Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On September 27, 2024, MercadoLibre, Inc. (the
“Company”), as borrower, entered into a $400,000,0000 amended and restated revolving credit agreement (the “Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”), Citibank, N.A. as administrative agent
(the “Administrative Agent”) and MercadoLibre S.R.L., Ebazar.com.br Ltda., Mercado Pago Instituição de Pagamento
Ltda., DeRemate.com de Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V., MP Agregador, S. de R.L. de C.V., MercadoLibre Chile Ltda., and MercadoLibre Colombia
Ltda. as initial guarantors (collectively, the “Initial Guarantors”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and
restates the $400,000,000 revolving credit agreement dated as of March 31, 2022 (the “Credit Agreement”).
The Company’s obligations under the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Initial Guarantors. Additional guarantors may be added and existing guarantors may
be removed, as specified in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, provided that no Initial Guarantor may be excluded if excluding
such Initial Guarantor would result in the aggregate revenues of all guarantors representing less than 75% of the revenues of the Company.
The interest rates under the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement are based on Term SOFR (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) plus an interest margin of 1.00% per
annum, which may be decreased to 0.90% per annum or increased to 1.15% per annum depending on the Company’s debt rating, as further
provided under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Any loans drawn from the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement must be repaid
on or prior to September 27, 2028, which will be automatically extended to September 27, 2029 upon satisfaction, on or prior to August
28, 2027, of the Maturity Extension Conditions (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), as further provided in the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains
customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including covenants that limit (subject to certain exceptions)
the ability of Company and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, change the business of the Company or the guarantors, merge
or dispose of assets, grant liens or enter into any sale or lease-back transactions. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also requires
the Company to maintain a minimum of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $600,000,000.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also
provides for customary events of default, including, without limitation, nonpayment, material misrepresentation, breach of covenants,
insolvency, bankruptcy, certain judgments, change of control and cross-events of default on material indebtedness, each of which are defined
in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
This description of the Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement, and the guarantees provided thereunder, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

and conditions of this Agreement.
(b)
Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $50,000,000 or in integral multiples of $10,000,000 in excess thereof
(or, if less, the aggregate amount of the unused Commitments) and shall consist of Loans made on the same day by the Lenders ratably
in accordance with their respective Commitments. There shall not at any time be more than a total of eight (8) Loans outstanding
(it being understood that all Loans made to the Borrower on the same day shall be counted as one Loan for purposes of this Section
2.01(b)).
(c) The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans for the purposes set forth in the preliminary statement to this Agreement,
provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall have any responsibility as to the use of any of such
proceeds.

Without limiting the last sentence of Section 9.06(d), not later than three (3) Business Days after any change to
the Register, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the updated Register to the Borrower
reflecting such change.

of the Lenders the full principal amount of the outstanding Loans on the Maturity Date.
Section 2.03.
Payment of Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan, for the
period from and including the Borrowing Date of such Loan to but not including the date of repayment of the principal of such Loan
in full, at a rate per annum for each Interest Period in respect of each such Loan for such Interest Period equal to
Term SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)
Notwithstanding clause (a) hereof, during any period when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower
agrees to pay interest on the overdue principal amount of each Loan and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder at
a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of any principal of any Loan, the interest rate then in effect for such Loan
plus 2% per annum for the balance of the then current Interest Period and thereafter Term SOFR for each Interest Period
plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% per annum and (ii) in the case of any other amount, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, Term SOFR for each Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% per annum.

(i) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to ABR, the Term SOFR Reference
Rate, or Term SOFR, or any component of the definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative
successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics
of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the
same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or
any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming
Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation
of ABR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement

in each case, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person
or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs,
losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any

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 or any other Loan Document. The Lenders agree that any such Conforming Changes
as may be instructed to be made by the Majority Lenders will not result in a recognition event for the Borrower under Section 1001
of the Code; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to determine or inquire whether
any such event has occurred.
Section 2.04.
Promissory Notes. On or prior to each Borrowing Date, the Borrower will execute and deliver to each Lender a single
promissory note (pagaré) of the Borrower dated the applicable Borrowing Date evidencing such Lender’s Loan,

