W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, reference is hereby made
to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 9, 2021 (as heretofore amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as amended by this Amendment and as further amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among others, Holdings, the Borrower, Avis Budget
Group, Inc., the subsidiary borrowers from time to time parties thereto, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”)
and the Administrative Agent;
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested
that the Revolving Commitments outstanding under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Existing Revolving Commitments”)
and the Revolving Loans outstanding under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Existing Revolving Loans”)
be refinanced with a new revolving facility (the “New Revolving Facility”) constituting a Refinancing Revolving Facility
by obtaining New Revolving Commitments (as defined in Section 2(b) of this Amendment) and having the Existing Revolving Commitments be
replaced with the New Revolving Commitments under the New Revolving Facility as provided herein;
WHEREAS, each financial institution
set forth under the heading “Lender” in Exhibit B hereto (each such financial institution, a “New Revolving
Lender” and, collectively, the “New Revolving Lenders”) agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein
and in the Credit Agreement, to provide New Revolving Commitments to the Borrower on the Seventh Amendment Effective Date;
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the New Revolving Lenders party hereto have agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to give effect
to the New Revolving Facility and consent to amend the Existing Credit Agreement as set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 10.1
of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Borrower has requested to amend certain other provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement, and the
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders have agreed, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to amend those
certain provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement as set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1.
Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms are used herein as defined in the Credit Agreement as
amended hereby.
SECTION 2.
New Revolving Facility.
(a)
Each New Revolving Lender, by its execution of a signature page to this Amendment, agrees to provide a New Revolving Commitment
to the Borrower in an amount equal to the amount set forth under the heading “Total Revolving Commitment” opposite such New
Revolving Lender’s name in Exhibit B hereto (such commitment, its “New Revolving Commitment”).
(b)
From and after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date, each party hereto agrees that, for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, (i) each New Revolving Lender shall be a Revolving Lender and a Lender under the Credit Agreement, and each
New Revolving Lender shall be a party to the Credit Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Credit Agreement,
(ii) each New Revolving Commitment shall be a Revolving Commitment and a Commitment for all purposes under the Credit Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and (iii) each reference in the Credit Agreement to “Revolving Commitments” and “Revolving Lenders”
shall be deemed a reference to the New Revolving Commitments and the New Revolving Lenders, respectively, contemplated hereby, except
as the context may otherwise require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to indemnification,
reimbursement of costs and expenses, increased costs and break funding payments shall continue in full force and effect with respect to,
and for the benefit of, each Revolving Lender (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) in respect of such Revolving Lender’s
Existing Revolving Commitments and Existing Revolving Loans to the same extent expressly set forth therein.
(c)
For the avoidance of doubt, the New Revolving Commitments shall be incurred as a Refinancing Revolving Facility in respect of the
Existing Revolving Commitments.
SECTION 3.
Amendments of the Existing Credit Agreement.
(a)
The Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended in accordance with Exhibit A hereto: (i) by deleting each term thereof which
is lined out and (ii) by inserting each term thereof which is double underlined, in each case in the place where such term appears therein.

each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4 of the Credit Agreement are, after giving effect to this Amendment,
true and correct in all material respects except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to a specific
earlier date, and except for any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse

be true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality)
on and as of the Seventh Amendment Effective Date as if made on such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties
expressly relate solely to a specific earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material
respects as of such earlier date and in all respects if any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality).
(j)

SECTION 6.
Continuing Effect; No Other Amendments or Consents.
(a) Except
as expressly provided herein, all of the terms and provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement are and shall remain in full force and
effect. The amendments provided for herein are limited to the specific subsections of the Existing Credit Agreement specified herein and
shall not constitute a consent, waiver or amendment of, or an indication of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ willingness
to consent to any action requiring consent under any other provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement or the same subsection for any
other date or time period. Upon the effectiveness of the amendments set forth herein, on and after the Seventh Amendment Effective Date,

or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “Credit Agreement,”

to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
(b) This
Amendment shall not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document
or discharge or release the Lien or priority of any Security Document or any other security therefor. Nothing herein contained shall be
construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement, the Security Documents or the other
Loan Documents or a novation of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. The obligations outstanding under or of the Credit Agreement
and instruments securing the same shall remain in full force and effect, except to any extent expressly modified hereby. Nothing implied
in this Amendment or in any other document contemplated hereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any of the Loan Parties
under any Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities as a borrower, guarantor, grantor or pledgor under any of the Loan
Documents.
(c) The
Borrower and the other parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document.

expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and delivery of this Amendment, and any other documents prepared in connection herewith
and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel
to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms in the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 8.
Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts by the parties hereto (including by facsimile
and electronic (e.g. “.pdf”, or “.tif”) transmission), each of which counterparts when so executed shall be an
original, but all the counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Amendment or any document to be signed
in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries
or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually
executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and
as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State
Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that
nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures in any form or format without its prior written
consent. As used herein, “Electronic Signature” means an electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to, or associated
with, a contract or other record and adopted by a Person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record.
SECTION 9.
GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 10.
POST-CLOSING. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the Seventh Amendment Effective Date (or such later date as may
be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), the Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable Loan Party to,
deliver the following with respect to each Mortgaged Property:
(a)
Written or e-mail confirmation from local counsel in the jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located substantially
to the effect that: (i) the recording of the existing Mortgage (and any related fixture filing) is the only filing or recording necessary
to give constructive notice to third parties of the lien created by such Mortgage as security for the Obligations, including the obligations
evidenced by this Amendment, and (ii) no other documents, instruments, filings, recordings, re-recordings, re-filings or other actions,
including, without limitation, the payment of any mortgage recording taxes or similar taxes are necessary or appropriate under applicable
law in order to maintain the continued enforceability, validity or priority of the lien created by such Mortgage as security for the Obligations,
including the obligations evidenced by this Amendment, unless any such mortgage recording taxes are payable in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Amendment; or
(b)
(i)

duly executed and acknowledged by the
applicable Loan Party, and in form for
recording in the applicable recording office in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
(ii)
executed legal opinions from counsel to the Borrower as to the enforceability of each Mortgage Amendment, and otherwise in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
(iii)
with respect to each amended Mortgage a date-down endorsement to each existing title insurance policy insuring the Lien of each
Mortgage (each a “Title Endorsement,” collectively, the “Title Endorsements”) (x) insuring that such Mortgage,
as amended by such Mortgage Amendment, is a valid and enforceable lien on such Mortgaged Property in favor of the Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Par-ties free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens and (y) otherwise in form and sub-stance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
(iv)
evidence reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent of payment by Borrower of all premiums, search and examination charges,
escrow charges and related charges, mortgage recording taxes, fees, charges, costs and expenses required for the recording of the Mortgage
Amendments and issuance of the Title Endorsements; and
(v)
such affidavits, certificates, information (including financial data) and instruments of indemnification (including a so-called
“gap” indemnification) as shall be required to induce the title insurer to issue the Title Endorsements.

indefinitely; provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide

materially different from those applicable to the Term Loans to the extent such differences are reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent (it being understood that (x) terms applicable only after the Final Term Loan Maturity Date are acceptable in

standards or terms (collectively, the “Accounting Changes”) in this Agreement, the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent agree to enter into good faith negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement (including the
levels applicable herein to any computation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated First Lien Leverage Ratio or the
Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio) so as to reflect equitably the Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for
evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be substantially the same after such change as if such change had not been
made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Required Lenders, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed in
accordance with GAAP (as determined in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower) (it being agreed that the reconciliation
between GAAP and IFRS used in such determination shall be made available to Lenders) as if such change had not occurred.
(c) As used herein and in the other Loan Documents,
and any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, (i) the words “include”, “includes”
and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”, (ii) the word “incur”
shall be construed to mean incur, create, issue, assume, become liable in respect of or suffer to exist (and the words “incurred”
and “incurrence” shall have correlative meanings), (iii) the words “asset” and “property” shall be
construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash,
Capital Stock, securities, revenues, accounts, leasehold interests and contract rights, and (iv) references to agreements or other Contractual
Obligations shall, unless otherwise specified, be deemed to refer to such agreements or Contractual Obligations as amended, supplemented,
restated or otherwise modified from time to time.
(d) The words “hereof”, “herein”
and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not
to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Section, Schedule and Exhibit references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.
(e) The meanings given to terms defined herein
shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.
1.3 Interest
Rates; Benchmark Notification. The interest rate on a Loan denominated in dollars or an Optional Currency may be derived from an
interest rate benchmark that may be discontinued or is, or may in the future become, the subject of regulatory reform. Upon the
occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or a Term CORRA Reelection Event, Section 2.142.16(b)
provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any
responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other
matter related to any interest rate used in this Agreement, or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or
replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative,
successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the existing
interest rate being replaced or have the same volume or liquidity as did any existing interest rate prior to its discontinuance or
unavailability. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates and/or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the
calculation of any interest rate used in this Agreement or any alternative, successor or alternative rate (including any Benchmark
Replacement) and/or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent
may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any interest rate used in this Agreement, any
component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall
have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect,
special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and
whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information
source or service.
1.4
Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed
to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter
of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Application related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated
amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving
effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such times.
1.5
Limited Condition Acquisitions. In connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness or Liens or the making of any Investments,
Restricted Payments, restricted prepayments of Indebtedness, Dispositions or fundamental changes, in each case, in connection with a Limited
Condition Acquisition (any of the foregoing, an “LCA Action” and collectively, the “LCA Actions”),
for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement (other than Section 5.2(b)) which requires that no Default
or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such LCA Action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the
option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an
“LCA Election”), be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists on the date the definitive agreements
for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower
has exercised the LCA Election, and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the LCA Test Date and prior to the consummation of
such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes
of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder.
(a) In connection with the incurrence of any LCA
Action, for purposes of:
(i) determining compliance with any provision
of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated
First Lien Leverage Ratio or the Consolidated Coverage Ratio; or
(ii) testing availability under baskets
set forth in this Agreement (including any baskets based on a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA);
in each case, upon the LCA Election, the date of determination
of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be the LCA Test Date, and if, after giving effect to the Limited Condition
Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the
use of proceeds thereof) on a pro forma basis as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent four consecutive fiscal
quarter period being used to calculate such financial ratio or basket ending prior to the LCA Test Date for which consolidated
financial statements of the Borrower are available, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in
compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt,
if the Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the
LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated
EBITDA of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant
transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the
Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any
ratio or basket availability with respect to the incurrence of any Indebtedness or Liens or the making of any Investments,
Restricted Payments, restricted prepayments of Indebtedness, Dispositions or fundamental changes, in each case, on or following the
relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the
definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition
Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other
transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been
consummated. Consolidated Net Income (and any other financial defined term derived therefrom) shall not include any Consolidated Net
Income of or attributable to the target Person or assets associated with any such Limited Condition Acquisition for usages other
than in connection with the applicable transaction pertaining to such Limited Condition Acquisition unless and until the closing of
such Limited Condition Acquisition shall have actually occurred.
1.6
Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any division or plan of division under Delaware
law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person
becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original
Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized
and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.
1.7
Exchange Rates; Currency Equivalents. (a) The Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, shall determine
the Dollar Equivalent amounts of Term Benchmark Borrowings or Letter of Credit extensions denominated in Optional Currencies. Such Dollar
Equivalent shall become effective as of such Revaluation Date and shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amounts until the next Revaluation
Date to occur. Except for purposes of financial statements delivered by the Borrower hereunder or calculating financial covenants hereunder
or except as otherwise provided herein, the applicable amount of any Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) for purposes of the Loan Documents
shall be such Dollar Equivalent amount as so determined by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable.
(b) Wherever in this Agreement in connection with
a Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment of a Term Benchmark Loan or an RFR Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of
a Letter of Credit, an amount, such as a required minimum or multiple amount, is expressed in Dollars, but such Borrowing, Loan or Letter
of Credit is denominated in an Optional Currency, such amount shall be the Dollar Equivalent of such amount (rounded to the nearest unit
of such Optional Currency, with 0.5 of a unit being rounded upward), as determined by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender,
as the case may be.

revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) in Dollars and in any Optional Currency to the Borrower or any Subsidiary
Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which will
not result (after giving effect to any application of proceeds of such Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.6(b)) in (i) the outstanding principal
amount of such Lender’s Revolving Extensions of Credit exceeding the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (ii)
the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments. During the Revolving Commitment Period the Borrower
and any Subsidiary Borrower may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing,
all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Loans may from time to time be Term Benchmark Loans (it being understood
that Term Benchmark Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars shall be Adjusted Term SOFR Loans), RFR Loans (for Revolving Loans denominated
in Pounds Sterling) or ABR Loans, as determined by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in

Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling be Eurocurrency Loans.
(b) The Borrower and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower
shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Revolving Termination Date.
2.5 Procedure
for Revolving Loan Borrowing. The Borrower and any Subsidiary Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the
Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day, provided that the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall give
the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (a) 12:00 Noon, New
York City time, three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, (b) 11:00 a.m., New
York City time, five Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of RFR Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling or
(c) 12:00 Noon, New York City Time, on the date of the proposed borrowing, in the case of ABR Loans) (provided that any such
notice of a borrowing of ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility to finance payments required by Section 3.5 may be given not
later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed borrowing), specifying (i) the amount and Type of Revolving
Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, the respective amounts of
each such Type of Loan, the Agreed Currency with respect thereto and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Period therefor.
If no election as to the Type of a Revolving Loan is specified in any such notice, then the requested borrowing shall be an ABR
Loan. If no Agreed Currency with respect to any Term Benchmark Loans is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower or the
relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing in Dollars. If no Interest Period with respect to any
Term Benchmark Loan is specified in any such notice, then the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Each borrowing under the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount
equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof (or, if the then aggregate Available Revolving
Commitments are less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount), (y) in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (z) in the case of RFR Loans, $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided,
that a Swingline Lender may request, on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower, borrowings under the Revolving
Commitments that are ABR Loans in other amounts pursuant to Section 2.7. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower or any
Subsidiary Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender will make
the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower or
the relevant Subsidiary Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by
the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower
or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary
Borrower on the books of such office or such other account as the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower may specify to the
Administrative Agent in writing with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Revolving
Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Lender at its option may make any Revolving Loan
by causing any domestic or foreign branch of such Revolving Lender or Affiliate of such Revolving Lender to make such Revolving
Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower or Subsidiary Borrower to
repay such Revolving Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
2.6
Swingline Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Swingline Lender severally agrees to make
a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower and any Subsidiary Borrower under the Revolving Commitments from time to time
during the Revolving Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“Swingline Loans”) in Dollars to the Borrower and
any Subsidiary Borrower; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender outstanding
at any time shall not exceed such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment then in effect, (ii) the outstanding principal amount
of such Swingline Lender’s Revolving Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the amount of such Swingline Lender’s Revolving
Commitment and (iii) the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall not request, and a Swingline Lender shall not make, any Swingline
Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the
aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be
less than zero. During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Borrower and any Subsidiary Borrower may use the Swingline Commitment by borrowing,
repaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans only.
(b) The Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower
shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lenders the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan
on the earlier of the Revolving Termination Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of
a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving
Loan is borrowed, the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any
such borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding.
2.7 Procedure
for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans. (a) Whenever the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower desires that a
Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in
writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the
proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business
Day during the Revolving Commitment Period). The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lenders of any such notice
received from the Borrower. Each borrowing under the Swingline Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a whole
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in
respect of Swingline Loans, each Swingline Lender shall make its ratable portion of the requested Swingline Loan (such ratable
portion to be calculated based upon such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment to the total Swingline Commitments of all of
the Swingline Lenders) available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds. The
Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower on
such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower with the
Administrative Agent or such other account as the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower may specify to the Administrative Agent
in writing on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.
(b) Any Swingline Lender, at any time and from
time to time in its sole and absolute discretion may, on behalf of the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower (each of which hereby
irrevocably directs each Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), by written notice given to the Administrative Agent require each Revolving
Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on
the date of such notice, to repay the Swingline Lenders. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice
thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loans.
Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, promptly upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent (and in any
event, if such notice is received by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day, no later than 5:00 p.m. New York City time on
such Business Day and if received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on a Business Day, no later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time
on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to pay to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds,
for the account of such Swingline Lenders, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of such Swingline Loans. The proceeds of
such Revolving Loans shall be promptly made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lenders for application by the Swingline
Lenders to the repayment of the Refunded Swingline Loans. The Borrower and relevant Subsidiary Borrower
irrevocably authorize each Swingline
Lender to charge the Borrower’s and relevant Subsidiary Borrower’s accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount
available in each such account) in order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received
from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swingline Loans.
(c) If prior to the time a Revolving Loan would
have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.7(b), one of the events described in Section 8(f) shall have occurred and be continuing
with respect to the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower or if for any other reason, as determined by any Swingline Lender in its
sole discretion, Revolving Loans may not be made as contemplated by Section 2.7(b), each Revolving Lender shall, on the date such Revolving
Loan was to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section 2.7(b), purchase for cash an undivided participating interest
in the then outstanding Swingline Loans by paying to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office in immediately available funds for
the account of the Swingline Lenders an amount (the “Swingline Participation Amount”) equal to (i) such Revolving Lender’s
Revolving Percentage times (ii) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding that were to have
been repaid with such Revolving Loans.
(d) Whenever, at any time after any Swingline
Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, such Swingline Lender receives any payment
on account of the Swingline Loans, such Swingline Lender will distribute such amount to the Administrative Agent and any such amounts
received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made
their payments pursuant to paragraph (c) above and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear (appropriately adjusted, in
the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and
funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if
such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, however,
that in the event that such payment received by such Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to
such Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Administrative Agent.
(e) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to
make the Loans referred to in Section 2.7(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.7(c) shall be absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right
that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower may have against any Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any Subsidiary
Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the
failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise)
of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any Subsidiary
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing.
(f) The failure of any Swingline Lender to make
its ratable portion of a Swingline Loan shall not relieve any other Swingline Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its ratable portion
of such Swingline Loan on the date of such Swingline Loan, but no Swingline Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Swingline
Lender to make the ratable portion of a Swingline Loan to be made by such other Swingline Lender on the date of any Swingline Loan.
2.8
Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender
a commitment fee for the period from and including the date hereof to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the
Commitment Fee Rate
on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment
is made, payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.
(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Administrative Agent and to perform any other
obligations contained therein.
2.9 Termination
or Reduction of Revolving Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice
to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving
Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving
effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total
Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to
$1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. Each notice
delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be irrevocable; provided, that a notice to terminate the
Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit
facilities or a Change in Control, in either case, which such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative
Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the revocation
of a termination notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligation to indemnify any Lender in accordance with Section 2.20 for
any loss or expense sustained or incurred as a consequence thereof.
2.10
Optional Prepayments. (a) The Borrower and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay
the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except in the case of Tranche C Term Loans as otherwise provided in paragraph
(b) below) upon irrevocable notice (except as otherwise provided below) delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than (i) 12:00
Noon, New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto, in the case of Term Benchmark Loans, (ii) 11:00 a.m., New York City
time, five Business Days before the date of prepayment in the case of prepayment of an RFR Revolving Borrowing denominated in Sterling
and (iii) 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the day of such prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans, which notice shall specify the date
and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Term Benchmark Loans or ABR Loans; provided, that if a Term Benchmark
Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower
shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.20; provided, further, that such notice to prepay the Loans delivered
by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or a Change in Control, in
either case, which such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by further notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified
effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the revocation of a termination notice shall not affect
the Borrower’s obligation to indemnify any Lender in accordance with Section 2.20 for any loss or expense sustained or incurred
as a consequence thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with
(except in the case of Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial
prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial
prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.
(b) Any (i) optional prepayment of the Tranche
C Term Loans using proceeds of any credit facility term loans incurred by the Borrower for which, the interest rate payable thereon on
the date
of such prepayment is lower than the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate on the date of such prepayment plus the Applicable Margin with respect
to the Tranche C Term Loans on the date of such prepayment with the primary purpose of refinancing Tranche C Term Loans at a lower interest
rate or (ii) repricing of the Tranche C Term Loans pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement resulting in the interest rate payable thereon
on the date of such amendment being lower than the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate on the date immediately prior to such amendment plus the Applicable
Margin with respect to the Tranche C Term Loans on the date immediately prior to such amendment, shall be accompanied by a prepayment
fee equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of such prepayment (or, in the case of clause (ii) above, of the aggregate amount
of Tranche C Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment) if made on or prior to the date that is six months after the
Sixth Amendment Effective Date. Such fee shall be paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Tranche C Term
Lenders on the date of such prepayment or amendment (as the case may be).
2.11 Mandatory
Prepayments. (a) If any Indebtedness shall be issued or incurred by any Group Member (other than ABG) (excluding any
Indebtedness incurred in accordance with Section 7.2), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied on
the date of such issuance or incurrence, or in the event such Net Cash Proceeds are received after 12:00 Noon, New York City time,
on the next Business Day, toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(c).
(b) If on any date any Loan Party (other than
ABG) shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect
thereof, 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds or, in the case of any Disposition permitted by Section 7.5(f), 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds,
shall be applied within three Business Days toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(c); provided that
on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment
Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.11(c).
(c) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments
of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be applied, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Term Benchmark
Loans and, in each case, in accordance with Section 2.17(b). Each prepayment of the Term Loans under this Section 2.11 shall be accompanied
by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. If no Term Loans are outstanding, such remaining amounts shall
be retained by the relevant Group Member.
(d) With respect to any prepayment of Term Loans
pursuant to Section 2.11(b), any Term Lender, at its option (but solely to the extent the Borrower elects for this clause (d) to be applicable
to a given prepayment), may elect not to accept such prepayment as provided below. The Borrower may notify the Administrative Agent of
any event giving rise to a prepayment under Section 2.11(b) at least five Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such
notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment that is
required to be made under Section 2.11(b) (the “Prepayment Amount”). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify
each Term Lender of the contents of any such prepayment notice so received from the Borrower, including the date on which such prepayment
is to be made (the “Prepayment Date”). Any Term Lender may (but solely to the extent the Borrower elects for this clause
(d) to be applicable to a given prepayment) decline to accept all (but not less than all) of its share of any such prepayment (any such
Lender, a “Declining Lender”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. (New
York City time) one Business Day after the date of such Term Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding
such prepayment. If any Term Lender does not give a notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above informing
the Administrative Agent that it declines to accept the applicable prepayment, then such Lender will be deemed to have accepted such
prepayment.
On any Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Prepayment Amount minus the portion of thereof allocable to Declining Lenders, in each
case for such Prepayment Date, shall be paid to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and applied by the Administrative Agent ratably
to prepay Term Loans owing to Term Lenders (other than Declining Lenders) in the manner described in this Section 2.11 for such prepayment.
Any amounts that would otherwise have been applied to prepay Term Loans owing to Declining Lenders shall be retained by the Borrower (such
amounts, “Declined Amounts”).
2.12 Conversion
and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Term Benchmark
Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., New York
City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided that any such conversion of Term Benchmark
Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower may elect
from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Term Benchmark Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such
election no later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which
notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan under a particular
Facility may be converted into a Term Benchmark Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative
Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit
such conversions. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
(b) Any Term Benchmark Loan may be continued as
such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower giving
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period”
set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Term Benchmark
Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative
Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such
continuations (and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower within a reasonable amount of time of any such determination), and
provided, further, that if the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described
above in this paragraph such Loans shall be automatically continued as Term Benchmark Loans having an Interest Period of one month in
duration or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR
Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each relevant Lender thereof.
2.13
Limitations on Term Benchmark Borrowings and RFR Borrowings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Term Benchmark Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts
and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Benchmark
Loans comprising each Borrowing shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than
ten Term Benchmark Borrowings shall be outstanding at any one time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings,
conversions and continuations of RFR Loans shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect
thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the RFR Loans comprising each RFR Borrowing shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten RFR Borrowings shall be outstanding at any one time.
2.14
Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Term Benchmark Loan shall bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate, the Adjusted
Term SOFR Rate or, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate
or the
Adjusted Term CORRA Rate, as applicable, for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing
plus the Applicable Margin.
(b) Each RFR Loan shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to (i) with respect to RFR Loans denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, the applicable
Adjusted Daily Simple RFR plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) with respect to RFR Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling, the
applicable Daily Simple RFR plus the Applicable Margin.
(c) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.
(d) (i) If all or a portion of the principal
amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would
otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% or (y) in the case of
Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2%, and (ii) if all or a
portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder
shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% (or, in the case of
any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving
Facility plus 2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such
amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).
(e) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each
Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to
time on demand.
2.15
Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest computed by reference to the Term SOFR Rate, the EURIBOR Rate or Daily
Simple RFR with respect to Dollars hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days. Interest computed by reference to the
Eurocurrency Base Rate with respect to Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars and New
Zealand Dollars, the Daily Simple RFR with respect to Pounds Sterling or,
the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate, Term CORRA or the
Canadian Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). In each case interest
shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All interest hereunder on
any Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Loan as of the applicable date of determination.
The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Eurocurrency Rate, Eurocurrency Base Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, Term SOFR Rate, Adjusted EURIBOR
Rate, EURIBOR Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR orRFR,
Daily Simple RFR, Adjusted Term CORRA Rate or the Term CORRA shall be determined by the Administrative
Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by
the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, any Subsidiary Borrower
and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower,
deliver to the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining
any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.14(a).
2.16
Alternate Rate of Interest.
(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e),
(f) and (g) of this Section 2.16 if:
(i) the Administrative Agent determines
(which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark
Loan, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate, the Eurocurrency Base Rate, the Adjusted
Term SOFR Rate, the Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or,
the EURIBOR Rate, the Adjusted Term CORRA Rate or Term CORRA (including because the Relevant Screen
Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time,
that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable Daily Simple RFR, RFR or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFRRFR
for the applicable Agreed Currency; or
(ii) the Administrative Agent is
advised by the Required Lenders that (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the
Eurocurrency Rate, the Eurocurrency Base Rate, the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate, the Term SOFR Rate, the Adjusted EURIBOR Rate or, the
EURIBOR Rate, the Adjusted Term CORRA Rate or Term CORRA for the applicable Agreed Currency
and such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their
Loans (or its Loan) included in such Loan for the applicable Agreed Currency and such Interest Period or (B) at any time, the
applicable Daily Simple RFR, RFR or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFRRFR for
the applicable Agreed Currency will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining
their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for the applicable Agreed Currency;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower
and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies
the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request
that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing or any Borrowing Request
that requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall instead be deemed to be an Interest Election Request or a Borrowing Request, as applicable,
for (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFRRFR
is not also the subject of Section 2.16(a)(i) or (ii) above or (y) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFRRFR
also is the subject of Section 2.16(a)(i) or (ii) above and (C) if any Borrowing Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing or an RFR
Borrowing for the relevant rate above in an Optional Currency, then such request shall be ineffective; provided that if the circumstances
giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then all other Types of Borrowings shall be permitted. Furthermore, if
any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the date of the Borrower’s receipt of the notice from
the Administrative Agent referred to in this Section 2.16(a) with respect to a Relevant Rate applicable to such Term Benchmark
