“Benchmark” means, initially, with respect to any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, the applicable Relevant Rate for such Agreed Currency; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event, and the related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the applicable Relevant Rate or the then-current Benchmark for such Agreed Currency, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (b) of Section 2.17.

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Company for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and/or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for syndicated credit facilities denominated in the applicable Agreed Currency at such time; provided that the Company may give due consideration to United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3 and 1.1001-6(b).

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided, that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (3) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Board of Governors, the NYFRB, the CME Term SOFR Administrator, the central bank for the Agreed Currency applicable to such Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), in each case, which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

| 8 |

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer, or as of a specified future date will no longer be, representative.

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, with respect to any Benchmark, the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.17 and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Section 2.17.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to (i) any change as a result of the adoption of any of the provisions set forth in the Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in February 2016, or any other amendments to the Accounting Standards Codifications issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in connection therewith, in each case if such change would require the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases or similar agreements that would not be classified as capital leases under GAAP as in effect prior to January 1, 2019, (ii) any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825, Financial Instruments, or any successor thereto (including pursuant to the Accounting Standards Codification), to value any Debt or other indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value”, as defined therein, (iii) any treatment of indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof, or (iv) any valuation of Debt or other indebtedness below its full stated principal amount as a result of the application of Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Interest, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, it being agreed that Debt and other indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.

If any Debt bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Debt shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the

| 36 |

entire period (taking into account any Hedge Agreement applicable to such Debt if such Hedge Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months).

The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, 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 existing interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Section 1.06 Divisions. For all purposes under this Agreement, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event 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 and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its equity interests at such time.

Section 1.07 Currency Translation. The Administrative Agent shall determine the US Dollar Equivalent of any Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency as of the date of commencement of the initial Interest Period therefor and as of the date of the commencement of each subsequent Interest Period therefor, in each case using the Exchange Rate for such currency in relation to US Dollars, and each such amount shall be the US Dollar Equivalent of such Borrowing until the next required calculation thereof pursuant to this sentence.

| 37 |

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders of each determination of the US Dollar Equivalent of each Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency.

For purposes of any determination under Sections ‎5.02(a), ‎5.02(c) and ‎6.01(i), all amounts incurred, outstanding or proposed to be incurred or outstanding in currencies other than US Dollars shall be translated into US Dollars at the Exchange Rate in effect on the date of such determination; provided that no Default or Event of Default shall arise as a result of any limitation set forth in US Dollars in Sections ‎5.02(a) or ‎5.02(c) being exceeded solely as a result of changes in the exchange rate from those rates applicable at the time or times Debt, Liens or Sale and Leaseback Transactions were initially consummated in reliance on the exceptions under such Sections. For purposes of Section ‎5.02(d), and the related definitions, amounts in currencies other than US Dollars shall be translated into US Dollars at the exchange rate then most recently used in preparing the Company’s Consolidated financial statements.

Section 2.03 [Reserved].

Section 2.04 Notice to Lenders; Funding of Loans. (a) Upon receipt of a Borrowing Request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender in writing of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s share of the requested Borrowing.

(b) Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of each Borrowing comprised of Term Benchmark Loans or, if applicable pursuant to Section 2.17, RFR Loans and before 1:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date of each Borrowing comprised of ABR Loans, make available to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds to the account most recently designated by the Administrative Agent for such purpose by written notice to the Lenders, such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing in the applicable currency. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent will promptly make such funds so received available to the applicable Borrower by wire transfer or credit in immediately available funds to the applicable Borrower’s account specified in the applicable Borrowing Request. Promptly after each Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall record each Loan comprising such Borrowing and the terms related thereto.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative

| 39 |

Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance herewith and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender (or, if such Lender fails to pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon such demand, from the applicable Borrower, which, if such Lender has wrongfully refused to make such corresponding amount available, shall, without limiting any other right of such Borrower against such Lender, in turn be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender to the extent such Borrower has paid such amount to the Administrative Agent) together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available by the Administrative Agent until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, (A) if denominated in US Dollars, the greater of (x) the NYFRB Rate and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) if denominated in any other currency, the greater of (x) the interest rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to reflect its cost of funds for the amount advanced by such Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing; provided, however, that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(d) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable (i) in arrears quarterly on the fifteenth day following the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing with October 15, 2023, (ii) on the Commitment Termination Date and (iii) in the event of the termination in whole of the Commitment of any Lender and with respect to such Commitment, on the date of such termination.

From and after the Increase Effective Date specified in any Incremental Facility Agreement to which any Increasing Lender that is not already a Lender is a party, such Increasing Lender shall be deemed to be a party to this Agreement and shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Lender hereunder and subject to all obligations of a Lender hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall provide to the Lenders a copy of each Incremental Facility Agreement promptly after its receipt thereof. In the event any Loans shall be outstanding on the Increase Effective Date with respect to any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this ‎Section 2.06(a), such Loans shall continue to be outstanding and held by Lenders in the manner held prior to the effectiveness of such increase, but any new Borrowing shall be made by Lenders pursuant to ‎Section 2.01 ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments as in effect after giving effect to such increase.

(b) The Company may, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent and with or without cause, (i) terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portion of the Commitments of all Lenders on a pro rata basis or (ii) terminate in whole or reduce in part the Commitment of any Lender (including any Defaulting Lender) and prepay the corresponding pro rata portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans of such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon and all accrued Commitment Fees payable for the account of such Lender (and, if any such Loan is a Term Benchmark Loan and such prepayment is not made on the last day of the applicable Interest Period, any payment required pursuant to ‎Section 2.12); provided that each partial reduction with respect to one or more Lenders shall be in

| 41 |

the aggregate amount of at least US$25,000,000 or an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 in excess thereof. If the Company terminates in whole the Commitment of any Lender as permitted by this Agreement at a time when no Loan of such Lender is outstanding hereunder (after giving effect to any prepayment of the Loans of such Lender in connection with such termination), then such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto (but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections ‎2.11, ‎2.12 and ‎2.14 (to the extent accrued for periods prior to it ceasing to be a party hereto) and ‎Section 8.04), and its rights and obligations hereunder shall cease, on and after the effective date of such termination.

(d) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Term Benchmark Borrowing, neither the applicable Borrower nor, in the case of any Subsidiary Borrower, the Company on its behalf has timely delivered an Interest Election Request with respect to such Term Benchmark Borrowing, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Term Benchmark Borrowing as a Term Benchmark Borrowing of the same Type with an Interest Period of one month effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period.

