AMOUNT AND TERMS OF LOANS

Section 2.01. The Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally (and not jointly) agrees to make Loans in Dollars to the Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment; provided that if, for any reason, the Borrower has elected in its sole discretion not to request a drawing of the full amount of any Lender’s Commitment on the Closing Date, the undrawn portion thereof shall automatically be cancelled upon giving effect to the funding of the drawn Loans on the Closing Date. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.01 and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Each Lender’s Commitment shall terminate (or be reduced, as applicable) immediately and without further action (i) on the Closing Date after giving effect to the funding of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment in full on the Closing Date or (ii) in accordance with Section 2.04. At the option of the Borrower, indicated in a Borrowing Request (which such Borrowing Request shall not include any representations and warranties or any certifications, in each case, as a condition to the funding of all the Loans), Loans may be made as ABR Loans or Term SOFR Loans.

Section 2.02. Notice of Borrowing. The Borrower agrees to deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Request no later than (a) 12:00 P.M. on the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of Loans that consist of ABR Loans and (b) 12:00 P.M. at least one Domestic Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing Date in the case of Loans that consist of Term SOFR Loans; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Borrowing Request delivered by the Borrower may state that such Borrowing Request is conditioned upon the consummation of the Oak Street Acquisition having occurred or occurring substantially concurrently with the making and the funding of the Loans being requested hereunder (such Borrowing Request to specify the proposed effective date of the Oak Street Acquisition), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied and the Borrower indemnifies the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.05, if and to the extent applicable. Such notice shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount requested to be borrowed under the Commitments, (ii) the proposed Borrowing Date, (iii) whether the borrowing of Loans is to be made as an ABR Loan or as a Term SOFR Loan and (iv) the Interest Period, in the case of a Term SOFR Loan; provided, however, that such notice shall not include any representations and warranties or any certifications, in each case, as a condition to the funding of any of the Loans. Each Term SOFR Loan to be made on the Borrowing Date shall equal no less than $10,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each ABR Loan made on the Borrowing Date shall equal no less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender (by telephone or otherwise, such notification to be confirmed by fax, email or other writing) of such Borrowing Request. Subject to its receipt of each such notice from the Administrative Agent and subject to the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with Section 10.01) of the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender shall make immediately available funds available to the Administrative Agent at the address therefor set forth in Section 10.02 not later than 10:00 A.M. on the Borrowing Date in a principal amount equal to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment.

Section 2.03. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower agrees that the proceeds of the Loans shall be used solely to finance the Oak Street Acquisition and to pay fees, commissions and expenses in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the Borrower further agrees that no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately (a) for a purpose which violates Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 4.09 or (b) to make a loan to any director or executive officer of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

Section 2.04. Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Voluntary Termination or Reductions. At the Borrower’s option in its sole and absolute discretion and upon at least one Domestic Business Day’s prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may (i) terminate the Commitments at any time, or (ii) permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment Amount, in part at any time and from time to time, provided, that each such partial reduction shall be in an amount equal to at least $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or the entire remaining amount of the Commitments; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or transactions (such notice to specify the proposed effective date of such other credit facilities or transactions), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied and the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.05, if and to the extent applicable.

(b) Termination on Commitment Termination Date. Unless previously terminated by the Borrower in its sole and absolute discretion pursuant to Section 2.04(a) above, the Commitments shall terminate on the first to occur of (i) the consummation of the Oak Street Acquisition without borrowing of the Loans, (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms and such termination having either been publicly announced by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent having received written notice thereof from the Borrower (which written notice the Borrower agrees to provide upon such termination) and (iii) the End Date (the date of such earliest occurrence, the “Commitment Termination Date”) unless the making and the funding of all the Loans has occurred on or prior to the Commitment Termination Date subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that the termination of the Commitments shall not prejudice the rights and remedies of the Borrower in respect of any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that occurred prior to such termination. Any termination of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be permanent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, prior to the making and funding of all of the Loans on the Closing Date, the Commitments shall only be terminated or reduced pursuant to this Section 2.04 or Section 2.05(b).

Upon receipt of each such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each such notice given by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be irrevocable, provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary on the foregoing, a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or transactions (such notice to specify the proposed effective date of such other credit facilities or transactions), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied and the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.05, if and to the extent applicable. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be (A) in the case of Term SOFR Loans, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or the entire remaining amount of the Loans, and (B) in the case of ABR Loans, in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or the entire remaining amount of the Loans. Each prepayment of the Loans shall be applied ratably to the Loans.

(b) Mandatory Commitment Reductions and Prepayments.

(i) In the event that the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries actually receives following the Effective Date any Net Cash Proceeds arising from any Debt Issuance, Equity Issuance or Asset Sale (i) prior to the Closing Date, then the Commitments shall be automatically reduced in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds on the date of such actual receipt by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds or (ii) on or after the Closing Date, then the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds not later than three Domestic Business Days following such actual receipt by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(ii) Any reduction of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be permanent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of any reduction in the Commitments in whole or in part pursuant to this Section 2.05(b). Each reduction of the Aggregate Commitment Amount or prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments or Loans (as applicable) (or as between Lenders that are Affiliates of each other, as they may determine and notify the Administrative Agent).