Loan or RFR Loan, then until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such
notice no longer exist, (i) if such Term Benchmark Loan is denominated in Dollars, then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative
Agent to, and shall constitute, an ABR Loan denominated in Dollars on such day, (ii) if such Term Benchmark Loan is denominated in any
Agreed Currency other than Dollars, then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next
succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) bear interest at the Central Bank Rate (or in
the case of Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate) for the applicable Agreed Currency plus the Applicable Margin; provided
that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error) that the Central
Bank Rate (or in the case of Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate) for the applicable Agreed
Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall,
at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (A) be prepaid by the Borrower on such day or (B) solely for the purpose of calculating
the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars
shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term
Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars at such time or (iii) if such RFR Loan is denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars,
then such Loan shall bear interest at the Central Bank Rate (or in the case of Canadian Dollars, the Canadian
Prime Rate) for the applicable Agreed Currency plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate (or
in the case of Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate) for the applicable Agreed Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding
affected RFR Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (A) be converted
into ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Optional Currency) immediately or (B) be prepaid
in full immediately.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Swap Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for
purposes of this Section 2.16), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related
Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then
(x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”
with respect to Dollars and/or Canadian Dollars for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such
Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such
Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (2) of the
definition of “Benchmark Replacement” with respect to any Agreed Currency for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such
Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark
setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark
Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement
or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such
Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(c) [Reserved].
(d) In connection with the implementation of
a Benchmark, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming
Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing
such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document
and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, with respect to a Loan denominated in Canadian
Dollars, if a Term CORRA Reelection Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior
to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace
the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark
settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided
that, this clause (d) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term CORRA
Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term CORRA Notice after the occurrence
of a Term CORRA Reelection Event and may do so in its sole discretion.
(e) The Administrative Agent will promptly
notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark
Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (1) the removal or reinstatement of
any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (f) below and (2) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.
Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Borrower or any Lender (or
group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.16, including any determination with respect
to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain
from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion
and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant
to this Section 2.16.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark
Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR, the Term SOFR Rate, Eurocurrency Base Rate or, EURIBOR
Rate or Term CORRA) and either (a) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a
screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its
reasonable discretion or (b) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or
publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the
Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to
remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either
(a) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (b) is
not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a
Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark
settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(g) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice
of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing
of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period
and, failing that, either (x) the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing denominated in
Dollars into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to (A) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so long as the Adjusted Daily Simple
SOFRRFR is not the subject of a Benchmark Transition
Event or (B) an ABR Borrowing if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFRRFR
is the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) any Term Benchmark Borrowing or RFR Borrowing denominated in an Optional Currency
shall be ineffective. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an
Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not
be used in any determination of ABR. Furthermore, if any Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan in any Agreed Currency is outstanding on the
date of the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period with respect to a Relevant Rate
applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan or RFR Loan, then until such time as a Benchmark Replacement for such Agreed Currency is implemented
pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) if such Term Benchmark Loan is denominated in Dollars,
then on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business
Day), such Loan shall be converted by the Administrative Agent to, and shall constitute (x) an RFR Borrowing denominated in Dollars so
long as the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFRRFR is
not the subject of a Benchmark Transition Event or (y) an ABR Loan if the Adjusted Daily Simple SOFRRFR
is the subject of a Benchmark
Transition Event, on such day, (ii) if such Term Benchmark
Loan is denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, then such Loan shall, on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable to such Loan (or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day) bear interest at the Central Bank
Rate (or in the case of Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate) for the applicable Agreed
Currency plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive
and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate (or in the case of Canadian Dollars, the
Canadian Prime Rate) for the applicable Agreed Currency cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Term Benchmark
Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall, at the Borrower’s election prior to such day: (a) be
prepaid by the Borrower on such day or (b) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Term Benchmark
Loan, such Term Benchmark Loan denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars shall be deemed to be a Term Benchmark Loan
denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Term Benchmark Loans denominated in Dollars
at such time or (iii) if such RFR Loan is denominated in any Agreed Currency other than Dollars, then such Loan shall bear interest
at the Central Bank Rate (or in the case of Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate) for
the applicable Agreed Currency plus the Applicable Margin; provided that, if the Administrative Agent determines (which
determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Central Bank Rate (or in
the case of Canadian Dollars, the Canadian Prime Rate) for the applicable Agreed Currency cannot be determined, any
outstanding affected RFR Loans denominated in any Agreed Currency, at the Borrower’s election, shall either (a) be
converted into ABR Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such Optional Currency) immediately
or (b) be prepaid in full immediately.
2.17
Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing of Revolving Loans by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower from
the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders
shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Percentages of the relevant Lenders.
(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by
the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding
principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders; provided that at the option of the Borrower, all or a portion
of any optional prepayments of the Term Loans made in accordance with Section 2.10 may be applied to repay the Term Loans as directed
by the Borrower. The amount of each such optional principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining
installments of the Tranche B Term Loans and/or Tranche C Term Loans, as applicable, as directed by the Borrower. Amounts prepaid on account
of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by
the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according
to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.
(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be
made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made
without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars or in any other applicable currency and in immediately available
funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any
payment hereunder (other than payments on the Term Benchmark Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a
Term Benchmark Loan becomes due and payable on a day other
than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would
be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business
Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable
at the then applicable rate during such extension. Any obligation under this Agreement denominated in currency other than Dollars should
be payable in such currency unless the obligor, the obligee and the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall
have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its
share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such
amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by
the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with
interest thereon, at a rate up to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes
such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender
with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s
share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such
Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum
applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower.
(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have
been notified in writing by the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower
or such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder that the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent
may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares
of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower within
three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any
amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the
daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
against the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower.
2.18
Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application
thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:
(i) shall subject any Lender to any additional
tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Term Benchmark Loan made by it
(except for taxes addressed by Section 2.19 (including any Excluded Taxes) and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net or gross
income of such Lender);
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable
any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the
account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is
not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate or,
Adjusted Term SOFR Rate or Adjusted Term CORRA Rate, as applicable; or
(iii) shall impose on such Lender any
other condition not described in (or excepted from) the foregoing (i) and (ii);
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to
such Lender by an amount that such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Term Benchmark Loans
or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case,
the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant
to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of
the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that
the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or
directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental
Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such
corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level
below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount
deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.
(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts
payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower or
relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than
six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month
period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower
pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
(i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives thereunder
or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives
promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority)
or the United States or foreign
regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change
in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.
2.19 Taxes.
(a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or
other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (a) net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net
income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein) under the laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender is organized or incorporated or in
which its principal office is located or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is located, and any
taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative
Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having
executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan
Document) and (b) any branch profit taxes imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other Governmental
Authority; provided that, if any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings
(“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender hereunder, as determined in good faith by the applicable Withholding Agent, (x) such amounts shall be paid to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (y) the amounts so payable by the Borrower or applicable
Subsidiary Borrower to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts
payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement as if such withholding or deduction had not been made,
provided further, however, that neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Borrower shall be required to increase any such amounts
payable to any Lender with respect to any Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the
requirements of paragraph (e) or (f) of this Section, (ii) that are United States withholding taxes resulting from any Requirement
of Law (including FATCA) in effect on (and, in the case of FATCA, including any regulations or official interpretations thereof
issued after) the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office or offices) except, in the
case of an assignment or designation of a new lending office, to the extent that the Lender making such assignment or designation
was entitled, at the time of such assignment or designation, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower or the relevant
Subsidiary Borrower with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this section or (iii) that are imposed as a result of a
Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (amounts described in the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (i), (ii) and (iii),
“Excluded Taxes”).
(b) In addition, the Borrower or any relevant
Subsidiary Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes
are payable by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower shall
send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of
an original official receipt received by the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower showing payment thereof. If (i) the Borrower or any
Subsidiary Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, (ii) the Borrower
or any Subsidiary Borrower fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence or
(iii) any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed
directly upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower and each Subsidiary
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for such amounts and any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that
may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure, in the case of (i) and (ii), or any such
direct imposition, in the case of (iii).
(d) Each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent for the full amount of any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings or similar charges imposed by
any Governmental Authority that are attributable to such Lender and that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent, together with
all interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, as determined by the Administrative
Agent in good faith. 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.
(e) Each Lender (or Transferee) (i) that is
not a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”)
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related
participation shall have been purchased) (x) two copies of either U.S. IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY
(together with any applicable underlying IRS forms) (y) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal
withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement
substantially in the form of Exhibit F and the applicable Form W-8, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto,
properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal
withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or (z) any other form prescribed by applicable
requirements of U.S. federal income tax law (including FATCA) 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 requirements of law
to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made and (ii) that is a
“United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent (or in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased)
two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal
withholding tax. Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the
case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such forms promptly
upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender at any other time prescribed by applicable law
or as reasonably requested by the Borrower. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at
any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (and any
other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section, a Non -U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section that such Non -U.S. Lender is not
legally able to deliver.
(f) A Lender or Transferee that is entitled to
an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower
is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement 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; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such
documentation.
(g) If the Administrative Agent, any Transferee
or any Lender determines, in its sole good faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it
has been indemnified by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.18 or this Section 2.19, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower
(but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower under Section
2.18 or this Section 2.19 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the
Administrative Agent, such Transferee or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent
, such Transferee or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower (plus any penalties,
interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Transferee or such Lender
in the event the Administrative Agent, such Transferee or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Transferee or any Lender to make available its tax returns
(or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower, any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to
an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been
deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been
paid.
(h) Each Assignee shall be bound by this Section
2.19.
(i) The agreements in this Section shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(j) For purposes of determining withholding Taxes
imposed under FATCA, from and after the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower, each Subsidiary Borrower and the Administrative Agent
shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as a “grandfathered
obligation” within the meaning of Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, and hold it harmless from, any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements
of any counsel for any of the foregoing, incurred by or asserted against it arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this
treatment; provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent to the extent such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction
to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent; provided further, that that the Borrower
shall not be liable for the fees and disbursements of more than one separate firm for the Administrative Agent in connection with any
one action or any separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction, nor shall the Borrower be liable for
any settlement or extra-judicial resolution of the Administrative Agent’s claims without the Borrower’s written consent.
(k) For purposes of this Section 2.19, the term
“Lender” includes the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
2.20
Indemnity.
(a) With respect to Loans that are not RFR Loans,
the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any actual loss
or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower
in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans after the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower has given
a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower
in making any prepayment of or conversion from Term Benchmark Loans after the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower has given a notice
thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Term Benchmark Loans on a day that is
not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted
to the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.21
Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section
2.18 or 2.19(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy
considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the
consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such
Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing
in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower or the rights of any Lender
pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a).
2.22
Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts
owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), (b) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (c) fails to give its consent for any issue requiring the
consent of 100% of the Lenders or all affected Lenders (and such Lender is an affected Lender) and for which Lenders holding 51% of the
Loans and/or Commitments required for such vote have consented, with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such
replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time
of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.21 so as to eliminate
the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall
purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall
be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.20 if any Term Benchmark Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other
than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii)
until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to
Section 2.18 or 2.19(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.
2.23
Incremental Facilities.
(a) (i) After the Restatement Effective Date
and before the Final Term Loan Maturity Date (with respect to Term Loans), the Revolving Termination Date (with respect to Revolving
Loans), as applicable, the Borrower, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, may request the establishment of (x) one or more
(A) additional tranches of term loans or (B) increases (an “Incremental Term Loan Increase”) to an existing
tranche of term loans (the commitments thereto, the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments”) and/or (y) one or more
increases in the Revolving Commitments (the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”; together with the Incremental
Term Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Loan Commitments”); provided that (x) each such request shall be
for not less than $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount up to the Maximum Facilities Amount) and (y) after giving effect to each such
request and the proposed use of proceeds thereof, the aggregate amount (the “Maximum Facilities Amount”) of the
Facilities (which term, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be amended pursuant to the Incremental Commitment Agreement to include any
additional tranches of term loans so requested, if applicable), together with any Incremental Equivalent Debt secured by the
Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Obligations, shall not exceed the greater of (A) $3,000,000,000 and (B) an amount
equal to 350% of Consolidated EBITDA determined to give pro forma effect to any related transactions consummated concurrently
therewith, for the most recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements have been delivered
pursuant to Section 6.1 and (ii) after the Restatement Effective Date and before the Final Term Loan Maturity Date, the Borrower, by
written notice to Administrative Agent, may also request the establishment of a synthetic letter of credit facility (the
“Incremental Synthetic L/C Facility”; the commitments thereto, the “Incremental Synthetic L/C
Commitments”; and, together with the Incremental Loan Commitments, the “Incremental Commitments”);
provided that (x) each such request shall be for not less than $25,000,000 (or such lesser amount up to the Maximum Incremental
Synthetic Facility Amount) and (y) after giving effect to each such request, the aggregate principal amount (the “Maximum
Incremental Synthetic Facility Amount”) of the Incremental Synthetic L/C Commitments shall not exceed $500,000,000. Each
such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the
Incremental Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice
is delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may approach any Lender or any Person to provide or arrange all or a portion
of the Incremental Commitments; provided that (i) no Lender will be required to provide such Incremental Commitment, (ii) any
entity providing all or a portion of the Incremental Commitments other than a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund,
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (with such acceptance by the Administrative Agent to not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) and (iii) any entity providing all or a portion of the Incremental Revolving Commitments other than a Lender,