Notes”), payable to such Lender and in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Loan. Any such Promissory Note
shall be made available at the Corporate Office or delivered to a Custodian for the benefit of, and at the request of, the applicable
Lender, at such Lender’s election, and if the applicable Lender shall assume full liability and provide customary indemnification

each Lender, in exchange for the Promissory Note evidencing such Loan theretofore delivered to such Lender pursuant to this Section
2.04, a new Promissory Note in substantially the form of Exhibit A payable to such Lender, dated the applicable Borrowing
Date, in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Promissory Note and otherwise duly completed. After the effectiveness

shall execute and deliver to the applicable Assignee, in exchange for the Promissory Notes evidencing the Loans so assigned theretofore
delivered to the assigning Lender pursuant to this Section 2.04, new Promissory Notes in substantially the form of Exhibit
A payable to such Assignee, dated the applicable Borrowing Dates, provided that each Promissory Note shall be in a principal
amount equal to the principal amount of each Loan so assigned and otherwise duly completed (or, alternatively, in the case of an
assignment covering all or the remaining portion of the assigning Lender’s Loans, the assigning Lender may endorse such original
Promissory Notes in favor of such Assignee). In the case of an assignment whereby the assigning Lender retains a portion of its
Loans, the Borrower shall also promptly (but in any event within fifteen (15) days of the effectiveness of such assignment) execute
and deliver to such assigning Lender, in exchange for the Promissory Notes evidencing the Loans remaining after the effectiveness
of such assignment theretofore delivered to the assigning Lender pursuant to this Section 2.04 to the extent such Promissory
Notes were not previously returned to the Borrower, new Promissory Notes in substantially the form of Exhibit A payable
to such assigning Lender, dated the applicable Borrowing Dates, provided that each Promissory Note shall be in a principal amount
equal to the principal amount of each of such assigning Lender’s Loans remaining after the effectiveness of such assignment.
Any and all costs and expenses that arise from this exchange of Promissory Notes shall be borne by the Assignee or the assigning
Lender. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any Promissory Note, the terms of this Agreement shall
prevail. In the case of a prepayment in full of any outstanding Loan to a Lender, such Lender shall (i) within the following fifteen
(15) days, deliver a scanned document evidencing the cancellation of the Promissory Note evidencing such Loan; and (ii) within
thirty (30) days after the full prepayment, return the Promissory Note evidencing such Loan to the Borrower. In the case of a prepayment
in part of any outstanding Loan to a Lender and upon receipt by such Lender of a new Promissory Note dated the applicable Borrowing
Date evidencing the remaining outstanding portion of such Loan, such Lender shall (i) within the following fifteen (15) days, deliver
a scanned document evidencing the cancellation of the Promissory Note evidencing such Loan; and (ii) within thirty (30) days after
the partial prepayment, return the Promissory Note evidencing such Loan to the Borrower.

(b)
The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender a commitment fee at a rate per annum

of the Commitments to zero), payable quarterly in arrears at the end of each calendar quarter (commencing on the calendar quarter
ended September 30, 2024) and on the date of termination or expiration of the Commitments (by the reduction of the Commitments

Partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000
in excess thereof; provided, that any partial prepayment that is a prepayment of the full outstanding principal amount of
the Loans may be in a lesser principal amount.
Section 2.08.
Repayment and Termination of Commitments upon a Change of Control. Promptly following the occurrence of a Change
of Control event (but in any case no later than on the second Business Day thereafter), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent a notice (the “Change of Control Notice”), (i) describing the
circumstances which gave rise to the Change of Control, (ii) indicating date of consummation of the Change of Control, (iii) referring
to this Section 2.08, (iv) containing an offer by the Borrower to (x) prepay the entire outstanding principal amount of
any outstanding Loans, together with accrued unpaid interest on such Loans to the date of prepayment and (y) such Lender’s
Commitments hereunder shall be reduced to zero, which prepayment shall become due and payable, and termination of Commitments will
become effective, eleven (11) Business Days following the date of the Change of Control Notice (the “Change of Control
Payment Date”) (unless waived in writing by each Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(v)), and (v) requesting each
Lender to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (a “Change of Control Waiver
Prepayment Notice”) of its election to reject such offer (each Lender that shall reject such offer in its respective
Change of Control Waiver Prepayment Notice, a “Rejecting Lender”) not
later than ten (10) Business Days following the date of the Change of Control Notice. On the Change of Control Payment Date, (1)
the Borrower shall prepay, without premium or penalty, the portion of the Loans held by each Lender (other than a Rejecting Lender)
together with accrued and unpaid interests on such Loans to, but not including, the date of prepayment and (2) all Commitments
of such Lender hereunder shall be reduced to zero, provided that if any prepayment is made pursuant to this Section 2.08