Article III

PROCEEDS, PAYMENTS, CONVERSIONS, INTEREST, YIELD PROTECTION AND FEES

Section 3.01. Disbursement of the Proceeds of the Loans. The Administrative Agent shall disburse the proceeds of the Loans at its office specified in Section 10.02 by wire transfer to the Borrower in accordance with instructions provided in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received prior notice from a Lender (by telephone or otherwise, such notice to be confirmed by fax, email or other writing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s share of the Loans to be made by it on the Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the Borrowing Date in accordance with this Section 3.01, provided, that such Lender received notice thereof from the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on the Borrowing Date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand, such corresponding amount (to the extent not previously paid by the other), together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to, in the case of the Borrower, the applicable interest rate set forth in Section 3.04(a) and, in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate (but not less than 0.0%) from the date such payment is due until the third day after such date and, thereafter, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate (but not less than 0.0%) plus 2%. Any such payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to its rights against such Lender. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Loans for purposes of this Agreement, which Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender on the Borrowing Date applicable to such Loans.

Section 3.02. Payments.

(a) Each payment, including each prepayment, of principal and interest on the Loans (collectively, together with all of the other fees to be paid to the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and the Lenders under this Agreement and the Fee Letter, the “Fees”), and of all of the other amounts to be paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loan Documents (other than amounts payable to a Lender under Section 3.05, Section 3.06, Section 3.10, Section 10.05 and Section 10.10) shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its office specified in Section 10.02 without setoff, deduction or counterclaim in funds immediately available in New York by 3:00 P.M. on the due date for such payment. The failure of the Borrower to make any such payment by such time shall not constitute a default hereunder, provided, that such payment is made on such due date, but any such payment made after 3:00 P.M. on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the next Domestic Business Day for the purpose of calculating interest on amounts outstanding on the Loans. If the Borrower has not made any such payment prior to 3:00 P.M., the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deduct the amount of any such payment from such account(s) as the Borrower may from time to time designate in writing to the Administrative Agent, upon which the Administrative Agent shall apply the amount of such deduction to such payment. Promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, each payment of principal and interest on the Loans shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent in like funds as received to each Lender (i) first, pro rata according to the amount of interest which is then due and payable to the Lenders, and (ii) second, pro rata according to the amount of principal which is then due and payable to the Lenders.

(b) If any payment hereunder or under the Loans shall be due and payable on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the due date thereof (except as otherwise provided in the definition of Interest Period) shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day and interest shall be payable at the applicable rate specified herein during such extension.

Section 3.03. Conversions; Other Matters.

(a) The Borrower may elect at any time and from time to time to Convert one or more Term SOFR Loans to an ABR Loan by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Domestic Business Day’s prior irrevocable written notice of such election, specifying the amount to be so Converted. In addition, the Borrower may elect at any time and from time to time to Convert an ABR Loan to any one or more new Term SOFR Loans or to Convert any one or more existing Term SOFR Loans to any one or more new Term SOFR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 A.M. at least two Domestic Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice of such election, specifying the amount to be so Converted and the initial Interest Period relating thereto; provided, that any Conversion of an ABR Loan to a Term SOFR Loan shall only be made on a Domestic Business Day; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice of Conversion delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or transactions (such notice to specify the proposed effective date of such other credit facilities or transactions), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied and the Borrower indemnifies the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.05, if and to the extent applicable. The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide the Lenders with notice of each such election. Each Conversion of Loans shall be made pro rata according to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. ABR Loans and Term SOFR Loans may be Converted pursuant to this Section 3.03 in whole or in part; provided, that the amount to be Converted to each Term SOFR Loan, when aggregated with any Term SOFR Loan to be made on such date in accordance with Section 2.01 and having the same Interest Period as such first Term SOFR Loan, shall equal no less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or the entire remaining amount of the Loans.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall not have the right to elect to Convert any existing ABR Loan to a Term SOFR Loan or to Convert any existing Term SOFR Loan to a new Term SOFR Loan if (i) a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(b), Section 8.01(g), Section 8.01(h) or Section 8.01(i) shall then exist, or (ii) any other Event of Default shall then exist and the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower at the request of the Required Lenders that no ABR Loan or Term SOFR Loan may be Converted to a new Term SOFR Loan. In such event, such ABR Loan shall be automatically continued as an ABR Loan or such Term SOFR Loan shall be automatically Converted to an ABR Loan on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Term SOFR Loan. The foregoing shall not affect any other rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Each Conversion shall be effected by each Lender by applying the proceeds of each new ABR Loan or Term SOFR Loan, as the case may be, to the existing ABR Loan or Term SOFR Loan (or portion thereof) being Converted (it being understood that such Conversion shall not constitute a borrowing for purposes of Article IV or Section 5.02).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document:

(i) if the Borrower shall have failed to elect a Term SOFR Loan under Section 2.02 or this Section 3.03, as the case may be, in connection with the borrowing of Loans or expiration of an Interest Period with respect to any existing Term SOFR Loan, the amount of the Loans subject to the borrowing or such existing Term SOFR Loan shall thereafter be an ABR Loan until such time, if any, as the Borrower shall elect a new Term SOFR Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03, and

(ii) the Borrower shall not be permitted to select a Term SOFR Loan the Interest Period in respect of which ends later than the Maturity Date.

