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary
as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and
(c)
to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of
any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.2(d).
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 Loan Party from its obligations under the applicable Collateral Documents
pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent is authorized, at
the Borrower’s expense, to execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request
to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the Liens granted under the applicable Collateral Documents,
or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the applicable Collateral Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms
of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11.
Section
9.12. Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee.
Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Parent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each
Lender and each other Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Lender or other Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize
upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies
hereunder and under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure
by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent
or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Administrative
Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities
unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or
payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations
as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.
Section
9.13. Secured Bank Product Obligations and Hedging Obligations.
No Bank Product Provider or Lender-Related Hedge Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 8.2, the Collateral Documents
or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any other Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to
consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including
the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided
in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not
be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Bank Product Obligations
and Hedging Obligations unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting
documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Bank Product Provider or Lender-Related Hedge Provider, as
the case may be.
Section
9.14. Erroneous Payments.
(a) If
the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party
such Lender (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent
has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds
received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise
erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient
on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise,
individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion
thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment
Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any
Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two
Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which
such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and
including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid
to the Administrative Agent in same day funds 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 from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent
to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Without
limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or
Secured Party, such Lender or Secured Party hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received
as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of
its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment
or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that
was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates),
or (z) that such Lender or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by
mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:
(i) (A)
in the case of immediately preceding clause (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from
the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case,
with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii) such
Lender or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in
all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment
or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.14(b).
(c) Each
Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to
such Lender or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender
or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the
indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d) In
the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment
(or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf)
(such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to
such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Revolving Commitments) with respect to
which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous
Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Revolving
Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any
accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together
with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating
an Assignment and Assumption by reference) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver
any promissory notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee
Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative
Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning
Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance
of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Revolving Commitments which shall
survive as to such assigning Lender, and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans
subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant
to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing
by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent
shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective
behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Revolving Commitments of any Lender and
such Revolving Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees
that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment
Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall
be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender or Secured Party under the Loan Documents with respect
to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).
(e) The
parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the
Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount
of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan Party for
the purpose of satisfying Obligations.
(f) To
the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives,
and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim
by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based
on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
Each party’s obligations,
agreements and waivers under this Section 9.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer
of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices
and other communications shall be effective upon actual receipt by the relevant Person or, if delivered by overnight courier service,
upon the first Business Day after the date deposited with such courier service for overnight (next-day) delivery or, if sent by telecopy,

(ii)
Any agreement of the Administrative Agent or any Lender herein to receive certain notices by telephone or facsimile is solely for
the convenience and at the request of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to rely on the authority
of any Person purporting to be a Person authorized by the Borrower to give such notice and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
not have any liability to the Borrower or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and all other Obligations

confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of a confirmation which is
at variance with the terms understood by the Administrative Agent and such Lender to be contained in any such telephonic or facsimile
notice.

Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including
e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing
shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II unless such Lender and the Administrative Agent have agreed to

The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic
communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices
or communications.

received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested”
function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is
not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening
of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall
be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of
notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.
Section
10.2. Waiver; Amendments.
(a)
No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right
or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights
and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive
of any rights or remedies provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or consent to any
departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) of this Section
10.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default,
regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the
time.
(b)
No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents (other than the Fee Letter), nor consent
to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Parent,
the Borrower and the Required Lenders, or Parent, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders,
and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;
provided that, in addition to the consent of the Required Lenders, no amendment, waiver or consent shall:
(i)
increase the Revolving Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;
(ii)
reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon (excluding reductions of interest resulting from
a change to a financial covenant), or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely
affected thereby;
(iii)
postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of (excluding any mandatory prepayments under Section 2.12(b)),
or interest on, any Loan or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date
for the termination or reduction of any Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected
thereby;
(iv)
change Section 2.21(b) or 2.21(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby,
without the written consent of each Lender;
(v)
change any of the provisions of this subsection (b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision
hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination
or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Lender;
(vi)
release all or substantially all of the Guarantors, or limit the liability of such Guarantors, under any guaranty agreement guaranteeing
any of the Obligations, without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided in Section 9.11 or the applicable
Collateral Document); or
(vii)
release all or substantially all Collateral (if any) securing any of the Obligations, without the written consent of each Lender
(except as expressly provided in Section 9.11 or the applicable Collateral Document);
provided,
further, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or obligations of
the Administrative Agent without the prior written consent of such Person.
Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except
that the Revolving Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended, and amounts payable to such Lender hereunder may not be
permanently reduced, without the consent of such Lender (other than reductions in fees and interest in which such reduction does not disproportionately
affect such Lender). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended and restated without the
consent of any Lender (but with the consent of Parent, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment
and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Revolving Commitments of such
Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20
and 10.3), such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and such Lender shall have been paid in full
all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.
Section
10.3. Expenses; Indemnification.
(a)
The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Sole
Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one outside
counsel (and one outside local counsel in each jurisdiction reasonably deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent) for the Administrative
Agent, the Sole Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, taken as a whole, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities
provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers thereof and
(ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements
of outside counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights
in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section 10.3, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder,
including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.
(b)
The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Sole Lead Arranger, each Lender and each
Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each
Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for any Indemnitee), limited to reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel for all Indemnitees,
taken as a whole, and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel
acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest,
where an Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another
firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may
include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions)), 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, the Existing Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document (as defined in this Agreement or the Existing Credit
Agreement) or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations
hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use
of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated
by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv)
any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract,
tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Parent 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 are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment
to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (y) a claim brought by the Borrower or any other
Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document
or (z) is a result of a dispute arising solely between or among Indemnitees and not (A) involving any action or inaction by the Borrower,
any Subsidiary Loan Party or any Subsidiary or (B) relating to any action by any Indemnitee in its capacity as Administrative Agent or
Sole Lead Arranger. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials
obtained through Syndtrak, Intralinks or any other Internet or intranet website, except as a result of such Indemnitee’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. This Section 10.3(b)
shall not apply with respect to Taxes (as to which the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.20 shall apply) other than Taxes
that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. from any non-Tax claim.
(c)
To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent under subsection (a) or
(b) of this Section 10.3, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share
(in accordance with its respective Revolving Commitment (or Revolving Credit Exposure, as applicable) determined as of the time that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified
payment, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent
in its capacity as such.
(d)
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or direct 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 therein, any Loan or the use of proceeds thereof.
(e)
All amounts due under this Section 10.3 shall be payable within five (5) Business Days after written demand therefor.
Section
10.4. Successors and Assigns.
(a)
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Parent nor the Borrower may assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance
with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 10.4, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection
(d) of this Section 10.4 or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection
(f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section 10.4 and, to the extent expressly contemplated
hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or
by reason of this Agreement.
(b)
Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments, and Loans); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the
following conditions:
(i)
Minimum Amounts.
(A) in
the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitments and Loans or in the case
of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in
any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section 10.4, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which
for this purpose includes Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Commitment is not
then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as
of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade
Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000 and in minimum
increments of $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(ii)
Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment
shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
with respect to the Loans, other Revolving Credit Exposure or the Revolving Commitments assigned.
(iii)
Required Consents. No consent shall be required
for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section 10.4 and, in addition:
(A) the
consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved
Fund of such Lender; and
(B) the
consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required.
(iv)
Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each
assignment shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, (B) a processing and recordation fee
of $3,500, (C) an Administrative Questionnaire unless the assignee is already a Lender and (D) the documents required under Section
2.20(e).
(v)
No Assignment to the certain Persons. No such
assignment shall be made to (A) Parent, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or any Subsidiary or (B) to any Defaulting
Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons
described in this clause (B) or (C), so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a Direct Competitor.
(vi)
No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment
shall be made to a natural person.
(vii)
Certain Additional Payments. In connection with
any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in
addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative
Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee
of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable
assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting
Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate)
its full pro rata share of all Loans. 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 subsection (c) of this Section 10.4, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18,
2.19, 2.20 and 10.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment;
provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection
(d) of this Section 10.4. If the consent of the Borrower to an assignment is required hereunder (including a consent to an
assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified above), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent
unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof has actually
been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) to the Borrower.
(c)
The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in Atlanta,
Georgia a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the
Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time
to time (the “Register”). Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for inspection
by such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; information contained in the Register shall
also be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In establishing
and maintaining the Register, the Administrative Agent shall serve as the Borrower’s agent solely for tax purposes and solely with
respect to the actions described in this Section 10.4, and the Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent Truist Bank serves in
such capacity, Truist Bank and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees”.
(d)
Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations
to any Person (other than a natural person, Parent, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or any Subsidiary or any Direct
Competitor) (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 Revolving Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) any such
participation shall consist of a pro rata portion of the Revolving Commitments.
Any agreement or instrument
pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement
and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument
may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect
to the following to the extent affecting such Participant: (i) increase the Revolving Commitment of such Lender; (ii) reduce the
principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder; (iii) postpone the date
fixed for any payment of any principal of (excluding mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 2.12), or interest on, any
Loan (excluding reductions in interest as a result of a change in a financial covenant) or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of,
waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Revolving Commitment; (iv) change
Section 2.21(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby; (v) change
any of the provisions of Section 10.2(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof
specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination
or grant any consent hereunder without the written consent of the Participant; (vi) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors,
or limit the liability of such Guarantors, under any guaranty agreement guaranteeing any of the Obligations without the written consent
of the Participant (except as expressly provided in Section 9.11 or the applicable Collateral Document); or (vii) release all or
substantially all Collateral (if any) securing any of the Obligations without the written consent of the Participant (except as expressly
provided in Section 9.11 or the applicable Collateral Document). Subject to subsection (e) of this Section 10.4, the Borrower
agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19, and 2.20 (subject to the requirements
and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.19(g) (it being understood that the documentation required
under Section 2.19(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired
its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section
2.24 as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7
as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.21 as though it were a Lender.
Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register in the United States on which it enters the name
and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). 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. The Borrower and the Administrative
Agent shall have inspection rights to such Participant Register (upon reasonable prior notice to the applicable Lender) solely for purposes
of demonstrating that such Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents are in “registered form” for purposes of the
Code.
(e)
A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.18 and 2.20 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation
to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.20
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower,
to comply with Sections 2.20(e) and (f) as though it were a Lender.
(f)
Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure
obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee
for such Lender as a party hereto.

