Item 1.01 Entry into a Material
Definitive Agreement.
On January 26,
2024, Sirius XM Radio Inc. (“Sirius XM”), our subsidiary, entered into an amendment (“Amendment No. 9”)
to its existing credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent, and other agents and lenders (the
“Credit Agreement”).
Prior to Amendment
No. 9, the Credit Agreement consisted of a (i) $1.75 billion senior secured revolving credit facility, from which Sirius XM could
borrow and reborrow from time to time and (ii) a $500 million incremental term loan, borrowings from each of which Sirius XM could
use for working capital and other general corporate purchases, including share repurchases, dividends and the financing of acquisitions.
Amendment No. 9 provides for certain changes to the Credit Agreement, including the addition of a $1.1 billion delayed draw incremental
term loan (the “Incremental Term Loan”) arranged by BofA Securities, Inc., Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Subject to the conditions described in Amendment No. 9, the Incremental Term Loan shall be available
to be drawn by Sirius XM in up to three separate drawings until December 31, 2024. The obligations under the Credit Agreement remain
guaranteed by Sirius XM’s material domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by a lien on substantially all of Sirius XM’s
assets and the assets of its material domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions.
The Credit Agreement
contains incremental facilities and related debt and lien baskets, which allow Sirius XM to increase or incur new commitments under
the revolving facility and/or incur further new term loans or other forms of indebtedness, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement.
Certain of the
participants in the Credit Agreement and their respective affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment
banking, advisory roles and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us and/or our affiliates. These participants
have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.
The description
of Amendment No. 9 contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 9, a copy of which is
filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or
words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement will mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this
Amendment (i.e., the Amended Credit Agreement).
(b) The Credit Agreement and each of the other
Credit Documents, as specifically amended by this Amendment are and will continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby
in all respects ratified and confirmed by each Loan Party and each Loan Party reaffirms its obligations under the Credit Documents
to which it is party and the grant of its Liens on the Collateral made by it pursuant to the Collateral Documents. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do and will continue to secure
the payment of all Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Credit Documents, in each case, as amended by this Amendment (i.e.,
the Amended Credit Agreement), including all Obligations related to the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans.
(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness
of this Amendment will not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender
or the Administrative Agent under any of the Credit Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Credit Documents
or serve to effect a novation of the Obligations. On and after the Amendment No. 9 Effective Date, this Amendment will for all
purposes constitute a Credit Document.
6.
Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by different parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts,
each of which, when so executed and delivered shall be an original and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and
the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including
by portable document format (“.pdf”) or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
hereof. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of
like import in or relating to this Amendment shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures (as defined below), deliveries or
the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually
executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be. “Electronic
Signature” means any electronic symbol or process attached to, or associated with, any contract or other record and adopted
by a person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record.
7.
Severability. If any term of this Amendment or any application thereof is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the validity of other terms of this Amendment or any other application of such term will in no way be affected thereby.
8.
Entire Agreement. This Amendment sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to
the amendment to the Credit Agreement contemplated hereby and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether written
or oral, between the parties hereto relating to such amendment. No representation, promise, inducement or statement of intention
has been made by any party that is not embodied in this Amendment, and no party will be bound by or liable for any alleged representation,
promise, inducement or statement of intention not set forth herein.
9.
Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Amendment shall be construed
in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, and the other provisions of Sections 9.10 and 9.11 of the
Credit Agreement are incorporated herein and apply to this Amendment mutatis mutandis (except that any references to “Agreement”

forma basis and Consolidated Operating Cash Flow shall be calculated as if the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary had not

amount equal to the Consolidated Operating Cash Flow (if negative) directly attributable thereto for the Test Period;
(d) If since the beginning of the Test
Period, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger or otherwise) shall have made an Investment in any Restricted Subsidiary
(or any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) or an acquisition of assets that constitutes all or substantially all of
an operating unit of a business, Consolidated Operating Cash Flow for the Test Period shall be increased by an amount equal to
the Consolidated Operating Cash Flow (if positive) directly attributable to such Investment, Restricted Subsidiary or assets that
are the subject of such transaction for the Test Period or decreased by an amount equal to the Consolidated Operating Cash Flow
(if negative) directly attributable thereto for the Test Period; and
(e) If since the beginning of the Test
Period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary since the beginning of such Test Period) shall have made any disposition, any Investment or acquisition of assets that
would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (c) or (d) above if made by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary during

pro forma effect is to be given to an acquisition of assets, the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount
of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations
relating thereto shall be determined in accordance with GAAP in good faith by a Financial Officer of the Borrower. If any Indebtedness
bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as
if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any
Swap Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness if such Swap Agreement has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). If any Indebtedness
is Incurred under a revolving credit facility and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be
calculated based on the average daily balance of such Indebtedness for the four fiscal quarters subject to the pro forma calculation
to the extent such Indebtedness was Incurred solely for working capital purposes. For purposes of determining the allocated amount
of Indebtedness or Liens Incurred in any transaction not prohibited herein, the amount of any fixed dollar “basket”
usage (including any borrowing under any Revolving Facility or under any Incremental CreditTerm
Facility) under any provision of this Agreement made substantially simultaneously with, or contemporaneously with,
any “ratio” test hereunder will be disregarded when determining pro forma compliance with such “ratio”.

of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument
or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented, restated, amended and restated, extended or otherwise modified (subject
to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person

and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not
to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules shall be construed

(a) In connection with any action being

as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default or Event of Default,
as applicable, exists on the date on which the definitive acquisition agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has exercised its option under the first sentence of this clause (a), and any Default
or Event of Default occurs following the date on which the definitive acquisition agreements for the applicable Limited Condition
Transaction were entered into and prior to or on the date of the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such
Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action
being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.
(b) In connection with any action being
taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:
(i) determining compliance
with any provision of this Agreement that requires the calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio or the Senior Secured Leverage
Ratio or any other ratio or test requiring pro forma compliance; or
(ii) testing baskets or any
other calculation set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated Operating Cash Flow
or Consolidated Total Assets);
in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s
election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”),
the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be (x) the date on which the definitive
agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into or (y) the date of any prepayment, redemption, repurchase,
defeasance, acquisition or other payment (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the
Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence
of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the Test Period most recently ended
on or prior to the applicable LCT Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance
with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the
Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT
Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated
Operating Cash Flow or Consolidated Total Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction,
on or prior to the date of consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have
been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction,
then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or test with respect to the Incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens
(including Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments), or the making of distributions or Restricted Payments,
Investments, Asset Dispositions or other dispositions not constituting Asset Dispositions, mergers, dispositions of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Borrower or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCT Test Date
and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for
such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such
ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in
connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

will be deemed to have been Incurred in reliance only on the exception set forth in Section 6.01(a) and (y) all Liens outstanding
under the Credit Documents and any Lien created or assumed to Refinance (in whole or in part) such Liens will be deemed to have

determining compliance with Article VI with respect to the amount of any Indebtedness, Lien, Asset Disposition, Restricted Payment,
transaction with Affiliates, Sales and Leasebacks or Investment Incurred, created, made or assumed in a currency other than Dollars,
no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after
the time such Indebtedness, Lien, Asset Disposition, Restricted Payment, transaction with Affiliates, Sales and Leasebacks or
Investment is Incurred, created, made or assumed.
SECTION 1.08 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents,
in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s
laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different
Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new
Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence
by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.
SECTION 1.09 Interest Rates; Benchmark
Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated
in dollars or an alternative currency may be derived from an interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in
the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Section 2.21(b) provides
a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility
for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related
to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate
thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement
reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing interest rate being replaced
or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative
Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any interest
rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) and/or any
relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent may select information
sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any component thereof,
or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability
to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive,
incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in
equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

The Credits
SECTION 2.01 Revolving Commitments
and,
2022 Incremental Term Commitments and
2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitments.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make to the Borrower
revolving credit loans denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars (“Revolving Loans”) in an aggregate principal
amount that will not result at the time of such Borrowing in either (x) the amount of such Lender’s Outstanding Revolving
Credit under the Revolving Commitments exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (y) the amount of Revolving Loans
denominated in Canadian Dollars exceeding C$250,000,000. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Revolving
Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof. The Revolving Loans may from time to time be (x) prior to the Automatic SOFR Conversion Date, Eurocurrency
Loans or ABR Loans and (y) on or following the Automatic SOFR Conversion Date, Term Benchmark Loans, Eurocurrency Loans (solely
with respect to Revolving Loans in Canadian Dollars) or ABR Loans, in each case, as determined by the Borrower and notified to
the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.03 and 2.05; provided that, notwithstanding anything set forth in
herein or any
other Loan Document to the contrary, interest on all Eurocurrency
Revolving Loans in Dollars outstanding as of the Automatic SOFR Conversion Date shall continue to accrue interest at the LIBO
Rate as in effect immediately prior to the Automatic SOFR Conversion Date, be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and remain outstanding hereunder as Eurocurrency Revolving Loans until the expiration of the then-current Interest Period applicable
to such Eurocurrency Revolving Loans, at which time interest shall be determined at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate after giving effect
to the Automatic SOFR Conversion Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may not request any Eurocurrency Revolving Loans
in Dollars for a borrowing on and following the Automatic SOFR Conversion Date.
(i) Each Revolving Loan under
the Revolving Commitments shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Lenders thereunder
ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. The failure of any Revolving Lender to make any Revolving Loan
required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the
Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders are several and no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for any other Revolving
Lender’s failure to make Revolving Loans as required.
(ii) At the commencement of
each Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Revolving Borrower or Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in
an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (or an integral multiple of C$1,000,000
and not less than C$5,000,000 in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars). At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing
is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000
(or an integral multiple of C$1,000,000 and not less than C$5,000,000 in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars); provided
that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the Total Revolving
Commitments. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall
not at any time be more than a total of thirteen (13) Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowings and Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowings
outstanding.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein and in the Sixth Amendment, each 2022 Incremental Term Lender with a 2022 Incremental Term Commitment severally
agrees to make to the Borrower the 2022 Incremental Term Loans, which (i) shall be incurred pursuant to a single drawing on the
Sixth Amendment Effective Date, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, and (iii) shall not exceed for any such 2022 Incremental
Term Lender at any time of any incurrence thereof, the 2022 Incremental Term Commitment of such 2022 Incremental Term Lender on
the Sixth Amendment Effective Date (before giving effect to the termination thereof on such date pursuant to Section 2.06(b)).
Once repaid, the 2022 Incremental Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The 2022 Incremental Term Loans may from time to time be Term
Benchmark Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections
2.03 and 2.05.
(i) At the commencement of
each Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Borrowing on the 2022 Incremental Term Loans, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate
amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. At the time that each ABR Borrowing of the 2022
Incremental Term Loans is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and
not less than $5,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing of the 2022 Incremental Term Loans may be in an aggregate amount
that is equal to the entire unused balance of the 2022 Incremental Term Commitments. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class
may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of one (1) Term Benchmark
Borrowing of the 2022 Incremental Term Loans outstanding.
(c) Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Ninth Amendment, each 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lender with a
2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitment severally agrees to make to the Borrower the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term
Loans, which (i) shall be incurred in up to three (3) separate drawings during the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Availability
Period, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, and (iii) shall not exceed for any such 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lender
at any time of any incurrence thereof, the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitment of such 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw
Term Lender available on the relevant 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Funding Date.
Once
repaid, the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be reborrowed. The 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans may from
time to time be Term Benchmark Loans or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance
with Sections 2.03 and 2.05.
(i) At
the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Borrowing on the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000. At the time
that each ABR Borrowing of the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount
that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing of the 2024 Incremental
Delayed Draw Term Loans may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the 2024 Incremental Delayed
Draw Term Commitments. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there
shall not at any time be more than a total of six (6) Term Benchmark Borrowings of the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans
outstanding.
SECTION 2.02 Incremental Revolving
Commitments and Incremental Term Loans.
(a) The Borrower and one or more Lenders
(including New Lenders subject to clause (d) below) may from time to time agree that such Lenders shall Incur Incremental Revolving
Commitments (which shall have the effect of increasing the amount of the existing Revolving Commitments) by executing and delivering
to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Revolving Commitment Activation Notice specifying (x) the amount of the Incremental
Revolving Commitments and (y) the applicable Incremental Revolving Commitment Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) the aggregate amount of
(A) the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments (after giving pro forma effect thereto and the use of the
proceeds thereof) Incurred pursuant to this Section 2.02 plus (B) the aggregate principal amount of Permitted Additional
Debt Incurred under Section 6.01(p)(ii)(A) shall not exceed, as of the date of Incurrence, the sum of (x) the greater of (1) the
Incremental Base Amount and (2) 100% of Consolidated Operating Cash Flow for the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to
the date of any such Incurrence (calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Incurrence as if such Incurrence
and any transaction to be consummated in connection therewith had occurred on the first day of such Test Period and assuming that
all Incremental Revolving Commitments then outstanding were fully drawn) plus (y) the amount of voluntary repayments or
prepayments of Incremental Term Loans, Indebtedness incurred under Section 6.01(p) and other Indebtedness that is secured on an
equal priority basis with the Obligations and the amount of permanent reductions of Revolving Commitments, plus (z) an