(e) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of an Interest Election Request or, if no timely notice is provided by the applicable Borrower (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Borrower, the Company on its behalf), the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the details of any automatic continuation. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans held by each Lender comprising the Borrowing with respect to which the applicable Interest Election Request was given.

Section 2.10 Prepayments of Loans. (a) No Borrower shall have the right to prepay any principal amount of any Loans other than as provided in this ‎Section 2.10 or in ‎Section 2.06(b).

(b) Any Borrower, may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment (and, if such notice is given, such Borrower shall), prepay, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing made to such Borrower.

(c) If, on any date, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed an amount equal to 110% of the Aggregate Commitment, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of such excess and one or more Borrowers (as determined by the Company) shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within five Business Days, prepay Loans owing by such Borrowers in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to eliminate such excess.

(d) The applicable Borrower (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Borrower, the Company on its behalf) shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any prepayment of a Borrowing hereunder (i) no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day on which ABR Loans are to be prepaid, (ii) no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior to the date on which Term Benchmark Loans are to be prepaid, and (iii) no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, five Business Days prior to the date on which RFR Loans are to be prepaid, which notice shall specify the prepayment date, the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and the principal amount of each such Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Any partial prepayment of a Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than the applicable Prepayment Minimum or an integral multiple of the Prepayment Multiple in excess thereof. In the event of any such prepayment of a Term Benchmark Loan, the applicable Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof to the extent specified in ‎Section 2.12. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by ‎Section 2.08.

Section 2.11 Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate);

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Relevant Interbank Market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Term Benchmark Loans made by such Lender; or

(iii) subject any Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

| 45 |

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, from time to time upon written request of such Lender to the Company, the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate) has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then, from time to time upon written request of such Lender to the Company, the Company will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) If the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Loan to a Subsidiary Borrower (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan to a Subsidiary Borrower) is increased (or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender is reduced) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material by reason of the fact that such Subsidiary Borrower is organized in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction outside of the United States or the Republic of Ireland, then, from time to time upon written request of such Lender to the applicable Subsidiary Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Company), such Subsidiary Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(d) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company as specified in ‎Section 2.11(a) or 2.11(b) delivered to the Company or as specified in ‎Section 2.11(c) delivered to the applicable Subsidiary Borrower and the Company shall be prima facie evidence of the amount claimed in the absence of manifest error; provided that it is accompanied by a statement in reasonable detail of the calculation on which such amount was based. The Company or the applicable Subsidiary Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. If the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower receives any such certificate from a Lender, the Company shall have the right to terminate the commitment of such Lender in accordance with ‎Section 2.06(b) or require such Lender to assign its interest in accordance with ‎Section 2.18(b).

(e) Promptly after any Lender has determined that it will make a request for increased compensation pursuant to this ‎Section 2.11, such Lender shall notify the Company or, in the case of ‎Section 2.11(c), the Company and the applicable Subsidiary Borrower thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this ‎Section 2.11 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that (i) the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to ‎Section 2.11(a) or

| 46 |

‎2.11(b) for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof and (ii) no Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to ‎Section 2.11(c) for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered as to which such Lender became aware and failed to notify such Subsidiary Borrower promptly if and to the extent that prompt notice could have avoided or lessened payment by such Subsidiary Borrower under such Section.

(f) If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any amount (i) as to which it has been indemnified by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower or (ii) which has been paid to such Lender by the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower, in each case pursuant to this ‎Section 2.11, it shall pay over such refund to the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower (but only to the extent of payments made by the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower under this ‎Section 2.11 with respect to the events giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower agrees, upon the written request of such Lender to the Company and, if applicable, such Subsidiary Borrower, to repay the amount paid over to the Company or such Subsidiary Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its accounting records (or any other information which it deems confidential) to the Company, any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person.

Section 2.12 Break Funding Payments.

In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event or pursuant to ‎Section 2.06(b)), (b) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert or continue any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof), (d) the failure to prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on a date specified therefor in any notice of prepayment delivered pursuant hereto (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof) or (e) the assignment (other than as a result of a default by the applicable Lender in the performance of its agreements set forth herein) of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to ‎Section 2.18(b), then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess,

| 47 |

if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the EURIBOR Rate, as the case may be, that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not including the Applicable Rate applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Relevant Interbank Market. In the event of (A) the payment of any principal of any RFR Loan other than on the date that is on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month that is one month after the date of the Borrowing of which such Loan is a part (or, if there is no such numerically corresponding day in such month, then the last day of such month) (including as a result of an Event of Default or a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event, any optional prepayment of Loans or pursuant to ‎Section 2.06(b)), (B) the failure to borrow or prepay any RFR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (whether or not such notice may be revoked in accordance with the terms hereof), (C) the assignment (other than as a result of a default by the applicable Lender in the performance of its agreements set forth herein) of any RFR Loan other than on the date that is on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month that is one month after the date of the Borrowing of which such Loan is a part (or, if there is no such numerically corresponding day in such month, then the last day of such month) as a result of a request by the Company pursuant to ‎Section 2.18(b) or (D) the failure by any Borrower to make any payment of any RFR Loan on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency, then, in any such event, the applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender delivered to the Company and setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this ‎Section 2.12 shall be prima facie evidence of such amount; provided that it is accompanied by a statement in reasonable detail of the calculation on which such amount was based. The applicable Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.13 Payments and Computations. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder not later than 12:00 noon, Local Time, on the day when due, in each case without setoff or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the account most recently designated by the Administrative Agent for such purpose by written notice to the Company. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Commitment Fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to ‎Section 2.06(b)) to the Lenders, subject to ‎Section 2.16, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in

| 48 |

respect of any Loan shall be made in the currency of such Loan; all other payments hereunder shall be made in US Dollars. Any payment by any Borrower credited in the required funds to the Administrative Agent at its account most recently designated by the Administrative Agent for such purpose by written notice to the Company shall discharge the obligation of such Borrower to make such payment at the time such credit is so effected, irrespective of the time of any distribution of such payment by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.