and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the law (without giving
effect to the conflict of law principles thereof except for Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law) of the
State of New York; provided, however, that (i) the interpretation of the definition of “Material Adverse Effect”

of whether the Acquisition has been consummated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement shall, in each case, be governed
by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or
conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws
of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
(b)
Each of Parent and the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in
New York County, and of any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and
each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may
be heard and determined in such District Court or the New York state court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such appellate
court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced
in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document
shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document against Parent, the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c)
Each of Parent and the Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to

court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 10.5. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d)
Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1.
Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.

10.6. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY
OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY
OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE
THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.6.

10.7. Right of Set-off.
In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Lender shall
have the right, at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior
notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and
apply against all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of the Borrower at any time held or other obligations
at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations held by such Lender,
irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made demand hereunder and although such Obligations may be unmatured; 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 2.25(b) 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 Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower after any such set-off and any application made by such Lender; provided that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Each Lender agrees to apply all amounts collected from
any such set-off to the Obligations before applying such amounts to any other Indebtedness or other obligations owed by the Borrower and
any of its Subsidiaries to such Lender.
Section

Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder,
and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount
payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions
of Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20, and 10.3 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect
regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the
Revolving Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section
10.10. Severability. Any provision
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the legality, validity or enforceability
of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section
10.11. Confidentiality. Each of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of any information relating to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on
a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, except that such information may be disclosed (i) to
any Related Party of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender including, without limitation, accountants, legal counsel and other advisors,
it being understood and agreed that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information
and instructed to keep such information confidential, (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena
or similar legal process, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory agency or authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it
(including any self-regulatory authority such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iv) to the extent that such information
becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.11, or which becomes available to the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to execution
by such Person of an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.11, to (A) any assignee
of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (B)
any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap or derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be
made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (vii) to any rating agency in connection
with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein, (viii) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar
organization in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided for herein,
or (ix) with the consent of the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of any information as provided for in this
Section 10.11 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 its own confidential information. In the event
of any conflict between the terms of this Section 10.11 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Loan
Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 10.11 shall govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
understood and agreed that no Lender (or any Affiliate of any Lender) shall make any press release or other public announcement (other
than as set forth in the following sentence) with respect to this Agreement or the facilities contemplated hereby without the prior written
consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Truist Securities, Inc. shall be permitted to use information related

provided to investor or trade publications, including, but not limited to, the placement of “tombstone” advertisements in
publications of its choice at its own expense.

10.12. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts
which may be treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the
maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved
by a Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together
with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges
that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.12 shall
be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above
the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment
(to the extent permitted by applicable law), shall have been received by such Lender.
Section
10.13. Patriot Act. The Administrative
Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and

understanding that (i) (A) the services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders are arm’s-length

Section
10.19. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.
To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Obligations or any other agreement
or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”),
the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations
promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support
(with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed
by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(a)
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to
a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and
any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported
QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under
the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property)
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of
a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might
otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised
to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the
Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it
is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights
of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
(b)
As used in this Section 10.19, the following terms have the following meanings:

Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12
U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

Entity” means any of the following:

Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§252.81,

exception or exemption under applicable securities laws or the applicable rules of the

under the Plan.
|
|
(b)
|
The Committee may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities
and powers to any person(s) selected by it, except for grants of Awards to persons who are members of the Board or are otherwise

then covered by Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the Committee may delegate to one or more committees or the Board (which may

be revoked by the Committee at any time.
|
|
(c)
|
As further set forth
in Section 15(f) of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to amend the
Plan and Awards to the extent necessary to permit participation in the Plan by Eligible Persons
who are located outside of the United States or are subject to laws outside the United States
on terms and conditions comparable to those afforded to Eligible Persons located within the
United States; provided, however, that no such action shall be taken without
stockholder approval if such approval is required by applicable securities laws or regulation
or NASDAQ listing guidelines.
|
|
(d)
|
Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations,
determinations, interpretations, and other decisions regarding the Plan or any Award or any documents evidencing Awards granted pursuant
to the Plan shall be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding
upon all persons and entities, including, without limitation, the Company, any Affiliate, any Participant, any holder or beneficiary
of any Award, and any stockholder of the Company.
|
|
(e)
|
No member of the Board
or the Committee, nor any employee or agent of the Company (each such person, an “Indemnifiable
Person”), shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken or any determination
made with respect to the Plan or any Award hereunder (unless constituting fraud or a willful
criminal act or willful criminal omission). Each Indemnifiable Person shall be indemnified
and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including
attorneys’ fees) that may be imposed upon or incurred by such Indemnifiable Person
in connection with or resulting from any action, suit or proceeding to which such Indemnifiable
Person may be involved as a party, witness or otherwise by reason of any action taken or
omitted to be taken or determination made under the Plan or any Award Agreement and against
and from any and all amounts paid by such Indemnifiable Person with the Company’s approval
(not to be unreasonably withheld), in settlement thereof, or paid by such Indemnifiable Person
in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against such Indemnifiable
Person, and the Company shall advance to such Indemnifiable Person any such expenses promptly
upon written request (which request shall include an undertaking by the Indemnifiable Person
to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined as provided below
that the Indemnifiable Person is not entitled to be indemnified); provided, that the Company
shall have the right, at its own expense, to assume and defend any such action, suit or proceeding,
and once the Company gives notice of its intent to assume the defense, the Company shall
have sole control over such defense with counsel of recognized standing of the Company’s
choice. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be available to an Indemnifiable
Person to the extent that a final judgment or other final adjudication (in either case not
subject to further appeal) binding upon such Indemnifiable Person determines that the acts
or omissions or determinations of such Indemnifiable Person giving rise to the indemnification
claim resulted from such Indemnifiable Person’s fraud or willful criminal act or willful
criminal omission or that such right of indemnification is otherwise prohibited by law or
by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws. The foregoing right of indemnification
shall not be exclusive of or otherwise supersede any other rights of indemnification to which
such Indemnifiable Persons may be entitled under the Company’s certificate of incorporation
or by-laws, as a matter of law, individual indemnification agreement or contract or otherwise,
or any other power that the Company may have to indemnify such Indemnifiable Persons or hold
them harmless.