part ratably any unused portion of the Commitments, without premium or penalty, but subject to any costs that may be owing pursuant
to Section 2.15 after giving effect to such termination or reduction; provided, however, that each partial
reduction shall be in an aggregate amount that is not less than $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of
that amount; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the aggregate Commitments if the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans would exceed the aggregate Commitments.
(c)
A Commitment once terminated may not be reinstated.
Section 2.10.
Inability to Determine Interest Rate. (a) Subject to Section 2.11, if on or prior to the first day of any
Interest Period for any Loan:
(i) the Majority Lenders notify the
Administrative Agent in writing that, and/or the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error) that Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or
(ii) the Majority Lenders determine
that for any reason in connection with any request for a Loan or a continuation thereof that Term SOFR for any requested Interest
Period with respect to a proposed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, and
the Majority Lenders have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,
the Administrative Agent will promptly so
notify the Borrower and each Lender.
(b)
Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Loans,
and any right of the Borrower to continue the Loans or to convert the Loans into ABR Loans shall be superseded (to the extent of
the affected Loans or affected Interest Periods) until the Administrative Agent (at the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes
such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of the Loans (to the extent of the affected Loans or affected Interest Periods) or, failing that, the Borrower will
be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans in the amount specified
therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Loans will be deemed to have been converted into ABR Loans at the end of the applicable
Interest Period. Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with
any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.14. Subject to Section 2.11, if the Administrative Agent determines
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the
definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on ABR Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference
to clause (c) of the definition of ABR until the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) revokes
such determination. For the avoidance of doubt, in order to calculate the applicable interest rate for any ABR Loan, the Applicable
Margin will not be taken into consideration and shall not apply to any ABR Loan.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark
Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then
(x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”
for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under
any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action
or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in
accordance with clause (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark
Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting
at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement
is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any
other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark
Replacement from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders.
(b)
Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation
of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) 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
or any other Loan Document.
(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority
Lenders) will promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to all Lenders) of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement,
(ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark
Replacement, (iii) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.11(d) and (iv) the commencement
of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or,
if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.11, including any determination with respect
to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take
or refrain from taking any action or any selection, (x) in the case of any determination, decision or election by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 2.11, will be made at the written direction of the Majority Lenders, and (y) in the case
of any determination, decision or election by any Lender (or group of Lenders), if applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.11,
may be made in its or their sole discretion, and, in each case, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be
made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except,
in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.11.
(d)
Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document,
at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is
a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or
other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction
of the Majority Lenders, acting reasonably) or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the administrator
of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is
not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the IOSCO Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the
Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders, acting reasonably) may modify the definition of “Interest
Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable,
non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either
(A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is
not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned
with the IOSCO Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative
Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders) may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any
similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor. Any
modification of an “Interest Period” shall be promptly notified to the Borrower (but in no event two (2) Business Days
after such modification has been adopted).
(e) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability
Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or continuation of Loans to be made or continued during
any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request
for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current
Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark,
as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.
(f)
Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be under
any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or verify the unavailability or cessation of Term SOFR (or any other applicable Benchmark),
or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document of, the
occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or matter related to any of the foregoing, (ii) to select, determine or designate
any Benchmark Replacement or Conforming Changes, or any other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions
to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, or (iii) to select, determine or designate any modifier to any replacement
or successor index.
(g)
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties
set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document as a result of the unavailability of Term SOFR (or other applicable Benchmark)
and absence of a designated replacement Benchmark, including as a result of any inability, delay, error or inaccuracy on the part
of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including without limitation the Borrower or the Lenders, in providing
any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
and reasonably required for the performance of such duties.
(h)
The Administrative Agent shall not be bound to follow or agree to any amendment or supplement to this Agreement (including
any Conforming Changes) that would increase or materially change or affect the duties, obligations or liabilities of the Administrative
Agent (including the opposition or expansion of discretionary authority), or reduce, eliminate, limit or otherwise change any right,
privilege or protection of the Administrative Agent, or would otherwise materially and adversely affect the Administrative Agent,
in each case in its sole judgment, without the Administrative Agent’s express written consent.
Section 2.12.
Pro Rata Treatment; Payments. (a) Each Borrowing of the Loans shall be made pro rata according
to the Commitments of the Lenders; and each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and
interest on the Loans and the fees set forth in Section 2.05(b) shall be made pro rata according to the respective
outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders, except for payments or prepayments to any Lender in connection
with a claim under Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16.
(b)
All payments (including prepayments) of principal of and interest on a Loan and the fees set forth in Section 2.05,
and all other amounts payable under this Agreement shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction,
set-off or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent’s Account (or such other account as the Administrative Agent may specify)
not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such
time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall
continue to accrue).
(c)
The Borrower shall, subject to the pro rata requirements of this Section 2.12, at the time of making each
payment hereunder for the account of any Lender, specify to the Administrative Agent (which shall notify the intended recipient(s)
thereof) the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that the Borrower
fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment
to the Lenders for application in such manner as the Majority Lenders, subject to the pro rata requirements of this Section
2.12, determine to be appropriate). The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt
in Dollars.
(d)
Each payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement for account of any Lender shall be paid by the Administrative
Agent promptly to such Lender, in Dollars, for account of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office.
(e)
If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of
principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and payable hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay
any amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, (ii) second, to pay interest then
due and payable hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest then due and payable
to such parties, (iii) third, to pay fees then due and payable hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of fees then due and payable to such parties, (iv) fourth, to pay principal then due and payable
hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due and payable to such
parties, and (v) fifth, to pay other amounts then due and payable hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto
in accordance with the amounts of such other amounts then due and payable to such parties.
(f)
Except as otherwise specified herein, if any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day,
such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (unless the result of such extension would be to extend such
payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day), and
interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.
(g)
Interest and commitment fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable.
(h)
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender (the “Payor”) prior
to the date on which the Payor is to make a payment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender
hereunder (any such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”) that such Lender will not make the Required
Payment (which such notice or absence thereof will in no way release a Lender from its obligations hereunder if it is otherwise
obligated hereunder), the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that the Payor is making the Required
Payment available to the Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on such date, the Payor shall pay
to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the rate specified by the Administrative
Agent as its cost of funding such amount for the period until such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate
of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Payor with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.12(h) shall be
conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
(i) The failure of any Lender to make a Loan to be made by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation
to make a Loan under this Agreement, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan hereunder.
Section 2.13.
Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date hereof the adoption of or any change in
any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by a competent Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful
for any Lender to make or maintain any of its Loans as contemplated by this Agreement and the Promissory Notes, such Lender shall
give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower describing in reasonable detail the relevant provisions of such
Requirement of Law, following which (a) the Commitment of such Lender shall forthwith be suspended until such Lender notifies
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (b) if such Requirement
of Law shall so mandate, such Lender’s Loans then outstanding shall be prepaid by the Borrower on or before the fifth Business
Day after the date of receipt by the Borrower of such notice, together with all accrued and unpaid interest to the prepayment date