(b) All computations of interest based on the Alternate Base Rate (if the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate) shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of Commitment Fees and all other computations of interest hereunder shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or any Commitment Fee, as the case may be.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Borrower, the Company on its behalf) prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the applicable Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of (i) if denominated in US Dollars, the greater of (A) the NYFRB Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) if denominated in any other currency, the greater of (A) the interest rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to reflect its cost of funds for the amount distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 2.14 Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of a Borrower under this Agreement 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 the applicable Borrower or an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by such Borrower or such withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such

| 49 |

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 such Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this ‎Section 2.14) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The applicable Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for Other Taxes.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this ‎Section 2.14, such Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The applicable Borrower shall indemnify each applicable Recipient, within 20 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 2.14) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment by such Borrower 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 Company 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 applicable Borrower(s) have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of such Borrower(s) to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of ‎Section 8.06(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, 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. Each Lender shall severally indemnify each applicable Borrower for any Taxes paid or payable by such Borrower (and not deducted or withheld by such Borrower from any payment otherwise due hereunder to such Lender) as a result of the failure of such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to the Company pursuant to ‎Section 2.14(f), 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

| 50 |

the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower(s) to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing by the Administrative Agent or such Borrower(s) (as applicable) to such Lender under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent or such Borrower(s) (as applicable) to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower(s) (as applicable) under this paragraph.

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company 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 Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the applicable Borrower(s) or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including 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 Sections ‎2.14(f)(ii)(A), ‎2.14(f)(ii)(B) and ‎2.14(f)(ii)(D)) 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, with respect to any U.S. Borrower:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person (or, if such Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is owned, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, by a U.S. Person) shall deliver to such U.S. 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 Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender (or such U.S. Person, as applicable) 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 such U.S. 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 such U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender (or, if a Foreign Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax

| 51 |

purposes, such owner) entitled to the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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 this Agreement, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to such Foreign Lender (or, if a Foreign Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such owner);

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender (or, if a Foreign Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such owner) entitled to the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a duly completed and executed certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender (or such owner, as applicable) is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of such U.S. 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) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender (or, if a Foreign Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such owner) is not the beneficial owner, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G--3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable (and including any other information required to be provided by IRS Form W-8IMY); 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 G-4 on behalf of each such direct or indirect partner;

(C) any Lender (or, if such Lender is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Person treated as its owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to such U.S. 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 Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of such U.S.

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 such U.S. 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 this Agreement 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 such U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such U.S. 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 such U.S. Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such U.S. 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.

(iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to any Irish Subsidiary Borrower, or any other Borrower that is resident in Ireland for the purposes of tax:

(A) each Lender represents and warrants that it is an Irish Qualifying Lender at the date of this Agreement or at the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement, as applicable, and that it undertakes to notify the relevant Borrower in the event that it becomes aware that it has ceased to be an Irish Qualifying Lender; and

(B) any Lender, following a request from such Borrower, shall (i) provide details of its name, address and country of tax residence to such Borrower to enable it to comply with its reporting obligations under section 891A of the TCA, and (ii) provide such Borrower with any correct, complete and accurate information that may be required for such Borrower to comply with its obligations under section 891E of the TCA and all regulations made pursuant to that section.

Upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this ‎Section 2.14(f). Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) (x) update such form or certification or (y) notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund or credit of any Taxes as to which it has been

| 53 |

indemnified pursuant to this ‎Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this ‎Section 2.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this ‎Section 2.14 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable 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 (plus any penalties, interest (but solely with respect to the period during which the indemnifying party held such refund) 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, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such 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.

(h) Value Added Tax. (i) All amounts set out or expressed in this Agreement to be payable by any party to any Recipient that (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT that is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (h)(ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient to any party under this Agreement, such party shall pay to such Recipient (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Recipient shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party), unless the VAT reverse charge mechanism is applicable.

(ii) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Recipient (the “VAT Supplier”) to any other Recipient (the “VAT Recipient”) under this Agreement, and any party other than the VAT Recipient (the “Subject Party”) is required by the terms of this Agreement to pay an amount equal to the consideration for such supply to the VAT Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse the VAT Recipient in respect of that consideration), such party shall also pay to the VAT Supplier (in addition to and at the same time as paying such amount) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT. The VAT Recipient will promptly pay to the Subject Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment obtained by the VAT Recipient from the relevant tax authority which the VAT Recipient reasonably determines is in respect of such VAT.

(iii) Where this Agreement requires any party to reimburse or indemnify a Recipient for any cost or expense, that party shall reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Recipient for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent that such Recipient reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

| 54 |

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this ‎Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement.

(j) Defined Terms. For purposes of this ‎Section 2.14, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

Section 2.15 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of the principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the principal of and accrued interest on the Loans obtained by the other Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase for cash at par from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that (a) if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (b) the provisions of this ‎Section 2.15 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time), including ‎Section 2.06(b), or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this ‎Section 2.15 shall apply). Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this ‎Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.16 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. The Undrawn Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of each Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded in determining whether the Required Lenders or any other requisite Lenders shall have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any waiver, amendment or other modification pursuant to ‎Section 8.01); provided that any waiver, amendment or other modification that requires the consent of all Lenders or of all Lenders affected thereby shall, except as provided in ‎Section 8.01, require the consent of such Defaulting Lender in accordance with the terms hereof.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to ‎Article VI or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

| 55 |

first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Company may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), 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, or to reimburse the Company for any amounts paid by it in satisfaction of such Defaulting Lender’s liabilities under this Agreement in connection with a written agreement between the Company and an assignee of such Defaulting Lender’s interests, rights and obligations in accordance with ‎Section 2.18(b); third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Company, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy future obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund 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 has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such 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 3.02 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. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on the Undrawn Commitment of such Defaulting Lender for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive such Commitment Fees.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Company and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be 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, such Defaulting 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 on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments, whereupon such Defaulting 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 any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that all amendments, waivers or other modifications effected without its consent in accordance with the provisions of ‎Section 8.01 and this ‎Section 2.16 during such period shall be binding on it; and provided further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the

| 56 |

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 2.17 Alternate Rate of Interest. (a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of this Section 2.17, if:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate (including because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period; or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period; or (B) at any time, the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Company delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.09 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, (A) for Loans denominated in US Dollars, (1) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Borrowing Request that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in US Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.17(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.17(a)(i) or (ii) above and (2) any Interest Election Request or a Borrowing Request that requests an RFR Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be a Borrowing Request, as applicable, for an ABR Borrowing and (B) for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any Borrowing Request that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing, in each case, for the relevant Benchmark, shall be ineffective; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Company’ receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.17(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable

| 57 |

to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until (x) the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Company delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.07 or a new Borrowing Request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.02, (A) for Loans denominated in US Dollars, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute, (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.17(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR also is the subject of Section 2.17(a)(i) or (ii) above, on such day, and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan and (B) for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency shall, at the Company’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Company on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in US Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to US Dollars for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to any Agreed Currency 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, 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