to such Incurrence (and after giving effect to any transaction to be consummated in connection therewith and assuming that all
Incremental Revolving Commitments then outstanding were fully drawn), the Borrower would be in compliance with a Senior Secured
Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the date of the Incurrence of any such
Incremental Revolving Commitments, calculated on a pro forma basis, as if such Incurrence (and transaction) had occurred on the
first day of such Test Period, that is no greater than 3.50 to 1.00; provided that Incremental Term Loans may be Incurred
without regard to such Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and without regard as to whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing to the extent that the Net Cash Proceeds from such Incremental Term Loans are used on the date of incurrence
of such Incremental Term Loans (or substantially concurrently therewith) to prepay any other outstanding Incremental Term Loans;
(ii) subject to Section 1.06,
no Incremental Revolving Commitments may be Incurred if a Default or Event of Default (or, in the case of Incremental Revolving
Commitments Incurred to finance any Investment being made in connection with an acquisition of Capital Stock or assets of another
Person, no Event of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i)) would be in existence immediately before or after giving pro
forma effect thereto and to any concurrent transactions and any substantially concurrent use of the proceeds thereof,
(iii) any Incremental Revolving
Commitment shall be on the same terms, pursuant to the same documentation, and treated the same as the existing Revolving Facility
(including with respect to maturity date thereof) and shall be considered to be part of the Revolving Facility (it being understood
that, if required to consummate an Incremental Revolving Commitment, (x) the Applicable Rates and Commitment Fee Rates on the
existing Revolving Facility may be increased and additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such
Incremental Revolving Commitment and (y) any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant may be added without any consent
of any Person so long as the Administrative Agent shall have been given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended
to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of the entire Revolving Facility);
(iv) unless otherwise agreed
by the Administrative Agent, (A) each increase effected pursuant to this paragraph shall be in a minimum amount of at least $100,000,000
and (B) no more than four (4) Incremental Revolving Commitment Activation Notices may be delivered by the Borrower after the Fifth
Amendment Effective Date; and
(v) no existing Lender shall
have any obligation to incur any Incremental Revolving Commitments unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion and the Borrower
shall not be obligated to offer any existing Lender the opportunity to provide any Incremental Revolving Commitment.
(b) The Borrower and any one or more
Lenders (including New Lenders subject to clause (d) below) may from time to time agree that such Lenders shall make Incremental
Term Loans by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Facility Activation Notice specifying (A)
the principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans, (B) the applicable Incremental Term Facility Closing Date, (C) the applicable
Incremental Term Maturity Date; provided that no more than the greater of (x) $500,000,000 and (y) 25% of Consolidated
Operating Cash Flow for the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the date of such Incurrence (calculated on a pro forma
basis after giving effect to such Incurrence as if such Incurrence and any related transactions had occurred on the first day
of such Test Period) of Incremental Term Loans may have a final maturity date prior to the Latest Maturity Date;
provided further that notwithstanding the immediately preceding proviso (but without duplication of the amount set forth
therein), the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans may have a final maturity date prior to the Latest Maturity Date,
(D) the amortization schedule for such Incremental Term Loans, which shall comply with Section 2.07(a), (E) the currency, Applicable
Rate and any rate floors for such Incremental Term Loans, (F) the proposed original issue or other funding discounts, upfront
fees or other fees, (G) any Borrower and Borrower affiliate loan purchase provisions and (H) the prepayment terms (which may include
customary excess cash flow sweeps, prepayments with the net cash proceeds of dispositions or casualty events, issuances of Capital
Stock or Incurrences of Indebtedness) and premiums, if any, applicable to such Incremental Term Loans, and the manner in which
prepayments of such Incremental Term Loans shall be applied to the installments thereof and as between Classes of Incremental
Term Loans). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
(i) the aggregate amount of
(A) the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments (after giving pro forma effect thereto and the use of the
proceeds thereof) Incurred pursuant to this Section 2.02 plus (B) the aggregate principal amount of Permitted Additional Debt
Incurred under Section 6.01(p)(ii)(A) shall not exceed, as of the date of Incurrence, (x) the greater of (1) the Incremental Base
Amount and (2) 100% of Consolidated Operating Cash Flow for the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the date of any
such Incurrence (calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Incurrence as if such Incurrence and any transaction
to be consummated in connection therewith had occurred on the first day of such Test Period and assuming that all Incremental
Revolving Commitments then outstanding were fully drawn) plus (y) the amount of voluntary repayments or prepayments of
Incremental Term Loans, Indebtedness incurred under Section 6.01(p) and other Indebtedness that is secured on a pari passu basis
with the Obligations and the amount of permanent reductions of Revolving Commitments plus (z) an aggregate additional amount
of Incremental Term Loans, such that, subject to Section 1.06, after giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence (and after giving
effect to any transaction to be consummated in connection therewith and assuming that all Incremental Revolving Commitments then
outstanding were fully drawn), the Borrower would be in compliance with a Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as of the last day of
the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the date of the Incurrence of any such Incremental Term Loans, calculated on
a pro forma basis, as if such Incurrence (and transaction) had
occurred on the first day of such Test Period, that
is no greater than 3.50 to 1.00; provided that Incremental Term Loans may be incurred without regard to such Senior Secured
Leverage Ratio and without regard as to whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to the extent that
the Net Cash Proceeds from such Incremental Term Loans are used on the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans (or substantially
concurrently therewith) to prepay any other outstanding Incremental Term Loans;
(ii) subject to Section 1.06,
no Incremental Term Loans may be incurred if a Default or Event of Default (or, in the case of Incremental Term Loans Incurred
to finance any Investment being made in connection with an acquisition of Capital Stock or assets of another Person, no Event
of Default under Section 7.01(a), (b), (h) or (i)) would be in existence immediately before or after giving pro forma effect thereto
and to any concurrent transactions and any substantially concurrent use of the proceeds thereof;
(iii) Incremental Term Loans
may otherwise have terms and conditions different from those of the Revolving Facility; provided that (x) except with respect
to matters contemplated by clauses (A)(subject to clause (i) above) through (H) above, any differences shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent to the extent such differences are not consistent with the requirements of clause (b) of the definition
of “Permitted Additional Debt”; provided that a certificate of a Financial Officer of the Borrower delivered
to the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days prior to the incurrence, issuance or other obtaining of such Indebtedness,
together with a reasonably detailed description of the material terms and conditions of such Indebtedness or drafts of the documentation
relating thereto, stating that the Borrower has determined in good faith that such terms and conditions satisfy the foregoing
requirement shall be conclusive evidence that such terms and conditions satisfy the foregoing requirement unless the Administrative
Agent notifies the Borrower within such five Business Day period that it disagrees with such determination (including a reasonable
description of the basis upon which it disagrees);
(iv) unless otherwise agreed
by the Administrative Agent, (A) no Class of Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount less than $100,000,000
and (B) no more than four (4) Classes of Incremental Term Loans may be outstanding under this Agreement at any time;
(v) no existing Lender shall
have any obligation to make any Incremental Term Loans unless it agrees to do so in its sole discretion and the Borrower shall
not be obligated to offer any existing Lender the opportunity to provide any Incremental Term Loans; and
(vi) any Incremental Term
Loan that is repaid may not be reborrowed.
(c) Each Incremental Revolving Commitment
and/or Incremental Term Loan shall have the same guarantees as and be secured on an equal priority basis by the collateral securing
the Revolving Facility and constitute “Obligations” pursuant to the existing Credit Documents.
(d) Any additional bank, financial institution
or other Person that, with the consent of the Borrower, elects to become a “Lender” under this Agreement in connection
with any transaction described in Section 2.02(a) or 2.02(b) shall execute a New Lender Supplement (each, a “New Lender
Supplement”), substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1, whereupon such bank, financial institution or other Person
(a “New Lender”) shall become a Lender for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto
and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Solely with respect to any
Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Administrative Agent shall have consent rights (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed) with respect to such New Lender, if such consent would be required under Section 9.05 for an assignment of Revolving
Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, to such New Lender, and solely with respect to any Incremental Revolving Commitments,
the Issuing Bank shall have consent rights (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) with respect to such New
Lender, if such consent would be required under Section 9.05 for an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as
applicable, to such New Lender.
(e) With respect to Incremental Revolving
Commitments, each Lender that is acquiring an Incremental Revolving Commitment on an Incremental Revolving Commitment Closing
Date shall make a Revolving Loan, the proceeds of which will be used to prepay the Revolving Loans of the Revolving Lenders (other
than such Lender and the other Lenders acquiring an Incremental Revolving Commitment) outstanding immediately
prior to such Incremental Revolving Commitment Closing Date,
so that, after giving effect thereto, each Revolving Lender (including each Lender that is acquiring an Incremental Revolving
Commitment) holds its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Loans outstanding after giving effect to such Incremental
Revolving Commitment on such Incremental Revolving Commitment Closing Date. If there is a new Revolving Borrowing on such Incremental
Revolving Commitment Closing Date, the Revolving Lenders after giving effect to such Incremental Revolving Commitments shall make
such Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.01.
(f) Commitments in respect of Incremental
Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loans shall become Commitments (or in the case of an Incremental Revolving Commitments
to be provided by an existing Lender with a Revolving Commitment, an increase in such Lender’s applicable Revolving Commitment)
under this Agreement pursuant to an Activation Notice, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment,
if any, each New Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent. Each such Activation Notice may, subject to the limitations set
forth in this Section 2.02, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect
the provisions of this Section 2.02. The effectiveness of any Activation Notice and the occurrence of any Borrowing pursuant to
such Activation Notice shall be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the parties thereto shall agree.
SECTION 2.03 Procedure for Revolving
Loan and,
2022 Incremental Term Loan and
2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Borrowing.
(a) To request a Revolving Borrowing
on any Business Day, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (which notice must be received
by the Administrative Agent prior to (i) 12:00 p.m., New York City time, in the case of ABR Loans denominated in Dollars, (ii)
1:00 p.m. New York City time, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans or Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars, (iii) 11:00 a.m.