Section 3.04. Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

Term SOFR Loans		Term SOFR applicable thereto plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Late Payment Rate. Any payment of overdue principal or interest on the Loans, Fees or other amounts payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(a), 8.01(b), 8.01 (g), 8.01 (h) or 8.01(i), bear interest, in the case of principal or interest on a Loan, at the applicable interest rate on such Loan plus 2% per annum and, in the case of any Fees or other amounts, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% per annum, in each case from the due date thereof until the date such payment is made (whether before or after the entry of any judgment thereon).

(c) Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at no time shall the interest rate payable to any Lender on any of its Loans, together with the Fees and all other amounts payable hereunder to such Lender to the extent the same constitute or are deemed to constitute interest, exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If in respect of any period during the term of this Agreement, any amount paid to any Lender hereunder, to the extent the same shall (but for the provisions of this Section 3.04) constitute or be deemed to constitute interest, would exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by the Highest Lawful Rate during such period (such amount being hereinafter referred to as an “Unqualified Amount”), then (i) such Unqualified Amount shall be applied or shall be deemed to have been applied as a prepayment of the Loans of such Lender, and (ii) if, in any subsequent period during the term of this Agreement, all amounts payable hereunder to such Lender in respect of such period which constitute or shall be deemed to constitute interest shall be less than the maximum amount of interest permitted by the Highest Lawful Rate during such period, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender in respect of such period an amount (each a “Compensatory Interest Payment”) equal to the lesser of (x) a sum which, when added to all such amounts, would equal the maximum amount of interest permitted by the Highest Lawful Rate during such period, and (y) an amount equal to the aggregate sum of all Unqualified Amounts less all other Compensatory Interest Payments.

(d) General. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, on the Maturity Date, to the extent provided in Section 2.05(d) and upon each prepayment of the Loans. Any change in the interest rate on the Loans resulting from an increase or a decrease in the Alternate Base Rate or any reserve requirement shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change shall become effective. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the Alternate Base Rate and Term SOFR pursuant to this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error. The Borrower acknowledges that to the extent interest payable on the Loans is based on the Alternate Base Rate, such rate is only one of the bases for computing interest on loans made by the Lenders, and by basing interest payable on ABR Loans on the Alternate Base Rate, the Lenders have not committed to charge, and the Borrower has not in any way bargained for, interest based on a lower or the lowest rate at which the Lenders may now or in the future make extensions of credit to other Persons. All interest (other than interest calculated with reference to the Alternate Base Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed, and all interest determined with reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(e) No Warranty. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility for, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to any reference rate referred to herein or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any such rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any liability arising out of the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions or other activities that affect any reference rate referred to herein, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing) or any related spread or other 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 reference rate referred to herein or any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including, without limitation, any Successor Rate) (or any component of any of the foregoing), 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 other action or omission related to or affecting the selection, determination, or calculation of any rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any liability arising out of the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrative Agent.

Section 3.05. Indemnification for Loss. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if: (i) the Borrower shall fail to borrow a Term SOFR Loan or if the Borrower shall fail to Convert all or any portion of any Loan constituting an ABR Loan to a Term SOFR Loan after it shall have given notice to do so in which it shall have requested a Term SOFR Loan pursuant to Section 2.02 or Section 3.03, as the case may be, (ii) a Term SOFR Loan shall be terminated for any reason prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) any repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of a Term SOFR Loan is made for any reason on a date that is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) the Borrower shall have revoked a Borrowing Request, a notice of prepayment, a notice of termination of the Commitments or a notice of Conversion that was conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or transactions pursuant to Section 2.02, Section 2.04, Section 2.05 or Section 3.03, or (v) a Term SOFR Loan is assigned other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a replacement of a Lender pursuant to clause (x) of Section 3.12, then the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender against, and to pay on demand directly to such Lender the amount (calculated by such Lender using any method chosen by such Lender which is customarily used by such Lender for such purpose for borrowers similar to the Borrower) equal to any loss or expense suffered by such Lender as a result of such failure to borrow or Convert, or such termination, repayment, prepayment or revocation, including any loss, cost or expense suffered by such Lender in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the funding of such Term SOFR Loan or redeploying funds prepaid or repaid, in amounts which correspond to such Term SOFR Loan, and any reasonable internal processing charge customarily charged by such Lender in connection therewith for borrowers similar to the Borrower.