| 58 |

Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(d) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (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 the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.17, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.17.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate or, EURIBOR Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(f) Upon the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Company may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, either (x) the Company will be deemed to have converted any request for (1) a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in US Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) any Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be ineffective. 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 ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Company’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable

| 59 |

to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Agreed Currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.17, (A) for Loans denominated in US Dollars, (1) any Term Benchmark Loan shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute (x) an RFR Borrowing so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (2) any RFR Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute an ABR Loan and (B) for Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, any Term Benchmark Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan bear interest at the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency plus the CBR Spread; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate for the applicable Alternative Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Alternative Currency shall, at the Company’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Company on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Alternative Currency shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in US Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in US Dollars at such time.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any Benchmark Transition Event the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall consult with each other in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to make such modifications to this Agreement or any Loan Document to cause any Benchmark Transition Event, Benchmark Replacement, Benchmark Replacement Adjustment or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes not to give rise to a “significant modification” under Treasury Regulations § 1.1001-3, including (if applicable) to cause any Benchmark Replacement to constitute a “qualified rate” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations §1.1001-6(h)(3) and any modifications to this Agreement or any Loan Document in connection therewith to be a “covered modification” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations §1.1001-6(h)(1).

Section 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Each Lender shall (i) if it determines that it is specifically entitled to compensation under ‎Section 2.14, use its reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office, if any, for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if any, if such designation or assignment and delegation would avoid, or minimize the amount of, any payment by the Borrowers of additional amounts under ‎Section 2.14 in respect of such Lender and (ii) if it determines that it is specifically entitled to compensation under ‎Section 2.11, use its reasonable efforts (including using reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office, if any, for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if any), but only if it shall not incur any disadvantage as a result thereof, to avoid, or to minimize the amount of, any payment by the Borrowers of additional amounts under ‎Section 2.11 in respect of such Lender.

| 60 |

(b) The Company may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent delivered at any time and with or without cause, require any Lender (including any Defaulting Lender) to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder in respect of all or a portion of its Commitment and the corresponding pro rata portion of any Loans then owing to such Lender to one or more Transferees. Such Transferee or Transferees shall on the effective date of such assignment (as specified in the Assignment and Assumption with respect thereto) pay to such Lender (i) the accrued Commitment Fee with respect to the assigned portion of such Commitment and (ii) if a Loan is assigned, the principal amount of such Loan so assigned, together with accrued interest thereon. If such assigned Loan is a Term Benchmark Loan, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse such Lender on such effective date if such assignment is not made on the last day of the applicable Interest Period in accordance with ‎Section 2.12. If such assigned Loan is an RFR Loan, the Company shall be obligated to reimburse such Lender on such effective date if such assignment is not made on the applicable interest payment date. The term “Transferee” means any Eligible Assignee, selected by the Company in its sole discretion, that is willing to undertake all or part of a Lender’s Commitment and to purchase all or part of any Loans under this ‎Section 2.18(b). In each such event, the assigning Lender and the Transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company, for its acceptance, an Assignment and Assumption and the Company shall accept and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent for recording in accordance with ‎Section 8.08. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, which effective date shall be not less than five Business Days nor more than 10 Business Days after execution and shall be coordinated by the parties thereto with the Administrative Agent to be the same date as the date of such recording, (A) the Transferee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (B) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the remaining portion of an 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 ‎2.11, ‎2.12 and ‎2.14 (to the extent accrued for periods prior to it ceasing to be a party hereto) and ‎Section 8.04)). The provisions of clauses (i), (iv) and (v) of the third proviso to ‎Section 8.06(a) and the provisions of ‎Section 8.07 shall apply to all Assignments and Assumptions executed and delivered pursuant to this ‎Section 2.18(b).

Section 2.19 Subsidiary Borrowers. (a) Subsidiary Borrower Designation. The Company may, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date, designate any of its Subsidiaries as a Subsidiary Borrower by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Subsidiary Borrower Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and the Company. Promptly after its receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will provide a copy of such Subsidiary Borrower Agreement to the Lenders. Each such Subsidiary Borrower Agreement shall become effective on the date eight Business Days after it shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, provided that (i) the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have received, at least one Business Day prior to the date of the effectiveness thereof, all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities with respect to such Subsidiary under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, that has been reasonably requested by the

| 61 |

Administrative Agent or such Lender in writing not later than the fifth Business Day after such Subsidiary Borrower Agreement has been delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) in the case of a designation of a Foreign Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent shall not have received written notice from any Lender (an “Objecting Lender”) that (A) such Objecting Lender is unable to make Loans or otherwise extend credit to such Foreign Subsidiary due to applicable legal or regulatory restrictions or (B) such Objecting Lender is prevented by its generally applicable internal policies from extending credit to such Foreign Subsidiary (a “Notice of Objection”), in which case such Subsidiary Borrower Agreement shall not become effective unless, within the period of eight Business Days referred to above, (x) such Objecting Lender withdraws such Notice of Objection, (y) such Objecting Lender ceases to be a Lender hereunder, including pursuant to ‎Section 2.06(b) or ‎Section 2.18(b), or (z) a New Tranche is created in accordance with ‎Section 8.01(c). Upon the effectiveness of a Subsidiary Borrower Agreement as provided above, the applicable Subsidiary shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a party hereto and a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder.

(b) Subsidiary Borrowers’ Obligations Several. Each of the Subsidiary Borrowers shall be severally liable for its liabilities and obligations under this Agreement, and no Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable for any Borrowing or any other obligation of any other Borrower under this Agreement. Each Subsidiary Borrower shall be severally liable for all payments of the principal of and interest on Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower, and any other amounts due hereunder that are specifically allocable to such Subsidiary Borrower or the Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower. No Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable for any fees due hereunder, for which the Company shall be exclusively liable.