year following the Effective Date beginning with fiscal year 2023 and ending with fiscal year 2031 by the lesser of (a) 3% of the
total number of Shares outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year on a fully diluted basis and assuming that

year, shall be $750,000 during such fiscal year.
|
|
(e)
|
Share Counting.
The Share Pool shall be reduced by the number of Shares delivered for each Award granted
under the Plan that is valued by reference to a Share of Common Stock; provided, that
Awards that are valued by reference to Shares but are required to or may be paid in cash
pursuant to their terms shall not reduce the Share Pool. If and to the extent that Awards
terminate, expire, or are cash-settled, canceled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered without
having been exercised, vested, or settled, the Shares subject to such Awards shall again
be available for Awards under the Share Pool. In addition, any (i) Shares tendered by
Participants, or withheld by the Company, as full or partial payment to the Company upon
the exercise of Stock Options granted under the Plan; (ii) Shares reserved for issuance
upon the grant of Stock Appreciation Rights, to the extent that the number of reserved Shares
exceeds the number of Shares actually issued upon the exercise of the Stock Appreciation
Rights; and (iii) Shares withheld by, or otherwise remitted to, the Company to satisfy
a Participant’s tax withholding obligations upon the exercise of Options or SARs granted
under the Plan, or upon the lapse of restrictions on, or settlement of, an Award, shall again
be available for Awards under the Share Pool.
|
|
(f)
|
Source of Shares.
Shares delivered by the Company in settlement of Awards may be authorized and unissued Shares,
Shares held in the treasury of the Company, Shares purchased on the open market or by private
purchase, or a combination of the foregoing.
|
|
(g)
|
Substitute Awards.
The Committee may grant Awards in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards
previously granted by the Company or any Affiliate or an entity directly or indirectly acquired
by the Company or with which the Company combines (“Substitute Awards”),
and such Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available
for Awards (i.e., Substitute Awards will not be counted against the Share Pool); provided,
that Substitute Awards issued or intended as “incentive stock options” within
the meaning of Section 422 of the Code shall be counted against the aggregate number
of Incentive Stock Options available under the Plan.
|
|
(a)
|
Participation shall
be for Eligible Persons who have been selected by the Committee or its delegate to receive
grants under the Plan (each such Eligible Person, a “Participant”).
|
|
(b)
|
Holders of options and other types of awards granted by a company
acquired by the Company or with which the Company combines are eligible for grants of Substitute Awards under the Plan to the extent
permitted under applicable regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company is listed.
|
|
(a)
|
Generally. Each
Option shall be subject to the conditions set forth in the Plan and in the applicable Award
Agreement. All Options granted under the Plan shall be Nonqualified Stock Options unless
the Award Agreement expressly states otherwise. Incentive Stock Options shall be granted
only subject to and in compliance with Section 422 of the Code, and only to Eligible
Persons who are employees of the Company and its Affiliates and who are eligible to receive
an Incentive Stock Option under the Code. If for any reason an Option intended to be an Incentive
Stock Option (or any portion thereof) shall not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, then,
to the extent of such nonqualification, such Option or portion thereof shall be regarded
as a Nonqualified Stock Option properly granted under the Plan.
|
|
(b)
|
Exercise Price.
The exercise price per Share of Common Stock for each Option (that is not a Substitute Award),
which is the purchase price per Share underlying the Option, shall be determined by the Committee,
and unless otherwise determined by the Committee, or for Substitute Awards, shall not be
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Share, determined as of the date of grant.
|
|
(c)
|
Vesting, Exercise
and Expiration. The Committee shall determine the manner and timing of vesting, exercise
and expiration of Options. The period between the date of grant and the scheduled expiration
date of the Option (“Option Period”) shall not exceed ten years,
unless the Option Period (other than in the case of an Incentive Stock Option) would expire
at a time when trading in the Shares is prohibited by the Company’s insider-trading
policy or a Company-imposed “blackout period,” in which case, unless otherwise
provided by the Committee, the Option Period may be extended automatically until the 30th
day following the expiration of such prohibition (so long as such extension shall not violate
Section 409A of the Code) or the Committee may provide for the automatic exercise of
such Option prior to the expiration of the Option Period. The Committee may accelerate the
vesting and/or exercisability of any Option, which acceleration shall not affect any other
terms and conditions of such Option.
|
|
(d)
|
Method of Exercise
and Form of Payment. No Shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an
Option until the Participant has paid the exercise price to the Company in full, and an amount
equal to any applicable U.S. federal, state and local income and employment taxes and non-U.S.
income and employment taxes, social contributions and any other tax-related items required
to be withheld. Options may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise
to the Company or its designee (including a third-party administrator) in accordance with
the terms of the Option and the Award Agreement accompanied by payment of the exercise price
and such applicable taxes. The exercise price and delivery of all applicable required withholding
taxes shall be payable (i) in cash or by check, cash equivalent and/or, if permitted
by the Award Agreement and/or Committee, Shares valued at the Fair Market Value at the time
the Option is exercised or any combination of the foregoing; provided, that such Shares
are not subject to any pledge or other security interest; or (ii) by such other method
as elected by the Participant and that the Committee may permit, in its sole discretion,
including without limitation: (A) in the form of other property having a Fair Market
Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price and all applicable required withholding
taxes; (B) if permitted by the Award Agreement and/or Committee, if there is a public
market for the Shares at such time, by means of a broker-assisted “cashless exercise”
pursuant to which the Company or its designee (including third-party administrators) is delivered
a copy of irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to sell the Shares otherwise deliverable
upon the exercise of the Option and to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to
the exercise price and all applicable required withholding taxes against delivery of the
Shares to settle the applicable trade; or (C) if permitted by the Award Agreement and/or
Committee by means of a “net exercise” procedure effected by withholding the
minimum number of Shares otherwise deliverable in respect of an Option that are needed to
pay for the exercise price and all applicable required withholding taxes. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or as set forth in an Award Agreement,
if on the last day of the Option Period, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock exceeds
the exercise price, the Participant has not exercised the Option, and the Option has not
previously expired, such Option shall be deemed exercised by the Participant on such last
day by means of a “net exercise” procedure described above. In all events of
cashless or net exercise, any fractional Shares shall be settled in cash.
|
|
(e)
|
Compliance with
Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Participant be permitted to
exercise an Option in a manner that the Committee determines would violate the Sarbanes-Oxley
Act of 2002, or any other applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission or the applicable rules and regulations of any
securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation service on which the Common Stock of the Company
is listed or quoted.
|
8.

Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs).
|
|
(a)
|
Generally. Each
SAR shall be subject to the conditions set forth in the Plan and the Award Agreement.
|
|
(b)
|
Exercise Price.
The exercise or hurdle price per Share of Common Stock for each SAR shall be determined by
the Committee and, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or for Substitute Awards,
shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Share, determined as of the
date of grant.
|
|
(c)
|
Vesting and Expiration.
SARs shall vest and become exercisable and shall expire in such manner and on such date or
dates determined by the Committee and shall expire after such period, not to exceed ten years,
as may be determined by the Committee (the “SAR Period”); provided,
however, that notwithstanding any vesting or exercisability dates set by the Committee,
the Committee may accelerate the vesting and/or exercisability of any SAR, which acceleration
shall not affect the terms and conditions of such SAR other than with respect to vesting
and/or exercisability. If the SAR Period would expire at a time when trading in the Shares
is prohibited by the Company’s insider trading policy or a Company-imposed “blackout
period,” unless otherwise provided by the Committee, the SAR Period may be extended
automatically until the 30th day following the expiration of such prohibition (so long as
such extension shall not violate Section 409A of the Code).
|
|
(d)
|
Method of Exercise.
SARs may be exercised by delivery of written or electronic notice of exercise to the Company
or its designee (including a third-party administrator) in accordance with the terms of the
Award, specifying the number of SARs to be exercised and the date on which such SARs were
awarded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or as
set forth in an Award Agreement, if on the last day of the SAR Period, the Fair Market Value
exceeds the exercise price, the Participant has not exercised the SAR, and the SAR has previously
expired, such SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised by the Participant on such last
day and the Company shall make the appropriate payment therefor.
|
|
(e)
|
Payment. Upon
the exercise of a SAR, the Company shall pay to the holder thereof an amount equal to the
number of Shares subject to the SAR that are being exercised multiplied by the excess, if
any, of the Fair Market Value of one Share of Common Stock on the exercise date over the
exercise price, less an amount equal to any applicable U.S. federal, state and local income
and employment taxes and non-U.S. income and employment taxes, social contributions and any
other tax-related items required to be withheld. The Company shall pay such amount in cash,
in Shares valued at Fair Market Value as determined on the date of exercise, or any combination
thereof, as determined by the Committee. Any fractional Shares shall be settled in cash.
|
9.
|
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.
|
|
(a)
|
Generally. Each
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be subject to the conditions set forth
in the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement. The Committee shall establish restrictions
applicable to Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, including the period over which
the restrictions shall apply (the “Restricted Period”), and the time or
times at which Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall become vested (which, for
the avoidance of doubt, may include service- and/or performance-based vesting conditions).
The Committee may accelerate the vesting and/or the lapse of any or all of the restrictions
on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units which acceleration shall not affect any other
terms and conditions of such Awards. No Share of Common Stock shall be issued at the time
an Award of Restricted Stock Units is made, and the Company will not be required to set aside
a fund for the payment of any such Award.
|
|