an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, shall be reasonably acceptable to each Issuing Lender (with such acceptance by the
Issuing Lenders to not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(b) In each case, such Incremental Commitments
shall become effective as of the applicable Increased Amount Date, provided that
(i) no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments,
(ii) the Borrower shall be in compliance
with Section 7.1 as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.1
after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments and the use of proceeds thereof (provided, in the case of the Incremental Synthetic
Facility, not giving effect to any deemed usage thereof) and assuming any related Specified Transaction has occurred,
(iii) the weighted average life to maturity
of any Incremental Term Loan (other than any Incremental Tranche A Term Loan) shall be greater than or equal to the then-remaining weighted
average life to maturity of the Term Loans,
(iv) the maturity date of the Incremental
Synthetic L/C Facility shall be no earlier than the Final Term Loan Maturity Date,
(v) the interest rate margin in respect
of any Incremental Revolving Loans that is in effect on the Increased Amount Date (after giving effect to original issue discount (“OID”)
or upfront fees, (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID, with OID being equated to interest rates in a manner determined
by the Administrative Agent based on a four-year life to maturity) paid to all of the Incremental Revolving Lenders in connection therewith
but excluding any customary arrangement, commitment or other similar fees payable to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) in connection
therewith) shall not exceed the sum of (x) the Applicable Margin for the Revolving Loans made pursuant to the Revolving Commitments that
is in effect on the Increased Amount Date, and (y) the OID or the upfront fees paid to all of the Lenders in respect of such Revolving
Commitments, which shall be equated to interest rate based on a four-year life to maturity, or if it does so exceed the sum of such Applicable
Margin and such fees, such Applicable Margin for the Revolving Loans made pursuant to the Revolving Commitments, shall be increased so
that the interest rate margin in respect of such Incremental Revolving Loans that is in effect on the Increased Amount Date (giving effect
to any OID issued or such upfront fees paid to all of the Incremental Lenders in connection therewith as set forth above) is no greater
than the sum of (x) the Applicable Margin for the Revolving Loans made pursuant to the Revolving Commitments that is in effect on the
Increased Amount Date, and (y) the OID or the upfront fees paid to all of the Lenders in respect of such Revolving Commitments,
(vi) with respect to the Term Loans
(other than any Incremental Tranche A Term Loans), if the final maturity date of any Incremental Term Loans denominated in any
currency (except for any Incremental Tranche A Term Loans) is not at least one year later than the Final Term Loan Maturity Date of
any Term Loans denominated in such currency, the interest rate margin in respect of such Incremental Term Loans denominated in such
currency (after giving effect to OID or upfront fees paid to all of the Incremental Term Loan Lenders in connection therewith but
excluding any customary arrangement, commitment, underwriting, ticking or other similar fees payable to one or more arrangers (or
their affiliates) in connection therewith, any amendment or consent fees or any other fees not paid to all relevant Lenders
generally) (with fees and OID being equated to interest rate in the manner set forth above)) shall not exceed by more than 50 basis
points the sum of (1) the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans denominated in such currency that is in effect on the Increased
Amount Date (other than any Incremental Tranche A Term Loans), and (2) the upfront fees paid to all of the Lenders in respect of
such Term Loans denominated in such currency, which shall be equated to interest rate based on a four-year life to maturity, or if
it does so exceed by more than 50 basis points the sum of such Applicable Margin and such fees, the Applicable Margin for such Term
Loans denominated in such currency shall be increased so that the interest rate margin in respect of such Incremental Term Loans
denominated in such currency (after giving effect to any OID issued or such upfront fees paid to all of the Incremental Term Loan
Lenders in connection therewith as set forth above (but excluding any customary arrangement, commitment, underwriting, ticking or
other similar fees payable to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) in connection therewith, any amendment or consent fees or
any other fees not paid to all relevant Lenders generally)) is no greater than the sum of (1) the Applicable Margin for such Term
Loans denominated in such
currency that is in effect on the Increased Amount Date, (2) the OID or upfront fees paid to all of the
Lenders in respect of such Term Loans denominated in such currency and (3) 50 basis points,
(vii) if the final maturity date of any
Incremental Synthetic L/C Facility is not at least one year later than the Final Term Loan Maturity Date, the interest rate margin in
respect of such Incremental Synthetic L/C Facility (after giving effect to OID or upfront fees paid to all of the Lenders participating
in such Incremental Synthetic L/C Facility in connection therewith but excluding any customary arrangement, commitment, underwriting or
other similar fees payable to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) in connection therewith, any amendment or consent fees or any
other fees not paid to all relevant Lenders generally) (with fees and OID being equated to interest rate in the manner set forth above))
shall not exceed by more than 50 basis points the sum of (x) the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans, and (y) the upfront fees paid to
all of the Lenders in respect of their Term Loans, which shall be equated to interest rate based on a four-year life to maturity, or if
it does so exceed by more than 50 basis points the sum of such Applicable Margin and such fees, such Applicable Margin for the Term Loans
shall be increased so that the interest rate margin in respect of such Incremental Synthetic L/C Facility (giving effect to any OID issued
or such upfront fees paid to all of the Incremental Synthetic L/C Lenders in connection therewith as set forth above (but excluding any
customary arrangement, commitment, underwriting or other similar fees payable to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) in connection
therewith, any amendment or consent fees or any other fees not paid to all relevant Lenders generally)) is no greater than the sum of
(x) the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans that is in effect on the Increased Amount Date, (y) the upfront fees paid to all of the Lenders
in respect of their Term Loans and (z) 50 basis points; provided, further, that the interest margin in respect of such Incremental
Synthetic L/C Facility may be increased by an additional 200 basis points in the form of an additional OID or upfront fees if reasonably
necessary after increasing the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans as set forth in this clause (vii), and
(viii) the Incremental Revolving
Commitments, the Incremental Term Loan Commitments or the Incremental Synthetic L/C Commitments shall be effected, in each case,
pursuant to one or more incremental commitment agreements in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each, a
“Incremental Commitment Agreement”) executed and delivered by the Borrower, the applicable Incremental Revolving
Lender, the Incremental Term Loan Lender or the Incremental Synthetic L/C Lender and the Administrative Agent pursuant to which the
applicable Incremental Revolving Lender, Incremental Term Loan Lender or the Incremental Synthetic L/C Lender agrees to be bound to
the terms of this Agreement as a Lender. Except for Incremental Term Loans made in connection with an Incremental Term Loan
Increase, any Incremental Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate tranche of Incremental Term
Loans for all purposes of this Agreement, and the provisions of clauses (vi) and (vii) above shall be determined separately for each
tranche of Term Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any Incremental Loan
Commitments implemented to finance a Permitted Acquisition, satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) may, at the
option of the Borrower, be determined solely as of the date on which the definitive agreement governing such Permitted Acquisition is
executed, calculated to give pro forma effect to such acquisition as if it had occurred on such date of determination.
(c) On any Increased Amount Date on which Incremental
Revolving Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (x) each of the Lenders with Revolving
Commitments being increased shall assign to each Person with an Incremental Revolving Commitment (each, an “Incremental Revolving
Lender”) and each of the Incremental Revolving Lenders
shall purchase from each of the Lenders with Revolving Commitments, at
the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in
order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, the Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Lenders
and Incremental Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Incremental
Revolving Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (y) each Incremental Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving
Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (an “Incremental Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving
Loan and (z) each Incremental Revolving Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the Incremental Revolving Commitment and all matters
relating thereto. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Revolving Loans and Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be substantially
identical to the Revolving Loans and the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Facility.
(d) On any Increased Amount Date on which any
Incremental Term Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions and unless otherwise
provided in the applicable Incremental Commitment Agreement, (i) each Person with an Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental
Term Loan Lender”) shall make a Loan to the Borrower (an “Incremental Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its
Incremental Term Loan Commitment, and (ii) each Incremental Term Loan Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental
Term Loan Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans made pursuant thereto.
(e) On any Increased Amount Date on which any
Incremental Synthetic L/C Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Person
with an Incremental Synthetic L/C Commitment (each, an “Incremental Synthetic L/C Lender”; together with Incremental
Revolving Lenders and Incremental Term Loan Lenders, the “Incremental Lenders”) shall make a deposit in a credit linked
deposit account in respect of such Incremental Synthetic L/C Facility (an “Incremental Synthetic Deposit”) in an amount
equal to its Incremental Synthetic L/C Commitment, and (ii) each Incremental Synthetic L/C Lender shall become a Lender hereunder with
respect to the Incremental Synthetic L/C Commitment and the Incremental Synthetic Deposits made pursuant thereto.
(f) Each Incremental Commitment Agreement may,
without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or
appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.23.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Tranche B Term Loans and the Tranche
C Term Loans constitute Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.24
Prepayments Required Due to Currency Fluctuation. On the last Business Day of each fiscal quarter, or at such other time
as is reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing
Lender, as applicable, shall determine the Dollar Equivalent of aggregate outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit. If, at the time
of such determination the aggregate outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect by 5% or
more, then within five Business Days of notice to the Borrower, the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall prepay Revolving
Loans or Swingline Loans or cash collateralize the outstanding Letters of Credit in an aggregate principal amount at least equal to such
excess; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, to determine the Dollar Equivalent
Amount of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit as provided in this Section 2.24 shall not subject the Administrative
Agent to any liability hereunder.
2.25
Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Revolving
Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8;
(b) the Commitment and Revolving Extensions of
such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including
any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 10.1); provided, that this clause (b) shall not
apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender
or each Lender affected thereby;
(c) if any L/C Obligations exist at the time a
Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender then:
(i) subject to the satisfaction of the
condition precedent in Section 5.2(b) of the Credit Agreement and following notice by the Administrative Agent, all or any part of the
Defaulting Lender’s ratable participating interest in the L/C Obligations shall be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders that
are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but, in any case, only to the extent the sum of the
outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit of all Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders before giving effect to such reallocation
plus such Defaulting Lender’s ratable participating interest in the L/C Obligations does not exceed the total of the Revolving Commitments
of all Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders; provided that if such condition precedent is not satisfied on the date
of such notice by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall within five Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent,
either (x) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s ratable participating interest in the L/C Obligations or (y) backstop such
Defaulting Lender’s participating interest in the L/C Obligations with a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable
Issuing Lender;
(ii) if the reallocation described in
clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected as a result of the limitations set forth therein, the Borrower shall within
five Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, either (x) cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s participating
interest in the L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) or (y) backstop such Defaulting
Lender’s participating interest in the L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above)
with a letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Lender, in each case, for so long as such L/C Obligations are
outstanding;
(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes
or backstops any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations pursuant to this paragraph (a), the Borrower shall not be required
to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations during
the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations are cash collateralized or backstopped;
(iv) if the L/C Obligations attributable
to the Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this paragraph (a), then the fees payable to the Lenders
pursuant to Sections 2.8 and 3.3 shall be adjusted in accordance with the non-Defaulting Lenders’ respective Revolving Percentages;
(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s
participating interest in L/C Obligations is neither cash collateralized, backstopped nor reallocated pursuant to this paragraph (a),
then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lenders or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under
Section 3.3 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participating interest in all L/C Obligations shall be payable to the applicable
Issuing Lenders until such participating interest in all L/C Obligations is backstopped, cash collateralized and/or reallocated;
(vi) any subsequent request for issuance,
amendment or increase of any Letter of Credit shall be subject to reallocating or cash collateralizing the relating L/C Obligations attributable
to any Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender in the manner described above; and
(vii) in the event a Revolving Lender
ceases to be a Defaulting Lender, all outstanding L/C Obligations shall be immediately reallocated ratably to the Revolving Lenders who
are not Defaulting Lenders and any cash collateral posted in respect of such Lender’s participating interest shall be returned to
the Borrower and any letter of credit issued to backstop such Lender’s participating interest shall be terminated, cancelled or
returned to the Borrower for cancellation, in each case, within three Business Days.
Subject to Section 10.19, no reallocation hereunder shall
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become
a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure
following such reallocation.
(d) if any Swingline Loans are outstanding at
the time a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall within five Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent prepay
such Swingline Loans or, if agreed by the Swingline Lenders, cash collateralize the participating interests in the Swingline Loans of
the Defaulting Lender on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lenders; and
(e) following the notice by the Administrative
Agent to the Borrower pursuant to clauses (c) or (d) above, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing
Lender shall be required to issue or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is reasonably satisfied that the reallocation and cash collateral
requirements described in clauses (c) and (d) above shall be provided for.
In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower,
each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such
Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion
of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other
Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such
Revolving Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage.
2.26
Extension of the Facilities
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower
to all Lenders under any
Facility holding Term Loans or Revolving Commitments with a like
maturity date, on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate Term Loans or Revolving Commitments with a like maturity date) and on the
same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders
that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Term Loan or Revolving
Commitment and otherwise modify the terms of such Term Loans or Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension
Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing or decreasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Term Loans or
Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings)) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Term Loans or Revolving
Commitments, as so extended, as well as the original Term Loans or Revolving Commitments not so extended, being a “tranche”;
any Extended Credits shall constitute a separate tranche of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments from the tranche of Term Loans or Revolving
Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) except
as to interest rates, fees and final maturity and related provisions including call protection (which shall be set forth in the relevant
Extension Offer), the Term Loan or Revolving Commitment of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Term Loan or Revolving
Commitment extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Credit”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Term
Loan or Revolving Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Term Loan or Revolving
Commitments (and related outstandings) from which they were converted; provided that (1) in the event that the interest rate margins
for the Loans made pursuant to any Extended Credit (each, an “Extended Loan”) having a maturity within twelve months
of the maturity date of the Term Loan or Revolving Commitment being extended is higher than the interest rate margins for the Loans that
are being extended, then the interest rate margining for the Loans that are not being extended shall be increased to the extent necessary
so that such interest rate margins are equal to the interest rate margins of such Extended Loans incurred pursuant to such Extension
(provided that, in determining the interest rate margins applicable to the Extended Loans or the Loans, (x) OID or upfront fees
(which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID, with OID being equated to interest rates in a manner determined by the Administrative
Agent based on a four-year maturity) paid to all Lenders in respect of the Extended Loans or the Loans, as applicable, shall be included,
and (y) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) in connection with such Extension
shall be excluded), (2) in the case of Extensions of Revolving Commitments (“Extended Commitments”, the borrowing
and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Commitments (and related outstandings), (B)
repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Commitments and (C) repayment made in connection with a permanent repayment
and termination of commitments) of Loans with respect to Extended Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a
pro rata basis with all other Revolving Commitments, (3) in the case of Extended Commitments, the repayment of Loans with respect to,
and termination of, Extended Commitments after the applicable Extension date shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other Revolving
Commitments, except that the Borrower shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of any such tranche on a greater
than a pro rata basis as compared to any other tranche with a later maturity date than such tranche and (4) assignments and participations
of Extended Credits and the related outstandings shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to
Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans and (5) at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Extended Commitments
and any original Revolving Commitments) which have more than three different maturity dates, (iii) if the aggregate principal amount
of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the
maximum aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower
pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Term Loans or Revolving Commitments (and the related outstandings) of such Lenders shall be
extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not
to exceed actual holdings of record) with
respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (iv) if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments
in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall be less than the maximum aggregate principal amount
of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer,
then the Borrower may require each Lender that does not accept such Extension Offer to assign pursuant to Section 10.6 its pro rata share
of the outstanding Loans, Revolving Commitments and/or participations in Letters of Credit (as applicable) offered to be extended pursuant
to such Extension Offer to one or more assignees which have agreed to such assignment and to extend the applicable maturity date; provided
that (1) each Lender that does not respond affirmatively within thirty (30) days of the date the offering document in respect of
an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders shall be deemed not to have accepted such Extension Offer, (2) each assigning Lender shall
have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal
and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (3) the processing and recordation fee specified in
Section 10.6(b) shall be paid by the Borrower or such assignee and (4) the assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the rights
under Section 10.5 for any period prior to the effectiveness of such assignment, (v) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall
be consistent with the foregoing and (vi) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower.
(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated
by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for
purposes of Section 2.10 or Section 2.11 and (ii) each Extension Offer shall specify the minimum amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments
to be tendered, which shall be a minimum amount approved by the Administrative Agent (a “Minimum Extension Condition”);
provided that the Borrower may waive the Minimum Extension Condition. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to
the transactions contemplated by this Section (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect
of any Extended Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any
provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, 2.17 and 10.7) or any other Loan Document that may
otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section.
(c) The consent of the Administrative Agent
shall be required to effectuate any Extension, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. No consent of any Lender shall be
required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or
more of its Revolving Commitments or Term Loans (or a portion thereof) (or, in the case of an Extension pursuant to clause (iv) of
Section 2.26(a), the consent of the assignee agreeing to the assignment of one or more Revolving Commitments or Term Loans, the
Revolving Loans or Term Loans and/or participations in Letters of Credit) and (B) in the case of Extended Commitments, the consent
of each Issuing Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All Extended Commitments and all obligations in
respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari
passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby
irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the
Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Commitments and Term Loans
so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with
this Section. In addition, if so provided in such amendment and with the consent of the Issuing Lenders, participations in Letters
of Credit expiring on or after the Revolving Termination Date with
respect to Revolving Commitments not so extended shall be
re-allocated from Lenders holding Revolving Commitments to Lenders holding Revolving Commitments extended pursuant to such amendment
in accordance with the terms of such amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon
receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such
Revolving Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including, without limitation, the commission applicable
thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.
(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower
shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative
Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and
other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any,
as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this
Section.
2.27
Restatement Date Transactions. It is understood and agreed that the Revolving Facility (as defined in this Agreement) is
a Refinancing Revolving Facility in respect of the Revolving Facility (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement).
SECTION
3. LETTERS OF CREDIT
3.1
L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the
other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue standby letters of credit and, in the sole discretion of the applicable
Issuing Lender, bank guarantees or other local equivalent instruments similar to standby letters of credit (collectively, “Letters
of Credit”) providing for the payment of cash upon the honoring of a presentation thereunder, for the account of the Borrower
or any Subsidiary Borrower for the support of its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations on any Business Day during the Revolving Commitment
Period in such form as may be approved from time to time by such Issuing Lender; provided that such Issuing Lender shall not issue
any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the Dollar Equivalent of the then outstanding L/C Obligations of such
Issuing Lender would exceed such Issuing Lender’s L/C Commitment then in effect, (ii) the outstanding principal amount of any Lender’s