(c) Designation of Ineligible Subsidiaries. The Company may at any time, and from time to time, by delivery to the Administrative Agent of an Ineligible Subsidiary Designation Notice, designate any Subsidiary Borrower as an Ineligible Subsidiary. Upon such designation, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower shall immediately terminate, and such Ineligible Subsidiary shall no longer be entitled to request or borrow Borrowings hereunder. The designation of a Subsidiary Borrower as an Ineligible Subsidiary shall have no effect on (i) the outstanding Loans, if any, of such Subsidiary Borrower, (ii) the obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower to repay principal of and interest on any outstanding Loans of such Subsidiary Borrower when such amounts become due in accordance with this Agreement or any other payment obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement or (iii) the right of such Subsidiary Borrower to deliver any Interest Election Request or select any future Interest Periods with respect to outstanding Loans of such Subsidiary Borrower in accordance with this Agreement; provided that at such time as no principal of or interest on any Loan of such Ineligible Subsidiary, and no other amounts payable by such Ineligible Subsidiary, shall be outstanding, such Ineligible Subsidiary shall cease to be a Subsidiary Borrower and a party to this Agreement. Promptly after its receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will provide a copy of each Ineligible Subsidiary Designation Notice to the Lenders.

(d) Subsidiary Borrower Termination Events. (i) Each Subsidiary Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, as promptly as possible and in any event within five Business Days after the occurrence of any Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower that is continuing on the date of such statement, the statement of an

| 62 |

officer of the Subsidiary Borrower (or of the Company on its behalf) setting forth the details of such Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event and the action that such Subsidiary Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto.

(ii) If a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event occurs and is continuing with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower, then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent (A) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to such Subsidiary Borrower and the Company, declare the obligation of each Lender to make Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate and such Subsidiary Borrower shall no longer be entitled to request or borrow Borrowings hereunder and (B) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by notice to such Subsidiary Borrower and the Company, declare the Loans of such Subsidiary Borrower, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement by such Subsidiary Borrower to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Loans of such Subsidiary Borrower, all such interest thereon and all such other amounts payable by such Subsidiary Borrower shall become and be forthwith due and payable by such Subsidiary Borrower, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Subsidiary Borrower; provided, however, that in the case of a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event specified in clause (c) of the definition of such term, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender may declare any Loan of such Subsidiary Borrower to be due and payable unless the Company fails to pay under the Company Guarantee the overdue amount owed by such Subsidiary Borrower within three Business Days after written demand therefor shall have been received by the Company from the Administrative Agent; provided, further, however, that in the case of a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event specified in clause (a), (b), (f) or (g) of the definition of such term, (1) the obligation of each Lender to make Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower shall automatically terminate and (2) the Loans of such Subsidiary Borrower, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement by such Subsidiary Borrower shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Subsidiary Borrower.

(e) Appointment of Company as Agent. Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent for all purposes of this Agreement, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices (including any Borrowing Request or any Interest Election Request) and (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein. Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby acknowledges that any amendment, waiver or other modification to this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be effected as set forth in ‎Section 8.01, that no consent of such Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to effect any such amendment, waiver or other modification and that such Subsidiary Borrower shall be bound by this Agreement or such other Loan Document as so amended, waived or otherwise modified.

THE AGENTS

Section 7.01 Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in ‎Section 8.01), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.

Section 7.02 Agents’ Reliance, Etc. (a) No Agent or any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (i) may treat the Lender to whom any Loan is owing as reflected in its records as the Person to whom all payments with respect to that Loan are to be made until the Administrative Agent receives and records an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform) entered into by such Lender, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrowers), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for, or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into, any statements, warranties or

representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith; (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for, or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into, the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on the part of the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, effectiveness or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (vi) shall not be responsible to any Lender for 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 or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; and (vii) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, request, certificate or other instrument or writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in this Agreement for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone (other than statements required to be in writing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in this Agreement for being the maker thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default, an Event of Default or a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby;

(ii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; and

| 80 |

(iii) shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default, Event of Default or Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event (or any event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event) unless and until written notice describing such Default, Event of Default, Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event or other event (stating that it is a “Notice of Default” or “Notice of a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Company, a Subsidiary Borrower or a Lender.

Section 7.03 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Section 7.04 Agents and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, each Person acting as an Agent, and its Affiliates, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, as the case may be, and it and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as trustee under indentures of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any Borrower or any such Subsidiary or Affiliate, all as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 7.05 Lender Credit Decision. (a) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on the financial information referred to in ‎Section 4.01(e)(i) and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and any other Loan Document to which such Lender is a party. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(b) Each Lender, by becoming a party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document to which such Lender is a party, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, this Agreement and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on or prior to the Closing Date. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall

| 81 |

have received notice to the contrary from such Lender sufficiently in advance to the making of such Loan.

Section 7.06 [Reserved].

Section 7.07 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time from its capacity as such by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Company, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, having a combined capital and surplus of at least US$500,000,000 and a local office in New York. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth in the immediately preceding sentence; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, or no successor has been appointed, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders, in consultation with and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Company, appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged (if not already discharged as set forth above) from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. Following the effectiveness of any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder from its capacity as such, the provisions of this ‎Article VII and ‎Section 8.04 shall inure to its benefit and for the benefit of its sub-agents and its and their Related Parties as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

Section 7.08 Arrangers, Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents. None of the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents or the Documentation Agents shall have any obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement except, solely in its capacity as a Lender, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents or the Documentation Agents shall have, or be deemed to have, any fiduciary responsibility to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents or the Documentation Agents in deciding to enter this Agreement or in taking or refraining from any action hereunder.

| 82 |

Section 7.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Borrower under any Debtor Relief Law now or hereafter in effect, 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 any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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 under Section 2.05, 2.11, 2.12, 2.14 and 8.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, hereunder (including under ‎Section 8.04). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the obligations or the rights of any Lender, or to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

Section 7.10 Certain ERISA Matters. (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agents and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

Section 7.11 Recovery of Erroneous Payments. (a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any

Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 7.11 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) The Company and each Subsidiary Borrower hereby agree that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower under any Loan Document, except, in each case, to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower for the purpose of making such erroneous Payment.