Section 3.06. Reimbursement for Costs, Etc. If at any time or from time to time there shall occur a Regulatory Change and any Lender shall have reasonably determined that such Regulatory Change (i) shall have had or will thereafter have the effect of reducing (A) the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or liquidity or the capital or liquidity of any Person directly or indirectly owning or controlling such Lender (each a “Control Person”), or (B) the asset value (for capital or liquidity purposes) to such Lender or such Control Person, as applicable, of the Loans, or any participation therein, in any case to a level below that which such Lender or such Control Person could have achieved or would thereafter be able to achieve but for such Regulatory Change (after taking into account such Lender’s or such Control Person’s policies regarding capital or liquidity), (ii) will impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, asset, special deposit or special assessment requirements on Term SOFR Loans or (iii) will subject such Lender or such Control Person, as applicable, to any tax (documentary, stamp or otherwise) with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, in the case of clause (iii) above, for any Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes) then, in each such case, within ten days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender or such Control Person, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Control Person, as the case may be, for any such reduction, reserve or other requirement, tax, loss, cost or expense (excluding general administrative and overhead costs) (collectively, “Costs”) attributable to such Lender’s or such Control Person’s compliance during the term hereof with such Regulatory Change, but only if such Costs are generally applicable to (and for which reimbursement is generally being sought by such Lender or such Control Person, as applicable, in respect of) credit transactions similar to this transaction from similarly situated borrowers (which are parties to credit or loan documentation containing a provision similar to this Section 3.06), as determined by such Lender in its reasonable discretion. Each Lender may make multiple requests for compensation under this Section 3.06.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will not be required to compensate any Lender for any Costs under this Section 3.06 arising prior to 45 days preceding the date of demand, unless the applicable Regulatory Change giving rise to such Costs is imposed retroactively. In the case of retroactivity, such notice shall be provided to the Borrower not later than 45 days from the date that such Lender learned of such Regulatory Change. The Borrower’s obligation to compensate such Lender shall be contingent upon the provision of such timely notice (but any failure by such Lender to provide such timely notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations with respect to (i) Costs incurred from the date as of which such Regulatory Change became effective to the date that is 45 days after the date such Lender reasonably should have learned of such Regulatory Change and (ii) Costs incurred following the provision of such notice).

Section 3.07. Illegality of Funding. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Lender shall reasonably determine that any law, regulation, treaty or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Loans whose interest rates are based upon SOFR or Term SOFR, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, and (a) the commitment of such Lender to make such Term SOFR Loans or Convert ABR Loans to such Term SOFR Loans shall forthwith be suspended, (b) such Lender shall fund its portion of each requested Term SOFR dollar as an ABR Loan, (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as such Term SOFR Loans, if any, shall be Converted automatically to an ABR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto or at such earlier time as may be required and (d) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining ABR Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to One Month SOFR Rate, the interest rate on which ABR Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the One Month SOFR Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate. If the commitment of any Lender with respect to Term SOFR Loans is suspended pursuant to this Section 3.07 and such Lender shall have obtained actual knowledge that it is once again legal for such Lender to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof and, upon receipt of such notice by each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s commitment to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans shall be reinstated. If the commitment of any Lender with respect to Term SOFR Loans is suspended pursuant to this Section 3.07, such suspension shall not otherwise affect such Lender’s Commitment.

Section 3.08. Option to Fund; Substituted Interest Rate.

(a) Each Lender has indicated that, if the Borrower requests a Term SOFR Loan, such Lender may wish to purchase one or more deposits in order to fund or maintain its funding of its Loan during the Interest Period with respect thereto; it being understood that the provisions of this Agreement relating to such funding are included only for the purpose of determining the rate of interest to be paid in respect of such Term SOFR Loan and any amounts owing under Section 3.05 and Section 3.06. Each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of each Term SOFR Loan in any manner it sees fit, but all such determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained its Loan during the applicable Interest Period through the purchase of deposits in an amount equal to the amount of its Loan and having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period. Each Lender may fund its Loans from or for the account of any branch or office of such Lender as such Lender may choose from time to time, subject to Section 3.10.

(b) If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or a Conversion to or continuation thereof, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 3.08(c), and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 3.08(c) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining (1) Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or (2) the One Month SOFR Rate in connection with an existing or proposed ABR Loan or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason that (A) Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or (B) the One Month SOFR Rate with respect to a proposed ABR Loan, in any case, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans or to Convert ABR Loans to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the One Month SOFR Rate component of the Alternate Base Rate, the utilization of the One Month SOFR Rate in determining the Alternate Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case, until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (ii) of this Section 3.08(b), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, Conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Loans (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have Converted such request into a request for a borrowing of ABR Loans in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been Converted to ABR Loans immediately at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower determine (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or the Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement (A) identifying a specific date after which one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of Dollar denominated U.S. syndicated loans or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date or (B) announcing that the one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are not, or as of a specified future date will not be, representative;

(iii) then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, (i) solely with respect to clause (ii)(A) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date and (ii) solely with respect to clause (ii)(B) above, no later than the first date on which the one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate have been announced to be non-representative; provided that such non-representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in clause (ii)(B) above and even if any interest period of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate continues to be provided on such date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Successor Rate”).

If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.08(c)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 3.08 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark. and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Successor Rate”. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Domestic Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower).