on the amount prepaid and any amounts applicable to such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.16 (unless actions taken
pursuant to Section 2.17 shall make such prepayment unnecessary); provided, however, that if it is lawful for
such Lender to maintain its Loans through the last day of the applicable Interest Period, such payment shall be made on such date.
Section 2.14.
Increased Costs. (a) If after the date hereof the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the generally
applicable interpretation or application thereof by a competent Governmental Authority or compliance by any Lender with any request
or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other competent Governmental Authority made subsequent
to the date hereof and on or prior to the Maturity Date (a “Change in Law”) (i) shall subject any Lender
to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Promissory Note or other Loan Document or any Loan made by
it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for (x) (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes
described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes and (y) changes in the
rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office), (ii) shall impose, modify or hold
applicable any reserve, special deposit, contribution, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits
or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds
by, the Applicable Lending Office of such Lender, or (iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition, cost or expense
(other than Taxes), and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender
reasonably deems, acting in good faith, to be material, of making or maintaining its Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder
in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall upon the request of such Lender pay such Lender, on the last day
of the Interest Period in which such Lender makes a request, such additional amounts as are necessary to compensate such Lender
for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection
therewith are deemed to have been introduced or adopted after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted or adopted and shall
constitute a Change in Law and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements,
the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities,
in each case pursuant to “Basel III,” are deemed to have been introduced or adopted after the date hereof, regardless
of the date enacted or adopted and shall constitute a Change in Law.
(b)
If any Lender shall have determined that a Change in Law has occurred regarding capital or liquidity adequacy that would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital or the liquidity of such Lender or of any corporation controlling such
Lender as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or its Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with
respect to capital or liquidity adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender, acting in good faith, to be material,
then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender on the last day of the Interest Period in which it makes a request for compensation
such additional amounts as are necessary to compensate such Lender for such reduction.
(c)
Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any such Change in Law that will entitle such
Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14. Before giving any such notice to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this subsection (c), such Lender shall take all actions required by Section 2.15. A certificate
of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 2.14, setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid
to it hereunder and providing reasonable detail as to the assumptions used by such Lender in determining such amounts (and solely
in the case of a demand for payment pursuant to a Change in Law described in the last paragraph on Section 2.14(a), a statement
as to the general policy of such Lender to request compensation in such circumstances) and the basis on which such amounts were
calculated shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof in the absence of manifest error.
(d)
The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.14 shall survive for a period of one year after
the termination of this Agreement and the Promissory Notes and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable under the
Loan Documents.
Section 2.15.
Taxes.
(a) For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(b)
All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction
or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an
applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then
the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and timely pay the full amount deducted
or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then
the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding of such
Indemnified Taxes has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
2.15) the applicable Lender (or, in the case of payments made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative
Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes been made.
(c) The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law or, at the option
of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of Other Taxes.
(d)
The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full
amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section 2.15) paid or payable by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient
and any reasonable and documented 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. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on
its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, no Loan Party shall
be required to pay any amount under this Section 2.15(d) with respect to Other Taxes paid or reimbursed by a Loan Party
pursuant to Section 2.15(c).
(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified
Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent
for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s
failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.06(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii)
any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection
with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly
or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise
payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under
this paragraph (e).
(f)
As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section
2.15, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Majority Lenders).
(g)
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under
any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition,
any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed
by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other
than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (g)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section) 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: (A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to
the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request
of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two copies of executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S.
federal backup withholding tax:
(B) any Foreign Lender, if it is legally
eligible to do so, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter as required by law or upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (a) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the
benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan
Document, two copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction
of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any
other applicable payments under any Loan Document, two copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable,
establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or
“other income” article of such tax treaty; (b) two copies of executed IRS Form W-8ECI; (c) in the case of a Foreign
Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) two certificates substantially
in the form of Exhibit C-1 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 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 that
no payments under any Loan Documents are effectively connected with the Foreign Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business
(a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two copies of executed IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN, as
applicable; or (d) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a
partnership or a participating Lender), two copies of executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E
or IRS Form W-8BEN, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit
C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the
Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender
are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially
in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s);
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the
extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall
be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and
from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), copies of any other executed
form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed,
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time
or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including
as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under
FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA, and to determine the amount
to deduct and withhold, if any, from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any
amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any documentation
it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such documentation or
promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.
Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative
Agent to deliver to the Borrower and to any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by the Lender to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 2.15(g). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.15, a Lender shall
not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 2.15(g) that such Lender is not legally eligible to
deliver.
(h)
If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, as applicable, shall repay to
such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed
by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to
pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h), the payment of which would place the indemnified party
in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification
and giving rise 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 paragraph (h) shall not be construed to require any Lender or the Administrative
Agent to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying
party or any other Person.
(i)
Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative
Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 2.16.
Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and to hold each
Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, harmless from any loss or documented expense which is in the nature of funding
breakage costs or costs of redeployment of funds (but excluding loss of margin), upon reasonable notice thereof, which such Lender
may sustain or Incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making the Borrowing on the relevant Borrowing Date
after it has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower
in making any prepayment after it has given notice thereof in accordance with this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment
of any Loan on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period or (d) default by the Borrower in payment when due of
the principal of or interest on any Loan; provided that in the case of subsections (a), (b) and (c) hereof such
Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate reasonably detailing the
amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof in the absence of manifest
error. The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of the Promissory Notes and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents and the resignation or removal of
the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 2.15 shall apply with respect to Taxes.
Section 2.17.
Change of Applicable Lending Office; Assignment; Filings. Each Lender agrees that if it makes any demand for payment
under Section 2.14 or 2.15 (a) at the request of the Borrower, it will use reasonable efforts so long as such efforts
would not be disadvantageous to it, as determined in its sole discretion, to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if
the making of such a designation would reduce or eliminate the need for the Borrower to make payments under Section 2.14
or 2.15, or would eliminate or reduce the effect of any adoption or change described in Section 2.13; (b) at the
request of the Borrower, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with paragraph
(a) of this Section 2.17 or such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Lender will assign, pursuant to Section 9.06,
its Loans to one or more Assignees designated by the Borrower (which shall not include Affiliates of such Lender or any Person
who may not be a permitted Assignee pursuant to Section 9.06(c)), provided that such Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable,
receives payment of an amount on the date of such assignment equal to the amount that would be payable to such assigning Lender
or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, if such assignment were a prepayment in full of the Loans of such Lender or Defaulting Lender,