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 7.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(c) The Company may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date, request that Lenders convert (each, a “Tranche Conversion”) all or a portion of their Commitments into a new tranche of Commitments (any such new tranche being referred to as a “New Tranche”, and the existing Commitments being referred to as the “Converted Tranche”), which (i) shall be available to the Borrowers in one or more currencies that were previously designated by the Company as an “Alternative Currency” but that shall have failed to be approved as such as required by the definition of the term Alternative Currencies (it being understood that Commitments under such New Tranche may also be available to the Borrowers in US Dollars and/or any Alternative Currency) and/or (ii) shall be available to any Subsidiary that shall have been previously designated by the Company as a “Subsidiary Borrower” but that shall have failed to become such as a result of the delivery of a Notice of Objection by any Lender (any such Subsidiary, a “New Subsidiary Borrower”) (it being understood that Commitments under such New Tranche may also be available to one or more of the other Borrowers); provided that (A) all Lenders must be given an opportunity, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to participate in such New Tranche on a ratable basis based on the amount of their respective Commitments under the Converted Tranche (immediately prior to giving effect to such Tranche Conversion), (B) no Lender shall be required to participate in such New Tranche and, with respect to any Lender that shall have agreed to participate in such New Tranche, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment under the Converted Tranche that is to be converted into a Commitment under such New Tranche shall be as agreed by such Lender, (C) the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall not increase as a result of such Tranche Conversion, (D) after giving effect to such Tranche Conversion, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure under the Converted Tranche shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the remaining Commitments under the Converted Tranche, (E) other than the availability of Loans under such New Tranche in any applicable new currencies (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any new pricing benchmarks applicable to such new currencies) or any applicable New Subsidiary Borrower (and, if so requested by the Company in the applicable notice, one or more other Borrowers), the terms and conditions of Commitments and Loans under such New Tranche shall be substantially identical to those under such Converted Tranche (including as to the Commitment Fees and the Applicable Rate), (F) the borrowing and repayment of Loans denominated in the same currency under such New Tranche and such Converted Tranche by any Borrower (other than the applicable New Subsidiary Borrower and any other Borrower that was not a Borrower under the Converted Tranche at the time of the applicable Tranche Conversion) shall be made on a ratable basis as between the Commitments under such New Tranche and the remaining Commitments under such Converted Tranche and (G) no Commitment under such New Tranche may be terminated or reduced unless the remaining Commitments under such Converted Tranche are terminated or

| 87 |

reduced on a ratable basis, as the case may be, substantially concurrently therewith. Each New Tranche shall be established pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company, among the Company, any applicable New Subsidiary Borrower (and any other Subsidiary Borrower that are to be borrowers under such New Tranche), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under such New Tranche (and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in ‎Section 8.01(a), no consent of any other Lender shall be required for the effectiveness of such amendment), it being understood and agreed that such amendment may effect such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Company, to give effect to the provisions of this ‎Section 8.01(c), including (x) any modifications necessary or appropriate to treat Commitments and Loans under such New Tranche as a new class of Commitments and Loans, (y) any modifications that shall have been agreed by the Lenders under such New Tranche (solely in respect of such New Tranche) to the Tax gross up provisions of this Agreement (including the possible inclusion of a “day one” carve out from the gross up for withholding Taxes imposed by the jurisdiction of organization (or other applicable jurisdiction) of any applicable New Subsidiary Borrower) and (z) any modifications necessary or appropriate to incorporate any applicable new currencies (including any new pricing benchmarks applicable to such new currencies). Upon the effectiveness of such amendment in accordance with its terms, any applicable New Subsidiary Borrower shall for all purposes of this Agreement be a party hereto and a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder in respect of the applicable New Tranche.

(d) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, waivers or other modifications on behalf of such Lender. Any amendment, waiver or other modification effected in accordance with this ‎Section 8.01 shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.

Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and subject to ‎Section 8.02(b)), all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by fax or email, as follows:

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by fax shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient); and notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in ‎Section 8.02(b) shall be effective as provided in such Section. Any party hereto may change its address, telephone number, email address or fax number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (or, in the case of any such change by a Lender, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent).

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including email, intranet websites and the Platform) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices under ‎Article II to any Lender if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. Any notices or other communications to the Administrative Agent, the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures expressly approved by the recipient thereof (or, in the case of any Subsidiary Borrower, by the Company) prior thereto; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited or rescinded by the Administrative Agent by notice to each other such Person and by the Company and any Subsidiary Borrower by notice to the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an email address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return email 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 the Platform shall be deemed received upon the receipt by the intended recipient at its email address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in

| 89 |

tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of the Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrowers, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to the Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain MNPI. Each Lender agrees that any Agent or any Arranger may, but shall not be obligated to, store any Borrower Materials on the Platform in accordance with its customary document retention procedures and policies.

Section 8.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 8.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of outside counsel for the foregoing in the United States and one firm of outside counsel for the foregoing in Ireland (and, if deemed reasonably necessary by such Persons, one firm of regulatory counsel and/or one firm of local counsel in each other appropriate jurisdiction of a Subsidiary Borrower), in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the credit facility provided for herein, including the preparation, execution and delivery of the commitment letter and the fee letters entered into in connection with the credit facility provided for herein, as well as the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers (to the extent such amendments, modifications or waivers are contemplated by ‎Section 2.17(b) or requested by the Company) of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration (other than routine administrative procedures and excluding costs and expenses relating to assignments and participations of Lenders) of this Agreement and any other Loan Document and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any of the foregoing, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including its rights under this ‎Section 8.04, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

| 90 |

(b) The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, 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 expenses reasonably related thereto, including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of outside counsel for Indemnitees (and, if deemed reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent, one firm of regulatory counsel and/or one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest for any Indemnitee, one firm of counsel (and, if deemed reasonably necessary by such Indemnitee, one firm of regulatory and/or one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction) for such Indemnitee), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the preparation, execution, delivery and (in the case of the Administrative Agent and its Related Parties only) administration of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by any Borrower or any other Person); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or a material breach, including any such breach in bad faith, of the agreements by such Indemnitee set forth in this Agreement or (B) result from any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Company, a Subsidiary Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding brought by an Indemnitee against the Administrative Agent or any Arranger in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an agent or arranger or any other similar role hereunder). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, and no party hereto shall be liable for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Loans, this Agreement or its activities related thereto; provided that nothing contained in this sentence will limit the Company’s indemnity and reimbursement obligations set forth in this ‎Section 8.04. This paragraph shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent that the Company fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it under ‎Section 8.04(a) or 8.04(b) to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, 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 or against any Related Party acting for the Administrative Agent in connection with such capacity. For purposes of this paragraph, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum

| 91 |

of the total Undrawn Commitments and the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure outstanding, in each case, at the time (or most recently in effect or outstanding, as the case may be).