denominated in Dollars or (z) not less than one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans denominated
in Canadian Dollars). Each such telephonic borrowing request shall be confirmed promptly in writing. Each such telephonic and
written borrowing request shall specify the currency, amount, Facility and Type of Borrowing to be borrowed and the requested
Borrowing Date. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Revolving Lender thereof.
(b) If no election as to the Type of
Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified
with respect to any requested Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing or Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, then the Borrower shall
be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(c) To request a Borrowing of the 2022
Incremental Term Loans or
2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans on any Business Day, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of
such request by telephone (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (i) 12:00 p.m., New York City time,
in the case of ABR Loans or (ii) 1:00 p.m. New York City time, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans (x) not less than three Business
Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans or (y) on the requested Borrowing Date, in the
case of ABR Loans denominated in Dollars). Each such telephonic borrowing request shall be confirmed promptly in writing. Each
such telephonic and written borrowing request shall specify the currency, amount, Facility and Type of Borrowing to be borrowed
and the requested Borrowing Date. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant 2022
Incremental Term Lender or 2024 Incremental
Delayed Draw Term Lender thereof.
(d) If no election as to the Type of
Borrowing of the 2022 Incremental Term Loan
or the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.
If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term Benchmark Borrowing of the 2022 Incremental Term Loans
or the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period
of one month’s duration.
SECTION 2.04 Funding of Borrowings.
(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan
to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York
City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.
The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like
funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City or to any other account as shall
have been designated by the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent in the applicable borrowing request.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made
such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount
is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such
Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii)
in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative
Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
SECTION 2.05 Interest Elections.
(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be
of the Type specified in the applicable borrowing request and each Eurocurrency Borrowing and each Term Benchmark Borrowing shall
have an initial Interest Period as specified in the such borrowing request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert any
Borrowing of any Class to a different Type (subject to limitations set forth in Section 2.01) or to continue such Borrowing as
the same Type and may elect successive Interest Periods for any Eurocurrency Borrowing or Term Benchmark Borrowing, all as provided
in this Section. The Borrower may elect different Types or Interest Periods, as applicable, with respect to different portions
of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the relevant Lenders holding the Loans
comprising the relevant portion of such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.
(b) To make an election pursuant to this
Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a request for the applicable
Borrowing would be required under Section 2.03, if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election
to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be confirmed promptly
in writing.
(c) Each telephonic and written Interest
Election Request shall specify (i) the Borrowing(s) to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options
are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing
(in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting
Borrowing), (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business
Day, (iii) whether each such resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Eurocurrency Borrowing or Term Benchmark Borrowing,
and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing(s) is/are a Eurocurrency Borrowing or Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be
applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest
Period.” If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing or a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does
not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d) Promptly following receipt of an
Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each relevant Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s
portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver
a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing or Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period
such Borrowing shall be continued as such for an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof,
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so
notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or
continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing or Term Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing and Term
Benchmark Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION 2.06 Termination and Reduction
of Commitments.
(a) The Borrower shall have the right,
upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from
time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving
Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective
date thereof, the Outstanding Revolving Credits would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an
amount equal to an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 (or an integral multiple of C$1,000,000 and not
less than C$5,000,000 in the case of Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars) and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments
then in effect; provided that any such termination or reduction shall apply proportionately and permanently to reduce the
Revolving Commitments of each of the Lenders within each Class of Revolving Commitments, except that, notwithstanding the foregoing,
(1) the Borrower may allocate any termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments among Classes of Revolving Commitments at
its direction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, to the Revolving Commitments with respect to any Class of Extended Revolving
Commitments without any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments with respect to any existing Revolving Commitments
of the same Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class) and (2) in connection with the establishment on any date of any Extended
Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.19, the existing Revolving Commitments of any one or more Lenders providing any such
Extended Revolving Commitments on such date shall be reduced in an amount equal to the amount of Specified Existing Revolving
Commitments so extended on such date (or, if agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments,
by any greater amount so long as the Borrower prepays the Loans under the existing Revolving Commitments of such Class owed to
such Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments to the extent necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to such
repayment or reduction, the Loans under the existing Revolving Commitments of such Class are held by the Lenders of such Class
on a pro rata basis in accordance with their existing Revolving Commitments of such Class after giving effect to such reduction)
(provided that (x) after giving effect to any such reduction and to the repayment of any Loans made on such date, the aggregate
amount of the revolving credit exposure of any such Lender does not exceed the Existing Revolving Commitment thereof (such revolving
credit exposure and Revolving Commitment being determined in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, exclusive of such Lender’s
Extended Revolving Commitment and any exposure in respect thereof) and (y) for the avoidance of doubt, any such repayment of Loans
contemplated by the preceding clause shall be made in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.15 with respect to the ratable
allocation of payments hereunder, with such allocation being determined after giving effect to any conversion pursuant to Section
2.19 of existing Revolving Commitments and Loans under such Existing Revolving Loans into Extended Revolving Commitments and Loans
under such Extended Revolving Loans respectively, and prior to any reduction being made to the Revolving Commitment of any other
Lender).
(b) The 2022 Incremental Term Commitment
of the 2022 Incremental Term Lender shall terminate in its entirety on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date after the funding of
all relevant 2022 Incremental Term Loans on such date.
(c) The
2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of each 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lender shall (x) automatically terminate
in full on the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitment Termination Date and (y) automatically be reduced upon the funding
of any 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments by the amount
of the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans so funded.
SECTION 2.07 Repayment of Loans; Evidence
of Debt.
(a) The Incremental Term Loans of each
Incremental Term Lender shall mature in one or more installments as specified in the Incremental Term Facility Activation Notice
pursuant to which such Incremental Term Loans were made, provided that, except in the case of the final installment, such
installments shall be no more frequent than quarterly. The Borrower shall repay the then unpaid principal amount of each 2022
Incremental Term Loan on the Incremental Term Maturity Date for the 2022 Incremental Term Loans..
The Borrower shall repay (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last Business
Day of the first full fiscal quarter ended after the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Initial Funding Date, an aggregate principal
amount equal to the sum of 1.25% (or such greater amount to make such 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans fungible with the
then existing 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans) of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw
Term Loans borrowed on each 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Funding Date (in each case, in the aggregate original principal amount
borrowed on the applicable 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Funding Date) and (ii) on any 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Maturity
Date, the aggregate principal amount of all 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans outstanding on such date.
(b) The Borrower shall repay the then
unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Revolving Termination Date.
(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each
Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain
accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period
applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower
to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the
relevant Lenders and each relevant Lender’s share thereof.
(e) The entries made in the accounts
maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the existence and amounts
of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such
accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.08 Prepayments.
(a) Optional.
The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon
notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, not less than three Business Days prior
thereto, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans or Term Benchmark Loans, and no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date
of such notice, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and the Loans to be prepaid;
provided that, if a Eurocurrency Loan or a Term Benchmark Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13;
provided further that a notice of optional prepayment of 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans may state that such notice
is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness
or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the
Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied.
Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. Partial prepayments
of Loans under the Revolving Facility or,
the 2022 Incremental Term Loans
or the 2024 Incremental Term Loans shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not
less than $5,000,000 (or if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof).
(b) Mandatory.
(bi) Revolving
Loans. If at any time for any reason the sum of the Outstanding Revolving Credit exceeds the Total Revolving Commitments,
the Borrower shall upon learning thereof, or upon the request of the Administrative Agent, immediately prepay the Revolving Loans
in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to the amount of such excess. If, on any Calculation Date, the Dollar Equivalent
of sum of the Outstanding Revolving Credit exceeds the Total Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall, promptly upon notice thereof,
within five Business Days prepay the Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount in Dollars or Canadian Dollars at least
equal to the Dollar Equivalent amount of such excess.
(ii) 2024
Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans.
(A) No
later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of
the greater of (x) $700,000,000 and (y) 25% of the Consolidated Operating Cash Flow for the most recently ended Test Period on
a pro forma basis from any non-ordinary course Asset Disposition (or series of related Asset Dispositions) (the “Asset Sale
Mandatory Prepayment Threshold”) or from any Casualty Event, the Borrower shall offer to prepay the 2024 Incremental Delayed
Draw Term Loans in an amount equal to (a) if the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period
on a pro forma basis is 3.25:1.00 or greater, 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds and (b) if the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last
day of the most recently ended Test Period on a pro forma basis is less than 3.25:1.00, 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds, in each
case, in excess of the Asset Sale Mandatory Prepayment Threshold; provided that, if the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries
invest (or commit to invest) the Net Cash Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof) within 540 days after receipt of such
Net Cash Proceeds in assets used in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including any acquisitions or other Investment,
other than any Investment in cash and Cash Equivalents or intercompany Investments), then no prepayment offer shall be required
pursuant to this paragraph in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds in respect of such event (or the applicable portion of such Net
Cash Proceeds, if applicable) except to the extent of any such Net Cash Proceeds therefrom that have not been so invested (or
committed to be invested) by the end of such 540 day period (or if committed to be so invested within such 540 day period, have
not been so invested within 720 days after receipt thereof), at which time a prepayment offer shall be required in an amount equal
to such Net Cash Proceeds that have not been so invested (or committed to be invested); provided, further, that
the Borrower may use a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay or repurchase any other Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien
on the Collateral that ranks equal in priority (but without regard to the control of remedies) with the Lien on the Collateral
securing the Obligations to the extent such other Indebtedness and the Liens securing the same are permitted hereunder and the
documentation governing such other Indebtedness requires such a prepayment or repurchase thereof with the proceeds of such Asset
Disposition or Casualty Event, in each case in an amount not to exceed the product of (x) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds
and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the outstanding principal amount of such other Indebtedness and the denominator
of which is the aggregate outstanding principal amount of 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans and such other Indebtedness.
(B) Substantially
simultaneously with receipt by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds from the incurrence of
Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted hereunder), the Borrower shall prepay the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans
in an amount equal to the amount thereof.
(C) (i)
To the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Disposition or Casualty Event received by a Foreign Subsidiary
that is not a Loan Party are prohibited or delayed by applicable law, fiduciary duty or other contractual obligations from being
distributed to any Loan Party, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay the
2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans as set forth in clause (A) above, but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary;
provided that, if the repatriation of the affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under applicable law and, to the extent
applicable,
would no longer conflict with any fiduciary duty or other contractual obligation, within 18 months following the event giving
rise to such Net Cash Proceeds, an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly applied (net of additional taxes payable
or reserved against as a result thereof) by the Borrower to the repayment of the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans to the
extent required by clause (A) above and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that distribution of
any of or all such Net Cash Proceeds to a Loan Party would have material adverse tax cost consequences to the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries or give rise to risk of liability for the directors of such Foreign Subsidiaries, such Net Cash Proceeds
so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.
(D) Prior
to any mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the 2024 Incremental
Delayed Draw Term Loans to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph
(E) of this Section; provided that any Lender may elect, by notice to the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by hand
delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission) at least two Business Days prior to the prepayment date, to decline all
or any portion of any mandatory prepayment of its 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to this Section (other than
a mandatory prepayment pursuant to paragraph (b)(ii)(B) of this Section, which may not be declined), in which case the aggregate
amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay such 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans but was so declined
shall be retained by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries.
(E) The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.08(b)(ii) by telephone or delivering
a notice of prepayment; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, such notice must be received
by the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, not less than five Business Days prior thereto; provided,
further, that each telephonic notice shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, facsimile or other electronic transmission
to the Administrative Agent of a written notice of prepayment signed by an authorized officer of the Borrower. Each such notice
shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing of 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans or portion
thereof to be prepaid and a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any
such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be
applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent
required by Section 2.10. At the Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.08(b)(ii),
such prepayment shall not be applied to any Loan of a Defaulting Lender and shall be allocated ratably among the relevant non-Defaulting
Lenders.
SECTION 2.09 Fees.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent (i) for
the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Closing Date to the last day of the
Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving
Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Revolving Fee Payment
Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date.,
and (ii) for the account of each 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lender a delayed draw commitment fee for the period from and
including February 24, 2024 to the last day of the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Availability Period, computed at a
rate per annum equal to 0.25% on the average daily amount of the unused portion of the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitments
of such 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable in arrears on each 2024
Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loan Fee Payment Date.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to
the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters
of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Rate used to determine the interest rate applicable to (x) prior to the Automatic
SOFR Conversion Date,
Eurocurrency Revolving Loans and (y) on or following the Automatic
SOFR Conversion Date, Term Benchmark Revolving Loans, in each case, on the average daily amount of such Revolving Lender’s
LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including
the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates
and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which
shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum (or such other percentage as may be separately agreed between the Borrower and any
Issuing Bank) on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure of the Letters of Credit issued by it (excluding any portion thereof
attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later
of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any such LC Exposure, as well
as the fees agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Borrower with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter
of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees will be payable quarterly in arrears on each
Revolving Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that any such fees
accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the
Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365/366 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last day).
(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Administrative Agent
and to perform any other obligations contained therein.
(d) All fees payable hereunder shall
be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of commitment
fees, to the Revolving Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances. All per annum fees shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 365/366 days for actual days elapsed; provided that commitment fees shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days.
SECTION 2.10 Interest.
(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing
denominated in Dollars shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate. The Loans comprising each ABR
Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars shall bear interest at the Canadian Prime plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency
Borrowing in Dollars shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable
Rate. The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing in Canadian Dollars shall bear interest at CDOR for the Interest Period
in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
(c) The Loans comprising each Term Benchmark
Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable
Rate.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during
the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 7.01(h) or (i) or if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee
or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise,
any such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of
overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this
Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility as provided
in paragraph (a) of this Section.
(e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall
be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in addition, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination
of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable
on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior
to the end of the Revolving Commitment Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on
the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan or Term
Benchmark Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period
therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.
(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed
on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to (x) the Alternate Base Rate at times when the
Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate or (y) CDOR or shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days
in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding
the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, LIBO Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Current Term SOFR shall be determined
by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
SECTION 2.11 Alternate Rate of Interest. Subject to clauses (a), (b), (c), (d)
and (e) of Section 2.21, if:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term
Benchmark Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted
Term SOFR Rate or CDOR (including because the Relevant Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for the
applicable currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
Daily Simple SOFR; or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised
by the Required Lenders that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or Eurocurrency
Borrowing, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or CDOR for the applicable currency and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly
reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for
the applicable currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, Daily Simple SOFR will not adequately and fairly reflect
the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for the applicable
currency;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to
the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until (x) the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist with
respect to the relevant Benchmark and (y) the Borrower delivers a new Interest Election Request in accordance with the terms of
Section 2.05 or a new borrowing request in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, any
Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing
as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing and any borrowing request that requests a Term Benchmark Revolving Borrowing shall instead be deemed
to be an Interest Election Request or a borrowing request, as applicable, for (x) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing denominated in
Dollars so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not also the subject of Section 2.11(a) or (b) above or (y) an ABR Borrowing if Daily
Simple SOFR Borrowings also is the subject of Section 2.11(a) or (b) above and (B) for Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars,
any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing
as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing and any borrowing request that requests a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing shall instead be deemed
to be an Interest Election Request or a borrowing request, as applicable, for an ABR Borrowing.
SECTION 2.12 Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits
with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (including any reserve for eurocurrency funding that may be established
or reestablished under Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board);
(ii) impose on any Lender
or the applicable offshore interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such
Lender; or
(iii) subject any Lender to
any Tax (except for Excluded Taxes, or Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.14) on or in respect of
its loans, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable
thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase
the cost to such Lender of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make
any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of
Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise),
then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation
as a result of such Lender’s compliance with any Requirement of Law, or pursuant to any request, rule, guideline or directive
to comply with, any Requirement of Law unless such Lender is imposing such charges on or requesting such compensation from other
borrowers in the U.S. sub-investment grade loan market with respect to its similarly affected commitments, loans and/or participations
under agreements with such borrowers having provisions similar to this Section 2.12(a).
(b) If any Lender determines that any
Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such
Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or
the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved
but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding
company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time 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, it being understood
and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with
any Requirement of Law, or pursuant to any request, rule, guideline or directive to comply with, any Requirement of Law unless
such Lender is imposing such charges on or requesting such compensation from other borrowers in the U.S. sub-investment grade
loan market with respect to its similarly affected commitments, loans and/or participations under agreements with such borrowers
having provisions similar to this Section 2.12(b).
(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 paragraph
(a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and 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 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 for any
increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor;
provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then
the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 2.13 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any
principal of any Eurocurrency Loan or Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto
(including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan or any Term Benchmark Loan other than
on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency
Loan or any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency
Loan or any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request
by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, 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 Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be
deemed to be an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued
on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO 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 which would accrue on such principal amount for such period
at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to
bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market
(but not less than the available LIBO rate quoted for the LIBO interest period equal to the period from the date of such event
to the last day of the then current Interest Period, or if there is no such LIBO interest period, the lower of the LIBO rates
quoted for the closest LIBO interest periods that are longer and shorter than such period). A certificate of any Lender setting
forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower
and 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.
SECTION 2.14 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account
of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law; provided that if any Loan Party or any other applicable withholding
agent shall be required to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or an Other
Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after all required deductions have
been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14), the Administrative Agent or Lender
(as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable
withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay
any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) The Loan Parties shall, jointly and
severally, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount
of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on or in respect of any payment by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document, and
any Other Taxes, paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.14), and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto (excluding penalties attributable to gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of
the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) (as applicable)), whether
or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent
on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall be entitled to contest
with the relevant Governmental Authority, pursuant to applicable law and at its own expense, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
that it is ultimately obligated to pay, and the Administrative Agent or Lender shall reasonably cooperate with any such contest,
unless the Administrative Agent or such Lender determines in good faith that such cooperation would prejudice its legal or commercial
position in any material respect. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or Lender to make available
its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall give prompt notice of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted
on it, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent or such Lender’s failure to give such prompt notice
to the Borrower shall not constitute a defense to any claim for indemnification by the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender
unless, and only to the extent that, such failure materially prejudices the Borrower.
(d) As soon as practicable after any
payment of any Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, the Borrower shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent a copy, or if reasonably available to the Borrower a certified copy, of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly
completed and executed
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Lender
shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent with such other documentation prescribed by laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as
will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding
or information reporting requirements. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any
such documentation (including any specific documentation referred to below in this Section 2.14(e)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate
in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including
any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so.
Without limiting the foregoing:
(1) Each U.S. Lender shall deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly
completed and duly signed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.
(2) Each Foreign Lender shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement whichever
of the following is applicable:
(A) two properly completed and
duly signed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income
tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other related documentation (if any) as required under the Code,
(B) two properly completed and
duly signed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),
(C) in the case of a Foreign
Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) two
properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit K (any such certificate, a “United
States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN
or W-8BEN-E (or any successor forms),
(D) to the extent a Foreign
Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender that has
transferred its beneficial ownership to a participant), two properly completed and duly signed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or
any successor forms), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, or W-8BEN-E, a United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9,
Form W-8IMY and/or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under
this Section 2.14(e) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership
(and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the
applicable United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect
partners), or
(E) two properly completed and
duly signed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations)
as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, United States federal withholding Tax on any payments to
such Lender under the Loan Documents.
(3) 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 Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code,
as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by any Requirements of Law and at such time or times reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law (including as prescribed
by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine
whether such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, if necessary, to determine the
amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (3), “FATCA” shall include
any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 2.14(e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.
(f) If the Administrative Agent or a
Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it
has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section
2.14, it shall pay over such refund to the relevant Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such
refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than
any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided, that the Borrower,
upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over (plus any penalties, interest
or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority (but excluding any penalties attributable to gross negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction) (as applicable)))
to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund
to such Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall pursue any such refund of which it becomes aware
if the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably determines that it is likely to receive such refund, unless such Administrative
Agent or Lender determines in good faith that the pursuit of such refund would prejudice its legal or commercial position in any
material respect. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its
Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(g) For the avoidance of doubt, the term
“Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 2.14, include any Issuing Bank.
SECTION 2.15 Pro Rata Treatment and
Payments.
(a) Each borrowing of Revolving Loans
by the Borrower from the Revolving Lenders and, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any reduction of the Revolving
Commitments of the Revolving Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Commitments then held by the
Revolving Lenders. Each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee or any letter of credit fee shall be paid ratably
to the Revolving Lenders entitled thereto. Each
borrowing of 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans by the Borrower from the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lenders and,
except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any reduction of the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitments of the 2024
Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitments
then held by the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lenders.
(b) Except as otherwise set forth in
this Agreement, each prepayment by the Borrower on account of principal of the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according
to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders. All repayments of principal
of the Revolving Loans at stated maturity or upon acceleration shall be allocated pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the matured or accelerated Revolving Loans then held by the relevant Revolving Lenders. All payments
of interest in respect of the Revolving Loans shall be allocated pro rata according to the outstanding interest
payable then owed to the relevant Revolving Lenders. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each prepayment by the Borrower
on account of principal of the 2022 Incremental Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal
amounts of the 2022 Incremental Term Loans then held by the 2022 Incremental
Term Lenders. All repayments of principal of the 2022 Incremental
Term Loans at stated maturity or upon acceleration shall be allocated pro rata according to the respective outstanding
principal amounts of the matured or accelerated 2022 Incremental Term Loans then held by the relevant 2022 Incremental Term Lenders.
All payments of interest in respect of the 2022 Incremental Term Loans shall be allocated pro rata according to