Revolving Extensions of Credit shall exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (iii) the aggregate amount of the
Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars or an Optional Currency
and (ii) expire no later than the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (y) the date that is five Business
Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date (the “Letter of Credit Expiration Date”), provided that any Letter
of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the automatic extension or extension thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall
in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (y) above). Each request by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower for the
issuance of or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower that
the Letter of Credit or amendment so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within
the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s or Subsidiary Borrower’s ability to
obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly, the Borrower or Subsidiary Borrower may, during the foregoing period,
obtain Letter of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. If the Borrower so
requests in any applicable Application, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic
extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter
of Credit must permit the Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the
date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension
Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless
otherwise
directed by the Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Lender for any such extension.
Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing
Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration
Date; provided, however, that the Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (A) the Issuing Lender has determined
that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended)
under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (y) of Section 3.1(a) or Section 3.1(b)), or (B) it has received notice
(which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from
the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied, and in each such
case directing the Issuing Lender not to permit such extension. Each Issuing Lender at its option may issue any Letter of Credit by causing
any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Issuing Lender to issue such Letter of Credit; provided that any exercise
of such option shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower, any Subsidiary Borrower or any L/C Participant in respect of such Letter
of Credit under the terms of this Agreement.
(b) No Issuing Lender shall at any time be obligated
to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed
any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator
shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable
to the Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction
over the Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or
the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve
or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Restatement Effective
Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Restatement Effective
Date and which the Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it, (iii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or
more policies of the Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally or (iv) such Issuing Lender does not as of the issuance
date of the requested Letter of Credit issue Letters of Credit in the requested currency.
(c) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
Issuing Lender and the Borrower or Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable, when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall
apply to each standby Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible to the Borrower
or Subsidiary Borrower for, and the Issuing Lender’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any
action or inaction of the Issuing Lender required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be
applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the Requirement of Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the Issuing
Lender or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice
statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International
Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter
of Credit chooses such law or practice.
3.2
Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. The Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower may from time to time request that any
Issuing Lender issue or amend a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application
therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other
papers and information
as such Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the relevant Issuing Lender will process such Application and the
certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures
and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall any Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter
of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and
other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise
may be agreed to by the relevant Issuing Lender and the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower. The relevant Issuing Lender shall furnish
a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The relevant
Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the
issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).
3.3
Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on the Dollar Equivalent (as determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with the definition thereof) of all outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower and any relevant
Subsidiary Borrower at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Term Benchmark Loans under the Revolving
Facility, which fee shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders, shared ratably among the Revolving
Lenders, and payable quarterly in arrears on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay a fronting
fee in an amount to be agreed with the relevant Issuing Lender (but, in any event, not greater than of 0.125% per annum) on the undrawn
and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the account of the Borrower or any relevant Subsidiary
Borrower, payable quarterly in arrears to the relevant Issuing Lender on each Fee Payment Date after the issuance date.
(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower
shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing
Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.
3.4 L/C
Participations. (a) Each Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce
such Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts
and purchases from such Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account
and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in such Issuing Lender’s obligations
and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Lender thereunder. Each
L/C Participant agrees with each Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Lender is
not reimbursed in full by the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
(“Unreimbursed Amounts”), such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing
Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the
amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. Each L/C Participant’s obligation to pay such amount
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have against any Issuing Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary
Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or
the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 5, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or
otherwise) of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower, (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower,
any Subsidiary Borrower, any other Loan Party or any
other L/C Participant or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.
(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C
Participant to any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing
Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C
Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average
Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the relevant Issuing Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse
during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section
3.4(a) is not made available to the relevant Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment
is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated
from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the relevant Issuing Lender
submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender
has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance
with Section 3.4(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or
relevant Subsidiary Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of
interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided,
however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing
Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to
it.
3.5 Reimbursement
Obligation of the Borrower. If any draft is paid under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower shall
reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) the draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or
expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment, not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on (i) the
Business Day that the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower receives notice of such draft, if such notice is received on such day
prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, or (ii) if clause (i) above does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day
that the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary Borrower receives such notice. Each such payment shall be made to the relevant Issuing
Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars or in any other applicable currency and in immediately available
funds. The relevant Issuing Lender (at its option) may require reimbursement in Dollars even if the draft so paid was in any other
applicable currency. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment
in full at the rate set forth in (x) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 2.14(c) and (y)
thereafter, Section 2.14(d).
3.6
Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower under this Section 3 shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the
Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter
of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower and each relevant Subsidiary Borrower also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing
Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 of the Borrower and any relevant Subsidiary Borrower
shall not be affected by, among other things, (i) the validity or genuineness of documents or of any
endorsements thereon, even though
such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, (ii) any dispute between or among the Borrower or such Subsidiary
Borrower, as the case may be, and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred
or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any
such transferee, (iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan document, (iv)
waiver by the Issuing Lender of any requirement that exists for the Issuing Lender’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower
or Subsidiary Borrower or any waiver by the Issuing Lender which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower or Subsidiary Borrower,
(v) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft,
(vi) any payment made by the Issuing Lender in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration
date of, or the date by which documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by
the UCC, the ISP, or the UCP as applicable, (vii) any payment by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of
a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or any payment made by the Issuing Lender
under such Letter of Credit to any person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including
any arising in connection with any proceeding under any debtor relief law, (viii) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or
in the availability of the relevant alternative currency to the Borrower or Subsidiary Borrower or in the relevant currency markets generally
or (ix) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance
that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower. The Borrower or Subsidiary
Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of
any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will immediately notify the Issuing
Lender. The Borrower and Subsidiary Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing Lender and
its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or
delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except
for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender. The Borrower and each relevant Subsidiary Borrower agrees that any action taken
or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence
of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower and shall not result in any liability
of such Issuing Lender to the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower.
3.7
Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant Issuing
Lender shall, within the period stipulated by terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, examine the draft to determine if it complies
with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. After such examination the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower or
relevant Subsidiary Borrower of the date and amount of such draft. The responsibility of the relevant Issuing Lender to the Borrower or
relevant Subsidiary Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment
obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered
under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
3.8
Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the
provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.
3.9
Existing Letters of Credit. On and as of the RestatementSeventh
Amendment Effective Date the letters of credit set forth on Schedule 3.9 (the “Existing Letters of Credit”)
will constitute Letters of Credit under this Agreement and for the purposes hereof will be deemed to have been issued for the account
of the Borrower on the RestatementSeventh Amendment
Effective Date.
3.10
Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder
supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,”
“customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any
rights of the applicable Issuing Lender (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect
of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower or Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable, (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable
Issuing Lender hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit
had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable, and (ii) irrevocably waives any and
all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect
of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower and each Subsidiary Borrower hereby acknowledge that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for
its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower, as applicable, and that the Borrower’s or such
Subsidiary Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
SECTION
4. REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, ABG, Holdings and the Borrower hereby
jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:
4.1
Financial Condition. (a) [Reserved.]
(b) The audited consolidated balance sheets
of ABG as at December 31, 2020 and the audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower as at December 31, 2019 and December 31,
2018, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates (the
“Consolidated Financial Statements”), reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from Deloitte &
Touche LLP, present fairly the consolidated financial condition of ABG and the Borrower, respectively, as at such date, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended. All such
financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied
consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein).
No Group Member (other than ABG) has any material Guarantee Obligations, or any unusual forward or long-term commitments,
including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are
not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph, as of the date of such financial
statements.
4.2
No Change. Since December 31, 2020, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.3
Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and to the extent relevant in
such jurisdiction, in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, except where (other than the Borrower) the
failure to be so organized, existing or in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) has the
power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct
the business in which it is currently engaged, except where failure to have such power, authority and legal right could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing
or has applied for authority to operate as a foreign corporation under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation
of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and where a failure to be in good standing as a foreign corporation
would have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply
therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.4
Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make,
deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder.
Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents
to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person
is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability
of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 4.4, which
consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) the filings referred
to in Section 4.17. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement
constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party
thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and
by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
4.5
No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the issuance of Letters
of Credit, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any material Requirement of Law or any material
Contractual Obligation of any Group Member and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their
respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created
by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.6
Litigation. Except as disclosed by the Borrower to the Lenders in writing at least three Business Days prior to the Restatement
Effective Date, there shall not exist any action, investigation, litigation or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened in any court or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority that would have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.7
No Default. No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
4.8
Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Group Member has title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real
property (except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) and none of such property is subject to any Lien
except a Permitted Lien.
4.9
Intellectual Property. Each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, to its knowledge, all material Intellectual Property
necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.9, to each Group Member’s knowledge,
no claim has been asserted and is pending against such Group Member by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual
Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does ABG, Holdings or the Borrower know of any valid basis
for any such claim that if adversely determined could have a material adverse effect on the value of any material Intellectual Property
owned by such Group Member. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe,
to its knowledge, on the rights of any Person in any material respect.
4.10
Taxes. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all federal, state and local income and other material tax returns
that are required to be filed by it and has paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against
it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority
(other than any amount the validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to
which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Group Member or to the extent that failure to do
so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect) or with respect to which the failure to have filed such tax
returns or have paid such taxes would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.11
Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used (a)
for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted
terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations
of the Board or (b) for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the
requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.
4.12 ERISA.
Neither a Reportable Event nor a failure to satisfy the “minimum funding standards” (within the meaning of
Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) applicable to each Plan (whether or not waived) has occurred during the
five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan
has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code; (b) no termination of a Single Employer
Plan has occurred, no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen and no determination has been made that a Plan is, or is
expected to be, “at risk” (within the meaning of Section 430 of the Code or Section 303 of ERISA), during such five-year
period; (c) the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such
Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed
the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount; (d) neither the Borrower nor any
Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could
reasonably be expected to result in a liability under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would
become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw
completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is
made or deemed made; and (e) no such Multiemployer Plan is in
“endangered” or “critical” status (within the
meaning of Section 432 of the Code or Section 305 of ERISA) or Insolvent, except where, in each of clauses (a) through (e), such
event or condition, together with all other events or conditions, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
4.13
Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled”
by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
4.14
Subsidiaries. (a) As of the Third Restatement Effective Date, Schedule 4.14 sets forth the name and jurisdiction of organization
of each Subsidiary and, (i) as to each such Subsidiary (other than WTH Funding LP), the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned
by any Loan Party and (ii) in the case of WTH Funding LP, the names of the partners of such partnership and to the extent that the partners
of such partnership are Subsidiaries, the percentage of Capital Stock of such Subsidiaries owned by any Loan Party and (b) as of the Restatement
Effective Date, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than
stock options granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of
the Borrower or any Subsidiary (other than WTH Funding LP), except as created by the Loan Documents.
4.15
Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans, and the Letters of Credit, shall be used to
finance the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including Investments, Restricted
Payments and capital expenditures permitted under this Agreement. The proceeds of the Tranche B Term Loans made on the First Amendment
Effective Date shall be used only (i) to repay in full the outstanding principal amount of the Existing Tranche B Term Loans, together
with any accrued interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, (ii) for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
and (iii) to pay related costs and expenses. The proceeds of the Tranche C Term Loans made on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date shall
be used only (i) to repay in full, together with the Tranche C Term Loan Prepayment (as defined in the Sixth Amendment), the outstanding
principal amount of the Existing Tranche C Term Loans, together with any accrued interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof and
(ii) to pay related costs and expenses.
4.16 Accuracy
of Information, etc. No statement or information (other than the projections and pro forma financial information) contained in
this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Lender Presentation or any other document, certificate or statement furnished by or on
behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, for use in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents taken as a whole, contained as of the date such statement, information,
document or certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the Lender Presentation, as of the date of this Agreement), any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not
misleading. The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon
good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized
by the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results
during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a
material amount. As of the Restatement Effective Date there is no fact known to any Loan Party that could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents, in the Lender Presentation
or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for use in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents.
4.17
Security Documents. The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), a legal, valid and enforceable security
interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged Stock as defined and described in the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement, when stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the
case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified as of
the Restatement Effective Date), when financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 4.17 in appropriate form are filed
in the offices specified on Schedule 4.17 to the extent such filings are effective to perfect a security interest in such Collateral,
the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest
of the Loan Parties (other than ABG) in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement) under the laws of the United States, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except (i)
in the case of Collateral other than Pledged Stock, Permitted Liens and (ii) in the case of Pledged Stock, statutory Liens or nonconsensual
Liens). As of the Restatement Effective Date, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries holds any parcel of owned real property,
other than the properties listed in Part II of Schedule 1.1F, located in the United States having a value, in the reasonable opinion of
the Borrower, in excess of $10,000,000.
4.18
Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed
to ensure compliance by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption
Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective officers and directors and to the knowledge of
the Borrower its employees and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects and
are not knowingly engaged in any activity that would reasonably be expected to result in the Borrower being designated as a Sanctioned
Person. None of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their respective directors, officers or employees is a Sanctioned Person. No borrowing
or Letter of Credit or use of proceeds will directly or, knowingly, indirectly violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions.
4.19
Flood Insurance. The Borrower represents and warrants that prior to the date hereof, Borrower has delivered to the Administrative
Agent a completed “Life-of-Loan” Federal Emergency Management Agency standard flood hazard determination (together with notices
about special flood hazard area status and flood disaster assistance relating thereto, duly executed by the Borrower) with respect to
each portion of the Mortgaged Properties.
4.20
Affected Financial Institutions. No Loan Party is an Affected Financial Institution.