(d) All amounts due under this ‎Section 8.04 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

Section 8.05 Binding Effect; Survival. On and after the Closing Date, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void), other than, in the case of the Company, pursuant to and in accordance with ‎Section 5.02(b) or 8.18 or, in the case of any Subsidiary Borrower, pursuant to any merger or consolidation that would not result in a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event under clause (b)(ii) of the definition of such term. The provisions of Sections 2.04(c), 2.11, 2.12, 2.13(d), 2.14, 2.18, 8.04, 8.17 and 9.03 and ‎Article VII 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 Commitments or the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.06 Optional Assignments; Participations. (a) Each Lender may, but only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided that the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 15 Business Days after having received written notice thereof), assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that no consent of the Company shall be required for an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default arising under ‎Section 6.01(a), 6.01(e) or 6.01(f) (provided that, in each case, the Company shall have received a written notice of such assignment); provided further that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than US$10,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of US$1,000,000 in excess thereof or, in the case of an assignment of loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, the equivalent thereof (except in the case of (x) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans or (y) an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Administrative Agent, (iii) no such assignment shall result in any additional liability of the Company or any Subsidiary Borrower on account of United States Taxes or Ireland Taxes under ‎Section 2.14 or for increased costs under ‎Section 2.11 or violate any applicable provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any State thereof, (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for recording, an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform) (bearing the consent of the Company, if its consent is required as set forth above) and a processing and recordation fee of US$3,500 payable

| 92 |

to the Administrative Agent (such fee to be paid by the parties to such assignment or, in the case of any assignment pursuant to ‎Section 2.18(b), by the Company) and (v) the assignee shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by ‎Section 2.14(f) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder). Upon such execution, delivery and recording and, if applicable, delivery of written consent of the Company to such assignment, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, which effective date shall be at least five Business Days after the execution thereof and shall be coordinated by the parties thereto with the Administrative Agent to be the same date as the date of such recording, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an 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 2.11, 2.12 and 2.14 (to the extent accrued for periods prior to it ceasing to be a party hereto) and ‎Section 8.04). Any assignment by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this ‎Section 8.06(a) 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 ‎Section 8.06(c); provided that the requirements of ‎Section 8.06(c) are met. 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 Company and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans. 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.

(b) [Reserved.]

(c) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and

| 93 |

directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) no such participation shall restrict the right of the Lender to take or refrain from taking any action, including the consent or agreement to any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement or under documents related hereto, except with respect to any action described in clause (ii)(A), (ii)(B) or (ii)(C) of the first proviso of ‎Section 8.01(a). The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under ‎Section 2.14(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under ‎Section 2.14(f) 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 ‎Section 8.06(a); provided that such Participant (x) agrees to be subject to the provisions of ‎Section 2.18 as if it were an assignee under ‎Section 8.06(a) and (y) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under ‎Section 2.11 or 2.14, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive (it being understood and agreed that such Participant shall not be entitled to the benefit of any other indemnity, expense reimbursement, yield protection or similar provision solely on account of becoming a Participant rather than being a party hereto). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other rights and obligations of such Lender under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or other rights and obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other right and obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining any Participant Register.

(d) 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 or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this ‎Section 8.06 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 8.07 Confidentiality. (a) Each Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) in accordance with its customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Related Parties, including accountants and legal counsel (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed

| 94 |

to keep such Information confidential); (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) (it being understood that the regulatory authority to which such disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and, except where such regulatory authority would be required to keep such Information confidential as a matter of law, requested to keep such Information confidential); (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and, except where such Person would be required to keep such Information confidential as a matter of law, requested to keep such Information confidential); (iv) to any other party to this Agreement; (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or under any agreement or instrument contemplated by this Agreement or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument contemplated by this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and requested to keep such Information confidential); (vi) subject to execution by it of a written agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this ‎Section 8.07, (A) to any Eligible Assignee of or participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to ‎Section 2.06 or (B) to any actual of prospective counterparty to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company or any Subsidiary and its obligations or any actual or prospective insurance provider relating to any such obligations (or, in each case, their respective Related Parties); (vii) with the written consent of the Company; (viii) to rating agencies (on a confidential basis) and data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry, such information to consist of information customarily provided by arrangers to such data service providers; or (xi) to the extent that such Information (A) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this ‎Section 8.07 or (B) is or becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower. For the purposes of this ‎Section 8.07, “Information” means all information received from the Company, any of its Affiliates or any of the Company’s or such Affiliates’ respective Related Parties, including accountants and legal counsel, relating to the Company, any of its Affiliates or any of the Company’s or such Affiliates’ respective Related Parties, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Syndication Agent, any Documentation Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company, any of its Affiliates or any of the Company’s or such Affiliates’ respective Related Parties. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this ‎Section 8.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised no less than reasonable care and at least the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b) Each of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agents, the Documentation Agents and each Lender acknowledges that (i) the Information may include MNPI, (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of MNPI and (iii) it will handle such MNPI in accordance with applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws.

| 95 |

Section 8.08 Records of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee and delivered to it and shall record the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The Administrative Agent shall record in the loan accounts or other records maintained by it (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Loans comprising such Borrowing and the Interest Period applicable thereto if comprised of Term Benchmark Loans, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by the Company, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from any Borrower to each Lender hereunder in connection with the Loans and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower hereunder in connection with the Loans and each Lender’s share thereof. The entries in the loan accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall record information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. Such loan accounts or records shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption (or an agreement incorporating by reference a form of Assignment and Assumption posted on the Platform) executed by an assigning Lender and by an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, such assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required by ‎Section 2.14(f) (unless such assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and the processing and recordation fee referred to in ‎Section 8.06(a), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to accept such Assignment and Assumption or so record the information contained therein if the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such Assignment and Assumption lacks any written consent required by ‎Section 8.06(a) or is otherwise not in proper form, it being acknowledged that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation (and shall incur no liability) with respect to obtaining (or confirming the receipt) of any such written consent or with respect to the form of (or any defect in) such Assignment and Assumption, any such duty and obligation being solely with the assigning Lender and the assignee.

Section 8.09 Governing Law; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits, for itself and for its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York and the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding brought by it or its controlled Affiliates shall be brought, and shall be heard and determined, exclusively in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such

Section 8.10 Execution in Counterparts; Integration; Electronic Execution. (a) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including the commitments of the Lenders and, if applicable, their Affiliates under any commitment letter and any commitment advices submitted by them (but does not supersede any other provisions of any commitment letter or any fee letter referred to therein (or any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent) that do not by the terms

| 97 |

of such documents terminate upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, all of which provisions shall remain in full force and effect).

(b) The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, electronic deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written consent.

Section 8.11 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.12 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 8.13 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 that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the NYFRB Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 8.14 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other agreement or instrument in connection with this Agreement) and any communications in connection therewith, the Company and each Subsidiary Borrower acknowledges and agrees that: (i) (A) such transactions are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Company, the Subsidiary Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers, on the other hand, and such transactions and communications do not create, by implication or otherwise,

| 98 |

any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Arrangers or their respective Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications, (B) the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate and (C) the Company and the Subsidiary Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Company, any Subsidiary Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person and (B) none of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Arranger has any obligation to the Company, any Subsidiary Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, the Subsidiary Borrowers and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Arrangers has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company, the Subsidiary Borrowers or such Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company and each Subsidiary Borrower hereby agrees not to assert any claims against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Arrangers or their respective Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 8.15 USA PATRIOT Act Notice and Beneficial Ownership Regulation. Each Lender that is subject to the USA PATRIOT Act or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and/or the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation. The Borrowers shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests and that is required to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

Section 8.16 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under this Agreement may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

| 99 |

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

Section 8.17 Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto (including each Subsidiary Borrower) agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

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

Section 8.18 Permitted Reorganization. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company may become a wholly-owned Subsidiary of a corporation organized under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia (the “New Holding Company”) by means of a merger of the Company with or into a newly organized wholly owned Domestic Subsidiary of the New Holding Company (the “Permitted Reorganization Merger Subsidiary”) or another transaction or series of transactions that result in the Company becoming a wholly owned Domestic Subsidiary of the New Holding Company, provided that:

(a) immediately after the consummation of the Permitted Reorganization, the identity of the holders of the equity interests in the New Holding Company, and the percentage of the ordinary voting power represented by the equity interests in the New Holding Company held by each of them, shall be identical to the identity of the holders of the equity interests in the

| 100 |

Company, and the percentage of the ordinary voting power represented by the equity interests in the Company held by each of them, immediately prior to the consummation of the Permitted Reorganization;

(b) the New Holding Company and, if applicable, the Permitted Reorganization Merger Subsidiary, prior to the consummation of the Permitted Reorganization, shall not have been engaged in any business activities or conducted any operations other than in connection with or as contemplated by the Permitted Reorganization and shall not own any material assets;

(c) prior to the consummation of the Permitted Reorganization, the Company, the New Holding Company and the Administrative Agent shall enter into an agreement in writing pursuant to which this Agreement shall be amended as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Company and the Administrative Agent, to reflect (i) the Company becoming a wholly owned Subsidiary of the New Holding Company, (ii) subject to clause (iii) below, the New Holding Company becoming bound hereby and by the other Loan Documents as if it were the original “Company”, including for purposes of the definitions, the representations and warranties set forth in ‎Article IV hereof, the covenants set forth in ‎Article V hereof, the Events of Default set forth in ‎Article VI hereof and the Company Guarantee set forth in ‎Article IX hereof (and the related defined terms), and becoming a Borrower hereunder as if it were the original “Company” and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (ii) above, the Company remaining the primary obligor in respect of the Loans owing by the Company and all the rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement in its capacity as a Borrower remaining rights and obligations of the Company (it being understood and agreed, however, that from and after the consummation of the Permitted Reorganization provisions hereof applicable to the Company in its capacity as a Borrower shall be consistent with the provisions hereof applicable to the other Subsidiary Borrowers in such capacity), including any such amendments (consistent with clauses (i) through (iii) above) to provide that (A) references to the Company will be modified to be references to the New Holding Company, other than in ‎Section 2.19(e), or to each of the Company and the New Holding Company (including in ‎Section 2.19(e)), as the context of the original reference requires and (B) on the date of effectiveness of such agreement, the New Holding Company shall represent and warrant, after giving effect to such agreement and pro forma effect to the Permitted Reorganization, as to the matters set forth in Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(b), 4.01(c), 4.01(d), 4.01(j) and 4.01(k); provided that a copy of such agreement shall have been provided by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date a copy of such agreement is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendments (it being understood that in the absence of such written notice from the Required Lenders, such amendments shall become effective at the end of such period, without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement);

(d) prior to or substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Permitted Reorganization, the New Holding Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent documents, certificates and opinions relating to the New Holding Company consistent with those delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(b) and 3.01(c); and

| 101 |

(e) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received, at least three Business Days prior to the date of the consummation of the Permitted Reorganization, all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities with respect to the New Holding Company under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, that has been reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in writing at least five Business Days prior to the date of the consummation of the Permitted Reorganization.

Section 9.02 Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of the Company under the Company Guarantee shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, by operation of law or otherwise;

(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(c) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Subsidiary Borrower (or Domestic Subsidiary) or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting such Subsidiary Borrower (or Domestic Subsidiary) or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Subsidiary Borrower contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(d) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that the Company may have at any time against any Subsidiary Borrower (or Domestic Subsidiary), the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(e) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Subsidiary Borrower (or Domestic Subsidiary) for any reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any

| 102 |

Subsidiary Borrower (or Domestic Subsidiary) of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(f) any other act or omission by any Subsidiary Borrower (or any Domestic Subsidiary), the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person which might, but for the provisions of this ‎Section 9.02, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Company’s obligations under the Company Guarantee (other than as set forth in ‎Section 9.03).

Section 9.03 Discharge; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. The Company’s obligations under the Company Guarantee with respect to the obligations of a Subsidiary Borrower (or Domestic Subsidiary) shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (a) the date on which the Commitments shall have terminated and the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable by such Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full (or with respect to obligations of a Subsidiary Borrower, the principal of and interest on the Loans owing by such Subsidiary Borrower and all other amounts payable by such Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full), (b) with respect to obligations of a Subsidiary Borrower, the date on which, following a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to extend Loans to such Subsidiary Borrower shall have been terminated and the principal of and interest on the Loans of such Subsidiary Borrower and all other amounts payable by such Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full and (c) with respect to obligations of a Subsidiary Borrower, the date on which, following the designation of such Subsidiary as an Ineligible Subsidiary pursuant to ‎Section 2.19(c), the principal of and interest on the Loans owing by such Subsidiary Borrower, if any, and all other amounts payable by such Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full; provided, however, that the Company may be released from any of its obligations under the Company Guarantee by the Administrative Agent with the written consent of all the Lenders as set forth in ‎Section 8.01(a). If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable by any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Subsidiary Borrower (or Domestic Subsidiary), or otherwise, the Company’s obligations under the Company Guarantee with respect to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 9.04 Waiver by the Company. The Company irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action not provided for herein be taken by any Person against any Subsidiary Borrower (or, if applicable, any Domestic Subsidiary) or any other Person.