Person unless (1) either (A) the Borrower is the Surviving Entity; or (B) the Person (if other than the Borrower) formed by such
consolidation or the Surviving Entity: (i) is a corporation or company organized or incorporated and validly existing under the
laws of the United States of America, any State thereof of the District of Columbia, and (ii) expressly assumes the due and punctual
payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on all of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and
the performance and observance of the covenants contained herein; (2) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to
such transaction, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (3) if the surviving entity or continuing Person

certificate and legal opinion, each stating that the consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other
disposition contained herein have been satisfied.
(b)
For purposes of this clause, the transfer (by lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of
transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Borrower, the Capital
Stock of which constitutes all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower (determined on a consolidated
basis for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), will be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and
assets of the Borrower.
(c)
The provisions of clause (b) above will not apply to any merger or consolidation of the Borrower into an Affiliate of the
Borrower, incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Borrower in another jurisdiction so long as the Indebtedness
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole is not increased thereby;
(d)
No Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into any Person, or sell, convey, transfer or dispose of, all or substantially
all of its assets as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to any
Person, or permit any Person to merge with or into the Guarantor unless (i) the other Person is the Borrower or any Subsidiary
that is a Guarantor or becomes a Guarantor concurrently with the transaction, (ii) (1) either (x) the Guarantor is the continuing
Person or (y) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person expressly assumes all of the obligations of the Guarantor under its
Guaranty, and (2) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default has occurred and is continuing; or (iii) the transaction