conditions as the Committee may impose from time to time, an Eligible Person who is a non-employee
or unaffiliated Director may elect to receive all or a portion of such Eligible Person’s
cash director fees and other cash director compensation payable for director services provided
to the Company by such Eligible Person in any fiscal year, in whole or in part, in the form
of Restricted Stock Units or Shares, which shall not count against the Share Pool.
|
|
(c)
|
Stock Certificates; Escrow or Similar Arrangement. Upon the grant of Restricted Stock, the Committee shall cause Share(s) of
Common Stock to be registered in the name of the Participant, which may be evidenced in any manner the Committee may deem appropriate,
including in book-entry form subject to the Company’s directions or the issuance of a stock certificate registered in the name
of the Participant. In such event, the Committee may provide that such certificates shall be held by the Company or in escrow rather
than delivered to the Participant pending vesting and release of restrictions, in which case the Committee may require the Participant
to execute and deliver to the Company or its designee (including third-party administrators) (i) an escrow agreement satisfactory
to the Committee, if applicable, and (ii) the appropriate stock power (endorsed in blank) with respect to the Restricted Stock.
Subject to the restrictions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant generally shall have the rights and privileges
of a stockholder with respect to Awards of Restricted Stock, including the right to vote such Shares of Restricted Stock and the right
to receive dividends. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee or in an Award Agreement, an RSU shall not convey to the Participant
the rights and privileges of a stockholder with respect to the Share subject to the RSU, such as the right to vote or the right to
receive dividends, unless and until a Share is issued to the Participant to settle the RSU.
|
|
(d)
|
Restrictions; Forfeiture.
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units awarded to the Participant shall be subject
to forfeiture until the expiration of the Restricted Period and the attainment of any other
vesting criteria established by the Committee, and shall be subject to the restrictions on
transferability set forth in the Award Agreement. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee,
in the event of any forfeiture, all rights of the Participant to such Restricted Stock (or
as a stockholder with respect thereto), and to such Restricted Stock Units, as applicable,
shall terminate without further action or obligation on the part of the Company. The Committee
shall have the authority to remove any or all of the restrictions on the Restricted Stock
and Restricted Stock Units whenever it may determine that, by reason of changes in applicable
laws or other changes in circumstances arising after the date of grant of the Restricted
Stock Award or Restricted Stock Unit Award, such action is appropriate.
|
|
(e)
|
Delivery of Restricted
Stock and Settlement of Restricted Stock Units.
|
|
(i)
|
Upon the expiration of the Restricted Period with respect to any Shares
of Restricted Stock and the attainment of any other vesting criteria, the restrictions set forth in the applicable Award Agreement shall
be of no further force or effect, except as set forth in the Award Agreement. If an escrow arrangement is used, upon such expiration the
Company shall deliver to the Participant or such Participant’s beneficiary or Permitted Transferee (via book-entry notation or,
if applicable, in stock certificate form) the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which the Restricted Period has expired (rounded
down to the nearest full Share).
|
|
(ii)
|
Unless otherwise provided
by the Committee in an Award Agreement, upon the expiration of the Restricted Period and
the attainment of any other vesting criteria established by the Committee, with respect to
any outstanding Restricted Stock Units, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or
such Participant’s beneficiary (via book-entry notation or, if applicable, in stock
certificate form), one Share of Common Stock (or other securities or other property, as applicable)
for each such outstanding Restricted Stock Unit that has not then been forfeited and with
respect to which the Restricted Period has expired and any other such vesting criteria are
attained (“Released Unit”); provided, however, that the
Committee may elect to (A) pay cash or part cash and part Common Stock in lieu of delivering
only Shares in respect of such Released Units or (B) defer the delivery of Common Stock
(or cash or part Common Stock and part cash, as the case may be) beyond the expiration of
the Restricted Period if such extension would not cause adverse tax consequences under Section 409A
of the Code. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering Shares, the amount of such payment
shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date on which the Shares
would have otherwise been delivered to the Participant in respect of such Restricted Stock
Units.
|
|
(f)
|
Legends on Restricted
Stock. Each certificate representing Shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan,
if any, shall bear as appropriate a legend substantially in the form of the following in
addition to any other information the Company deems appropriate until the lapse of all restrictions
with respect to such Common Stock:
|
TRANSFER OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES REPRESENTED
HEREBY IS RESTRICTED PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE RESERVOIR HOLDINGS, INC. 2021 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN AND A RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD
AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF                 ,
BETWEEN RESERVOIR HOLDINGS, INC. AND                 .
A COPY OF SUCH PLAN AND AWARD AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF RESERVOIR HOLDINGS, INC.
10.
|
Other Stock-Based Awards and Other Cash-Based
Awards. The Committee may issue unrestricted Common Stock, rights to receive future
grants of Awards, or other Awards denominated in Common Stock (including performance shares
or performance units), or Awards that provide for cash payments based in whole or in
part on the value or future value of Shares (“Other Stock-Based Awards”)
and Other Cash-Based Awards under the Plan to Eligible Persons, alone or in tandem with other
Awards, in such amounts as the Committee shall from time to time determine. Each Other Stock-Based
Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement, which may include conditions including, without
limitation, the payment by the Participant of the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the
date of grant. Each Other Cash-Based Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced in such
form as the Committee may determine from time to time.
|
11.
|
Changes in Capital Structure and Similar
Events. In the event of (a) any dividend (other than regular cash dividends)
or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property),
recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, amalgamation,
consolidation, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares
or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire Shares
or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event (including,
without limitation, a Change in Control) that affects the Shares, or (b) unusual or
nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, a Change in Control) affecting the Company,
any Affiliate, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or changes in
applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or
securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation service, accounting principles or law, such
that in any case an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate,
then the Committee shall (other than with respect to Other Cash-Based Awards), to the extent
permitted under Section 409A of the Code, make any such adjustments in such manner as
it may deem equitable, including without limitation any or all of the following:
|
|
(i)
|
adjusting any or all of (A) the number of Shares or other
securities of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) that may be delivered in respect of Awards or with
respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (including, without limitation, adjusting any or all of the limitations under Section 5
of the Plan) and (B) the terms of any outstanding Award, including, without limitation, (1) the number of Shares or other securities
of the Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) subject to outstanding Awards or to which outstanding Awards
relate, (2) the exercise price with respect to any Award and/or (3) any applicable performance measures (including, without
limitation, Performance Conditions and performance periods);
|
|
(ii)
|
providing for a substitution or assumption of Awards (or awards
of an acquiring company), accelerating the delivery, vesting and/or exercisability of, lapse of restrictions and/or other conditions
on, or termination of, Awards or providing for a period of time (which shall not be required to be more than ten (10) days) for
Participants to exercise outstanding Awards prior to the occurrence of such event (and any such Award not so exercised shall terminate
or become no longer exercisable upon the occurrence of such event); and
|
|
(iii)
|
cancelling any one or more outstanding Awards (or awards of
an acquiring company) and causing to be paid to the holders thereof, in cash, Shares, other securities or other property, or any combination
thereof, the value of such Awards, if any, as determined by the Committee (which if applicable may be based upon the price per Share
of Common Stock received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in such event), including without limitation, in the
case of an outstanding Option or SAR, a cash payment in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value (as of a date
specified by the Committee) of the Shares subject to such Option or SAR over the aggregate exercise price of such Option or SAR, respectively
(it being understood that, in such event, any Option or SAR having a per-Share exercise
price equal to, or in excess of, the Fair Market Value (as of the date specified by the Committee) of a Share of Common Stock subject
thereto may be canceled and terminated without any payment or consideration therefor);
|
provided, however, that the Committee shall
make an equitable or proportionate adjustment to outstanding Awards to reflect any “equity restructuring” (within
the meaning of the Financial Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (or any successor pronouncement thereto)). Except as otherwise
determined by the Committee, any adjustment in Incentive Stock Options under this Section 11 (other than any cancellation of Incentive
Stock Options) shall be made only to the extent not constituting a “modification” within the meaning of Section 424(h)(3) of
the Code, and any adjustments under this Section 11 shall be made in a manner that does not adversely affect the exemption provided
pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Any such adjustment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.
In anticipation of the occurrence of any event listed in the first sentence of this Section 11, for reasons of administrative convenience,
the Committee in its sole discretion may refuse to permit the exercise of any Award or as it otherwise may determine during a period
of up to 30 days prior to, and/or up to 30 days after, the anticipated occurrence of any such event.
12.
|
Effect of Termination of Service or a
Change in Control on Awards.
|
|
(a)
|
Termination. To
the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, the Committee may provide, by rule or
regulation or in any applicable Award Agreement, or may determine in any individual case,
the circumstances in which, and to the extent to which, an Award may be exercised, settled,
vested, paid or forfeited in the event of the Participant’s termination of service
prior to the end of a performance period or vesting, exercise or settlement of such Award.
|
|
(b)
|
Change in Control.
In the event of a Change in Control, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary,
the Committee may provide for: (i) continuation or assumption of such outstanding Awards
under the Plan by the Company (if it is the surviving corporation) or by the surviving corporation
or its parent; (ii) substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of awards
with substantially the same terms and value for such outstanding Awards (in the case of an
Option or SAR, the Intrinsic Value at grant of such Substitute Award shall equal the Intrinsic
Value of the Award); (iii) acceleration of the vesting (including the lapse of any restrictions,
with any performance criteria or other performance conditions deemed met at target) or right
to exercise such outstanding Awards immediately prior to or as of the date of the Change
in Control, and the expiration of such outstanding Awards to the extent not timely exercised
by the date of the Change in Control or other date thereafter designated by the Committee;
or (iv) in the case of an Option or SAR, cancelation in consideration of a payment in
cash or other consideration to the Participant who holds such Award in an amount equal to
the Intrinsic Value of such Award (which may be equal to but not less than zero), which,
if in excess of zero, shall be payable upon the effective date of such Change in Control.
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee may, in its
sole discretion, terminate any Option or SARs for which the exercise or hurdle price is equal
to or exceeds the per Share value of the consideration to be paid in the Change in Control
transaction without payment of consideration therefor.
|
13.
|
Deferred Awards. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to Participants
Deferred Awards, which may be a right to receive Shares or cash under the Plan (either independently or as an element of or supplement
to any other Award under the Plan), including, as may be required by any applicable law or regulations or determined by the Committee,
in lieu of any annual bonus, commission or retainer that may be payable to a Participant under any applicable, bonus, commission or
retainer plan or arrangement. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Deferred Awards, including, without limitation,
the method of converting the amount of annual bonus into a Deferred Award, if applicable, and the form, vesting, settlement, forfeiture
and cancellation provisions or any other criteria, if any, applicable to such Deferred Awards. Shares underlying a Share-denominated
Deferred Award, which is subject to a vesting schedule or other conditions or criteria, including forfeiture or cancellation provisions,
set by the Committee shall not be issued until or following the date that those conditions and criteria have been satisfied. Deferred
Awards shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including any limitation on the right to vote a Share underlying
a Deferred Award or the right to receive any dividend, dividend equivalent or other right), which restrictions may lapse separately
or in combination at such time or times, in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may deem appropriate. The Committee may
determine the form or forms (including cash, Shares, other Awards, other property or any combination thereof) in which payment of the
amount owing upon settlement of any Deferred Award may be made.
|
14.
|
Amendments and Termination.
|
|
(a)
|
Amendment and Termination
of the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan
or any portion thereof at any time; provided, that no such amendment, alteration,
suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without stockholder approval if
such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement applicable to
the Plan (including, without limitation, as necessary to comply with any applicable rules or
requirements of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation service on which the Shares
may be listed or quoted, for changes in GAAP to new accounting standards); provided,
further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination
that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or
beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without
the consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary, unless the Committee determines
that such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination is either required
or advisable in order for the Company, the Plan or the Award to satisfy any applicable law
or regulation.
|
|
(b)
|
Amendment of Award
Agreements. The Committee may, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of any applicable
Award Agreement or the Plan, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or
alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore granted or the associated
Award Agreement, prospectively or retroactively (including after the Participant’s
termination of employment or service with the Company); provided, that any such waiver,
amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would
materially and adversely affect the rights of any Participant with respect to any Award theretofore
granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant
unless the Committee determines that such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance,
cancellation or termination is either required or advisable in order for the Company, the
Plan or the Award to satisfy any applicable law or regulation; provided, further,