the outstanding interest payable then owed to the relevant 2022 Incremental Term Lenders. Except
as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each prepayment by the Borrower on account of principal of the 2024 Incremental Delayed
Draw Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the 2024 Incremental Delayed
Draw Term Loans then held by 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lenders. All repayments of principal of the 2024 Incremental Delayed
Draw Term Loans at stated maturity or upon acceleration shall be allocated pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal
amounts of the matured or accelerated 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans then held by the relevant 2024 Incremental Delayed
Draw Term Lenders, as applicable. All payments of interest in respect of the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be
allocated pro rata according to the outstanding interest payable then owed to the relevant 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term
Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether
on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise but excluding any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 and Section 9.04) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by
the Administrative Agent in a segregated interest-bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied,
subject to the provisions of clause (B) below, at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent: (1) first,
to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank hereunder (including
amounts owed under Section 2.09(b) or 9.04(c)), (2) second, to the funding of any Revolving Loan or LC Disbursement required by
this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (3) third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Borrower,
held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (4) fourth,
pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Lenders as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach
of its obligations under this Agreement and (5) fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction, and (B) if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of Revolving Loans, such payment shall be applied
solely to prepay the Revolving Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata (based on the amounts owing to each) prior to being
applied in the manner set forth in clause (A) above.
(c) All payments (including prepayments)
to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff
or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due. All payments received by the Administrative
Agent after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received
on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest and fees thereon. All such payments shall be made to
the Administrative Agent at its offices at 500 Stanton Christiana Rd., Ops 2, 3rd Floor Newark, DE 19713 except that payments
pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.04 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent
shall distribute such payments to the relevant Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder
becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.
In the case of any extension of any payment of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during
such extension.
(d) If at any time insufficient funds
are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder,
such funds shall be applied (subject to the rights of the Administrative Agent to hold and apply amounts to be paid to a Defaulting
Lender in accordance with Section 2.15(b)) (i) first, towards 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, towards
payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal
then due to such parties.
(e) Except as otherwise expressly set
forth in this Agreement, if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment
in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion
of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender entitled thereto,
then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders entitled thereto to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by such Lenders ratably in accordance
with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such
participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall
be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this
paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower or any other Credit Party pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration
for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans, Revolving Commitments or participations in any LC Disbursements
to any assignee or participant. or (z) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender of any Class as a result of the extension
by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Revolving Commitments of that Class or any increase
in the Applicable Rate (or other pricing term, including any fee, discount or premium) in respect of Loans or Revolving Commitments
of Lenders that have consented to any such extension to the extent such transaction is permitted hereunder.
SECTION 2.16 Mitigation Obligations;
Replacement of Lenders.
(a) If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for
the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.14, 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) If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for
the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole
expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.05), all its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts
such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent
(and if a Revolving Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in unreimbursed
LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to
the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and
(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to be
made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not
be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise,
the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
(c) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting
Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms
of Section 9.02 requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have
granted their consent, then the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace
such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Revolving Commitments hereunder
to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that: (a) all amounts owing to such
Non-Consenting Lender being replaced (other than principal and interest) shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently
with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price
equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment the Borrower,
Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 9.05.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, each party hereto agrees that any assignment pursuant to the terms of Section 2.16(c) may be effected pursuant to
an Assignment and Assumption executed by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that
the Lender making such assignment need not be a party thereto.
SECTION 2.17 Letters of Credit.
(a) General. Subject to the terms
and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request that standby letters of credit denominated in Dollars be issued under
this Agreement for its own account or the account of any Restricted Subsidiary at any time and from time to time during the Revolving
Commitment Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions
of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with,
the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.
(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment,
Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension
of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if
arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably
in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, but in any event no later than two Business Days
prior to such date, unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent) a notice requesting the issuance
of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall
comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the currency and amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary
thereof and such other information as shall be reasonably necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.
If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s
standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended
by the applicable Issuing Lender only if, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure
shall not exceed the Dollar Equivalent of $75,000,000 in the aggregate, (ii) the LC Exposure of the applicable Issuing Bank shall
not exceed such Issuing Bank’s LC Commitment and (iii) the amount of the total Outstanding Revolving Credits shall not exceed
the Total Revolving Commitments.
(c) Expiration Date. (i) Subject
to clause (ii) below, each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (A) the date one
year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after
such renewal or extension) and (B) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (such earlier date,
the “LC Maturity Date”).
(ii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter
of Credit notice, the Issuing Bank may agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit”) so long as any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit permits the Issuing Bank to prevent any such
extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving
prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such
twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank,
the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit
the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the LC Maturity Date; provided, however,
that the Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted,
or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof
(by reason of the provisions of Section 2.17(b) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in
writing) on or before the day that is two Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent
that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders
or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 are not then satisfied, and in each such
case directing the Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.
(d) Participations. By the issuance
of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on
the part of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving
Lender hereby acquires
from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit
equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such
Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment
Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in
paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving
Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters
of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal
or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving
Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing
Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying
to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement (i) not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business
Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives written notice from the Issuing Bank that an LC Disbursement has
been made, if the Borrower shall have received such written notice prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day
on which such LC Disbursement was made, or (ii) if such written notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time
on such date, then not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately following the day that
the Borrower receives such notice (such required date for reimbursement under clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, the “Required
Reimbursement Date”); provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein,
request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount
and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting
ABR Revolving Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving
Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section
2.04 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such payment
obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received
by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant
to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving
Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and the Issuing
Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing
Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan
and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f) Obligations Absolute. The
Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional
and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances
whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term
or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or
invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under
a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit,
or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions
of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall
have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any
payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence),
or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under
or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation
of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing
shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages
(as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of
which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by
the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter
of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing
Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the
generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial
compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment
upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary,
or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such
Letter of Credit.
(g) Disbursement Procedures. The
Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment
under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed
in writing) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided
that any delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the
Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing
Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full by the Required Reimbursement
Date, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the Required Reimbursement Date to but excluding
the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum set forth in Section 2.10(d)(ii). Interest accrued
pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of
payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account
of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank.
The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing
Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of the
Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the
account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.09(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i)
the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to
Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed
to include such successor and any previous Issuing Bank, or such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall
require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue
to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it
prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.
(j) Cash Collateralization. If
any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative
Agent or Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure demanding the deposit of cash
collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of
the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date
plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall
become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any
kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01.
Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the
Borrower under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Facility. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and
control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such
deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s
risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in
such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements
for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the
satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower
for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders
with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Facility. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral
hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be
returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived or are no longer continuing.
SECTION 2.18 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as
such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) Fees shall cease to accrue
on the Available Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(a).
(b) (x)
The Revolving Commitment and Outstanding Revolving Credit of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining
whether the Required Lenders or Required Revolving Lenders
have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to
Section 9.02 or Section 9.03) and (y) the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitment and 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term
Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders or Required 2024 Incremental
Delayed Draw Term Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver
or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02 or Section 9.03); provided that this Section 2.18(b) shall not apply to
the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification effecting (i) an increase or extension
of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment or 2024
Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitment, as applicable, or (ii) the reduction or excuse of principal amount of, or
interest or fees payable on, such Defaulting Lender’s Loans or the postponement of the scheduled date of payment of such
principal amount, interest or fees to such Defaulting Lender.
(c) If any Letters of Credit
exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
● (i) Such Defaulting Lender’s
LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment
Percentages (but excluding the Revolving Commitments of all the Defaulting Lenders from both the numerator and the denominator)
but only to the extent (x) the sum of all the Outstanding Revolving Credits owed to all non-Defaulting Lenders does not exceed
the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Available Revolving Commitments, (y) the representations and warranties of each
Credit Party set forth in the Credit Documents to which it is a party are true and correct at such time, except to the extent
that any such representation and warranty relates to an earlier date (in which case such representation and warranty shall be
true and correct as of such earlier date), and (z) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at such time;
● (ii) If the reallocation described
in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day following notice by
the Administrative Agent, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after
giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as any Letters of Credit are outstanding;
● (iii) If the Borrower cash collateralizes
any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay
any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.09(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during
the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized by the Borrower;
● (iv) If LC Exposures of the non-Defaulting
Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.09(a)
and Section 2.09(b) shall be adjusted to reflect such non-Defaulting Lenders’ LC Exposure as reallocated; and
● (v) If any Defaulting Lender’s
LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any
rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.09(b)
with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash
collateralized and/or reallocated.
(d) So long as such Defaulting
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless
it is reasonably satisfied that the related LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Available Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting
Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.18(c)(ii), and the LC Exposure in
any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with
Section 2.18(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
The rights and remedies against a Defaulting
Lender under this Agreement are in addition to other rights and remedies that Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender
with respect to any funding default and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with
respect to any funding default. In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Issuing Bank each agrees that
a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Total Revolving
Loans shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Available Revolving Commitment and on such date such
Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative
Agent may determine to be necessary to cause such outstanding Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters
of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Revolving Lenders (including such Lender) in accordance with their
applicable percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a non-Defaulting Lender and any
applicable cash collateral shall be promptly returned to the Borrower and any LC Exposure of such Lender reallocated pursuant
to the requirements above shall be reallocated back to such Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively
with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided
that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender
to non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s
having been a Defaulting Lender. Subject to Section 9.19, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any
claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including
any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
SECTION 2.19 Extensions of Incremental
Term Loans and Revolving Commitments.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, the Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Incremental Term Loans
of any Class (an “Existing Incremental Term Loan Class”) or all or a portion of the Revolving Commitments of
any Class (an “Existing Revolving Commitment Class”) be converted to extend the scheduled maturity date(s)
of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Incremental Term Loans (any such
Incremental Term Loans which have been so converted, “Extended Incremental Term Loans”) or all or a portion
of any such Revolving Commitments (any such Revolving Commitments which have been so converted, “Extended Revolving Commitments”
and any loans made pursuant to such Extended Revolving Commitments, “Extended Revolving Loans”), and to provide
for other terms applicable to such Extended Incremental Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, consistent
with this Section 2.19 (any such conversion, an “Extension”). In order to establish any Extended Incremental
Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide
a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Incremental Term Loan Class (the “Specified
Existing Incremental Term Loan Class”) or Existing Revolving Commitment Class (the “Specified Existing Revolving
Commitment Class”), as applicable)
(each, an “Extension Request”) setting forth
the proposed terms of the Extended Incremental Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, to be established
so long as:
(i) in the case of any Extended
Revolving Commitments, the terms thereof shall be substantially similar to those applicable to the Specified Existing Revolving
Commitments from which such commitments were converted except that (w) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended
Revolving Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the existing Revolving Commitments of the
Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class, (x)(A) the interest rates, interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding
discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment premiums with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be different
than those for the existing Revolving Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class and/or (B) additional fees
and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Revolving Commitments in addition to or in lieu of any of
the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A) and (y)(1) the undrawn revolving credit commitment fee rate with respect to
the Extended Revolving Commitments may be different than those for the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class and (2) the
Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date; provided
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.19 or otherwise, (I) the borrowing and repayment (other than
in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of the Loans under any Class of Extended Revolving Commitments
shall be made on a pro rata basis with any borrowings and repayments of the Loans under any existing Revolving Commitments of
the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Extension
Amendment and may include technical changes related to the borrowing and repayment procedures of the Specified Existing Revolving
Commitment Class), (II) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and related Loans shall be governed by
the assignment and participation provisions set forth in Section 9.05 and (III) subject to the applicable limitations set forth
in Section 2.06, permanent repayments of Loans under Extended Revolving Commitments (and corresponding permanent reduction in
the related Extended Revolving Commitments) shall be permitted as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof;
(ii) in the case of any proposed
Extended Incremental Term Loans, the terms thereof shall be substantially similar to the Incremental Term Loans of the Specified
Existing Incremental Term Loan Class from which they are to be converted, except that (w) the scheduled final maturity date shall
be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of all or a portion of any principal amount of such Extended
Incremental Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization of principal of the Incremental Term Loans
of such Specified Existing Incremental Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled
amortization payments reflected in the applicable Incremental Term Facility Activation Notice or in the Extension Amendment, as
the case may be, with respect to the Specified Existing Incremental Term Loan Class, in each case as more particularly set forth
in Section 2.19(c) below), (x)(A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors,
upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment premiums with respect to the Extended Incremental Term
Loans may be different than those for the Incremental Term Loans of such Specified Existing Incremental Term Loan Class and/or
(B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Incremental Term Loans in addition to
any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment,
(y) subject to the provisions set forth in any Incremental Term Facility Activation Notice, the Extended Incremental Term Loans
may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) and mandatory prepayment terms
as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof (provided that such Extended Incremental Term Loans may participate
on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not a greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments (other
than in connection with debt prepayments) hereunder, as specified in the respective Extension Request) and (z) the Extension Amendment
may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date;
Any Extended Incremental Term Loans or Extended
Revolving Commitments, as applicable, converted pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a Class of Extended Incremental
Term Loans or a Class of Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that
any Extended
Incremental Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments converted
may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established
Class of Extended Incremental Term Loans or Class of Extended Revolving Commitments, as the case may be.
(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable
Extension Request to all Lenders of such Class that is subject to the Extension Request at least seven (7) Business Days (or such
shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to the date on which Lenders under such Class being converted
are requested to respond. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Incremental Term Loans or Revolving
Commitments of such Class converted into Extended Incremental Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as the case may be,
pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender wishing to have all or a portion of its Incremental Term Loans under such Class
converted into Extended Incremental Term Loans (any such Lender, an “Extending Incremental Term Lender”) or
all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments under such Class converted into Extended Revolving Commitments (any such Lender,
an “Extending Revolving Lender”), as the case may be, shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension
Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Incremental Term Loans of
such Class or Revolving Commitments of such Class, as applicable, which it has elected to request be converted into Extended Incremental
Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements reasonably imposed
by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower). In the event that the aggregate amount of Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitments,
as the case may be, under such Class being converted exceeds the amount of Extended Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitments,
as the case may be, requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable,
subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Incremental Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as the
case may be, on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding requirements as may be established by the Administrative Agent) based on
the amount of Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election.
(c) Extended Incremental Term Loans and/or
Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to
this Agreement (and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents) among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending
Incremental Term Lender or Extending Revolving Lender, as the case may be, providing an Extended Incremental Term Loan or Extended
Revolving Commitment, as applicable, thereunder which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in paragraph (a) above
(but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender) and which may effect such amendments as may be necessary or appropriate
in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Classes
of Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable. Each Extension Amendment shall be binding on the Lenders, the Credit Parties
and the other parties hereto. In addition, if so provided in such amendment and with the consent of the Issuing Bank, participations
in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Termination Date in respect of the Revolving Commitments of any Class
shall be re-allocated from Lenders holding such Revolving Commitments to Lenders holding Extended Revolving Commitments in accordance
with the terms of such amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof
by the relevant Lenders holding Extended Revolving Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Extended
Revolving Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable
thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly. In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent
shall enter into such amendments to the Collateral Documents and any Customary Intercreditor Agreement as may be reasonably requested
by the Administrative Agent (which shall not require any consent from any Lender) in order to ensure that the Extended Incremental
Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Collateral Documents
or Subsidiary Guarantee, as applicable, and shall deliver such other documents, certificates and opinions of counsel in connection
therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. All Extended Incremental Term Loans, Extended Revolving
Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents that
are secured by Liens on the Collateral on an equal priority basis with the Liens on the Collateral securing all other applicable
Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, following the effectiveness of any Extension Amendment in connection with any Extension Request and the establishment
of any Extended Incremental Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, pursuant thereto (any such Extended
Incremental Term Loans, the “Specified Extended Incremental
Term Loans” and any such Extended Revolving Commitments, the “Specified Extended Revolving Commitments”),
any Lender holding an Incremental Term Loan of the Existing Incremental Term Loan Class or a Revolving Commitment of the Existing
Revolving Commitment Class, as applicable, subject to such Extension Request may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Borrower (and without the consent of any other Lender), at any
time and from time to time, convert all or any portion of such Incremental Term Loan or Revolving Commitment, as applicable, into
a Specified Extended Incremental Term Loan or Specified Extended Revolving Commitment, as the case may be, having the same terms
as the Specified Extended Incremental Term Loans or Specified Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on the date of such
conversion and such Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall be deemed Specified Extended Incremental
Term Loans or Specified Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement on and after such date.
(e) In the event that the Administrative
Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Incremental Term Loans of a given Class or the Extended
Revolving Commitments of a given Class, in each case to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative
error in the receipt and processing of an Extension Election timely submitted by such Lender in accordance with the procedures
set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and
hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Amendment”) within 15 days following
the effective date of such Extension Amendment, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Amendment shall (i) provide for
the conversion and extension of Incremental Term Loans under the Existing Incremental Term Loan Class or existing Revolving Commitments
(and related revolving exposure), as the case may be, in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Incremental
Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments (and related revolving credit exposure) of the applicable Class into which such other
Incremental Term Loans or commitments were initially converted, as the case may be, in the amount such Lender would have held
had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans or commitments
to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension Amendment, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction
of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree (including conditions of the type required
to be satisfied for the effectiveness of an Extension Amendment described in Section 2.19(c)), and (iii) effect such other amendments
of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.19(c).
(f) With respect to all Extensions consummated
by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments
for purposes of this Agreement.
(g) The Administrative Agent and the
Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any
interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Incremental Term Loans and/or Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms
as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Request) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary. This Section 2.19 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.07, 2.08(a) or 9.02 to the contrary.
SECTION 2.20 Foreign Currency Exchanges.
(a) No later than 1:00 P.M., London time,
on each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent as of such Calculation Date (it being
acknowledged and agreed that the Administrative Agent shall use such Dollar Equivalent for the purposes of determining compliance
with subsection 2.1 with respect to such borrowing request). The Dollar Equivalent so determined shall become effective on the
relevant Calculation Date, shall remain effective until the next succeeding Calculation Date and shall for all purposes of this
Agreement be the Dollar Equivalent employed in converting any amounts between Dollars and Canadian Dollars.
(b) No later than 5:00 P.M., New York
time, on each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate amount of the Dollar Equivalent of the
principal amounts of the Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars then outstanding (after giving effect to any such Loans to be made
or repaid on such date).
(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower of each determination of a Dollar Equivalent hereunder.
SECTION 2.21 Benchmark Replacement
Setting.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes
of this Section 2.21), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to
the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined
in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to Dollars for such Benchmark
Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document
in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent
of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance
with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to any currency for such Benchmark Replacement
Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect
of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such
Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of
objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each affected Class.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes
from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing
such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c) The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark
Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any
tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.
Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of
Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.21, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the
occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any
selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent
from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this
Section 2.21.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement),
(i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Rate and CDOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark
is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative
Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public
statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then
the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such
time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above
either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or
(B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including
a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark
settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e) Upon the Borrower’s receipt
of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing
or Eurocurrency Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, to be
made,
converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability
Period and, failing that, either (x) the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for (1) a Term Benchmark Borrowing
denominated in Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars
so long as Daily Simple SOFR for Dollar Borrowings is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing
if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (2) a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Canadian Dollars
into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to an ABR Borrowing, or (y) any Term Benchmark Borrowing or Eurocurrency Borrowing,
as applicable, shall be ineffective. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current
Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark,
as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or Eurocurrency Loan is outstanding
on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to
a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or Eurocurrency Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for
such currency is implemented pursuant to this Section 2.21, (A) for Loans denominated in Dollars, any Term Benchmark Loan
shall on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute,
(x) a Daily Simple SOFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as Daily Simple SOFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition
Event or (y) an ABR Loan if Daily Simple SOFR is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event, on such day and (B) for any Loan
denominated in Canadian Dollars, any Eurocurrency Loan shall on and from such day be converted by the Administrative Agent to,
and shall constitute an ABR Loan.
ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties
The Borrower represents and warrants to
the Lenders that:
SECTION 3.01 Organization; Powers. Each of the Borrower, its Material Subsidiaries
and the Loan Parties is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization,