SECTION
6. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS
Holdings and the Borrower hereby jointly and severally
agree that, so long as the Commitments remain in effect, any Letter of Credit remains outstanding or any Loan or other amount is owing
to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder, each of Holdings and the Borrower shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries
to:
6.1
Financial Statements. Furnish to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall furnish to each Lender):
(a)
as soon as available, but in any event within 100 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, a copy of the audited
consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the end of such year and the related audited consolidated
statements of income and of cash flows for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous year,
reported on without a “going concern” qualification or exception (other than any such exception or explanatory paragraph (x)
with respect to, or resulting from, an upcoming maturity date under the Facilities that is scheduled to occur within one year from the
time such report is delivered and/or (y) any potential inability to satisfy the financial covenant set forth in Section 7.1 of this Agreement
on a future date or in a future period), or qualification arising out of the scope of the audit, by Deloitte & Touche LLP or other
independent certified public accountants of nationally recognized standing; and
(b)
as soon as available, but in any event not later than 55 days after the end of each of the first three quarterly periods of each
fiscal year of the Borrower, the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the end
of such quarter and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for such quarter and the portion of the

by a Responsible Officer as being fairly stated in all material respects (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments).
All such financial statements shall be complete and correct in
all material respects and shall be prepared in reasonable detail and in accordance with GAAP applied (except as approved by such
accountants or officer, as the case may be, and disclosed in reasonable detail therein) consistently throughout the periods
reflected therein and with prior periods and shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which such information has been
posted on the Borrower’s website at www.avisbudgetgroup.com, at www.sec.gov or at such other website identified in writing by
the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and accessible by the Lenders without charge; provided that the Borrower shall
deliver paper copies of such financial statements to the Administrative Agent or any Lender who requests the Borrower to deliver
such paper copies until written notice to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The
Borrower will be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this Section 6.1 if (i) any parent files with the SEC and provides
reports, documents and information of the types otherwise so required, in each case within the applicable time periods specified by
the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and the Borrower is not required to file such reports,
documents and information
separately under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC (after giving effect to any exemptive relief) because of the
filings by such parent or (ii) following an election by the Borrower pursuant to the definition of “GAAP”, the
applicable financial statements determined in accordance with IFRS.
Each of Holdings and the Borrower represents and warrants that it
and any of its Subsidiaries files its financial statements with the SEC and/or makes its financial statements available to potential holders