that the Committee may, without stockholder approval, (i) reduce the exercise price
of any Option or SAR, (ii) cancel any outstanding Option or SAR and replace it with
a new Option or SAR (with a lower exercise price) or other Award or cash, (iii) take
any other action that is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder
approval rules of the applicable securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation service
on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted, and/or (iv) cancel any outstanding Option
or SAR that has a per-Share exercise price (as applicable) at or above the Fair Market Value
of a Share of Common Stock on the date of cancellation, and pay any consideration to the
holder thereof, whether in cash, securities, or other property, or any combination thereof.
|
|
(a)
|
Award Agreements; Other
Agreements. Each Award (other than an Other Cash-Based Award) under the Plan shall be
evidenced by an Award Agreement, which shall be delivered to the Participant and shall specify
the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto. In the event
of any conflict between the terms of the Plan and any Award Agreement or employment, change-in-control,
severance or other agreement in effect with the Participant, the terms of the Plan shall
control.
|
|
(i)
|
Each Award shall be exercisable
only by the Participant during the Participant’s lifetime, or, if permissible under
applicable law or the Plan, by the Participant’s legal guardian or representative or
beneficiary or Permitted Transferee. No Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached,
sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by the Participant other than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution or as set forth below in clause (ii), and any such purported
assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and
unenforceable against the Company or an Affiliate; provided, that the designation
of a beneficiary shall not constitute an assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale,
transfer or encumbrance.
|
|
(ii)
|
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Committee may permit Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) to be transferred
by the Participant, without consideration, subject to such rules as the Committee may
adopt, to (A) any person who is a “family member” of the Participant, as
such term is used in the instructions to Form S-8 under the Securities Act or any successor
form of registration statements promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively,
the “Immediate Family Members”); (B) a trust solely for the benefit
of the Participant or the Participant’s Immediate Family Members; (C) a partnership
or limited liability company whose only partners or stockholders are the Participant and
the Participant’s Immediate Family Members; (D) a bank or third party pursuant
to an Award Transfer Program; or (E) any other transferee as may be approved either
(1) by the Board or the Committee, or (2) as provided in the applicable Award Agreement;
(each transferee described in clause (A), (B), (C) or (D) above is hereinafter
referred to as a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, that the Participant
gives the Committee or its delegate advance written notice describing the terms and conditions
of the proposed transfer and the Committee or its delegate notifies the Participant in writing
that such a transfer would comply with the requirements of the Plan.
|
|
(iii)
|
The terms of any Award transferred in accordance with the immediately
preceding paragraph shall apply to the Permitted Transferee, and any reference in the Plan, or in any applicable Award Agreement, to
the Participant shall be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee, except that, as otherwise provided by the Committee, (A) Permitted
Transferees shall not be entitled to transfer any Award, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (B) Permitted
Transferees shall not be entitled to exercise any transferred Option unless there shall be in effect a registration statement on an appropriate
form covering the Shares to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Option if the Committee determines, consistent with any applicable
Award Agreement, that such a registration statement is necessary or appropriate; (C) the Committee or the Company shall not be required
to provide any notice to a Permitted Transferee, whether or not such notice is or would otherwise have been required to be given to the
Participant under the Plan or otherwise; (D) the consequences of the termination of the Participant’s employment by, or services
to, the Company or an Affiliate under the terms of the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement shall continue to be applied with respect
to the transferred Award, including, without limitation, that an Option shall be exercisable by the Permitted Transferee only to the
extent, and for the periods, specified in the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement; and (E) any non-competition, non-solicitation,
non-disparagement, non-disclosure, or other restrictive covenants contained in any Award Agreement or other agreement between the Participant
and the Company or any Affiliate shall continue to apply to the Participant.
|
|
(c)
|
Dividends and Dividend
Equivalents. The Committee may specify in the applicable Award Agreement that any or
all dividends, dividend equivalents or other distributions, as applicable, paid on Awards
prior to vesting or settlement, as applicable, be paid either in cash or in additional Shares
and either on a current or deferred basis and that such dividends, dividend equivalents or
other distributions may be reinvested in additional Shares, which may be subject to the same
restrictions as the underlying Awards.
|
|
(i)
|
The Participant shall be required to pay to the Company or any
Affiliate, and the Company or any Affiliate shall have the right (but not the obligation) and is hereby authorized to withhold, from
any cash, Shares, other securities or other property deliverable under any Award or from any compensation or other amounts owing to the
Participant, the amount (in cash, Common Stock, other securities or other property) of any required withholding taxes (up to the maximum permissible withholding amounts) in respect
of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action that the Committee
or the Company deem necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such withholding taxes.
|
|
(ii)
|
Without limiting the generality of paragraph (i) above,
the Committee may permit the Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, the foregoing withholding liability by (A) payment in
cash, (B) the delivery of Shares (which Shares are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) owned by the Participant
having a Fair Market Value on such date equal to such withholding liability or (C) having the Company withhold from the number of
Shares otherwise issuable or deliverable pursuant to the exercise or settlement of the Award a number of Shares with a Fair Market Value
on such date equal to such withholding liability. In addition, subject to any requirements of applicable law, the Participant may also
satisfy the tax withholding obligations by other methods, including selling Shares that would otherwise be available for delivery, provided,
that the Board or the Committee has specifically approved such payment method in advance.
|
|
(e)
|
No
Claim to Awards; No Rights to Continued Employment, Directorship or Engagement.
No employee, Director of the Company, consultant providing service to the Company or an Affiliate,
or other person, shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award under the Plan or,
having been selected for the grant of an Award, to be selected for a grant of any other Award.
There is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries
of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards and the Committee’s determinations and
interpretations with respect thereto need not be the same with respect to each Participant
and may be made selectively among Participants, whether or not such Participants are similarly
situated. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any
Participant any right to be retained in the employ or service of the Company or an Affiliate,
or to continue in the employ or the service of the Company or an Affiliate, nor shall it
be construed as giving any Participant who is a Director any rights to continued service
on the Board.
|
|
(f)
|
International Participants.
With respect to Participants who reside or work outside of the United States or are subject
to non-U.S. legal restrictions or regulations, the Committee may amend the terms of the Plan
or appendices thereto, or outstanding Awards, with respect to such Participants, in order
to conform such terms with or accommodate the requirements of local laws, procedures or practices
or to obtain more favorable tax or other treatment for the Participant, the Company or its
Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of this subsection, the Committee is specifically
authorized to adopt rules, procedures and sub-plans with provisions that limit or modify
rights on death, disability, retirement or other terminations of employment, available methods
of exercise or settlement of an Award, payment of income, social insurance contributions
or payroll taxes, withholding procedures and handling of any stock certificates or other
indicia of ownership that vary with local requirements. The Committee may also adopt rules,
procedures or sub-plans applicable to particular Affiliates or locations.
|
|
(g)
|
Beneficiary Designation.
The Participant’s beneficiary shall be the Participant’s spouse (or domestic
partner if such status is recognized by the Company and in such jurisdiction), or if the
Participant is otherwise unmarried at the time of death, the Participant’s estate,
except to the extent that a different beneficiary is designated in accordance with procedures
that may be established by the Committee from time to time for such purpose. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under such Committee-established
procedures and/or applicable law who is living (or in existence) at the time of death of
a Participant residing or working outside the United States, any required distribution under
the Plan shall be made to the executor or administrator of the estate of the Participant,
or to such other individual as may be prescribed by applicable law.
|
|
(h)
|
Termination of Employment
or Service. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the effect of all
matters and questions related to the termination of employment of or service of a Participant.
Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, or any employment, consulting, change-in-control,
severance or other agreement between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, unless
determined otherwise by the Committee: (i) neither a temporary absence from employment
or service due to illness, vacation or leave of absence (including, without limitation, a
call to active duty for military service through a Reserve or National Guard unit) nor a
transfer from employment or service with the Company to employment or service with an Affiliate
(or vice versa) shall be considered a termination of employment or service with the Company
or an Affiliate; and (ii) if the Participant’s employment with the Company or
its Affiliates terminates, but such Participant continues to provide services with the Company
or its Affiliates in a non-employee capacity (including as a non-employee Director) (or vice
versa), such change in status shall not be considered a termination of employment or service
with the Company or an Affiliate for purposes of the Plan.
|
|
(i)
|
No Rights as a Stockholder.
Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or any Award Agreement, no person shall
be entitled to the privileges of ownership in respect of Shares that are subject to Awards
hereunder until such Shares have been issued or delivered to that person.
|
|
(j)
|
Government and Other
Regulations.
|
|
(i)
|
Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to authorize the Committee
or Board or any members thereof to take any action contrary to applicable law or regulation, or rules of the NASDAQ or any other
securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation service on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted.
|
|
(ii)
|
The obligation of the Company to settle Awards in Common Stock
or other consideration shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by governmental agencies
as may be required. Notwithstanding any terms or conditions of any Award to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to
offer to sell or to sell, and shall be prohibited from offering to sell or selling, any Shares pursuant to an Award unless such Shares
have been properly registered for sale pursuant to the Securities Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission or unless the Company
has received an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such Shares may be offered or sold without such registration pursuant
to and in compliance with the terms of an available exemption. The Company shall be under no obligation to register for sale under the
Securities Act any of the Shares to be offered or sold under the Plan. The Committee shall have the authority to provide that all Shares
or other securities of the Company or any Affiliate delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other
restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement, U.S. federal securities laws, or the
rules, regulations and other requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation
service upon which such Shares or other securities of the Company are then listed or quoted and any other applicable federal, state,
local or non-U.S. laws, rules, regulations and other requirements, and, without limiting the generality of Section 9 of the Plan,
the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or
any Affiliate delivered under the Plan to make appropriate reference to such restrictions or may cause such Common Stock or other securities
of the Company or any Affiliate delivered under the Plan in book-entry form to be held subject to the Company’s instructions or
subject to appropriate stop-transfer orders. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Committee reserves the right
to add any additional terms or provisions to any Award granted under the Plan that it in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable
in order that such Award complies with the legal requirements of any governmental entity to whose jurisdiction the Award is subject.
|
|
(iii)
|
The Committee may cancel an Award or any portion thereof if
it determines that legal or contractual restrictions and/or blockage and/or other market considerations would make the Company’s
acquisition of Shares from the public markets, the Company’s issuance of Common Stock to the Participant, the Participant’s
acquisition of Common Stock from the Company and/or the Participant’s sale of Common Stock to the public markets illegal, impracticable
or inadvisable. If the Committee determines to cancel all or any portion of an Award in accordance with the foregoing, unless prevented
by applicable laws, the Company shall pay to the Participant an amount equal to the excess of (A) the
aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such Award or portion thereof canceled (determined as of the applicable exercise
date, or the date that the Shares would have been vested or delivered, as applicable), over (B) the aggregate exercise price (in
the case of an Option or SAR, respectively) or any amount payable as a condition of delivery of Shares (in the case of any other Award).
Such amount shall be delivered to the Participant as soon as practicable following the cancellation of such Award or portion thereof.
|
|
(k)
|
Payments to Persons
Other Than Participants. If the Committee shall find that any person to whom any amount
is payable under the Plan is unable to care for such person’s affairs because of illness
or accident, or is a minor, or has died, then any payment due to such person or such person’s
estate (unless a prior claim therefor has been made by a duly appointed legal representative
or a beneficiary designation form has been filed with the Company) may, if the Committee
so directs the Company, be paid to such person’s spouse, child, or relative, or an
institution maintaining or having custody of such person, or any other person deemed by the
Committee to be a proper recipient on behalf of such person otherwise entitled to payment.
Any such payment shall be a complete discharge of the liability of the Committee and the
Company therefor.
|
|
(l)
|
Nonexclusivity of
the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan
to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations
on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable,
including, without limitation, the granting of stock options or awards otherwise than under
the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only in specific cases.
|
|
(m)
|
No Trust or Fund Created.
Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate
fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Affiliate, on the
one hand, and the Participant or other person or entity, on the other hand. No provision
of the Plan or any Award shall require the Company, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations
under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which
contributions are made or to otherwise segregate any assets, nor shall the Company maintain
separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated
or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have
no rights under the Plan other than as unsecured general creditors of the Company.
|
|
(n)
|
Reliance on Reports.
Each member of the Committee and each member of the Board (and each such member’s respective
designees) shall be fully justified in acting or failing to act, as the case may be, and
shall not be liable for having so acted or failed to act in good faith, in reliance upon
any report made by the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company and its
Affiliates and/or any other information furnished in connection with the Plan by any agent
of the Company or the Committee or the Board, other than such member or designee.
|
|
(o)
|
Relationship to
Other Benefits. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining
any benefits under any pension, retirement, profit sharing, group insurance or other benefit
plan of the Company except as otherwise specifically provided in such other plan.
|
|
(p)
|
Governing Law.
The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware,
without regard to principles of conflicts of laws thereof, or principles of conflicts of
laws of any other jurisdiction that could cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction
other than the State of Delaware.
|
|
(q)
|
Severability.
If any provision of the Plan or any Award or Award Agreement is or becomes or is deemed to
be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any person or entity or
Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee,
such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or
if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee,
materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be construed
or deemed stricken as to such jurisdiction, person or entity or Award, and the remainder
of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.
|
|
(r)
|
Obligations Binding
on Successors. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be binding upon any
successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or other reorganization
of the Company, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to all or substantially
all of the assets and business of the Company.
|
|
(s)
|
Section 409A
of the Code.
|
|
(i)
|
It is intended that the Plan comply with Section 409A of
the Code, and all provisions of the Plan shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding
taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Each Participant is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all
taxes and penalties that may be imposed on or in respect of such Participant in connection with the Plan or any other plan maintained
by the Company, including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code, and neither the Company nor any Affiliate shall
have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold such Participant or any beneficiary harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.
With respect to any Award that is considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code, references
in the Plan to “termination of employment”(and substantially similar phrases) shall mean
“separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code,
each of the payments that may be made in respect of any Award granted under the Plan is designated as a separate payment.
|
|
(ii)
|
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, if the
Participant is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, no payments or
deliveries in respect of any Awards that are “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made
to such Participant prior to the date that is six months after the date of such Participant’s “separation from service”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code or, if earlier, the Participant’s date of death. All such delayed payments
or deliveries will be paid or delivered (without interest) in a single lump sum on the earliest date permitted under Section 409A
of the Code that is also a business day.
|
|
(iii)
|
In the event that the timing of payments in respect of any Award
that would otherwise be considered “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code would be accelerated
upon the occurrence of (A) a Change in Control, no such acceleration shall be permitted unless the event giving rise to the Change
in Control satisfies the definition of a change in the ownership or effective control of a corporation, or a change in the ownership
of a substantial portion of the assets of a corporation pursuant to Section 409A of the Code and any Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder or (B) a Disability, no such acceleration shall be permitted unless the Disability also satisfies the definition of “disability”
pursuant to Section 409A of the Code and any Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
|
|
(t)
|
Clawback/Forfeiture.
The Committee shall have full authority to implement any policies and procedures necessary
to comply with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and any rules promulgated thereunder
and any other regulatory regimes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the Committee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law and stock exchange rules or
by any applicable Company policy or arrangement, and shall, to the extent required, cancel
or require reimbursement of any Awards granted to the Participant or any Shares issued or
cash received upon vesting, exercise or settlement of any such Awards or sale of Shares underlying
such Awards. By accepting an Award, the Participant agrees that the Participant is subject
to any clawback policies of the Company in effect from time to time.
|
|
(u)
|
No Representations
or Covenants With Respect to Tax Qualification. Although the Company may endeavor to
(i) qualify an Award for favorable U.S. or non-U.S. tax treatment or (ii) avoid
adverse tax treatment, the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows
any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax treatment. The Company shall
be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax
impact on holders of Awards under the Plan.
|
|
(v)
|
No Interference.
The existence of the Plan, any Award Agreement, and the Awards granted hereunder shall not
affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company, the Board, the Committee,
or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization,
reorganization, or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business,
any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, warrants, or
rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, or preferred or prior preference stocks
whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the rights thereof or that are
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company or any Affiliate, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of their assets or business,
or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.
|
|
(w)
|
Expenses; Titles
and Headings. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and
its Affiliates. The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of
reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such
titles or headings shall control.
|
|
(x)
|
Whistleblower Acknowledgments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Plan or any Award Agreement
will (i) prohibit a Participant from making reports of possible violations of federal
law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity in accordance with the provisions
of and rules promulgated under Section 21F of the Exchange Act or Section 806
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or of any other whistleblower protection provisions of
federal law or regulation, or (ii) require prior approval by the Company or any of its
Affiliates of any reporting described in clause (i).
|
|
(y)
|
Lock-Up Agreements.
The Committee may require a Participant receiving Shares pursuant to the Plan, as a condition
precedent to receipt of such Shares, to enter into a shareholder agreement or “lock-up”
agreement in such form as the Committee shall determine is necessary or desirable to further
the Company’s interests.
|
|
(z)
|
Restrictive Covenants.
The Committee may impose restrictions on any Award with respect to non-competition, confidentiality
and other restrictive covenants as it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Capitalized terms used but
not defined below have the meanings ascribed to such terms in this Current Report on Form 8-K. References to the “Combined
Company” mean Reservoir Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries following the consummation of
the Business Combination.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information presents the combination of the financial information of Reservoir Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Reservoir
Holdings”), and Roth CH Acquisition II Co., a Delaware corporation (“ROCC”), adjusted to give
effect to the consummation of the Business Combination and related transactions. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release 33-10786
“Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.”
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 combines the historical balance sheet of Reservoir Holdings and the historical balance sheet
of ROCC on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment had been consummated on March 31, 2021. The unaudited
pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020
combine the derived historical results of operations of Reservoir Holdings and historical statements of operations of ROCC for such periods
on a pro forma basis as if the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment had been consummated on January 1, 2020, the beginning of
the earliest period presented.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial statements have been prepared from and should be read in conjunction with:
|
·
|
the
accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements;
|
|
·
|
the
historical audited consolidated financial statements of Reservoir Holdings as of and for
the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and the related notes;
|
|
·
|
the
historical unaudited condensed financial statements of ROCC as of and for the three months
ended March 31, 2021 and the related notes;
|
|
·
|
the
historical audited financial statements of ROCC as of and for the year ended December 31,
2020 and the related notes; and
|
|
·
|
other
information relating to Reservoir Holdings and ROCC contained elsewhere in, or incorporated
by reference into, this current report on Form 8-K;
|
Pursuant to the ROCC’s
amended and restated certificate of incorporation, ROCC provided the holders of the shares of the ROCC Common Stock acquired in ROCC’s
initial public offering consummated in December 2020 (the “Public Shares”) with the opportunity to have their
Public Shares redeemed at the consummation of the Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the trust account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including
interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of the then outstanding Public Shares, subject to certain
limitations.
Notwithstanding
the legal form of the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse
recapitalization in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).
Under this method of accounting, Reservoir Holdings is treated as the acquirer and ROCC is treated as the acquired company for financial
statement reporting purposes. Reservoir Holdings was determined to be the accounting acquirer primarily based on the fact, that subsequent
to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Reservoir Holdings stockholders will have a majority of the voting power of the
Combined Company, Reservoir Holdings will comprise all of the ongoing operations of the Combined Company, Reservoir Holdings will control
a majority of the governing body of the Combined Company, and Reservoir Holdings’ senior management will comprise all of
the senior management of the Combined Company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information below reflects the 10,295,452 Public Shares of the outstanding ROCC Common Stock that were redeemed in
connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, resulting in an aggregate payment of $102.97 million out of the trust account,
at a redemption price of approximately $10.00 per Public Share.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations
and financial position would have been had the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment taken place on the dates indicated, nor are
they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Combined Company.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.
Description of the Business Combination
ROCC,
Roth CH II Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Reservoir Holdings entered
into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of April 14, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to
which Merger Sub merged with and into Reservoir Holdings, with Reservoir Holdings surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
ROCC and the securityholders of Reservoir Holdings becoming securityholders of ROCC (the “Business
Combination”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Roth CH Acquisition II, Co. was
renamed Reservoir Media, Inc.
Immediately prior to the effective
time of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”), each share of Series A preferred stock, par value
$0.00001 per share, of Reservoir Holdings (the “Reservoir Preferred Stock”) that was issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically converted immediately prior to the Effective Time into a number of shares of
common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Reservoir Holdings (the “Reservoir Holdings Common Stock”) at
the then-effective conversion rate as calculated pursuant to Reservoir Holdings’ second amended and restated certificate of incorporation
then in effect (the “Reservoir Holdings Preferred Stock Conversion”). All of the shares of the Reservoir Holdings
Preferred Stock converted into shares of Reservoir Holdings Common Stock pursuant to the Reservoir Holdings Preferred Stock Conversion
are no longer be outstanding and ceased to exist, and each holder of Reservoir Holdings Preferred Stock thereafter ceased to have any
rights with respect to such shares of Reservoir Holdings Preferred Stock.
Immediately following the consummation
of the Business Combination, the Reservoir Holdings stockholders are expected to own approximately 69.8% of the Combined Company (as
per the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination,
the Reservoir Holdings stockholders will receive the RMI Common Stock. The Reservoir Holdings stockholders will own the majority of the
outstanding shares of the RMI Common Stock, on an as-exchanged basis and the owner of the majority of the voting shares of the Combined
Company following the consummation of the Business Combination is determined to be the Reservoir Holdings stockholders.
The shares of the ROCC Common
Stock issued in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination were issued to the Reservoir Holdings stockholders. As noted
above, the Reservoir Holdings stockholders are expected to have been issued approximately 69.8% of the RMI Common Stock, on an as exchanged
basis, which would constitute a majority interest in the Combined Company following the consummation of the Business Combination.
Subsequent to the consummation
of the Business Combination, the board of directors of the Combined Company is comprised of nine members, of which ROCC initially appointed
one member, and Reservoir Holdings initially appointed eight members.
In connection with the execution
of the Merger Agreement, ROCC entered into the subscription agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which such investors have
agreed to purchase an aggregate of 15,000,000 shares of the ROCC Common Stock in a private placement transaction at a price of $10.00
per share for an aggregate commitment of $150.0 million. The closing of the PIPE Investment took place concurrently with the consummation
of the Business Combination.
2.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information was prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release
No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 replaces
the existing pro forma adjustment criteria with simplified requirements to depict the accounting for the transaction (the “Transaction
Accounting Adjustments”) and present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred
or are reasonably expected to occur (the “Management’s Adjustments”). The selected unaudited pro forma
condensed combined financial information presents the Transaction Accounting Adjustments, but does not present the Management’s
Adjustments. The Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the selected unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have
been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the Combined Company following the consummation
of the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on March
31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year
ended December 31, 2020 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2020, the beginning
of the earliest period presented.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information reflects the 10,295,452 Public Shares of the outstanding ROCC Common Stock that were redeemed in connection
with the consummation of the Business Combination, resulting in an aggregate payment of $102.97 million out of the trust account, at
a redemption price of approximately $10.00 per share.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction
with, the following:

Management has made significant
estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information
presented.
The pro forma adjustments reflecting
the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies
that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in
the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the
actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. Management believes
that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination
based on information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions
and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have
been had the Business Combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations
or financial position of the post-combination company.
3.
Accounting for the Business Combination
The
Business Combination represents a reverse merger and is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this
method of accounting, ROCC is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily
based on the fact that subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Reservoir Holdings stockholders will have a majority
of the voting power of the Combined Company, Reservoir Holdings will comprise all of the ongoing operations of the Combined Company,
Reservoir Holdings will control a majority of the governing body of the Combined Company, and Reservoir Holdings’ senior
management will comprise all of the senior management of the Combined Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination
will be treated as the equivalent of Reservoir Holdings issuing shares for the net assets of ROCC, accompanied by a recapitalization.
The net assets of Reservoir Holdings will be stated at historical cost. No goodwill or other intangible assets will be recorded. Operations
following the consummation of the Business Combination will be those of Reservoir Holdings.

Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2021
Reservoir Holdings and ROCC have
not had any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate
activities between the companies.
The pro forma notes and adjustments,
based on preliminary estimates that could change materially as additional information is obtained, are as follows:
Pro Forma Notes
(A)
Derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of Reservoir Holdings as of March 31, 2021.
(B)
Derived from the unaudited condensed balance sheet of ROCC as of March 31, 2021.
Pro Forma Adjustments
|
a)
|
To
reflect the Reservoir Holdings Preferred Stock Conversion immediately prior to the consummation
of the Business Combination.
|
|
b)
|
To
reflect the exchange of existing Reservoir Holdings Common Stock for the RMI Common Stock
in accordance with the Merger Agreement.
|
|
c)
|
To
reflect the release of cash held in the trust account to Cash and Cash Equivalents, after
giving effect to the redemption of 10,295,452 shares of the outstanding ROCC Common Stock
prior to the consummation of the Business Consummation.
|
|
d)
|
To
reflect the issuance of an aggregate of 15.0 million shares of the ROCC Common Stock at $10.00
per share, less approximately $5.8 million of issuance expenses, in the PIPE Investment.
The issuance expenses of approximately $5.8 million were accrued and reflected in Additional
Paid-In Capital.
|
|
e)
|
To
reflect the refinancing of $18.5 million outstanding under the existing term loan of RMM
by increasing borrowing capacity under the Senior Credit Facility, which has closed concurrently
with the consummation of the Business Combination. The Senior Credit Facility was increased
by $18.5 million to a limit of approximately $248.8 million. Because the Senior Credit Facility
does not have required principal payments, the current portion of loans and secured notes
payable is reclassified to the Senior Credit Facility. The change in interest rate is expected
to result in an immaterial change to interest expense and is not adjusted in the pro forma
statements.
|
|
f)
|
To
reflect the payment of ROCC’s and Reservoir Holdings’ total advisory, legal and
other professional fees of approximately $13.9 million that are deemed to be direct and incremental
costs of the Business Combination. The payment of approximately $13.9 million was accrued
and reflected in Additional Paid-In Capital.
|
|
g)
|
To
reclassify the Accumulated Deficit of ROCC to Additional Paid-In Capital.

