it shall be true and correct in all respects) as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations

to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible

or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(h) THIS
AMENDMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF
OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(i) The
terms of Sections 10.14 and 10.15 of the Amended Credit Agreement with respect to submission to jurisdiction, waiver of venue and waiver
of jury trial are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.
(j) In
consideration of the agreements of the Administrative Agent, each US Lender, the Canadian Lender, each L/C Issuer, and the Swing Line
Lender set forth in this Amendment, each Loan Party hereby releases and forever discharges the Administrative Agent, each US Lender, the
Canadian Lender, each L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent’s, each US Lender’s, the Canadian Lender’s,
each L/C Issuer’s, and the Swing Line Lender’s respective predecessors, successors, assigns, officers, managers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys, representatives, affiliates and other Related Parties (hereinafter all of the above collectively referred
to as the “Lender Group”) from any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, damages, debts, suits, liabilities, actions
and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, in each case to the extent arising in connection with any of the Loan Documents through
the date of this Amendment, whether arising at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, whether liability be direct or indirect, liquidated
or unliquidated, whether absolute or contingent, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not heretofore asserted, which such Loan Party
may have or claim to have against any member of the Lender Group (the “Claims”), it being understood that the Loan
Parties do not release, discharge or acquit the Lender Group from the obligations specifically set forth in this Amendment and nothing
in this Section 4(j) shall be construed to constitute a release of or otherwise apply to a covenant not to sue in respect of any
Claims for breach of any obligation by any member of the Lender Group occurring after the date hereof.
Each Loan Party understands, acknowledges
and agrees that the release of the Lender Group provided in Section 4(j) hereof includes a waiver of any and all rights and protections
the Loan Party may have under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California (the text of which is below) and any similar statute or law.
Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California provides:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND
TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE
AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”
By executing this Amendment, each Loan Party
intends to (i) waive any and all rights and benefits which they may have under Section 1542 of the Civil Code or California, and any similar
statute or law, and (ii) assume the risk of releasing any existing, but as of yet unknown, claims.

or with respect to any rate that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any of such rates (including, without limitation,

(a)
The US Borrower may from time to time request that Alternative Currency Loans be made and/or Letters of Credit be issued

requested currency is an Eligible Currency. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Alternative Currency Loans,
such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the US A-2 Lenders; and in the case of any such request
with respect to the issuance of Letters of Credit, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the applicable
L/C Issuer.
(b)
Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., 20 Business Days prior to the date
of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any such
request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer, in its or their sole discretion). In the case of any such request
pertaining to Alternative Currency Loans, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each US A-2 Lender thereof; and in the case of
any such request pertaining to Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable L/C Issuer thereof. Each
US A-2 Lender (in the case of any such request pertaining to Alternative Currency Loans) or each L/C Issuer (in the case of a request

such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of Alternative Currency Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit,
as the case may be, in such requested currency.
(c)
Any failure by a US A-2 Lender or an L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to respond to such request within the time period specified
in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such US A-2 Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to permit Alternative
Currency Loans to be made or Letters of Credit to be issued in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the US A-2
Lenders consent to making Alternative Currency Loans in such requested currency and the Administrative Agent and the US A-2 Lenders reasonably
determine that an appropriate interest rate is available to be used for such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify
the US Borrower and (i) the Administrative Agent and the US A-2 Lenders may amend (notwithstanding anything set forth in Section 10.01
to the contrary) the definition of Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate to the extent necessary to add the
applicable rate for such currency and (ii) to the extent the definition of Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term
Rate, as applicable, has been amended to reflect the appropriate rate for such currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all
purposes to be an Alternative Currency for purposes of any Borrowings of Alternative Currency Loans; and if the Administrative Agent and
the applicable L/C Issuer consent to the issuance of Letters of Credit in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify
the US Borrower and (A) the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer may amend the definition of Alternative Currency Daily
Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, as applicable, to the extent necessary to add the applicable rate for such currency and (B) to
the extent the definition of Alternative Currency Daily Rate or Alternative Currency Term Rate, as applicable, has been amended to reflect
the appropriate rate for such currency, such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be an Alternative Currency hereunder
for purposes of any Letter of Credit issuances. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional
currency under this Section 1.05, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the US Borrower. Any specified currency
of an Existing Letter of Credit that is neither Dollars nor one of the Alternative Currencies specifically listed in the definition of
“Alternative Currency” shall be deemed an Alternative Currency with respect to such Existing Letter of Credit only.
1.06
Change of Currency.
(a)
Each obligation of the US Borrower to make a payment denominated in the national currency unit of any member state of the
European Union that adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the Third Amendment Effective Date shall be redenominated into Euro at
the time of such adoption. If, in relation to the currency of any such member state, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this
Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London interbank market for the basis
of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from
the date on which such member state adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided that if any Committed Borrowing A-2 in the
currency of such member state is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such
Committed Borrowing A-2, at the end of the then current Interest Period.
(b)
Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent
may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any
relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.
(c)
Each provision of this Agreement also shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative
Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect a change in currency of any other country and any relevant market conventions
or practices relating to the change in currency.
1.07
Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the US Borrower pursuant
to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more
than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up
if there is no nearest number).
1.08
Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified,
all references herein to times of day shall be references to Pacific time (daylight or standard, as applicable).
1.09
Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise
specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of 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 Issuer Document 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 Dollar Equivalent of 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 time.
1.10
UCC Terms. Terms defined in the UCC in effect
on the Third Restatement Date and not otherwise defined herein shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, have the meanings provided

give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base
Rate Loans; provided, however, that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Committed Loans A-2 denominated
in an Alternative Currency and bearing interest at an Alternative Currency Term Rate, such Loans shall be continued as Alternative Currency
Term Rate Loans in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month. Any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be
effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Term SOFR Loans. If the US Borrower
requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans in any such Committed
Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Committed
Loan may be converted into or continued as a Committed Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original
currency of such Committed Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.
(b)
Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each US A-1 Lender or US A-2
Lender, as applicable, of the amount (and currency) of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Committed Loans A-1 or Committed Loans
A-2, as applicable, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the US Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall
notify each US A-1 Lender or US A-2 Lender, as applicable, of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation
of Committed Loans A-2 denominated in a currency other than Dollars, in each case as described in the preceding subsection. In the case
of a Committed Borrowing A-1 or Committed Borrowing A-2, as applicable, each US A-1 Lender or US A-2 Lender, as applicable, shall make
the amount of its Committed Loan A-1 or Committed Loan A-2, as applicable, available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at
the Administrative Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any Committed Loan A-1 or
Committed Loan A-2 denominated in Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of
any Committed Loan A-2 in an Alternative Currency, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice.
Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension,
Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the US Borrower in like funds as received
by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the US Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount
of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable
to) the Administrative Agent by the US Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with
respect to such Borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by the US Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds
of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and, second, shall be made
available to the US Borrower as provided above.
(c)
Except as otherwise provided herein, a Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan may be continued or converted
only on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan. During the existence of a Default, if so requested by the Required US Lenders,
no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, and the Required US
A-2 Lenders may demand that any or all of the then outstanding Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans be prepaid, or redenominated into
Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.
(d)
Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be
conclusive and binding on the US Borrower and the US Lenders in the absence of manifest error.
(e)
After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all
continuations of Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Committed
Loans.
(f)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all of the portion
of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement,
pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the US Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.
(g)
This Section 2.02 shall not apply to Swing Line Loans.
2.03
Canadian Loans and Letters of Credit.
(a)
Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Canadian Lender agrees to make loans (each
such loan, a “Canadian Loan”) to any Canadian Borrower in Canadian Dollars from time to time, on any Business Day during
the Availability Period; provided that after giving effect to any Canadian Borrowing, the Canadian Total Outstandings shall not
exceed the amount of the Canadian Commitment. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, each
Canadian Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.03, prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.03.
Canadian Loans may be Canadian Prime Rate Loans or Term CORRA Rate Loans, as further provided herein.
(b)
Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Canadian Loans.
(i)
Each Canadian Borrowing, each conversion of Canadian Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Term CORRA
Rate Loans shall be made upon the US Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Canadian Lender, which may be given by telephone. Each
such notice must be received by the Canadian Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term CORRA Rate Loans or of any conversion of Term CORRA Rate Loans to Canadian Prime Rate
Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the US Borrower pursuant
to this Section 2.03(b) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Canadian Lender of a written Canadian Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the US Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Canadian Loans shall
be in a principal amount of C$100,000 or a whole multiple of C$100,000 in excess thereof. Each Canadian Loan Notice (whether telephonic
or written) shall specify (i) whether the US Borrower is requesting a Canadian Borrowing, a conversion of Canadian Loans from one Type
to the other, or a continuation of Term CORRA Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the
case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Canadian Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv)
the Type of Canadian Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Canadian Loans are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of
the Interest Period with respect thereto, and (vi) the applicable Canadian Borrower. If the US Borrower fails to specify a Type of Canadian
Loan in a Canadian Loan Notice or if the US Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable
Canadian Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Canadian Prime Rate Loans. Any automatic conversion to Canadian Prime Rate Loans shall
be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Term CORRA Rate Loans. If the US
Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Term CORRA Rate Loans in any such Canadian Loan Notice, but fails
to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.
(ii)
Following receipt of a Canadian Loan Notice, and upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02
(and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Canadian Lender shall make the amount of its Canadian
Loan available to the applicable Canadian Borrower in Same Day Funds either by (A) crediting the account of such Canadian Borrower
on the books of the Canadian Lender with the amount of such funds or (B) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance
with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Canadian Lender by the US Borrower.
(iii)
Except as otherwise provided herein, a Term CORRA Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest
Period for such Term CORRA Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, on notice from the Canadian Lender to the US Borrower, no Canadian
Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Term CORRA Rate Loans.
(iv)
The Canadian Lender shall promptly notify the US Borrower of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Term
CORRA Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Canadian Prime Rate Loans are outstanding, the Canadian Lender
shall notify the US Borrower of any change in the Canadian Lender’s prime rate used in determining the Canadian Prime Rate promptly
following the public announcement of such change.
(v)
After giving effect to all Canadian Borrowings, all conversions of Canadian Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations
of Canadian Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect with respect to Canadian Loans.
(c)
Canadian Letter of Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Canadian Lender agrees

drawings under the Canadian Letters of Credit; provided that after giving effect to the issuance of such Canadian Letter of Credit
or the increase of the amount thereof, (A) the Canadian Total Outstandings shall not exceed the amount of the Canadian Commitment and
(B) the Outstanding Amount of the Canadian L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Canadian L/C Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Canadian Borrower’s ability to obtain Canadian Letters of Credit shall be fully
revolving, and accordingly each Canadian Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Canadian Letters of Credit to replace Canadian
Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
(i)
The Canadian Lender shall be under no obligation to issue, amend or extend any Canadian Letters of Credit, if:

is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day).
(B)
any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain
the Canadian Lender from issuing such Canadian Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Canadian Lender or any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Canadian Lender shall prohibit, or
request that the Canadian Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Canadian Letter of Credit in particular
or shall impose upon the Canadian Lender with respect to such Canadian Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement
(for which the Canadian Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Third Restatement Date, or shall impose upon
the Canadian Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Third Restatement Date and which the Canadian
Lender in good faith deems material to it;
(C)
the issuance of such Canadian Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Canadian Lender applicable to letters
of credit generally; or
(D)
such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Canadian Dollars.
(ii)
The Canadian Lender shall be under no obligation to amend any Canadian Letter of Credit if (A) the Canadian Lender
would have no obligation at such time to issue such Canadian Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the
beneficiary of such Canadian Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Canadian Letter of Credit.
(d)
Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Canadian Letters of Credit.
(i)
Each Canadian Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the US Borrower delivered

the applicable Canadian Borrower shall furnish to the Canadian Lender such other documents and information pertaining to such requested

under a Canadian Letter of Credit, the applicable Canadian Borrower shall reimburse the Canadian Lender in an amount equal to the amount

of Credit and to repay each Canadian L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance
with the terms of the Canadian L/C Application completed by the applicable Canadian Borrower in respect of such Canadian Letter of Credit.

credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.
(b)
Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.
(i)
Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the US Borrower delivered to the
applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed
and signed by a Responsible Officer of the US Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application may be sent by facsimile, by United States mail,
by overnight courier, by electronic transmission using the system provided by the applicable L/C Issuer, by personal delivery or by any
other means acceptable to the applicable L/C Issuer. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and
the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. at least three Business Days (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent
and the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date
of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application
shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter
of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof (and, in the absence of specification of a currency,
shall be deemed a request for a Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars); (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address
of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the
full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of
the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a
request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory
to the applicable L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall
be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably
require. Additionally, the US Borrower shall furnish to the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and
information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the applicable L/C
Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
(ii)
Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative
Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the US
Borrower and, if not, the applicable L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the applicable L/C Issuer
has received written notice from any US A-1 Lender, the Administrative Agent or any US Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to
the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article
IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue
a Letter of Credit for the account of the US Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case
may be, in each case in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance
of each Letter of Credit, each US A-1 Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the
applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such US A-1 Lender’s Applicable
Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.
(iii)
If the US Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, agree to issue a standby 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 such L/C Issuer 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 applicable L/C Issuer, the US Borrower
shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has
been issued, the US A-1 Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer 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 such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such L/C Issuer 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 (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.04(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may
be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the
Administrative Agent that the Required US A-1 Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent,
any US A-1 Lender or the US Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied,
and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
(iv)
Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect
thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true
and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c)
Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(i)
Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable
L/C Issuer shall notify the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative
Currency, the US Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the applicable L/C Issuer
(at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such
requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the US Borrower shall have notified the applicable L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of
the notice of drawing that the US Borrower will reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement
in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the US
Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m.
on the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in Dollars, or the Applicable Time on
the date of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit to be reimbursed in an Alternative Currency (each such date,
an “Honor Date”), the US Borrower shall reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an
amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency. In the event that (A) a drawing denominated in an Alternative
Currency is to be reimbursed in Dollars pursuant to the second sentence in this Section 2.04(c)(i) and (B) the Dollar amount paid
by the US Borrower, whether on or after the Honor Date, shall not be adequate on the date of that payment to purchase in accordance with
normal banking procedures a sum denominated in the Alternative Currency equal to the drawing, the US Borrower agrees, as a separate and
independent obligation, to indemnify the applicable L/C Issuer for the loss resulting from its inability on that date to purchase the
Alternative Currency in the full amount of the drawing. If the US Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer by such time,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each US A-1 Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed
in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the
“Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such US A-1 Lender’s A-1 Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event,
the US Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing A-1 of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an
amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal
amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments A-1 and the conditions set
forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the
lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(ii)
Each US A-1 Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative
Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative
Agent’s Office for Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later
than 12:00 noon on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(c)(iii),
each US A-1 Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed Loan A-1 to the US Borrower in such
amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer in Dollars.
(iii)
With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Committed Borrowing A-1 of Base Rate Loans because
the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the US Borrower shall be deemed to have
incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C
Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each
US A-1 Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii)
shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such US A-1 Lender
in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.04.
(iv)
Until each US A-1 Lender funds its Committed Loan A-1 or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) to reimburse
the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such US A-1 Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.
(v)
Each US A-1 Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans A-1 or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer
for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.04(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such US A-1
Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the US Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence
or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided,
however, that each US A-1 Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans A-1 pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is
subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the US Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such
making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the US Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for
the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi)
If any US A-1 Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any
amount required to be paid by such US A-1 Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified
in Section 2.04(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover
from such US A-1 Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the
date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal
to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged
by the applicable L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such US A-1 Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid),
the portion of amount so paid equal to the Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount originally payable under Section 2.04(c)(ii)
shall constitute such US A-1 Lender’s Committed Loan A-1 included in the relevant Committed Borrowing A-1 or L/C Advance in respect
of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any US A-1 Lender (through
the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)
Repayment of Participations.
(i)
At any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any US A-1 Lender such
US A-1 Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.04(c), if the Administrative Agent receives
for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from
the US Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent
will distribute to such US A-1 Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to
reflect the period of time during which such US A-1 Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in Dollars and in the same funds as those
received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii)
If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i)
is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered
into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each US A-1 Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer
its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to
the date such amount is returned by such US A-1 Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in
effect. The obligations of the US A-1 Lenders under this clause shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments A-1, the termination
of the Aggregate Commitments A-2, the termination of the Canadian Commitment, the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the
termination of this Agreement.
(e)
Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the US Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under
each Letter of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and
shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i)
any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
(ii)
the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the US Borrower or any Subsidiary may have
at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such
transferee may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)
any draft, demand, endorsement, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with such Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv)
waiver by the applicable L/C Issuer of any requirement that exists for such L/C Issuer’s protection and not the protection
of the US Borrower or any waiver by the applicable L/C Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the US 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 applicable L/C Issuer 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 applicable L/C Issuer 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 such L/C Issuer 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 of 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 US
Borrower or any Subsidiary 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 US Borrower or any Subsidiary.
The US 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 US Borrower’s
instructions or other irregularity, the US Borrower will immediately notify the applicable L/C Issuer. The US Borrower shall be conclusively
deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable L/C Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f)
Role of L/C Issuers. Each US A-1 Lender and the US Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit,
the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight or time draft, certificates and
documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or
the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any
of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the applicable L/C Issuer shall be liable to any
US A-1 Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the US A-1 Lenders
or the Required US A-1 Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct;
or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit
or Issuer Document. The US Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to
its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the
US Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.
None of the applicable L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant
or assignee of the applicable L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (ix) of
Section 2.04(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the US Borrower
may have a claim against the applicable L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the US Borrower, to the extent, but only to the
extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the US Borrower which the US Borrower proves, as
determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct
or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary
of a sight or time draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and
not in limitation of the foregoing, an L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility
for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the
validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring, endorsing or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit
or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
The applicable L/C Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide
Interbank Financial Telecommunication (“SWIFT”) message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable
means of communicating with a beneficiary.
(g)
Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer
and the US Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the
rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter
of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to the US Borrower for, and the applicable
L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against the US Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the applicable L/C
Issuer 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 Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the applicable L/C Issuer 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.
(h)
Letter of Credit Fees. The US Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each US A-1 Lender
in accordance, subject to Section 2.18, with its Applicable Percentage, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter
of Credit Fee”) (i) for each commercial Letter of Credit equal to 1% per annum times the Dollar Equivalent of the
daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, and (ii) for each standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable
Rate times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing
the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance
with Section 1.09. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable
on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after
the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the
Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each standby Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied
by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required US A-1 Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit
Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
(i)
Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The US Borrower shall pay directly to
the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee (i) with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit, at
the rate specified in the applicable Fee Letter (or, with respect to any L/C Issuer other than Bank of America, the rates separately agreed
to by such L/C Issuer and the US Borrower), computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon
the issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of
Credit, at a rate separately agreed between the US Borrower and the applicable L/C Issuer, computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the amount
of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, and (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit,
at the rate per annum specified in the applicable Fee Letter (or, with respect to any L/C Issuer other than Bank of America, the rates
separately agreed to by such L/C Issuer and the US Borrower), computed on the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn
under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the first Business Day after
the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the
case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of
Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.09. In addition, the US Borrower
shall pay directly to the applicable L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other
processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect.
Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(j)
Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer
Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(k)
Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder
is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the US Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable
L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The US Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters
of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the US Borrower, and that the US Borrower’s business derives
substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
(l)
L/C Issuer Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer
shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, provide the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit
Report, as follows: (i) reasonably prior to the time that such L/C Issuer issues, amends, renews, increases or extends a Letter of Credit,
the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal, increase or extension and the stated amount of the applicable Letters of Credit after giving
effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed); (ii) on each Business Day
on which such L/C Issuer makes a payment pursuant to a Letter of Credit, the date and amount of such payment; (iii) on any Business Day
on which the US Borrower fails to reimburse a payment made pursuant to a Letter of Credit required to be reimbursed to such L/C Issuer
on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such payment; (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative
Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer; and (v) for so long as any Letter of Credit issued
by an L/C Issuer is outstanding, such L/C Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) on the last Business Day of each calendar
month, (B) at all other times a Letter of Credit Report is required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and (C) on each date that
(1) an L/C Credit Extension occurs or (2) there is any expiration, cancellation and/or disbursement, in each case, with respect to any
such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit Report appropriately completed with the information for every outstanding Letter of Credit issued
by such L/C Issuer.
(m)
Additional L/C Issuers. Any US A-1 Lender hereunder may become an L/C Issuer upon receipt by the Administrative Agent
of a fully executed Notice of Additional L/C Issuer (which Notice of Additional L/C Issuer shall specify the L/C Commitment of such new
L/C Issuer) which shall be signed by the US Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer. In connection with the delivery of
the Notice of Additional L/C Issuer, such US A-1 Lender shall also execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a joinder, in form
and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to the Loss Sharing Agreement in its capacity as an L/C Issuer.
2.05
Swing Line Loans.
(a)
The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the
agreements of the other US A-1 Lenders set forth in this Section 2.05, shall, subject to the terms of any Autoborrow Agreement,
make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the US Borrower from time to time on any Business Day
during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding
the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans A-1 and
L/C Obligations of the US A-1 Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such US A-1 Lender’s US A-1 Commitment;
provided, however, that (i) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (A) the US A-1 Total Outstandings shall not
exceed the Aggregate Commitments A-1, and (B) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans A-1 of any US A-1 Lender, plus
such US A-1 Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such US A-1 Lender’s
Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such US A-1 Lender’s US A-1 Commitment,
(ii) the US Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan and (iii) the Swing
Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive
and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits,
and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the US Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.05, prepay under Section 2.06,
and reborrow under this Section 2.05. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan; provided, that, if an Autoborrow
Agreement is in effect, the Swing Line Lender may, at its discretion, provide for an alternate rate of interest on Swing Line Loans under
such Autoborrow Agreement with respect to any Swing Line Loans for which the Swing Line Lender has not requested that the US A-1 Lenders
fund Base Rate Committed Loans A-1 to refinance, or to purchase and fund risk participations in, such Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section
2.05(c). Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each US A-1 Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such
US A-1 Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(b)
Borrowing Procedures.
(i)
At any time an Autoborrow Agreement is not in effect, each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the US Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Swing Line Loan
Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative
Agent of a Swing Line Loan Notice. Each such Swing Line Loan Notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 12:00 noon on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum
principal amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall
be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with
the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and,
if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing
Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any US A-1 Lender)
prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line
Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.05(a), or (B) that one or
more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
the Swing Line Lender shall, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount
of its Swing Line Loan available to the US Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the US Borrower on the books of the Swing
Line Lender in Same Day Funds.
(ii)
In order to facilitate the borrowing of Swing Line Loans, the US Borrower and the Swing Line Lender may mutually agree to,
and are hereby authorized to, enter into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line
Lender (each, an “Autoborrow Agreement”) providing for the automatic advance by the Swing Line Lender of Swing Line
Loans under the conditions set forth in such Autoborrow Agreement, which shall be in addition to the conditions set forth herein. At any
time an Autoborrow Agreement is in effect, the requirements for Swing Line Borrowings set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph
shall not apply, and all Swing Line Borrowings shall be made in accordance with such Autoborrow Agreement; provided, that,
any automatic advance made by Bank of America in reliance of an Autoborrow Agreement shall be deemed a Swing Line Loan as of the time
such automatic advance is made notwithstanding any provision in such Autoborrow Agreement to the contrary. For purposes of determining
the US A-1 Total Outstandings at any time during which an Autoborrow Agreement is in effect, the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line
Loans shall be deemed to be the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit. For purposes of any Swing Line Borrowing pursuant to an Autoborrow
Agreement, all references to Bank of America in such Autoborrow Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to Bank of America, in its
capacity as Swing Line Lender hereunder.
(c)
Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i)
The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the US Borrower (which hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each US A-1 Lender make a Base Rate Committed Loan A-1
in an amount equal to such US A-1 Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request
shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with
the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of
Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments A-1 and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02.
The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the US Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such
notice to the Administrative Agent. Each US A-1 Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified
in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral
available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s
Office for Dollar-denominated payments not later than 12:00 noon on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject
to Section 2.05(c)(ii), each US A-1 Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Committed
Loan A-1 to the US Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
(ii)
If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing A-1 in accordance with Section 2.05(c)(i),
the request for Base Rate Committed Loans A-1 submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by
the Swing Line Lender that each of the US A-1 Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each US A-1 Lender’s
payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) shall be deemed
payment in respect of such participation.
(iii)
If any US A-1 Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount
required to be paid by such US A-1 Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(c) by the time specified
in Section 2.05(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such US A-1 Lender (acting through the Administrative
Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect,
plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing.
If such US A-1 Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the portion of amount so paid equal to Applicable Percentage
of the amount of the Swing Line Loan to be refinanced shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan A-1 included in the relevant
Committed Borrowing A-1 or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender
submitted to any US A-1 Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.
(iv)
Each US A-1 Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans A-1 or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line
Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such US A-1 Lender may have against the Swing Line
Lender, the US Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any
other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each US A-1
Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans A-1 pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) is subject to the conditions set forth
in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the US Borrower
to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d)
Repayment of Participations.
(i)
At any time after any US A-1 Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line
Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such US A-1 Lender its Applicable
Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such
US A-1 Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.
(ii)
If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required
to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each US A-1 Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable
Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount
is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request
of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the US A-1 Lenders under this clause shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments
A-1, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments A-2, the termination of the Canadian Commitment, the repayment of all other Obligations
hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.
(e)
Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the US Borrower
for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each US A-1 Lender funds its Base Rate Committed Loan A-1 or risk participation pursuant to
this Section 2.05 to refinance such US A-1 Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect
of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
(f)
Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The US Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect
of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
2.06
Prepayments.
(a)
The US Borrower may, upon delivery of a Notice of Loan Prepayment from the US Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any
time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty subject to Section 3.05;
provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) two (2) Business
Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term SOFR Loans, (B) four Business Days (or five, in the case of prepayment of Loans denominated
in Special Notice Currencies) prior to any date of prepayment of Alternative Currency Loans, and (C) on the date of prepayment of
Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Term SOFR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; (iii) any prepayment of Alternative Currency Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000
or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iv) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then
outstanding. Each Notice of Loan Prepayment shall specify the date, currency and amount of such prepayment, if such Loan is Committed
Loan A-1 or Committed Loan A-2 and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Term Rate
Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each US A-1 Lender or US
A-2 Lender, as applicable, of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such US Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such
prepayment. If such notice is given by the US Borrower, the US Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in
such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Term
Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to
Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.18, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the US
Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.
(b)
The US Borrower may, upon notice from the US Borrower to the Canadian Lender, at any time or from time to time voluntarily
prepay Canadian Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the
Canadian Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term CORRA Rate Loans, and (B) on
the date of prepayment of Canadian Prime Rate Loans; and (ii) any prepayment of Canadian Loans shall be in a principal amount of
C$100,000 or a whole multiple of C$100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.
Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Canadian Loans to be prepaid and, if Term CORRA
Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. If such notice is given by the US Borrower, the applicable Canadian
Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
Any prepayment of a Term CORRA Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional
amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
(c)
At any time an Autoborrow Agreement is not in effect, the US Borrower may, upon delivery of a Notice of Loan Prepayment
to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans
in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and
the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon on the date of the prepayment, and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum
principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then
outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the US Borrower, the US
Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
(d)
If the Administrative Agent notifies the US Borrower at any time that the US A-1 Total Outstandings at such time exceed
an amount equal to 105% of the Aggregate Commitments A-1 then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice,
the US Borrower shall prepay Committed Loans A-1 and/or the US Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount
sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Aggregate Commitments A-1
then in effect; provided, however, that the US Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations
pursuant to this Section 2.06(d) unless after the prepayment in full of the Committed Loans A-1 and Swing Line Loans the US A-1
Total Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Commitments A-1 then in effect. The Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time
after the initial deposit of such Cash Collateral, request that additional Cash Collateral be provided in order to protect against the
results of further exchange rate fluctuations.
(e)
If the Administrative Agent notifies the US Borrower at any time that the US A-2 Total Outstandings at such time exceed
an amount equal to 105% of the Aggregate Commitments A-2 then in effect, then, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice,
the US Borrower shall prepay Committed Loans A-2 in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of
payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Aggregate Commitments A-2 then in effect.
(f)
If the Administrative Agent notifies the US Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all Committed Loans A-2
denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Aggregate Commitments A-2 then in effect, then,
within two Business Days after receipt of such notice, the US Borrower shall prepay Committed Loans A-2 denominated in Alternative Currencies
in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the
Aggregate Commitments A-2 then in effect.
(g)
If the Administrative Agent notifies the US Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations denominated
in Alternative Currencies at such time exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, then, within two
Business Days after receipt of such notice, the US Borrower shall Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies
in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such Outstanding Amount as of such date of payment to an amount not to exceed 100% of the
Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect.
2.07
Termination or Reduction of Commitments.
(a)
Aggregate Commitments. The US Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments
A-1 or the Aggregate Commitments A-2, as applicable, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments A-1 or the Aggregate
Commitments A-2, as applicable; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later
than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an
aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the US Borrower shall not terminate
or reduce the Aggregate Commitments A-1 or the Aggregate Commitments A-2, as applicable, if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent

A-1 or the Aggregate Commitments A-2, as applicable, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments
A-1, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Commitments A-1, the Letter of Credit
Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Administrative Agent
will promptly notify the US A-1 Lenders or the US A-2 Lenders, as applicable, of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate
Commitments A-1 or the Aggregate Commitments A-2, as applicable. Except as set forth above, the amount of any such Aggregate Commitment
A-1 reduction shall not be applied to the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the US Borrower.
Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments A-1 or the Aggregate Commitments A-2, as applicable, shall be applied to the US A-1 Commitment
or US A-2 Commitment, as applicable, of each US Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date
of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments A-1 or the Aggregate Commitments A-2, as applicable, shall be paid on the effective date
of such termination.
(b)
Canadian Commitment. The US Borrower may, upon notice to the Canadian Lender, terminate the Canadian Commitment,
or from time to time permanently reduce the Canadian Commitment; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the
Canadian Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of C$5,000,000 or any whole multiple of C$1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the US Borrower
shall not terminate or reduce the Canadian Commitment if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the
Canadian Total Outstandings would exceed the Canadian Commitment and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Canadian
Commitment, the Canadian L/C Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Canadian Commitment, the Canadian L/C Sublimit shall be automatically
reduced by the amount of such excess. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Canadian Commitment shall be
paid on the effective date of such termination. Upon any termination of the Aggregate Commitments A-1 and Aggregate Commitments A-2, the
Canadian Commitment shall automatically terminate.
2.08

or, if an Autoborrow Agreement is in effect, at a rate per annum provided by the Swing Line Lender. To the extent that any calculation
of interest or any fee required to be paid under this Agreement shall be based on (or result in) a calculation that is less than zero,
such calculation shall be deemed zero for purposes of this Agreement.
(b)
Subject to the provisions of subsection (c) below, (i) each Term CORRA Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate for such Interest Period

at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(ii) (A) If any amount (other than principal
of any Loan) payable by the US Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods),

bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Laws, and (B) if any amount (other than principal of any Canadian Loan) payable by the Canadian Borrowers under any Loan Document is not
paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the

extent permitted by applicable Laws, and (B) upon the request of the Canadian Lender, while any Event of Default exists, the Canadian
Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(iv) Accrued