(y) agrees that at the time such financial statements are provided hereunder, they shall already have been made available to holders of
its securities. Neither Holdings nor the Borrower will request that any other material be posted to Public-Siders without expressly representing
and warranting to the Administrative Agent in writing that such materials do not constitute material non-public information within the
meaning of the federal securities laws (“MNPI”).

that such restrictions will not adversely affect in any material respect its or any Subsidiary’s obligations or ability to
make any payments required hereunder; provided that loans made by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to any other Subsidiary that

SECTION
9. THE AGENTS
9.1 Appointment.
Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such
action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform
such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in
this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or
any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
9.2
Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such
duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected
by it with reasonable care.
9.3
Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact
or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision
of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii)
responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or
any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for
the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any
failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation
to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.
9.4
Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying,
upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, e-mail,
statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the
proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to ABG, Holdings or the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note
as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with
the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this
Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all
liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall
in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance
with a request of the Required
Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or
failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
9.5 Notice
of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event
of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower
referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice
thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be
reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and
until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to)
take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in
the best interests of the Lenders.
9.6
Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and
that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall
be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently
and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made
its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of
the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender
also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information
as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations,
property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may
come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
affiliates.
9.7
Indemnification. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed
by ABG, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower and without limiting the obligation of ABG, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary
Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification
is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the
Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents
contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by
such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion
of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found
by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
9.8 Acknowledgement
of Lenders and Issuing Lenders. (a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender
that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the
Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or
otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or
not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no
event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof)
as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the
date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at
the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert,
and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect
to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without
limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative
Agent to any Lender under this Section 9.8 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives
a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from,
that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment
Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an
error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a
Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence
and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the
Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together
with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender
to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
(c) The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees
that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion
thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and
(y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other
Loan Party, except, in each case with respect to this clause (y), to the extent such erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to
the amount of such erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Loan
Party for the purpose of making such erroneous Payment.
(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section
9.8 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement
of, a Lender, the
termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
9.9 Agent
in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any
kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and
with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms
“Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
9.10
Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to
the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall
(unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be
subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall
succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such
successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as
Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or
any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent
by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent
may, on behalf of the Lenders and with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any
State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested
with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative

SECTION
10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Amendments
and Waivers. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, or any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented

relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party
to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to
the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any
manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the
Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that
no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (A) forgive any principal amount or extend the final
scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or any Reimbursement Obligation or extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in
respect of any Term Loan (for the purpose of clarity each of the foregoing not to include any waiver of a prepayment), reduce the
stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (1) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default
increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of each adversely
affected Facility), (2) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any “most favored nations” provision (which
waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders) and (3) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used
in the financial covenant in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this
clause (A)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any
Lender’s Revolving Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (B)
eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 10.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (C) reduce
any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower or any

written consent of all Lenders; (D) amend, modify or waive any
provision of Section 2.11 without the written consent of the
Majority Facility Lenders in respect of each Facility adversely affected thereby or amend, modify or waive any provision of Section
2.17 without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby; (E) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority
Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility; (F) after the

Lenders with respect of the Revolving Facility; (G) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written consent of
the Administrative Agent; (H) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.6 or 2.7 without the written consent of each

release ABG from its obligations under the Parent Guarantee except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents without the written
consent of the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to each Facility. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or
modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative
Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of
Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or
Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be amended with the written consent of the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each of the Lenders (or Persons that, following the effectiveness of such amendment, will become
Lenders) providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing, replacement or modification of all
outstanding Term Loans (“Replaced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder (“Replacement
Term Loans”), provided that (1) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate
principal amount of such Replaced Term Loans, (2) if the final maturity date of such Replacement Term Loans is not at least one year later
than the final maturity date of the Replaced Term Loans, the interest rate margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher
than the interest rate margin for such Replaced Term Loans by more than 50 basis points, or if the interest rate margin of such Replacement
Term Loans does so exceed by more than 50 basis points, the interest rate margin for the Replaced Term Loans shall be increased so that
the interest rate margin for such Replacement Term Loans is no greater than the interest rate margin for the Replaced Term Loans plus
50 basis points; provided that, the interest rate margins applicable to the Replacement Term Loans or the Replaced Term Loans shall
be determined in the manner set forth in Section 2.23(b) in respect of the Incremental Term Loans) and (3) the weighted average life to
maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Replaced Term Loans at
the time of such refinancing.
(c) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing,
this Agreement may be amended without consent of the Lenders, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
as follows:
(i) to designate any Domestic Subsidiary
of the Borrower as a Domestic Subsidiary Borrower under the Revolving Facility upon (A) ten Business Days prior notice to the Lenders
(such notice to contain the name, primary business address and taxpayer identification number of such Subsidiary), (B) the execution and
delivery by the Borrower, such Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent of a Joinder Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit G
(a “Joinder Agreement”), providing for such Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Borrower, (C) the agreement and acknowledgment
by the Borrower and each other Subsidiary Borrower that the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement covers the Obligations of such Subsidiary,
(D) delivery by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of all documentation and information as is reasonably requested in
writing by the Lenders at least three days prior to the
anticipated effective date of such designation required by U.S. regulatory authorities under applicable “know your
customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the PATRIOT Act, and (E) the delivery
to the Administrative Agent of (1) corporate or other applicable resolutions, other corporate or other applicable documents,
certificates and legal opinions in respect of such Subsidiary reasonably equivalent to comparable documents delivered on the Closing
Date and (2) such other documents with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request; and
(ii) to remove any Subsidiary as a Subsidiary
Borrower upon execution and delivery by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a written notification to such effect and repayment
in full of all Loans made to such Subsidiary Borrower, cash collateralization of all L/C Obligations in respect of any Letters of Credit
issued for the account of such Subsidiary Borrower and repayment in full of all other amounts owing by such Subsidiary Borrower under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (it being agreed that any such repayment shall be in accordance with the other terms of this
Agreement).
(d) In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing,
with the written consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower and the lenders providing the relevant
Refinancing Facility, this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, may be amended as may be necessary or appropriate,
in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to permit the creation hereunder of any such Refinancing Facility
and the incurrence of the related Refinancing Debt (any such amendment, a “Refinancing Amendment”).
(e) In addition, notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Borrower only, amend, modify
or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment,
modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender and the Lenders shall have received, at least five Business
Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of
such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment.