of the Loan Documents are within the corporate or other organizational powers of the Loan Parties and have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate or other organizational and, if required, stockholder action. Each Loan Document has been duly executed
and delivered by each Loan Party thereto and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each such Loan Party, enforceable

creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law.
SECTION 3.03 Governmental Approvals;
No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance
of the Loan Documents (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any
Governmental Authority, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) the filings referred
to in Section 3.12 and (iii) such consents, approvals, registrations, filings or actions the failure to so receive would not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not violate any material Requirement of Law or the charter, by-laws
or other organizational documents of the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries, (c) will not violate or result in a default
under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries or its assets,
or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries, except
to the extent that such violation or default would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (d)
will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any of its Material Subsidiaries (other
than Liens created by the Collateral Documents), except to the extent that such creation or imposition would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.04 Financial Position.
(a) The Borrower has heretofore furnished

position and results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its consolidated subsidiaries as of such dates and for such
periods in accordance with GAAP, subject to changes resulting from audit, year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes
in the case of the statements referred to in clause (ii) above.
(b) As of the Closing Date, neither the Borrower

value of the assets of such Plan by an amount which, if it were to become due, would cause a Material Adverse Effect, and the
present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts,
exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans by an amount which, if it were to become due, would cause

and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results and
such differences may be material.

security interest in the HoldCo Collateral described therein. In the case of the HoldCo Collateral constituting certificated securities,
when stock certificates representing such HoldCo Collateral are delivered to the Administrative Agent (together with a properly
completed and signed stock power or endorsement), and in the case of the other HoldCo Collateral described in the HoldCo Pledge
Agreement, when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the appropriate office where Satisfactory HoldCo is “located”

or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor
does any Loan Party know of any valid basis for any such claim. To each Loan Party’s knowledge, the use of such Intellectual

time when the Borrower is no longer subject to such reporting requirements, the occurrence of any of the foregoing events;
(c) the occurrence of any ERISA Event
that, alone or together with any other ERISA Events that have occurred, would reasonably be expected to result in liability of

the foregoing shall not prohibit any transaction permitted by Section 6.03 or 6.11.
SECTION 5.04 Payment of Tax Liabilities.
The Borrower will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, pay its Tax liabilities, that, if not paid, would reasonably

the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with
GAAP and (c) the failure to make payment pending such contest would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate,

each case in accordance with prudent and diligent standards in the commercial satellite industry, except to the extent that the

thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent
public accountants, all at the reasonable expense of the Borrower and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and
as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the Borrower (and subject, in the case of any such meetings
or advice from such independent accountants, to such accountants’ customary policies and procedures); provided that,
excluding any such visits and inspections during the continuation of an Event of Default, only the Administrative Agent on behalf
of the Lenders may exercise rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 5.06 and the Administrative
Agent shall not exercise such rights more often than once during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default
at the Borrower’s
expense; and provided, further, that when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the
expense of the Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. The Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall give the Borrower the opportunity to participate in any discussions with the Borrower’s independent
public accountants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.01 or this Section 5.06, none of the Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making copies or abstracts of, or discussion
of, any document, information or other matter (i) that constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information,

orders or authorizations required to provide satellite digital radio services, to launch or operate any Satellite and the TT&C
Stations related thereto and to transmit signals to and receive transmissions from the Satellites in full force and effect, except
where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

Agreement and the Security Agreement, and (C) if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, cause such Material Domestic

Capital Stock of such Material Domestic Subsidiary and any Restricted Subsidiaries that are Subsidiaries of such Material Domestic
Subsidiary (excluding any Excluded Capital Stock as such term is defined in the Pledge Agreement), together with undated stock
powers or other appropriate instruments of transfer executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of the holder(s)
of such Capital Stock, and a joinder to the Intercompany Note substantially in the form attached thereto.