(d)
Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other
times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment,
and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
(e)
For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), (i) whenever a rate of interest or fee rate hereunder is calculated
on the basis of a year (the “deemed year”) that contains fewer days than the actual number of days in the calendar year of
calculation, such rate of interest or fee rate shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest or fee rate by
the actual number of days in the calendar year of calculation and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year, (ii) the
principle of deemed reinvestment of interest shall not apply to any interest calculation hereunder and (iii) the rates of interest
stipulated herein are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to
plead or assert, whether by way of defense or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, that
the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to it, whether pursuant to section
4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable law or legal principle.
2.10
Fees. In addition to certain fees described
in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.03 and subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.04:
(a)
Commitment Fee. The US Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each US Lender in accordance
with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee in Dollars equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which
the Aggregate Commitments A-1 and Aggregate Commitments A-2 exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Committed Loans and (ii) the
Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.18. For the avoidance of doubt, the
Outstanding Amount of Swing Line Loans shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Aggregate Commitments A-1 for purposes
of determining the commitment fee. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time
during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first
Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Third Restatement
Date, and on the Maturity Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable
Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during
such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(b)
Canadian Fee. The Canadian Borrowers shall pay to the Canadian Lender a commitment fee in Canadian Dollars equal
to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Canadian Commitment exceeds the sum of (i) the Outstanding
Amount of Canadian Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of Canadian L/C Obligations. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times
during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and
shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing
with the first such date to occur after the Third Restatement Date, and on the Maturity Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly
in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied
by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(c)
Other Fees.
(i)
The US Borrower shall pay to Bank of America, as an Arranger, and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts,
in Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in each Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not
be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
(ii)
The US Borrower shall pay to the US Lenders, in Dollars, such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing
in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
2.11
Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.
(a)
Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans
determined by reference to Term SOFR) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.
All computations of interest for Committed Loans A-2 denominated in Alternative Currencies shall be made on the basis of a year as set
forth on Schedule 2.11 for such Alternative Currency and actual days elapsed. Except as provided in subsection (b) below with respect
to Canadian Loans and the commitment fee in respect of the Canadian Commitment, all other computations of fees and interest, including
those with respect to Term SOFR Loans, shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees
or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Committed Loan
and Swing Line Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which
the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section
2.13(a), bear interest for one day. Except as provided in subsection (b) below with respect to Canadian Loans and the commitment fee
in respect of the Canadian Commitment, each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b)
Canadian Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Canadian Prime Rate Loans and Term CORRA Rate Loans
shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All computations of commitment fees
in respect of the Canadian Commitment shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees
or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Canadian Loan for
the day on which the Canadian Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Canadian Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the
Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Canadian Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject
to Section 2.13(b), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Canadian Lender of an interest rate with respect to Canadian
Loans and commitment fees in respect of the Canadian Commitment shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c)
Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial
statements of the US Borrower or for any other reason, the US Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Net Funded
Debt to EBITDA Ratio as calculated by the US Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the
Consolidated Net Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, (A) the US Borrower shall immediately
and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable US Lenders or the applicable L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent and (B) each Canadian Borrower shall immediately and retroactively
be obligated to pay to the Canadian Lender promptly on demand by the Canadian Lender (or, in each case, after the occurrence of an actual
or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the US Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and
without further action by the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Lender, any US Lender or any L/C Issuer), an amount equal to the excess
of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such
period. This subsection shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Lender, any US Lender or any L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, under Section 2.04(c)(iii), 2.04(h) or 2.09(c) or under Article VIII. The US Borrower’s
obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments A-1, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments
A-2, the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the termination of this Agreement and each Canadian Borrower’s obligations
under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Canadian Commitment, the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the
termination of this Agreement.
2.12
Evidence of Debt.
(a)
The Credit Extensions (other than Canadian Borrowings) made by each US Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts
or records maintained by such US Lender in the ordinary course of business. The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register in accordance
with Section 10.06(c). The accounts or records maintained by each US Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount
of the Credit Extensions (other than Canadian Borrowings) made by the US Lenders to the US Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.
Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the US Borrower hereunder
to pay any amount owing with respect to the US Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by
any US Lender and the Register, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any US Lender to the
US Borrower made through the Administrative Agent, the US Borrower shall execute and deliver to such US Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such US Lender’s Loans to the US Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each US Lender
may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments
with respect thereto.
(b)
The Canadian Borrowings shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Canadian Lender in the ordinary
course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Canadian Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount
of Canadian Borrowings made by the Canadian Lender to a Canadian Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record
or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of any Canadian Borrower hereunder to pay any amount
owing with respect to the Canadian Obligations. Upon the request of the Canadian Lender to any Canadian Borrower, such Canadian Borrower
shall execute and deliver to the Canadian Lender a Note, which shall evidence the Canadian Lender’s Loans to such Canadian Borrower
in addition to such accounts or records. The Canadian Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable),
amount, currency and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(c)
In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsections (a) and (b), each US Lender and the Administrative
Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such US Lender of
participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by
the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any US Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative
Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
2.13
Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a)
General. All payments to be made by the US Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim,
defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Loans
denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by the US Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account
of the respective US Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same
Day Funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the US
Borrower hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Administrative
Agent, for the account of the respective US A-2 Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s
Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on
the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may require that any payments due
under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, the US Borrower is prohibited by any Law from making any required
payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, the US Borrower shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative
Currency payment amount. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each US Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable
share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such US Lender’s Lending Office. All payments
received by the Administrative Agent (i) after 1:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time
specified by the Administrative Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the
next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the US Borrower
shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time
shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b)
Canadian Borrowings. All payments to be made by a Canadian Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction
for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by a Canadian Borrower
hereunder shall be made to the Canadian Lender, at the Canadian Lending Office in Canadian Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than
1:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Canadian Lender may require that any payments
due under this Agreement with respect to the Canadian Commitment be made in Canada. All payments received by the Canadian Lender after
1:00 p.m., shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue
to accrue. If any payment to be made by a Canadian Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on
the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(c)
Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.
(i)
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a US Lender prior to the proposed date of any Committed
Borrowing of Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00
noon on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such US Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such US Lender’s
share of such Committed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such US Lender has made such share available on such date
in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such US Lender has made such
share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available
to the US Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a US Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable US Lender and the US Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date
such amount is made available to the US Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the
case of a payment to be made by such US Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily
charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the US Borrower,
the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the US Borrower and such US Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent
for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the US Borrower the amount of such interest paid
by the US Borrower for such period. If such US Lender pays its share of the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent,
then the amount so paid shall constitute such US Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by the
US Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the US Borrower may have against a US Lender that shall have failed to make such payment
to the Administrative Agent.
(ii)
Payments by US Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from the US Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the US Lenders
or an L/C Issuer hereunder that the US Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the US Borrower has
made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the US Lenders or such
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the
Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the applicable
Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the applicable
Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment, then
each of the US Lenders or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
the amount so distributed to such US Lender or such L/C Issuer, in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including
the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any US Lender
or the US Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d)
Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any US Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any
Loan to be made by such US Lender to the US Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds
are not made available to the US Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth
in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds
(in like funds as received from such US Lender) to such US Lender, without interest.
(e)
Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the US Lenders hereunder to make Committed Loans, to fund participations
in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure
of any US Lender to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any
date required hereunder shall not relieve any other US Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no US Lender
shall be responsible for the failure of any other US Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its
payment under Section 10.04(c).
(f)
Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any US Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any US Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan
in any particular place or manner.
2.14
Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any US
Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest
on any of the Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it resulting in such
US Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest
thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the US Lender receiving such greater proportion shall
(a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Committed Loans
and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other US Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable,
so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the US Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal
of and accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(a)
if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto
is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery,
without interest; and
(b)
the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the US Borrower pursuant
to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting
Lender that is a US Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.17, or (z) any payment
obtained by a US Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed Loans or subparticipations
in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the US Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to
which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
The US Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees,
to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Laws, that any US Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements
may exercise against the US Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such US Lender
were a direct creditor of the US Borrower in the amount of such participation.
2.15
Canadian Borrowers.
(a)
The US Borrower may at any time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the US Borrower to the Canadian
Lender and the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate
any additional Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of Canada or any political subdivision of Canada (an “Applicant Borrower”)
as a Canadian Borrower to receive Canadian Loans hereunder by delivering to the Canadian Lender and the Administrative Agent (which shall
promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit K
(a “Canadian Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to any
Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Lender
shall have received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel, affirmation of guarantees and other documents
or information, in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Canadian Lender and Administrative Agent, as may be required
by the Canadian Lender or the Administrative Agent in their reasonable discretion consistent with the documentation delivered by the Canadian
Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.01, and Notes signed by such new Canadian Borrower to the extent the Canadian Lender so requires.
If the Canadian Lender and Administrative Agent agree that an Applicant Borrower shall be entitled to receive Canadian Loans hereunder,
then promptly following receipt of all such requested resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel, affirmation of guarantees
and other documents or information, the Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit L (a “Canadian
Borrower Notice”) to the US Borrower and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute
a Canadian Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon the Canadian Lender agrees to permit such Canadian Borrower to receive Canadian Loans
hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Applicant Borrower otherwise shall be
a Canadian Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement.
(b)
Each Subsidiary of the US Borrower that is a “Canadian Borrower” or becomes a “Canadian Borrower”
pursuant to this Section 2.15 hereby irrevocably appoints the US Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement
and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of notices and (ii) the execution and delivery of
all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement,
direction, certification or other communication delivered to the US Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed
to have been delivered to each Canadian Borrower.
(c)
The US Borrower may from time to time, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ notice from the US Borrower to the Canadian
Lender and Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), terminate
a Canadian Borrower’s status as such, provided that there are no outstanding Canadian Loans payable by such Canadian Borrower,