(a) The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse
the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development,
preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other
documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the
consummation and administration of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP and filing
and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the
Restatement Effective Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Restatement Effective Date) and from time to time thereafter on
a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each
Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the
fees and disbursements of counsel to the Lenders and of counsel to the Administrative Agent; provided, that the Borrower
shall not be liable for the fees and disbursements of more than one separate firm for the Lenders (unless there shall exist an
actual conflict of interest among the Lenders) in connection with any one action or any separate but substantially similar or
related actions in the same jurisdiction, nor shall the Borrower be liable for any settlement or extra-judicial resolution of claims
without the Borrower’s written consent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless
from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying,
stamp, excise and similar taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and
delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or
modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other
documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Joint Lead Arranger, Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective
officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from
and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (other than with respect to taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section
2.19) with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation
of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the
Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee
against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to
Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; provided further,
that that the Borrower shall not be liable for the fees and disbursements of more than one separate firm for any Indemnitees (unless
there shall exist an actual conflict of interest among such Indemnitees) in connection with any one action or any separate but
substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction, nor shall the Borrower be liable for any settlement or
extra-judicial resolution of such Indemnitees’ claims without the Borrower’s written consent.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing
paragraph, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to
assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery
with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or
nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Joint Lead Arranger,
Lender or the Administrative Agent or their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons
(each, an “Agent-Related Person”). To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and
each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of,
this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in
this sentence shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Agent-Related Person against special,
indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Agent-Related Person by a third party. No Agent-Related Person
shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by
it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not
later than 10 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be
submitted to the Chief Financial Officer (Telephone No. ) (Telecopy No. ), at the address of
the Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a
written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other
amounts payable hereunder.
10.6
Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of any
Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights
or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without
such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in
accordance with this Section.
(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth
in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than (A) any natural person (or holding company, investment
vehicle or trust for, or owned or operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person), (B) the Borrower or any of its Affiliates or
(C) a Defaulting Lender) (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:
(A)
the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be
required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under
Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and provided, further, that the Borrower shall be
deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Borrower shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent
within ten (10) Business Days after having received written notice thereof; and
(B)
the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Administrative
Agent shall be required for (x) an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund or (y) an assignment of all or any portion of a Revolving Commitment and Revolving Extensions of Credit by a Lender to an affiliate
of such Lender.
(C)
each Issuing Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no consent of the Issuing Lenders
shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan or Term Commitment.
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to
the following additional conditions:
(A)
except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning
Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered
to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than, in the case of the Revolving Facility, $5,000,000 or, in the case of the Term Facility,
$1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the
Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall
be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
(B)
the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption (provided
that, in lieu of an Assignment and Assumption, any assignment in connection with Section 2.22 or Section 2.26(a)(iv) may be effected pursuant
to such other procedures as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;
and
(C)
the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.
For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved
Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned or operated
for the primary benefit of, a natural person)) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions
of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or
(c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording
thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee
thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering
all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights
or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 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 paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting
for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount
of and interest on the Loans and L/C Obligations 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, the Issuing Lenders
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,
any Issuing Lender and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v) Upon its receipt of a duly
completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative
questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the
Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No
assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this
paragraph.
(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent
of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lenders, sell participations to one or more banks or other
entities (other than any natural person (or holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned or operated for the primary benefit
of, a natural person)) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto
for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lenders
and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement. Any agreement 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 may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification
or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section
10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of, and shall be subject to the limitations of, Sections 2.18, 2.19 and 2.20 to the same extent as if
it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law,
and subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though
it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation,
acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address
of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations
under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all
or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s
interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such
disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section
5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error,
and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register
pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 2.18 or 2.19 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect
to the participation sold to such Participant unless such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in a Requirement
of Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any funds
directly from the Borrower
in respect of Sections 2.18, 2.19, 2.20 or 10.7 unless such Participant shall have provided to Administrative
Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, such information as is required to be recorded in the Register
pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) above as if such Participant were a Lender. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section
2.19 unless such Participant complies with Section 2.19(e) and (f) as though it were a Lender.
(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or
assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including
any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such
Lender, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such
pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such
pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice
from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph
(d) above.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit
Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6(b). Each of ABG, Holdings, the Borrower, each
Subsidiary Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join
any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding
under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper
note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify,
save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a
proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.
10.7
Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated
to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall,
at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 8, receive
any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily,
by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than
any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such
Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to
each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such
Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however,
that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall
be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of
the Lenders provided by law, each Lender and each of its Affiliates shall have the right, without prior notice to ABG, Holdings, the Borrower
or any Subsidiary Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by ABG, Holdings, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Borrower to the
extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by ABG, Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower
hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and remaining unpaid past any applicable grace period provided
in this Agreement, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand,
provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or its Affiliates or any branch or agency
thereof to or for the credit or the account of ABG, Holdings, the Borrower or such Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender
agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
10.8
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate
counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed
signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in
or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to
include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system,
as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and
National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act; provided that nothing herein shall require the Administrative Agent to accept electronic signatures
in any form or format without its prior written consent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby (i) agrees
that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy
proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties, electronic images of this Agreement or any
other Loan Documents (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same legal effect, validity
and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of
the Loan Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Loan Documents, including with respect to any signature pages
thereto.
10.9
Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof,
and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
10.10
Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of ABG, Holdings, the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings,
representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth
or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
10.11
Governing Law.
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
10.12
Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of the Agents, Lenders, ABG, Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrowers
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a)
submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction
of the courts of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan, the courts of the United States for the Southern District
of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan, and appellate courts from any thereof;
(b)
consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter
have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient
court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
(c)
agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified
mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to ABG, Holdings, the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary Borrower,
as the case may be, at its address set forth in Section 10.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been
notified pursuant thereto;
(d)
agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit
the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and
(e)
waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding
referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages; provided, however, that nothing in this Section
10.12(e) shall limit or otherwise impair the obligations of the Borrower under Section 10.5.
10.13
Judgment. The obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Borrower in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
due to any party hereto shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “judgment currency”) other than the
currency in which the sum originally due to such party is denominated (the “original currency”), be discharged only
to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such party of any sum adjudged to be so due in the judgment currency such
party may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the original currency with the judgment currency; if the amount of the
original currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due under such judgment to such party in the original currency, the Borrower
or such Subsidiary Borrower, as the case may be, agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify
such party against such loss, and if the amount of the original currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to any party to this
Agreement, such party agrees to remit to the Borrower such excess. The provisions of this Section 10.13 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and payment of the obligations of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
10.14

Borrowers further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with
its affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing
investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and

securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, ABG, Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiary Borrowers
and other companies with which ABG, Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrowers may have commercial or other relationships. With
respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such

In addition, each of ABG, Holdings, the Borrower and

described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from ABG, Holdings, the Borrower or the Subsidiary
Borrowers by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with ABG, Holdings, the Borrower
and the Subsidiary Borrowers in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party
will furnish any such information to other companies. Each of ABG, Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Borrowers also acknowledges
that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to
ABG, Holdings, the Borrower or the Subsidiary Borrowers, confidential information obtained from other companies.
10.15
Releases of Guarantees and Liens. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any
Lender except as expressly required by Section 10.1) to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect of releasing any Collateral
or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or
that has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1 or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below. The security
interests granted under any Loan Documents on any Collateral that is transferred pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 7.5 shall
be released automatically upon consummation of such Disposition.
(b) At such time as the Loans, the Reimbursement
Obligations and the other obligations under the Loan Documents (other than any unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and obligations
under or in respect of Specified Swap Agreements and Specified Cash Management
Agreements) shall have been paid in full, the Commitments
have been terminated and no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding (or such Letters of Credit are Collateralized), the Collateral shall
be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly
stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all
without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.
10.16 Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all Information (as defined below); provided
that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such Information (a) to the
Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate thereof who agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section, (b)
subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section, to any actual or prospective Transferee or any direct or
indirect counterparty to any Swap Agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (c) to its employees, directors,
agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates for performing the purposes of a
Loan Document, (d) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, (e) in response to any order of any court or other
Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, after notice to the Borrower if
reasonably feasible, (f) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, after notice to
the Borrower if reasonably feasible and not otherwise prohibited, (g) that has been publicly disclosed (other than in violation of
this Section or any other confidentiality obligations owed to ABG, Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries known to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender), (h) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any
other self-regulatory body or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s
investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, or to any credit insurance provider relating to
the Borrower and its obligations, (i) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or
(j) if agreed by the Borrower in its sole discretion, to any other Person. “Information” means all information
received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis (other than in violation of this Section or any other confidentiality
obligations owed to ABG, Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries known to the Administrative Agent or such Lender) prior
to disclosure by the Borrower and other than information pertaining to this Agreement routinely provided by arrangers to data
service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry; provided that in the case of
information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.16 shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Each Lender acknowledges that information furnished
to it pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower and its
Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities, and confirms that it has developed compliance procedures regarding
the use of material non-public information and that it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with those procedures
and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.
All information, including requests for waivers
and amendments, furnished by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to, or in the course of administering, this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents will be syndicate-level information, which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and
its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities. Accordingly, each Lender represents to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent that it has identified
in its administrative questionnaire a credit contact who may receive information that may contain material
non-public information in accordance with its compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal and state securities laws.
10.17
WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO, INCLUDING ABG, HOLDINGS, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies ABG, Holdings and
the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001))
(the “USA Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies ABG, Holdings and
the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Holdings and the Borrower and other information that will allow such
Lender to identify ABG, Holdings and the Borrower in accordance with the USA Patriot Act and the Beneficial
Ownership Regulation.
10.19

anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party
hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down
and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion
Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto
that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such
liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or
cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion
of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge
institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted
by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such
liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
10.20 Effect
of Amendment and Restatement. Upon the Restatement Effective Date, this Agreement shall amend, and restate as amended, the
Existing Credit Agreement (including any contingent amendments thereto), but shall not constitute a novation thereof or in any way
impair or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the parties thereunder (including with respect to Loans and representations
and warranties made thereunder) except as such rights or obligations are amended or modified hereby. The Existing Credit Agreement
as amended and restated hereby shall be deemed to be a continuing agreement among the parties, and all documents, instruments and
agreements delivered pursuant to or in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement not amended and restated in connection with the
entry of the parties into this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, each in accordance with its terms, as of the date of
delivery or such other date as contemplated by such document, instrument or agreement to the same extent as if the modifications to
the Existing Credit Agreement contained herein were set forth in an amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement in a customary form,
unless such document, instrument
or agreement has otherwise been terminated or has expired in accordance with or pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement or such document, instrument or agreement or as otherwise agreed by the
required parties hereto or thereto. Upon the Restatement Effective Date, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized
by the Required Lenders (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 10.1) to
(a) release the Mortgages in respect of each Excluded Parcel and (b) amend and restate the Second Amended and Restated Guarantee and
Collateral Agreement, dated as of May 12, 2020, among Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries of the Borrower party thereto and the
Administrative Agent, by executing the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
H.
10.21
Several Obligations. The respective obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement are several and not joint and no Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to satisfy its obligations hereunder.
10.22
Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee
or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support”
and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”)
in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents
and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other
state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party
to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime,
the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported
QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered
Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported
QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States
or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding
under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any
QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default
Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws
of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and
remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a
Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
As used in this Section 10, the following terms
have the following meanings:
“BHC Act Affiliate” of a
party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such
party.
“Covered Entity”: any of
the following:
(i) a “covered entity” as
that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);
(ii) a “covered bank” as that
term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or
(iii) a “covered FSI” as that
term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
“Default Right” has the meaning
assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
“QFC” has the meaning assigned to
the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).