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes in the discretion of the Administrative Agent and in consultation with the Borrower will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

Section 3.09. Certificates of Payment and Reimbursement

. Each Lender agrees, in connection with any request by it for payment or reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.05 or Section 3.06, to provide the Borrower with a certificate, signed by an officer of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ setting forth a description in reasonable detail of any such payment or reimbursement and the applicable Section of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with which such request is made. Each determination by such Lender of such payment or reimbursement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 3.10. Taxes; Net Payments.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes, provided, that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.10), the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Indemnified Taxes been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. For purposes of this Section 3.10, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.10) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and, without duplication, any penalties, interest and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than any penalties that result from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction); provided that if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes so long as such efforts would not result in any additional costs or expenses not reimbursed by the Borrower and such cooperation would not, in the judgment of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, be materially disadvantageous to it. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability that complies with Section 3.9 and is delivered to the Borrower by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. After any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ learns of the imposition of any Indemnified Taxes, such Lender will as soon as reasonably practicable notify the Borrower thereof; provided that the failure to provide the Borrower with such notice shall not release the Borrower from its indemnification obligations under this Section 3.10. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.10, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.10 for any additional costs, such as penalties or interest, to the extent that such costs resulted from a failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to notify the Borrower of such possible indemnification claim within 180 days after the Administrative Agent or such Lender receives notice from the applicable taxing authority of the tax giving rise to such indemnification claim.

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

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.07(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for Tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter (i) if such Foreign Lender shall determine that any applicable form or certification has expired or will then expire or has or will then become obsolete or incorrect or that an event has occurred that requires or will then require a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (ii) upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate (a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code nor (D) engaged in the conduct of a trade or business within the United States to which the interest payment is effectively connected and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E,

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating Lender granting a typical participation), a complete and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, a United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender shall provide a United States Tax Compliance Certificate, on behalf of such beneficial owner(s) in lieu of requiring each beneficial owner to provide its own certificate, or

(v) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, upon request of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code that lends to the Borrower (each, a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower two duly signed, properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 on or prior to the Effective Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding, or any successor form.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any 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 3.10, it shall promptly pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.10 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, is required to repay such refund or Tax credit to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph 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 that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(h) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.06, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.10, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly 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 such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.06 or this Section 3.10, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) in the judgment of such Lender 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 and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

The Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its Property and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real Property or in which the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified (except those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect).

Section 4.02. Authority; Affected Financial Institution.

(a) The Borrower has full corporate power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform the terms of the Loan Documents, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary corporate action.

(b) The entry into the Loan Documents by the Borrower is not in contravention of (i) except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect, any applicable law or (ii) the terms of its Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws.

(c) No consent or approval of, or other action by, shareholders of the Borrower, any Governmental Authority, or any other Person (which has not already been obtained) is required to authorize in respect of the Borrower, or is required in connection with, the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents or is required as a condition to the enforceability of the Loan Documents against the Borrower.

(d) The Borrower is not an Affected Financial Institution.

Section 4.03. Binding Agreement. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles relating to the availability of specific performance as a remedy.

Section 4.04. Litigation. As of the Effective Date, there are no actions, suits, arbitration proceedings or claims (whether purportedly on behalf of the Borrower, any Material Subsidiary or otherwise) pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary or any of their respective Properties, or maintained by the Borrower or any Material Subsidiary, at law or in equity, before any Governmental Authority which have not been disclosed in the SEC Reports that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) No provision of any existing material mortgage, material indenture, material contract or material agreement or of any existing statute, rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the Borrower or affecting the Property of the Borrower (i) conflicts with any Loan Document, (ii) requires any consent which has not already been obtained with respect to any Loan Document, or (iii) would in any way prevent the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of the terms of any Loan Document, except in the case of provisions of any existing material mortgage, material indenture, material contract or material agreement, as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect. Neither the execution and delivery, nor the performance, by the Borrower of the terms of each Loan Document will constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of, or obligation to create, any Lien upon the Property of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement.

(b) Dividend Restrictions existing with respect to any Person acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary and existing at the time of such acquisition, which Dividend Restrictions are not applicable to any Person or the property or assets of any Person other than such Person or its property or assets acquired, and any extensions, refinancings, renewals or replacements of any of the foregoing; provided, that the Dividend Restrictions in any such extensions, refinancings, renewals or replacements are no less favorable in any material respect to the Lenders than those Dividend Restrictions that are then in effect and that are being extended, refinanced, renewed or replaced;

Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints Barclays to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX (other than Section 9.06) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties and the Borrower shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary or otherwise of any of such provisions.

Section 9.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person 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 the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

Section 9.03. Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

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

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.01 and Article VIII) or (ii) 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 notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

(c) 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 Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public accounting firms 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, accounting firm or experts.

Section 9.05. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX 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 the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.06. Resignation of Administrative Agent The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Credit Parties and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (b), (g), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in New York, New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Credit Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, subject to, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (b), (g), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Credit Parties that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Credit Party directly, until such time as the Required Lenders and, in the absence of any Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (b), (g), (h) or (i) the Borrower appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). 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 retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.05 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 the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 9.07. Non Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Credit Parties. Each Credit Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Credit Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.08. No Other Duties, Etc. Except as expressly set forth herein with respect to the Initial Arrangers, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners or the Co-Syndication Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender.

Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement (including Section 3.08), with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, from time to time, enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications of the Loan Documents (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall require the prior written consent of the Borrower) and, with the written consent of the Required Lenders and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may execute and deliver to any such parties a written instrument waiving or consenting to the departure from, on such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may specify in such instrument (which terms and conditions shall have been agreed to by the Borrower), any of the requirements of the Loan Documents or any Default or any Event of Default and its consequences, provided, that no such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent shall (i) increase the Commitment Amount of any Lender without the consent of such Lender (provided, that no waiver of a Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to constitute such an increase), (ii) extend the Commitment Termination Date without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) reduce the amount, or extend the time of payment, of the Fees without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) reduce the rate, or extend the time of payment of, interest on any Loan or any Note (other than the applicability of any post-default increase in such rate of interest) without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (v) reduce the amount of, or extend the time of payment of, any payment of any principal on any Loan or any Note without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (vi) decrease or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or any Note without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (vii) consent to any assignment or delegation by the Borrower of any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document without the consent of each Lender, (viii) change the provisions of this Section 10.01 without the consent of each Lender, (ix) change the definition of Required Lenders without the consent of each Lender, (x) change the several nature of the obligations of the Lenders without the consent of each Lender, or (xi) change the sharing provisions among Lenders without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, further, that the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of the Initial Arrangers only shall be required for any waiver or amendment of any condition precedent set forth in Section 5.01 or Section 5.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to the receipt of the prior written consents of the Borrower and the Required Lenders, no such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent shall amend, modify or waive any provision of Article IX or otherwise change any of the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. Any such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or consent shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the parties to the applicable Loan Document, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans and the Notes. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights under the Loan Documents, but any Default or Event of Default waived shall not extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.01, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error, ambiguity, defect, inconsistency, omission or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same (x) does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or (y) is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent within five Domestic Business Days following receipt of notice thereof. Any amendment, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.01 shall be binding upon each Person that is at the time thereof a Lender and each Person that subsequently becomes a Lender.

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Credit Parties hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including email and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Credit Party pursuant to Article II or Section 3.03 if such Credit Party has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Sections by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an email address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” or “read requested” function, as available, return email or other written acknowledgement); provided, that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Domestic Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its email address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

Any party hereto may change its address, facsimile number or email address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (or, in the case of any Lender, by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower). Subject to the second paragraph of Section 10.02(b), all notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt; provided, that any such notice or communication that is not received on a Domestic Business Day during the normal business hours of the recipient shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Domestic Business Day.

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

Section 10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges under the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Section 10.04. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant thereto or in connection therewith shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents.

Section 10.05. Payment of Expenses; Indemnified Liabilities.

(a) The Borrower agrees, as soon as practicable following presentation of a statement or invoice therefor setting forth in reasonable detail the items thereof, and whether any Loan is made, (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with the development, syndication, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or modification to, the Loan Documents, any documents prepared in connection therewith and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, whether such Loan Documents or any such amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or modification to the Loan Documents or any documents prepared in connection therewith are executed and whether the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and disbursements, (b) to pay, indemnify, and hold the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities and penalties with respect to, or resulting from any delay (other than penalties to the extent attributable to the negligence of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in failing to pay such fees, liabilities or penalties when due) which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, the Loan Documents or any documents prepared in connection therewith, and (c) to pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of one counsel (but excluding the allocated cost of internal counsel) representing all of the Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of a single local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction (and, if reasonably necessary, one specialty counsel for each applicable specialty), representing all of the Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Person affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction (which may include a single counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) (and, if reasonably necessary, one specialty counsel for each applicable specialty), for each such affected Indemnified Person))) actually incurred with respect to the enforcement, performance of, and preservation of rights under, the Loan Documents (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”) and, if and to the extent that the foregoing indemnity may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower agrees to make the maximum payment permitted under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.05, the foregoing payment, indemnification and reimbursement obligations will not, as to any Person identified in this Section 10.05, apply to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses to the extent arising (A) from the willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or bad faith of such Person, (B) from a material breach of the obligations hereunder of such Person, (C) out of or in connection with Section 10.22, or (D) out of or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by any such Person against any such other Person (other than the Administrative Agent or a Joint Lead Arranger, in each case, in its capacity as such), in each case under clauses (A) and (B), to the extent determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment of the Loans and the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

(b) Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower shall have no liability under this Section 10.05 to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Person for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses relating to income or withholding Taxes or any Tax in lieu of such Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts claimed by an Indemnified Person under Section 10.10 shall not be available to be claimed by such Indemnified Person under this Section 10.05, it being understood and agreed that the rights of an Indemnified Person under this Section 10.05 and Section 10.10 shall not be duplicative.

Section 10.06. Lending Offices. Each Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to transfer any Loan to a different office of such Lender, subject to Section 3.10.