or other amounts payable by such Canadian Borrower hereunder or on account of any Canadian Loans made to it, as of the effective date
of such termination. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Canadian Borrower’s
status.
2.16
Increase in Commitments.
(a)
Increase in US A-1 Commitments.
(i)
Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly
notify the US A-1 Lenders), the US Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments A-1 by an amount (for
all such requests) not exceeding $300,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount
of $50,000,000, (ii) the US Borrower may make a maximum of two such requests and (iii) no Lender will be required or otherwise obligated
to provide any portion of such increase in the Aggregate Commitments A-1. At the time of sending such notice, the US Borrower (in consultation
with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each US A-1 Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no
event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the US Lenders).
(ii)
Lender Elections to Increase. Each US A-1 Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether
or not it agrees to increase its US A-1 Commitment (which decision shall be in such Lender’s sole discretion) and, if so, whether
by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any US A-1 Lender not responding
within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its US A-1 Commitment.
(iii)
Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the US Borrower and
each US A-1 Lender of the US A-1 Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase
and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably
withheld), the US Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become US A-1 Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form
and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
(iv)
Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments A-1 are increased in accordance with this Section, the
Administrative Agent and the US Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the
final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the US Borrower and the US A-1 Lenders of the final
allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.
(v)
Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the US Borrower shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each US
A-1 Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan
Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of the US Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving
effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true
and correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation and warranty itself is qualified by “materiality,”
“Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifier, in which case it shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the
Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which
case they are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation and warranty itself is qualified
by “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifier, in which case it shall be true and correct in
all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.16, the representations and warranties contained
in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses
(a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists. The US Borrower shall prepay any Committed Loans A-1
outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent
necessary to keep the outstanding Committed Loans A-1 ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase
in the US A-1 Commitments under this Section.
(b) Increase
in Canadian Commitment.
(i)
Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Canadian Lender, the US Borrower may from
time to time, request an increase in the Canadian Commitment; provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount
of C$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of C$1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(ii)
Lender Elections to Increase. The Canadian Lender shall notify the US Borrower within 30 days from the date of delivery
of such request whether or not it agrees to increase the Canadian Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to or less than the
amount of such requested increase. In the event the Canadian Lender fails to respond within such time period, the Canadian Lender shall
be deemed to have declined to increase the Canadian Commitment.
(iii)
Effective Date. If the Canadian Commitment is increased in accordance with this subsection, the Canadian Lender shall
promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each US Lender of the amount of such increase and the date of its effectiveness.
(c) Conflicting
Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Sections 2.14 or 10.01 to the contrary.
2.17
Cash Collateral.
(a)
Certain Credit Support Events. If (i) any L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter
of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any
reason remains outstanding, or (iii) the US Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.06 or Section
8.02(a)(iii), the US Borrower shall, in each case, immediately provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum
Collateral Amount. Upon the request of the Canadian Lender (x) if the Canadian Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request
under any Canadian Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a Canadian L/C Borrowing, (y) if, as of the day that is seven
days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day), any Letter of
Credit for any reason remains outstanding, or (z) the Canadian Borrowers shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section
8.02(a)(iii) or Section 8.02(b)(iii), the Canadian Borrowers shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding
Amount of all Canadian L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, unless the obligations of such Defaulting
Lender have been fully re-allocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.18(b), immediately upon the request of
the Administrative Agent, the applicable L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the US Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent
Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined after giving effect to Section 2.18(b)
and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b)
Grant of Security Interest. The US Borrower, and to the extent provided by any US A-1 Lender, such US A-1 Lender,
hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers
and the US A-1 Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances
therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the
obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.17(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent
determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuers
as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the US Borrower will,
promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient
to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained
in one or more blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. The US Borrower shall pay on demand therefor from time
to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement
of Cash Collateral.
(c)
Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under
any of this Section 2.17 or Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.18 or 8.02 in respect of
Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans,
obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on
such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property
as may be otherwise provided for herein.
(d)
Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other
obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise
thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable US A-1 Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following
compliance with Section 10.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the good faith determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable
L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) any such release shall be without prejudice
to, and any disbursement or other transfer of Cash Collateral shall be and remain subject to, any other Lien conferred under the Loan
Documents and the other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C
Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other
obligations.
2.18
Defaulting Lenders.
(a)
Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting
Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)
Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent
with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.01.
(ii)
Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise)
or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or times
as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender
to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender
to an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize an L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect
to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.17; fourth, as the US Borrower may request (so long as no Default
exists), to the funding of any Committed Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required
by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the US Borrower,
to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding
obligations with respect to Committed Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize an L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure
with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section
2.17; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the US Lenders, an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any US Lender, an L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender
as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or
Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the US Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
obtained by the US Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under
this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise as may be required under the Loan Documents in connection
with any Lien conferred thereunder or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment
of the principal amount of any Committed Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate
share, and (y) such Committed Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Committed Loans of, and L/C Obligations
owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Committed Loans of, or L/C Obligations
owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swing
Line Loans are held by the US Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.18(b).
Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a
Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such
Defaulting Lender, and each US Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)
Certain Fees.
(A)
No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.10(a) for any period during which
that US Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the US Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required
to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(B)
Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that US A-1 Lender
is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it
has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.17.
(C)
With respect to any Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (B) above,
the US Borrower shall (x) pay to each non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with
respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such non-Defaulting
Lender pursuant to clause (b) below, (y) pay to the applicable L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such
fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or Swing Line Lender’s Fronting
Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.
(D)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Canadian Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender
then, until such time as it is no longer a Defaulting Lender, it shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section
2.10(b) for any period during which it is a Defaulting Lender (and no Canadian Borrower shall be required to pay any such fee that
otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). At any time that the Canadian Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, the Canadian Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit fees for any period during which it is a Defaulting Lender only
to the extent allocable to the stated amount of Canadian Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral.
(b)
Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s
participation in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective
Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s US A-1 Commitment) but only to the extent that such
reallocation does not cause the US A-1 Commitment of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s US A-1 Commitment.
Subject to Section 10.23, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against
a Defaulting Lender arising from that US A-1 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.
(c)
Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (b) above cannot,
or can only partially, be effected, the US Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under
applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y)
second, Cash Collateralize the applicable L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section
2.17.
(d)
Defaulting Lender Cure. If the US Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuers agree
in writing that a US Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as
of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect
to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Committed Loans of the
other US Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Committed Loans and
funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the US Lenders in accordance
with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.18(b)), whereupon such US Lender will cease to be a Defaulting
Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of
the US Borrower while that US Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to US Lender will constitute a waiver or release
of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that US Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
2.19
ESG Amendment.
(a)
After the Third Amendment Effective Date and until the first anniversary of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the US
Borrower, in consultation with the Sustainability Coordinators, may establish specified key performance indicators (“KPIs”)
with respect to certain environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) targets of the US Borrower and its Subsidiaries.
The Sustainability Coordinators, the Administrative Agent, the US Borrower and the Required Lenders may amend this Agreement (such amendment,
an “ESG Amendment”; it being understood and agreed that (x) prior to the effectiveness of an ESG Amendment, the US
Borrower shall have mandated each Sustainability Coordinator to act as a sustainability coordinator in connection with such ESG Amendment
and any ESG-related matters in connection therewith (such mandate to be in a writing signed by the US Borrower and the applicable Sustainability
Coordinator, or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Sustainability Coordinator), and (y) in connection
with the effectiveness of an ESG Amendment, the US Borrower shall have paid any fees required to be paid to each Sustainability Coordinator
in connection with such ESG Amendment) solely for the purpose of incorporating the KPIs and other related provisions (the “ESG
Pricing Provisions”) into this Agreement, and any such amendment shall become effective upon receipt of the consent of the Required
Lenders. Upon the effectiveness of any such ESG Amendment, based on the Borrower’s performance against the KPIs, certain adjustments
(increase, decrease or no adjustment) (such adjustments, the “ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments”) to the otherwise applicable
Applicable Rate for Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans, Canadian Loans, standby Letter of Credit Fees pursuant to Section 2.04(h)(ii),
standby Canadian Letter of Credit fees pursuant to Section 2.03(h)(ii) and commitment fees pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or
Section 2.10(b) will be made; provided, that, the amount of the ESG Applicable Rate Adjustments shall not exceed
(i) in the case of the Applicable Rate for the commitment fees pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b), an increase
and/or decrease of 0.005%, and (ii) in the case of the Applicable Rate for Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans, Canadian Loans, standby
Letter of Credit Fees pursuant to Section 2.04(h)(ii) and standby Canadian Letter of Credit fees pursuant to Section 2.03(h)(ii),
(A) in the case of any particular KPI, an increase or decrease of 0.025% and (B) in the aggregate for all KPIs, an increase and/or decrease
of 0.05%, and, in each of clauses (i) and (ii), such adjustments shall not be cumulative year-over-year; provided, further,
that, in no event shall the Applicable Rate for Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans, Canadian Loans, standby Letter of Credit Fees
pursuant to Section 2.04(h)(ii), standby Canadian Letter of Credit fees pursuant to Section 2.03(h)(ii) and commitment fees
pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b) be less than zero. The pricing adjustments pursuant to the KPIs will require,
among other things, reporting and validation of the measurement of the KPIs in a manner that is aligned with the sustainability linked
loan principles (as published from time to time by the Loan Market Association, Asia Pacific Loan Market Association and Loan Syndications
& Trading Association).
(b)
Following the effectiveness of an ESG Amendment, any modification to the ESG Pricing Provisions shall be subject only to
the consent of the Sustainability Coordinators, the Administrative Agent, the US Borrower and the Required Lenders so long as such modification
does not have the effect of reducing the Applicable Rate for Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans, Canadian Loans, standby Letter of Credit
Fees pursuant to Section 2.04(h)(ii), standby Canadian Letter of Credit fees pursuant to Section 2.03(h)(ii) and commitment
fees pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b) to a level not otherwise permitted by Section 2.19(a).
Article
III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01
Taxes.
(a)
Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.
(i)
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall
to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however,
applicable Laws require an applicable withholding payer or withholding agent, as the case may be, to withhold or deduct any Tax, such
Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by such withholding payer or withholding agent, as the case
may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.
(ii)
If the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including
both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding Taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold
or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has
received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made
on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the US Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding
or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable
Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(iii)
If the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold
or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) the applicable withholding agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined
by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such withholding
agent shall timely pay the full amount so withheld or deducted by it to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws,
and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the US Borrower
shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(iv)
If a Canadian Borrower shall be required by any applicable Laws to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such
Canadian Borrower, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon
the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Canadian Borrower, to the extent required
by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount so withheld or deducted by it to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by such
Canadian Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Canadian Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(b)
Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall
timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.
(c)

Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by or required to be withheld or
deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The US Borrower shall also, and does hereby,
indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which
a US Lender or an L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (iii) of this
subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the US Borrower by a US Lender or an L/C Issuer
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a US Lender or an L/C Issuer,
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ii)
Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Canadian Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify
the Canadian Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted
by such Canadian Borrower or the Canadian Lender or paid by the Canadian Lender, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the US Borrower by
the Canadian Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iii)
Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each US Lender and each L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby,
severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against
any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such US Lender or such L/C Issuer (but only to the extent that the US Borrower has not already indemnified
the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the US Borrower to do so), (y) the Administrative
Agent and the US Borrower, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions
of Section 10.06(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the US Borrower, as applicable,
against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or the L/C Issuers, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative
Agent or the US Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,

or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the US Borrower shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the US Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified
copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such
payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(ii)
Upon request by a Canadian Borrower through the US Borrower or the Canadian Lender, as the case may be, after any payment
of Taxes by a Canadian Borrower or by the Canadian Lender to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the
US Borrower shall deliver to the Canadian Lender or the Canadian Lender shall deliver to the US Borrower, as the case may be, the original
or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws

(e)
Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.
(i)
Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Document shall deliver to the US Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or
when reasonably requested by the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed
by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit such
payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the US
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the
US Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine (A) whether or not payments
made by a Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document to such Lender is subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate
of withholding or deduction, (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in
respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the applicable Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document to such Lender
or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding Tax purposes in the applicable jurisdictions, or (D) whether or not
such Lender is subject to information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences,
the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A),
3.01(e)(ii)(B) and 3.01(e)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion,
execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal
or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the US Borrower is a US Person,
(A)
any US Lender that is a US Person shall deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed copies of IRS Form
W-9 to determine whether or not such US Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and
(B)
each Foreign Lender that, with respect to the US Borrower, is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption
from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the US Borrower
and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign
Lender becomes a US Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the US Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
1.
executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E claiming eligibility for benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United
States is a party,
2.
executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI,
3.
executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation, or
4.
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the
Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A)
of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the US Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or
(C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN
or W-8BEN-E,
(C)
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a
US Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the US Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United
States Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the US
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)
if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA
if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b)
or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed
by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested
by the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their
obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments
made to FATCA after the Third Restatement Date.
(iii)
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires
or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the US Borrower and the
Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(iv)
The US Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent or any US Lender, as the Administrative Agent or such
US Lender shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Third Restatement Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and
forms required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly executed and completed by the US Borrower,
as are required to be furnished to such US Lender or the Administrative Agent under such Laws in connection with any payment by the Administrative
Agent or any US Lender of Taxes, or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction.
(f)
Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have
any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or
any L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case
may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of
any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to
this Section, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses and net of any loss or gain realized in the conversion of such funds from or to another currency incurred by the Administrative
Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender
or such L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such
Lender or such L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to a Borrower pursuant to this subsection the
payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax
subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification
payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential)
to any Borrower or any other Person.
3.02
Illegality.
(a)
Term SOFR and Alternative Currency Loans. If any US Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that
any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any US Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund
or charge interest with respect to any Credit Extension, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon a Relevant Rate, or to determine
or charge interest rates based upon a Relevant Rate purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or any Alternative Currency in the
applicable interbank market, then, upon notice thereof by such US Lender to the US Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (i) any
obligation of such US Lender to make or maintain Alternative Currency Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of
Committed Loans denominated in Dollars, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans
to Term SOFR Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such US Lender making or maintaining Base
Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which
Base Rate Loans of such US Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference
to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such US Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the US Borrower that
the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the US Borrower shall, upon
demand from such US Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay all Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans, as applicable
in the affected currency or currencies or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans of such US Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest
rate on which Base Rate Loans of such US Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent
without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), in each case, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor,
if such US Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loan to such day, or immediately, if such US Lender may not lawfully
continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loan, or, in the case of Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, if such US Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if
such US Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Alternative Currency Term Rate Loans and (B) if such notice asserts the
illegality of such US Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period
of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such US Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative
Agent is advised in writing by such US Lender that it is no longer illegal for such US Lender to determine or charge interest rates based
upon SOFR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the US Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted,
together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
(b)
Term CORRA Rate Loans. If the Canadian Lender determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Canadian Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or
fund Term CORRA Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Canadian Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Canadian
Dollars in the Canadian commercial banking market, then, on notice thereof by the Canadian Lender to the US Borrower, any obligation of
the Canadian Lender to make or continue Term CORRA Rate Loans, to convert Canadian Prime Rate Loans to Term CORRA Rate Loans, shall be
suspended until the Canadian Lender notifies the US Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.
Upon receipt of such notice, each Canadian Borrower shall, upon demand from the Canadian Lender (with a copy to the US Borrower), prepay
or, if applicable, convert all such Term CORRA Rate Loans to Canadian Prime Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, if the Canadian Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term CORRA Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Canadian
Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term CORRA Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the applicable Canadian
Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.03
Inability to Determine Rates.
(a)
Term SOFR and Alternative Currency Loans. If in connection with any request for a Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative
Currency Loan or a conversion of Base Rate Loans to a Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Loan or a continuation of any of such
Committed Loans, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error) that (A) no Successor Rate for the Relevant Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency has been determined in accordance with Section
3.07(a) or Section 3.07(b) and the circumstances under Section 3.07(a)(i) or Section 3.07(b)(i) or the Scheduled
Unavailability Date, or the Term SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date, has occurred with respect to such Relevant Rate (as applicable),
or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining the Relevant Rate for the applicable Agreed Currency for any
determination date(s) or requested Interest Period, as applicable, with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency
Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required US Lenders determine
that for any reason that the Relevant Rate with respect to a proposed Committed Loan denominated in an Agreed Currency for any requested
Interest Period or determination date(s) does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such US Lenders of funding such Committed
Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the US Borrower and each US Lender.
Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the US Lenders
to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans or Committed Loans in the affected currencies, as applicable, or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term
SOFR Loans or Loans in the affected currencies, as applicable, shall be suspended in each case to the extent of the affected Term SOFR
Loans, Alternative Currency Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as applicable, and (y) in the event of a determination
described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component
in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the
Required US Lenders described in Section 3.03(a)(ii), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required US Lenders)
revokes such notice.
Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the US Borrower may
revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Loans, or Borrowing of, or continuation
of Alternative Currency Loans to the extent of the affected Alternative Currency Loans or Interest Period or determination date(s), as
applicable or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii)
(A) any outstanding Term SOFR Loans shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Loans immediately at the end of their respective
applicable Interest Period and (B) any outstanding affected Alternative Currency Loans, at the US Borrower’s election, shall either
(1) be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such outstanding
Alternative Currency Loan immediately, in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan or at the end of the applicable Interest
Period, in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan or (2) be prepaid in full immediately, in the case of an Alternative Currency
Daily Rate Loan, or at the end of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan; provided,
that, if no election is made by the US Borrower (x) in the case of an Alternative Currency Daily Rate Loan, by the date that is
three (3) Business Days after receipt by the US Borrower of such notice or (y) in the case of an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan,
by the last day of the current Interest Period for the applicable Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan, the US Borrower shall be deemed
to have elected clause (1) above.
(b)
Term CORRA Rate Loans. If the Canadian Lender determines that for any reason in connection with any request for a
Term CORRA Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (i) Canadian Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks
in the Canadian commercial banking market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Term CORRA Rate Loan, (ii) adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to
a proposed Term CORRA Rate Loan, or (iii) the Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed Term CORRA Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Canadian Lender of funding such Term CORRA Rate Loan,
the Canadian Lender will promptly so notify the US Borrower. Thereafter, the obligation of the Canadian Lender to make or maintain Term
CORRA Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Canadian Lender revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the US Borrower may revoke
any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term CORRA Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have
converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Canadian Prime Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
3.04
Increased Costs.
(a)
Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i)
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except the requirements
of the Bank of England and the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank reflected in the Mandatory Cost) or any L/C Issuer;
(ii)
subject any Recipient to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation
in a Letter of Credit or any Term SOFR Loan, Alternative Currency Loan or Term CORRA Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation
of payments to such Lender or such L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and
the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer);
(iii)
result in the failure of the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, to represent the cost to any US Lender of complying
with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to its making,
funding or maintaining Alternative Currency Loans;
(iv)
impose on any US Lender or any L/C Issuer or the applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting
this Agreement or Term SOFR Loans or Alternative Currency Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein which
such Lender or L/C Issuer in good faith deems material; or
(v)
impose on the Canadian Lender or the Canadian commercial banking market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this
Agreement, any Term CORRA Rate Loan or any Canadian Letter of Credit which the Canadian Lender in good faith deems material;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to
increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make
any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or such L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit
(or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit) or to increase the cost to the Canadian Lender of
issuing or maintaining any Canadian Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to issue any Canadian Letter of Credit), or to
reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any
other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, the US Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional
costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)
Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or
such L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding
capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s
capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement,
the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender,
or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s
or such L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s
or such L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to
capital adequacy), then from time to time the US Borrower will pay to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s holding company
for any such reduction suffered.
(c)
Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary
to compensate such Lender or such L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section, describing the basis therefor and showing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, and delivered to the US Borrower shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. The US Borrower or the applicable Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, shall pay such Lender or
such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d)
Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s right to demand
such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or an L/C Issuer pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender
or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the US Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
and of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e)
[Reserved].
(f)
Requirements Specific to a Lender or L/C Issuer. Notwithstanding any provision in subsections (a) and (b) of this
Section 3.04 to the contrary, this Section shall not impose any payment obligation upon any Borrower if the increase in the
cost to or the reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer making a claim for
compensation under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 3.04 resulted not from the general application of an introduction
of or a change in or in the interpretation of a Law, but instead resulted from specific requirements or directives imposed by a Governmental
Authority only upon the Lender or the applicable L/C Issuer making a claim for compensation under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 3.04.
3.05
Compensation for Losses.
(a)
US Lenders. Upon demand of any US Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the US Borrower
shall promptly compensate such US Lender for and hold such US Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result
of:
(i)
any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Committed Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than
the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(ii)
any failure by the US Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such US Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow,
continue or convert any Committed Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the US Borrower;
(iii)
any failure by the US Borrower to make payment of any Committed Loan or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest
due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency; or
(iv)
any assignment of a Term SOFR Loan or an Alternative Currency Term Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest
Period therefor as a result of a request by the US Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;
including any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign
exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from
fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The
US Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such US Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the
US Borrower to the US A-2 Lenders under this subsection (a), each US A-2 Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Alternative Currency
Term Rate Loan made by it at the Alternative Currency Term Rate for such Committed Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the
offshore interbank market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Alternative Currency
Term Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
(b)
Canadian Lender. Upon demand of the Canadian Lender from time to time, the Canadian Borrowers shall promptly compensate
the Canadian Lender for and hold the Canadian Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(i)
any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Canadian Loan other than a Canadian Prime Rate Loan on a day
other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(ii)
any failure by a Canadian Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of the Canadian Lender to make a Loan) to prepay,
borrow, continue or convert any Canadian Loan other than a Canadian Prime Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the US Borrower;
or
(iii)
any assignment of a Term CORRA Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of
a request by the US Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;
including any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign
exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from
fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Canadian Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative
fees charged by the Canadian Lender in connection with the foregoing.
(c)
Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate
such Lender, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, describing the basis therefor and showing the calculation thereof
in reasonable detail, and delivered to the applicable Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
3.06
Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)
Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any Credit Extension to the any Borrower through
any Lending Office, provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay the Credit Extension
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or requires any Borrower
to pay any additional amounts to any Lender, any L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any L/C Issuer
pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then at the request of the
applicable Borrower such Lender or such L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office
for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates,
if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as applicable, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate
or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need
for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or such
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or such
L/C Issuer, as the case may be. The US Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or any L/C
Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)
Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, if a Borrower is required
to pay any additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
or if any Lender is subject to illegality under Section 3.02, and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to
designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the US Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance
with Section 10.13.
3.07
Relevant Rate Replacement.
(a)
Replacement of SOFR or SOFR Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan
Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the US Borrower
or the Required US Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required US Lenders, a copy to the US Borrowers)
that the US Borrower or the Required US Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(i)
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR,
including, without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances
are unlikely to be temporary; or
(ii)
the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month, three month and six month
interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining
the interest rate of Dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease; provided, that, at the time
of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide
such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods
of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Term SOFR Scheduled Unavailability
Date”);
then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative
Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on
the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to Section 3.07(a)(ii) above,
no later than the Term SOFR Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily
Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative
Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(the “Term SOFR Successor Rate”). If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest
payments will be payable on a quarterly basis.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i)
if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii)
if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 3.07(a)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Term
SOFR Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the US Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for
the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 3.07(a) at the end of any
Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark
rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated
and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to
such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated
and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on
an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically
updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Term SOFR Successor Rate”.
Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall
have posted such proposed amendment to all US Lenders and the US Borrower unless, prior to such time, US Lenders comprising the Required
US Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required US Lenders object to such amendment.
For purposes of this Section 3.07(a), those
US Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, the relevant Committed Loans in Dollars
shall be excluded from any determination of Required US Lenders.
(b)
Replacement of Relevant Rate or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the US Borrower
or Required US A-2 Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required US A-2 Lenders, a copy to the US Borrower)
that the US Borrower or Required US A-2 Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(i)
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Relevant Rate (other than Term SOFR) for an Agreed Currency (other
than Dollars) because none of the tenors of such Relevant Rate (other than SOFR) under this Agreement is available or published on a current
basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(ii)
the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which all tenors of the Relevant Rate (other
than Term SOFR) for an Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) under this Agreement shall or will no longer be representative or made available,
or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of syndicated loans denominated in such Agreed Currency (other than Dollars),
or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, in each case, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that
is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such representative tenor(s) of the Relevant Rate (other than
Term SOFR) for such Agreed Currency (other than Dollars) (the latest date on which all tenors of the Relevant Rate for such Agreed Currency
(other than Dollars) under this Agreement are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled
Unavailability Date”);
or if the events or circumstances of the type described
in Section 3.07(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then, the Administrative
Agent and the US Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Relevant Rate for an Agreed Currency or any
then current Successor Rate for an Agreed Currency in accordance with this Section 3.07(b) with an alternative benchmark rate giving
due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States
and denominated in such Agreed Currency for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments
to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented
in the United States and denominated in such Agreed Currency for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment
shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and
may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Non-SOFR
Successor Rate”, and collectively with the Term SOFR Successor Rate, each a “Successor Rate”), and any such
amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted
such proposed amendment to all US A-2 Lenders and the US Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required US A-2 Lenders
have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required US A-2 Lenders object to such amendment.
For the purposes of this Section 3.07(b), those
US A-2 Lenders that either have not made, or do not have an obligation under this Agreement to make, the relevant Committed Loans A-2
in the relevant Alternative Currency shall be excluded from any determination of Required US A-2 Lenders.
(c)
Successor Rate. The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the US Borrower and each US Lender
of the implementation of any Successor Rate. Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided,
that, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall
be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any
time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
In connection with the implementation of a Successor
Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action
or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative
Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the US Borrower and the US Lenders reasonably promptly after
such amendment becomes effective.
(d)
Replacement of Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate or Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Lender determines (which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the US Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent or the Canadian Lender that the US Borrower
has determined that:
(a)
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate because none of the tenors of the
Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate under this Agreement is available or published on a current basis, and such circumstances are unlikely
to be temporary; or
(b)
the Applicable Authority or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Lender
or the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which Term CORRA shall no longer be made available,
or used for determining the interest rate of loans denominated in Canadian Dollars; provided, that, at the time of such
statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Canadian Lender that will continue to provide Term CORRA after
such specific date (such specific date, the “Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate Scheduled Unavailability Date”);
(c)
the Applicable Authority or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such the Applicable Authority has made a public statement
announcing that all Interest Periods and other tenors of Term CORRA are no longer representative; or
(d)
syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section 3.07, are
being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace Term CORRA;
then reasonably promptly after such determination by
the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Lender or receipt of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent, the Canadian Lender
and the US Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate or any then current
Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 3.07(d) with an alternative benchmark rate giving
due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States
and denominated in Canadian Dollars for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments
to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities loaned in the United
States and denominated in Canadian Dollars for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published
on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Lender from time to time in its reasonable discretion
and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Canadian
Lender Term CORRA Rate Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th)
Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to the Canadian Lender and the US Borrower.
The Administrative Agent and the Canadian Lender will
promptly (in one or more notices) notify the US Borrower of the implementation of any Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate Successor Rate.
Any Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided, that,
to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Lender, such Canadian
Lender Term CORRA Rate Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and
the Canadian Lender. Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate Successor Rate as so determined
would otherwise be less than zero, the Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
In connection with the implementation of a Canadian
Lender Term CORRA Rate Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent and the Canadian Lender will have the right to make Canadian Lender Term
CORRA Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any
amendments implementing such Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent
of any other party to this Agreement; provided, that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent
shall provide each such amendment implementing such Canadian Lender Term CORRA Rate Conforming Changes to the Canadian Lender and the
US Borrower reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
3.08
Survival. All of each Borrower’s obligations
under this Article III (other than each Borrower’s obligations under Section 3.01) shall survive the termination
of the Aggregate Commitments A-1, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments A-2, the termination of the Canadian Commitment, the repayment
of all other Obligations hereunder and the termination of this Agreement. Each party’s obligations (including each Borrower’s
obligations) under Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights
by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the termination of the Aggregate Commitments A-1, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments
A-2, the termination of the Canadian Commitment, the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.