Adjustments
to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the Three Months ended
March 31, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020
|
ROCC and Reservoir Holdings did
not have any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate
activities between the companies.
The pro forma basic and diluted
earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based upon the number
of shares of the ROCC Common Stock outstanding at the consummation of the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment, assuming the
Business Combination and the PIPE Investment occurred on January 1, 2020.
The pro forma notes and adjustments,
based on preliminary estimates that could change materially as additional information is obtained, are as follows:
Pro Forma Notes
|
(A)
|
Derived
from the audited consolidated statements of operations of Reservoir Holdings for the years
ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income
of Reservoir Holdings for the nine months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
|
|
(B)
|
Derived
from the unaudited condensed statements of operations of ROCC for the three months ended
March 31, 2021 and the audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.
|
Pro Forma Adjustments
|
a)
|
To
reflect acceleration of stock-based compensation to Reservoir Holdings triggered upon consummation
of the Business Combination.
|
|
b)
|
To
reflect an adjustment to eliminate the interest earned and unrealized gain on marketable
securities held in the trust account for the benefit of the redeeming ROCC stockholders.
|
|
c)
|
As
the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the
earliest period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for pro
forma basic and diluted net income per share assumes that the shares issuable in connection
with the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment have been outstanding for the entirety
of the periods presented. If the maximum number of shares are redeemed, this calculation
is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period. Pro forma weighted
common shares outstanding—basic and diluted for the three months ended March 31, 2021
and the twelve months ended December 31, 2020—are calculated as follows:
