Moreover, the Borrower and the Lenders agree and acknowledge that each Loan made on the Closing Date and the associated Warrant comprise an “investment unit” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h), and that the fair market value of each Warrant is specified on Annex A hereto. The sum of the discount specified in the foregoing clause (ii) and the fair market value of the Warrants will be treated as original issue discount on the Loans made on the Closing Date for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will reduce the issue price of such Loans.
(b)
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a Second Amendment Commitment agrees, severally and not jointly, to make made a Loan to the Borrower on the Second Amendment Funding Date in an amount equal to (i) the Second Amendment Commitment of such Lender less (ii) the original issue discount applicable to such Lender as set forth on Annex A.

Any borrowing of Fourth Amendment Loans will automatically and permanently reduce the Fourth Amendment Commitments in an amount corresponding to the amount of such borrowing. All Fourth Amendment Loans will be issued with original issue discount of 2.0%. The Borrower may make up to two borrowings under the Fourth Amendment Commitments, and each borrowing shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

Moreover, the Borrower and the Lenders agree and acknowledge that each Fourth Amendment Loan made on a Fourth Amendment Funding Date and the associated Fourth Amendment Warrant comprise an “investment unit” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h), and that the fair market value of each Fourth Amendment Warrant shall be determined immediately prior to the borrowing of Fourth Amendment Loans on the applicable Fourth Amendment Funding Date.

maturity and stated redemption price at maturity for purposes of Section 1271 of the Code.

| -47- |

(b)

Voluntary Prepayments.

(i) Any time and from time to time (subject to the payment of any Prepayment Premium set forth in Section 2.06(b)):

(A) the Borrower may prepay Base Rate Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; and

(B) the Borrower may prepay Eurodollar Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.

(ii) All such prepayments shall be made:

(A) upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written notice in the case of Base Rate Loans; and

(B) upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans;

in each case given to the Disbursing Agent by 12:00 p.m. on the date required (and the Disbursing Agent will promptly transmit such original notice to each Lender). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. The Borrower’s notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or one or more other events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Disbursing Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied; provided that the Borrower shall make any payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may only repay the Second Amendment Loans if it has Repayment Liquidity of at least $20,000,000 after making such payment.

(b) Call Protection. In the event all or any portion of the principal of the Loans is (i) voluntarily prepaid under Section 2.06(a), (ii) prepaid under Section 2.07(a), Section 2.07(b), Section 2.07(c), Section 2.07(d) or Section 2.07(e), (iii) accelerated in accordance with Article VII (including, without limitation, automatic acceleration upon an Event of Default under Section 7.01(f) or Section 7.01(g) or operation of law upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event) or,

| -49- |

(iv) satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means or (v) repaid on the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall be required to pay (A) the Make Whole Amount if such prepayment, acceleration, satisfaction or release with respect to (1) any Loans made on the Closing Date occurs on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date or, (2) any Second Amendment Loans occurs on or after March 31, 2022 and on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date or (3) any Fourth Amendment Loans occurs on or after January 31, 2023 and on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date or (B) the Applicable Prepayment Premium if such prepayment, acceleration, satisfaction or, release or repayment with respect to (1) any Loans made on the Closing Date occurs after the third anniversary of the Closing Date or, (2) any Second Amendment Loans occurs after the Second Amendment Effective Date through March 30, 2022 or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date or (3) any Fourth Amendment Loans occurs after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date through January 30, 2023 or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the Make Whole Amount and the Applicable Prepayment Premium, as the case may be, the “Prepayment Premium”); provided, that prepayments of outstanding PIK Interest that have been accrued and capitalized pursuant to Section 2.11(d) shall not be subject to any Prepayment Premium. It is understood and agreed that the Prepayment Premium applicable at the time of a prepayment, acceleration, satisfaction or, release or repayment shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Prepayment Premium payable prior to the Maturity Date under the terms of this Agreement shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination, and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. EACH LOAN PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PREPAYMENT OR, ACCELERATION OR REPAYMENT. The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then-prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium to the Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Commitments and make the Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, the Disbursing Agent shall have no obligation to calculate, or to verify the Borrower’s or any Lender’s calculation of, any Prepayment Premium due under this Agreement.

Section 2.07 Mandatory Prepayments.

| -51- |

thereof in assets of the type used in the business of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph with respect to the Extraordinary Receipts specified in such certificate. In the event that such Extraordinary Receipts are not so reinvested prior to the last day of such 365 day period, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to such Extraordinary Receipts as set forth in Section 2.08.

Section 2.08 Application of Prepayments. Any prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17.

Automatically, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default described in Section 7.01(a), Section 7.01(f) or Section 7.01(g) and (ii) after notice to the Borrower from the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest on all amounts (whether or not past due) owing by it hereunder at a rate per annum at all times, after as well as before judgment, equal to (x) in the case of principal, at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to Section 2.11(a) or Section 2.11(b), as applicable, plus 2.00% per annum and (y) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) equal to the rate that would be applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2.00% per annum, in each case, from the date of such Event of Default or if later, the date specified in any such notice until such Event of Default is cured or waived.
(d)
Interest shall be due and payable by the Borrower in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be due and payable upon demand. On each Interest Payment Date, the Borrower shall have the option of paying a portion of the interest due in an amount up to 2.5% per annum in cash or in kind (“PIK Interest”) by capitalizing such amount and adding it to the principal amount of the Loans. If the Borrower elects to make payments of interest in cash pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower shall notify the Disbursing Agent of such election at least three Business Days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date.
(e)
Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
(f)
All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the “Prime Rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Disbursing Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

I

Section 2.12 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable

| -53- |

lending office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or to make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any Loan or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Disbursing Agent), (i) any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Loan or continue Eurodollar Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on such Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Disbursing Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Disbursing Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Disbursing Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Disbursing Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Disbursing Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Disbursing Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

Section 2.13 Inability to Determine Interest Rate; Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(a)
Temporary Inability to Determine Interest Rate. Unless and until a Benchmark Replacement is implemented in accordance with Section 2.13(b), if, in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (a) the Disbursing Agent or the Required Lenders determine that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Loan, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (b) the Disbursing Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Loan, the Disbursing Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the

| -54- |

utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Disbursing Agent, upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
(b)
Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.
i.
Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (A) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) or (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of 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 (B) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day after the Rate Election Notice is provided to each of the other parties hereto.
ii.
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Required Lenders (in consultation with the Borrower) will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that the Disbursing Agent shall not be bound to follow or agree to any amendment or supplement to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes) that would increase or materially change or affect the duties, obligations or liabilities of the Disbursing Agent (including without limitation the imposition or expansion of discretionary authority), or reduce, eliminate, limit or otherwise change any right, privilege or protection of the Disbursing Agent, or would otherwise materially and adversely affect the Disbursing Agent, in each case in its reasonable judgment, without the Disbursing Agent’s express written consent.
iii.
Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Required Lenders will promptly notify the Borrower, the Disbursing Agent and the Lenders of

| -55- |

(A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.13(b)(iv) below and (E) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.13(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.13(b). In the event that LIBOR or applicable Benchmark is not available on any determination date, then unless the Disbursing Agent is notified of a replacement Benchmark in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement within two (2) Business Days, the Disbursing Agent shall use the interest rate in effect for the immediately prior Interest Period.
iv.
Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. 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) (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBOR) and either (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time or (2) 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 Required Lenders 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 (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (2) 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 Required Lenders may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor, and the Required Lenders shall notify the Disbursing Agent of any such modification. In the event that the applicable Benchmark is not available on any determination date, then unless the Disbursing Agent is notified of a replacement Benchmark in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement within two (2) Business Days, the Disbursing Agent shall use the interest rate in effect for the immediately prior Interest Period.
v.
Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice from the Required Lenders of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar

| -56- |

Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

Section 2.14 Payments Generally.

(a)
General. All payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. All payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Disbursing Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Payment Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Any payment made by the Borrower hereunder that is received by the Disbursing Agent after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. The Disbursing Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders by wire transfer promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable 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 be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
(b)
Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.05(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 9.05(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 9.05(c).
(c)
Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
(d)
Insufficient Funds. Subject to Section 7.03, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Disbursing Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest,

| -57- |

Prepayment Premium and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal and Prepayment Premium then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Prepayment Premium then due to such parties.

Section 2.15 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(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 or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate);
ii.
subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, Loan principal, Commitments or other Obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
iii.
impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon the request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will promptly pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Disbursing Agent) of a written request therefor the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered on an after-tax basis.

| -58- |

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.15(a) or Section 2.15(b) and delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Disbursing Agent), shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.16 Taxes.

(a)
Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(b)
P ayments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)
Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Disbursing Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)
Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.16) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were

| -59- |

correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or Agent (with a copy to the Disbursing Agent), or by the Disbursing Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)
Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Disbursing Agent, within 30 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Disbursing Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Disbursing Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) 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 Disbursing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Disbursing Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Disbursing Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Disbursing Agent under this Section 2.16(e).
(f)
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Disbursing 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 Disbursing Agent.
(g)
Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Disbursing Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Disbursing Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Disbursing Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Disbursing Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Disbursing Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Disbursing Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.16(g)(ii)(A), Section 2.16(g)(ii)(B) and Section 2.16(g)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or

| -60- |

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,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Disbursing Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Disbursing Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Disbursing Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Disbursing Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies 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 any Loan Document, executed copies 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) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9 and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

| -61- |

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Disbursing Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Disbursing Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Disbursing Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Disbursing Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Disbursing Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Disbursing Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Disbursing 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 Section 2.16(g)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Disbursing Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 2.16(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.16(h) in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.16(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise

| -62- |

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 Section 2.16(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Disbursing Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.17 Breakage Payments. In the event of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (which notice has not been revoked in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement), (c) the making of a prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurodollar Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 submitted to the Borrower (with a copy to the Disbursing Agent) by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within three Business Days after receipt thereof. This Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.18 Pro Rata Treatment.

(a)
Each borrowing of Loans by the Borrower shall be allocated pro rata as among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(b)
Each repayment by the Borrower in respect of principal or interest on the Loans and each payment in respect of Prepayment Premium, fees or expenses payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders entitled thereto pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts then due and owing to such Lenders.

| -63- |

For the avoidance of doubt, any payment of the Reimbursement Obligations owing to any LC Provider shall be payable solely to such LC Provider (or its designee, as applicable, as set forth in the Reimbursement Agreement).
(c)

Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)
Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.16, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)
Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.19(a), or if any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Disbursing Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.16) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that any Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the assignment and delegation of its interests, rights and obligations if it does not execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption to the Disbursing Agent within one Business Day after having received a request therefor; provided, further, that:
i.
the Borrower shall have paid to the Disbursing Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 9.06;
ii.
such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.06(b) and Section 2.17) from the

| -64- |

assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
iii.
in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
iv.
such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and
v.
in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. This Section 2.19(b) shall only apply if there is a Lender other than the Second Fourth Amendment Effective Date Lender Lenders.

Premium which shall be due and payable as a result of the acceleration of such principal amounts within the time periods specified in Section 2.06(b)), without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and
(c)
(b) exercise on behalf of itself and, the Lenders and LC Provider all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 7.01(f) or Section 7.01(g), the obligation of each Lender to make Loans shall automatically terminate and the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid (including any Prepayment Premium which shall be due and payable as a result of the acceleration of such principal amounts within the time periods specified in Section 2.06(b)) shall automatically become due and payable without further act of the Disbursing Agent or any Lender.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, after the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 7.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 7.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in the following order:

ARTICLE VIII
THE DISBURSING AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 8.01 Appointment and Authority.

(a)
Each Lender (which term includes the LC Provider for purposes of this Article VIII) hereby designates and appoints U.S. Bank National Association to act as Disbursing Agent and Collateral Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and U.S. Bank National Association hereby accepts such appointment on the Closing Date subject to the terms hereof. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent in such capacities, through their agents or employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Concurrently herewith, each Lender directs the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent, and the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent are authorized, to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other related agreements in the forms presented to such Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender agrees that it will be subject to and bound by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 8.01(a) are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and no Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions (other than with respect to the Borrower’s consent rights under Section 8.06).
(b)
Each Lender agrees that in any instance in which this Agreement provides that an Agent’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, provide for the exercise of an Agent’s reasonable discretion, or provides to a similar effect, it shall not in its instructions (or, by refusing to provide instruction) to such Agent withhold its consent or exercise its discretion in an unreasonable manner. It is expressly agreed and acknowledged that each Agent is not guaranteeing performance of or assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any parties to the Security Documents. No Agent shall have liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of any party to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to such Agent, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on any Agent’s part of any of its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document that is caused by or results from any such

| -113- |

inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof.
(c)
For purposes of clarity, and without limiting any rights, protections, immunities or indemnities afforded to either Agent hereunder (including without limitation this Section 8.01(c)), phrases such as “satisfactory to the [Disbursing] [Collateral] Agent,” “approved by the [Disbursing] [Collateral] Agent,” “acceptable to the [Disbursing] [Collateral] Agent,” “as determined by the [Disbursing] [Collateral] Agent,” “in the [Disbursing] [Collateral] Agent’s discretion,” “selected by the [Disbursing] [Collateral] Agent,” “elected by the [Disbursing] [Collateral] Agent,” “requested by the [Disbursing] [Collateral] Agent,” and phrases of similar import that authorize and permit an Agent to approve, disapprove, determine, act or decline to act in its discretion shall be subject to such Agent receiving written direction from the Lenders (other than the LC Provider, in its capacity as such) or Required Lenders, as applicable, to take such action or to exercise such rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall require any Agent to exercise any discretionary acts.
(d)
Rights as a Lender. Any Person serving as the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include any Person serving as the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder in its capacity as a Lender. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 8.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a)
Neither the Disbursing Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, and no implied covenants, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Documents on the part of either Agent. The duties of the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent hereunder and in each other Loan Document shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent:
i.
shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
ii.
except as to any matters not expressly provided for in this Agreement (including collection of any promissory notes) or any matter that would require the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent to exercise any discretion hereunder or under any other Loan Document, shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, and shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders

| -114- |

(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders (excluding the LC Provider, in its capacity as such) as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such instructions shall be binding; provided that neither the Disbursing Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action (i) unless it is furnished with an indemnification satisfactory to such Agent with respect thereto or (ii) that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law; and
iii.
shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
b.
Neither the Disbursing Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders (excluding the LC Provider, in its capacity as such) as shall be necessary, or as the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided herein or under the other Loan Documents), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final judgment issued by a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal). The Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to an officer of the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent with direct responsibility for administration of this Agreement in writing by the Borrower or a Lender (excluding the LC Provider, in its capacity as such).
c.
The Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document.
d.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Requirements of Law. Instead, such term is used

| -115- |

merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
e.
Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and the notification to the Collateral Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrower. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider.
f.
Neither the Disbursing Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed, or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such action (including without limitation for refusing to exercise discretion or for withholding its consent in the absence of its receipt of, or resulting from a failure, delay or refusal on the part of any Lender to provide, written instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from any such Lender, as applicable). Neither the Disbursing Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any error of judgment made by it in good faith (or by any officer or other employee of such Agent) unless it shall be determined pursuant to a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the relevant facts. Nothing herein or in any other Loan Document or related documents shall obligate any Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds, or to take any action which in its reasonable judgment may cause it to incur any expense or financial or other liability for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction.
g.
Neither the Disbursing Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action. Any permissive grant of power to any Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty to act. Before acting hereunder, the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request, receive and rely upon such certificates and opinions as either of them may reasonably determine appropriate with respect to the satisfaction of any specified circumstances or conditions precedent to such action. In no event shall the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for: (i) delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control, including but not limited to, acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters, the unavailability of communications or computer facilities, the failure of equipment or interruption of communications or computer facilities, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility, (ii)

| -116- |

any delay, error omission or default of any mail, telegraph, cable or wireless agency or operator, or (iii) the acts or edicts of any government or governmental agency or other group or entity exercising governmental powers. Neither the Disbursing Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for interest on any money received by it. For the avoidance of doubt, the Disbursing Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s rights, protections, indemnities and immunities provided herein shall apply to such Agent for any actions taken or omitted to be taken under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents and any other related agreements in any of their respective capacities. The Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any related document if taking such action (A) would subject the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax, or (B) would require the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified.
h.
Neither the Disbursing Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any liability for any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of any Lender or Loan Party to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to such Agent, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall not have any liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on such Agent’s part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof.
i.
The Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents such Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant. Without limiting Section 8.03(a)(ii), if the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent shall request any such instructions, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders (excluding the LC Provider, in its capacity as such) as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lenders shall not have any right of action whatesoever against the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders (excluding the LC Provider, in its capacity as such) as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents).
j.
The Disbursing Agent shall not be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of LIBOR, Term SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark), or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or

| -117- |

whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, (iii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or what Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of the foregoing. The Disbursing Agent shall not be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Agreement as a result of the unavailability of LIBOR, Term SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark) and absence of a designated replacement Benchmark, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, including without limitation the Required Lenders and the Borrower, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement and reasonably required for the performance of such duties. The Disbursing Agent shall not have any liability for any interest rate published by any publication that is the source for determining the interest rates of the Loans, including but not limited to the Reuters Screen (or any successor source), or for any rates compiled by the ICE Benchmark Administration or any successor thereto, or for any rates published on any publicly available source, including without limitation the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Website, or in any of the foregoing cases for any delay, error or inaccuracy in the publication of any such rates, or for any subsequent correction or adjustment thereto.

Section 8.04 Reliance by Disbursing Agent. Each of the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. 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 Disbursing Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Disbursing Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each of the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent may consult, at the expense of the Borrower, with legal counsel of its own choosing (who may, but need not, be counsel for the Borrower or any Lender), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants, advisors or experts. Neither Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final judgment issued by a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (i) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement,

| -118- |

the other Loan Documents or any related documents on the part of the Loan Parties or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Loan Parties; (iii) shall not be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, ownership, transferability, perfection, priority or value of any Collateral, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any related document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (iv) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by relying on, acting upon (or by refraining from action in reliance on) any notice, consent, certificate, instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or other instrument or writing (which may be delivered by telecopier, email, cable or telex, if acceptable to it) believed by it to be genuine and believed by it to be signed or sent by the proper party or parties. Neither Agent shall have any liability to any of the Loan Parties or any Lender or any other Person for any of the Loan Parties’ or any Lender’s, as the case may be, performance of, or failure to perform, any of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each of the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be afforded all of the rights, powers, immunities and indemnities set forth in this Agreement in all of the other Loan Documents to which it is a signatory as if such rights, powers, immunities and indemnities were specifically set out in each such other Loan Document.

Section 8.05 Delegation of Duties. Each of the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply, without limiting the foregoing, to their respective activities as the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent. The Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment.

Section 8.06 Resignation of the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent.

(a)
The Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent may at any time give written notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which (i) shall be a financial institution with an office in New York, or an Affiliate of any such financial institution with an office in New York, and (ii) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be acceptable to the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the

| -119- |

“Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)
With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any accrued but unpaid fees, unreimbursed expenses or any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Disbursing Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent (other than any rights to accrued but unpaid fees, unreimbursed expenses or any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent), and the retiring Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Disbursing Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent was acting as Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.
(c)
Any resignation by U.S. Bank National Association, as Disbursing Agent, shall also constitute its resignation as Collateral Agent.

Section 8.07 Non-Reliance on Disbursing Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Disbursing Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Disbursing Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Neither Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or

| -120- |

warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or statement delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, or of the financial condition of any Loan Party, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the financial condition of any Loan Party, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

Section 8.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Agent shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Disbursing Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Lender hereunder or thereunder.

Section 8.09 Disbursing Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Disbursing 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 Disbursing Agent shall have made any demand on the 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 and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agents (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agents and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agents under Section 2.05 and Section 9.05) 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 judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Disbursing Agent and, in the event that the Disbursing Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including Section 2.05 and Section 9.05.

(a)
Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent to:
i.
release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (x) upon Payment in Full, (y) that is sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other Disposition permitted under the Loan Documents or (z) subject to Section 9.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or such other number or percentage of Lenders (excluding the LC Provider, in its capacity as such) required hereby;

subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(h); and
iii.
release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (x) upon Payment in Full or (y) if such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under and in accordance with the Loan Documents.

Any such release of guarantee obligations or security interests shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Any such release of Liens shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In no event shall the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent be obligated to execute or deliver any document evidencing any release, subordination or re-conveyance without receipt of a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Loan Party or Loan Parties disposing of such property certifying that such release, subordination or re-conveyance, as applicable, complies with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and that all conditions precedent to such release, subordination or re-conveyance have been complied with. Upon request by the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Disbursing Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s authority to release, subordinate or re-convey its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 8.10.

(b)
The Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby disclaim any representation or warranty to the Lenders concerning, and shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any

| -122- |

certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral. Neither Agent makes any representation as to the value, sufficiency or condition of the Collateral or any part thereof, as to the title of the Loan Parties to the Collateral, or as to the security afforded by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Loan Document. Neither Agent shall be responsible for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of Taxes, charges, assessments or liens upon the Collateral. Neither Agent shall be responsible for the maintenance of the Collateral, except as expressly provided in the immediately following sentence when the Collateral Agent has possession of the Collateral. Neither Agent shall have any duty to the Lenders as to any Collateral in its possession or in the possession of someone under its control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of such Agent or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except the duty to accord such of the Collateral as may be in its possession substantially the same care as it accords similar assets held for the benefit of third parties and the duty to account for monies received by it. Neither Agent shall be under an obligation independently to request or examine insurance coverage with respect to any Collateral. Neither Agent shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any bank, depositary bank, custodian, independent counsel of any Loan Party or any other party selected by such Agent with reasonable care or selected by any other party hereto that may hold or possess Collateral or documents related to Collateral, and neither Agent shall be required to monitor the performance of any such Persons holding Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Agent shall be responsible to the Lenders for the perfection of any Lien or for the filing, form, content or renewal of any UCC financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and such other documents or instruments. The Lenders shall be solely responsible for, and shall arrange for, the filing and continuation of financing statements or other filing or recording documents or instruments for the perfection of security interests in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the preparation, form, content, sufficiency or adequacy of any such financing statements.
(c)
In connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of, or foreclosure or realization upon, any Real Property-related Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to take title to or possession of Real Property in its own name, or otherwise in a form or manner that may, in its reasonable judgment, expose it to liability. In the event that the Collateral Agent deems that it may be considered an “owner or operator” under any Environmental Laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent to incur, or be exposed to, any Environmental Liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as the Collateral Agent subject to the terms and conditions of Section 8.06 or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Agent will not be liable to any Person for any Environmental Liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or

| -123- |

Release or threatened Release of any Materials of Environmental Concern into the environment.
(d)
In connection with any tax affidavit or similar instrument required to be filed or delivered by the Collateral Agent in connection with any Mortgage, the Collateral Agent shall complete such tax affidavit or similar instrument pursuant to the information provided to it in a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the information provided to it in such certificate and shall not be liable to the Loan Parties, the Lenders or any other Person for its acting in reliance thereon. The Borrower shall indemnify the Collateral Agent for any losses the Collateral Agent may incur as a result of its reliance on such certificate of the Borrower, including without limitation, any losses relating to any incorrect or misleading information provided in any tax affidavit based upon information contained in the certificate of the Borrower.
(e)
Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Disbursing Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) the LC Provider, solely in its capacity as such, shall not have any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or to direct the Collateral Agent with respect thereto, (ii) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or any other Security Document, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under any of the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, (iii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other Disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other Disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or Disposition, to use and apply any or all of the Obligations (other than Obligations owing to the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent (or such acquisition vehicle) at such sale or other Disposition.

Section 8.11 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any Requirement of Law, the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent may deduct or withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of

| -124- |

any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Disbursing Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties, additions to Tax or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to such Agent under this Section 8.11. The agreements in this Section 8.11 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

Section 8.12 No Reliance on Agents’ Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on either Agent to carry out such Lender’s or its Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other anti-terrorism law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with the Borrower, its Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any record keeping, (c) any comparisons with government lists, (d) any customer notices or (e) any other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

Section 8,13 Erroneous Payments. If a payment is made by the Disbursing Agent (or its Affiliates) in error (whether known to the recipient or not) or if a Lender or another recipient of funds is not otherwise entitled to receive such funds at such time of such payment or from such Person in accordance with the Loan Documents, then such Lender or recipient shall forthwith on demand repay to the Disbursing Agent the portion of such payment that was made in error (or otherwise not intended (as determined by the Disbursing Agent) to be received) in the amount made available by the Disbursing Agent (or its Affiliate) to such Lender or recipient, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Disbursing Agent (or its Affiliate) to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Disbursing Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Disbursing Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender and other party hereto waives the discharge for value defense in respect of any such payment.

i.
The Borrower agrees that the Disbursing Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on the Platform.
ii.
The Platform and any Approved Electronic Communications are provided “as is” and “as available.” None of the Agents nor any of their respective Related Parties warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Platform or any Approved Electronic Communications and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Approved Electronic Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent or any of their respective Related Parties in connection with the Platform or the Approved Electronic Communications. Each party hereto agrees that no Agent has any responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Approved Electronic Communication or otherwise required for the Platform.

| -129- |

v.
Each Loan Party understands that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution and agrees and assumes the risks associated with such electronic distribution, except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Disbursing Agent, in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment.

The Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be Public Lenders and, if documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.02 or otherwise are being distributed through the Platform, any document or notice that the Borrower has indicated contains Non-Public Information shall not be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for Public Lenders. The Borrower agrees to clearly designate all information provided to the Disbursing Agent by or on behalf of the Loan Parties which is suitable to make available to Public Lenders. If the Borrower has not indicated whether a document or notice delivered pursuant to Section 5.02 or otherwise contains Non-Public Information, the Disbursing Agent reserves the right to post such document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Lenders who wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective securities.
(e)
Public Side Information Contacts. Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to 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 Requirements of Law, including the U.S. Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Approved Electronic Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of the U.S. Federal or state securities Laws.

Section 9.03 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. None of the Agents or the Lenders shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.01), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or Lender, any right, power or privilege

| -130- |

hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Agent or Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Agent or Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.

The provisions of Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17, Section 9.05, Section 9.19, Section 9.21, Section 9.22 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Payment in Full, the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the resignation or removal of either Agent or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

This Section 9.05(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c)
Reimbursement by the Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly indemnify the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent or pay any amount required under Section 9.05(a) or Section 9.05(b) to be paid by it to the Disbursing Agent

| -132- |

or Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Disbursing Agent and the Collateral Agent from and against any all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its agents and attorneys, whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent in performing their respective duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and pay to the Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent or any such sub-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 based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); 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 Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Disbursing Agent or Collateral Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 9.05(c) are several and not joint.
(d)

| -135- |

assigning Lender’s or LC Provider’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or the Reimbursement Agreement, as the case may be, such Lender or LC Provider shall cease to be a party hereto or thereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 9.05 of this Agreement and Section 2(a)(v) and Section 4 of the Reimbursement Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any LC Provider) of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.06(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.06(d).

(c)
Register. The Disbursing Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and LC Provider, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations owing to, each Lender and LC Provider pursuant to the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Disbursing Agent, the LC Provider and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder and/or the LC Provider under the Reimbursement Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and, any Lender and the LC Provider during business hours of the Disbursing Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Disbursing Agent shall have no obligation to maintain, nor shall it have any liability in respect of maintaining, the Register with respect to assignments of the LC Provider role or Reimbursement Obligations prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.
(d)
Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Disbursing Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or a Disqualified Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it, but excluding the Reimbursement Obligations); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.05(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participants.

| -136- |

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (i), (ii) and (v), of the proviso to Section 9.01(a) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements in Section 2.16(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.06(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under Section 9.06(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or Section 2.16 with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(a) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.07(b) as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 9.07(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Disbursing Agent (in its capacity as Disbursing Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f)
Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 9.07 Sharing of Payments by Lenders; Set‑off.

(a)
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate

| -137- |

amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Disbursing Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:
i.
if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
ii.
the provisions of this Section 9.07(a) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or (y) 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 Borrower or any of its Affiliates, as to which the provision of this Section 9.07(a) shall apply.

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(b)
Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to Holdings or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each of Holdings and the Borrower, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such party to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Holdings and the Borrower to such Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Lender against Holdings and the Borrower, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under any other Loan Document or otherwise, as such Lender may elect, whether or not any Lender has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured; provided that such Lender complies with Section 9.07(a). Each Lender exercising any right of set-off shall notify Holdings and the Borrower promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Lender of the proceeds thereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.07 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

| -142- |

Section 9.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY, COMMON LAW, STATUTE OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

Section 9.17 PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender, the Disbursing Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) and the Collateral Agent hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name, address and taxpayer information number of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender, the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by any Lender, the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent, provide all documentation and other information that such Lender, the Disbursing Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.

Section 9.18 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable Requirements of Law, shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due

| -143- |

hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Borrower shall pay to Disbursing Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the Lenders and the Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Borrower.

Section 9.19 Payments Set Aside.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agents and the Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Section 9.21 Judgment Currency. In respect of any judgment or order given or made for any amount due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document that is expressed and paid in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than Dollars, the Loan Parties will indemnify the Disbursing Agent and any Lender against any loss incurred by them as a result of any variation as between (i) the rate of exchange at which the Dollar amount is converted into the judgment currency for the purpose of such judgment or order and (ii) the rate of exchange, as quoted by the Disbursing Agent or by a known dealer in the judgment currency that is designated by the Required Lenders, at which the Disbursing Agent or such Lender is able to purchase Dollars with the amount of the judgment currency actually received by the Disbursing Agent or such Lender. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Loan Parties and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into Dollars.

Section 9.22 No Publicity. Except as otherwise permitted herein, each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees not to disclose to third parties (other than Persons who have a “need to know” in connection with the Transactions), the existence or terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the identities of the Lenders, unless required by law or with the written permission of the Lenders. The Borrower shall direct its Related Parties to comply with the terms of this section, and the Borrower will be responsible for any breach of the terms of this paragraph by its Related Parties. This provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees that legal remedies available at law or in equity to the Lenders, including injunctive relief, may be appropriate in the event of a breach of this provision by Holdings or the Borrower.

Section 9.23 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the Liens securing the Revolving Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) as and only to the extent set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Collateral or assignment of claims forms, until the occurrence of the Payment In Full (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) of the Revolving Obligations, to the extent set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, any obligation of any Loan Party under any Security Document or this Agreement with respect to the delivery or control of any Collateral, the

| -145- |

notation of any lien on any certificate of title, bill of lading or other document, the giving of any notice to any bailee or other Person, the provision of voting rights, the obtaining of any consent of any Person or the provision of any assignment of claims form shall be subject and subordinate to the rights of the Revolving Loan Lender pursuant to the Revolving Loan Documents (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement). To the extent that compliance by any Loan Party with any actions specified in the immediately preceding sentence would (x) conflict with the exercise of or direction by the Revolving Loan Lender of comparable rights, (y) require delivery of Collateral or provision of assignment of claims forms which can only be delivered to one Person or (z) be, under Requirements of Law, prohibited or unable to be completed, then the applicable Loan Party shall not have to take any such actions so long as the applicable Loan Party is, with respect to clause (x), complying with the exercise of, or direction by, the Revolving Loan Lender, with respect to clause (y), has delivered such Collateral or assignment of claims forms to the Revolving Loan Lender or any of its agents, and, with respect to clause (z), only so long as Requirements of Law would prevent such compliance. Any reference herein to the Lien of the Collateral Agent being “first priority” or words of similar effect shall mean that such Lien is a first priority Lien, subject only to the prior Lien securing the Revolving Obligations to the extent set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement and any other Permitted Prior Liens. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