and other liabilities, direct or contingent, of the US Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the date of such financial statements,
not otherwise reflected in the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Section 6.01(a), including liabilities for taxes, material
commitments and Indebtedness.
(c)
Since the date of the Audited Financial Statements, there has been no event or circumstance, either individually or in the

in Schedules 5.06, 5.09 and 5.12).
5.06
Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings,
claims or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of the US Borrower after due and diligent investigation, threatened, at law, in equity,

be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto has been determined by the IRS to be exempt from federal

the loss of, such tax-qualified status.

Document (in each case, taken as a whole and as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished, including information available
to the Lenders on the US Borrower’s website for which the Lenders have received electronic notice) contains any material misstatement
of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they

the US Borrower represents only that such projected financial information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to

in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings

of their respective businesses, without conflict with the rights of any other Person, except where the failure to own or possess the right
to use such IP Rights could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best knowledge of the US Borrower, no
slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be

amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit and Canadian Letters of Credit pursuant to clause
Fourth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit and Canadian Letters of Credit as they occur. If
any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit and Canadian Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn
or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. Excluded Swap Obligations
with respect to any Loan Party shall not be paid with amounts received from such Loan Party or such Loan Party’s assets, but appropriate
adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth

to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged
and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article IX for itself and its Affiliates as if
a “Lender” party hereto.

of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents
(or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended
to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral
agent” under the Loan Documents and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as potential Hedge Bank, potential Cash Management
Bank, a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), party to any Swap Contract and party to any Cash Management Agreement) and the L/C
Issuers hereby irrevocably appoint and authorize the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuers for purposes
of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental
thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as “collateral agent”, and any co-agents, sub-agents
and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien
on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder
at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article
X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent”
under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
Each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each L/C Issuer
(a) authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into, and accept and agree to, a joinder to the Loss Sharing Agreement that is executed
by any Person that becomes a US Lender, and (b) agrees that any Person that becomes a US Lender and executes and delivers to the Administrative
Agent a joinder to the Loss Sharing Agreement shall be a party to and subject to the Loss Sharing Agreement as if an original signatory
to the Loss Sharing Agreement.
9.02
Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as
the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise
the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its
individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor
or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the US Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or to provide
notice to or consent of the Lenders with respect thereto.
9.03
Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative
Agent, the Sustainability Coordinators or the Arrangers, as applicable, shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly
set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and their respective duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be administrative
in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Coordinators or the Arrangers,
as applicable, and their respective Related Parties:
(a)
shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)
shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights
and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed
in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in
the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion
or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable
Laws; including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that
may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(c)
shall not have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, to any Lender
or any L/C Issuer any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition
or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to, or in the possession of, the Administrative
Agent, any Sustainability Coordinator, any Arranger or any of their Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other
documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of their respective
Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall
be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. Any such action taken or
failure to act pursuant to the foregoing shall be binding on all Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the US Borrower, a Canadian
Borrower, a Lender or an L/C Issuer.
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related
Parties shall have any duty or obligation to any Lender or participant or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement,
warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the
validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or
document, or the creation, perfection, or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the
sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other
than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
9.04
Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any
notice, request, certificate, communication, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated
by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to
have been made by the proper Person, and shall be fully protected in relying and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In
determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter
of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume
that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the
contrary from such Lender or such L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of such
Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants
and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any
such counsel, accountants or experts. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01,
each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document
or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Third Restatement Date specifying its objections.
9.05
Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent
may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any
one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all
of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article
shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their
respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that
a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence
or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
9.06
Resignation of Administrative Agent.
(a)
The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the US Borrower.
Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, with the consent of the US Borrower (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor,
which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States, or of any State thereof having a combined capital and
surplus of at least $500,000,000. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed
by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications
set forth above, provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor
has been appointed, such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)
If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the
Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the US Borrower and such Person remove such Person
as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the US Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required
Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)
With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in
the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers under any of the Loan
Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative
Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be
made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuers directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative
Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder,
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative
Agent (other than as provided in Section 3.07 and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring
or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or
removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if
not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the US Borrower to a successor Administrative
Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the US Borrower and such successor. After
the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions
of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its
sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring
or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them
continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (A) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding
any collateral security on behalf of any of the holders of the Obligations and (B) in respect of any actions taken in connection with
transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.
(d)
Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation
as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. If Bank of America resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an
L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk
participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.04(c). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain
all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective
date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding
Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(c). Upon the appointment by the US Borrower of a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender
hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (i) such successor shall succeed to and become
vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, (ii) the
retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any,
outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations
of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.
9.07
Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Sustainability Coordinators, Arrangers and Other Lenders.
Each Lender and each L/C Issuer expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, any Sustainability Coordinator nor any Arranger
has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent, any Sustainability Coordinator or any Arranger
hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate
thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent, any Sustainability Coordinator or any
Arranger to any Lender or any L/C Issuer as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent, any Sustainability Coordinator
or any Arranger have disclosed material information in their (or their Related Parties’) possession. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer
represents to the Administrative Agent, each Sustainability Coordinator and each Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent, any Sustainability Coordinator, any Arranger, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into,
the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries,
and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter
into this Agreement and to extend credit to the US Borrower and Canadian Borrowers, if applicable, hereunder. Each Lender and each L/C
Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Sustainability Coordinator,
any Arranger, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time
deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon
this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations
as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness
of the Loan Parties. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial
lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this
Agreement as a Lender or an L/C Issuer for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities
set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any
other type of financial instrument, and each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing.
Each Lender and each L/C Issuer represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold
commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, and either
it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other
facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.
9.08
No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of
the bookrunners, arrangers, sustainability coordinators, syndication agents, or documentation agents shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative
Agent, a Sustainability Coordinator, an Arranger, a Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder.
9.09
Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding.
In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed
or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the US Borrower or any
Canadian Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)
to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C
Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel
and all other amounts due the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.04(h) and 2.04(i),
2.10 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)
to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator
or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each L/C Issuer to make such payments
to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Lenders and the L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections
2.10 and 10.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize
the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative
Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.
The holders of the Obligations hereby irrevocably authorize
the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting
some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise)
and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at
any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129
of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any
other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative
Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase,
the Obligations owed to the holders thereof shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with
respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest
upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating
the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle
or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized
to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle
or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any
disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders,
irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained
in Section 10.01), and (iii) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire
Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition
vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned
to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations
that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any holder of the Obligations
or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.
9.10
Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Without
limiting the provisions of Section 9.09, each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential Cash Management Bank or
a potential Hedge Bank) and the L/C Issuers irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
(a)
to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the
termination of the Aggregate Commitments A-1, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments A-2, the termination of the Canadian Commitment
and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any
sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) as approved in accordance with Section 10.01;
(b)
to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder
of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(j); and
(c)
to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the US Guaranty, any Canadian Guarantee and the Contribution Agreement
if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder (it being understood and agreed, for the avoidance
of doubt, that no Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents solely because such Guarantor ceases to be
a wholly owned Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, unless (i) in connection with such transaction,
such Guarantor also ceases to be a Subsidiary, or (ii)(A) such transaction and related disposition of Equity Interest of the applicable
Guarantor is for fair market value and a bona fide business purpose (in each case, as determined by the US Borrower in good faith), and
the other Person taking an Equity Interest in such Subsidiary is not an Affiliate of the US Borrower (other than as a result of a Joint
Venture), and (B) the release of any such non-wholly owned Subsidiary pursuant to this clause (ii) shall constitute an Investment by the
US Borrower therein at the date of such release in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such non-wholly
owned Subsidiary attributable to the US Borrower’s Equity Interest therein as reasonably estimated by the US Borrower (and such
release shall only be permitted to the extent such Investment is permitted pursuant to Section 7.02)).
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time,
the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular
types or items of property, or to release any US Guarantor or any Canadian Guarantor from its obligations under the US Guaranty, any Canadian
Guarantee and the Contribution Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.10.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for
or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral,
the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party
in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain
any portion of the Collateral.
The Administrative Agent agrees to release any US Guarantor
or any Canadian Guarantor that ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder from its obligations under the
US Guaranty, the applicable Canadian Guarantee and the Contribution Agreement; provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall
have received all confirmations of authority, if any, requested pursuant to this Section 9.10 with respect to such release, (ii)
at the time of such release, no Default shall exist or would result from such release, and (iii) after giving effect to such release,
the US Borrower shall be in compliance with all of the terms and provisions of Section 6.12 without giving effect to the 30 day
grace period to perform the terms and provisions thereof.
The Administrative Agent agrees to release any Liens
on any Collateral disposed of as expressly permitted by Section 7.05 to any Person other than a Loan Party, and agrees that any
such Collateral so disposed of shall be sold free and clear of the Liens created by the Loan Documents; provided that the Administrative
Agent shall have received all confirmations of authority, if any, requested pursuant to this Section 9.10 with respect to such
release.
9.11
Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. Except as otherwise
expressly set forth herein, no Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank that obtains the benefit of the provisions of Section 8.03, the US
Guaranty, any Canadian Guarantee or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any Collateral Document shall have any right
to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect
of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) (or to notice of or to consent to any amendment, waiver or
modification of the provisions hereof or of the US Guaranty, any Canadian Guarantee or any Collateral Document) other than in its capacity
as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article IX to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory
arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements
except to the extent expressly provided herein and unless the Administrative Agent has received a Secured Party Designation Notice of
such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management
Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory
arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements
upon the termination of the Aggregate Commitments A-1, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments A-2, the termination of the Canadian
Commitment, the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and the termination of this Agreement.
9.12

Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the
date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative
Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the US Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the
following is and will be true:
(i)
such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit
Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters
of Credit, the Canadian Letters of Credit, the Commitments, or this Agreement,

company general accounts), PTE 90–1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts),
PTE 91–38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96–23 (a class exemption
for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation
in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Canadian Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,
(iii)
(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part
VI of PTE 84–14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into,
participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Canadian Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,
(C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Canadian Letters of
Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84–14 and
(D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84–14 are satisfied with respect
to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Canadian
Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
(iv)
such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion,
and such Lender.
(b)
In addition, unless either (1) clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender
has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such
Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date
such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative
Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the US Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent
is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration
of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Canadian Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including
in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any
documents related hereto or thereto).
9.13
Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this
Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender Party, whether or not in respect of
an Obligation due and owing by any Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender
Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount

including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the

a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar
defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender Party promptly upon determining
that any payment made to such Lender Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the US Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach

Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Loan Party shall assert,

Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, Letter of
Credit or Canadian Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the

(b), (x) participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans, and (y) Canadian Letters of Credit) at the time owing to it) and the
other Loan Documents; provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)
Minimum Amounts.
(A)
in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the related Loans
at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments)
that equal at least the amount specified in subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment
to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B)
in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this
purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans
of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as
of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the US Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group
to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for
purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.
(ii)
Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the
assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Loans or the Commitments
assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line
Loans.
(iii)
Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B)
of this Section and, in addition:
(A)
the consent of the US Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate
of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the US Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless
it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B)
the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such
assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;
(C)
the consent of each L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment
that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding);
and
(D)
the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any
assignment of Committed Loans A-1 and US A-1 Commitments.
(iv)
Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that
the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.
The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v)
No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to any Borrower or any of any Borrower’s
Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender
hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), (C) a natural Person (or a holding company,
investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person), or (D) to any Person which has informed
the assignor Lender and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of lending the applicable Alternative Currencies to the applicable
Borrower without the imposition of any additional Indemnified Taxes.
(vi)
Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties
to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution
thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating
actions, including funding, with the consent of the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of
Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably
consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent,
any L/C Issuer or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata
share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under
applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting
Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent
pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee
thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the
rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto)
but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to
facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment provided, that except to the extent otherwise
expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any
party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the applicable Borrower (at its expense)
shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (e) of this Section.
(c)
Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrowers (and
such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption
delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts
(and stated interest) of the Loans, L/C Obligations and Canadian 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, and the Borrowers, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the
Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall
be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)
Effectiveness of Assignments. 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 subsection (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required
by subsection (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 subsection.
(e)
Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the US Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned
and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person), a Defaulting Lender or a Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of a Borrower)
(each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including
all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line
Loans) owing to it) and the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each L/C Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall
be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender
sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender
will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso
of Section 10.01(a) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits
of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(e) shall
be delivered to the Lender who sells the participation) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections
3.06 and 10.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater
payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable
participation would have been entitled to receive, unless the participation is made with the US Borrower’s prior written consent.
Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with
the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.06 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant
agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for
this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant
and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan
Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or
any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s
interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent
that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form
under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent
manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation
for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in
its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(f)
Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections
3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.06 and 10.13
as if it were an assignee under this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or
3.04, with respect to any participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled
to receive, unless the participation is made with the US Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign
Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless such Participant complies with Section 3.01(e)
as though it were a Lender.
(g)
Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to
secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of
its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(h)
Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America
may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the US Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’
notice to the US Borrower, resign as the Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender,
the US Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided,
however, that no failure by the US Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as an
L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation
as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed
Loans A-1 or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.04(c)). If Bank of America resigns as the Swing
Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it
and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans
A-1 or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(c). Upon the appointment of a successor
L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters
of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory
to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.
10.07
Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined
below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Related Parties (it being understood that
the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over
such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners),
(c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party
hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective
assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant
to Section 2.16(a)(iii) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or
other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the US Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments
hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or the credit
facilities provided hereunder, (ii) the provider of any Platform or other electronic delivery service used by the Administrative Agent,
any L/C Issuer and/or the Swing Line Lender to deliver Borrower Materials or notices to the Lenders, or (iii) the CUSIP Service Bureau
or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the
credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the US Borrower or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer
or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Borrower or (z) is independently discovered
or developed by a party hereto without utilizing any Information received from a Borrower or violating the terms of this Section 10.07.
In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement
to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the Commitments.
For purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from any Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to any Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective
businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential
basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from any Borrower
or any Subsidiary after the Third Restatement Date, 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 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 of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
L/C Issuers acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning a Borrower or a Subsidiary,
as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it
will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.
The Loan Parties and their Affiliates agree that they
will not in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or
their respective Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent, unless (and only to the extent that) the Loan Parties or such Affiliate is required to do so under law and then, in any event the
Loan Parties or such Affiliate will consult with such Person before issuing such press release or other public disclosure.
The Loan Parties consent to the publication by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender of customary advertising material relating to the transactions contemplated hereby using the name,
product photographs, logo or trademark of the Loan Parties.
10.08
Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time
and from time to time after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Laws, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any
time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or
for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender or such L/C Issuer or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although
such obligations of such Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office or Affiliate of such Lender or such
L/C Issuer different from the branch or office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided,
that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over
immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending
such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in
reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender,
each L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of setoff) that such Lender, such L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify
the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
10.09
Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed
the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (including the Criminal Code (Canada)) (the “Maximum Rate”).
If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall
be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the applicable Borrower. In determining
whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person
may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium
rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread
in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
10.10
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability
Coordinators or the L/C Issuers constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede
any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section
4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative
Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successor and assigns.
10.11
Survival of Representations and Warranties.
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto
or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties
have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge
of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation
hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.
10.12
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement
or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties
shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic
effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting
the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement
relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C
Issuers or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
10.13
Replacement of Lenders. If the US Borrower
is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.06, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting
Lender, then the US Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required
by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01
and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a)
the US Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.06(b);
(b)
such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts
under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the applicable
Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(c)
in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required
to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(d)
such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and
(e)
in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have
consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment
or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the US Borrower to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required
pursuant to this Section 10.13 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the US Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and the assignee and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to
be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided, that, following the effectiveness
of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment
as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender; provided, further, that, any such documents shall be without recourse
to or warranty by the parties thereto.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.13
to the contrary, (A) any Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer or the Canadian Lender may not be replaced hereunder at any time it has
any Letter of Credit or Canadian Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to such Lender (including the
furnishing of a backstop standby letter of credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to such L/C
Issuer or the Canadian Lender or the depositing of Cash Collateral into a Cash Collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements
reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the Canadian Lender) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit or
Canadian Letter of Credit and (B) the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance
with the terms of Section 9.06.

Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and
may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Loan Parties and each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party agrees
that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as

obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed
original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including

the authorization under this paragraph may include use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted
into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission,
delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties may, at its option, create one or more copies of any

ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic
Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity

L/C Issuer nor the Swing Line Lender is under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly
agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, that, (a) to the extent the Administrative
Agent, any L/C Issuer and/or the Swing Line Lender has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of
the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party and/or
any Lender Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, any Electronic
Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.
None of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or
the Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
in connection with the Administrative Agent’s, any L/C Issuer’s or the Swing Line Lender’s reliance on any Electronic
Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer and the Swing
Line Lender shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
by acting upon, any Communication (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution
or signed using an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed
or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being
the maker thereof).
Each of the Loan Parties and each Lender Party hereby
waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and/or any other Loan
Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement and/or such other Loan Document, and (ii) waives any claim

any Electronic Signature.
10.19

USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and each
L/C Issuer that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender
or any L/C Issuer) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify
and record information that identifies the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, which information includes the name and address
of each such Person and other information that will allow such Lender, such L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to
identify such Person in accordance with the Act. The Loan Parties shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent, any
Lender or any L/C Issuer, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer

10.21
Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence

10.22
Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of
obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another
currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could
purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation
of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated
in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the
extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged
to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking
procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than
the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the applicable Borrower in the Agreement Currency, each Borrower
agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case
may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any
excess to the applicable Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Laws).
10.23
Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties,
each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document,
to the extent such liability is unsecured, 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 Lender 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 undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares
or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement
or 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.
10.24
Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee
or otherwise, for any Swap Contract 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.