(e)
The foregoing clauses of this Section 5.09 shall not apply to (i) any transfer of assets by the Borrower to any Subsidiary,

Upon any consolidation, combination or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with this Section 5.09, in which the Borrower is not the continuing Person,
the Surviving Entity formed by such consolidation or into which the Borrower is merged or to which such conveyance, lease or transfer
is made will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Borrower under this Agreement with
the same effect as if such Surviving Entity had been named as such and the Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under
this Agreement, and from time to time such entity may exercise each and every right and power of the Borrower under this Agreement,
in the name of the Borrower, or in its own name; and any act or proceeding by any provision of this Agreement, in the name of the
Borrower or in its own name; and any act or proceeding by any provision of this Agreement required or permitted to be done by the
Board of Directors or any officer of the Borrower may be done with like force and effect by the like board of directors or officer
of any entity that shall at the time be the successor of the Borrower hereunder. In the event of any such sale or conveyance, the
Borrower (or any successor entity which shall theretofore have become such in the manner described in this Section 5.09)
shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Agreement and may thereupon be dissolved and liquidated. For
the avoidance of doubt, compliance with this Section 5.09 will not affect the obligations of the Borrower (including a Surviving
Entity, if applicable) under any change of control payment provision set forth in any supplemental indenture, if applicable;