Section 10.07. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 10.07, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of this Section 10.07 or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (f) of this Section 10.07 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, the Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) of this Section 10.07 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each Credit Party) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitment Amount and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in clause (b)(i)(A) of this Section 10.07, the Commitment Amount or, if the Commitment of the assigning Lender is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of such “Trade Date”) shall not be less than $10,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), (b), (g), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) of this Section 10.07 and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent, (1) in the Borrower’s sole discretion on or prior to the Closing Date or (2) not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed after the Closing Date) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), (b), (g), (h) or (i) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to (1) a Lender, on or prior to the Closing Date, or (2) a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, after the Closing Date (it being understood that it shall not be deemed unreasonable for the Borrower to withhold consent to any assignment if it reasonably believes that such assignment would result in the Borrower incurring increased costs pursuant to Section 3.06 or Section 3.10); and

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of such facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. 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 may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Parties. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) any Disqualified Institution.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of a natural person).

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 10.07, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.06, Section 3.07, and Section 10.10 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section 10.07.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) 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 or any Lender (but only, in the case of a Lender, at the Administrative Agent’s Office and with respect to any entry relating to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitments, Loans and other obligations pursuant to the terms hereof), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated by or for the primary benefit of a natural person), the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates or, provided that the list of Persons identified in writing by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent as “Disqualified Institutions” pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the definition thereof (other than the portion of clause (c) of the definition thereof referring to Affiliates of the Persons identified pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof that are clearly identifiable by name) shall have been made available by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (and the Borrower hereby instructs the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees, to post such list to the Lenders), any Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided, that (i) all of such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in all respects unchanged, including, without limitation, its obligation to timely make and fund its Loans on the Closing Date, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Credit Party shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, after the making and the funding of its Loans on the Closing Date, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver which requires the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders that directly affects such Participant. Subject to clause (e) of this Section 10.07, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.05, Section 3.06, Section 3.07 and Section 3.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 10.07. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09(a) as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 10.09(b) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation with respect to a Commitment or Loan shall, solely for the purposes of complying with the rules regarding registered form in the Internal Revenue Code, act as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintaining a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Commitment and/or Loan (each a “Participant Register”), and the entries in such Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall be required to disclose the existence of, or any of the information contained in, any Participant Register maintained by it to the Borrower or any other Person unless requested in writing by the Borrower, and only to the Internal Revenue Service to the extent such disclosure is required in order to comply with the rules requiring registered form pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.05, Section 3.06, Section 3.07 or Section 3.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.10 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.10(f) as though it were a Lender.

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

(g) Assignments to Disqualified Institutions. (i) No assignment shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (the “Trade Date”) on which the applicable Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person (unless the Borrower has consented to such assignment in writing as otherwise contemplated by this Section 10.07, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, and/or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (x) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender and (y) the execution and delivery by the Borrower of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment in violation of this clause (g)(i) shall not be void, but the other provisions of this clause (g) shall apply.

(ii) If any assignment is made to any Disqualified Institution without the Borrower’s prior consent in violation of clause (i) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and the Administrative Agent, (A) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Institution and repay all obligations of the Borrower owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Commitment, and/or (B) require such Disqualified Institution to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 10.07), all of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations at the lesser of (x) the principal amount thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder and other the other Loan Documents.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Disqualified Institutions (A) will not (x) have the right to receive information, reports or other materials provided to Lenders by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (y) attend or participate in meetings attended by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, or (z) access any electronic site established for the Lenders or confidential communications from counsel to or financial advisors of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and (B) (x) for purposes of any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of, or any action under, and for the purpose of any direction to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Disqualified Institution will be deemed to have consented in the same proportion as the Lenders that are not Disqualified Institutions consented to such matter, and (y) for purposes of voting on any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency laws (“Plan of Reorganization”), each Disqualified Institution party hereto hereby agrees (1) not to vote on such Plan of Reorganization, (2) if such Disqualified Institution does vote on such Plan of Reorganization notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing clause (1), such vote will be deemed not to be in good faith and shall be “designated” pursuant to Section 1126(e) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other bankruptcy or insolvency laws), and such vote shall not be counted in determining whether the applicable class has accepted or rejected such Plan of Reorganization in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in any other bankruptcy or insolvency laws) and (3) not to contest any request by any party for a determination by the bankruptcy court (or other applicable court of competent jurisdiction) effectuating the foregoing clause (2).

Section 10.08. Counterparts; Electronic Execution .

(a) Counterparts. Each of the Loan Documents (other than the Notes) may be executed on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. It shall not be necessary in making proof of any Loan Document to produce or account for more than one counterpart signed by the party to be charged. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all of the parties hereto shall be lodged with each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of any Loan Document by fax or other electronic means (e.g., “.pdf” or “.tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such Loan Document.

(b) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption, this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 10.09. Set-off and Sharing of Payments.

(a) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or Section 8.01(b) or upon the acceleration of the Loans, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, to set-off and apply against any indebtedness or other liability of the Borrower to such Lender arising under the Loan Documents, any amount owing from such Lender to the Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against the Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy, custodian, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Borrower, or against anyone else claiming through or against the Borrower or such trustee in bankruptcy, custodian, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receivers, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such Lender prior to the making, filing or issuance of, service upon such Lender of, or notice to such Lender of, any petition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver, or issuance of execution, subpoena, order or warrant. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after each such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(b) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of its Loans or its Notes in excess of its pro rata share (in accordance with the outstanding principal balance of all Loans) of payments then due and payable on account of the Loans and Notes received by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase, without recourse, for cash, from the other Lenders, such participations in their Loans and Notes as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment with each of them according to their pro rata share (in accordance with the outstanding principal balance of all Loans); provided, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and each such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 10.09 may exercise such rights to payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The provisions of this Section 10.09 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to, and in accordance with, the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender or Disqualified Institution), (y) the application of cash collateral as provided herein, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.