For purposes of determining compliance with this
Section 6.01:
(1) in the event that an item of
Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 6.01,
the Borrower, in its sole discretion, shall classify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) at the time of Incurrence
and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of the above clauses (it being understood
that nothing in this clause (1) shall be interpreted to mean that any applicable outstanding Indebtedness shall not be included
for purposes of calculating any ratios governing such above clauses);
(2) [reserved];
(3) Guarantees of, or obligations
in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount
of Indebtedness shall not be included;
(4) any Disqualified Stock of the
Borrower or Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary will be deemed to have a principal amount equal to the greater of the maximum
mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation
preference thereof; and
(5) increases in the amount of Indebtedness
solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for
purposes of this Section 6.01.
SECTION 6.02 Liens. The Borrower will
not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Lien securing Indebtedness

any other Person to merge into or consolidate with it, or liquidate or dissolve itself, or dispose of (in one transaction or in
a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets, except that,
(i) the Borrower may merge with
or into or consolidate with or into any Person (other than the Satisfactory HoldCo, but including any Subsidiary of the Satisfactory
HoldCo) or may dispose of (in one or a series of transactions) all of substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, if
(A) the resulting, surviving or transferee
Person (the “Successor Borrower”) shall be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States
of America, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia and the Successor Borrower (if not the Borrower) shall expressly assume,
by agreements, executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
all the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall
reaffirm, by agreements executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, all the obligations of such Loan Party under the Loan Documents to which it is a party;
(B) immediately after giving pro
forma effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Successor Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by such Successor Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary at
the time of such transaction), no Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall have occurred
and be continuing;
(C) immediately after giving pro
forma effect to such transaction, subject to Section 1.06, either (x) the Borrower would be in compliance, on a pro forma basis
after giving effect to such transaction, with the covenant set forth in Section 6.10, as such covenant is recomputed as of the
last day of the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the date of such transaction as if such transaction had occurred
on the first day of such Test Period) or (y) the Borrower’s Total Leverage
Ratio for the most recent Test Period ended on or prior to the date of such transaction is equal to or lower than such ratio for
such Test Period immediately prior to such transaction; and
(D) the Borrower shall have delivered
to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer, stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer comply with
this Agreement and the other Credit Documents;
provided, however, that clauses (B) and (C)
will not be applicable to (x) a Restricted Subsidiary consolidating with or into, merging with or into or transferring all or part
of its properties and assets to the Borrower (so long as no Capital Stock of the Borrower is distributed to any Person), (y) the
Borrower merging with an Affiliate of the Borrower solely for the purpose and with the sole effect of reorganizing the Borrower
in another jurisdiction within the United States or in another organizational form or (z) the Borrower merging with a Wholly Owned
Subsidiary of the Satisfactory HoldCo.
(ii) any Person (other than the
Borrower or the Satisfactory HoldCo, but which may include another Restricted Subsidiary) may merge or consolidate with or into
any Restricted Subsidiary in a transaction in which the surviving entity is a Restricted Subsidiary or that is not prohibited by
under Section 6.04; provided that, except with respect to any disposition which is governed by Section 6.04, with respect
to any such transaction involving a Person which is not, immediately prior to such transaction, a Restricted Subsidiary, immediately
after giving pro forma effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the such Restricted
Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction),
no Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 shall have occurred and be continuing,
(iii) any Restricted Subsidiary
may dispose of its assets and the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may dispose of any Capital Stock of any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to the Borrower or to another Restricted Subsidiary or in a transaction which is not prohibited by Section 6.04, and
(iv) any Restricted Subsidiary
may liquidate or dissolve if the Borrower determines in good faith that such liquidation or dissolution is in the best interests
of the Borrower and is not materially disadvantageous to the Lenders.
This Section 6.03 will not apply to a consolidation,
merger, or other disposition of properties or assets between or among the Borrower and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.
For purposes of Section 6.03(i), the disposition
of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower, which properties
and assets, if held by the Borrower instead of such Restricted Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties
and assets of the Borrower on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties
and assets of the Borrower.
The Successor Borrower shall be the successor
to the Borrower and shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Borrower under the
Loan Documents to which it is a party, and the predecessor Borrower shall be released from the Obligations.
SECTION 6.04 Disposition of Property.
The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to consummate any Asset Disposition unless (a) the
Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair
market value (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration), as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors
of the Borrower, of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition, (b) at least 75% of the consideration thereof received
by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that, for purposes of
determining what constitutes cash or Cash Equivalents under this clause (b), (A) any liabilities (as shown on the Borrower’s

The Borrower will not permit the Total Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any Test Period to be more than 5.00 to 1.00. This
Section 6.10 applies to the Revolving Loans, Extended Revolving Loans, any other Class of revolving loans
and, the 2022
Incremental Term Loans and the 2024 Incremental
Delayed Draw Term Loans; provided that this Section 6.10 shall be applicable to the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term
Loans only on and after the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Initial Funding Date.
SECTION 6.11 Investments. The Borrower
will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Investments, other than Permitted Investments and
Investments permitted by Section 6.05.
SECTION 6.12 Modifications to Certain
Documents. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, terminate, amend or modify the
terms of any document governing any of its Subordinated Obligations in a manner materially adverse to the Lenders.
SECTION 6.13 Changes in Covenants Following
Investment Grade Condition. If on any date following the Fifth Amendment Effective Date, the Investment Grade Condition is
satisfied, then, beginning on that day, the following Sections in this Agreement will no longer be applicable to and will not
in any way restrict the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Satisfactory Holdco (if applicable): 5.05(b), 5.09 as it relates to additional
Collateral, 6.01 as it relates to Indebtedness of Credit Parties, 6.04, 6.05, 6.06, 6.08 (other than with respect to the final
proviso therein), 6.09, 6.11 and 6.12 (such covenants, the “Suspension Covenants”). The Borrower shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent an officers’ certificate certifying that the Investment Grade Condition has been attained. In
the event that the Borrower is not required to comply with the Suspension Covenants for any period of time as a result of the
foregoing (such period, the “Covenant Suspension Period”), and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion
Date”) the Investment Grade Condition is not satisfied due to changes in ratings by Moody’s or S&P (but not,
for purposes of clarity, any “outlook”, “guidance” or unofficial or other pronouncement as to ratings),
then the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Satisfactory Holdco (if applicable) will thereafter again be required to comply with
the Suspension Covenants with respect to any future events or transactions. Notwithstanding that the Suspension Covenants may
be reinstated, no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under any Loan Document with respect
to the Suspension Covenants and none of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Satisfactory Holdco (if applicable) shall bear any
liability for any actions taken or events occurring during the Covenant Suspension Period, or any actions taken at any time pursuant
to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reversion Date, as a result of a failure to comply with the Suspension Covenants
during the Covenant Suspension Period (or upon termination of the Covenant Suspension Period or after that time based solely on
events that occurred during the Covenant Suspension Period). Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of Liens permitted
under Section 6.02 during any Covenant Suspension Period, and without limiting the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s
ability to incur Indebtedness during any Covenant Suspension Period, to the extent that calculations in Section 6.02 or the definition
of Permitted Liens refer to Section 6.01, such calculations shall be made as though Section 6.01 remains in effect during the
Covenant Suspension Period.
It is understood and agreed that (a) with respect
to Restricted Payments made on or after the Reversion Date, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though
the covenant in Section 6.05 had been in effect prior to, but not during the Covenant Suspension Period, (b) all Indebtedness incurred
or issued during the Covenant Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 6.01(e),
(c) all Investments completed during the Covenant Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued
pursuant
to paragraph (l) of the definition of “Permitted Investment”, (d) any transaction prohibited pursuant to Section 6.09
entered into after the Reversion Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Covenant Suspension Period shall be deemed
to be permitted pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 6.09 and (e) any transaction with an Affiliate entered into after the Reversion
Date pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Covenant Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to Section
6.06(h). No subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary during a Covenant Suspension Period, unless such designation
would have complied with Section 6.05 of this Agreement as if such Section 6.05 would have been in effect for the purposes of designating
Unrestricted Subsidiaries from the Fifth Amendment Effective Date to the date of such designation.

period for such delivery) with respect to a fiscal quarter or fiscal year, as applicable and (ii) unless such section applies to
the Incremental Term Loans, if any, any default under such Section 6.10 shall not constitute an Event of Default with respect to

any Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof,
prior to its
scheduled maturity; provided that this clause (g) shall not apply to (i) secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result
of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness or (ii) Indebtedness outstanding under any
Swap Agreement that becomes due pursuant to a termination event or equivalent event under the terms of such Swap Agreement;
(h) an involuntary proceeding shall
be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation, reorganization or other relief in respect of the

insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator,

days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, or any action shall be legally taken by a judgment creditor to attach
or levy upon any assets of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary to enforce any such judgment;
(k) an ERISA Event shall have occurred
that, when taken together with all other ERISA Events that have occurred, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect;
(l) any Collateral Document after
delivery thereof pursuant to the express provisions hereof shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof
including as a result of a transaction permitted under Section 6.03, 6.04 or 9.16) cease to be in full force and effect or
any Credit Party shall so assert or cease to create, or any Lien purported to be created by any Collateral Document shall be asserted
in writing by any Credit Party not to be, a valid and perfected lien on and security interest in any material portion of the Collateral
purported to be covered thereby, subject to Liens permitted under Section 6.02, except to the extent that any such loss of
perfection results directly from the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain possession of certificated securities Collateral
actually delivered to it and pledged under the Collateral Documents or to file Uniform Commercial Code amendments after required
notices are provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and continuation statements;
(m) the Subsidiary Guarantee shall
cease, for any reason, to be in full force and effect or any Loan Party shall so assert;