Section 10.10. Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party and each Related Party thereof (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Person”) against, and hold each Indemnified Person harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of one counsel (but excluding the allocated cost of internal counsel) representing all of the Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, of a single local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction (which may include a single counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) (and, if reasonably necessary, one specialty counsel for each applicable specialty), representing all of the Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of any actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Person affected by such conflict notifies the Borrower of the existence of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for each applicable jurisdiction (and, if reasonably necessary, one specialty counsel for each applicable specialty), for each such affected Indemnified Person)), actually incurred by any Indemnified Person arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or any other transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on statute, contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.10(a), the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses to the extent arising (A) from the willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or bad faith of such Indemnified Person, (B) from a material breach of the obligations hereunder of such Indemnified Person, (C) out of or in connection with Section 10.22, or (D) out of or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person (other than the Administrative Agent or a Joint Lead Arranger, in each case in its capacity as such), in each case under clauses (A) and (B), to the extent determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay as soon as practicable any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under subsection (a) of this Section 10.10 (the “Indemnified Amount”), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the product of such unpaid amount multiplied by (i) at any time when no Loans are outstanding, the percentage equal to the fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Commitments and (B) the denominator of which is the sum of the Aggregate Commitment Amount, and (ii) at any time when Loans are outstanding, the percentage equal to the fraction, (A) the numerator of which is the sum of such Lender’s Loans and (B) the denominator of which is the sum of the Aggregate Loan Amount (in each case determined as of the time that the applicable Indemnified Amount is sought); provided that the Indemnified Amount was payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

(c) The obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders under this Section 10.10 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment of the Loans and the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

(d) If any settlement of any investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.10 or Section 10.05 applies (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) is instituted or threatened against any Indemnified Person (or its Related Parties) in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, unless an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), 8.01(g), 8.01(h) or 8.01(i) exists, the Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Borrower (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person) and after notice from the Borrower to such Indemnified Person of the Borrower’s election so to assume the defense thereof, the Borrower will not be liable to such Indemnified Person hereunder for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs of investigation and such other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses as have been approved in advance; provided, that (i) if counsel for such Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a conflict that requires separate representation for the Borrower and such Indemnified Person or that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person which are different from or in addition to those available to the Borrower or (ii) the Borrower fails to assume or proceed in a timely and reasonable manner with the defense of such action or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in any such action, then in either such event, (A) such Indemnified Person shall be entitled to one primary counsel and, if necessary, one local counsel to represent such Indemnified Person and all other Indemnified Persons similarly situated (such counsels selected by the Administrative Agent), (B) the Borrower shall not, or shall not any longer, be entitled to assume the defense thereof on behalf of such Indemnified Person and (C) such Indemnified Person shall be entitled to indemnification for the expenses (including fees and expenses of such counsel) to the extent provided in this Section 10.10 or in Section 10.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any action or Proceeding effected without the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, it being understood and agreed that the withholding, conditioning or delaying of the Borrower’s consent in connection with a settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any action or proceeding which does not include an unconditional release of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding or which includes a statement as to any admission of fault by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall not be deemed unreasonable), but if settled with the Borrower’s prior written consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Proceeding, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any action or Proceeding in accordance with this Section 10.10 or Section 10.05. The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding against such Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding, (y) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person and (z) contains customary confidentiality provisions with respect to the terms of such settlement.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing will be responsible or liable to any Person or entity, on any theory of liability, for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages that may be alleged as a result of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents or any use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans; provided that nothing in this clause (e) shall limit the Borrower’s indemnity obligations set forth in this Agreement with respect to any indirect, punitive or consequential damages included in any third party claim in connection with which an Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder. In addition to, and without limiting the immediately foregoing sentence, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct and actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement, instrument or other document contemplated thereby, the Transactions, or any the other transactions contemplated hereby or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(f) Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower shall have no liability under this Section 10.10 to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Person for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses relating to income or withholding Taxes or any Tax in lieu of such Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts claimed by an Indemnified Person under Section 10.05 shall not be available to be claimed by such Indemnified Person under this Section 10.10, it being understood and agreed that the rights of an Indemnified Person under this Section 10.10 and Section 10.05 shall not be duplicative.

Section 10.11. Governing Law. The Loan Documents and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of New York; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the determination of whether the Oak Street Acquisition has been consummated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

Section 10.12. Severability. Every provision of the Loan Documents is intended to be severable, and if any term or provision thereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof shall not be affected or impaired thereby, and any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.13. Integration. All exhibits to the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a part thereof. Each Loan Document embodies the entire agreement and understanding between or among the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between or among the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof.