HoldCo exists and any Suspension Period has been commenced, the Administrative Agent shall cease to have a perfected first priority
Lien on all issued and outstanding Capital Stock of the Borrower subject to Liens permitted under Section 6.02 or under the
HoldCo Pledge Agreement, except to the extent that any such loss of perfection results directly from the failure of the Administrative
Agent to maintain possession of certificated securities Collateral actually delivered to it and pledged under the Collateral Documents
or to file Uniform Commercial Code amendments after required notices are provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and
continuation statements; or
(o) a Change in Control shall occur;
then, and in every such event (other than an
event with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section), and at any time thereafter during the continuance
of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take
any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Revolving Commitments
and, subject to the proviso below, the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitments, and thereupon the Revolving Commitments
and/or 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term
Commitments, as appliable, shall terminate immediately, (ii) declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable
in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and
payable during the continuation of such event) by the Borrower, and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due
and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall
become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (other than notice from the
Administrative Agent), all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower and (iii) require all outstanding Letters of Credit to be
cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.17(j); and in case of any event described in clause (h) or (i) of this Section,
the Revolving Commitments, subject to the
proviso below, the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitments, shall automatically terminate and the principal of
the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder,
shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby waived by the Borrower.;
provided that an Event of Default shall not prohibit or restrict the borrowing of the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term
Loans, shall not permit the termination of the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitments, and shall not permit acceleration
of the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans, in each case, prior to the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Initial Funding Date
having occurred.
SECTION 7.02 Cure Right.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article VII, in the event that the Borrower reasonably expects to fail (or has failed) to comply with the requirements
of Section 6.10 as of the end of any Test Period, at any time during the last fiscal quarter of such Test Period through and until
the expiration of the 15th Business Day subsequent to the date the financial statements are required to be delivered pursuant to
Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b) with respect to such fiscal quarter (the “Cure Deadline”), the Borrower
(or any parent thereof) shall have the right to issue common stock or other Capital Stock reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of the Borrower (collectively, the “Cure Right”),
and upon the receipt by the Borrower of the Net Cash Proceeds of such issuance or contribution (the “Cure Amount”)
pursuant to the exercise by the Borrower of such Cure Right (provided such Cure Amount is received by the Borrower on or
before the applicable Cure Deadline) compliance with Section 6.10 for such Test Period shall be recalculated giving effect to the
following pro forma adjustments:
(i) Consolidated Operating Cash
Flow shall be increased with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter with respect to which such Cure Amount is received by the
Borrower and any Test Period that includes such fiscal quarter, solely for the purpose of determining whether an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing as a result of a violation of Section 6.10 and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by
an amount equal to the Cure Amount and any prepayment of Indebtedness with the Cure Amount shall be disregarded for purposes of
measuring the covenant set forth in Section 6.10 for such Test Period;
(ii) if, after giving effect to
such increase in Consolidated Operating Cash Flow, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.10,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 6.10 as of the relevant date of determination with the
same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Section
6.10 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement; and
(iii) Consolidated Total Debt with
respect to any Test Period subsequent to the Test Period for which the Cure Amount is deemed applied that includes such fiscal
quarter with respect to which such Cure Amount is received by the Borrower shall be decreased solely to the extent proceeds of
the Cure Amount are applied to prepay any Indebtedness;
provided that the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative
Agent in writing of the exercise of such Cure Right within five Business Days of the receipt of the Cure Amounts.
(b) Limitation on Exercise of Cure Right.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four fiscal-quarter period there shall be no more than two fiscal
quarters with respect to which the Cure Right is exercised, (ii) there shall be no more than five exercises of Cure Right
in the aggregate, (iii) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with Section
6.10 as of the end of the applicable fiscal quarter, (iv) all Cure Amounts shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the
Applicable Rates, any baskets, with respect to the covenants contained in the Credit Documents or the Restricted Payments “buildup”
and any other purpose other than determining compliance with Section 6.10, and (v) there shall be no pro forma reduction
in Indebtedness (by netting or otherwise) with the proceeds of any Cure Amount for determining compliance with Section 6.10 for
the fiscal quarter for which such Cure Amount is deemed applied.
ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent
SECTION 8.01 Appointment and Authorization.
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent
to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof
and the other Credit Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
SECTION 8.02 Administrative Agent and
Affiliates. The bank serving as the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates
may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary
or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
SECTION 8.03 Action by Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and the other
Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary
or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not
have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02 or 9.03),
and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not 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 Restricted Subsidiaries that is communicated
to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent
shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02 or 9.03) or
otherwise, in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender,
and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty
or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (iii) the performance
or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or in any other Credit Document,
(iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents 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 Credit
Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 8.04 Consultation with Experts.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
sent by the proper Person. The
Administrative
Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and
shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel
for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 8.05 Delegation of Duties.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents
appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and
exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs
shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply
to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities
as Administrative Agent.
SECTION 8.06 Successor Administrative
Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative
Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. In addition, if the Administrative Agent becomes a Defaulting
Lender under clause (d) of the definition of “Defaulting Lender,” then such Administrative Agent may be removed as
the Administrative Agent at the reasonable request of the Borrower and the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal,
the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower and subject to the approval of the Borrower (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i)
shall have occurred and be continuing), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders
and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring (but not removed) Administrative Agent gives notice
of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent
which shall be a bank with an office in the United States of America, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of
its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall
be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent
shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the
Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04 shall continue
in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.
SECTION 8.07 Credit Decision. Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender
and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions
in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document, any related agreement or any document
furnished hereunder or thereunder.
SECTION 8.08 Bookrunners; Co-Syndication
Agents; Senior Managing Agent; Manager. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Bookrunners, the Co-Syndication
Agents, the Senior Managing Agent or the Manager shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any
of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, if applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank.
SECTION 8.09 Withholding Tax. To the
extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an
amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.14, each Lender
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after
demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and
disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS
or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the
Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason
(including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender
failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding
Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and
all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative
Agent under this Section 8.09. The agreements in this Section 8.09 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative
Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes
of this Section 8.09, include any Issuing Bank.
SECTION 8.10 ERISA Lender Representation.
(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants,
as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party
hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(iv) such other representation,
warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
(b) In addition, unless subclause (i) in the
immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has not provided another representation, warranty
and covenant as provided in subclause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants,

Arranger hereby inform the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give
advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest
in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments
with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended

SECTION 8.11 Return of Certain Payments.
(a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank (and
each Participant of any of the foregoing, by its acceptance of a Participation) hereby acknowledges and agrees with the Administrative
Agent that if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its
sole discretion that any funds (or any portion thereof) received by such Lender or Issuing Bank (any of the foregoing, a “Recipient”)
from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly
received by, such Recipient (whether or not known to such Recipient) (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal,
interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) and demands the return of such Payment,
such Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount
of any such Payment as to which such a demand was made. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Recipient under this Section
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Without limitation of clause (a) above,
each Recipient further acknowledges and agrees with the Administrative Agent that if such Recipient receives a Payment from the
Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in an amount, or on a date different from the amount and/or date specified
in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment
Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Recipient otherwise becomes
aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), in each case, it understands
and agrees at the
time of receipt of such Payment that an error has been made (and that it is deemed to have knowledge of such error) with respect
to such Payment. Each Recipient agrees with the Administrative Agent that, in each such case, it shall promptly notify the Administrative
Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business
Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand
was made.
(c) Each Recipient further acknowledges and
agrees with the Administrative Agent that any Payment required to be returned by a Recipient under this Section shall be made in
same day funds in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such
Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the
greater of the Overnight Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation from time to time in effect. Each Recipient hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent that it shall not assert and,
to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law hereby waives, any right to retain such Payment, and any claim, counterclaim,
defense or right of set-off or recoupment or similar right to any demand by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payment
received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(d) The obligations of the Administrative
Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender (and each Participant of any of the foregoing, by its acceptance of a Participation) under
this Section 8.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations
by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver
of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless
the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not
be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge
of such Default at the time.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly set forth
in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement
or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall:
(i) increase the Revolving Commitment
or 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitment,
of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender,
(ii) reduce the principal amount
of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender
directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that (x) a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article
IV or waiver or amendment of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a reduction of principal
and (y) any change to the definition of “Total Leverage Ratio” or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute
a reduction in the rate or fees and only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the
Borrower to pay interest at the “default rate” or to amend Section 2.10(d)),
(iii) postpone the scheduled date
of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of,
waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Commitment
or 2024 Incremental
Delayed Draw Term Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely
affected thereby (other than as a result of waiving the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV or other than as a result
of a waiver or amendment of any Default, Event of Default or mandatory prepayment, which shall not constitute an extension, reduction,
waiver, excuse or postponement),;
(iv) change any of the provisions
of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”,
“Required Revolving Lenders”, “Required 2022 Incremental Term Lenders”, “Required 2024 Incremental
Delayed Draw Term Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required
to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent
of each Lender,
(v) increase the Total Leverage
Ratio set forth in Section 9.16(b) or Section 9.16(c), without the written consent of each Lender, or
(vi) (A) waive any of the conditions
in Section 4.02 in respect of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans or (B) amend or modify Section 6.10 (unless Section 6.10 applies
to Incremental Term Loans, if any), without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders (it being understood that if Section
6.10 does not apply to the Incremental Term Loans, if any, only the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders shall be required
to (and only the Required Revolving Lenders shall have the ability to) waive, amend or modify the covenant set forth in Section
6.10 (including any defined terms as they relate thereto)),
or
(vii) (A)
waive any of the conditions in Section 4.03 without the consent of each 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lender, (B) amend or
modify Section 6.10, solely to the extent that Section 6.10 applies to the 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans, without the
consent of the Required 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lenders or (C) amend or modify Section 2.08(b)(ii) without the consent
of the Required 2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Lenders, or
(viii) change
any of the pro rata provisions of Sections 2.06 or 2.15 without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely
affected thereby;
provided further that no such agreement shall amend,
modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
may jointly amend, modify or supplement this Agreement to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as if
the Required Lenders do not object to such amendment, modification or supplement within ten business days following receipt of
notice thereof.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement
may be amended (or amended and restated) (a) to incorporate any Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loans in
accordance with the provisions hereof, or (b) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to
time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents with the Incremental Term Loans, and the Revolving Loans, and the accrued interest and fees in respect
thereof; and in each case to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required
Lenders.
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant
Replacement Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Loans
of any Class (“Refinanced Loans”) with replacement loans denominated in Dollars (“Replacement Loans”)
hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal
amount of such Refinanced Loans, (b) the Applicable Rate with respect to such Replacement Loans (or similar interest rate spread
applicable to such Replacement Loans) shall not be higher than the Applicable Rate for such Refinanced Loans (or similar interest
rate spread applicable to such Refinanced Loans) immediately prior to such refinancing, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity
of such Replacement Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Loans at the time
of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal
amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result
of prepayment of the Refinanced Loans) and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Loans shall be substantially identical
to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Loans than those applicable to such Refinanced Loans, except to
the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of any Class
of Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.
(d) Without the consent of any Lender, the
Administrative Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Credit Document)
enter into any amendment or waiver of any Collateral Document or Customary Intercreditor Agreement contemplated by this Agreement
to effect the provisions of this Agreement, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection,
protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional property to become Collateral for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit
of the Secured Parties, in any property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Requirements of Law.
SECTION 9.03 Waivers; Amendments to Other
Credit Documents.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power under the Subsidiary Guarantee, the Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement
or the HoldCo Pledge Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Subsidiary
Guarantee, the Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement and the HoldCo Pledge Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of the Subsidiary Guarantee, the Pledge Agreement,
the Security Agreement or the HoldCo Pledge Agreement or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom shall in any event
be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
(b) Subject to Section 9.02(d), none of the
Subsidiary Guarantee, the Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement, the HoldCo Pledge Agreement nor any provision thereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each affected Credit Party
and the Required Lenders or by the affected Credit Party and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders;
provided that no such agreement shall release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as provided in Section
9.16), release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors or change any of the provisions of this Section, in each case
without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise
affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under the Subsidiary Guarantee, the Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement
or the HoldCo Pledge Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9.04 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage
Waiver.
(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, in connection
with syndication of the Facilities and the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement or any other Credit
Document or any amendments (including the Fifth Amendment and the Seventh Amendment), modifications or waivers of the provisions
hereof or thereof and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
including the fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole
(and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to all such affected Persons, taken as a whole), and
to the extent required, one firm of local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting
in multiple jurisdictions) and one firm of regulatory counsel in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights
in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, including their rights under this Section, or in connection with
the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations
in respect of such Loans.
(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent, the Lead Arranger and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called
an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Environmental Liabilities) and related expenses (including the reasonable and documented
or invoiced out-of-pocket fees, expenses, disbursements and other charges of one firm of counsel for all Indemnitees, taken as
a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict notifies
the Borrower of any existence of such conflict and in connection with the investigating or defending any of the foregoing has retained
its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee), and to the extent required, one firm or local counsel
in each relevant jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions)) and one firm of regulatory
counsel of any such Indemnitee arising out of or relating to any action, claim, litigation, investigation or other proceeding (including
any inquiry or investigation of the foregoing) (regardless of whether such Indemnitee is a party thereto or whether or not such
action, claim, litigation or proceeding was brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, affiliates or creditors or any other third
person), arising out of, or with respect to the Transactions, the Second Amendment Transactions, the Third Amendment Transactions,
the Fourth Amendment Transactions, the Fifth Amendment Transactions, the Seventh Amendment Transactions, the Eighth Amendment Transactions
or to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any
such other documents or the use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit; provided that such indemnity shall not,
as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (i) are determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, one of its Affiliates or one of its or their respective Related Parties or (ii) arise
from a material breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee or its Affiliates as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final and nonappealable judgment. Each Indemnitee shall give prompt notice to the Borrower of any claim that may give rise
to a claim against the Borrower hereunder and shall consult with the Borrower in the conduct of such Indemnitee’s legal defense
of such claim; provided, however, than an Indemnitee’s failure to give such prompt notice to the Borrower or
to seek such consultation with the Borrower shall not constitute a defense to any claim for indemnification by such Indemnitee
unless, and only to the extent that, such failure materially prejudices the Borrower.
(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails
to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender
severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Total Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable
unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified
loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent
in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable
law, the parties shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability, for special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as
a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, the Second Amendment Transactions,
the Third Amendment Transactions, the Fourth Amendment Transactions, the Fifth Amendment Transactions, the Seventh Amendment Transactions,
the Eighth Amendment Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that nothing in this Section 9.04(d)
shall limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations to the extent that such special, indirect, consequential or punitive
damages are included in any claim by a third party unaffiliated with any Indemnitee with respect to which the applicable Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification under Section 9.04(b).
(e) All amounts due under this Section shall
be payable within 10 days after written demand therefor.
SECTION 9.05 Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except
that (i) except to the extent permitted by Section 6.03, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower
without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder
except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any
Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided
in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth
in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written
consent of:
(A) the Borrower (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for (a) with respect
to funded Incremental Term Loans (if any) only, an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund, (b) in respect
of the Revolving Facility only, an assignment to a Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender or (c) if an Event of
Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing, any assignment; provided,
further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment of Incremental Term Loans unless
it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice
thereof;
(B) the Administrative Agent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required
for an assignment (a) of any funded Incremental Term Loan to an assignee that is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund or (b) with respect to the Revolving Facility, an assignment to a Revolving Lender; and
(C) each Issuing Bank (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for any assignment (other than an assignment to a Revolving Lender) in respect of the
Revolving Facility.
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional
conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment
to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving
Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Revolving Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such
assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or, in the case of any Incremental Term Loan, $1,000,000, unless each of the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event
of Default under clause (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;
(B) each partial assignment shall
be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Revolving Commitments or Loans;
(C) the parties to each assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation
fee of $3,500 (which fee is hereby waived for any assignment to which JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its Affiliates is a party);
and
(D) the assignee, if it shall not
be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
For the purposes of this Section 9.05(b), the
term “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding
or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or
managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages
a Lender.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording
thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption
the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption,
have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of
an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender
shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.04). Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.05 shall
be null and void.
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for
this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered
to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitments of, and principal
and interest amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes
of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any
Lender, with respect to its own Loans and Revolving Commitments only, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable
prior notice.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed
Assignment and Assumption with respect to a permitted assignment executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation
fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section (unless waived), and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph
(b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained
therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register
as provided in this paragraph.
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent
of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks, institutions or other
entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents. 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 the other Credit Documents and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided that such agreement or
instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification
or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) or the first proviso to Section 9.03(b) that affects such Participant.
Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections and Section 2.16) to the same extent as if it
were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation
shall, acting 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 and interest amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Loans (the “Participant Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded
in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary; provided that no Lender shall have the obligation to disclose all or
a portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s
interest in any loans or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is
necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that any loans are in registered form for U.S. federal
income tax purposes.
(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect
to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is
made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or
assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including
without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other applicable central bank which
governs or regulates the activities of such Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security
interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e) Revolving Commitments and,
2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Commitments, Revolving Loans and
2024 Incremental Delayed Draw Term Loans may not be assigned to Liberty Media Corporation,
a Delaware corporation, the Satisfactory HoldCo, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
Affiliates, in each case from the Closing Date until the first date on which such Person is no longer an Affiliate of the Borrower.
SECTION 9.06 Survival. All covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties made by any Credit Parties herein, in the other Credit Documents and in the certificates
or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be considered
to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and
notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation
or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal
of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and
so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 9.04 and Article
VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Revolving Commitments, any assignment of rights by or replacement
of a Lender or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 9.07 Counterparts; Integration;
Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the other Credit Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, the Lead
Arranger or any of the Lenders constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall
become effective as provided in Section 4.01, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by email
or telecopy shall be effective as delivery of an originally executed counterpart of this Agreement. Delivery of an executed signature
page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including by portable document format (“.pdf”)
or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement
shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures (as defined below), deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each
of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof
or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be. “Electronic Signature” means any electronic
symbol or process attached to, or associated with, any contract or other record and adopted by a person with the intent to sign,
authenticate or accept such contract or record.
SECTION 9.08 Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate
such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.09 Right of Setoff. If
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account
of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower then due and owing under this Agreement held by such Lender,
irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be
unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of
setoff) which such Lender may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application;
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
SECTION 9.10 Governing Law; Jurisdiction;
Consent to Service of Process.
(a) This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
(b) Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New

Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or the other Credit Documents against any Credit Party or their respective properties to enforce any award or judgment or exercise
any right under the Security Documents or against any Collateral or any other property of any Loan Party in any other forum in
which jurisdiction can be established.
(c) Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents in any court
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably
consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit

TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.13 Confidentiality. Each
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except
that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants,

legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or the enforcement
of any right under this Agreement or any other Credit Document in any litigation or arbitration or proceeding relating thereto,
to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in connection with such litigation or arbitration action or proceeding (provided
that the Borrower shall be given notice thereof and a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective court order with respect to such
information prior to such disclosure (it being understood that the refusal by a court to grant such a protective order shall not
prevent the disclosure of such Information thereafter)), (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same
as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative
transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations or (iii) any actual or prospective credit insurance provider relating
to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or an agreement described in clause (f) hereof or becomes available
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or (i) on a confidential
basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any Facility or (ii) the CUSIP Service
Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to any Facility. For
the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or its Affiliates
relating to the Borrower, its subsidiaries or their businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or its Affiliates. Any Person required to maintain
the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so
if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would reasonably
accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of
this Agreement and information about this Agreement, on an as-needed basis, to market data collectors, similar services providers
to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management
of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
Each Lender acknowledges that information
furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents may include material non-public information concerning
the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance
procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in
accordance with those procedures and applicable law, including federal and state securities laws.
All information, including requests for waivers
and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement
or the other Credit Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the
Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it has identified in its administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive
information that may contain material non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including
federal and state securities laws.
SECTION 9.14 Judgment Currency.
If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another
currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be
that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction the first currency could be purchased with
such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.
The obligations of the Borrower in respect
of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of any obligation owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”)
shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which
such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement
Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that,
on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the
Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency
with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable
Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify
the Applicable Creditor against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally
due to the Applicable Creditor in such currency, such Applicable Creditor agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower
(or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). The obligations of the Borrower under this Section shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.
SECTION 9.15 USA PATRIOT Act. Each
Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it
is hereby required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower or any Successor Borrower, which information
includes the name and address of the Borrower or any Successor Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify
the Borrower or any Successor Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
SECTION 9.16 Releases of Guarantees
and Liens.
(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree
that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Credit Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i)
in full, as set forth in clause (d) below, (ii) upon the disposition of such Collateral as part of or in connection with any disposition
permitted hereunder to any Person other than another Credit Party, to the extent such disposition is made in compliance with the
terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by a
responsible officer of any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral
is comprised of property leased to a Credit Party by a Person that is not a Credit Party, upon termination or expiration of such
lease to the extent such Credit Party has no other rights in such Collateral, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized
or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance
with Section 9.02 or Section 9.03), (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Subsidiary Guarantor
and no other Credit Party, upon the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee (in
accordance with the second succeeding sentence and Section 4.14 of the Subsidiary Guarantee), (vi) as required by the Administrative
Agent to effect any disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent pursuant
to the Collateral Documents and (vii) to the extent such Collateral otherwise becomes Excluded Assets (as defined in the Security
Agreement). Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those
being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Credit Parties in respect of) all interests retained
by the Credit Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except
to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents. Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably
agree that the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be released from the Subsidiary Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction permitted
hereunder resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary, or otherwise ceasing to be a Material Domestic
Subsidiary. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents,
and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this paragraph and paragraph (d), all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender. Any representation,
warranty or covenant contained in any Credit Document relating to any such Collateral or Subsidiary Guarantor shall no longer be
deemed to be repeated.
(b) If at any time (and from time to time)
on or after the date of satisfaction of the HoldCo Condition when (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
(ii) the Total Leverage Ratio for the two consecutive Test Periods most recently ended on or prior to such date does not exceed
3.00 to 1.00 and (iii) no Permitted Additional Debt Document, or other document granting a Lien permitted by clause (x) of the
definition of Permitted Liens, has then granted a valid Lien on any Collateral that will not concurrently become so suspended (such
requirements, collectively, the “Suspension Conditions”), the Borrower, by written notice to the Administrative
Agent (which notice shall attach a certificate of a Financial Officer, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations necessary to demonstrate the Borrower’s satisfaction of the condition
set forth above), may request that the Collateral be released
from the Liens created by Collateral Documents (other than the
HoldCo Pledge Agreement and the Pledge Agreement), and upon the Administrative Agent’s acceptance of such written request,
all such Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Agreement without delivery of any instrument or performance
of any act by any Person.
(c) If any Collateral has been released from
the Liens created by the Security Agreement pursuant to Section 9.16(b), then on the date, if any, on which financial statements
are delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.01 showing that the Total Leverage Ratio for the two consecutive Test Periods
most recently ended on or prior to such date is greater than 3.75 to 1.00 (the “Reinstatement Condition”), the
Loan Parties shall:
(i) upon request, promptly (A)
enter into a new Security Agreement and any other applicable Collateral Document to replace the terminated Security Agreement or
Collateral Document, as applicable, (and any period from and after a Collateral Release until the date of such reinstatement, a
“Suspension Period”) and (B) deliver to the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) (including by telecopy or
email transmission) a counterpart of the Security Agreement and other applicable Collateral Document signed on behalf of each Loan
Party, and the Security Agreement and other applicable Collateral Documents shall be in full force and effect;
(ii) deliver to the Administrative
Agent the results of a recent Lien search with respect to each Loan Party, and such search shall reveal no Liens on any of the
assets of the Loan Parties except for Liens permitted by Section 6.02 or discharged on or prior to the date of the applicability
of the Reinstatement Condition;
(iii) file in the proper form
each Uniform Commercial Code financing statement or other filing required by the Collateral Documents and confirm that all other
perfection steps required by the Collateral Documents shall have been taken; and
(iv) deliver to the Administrative
Agent a copy of, or a certificate as to coverage under, the insurance policies required by Section 5.05 and the applicable provisions
of the Collateral Documents, any casualty policies of which shall be endorsed or otherwise amended to include a “standard”
or “New York” additional lender’s additional loss payable endorsement and any general liability policy of which
shall name the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as additional insured, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or any other Credit Document, when all Obligations (other than (i) Swap Obligations in respect of any Secured
Swap Agreements, (ii) Cash Management Obligations in respect of any Secured Cash Management Agreement and (iii) any contingent
obligations or contingent indemnification obligations not then due) have been paid in full, all Revolving Commitments have terminated
or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding that is not cash collateralized or back-stopped on terms reasonably satisfactory
to the Issuing Bank, upon request, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice
to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral,
and to release all obligations under any Credit Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be any (i) Swap
Obligations in respect of any Secured Swap Agreements, (ii) Cash Management Obligations in respect of any Secured Cash Management
Agreements and (iii) any contingent obligations or contingent indemnification obligations not then due. Any such release of Obligations
shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment
in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Credit Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver,
intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Credit Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise,
all as though such payment had not been made.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in any other Credit Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with any Permitted Liens securing
Purchase Money Indebtedness, Capital Lease Obligations or Attributable Debt, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to,
or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to subordinate the Lien on any Collateral to such
Permitted Liens securing Purchase Money Indebtedness, Capital Lease Obligations or Attributable Debt (other than in
connection with any such Indebtedness that is secured by Liens
permitted by clause (x) or clause (p) (as it relates to clause (x)) of the definition of “Permitted Liens.”).
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything
in the Credit Documents to the contrary, at the direction of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, in exercising
remedies, take any and all necessary and appropriate action to effectuate a credit bid of all Loans (or any lesser amount thereof)
for the Borrower’s assets in a bankruptcy, foreclosure or other similar proceeding, forbear from exercising remedies upon
an Event of Default, or in a bankruptcy proceeding, enter into a settlement agreement on behalf of all Lenders.
(g) If at any time the Investment Grade Condition
is attained, the Borrower may request that the Collateral be released from the Liens created by Collateral Documents (including,
if applicable, under the HoldCo Pledge Agreement but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Subsidiary Guarantee), and upon
the Borrower’s delivery to the Administrative Agent of an officers’ certificate certifying that the Investment Grade
Condition has been attained the Collateral Documents shall be automatically terminated and all such Collateral shall be released
from the Liens created by the Collateral Documents without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.
(h) If any Collateral has been released from
the Liens created by the Security Agreement pursuant to Section 9.16(g), then on any Reversion Date (the “IG Reinstatement
Condition”), the Loan Parties shall, within 60 days of the written request of the Administrative Agent (or such later
date as the Administrative Agent may agree):
(i) (A) enter into a new Security
Agreement and any other applicable Collateral Document to replace the terminated Security Agreement or Collateral Document, as
applicable, and (B) deliver to the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) (including by telecopy or email transmission) a counterpart
of the Security Agreement and other applicable Collateral Document signed on behalf of each Loan Party, and the Security Agreement
and other applicable Collateral Documents shall be in full force and effect;
(ii) deliver to the Administrative
Agent the results of a recent Lien search with respect to each Loan Party, and such search shall reveal no Liens on any of the
assets of the Loan Parties except for Liens permitted by Section 6.02 or discharged on or prior to the date of the applicability
of the IG Reinstatement Condition;
(iii) file in the proper form each
Uniform Commercial Code financing statement or other filing required by the Collateral Documents and confirm that all other perfection
steps required by the Collateral Documents shall have been taken; and/or
(iv) deliver to the Administrative
Agent a copy of, or a certificate as to coverage under, the insurance policies required by Section 5.05 and the applicable provisions
of the Collateral Documents, any casualty policies of which shall be endorsed or otherwise amended to include a “standard”
or “New York” additional lender’s additional loss payable endorsement and any general liability policy of which
shall name the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as additional insured, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9.17 No Fiduciary Duty.
The Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph,
the “Lenders”) may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders
and/or their affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary
or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders
or its Affiliates, on the other. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit
Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions
between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process
leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its stockholders
or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated under the Credit Documents (or the exercise of rights or remedies
with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or
will advise any Credit Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party
in each case except the
obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and
(y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Credit Party, its management, stockholders
or creditors under the Credit Documents. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial
advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to
such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered
advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party under the Credit Documents
in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
SECTION 9.18 Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit
Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”).
If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest
shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining
whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such
Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or
premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and
spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
SECTION 9.19 Acknowledgement and Consent
to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other
agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected
Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable
Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by.
| (a) | the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority
to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution;
and |
| (b) | the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: |
| (i) | a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability; |
| (ii) | a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership
in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred
on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any
such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or |
| (iii) | the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down
and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority. |
SECTION 9.20 Acknowledgement Regarding
Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements
or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported
QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
(together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of
such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any
Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other
state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC
(each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer
of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC
and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered
Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the
Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest,
obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event
a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime,
Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be
exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised
under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States
or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the
parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported
QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