Liens. No Loan Party shall create, Incur any Liens of any kind (except for Permitted Liens) against or upon any of

Notes and all other amounts due under this Agreement equally and ratably with such Indebtedness (or, in the event that such Indebtedness
is subordinated in right of payment to the Loans or the Promissory Notes prior to such Indebtedness) with a Lien on the same properties
and assets securing such Indebtedness for so long as such Indebtedness is secured by such Lien. The preceding sentence will not
require the Borrower or any Subsidiary to equally and ratably secure the Loans if the Lien consists of a Permitted Lien.
Section 5.11.
Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the Borrower for general corporate purposes; provided
that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not have any responsibility as to the use of any of such proceeds. None of

Stock. The Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, use, lend, contribute, or otherwise make available the proceeds of the Loans:
(i) in violation of any applicable Anti-Corruption Laws or Anti-Money Laundering Laws; or (ii) to fund any activities or business
(A) of or with any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is a Sanctioned Person or Sanctioned

including any Lender.
Section 5.12.

required under Applicable Law and reasonably acceptable to the Lenders), duly executed by such Additional Guarantor or Additional
Guarantors, as applicable; provided that in the case of each Additional Guarantor or Additional Guarantors, as applicable,
that become a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 5.12, each such Additional Guarantor or Additional Guarantors, as applicable,
shall (x) deliver to the Administrative Agent simultaneously with the Guarantor Joinder Agreement a legal opinion addressed to
the Administrative Agent and each Lender and issued by a counsel to such Additional Guarantor or Additional Guarantors, as applicable,
reasonably acceptable to the Lenders, covering such matters relating to the applicable Guarantor Joinder Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby as the Lenders may reasonably request and (y) deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender,

and such Lender so as to not cause the Administrative Agent or such Lender to be in violation of such rules and regulations. The
execution and delivery of any Guarantor Joinder Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder. The
rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any Additional Guarantor

applicable Borrower or that Subsidiary would be entitled pursuant to Section 5.10 (including any exception to the restrictions
set forth therein) to issue, assume or guarantee Indebtedness secured by a Lien on any such property at least equal in amount
to the Attributable Debt with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, without equally and ratably securing the Loans,
or
(ii) the
Borrower or that Subsidiary shall apply or cause to be applied, in the case of a sale or transfer for cash, an amount equal to
the net proceeds thereof and, in the case of a sale or transfer otherwise than for cash, an amount equal to the fair market value

of any of the Borrower’s Indebtedness ranking at least pari passu with the Loans or Indebtedness of any Subsidiary,
in each case owing to a Person other than the such Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (2) to the acquisition, purchase, construction
or improvement of real property or personal property used or to be used by a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary
course of business.

addition to paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, each Brazilian Guarantor hereby waives any rights to the benefits of ordem arising

Civil y Comercial de la Nacion).
Section
7.04. Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely

7.07. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each of the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby confirms
that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of any Guarantor does not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar
federal or state law to the extent applicable to its Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor will be limited to the maximum
amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor
that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance.

Loan Documents;
(B) the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations (or any portion thereof) under the Loan Documents;
(C) the
release or discharge of the Guarantee by such Guarantor of the Triggering Indebtedness or the repayment of the Triggering Indebtedness,

of an Initial Guarantor terminate pursuant to this provision; or
(D) such
Guarantor becoming an Excluded Subsidiary or ceasing to be a Subsidiary;
provided,
in each case, such transactions are carried out pursuant to and in accordance with all applicable covenants and provisions hereof.

the Administrative Agent.

a Guarantor is not released from its obligations under its Guarantee as provided in this Section 7.08 such Guarantor will
remain liable for the full amounts due under the Loan Documents and for the other obligations of such Guarantor under the Loan
Documents as provided in this Article VII.
Article
VIII
The
Administrative Agent
Section
8.01. Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender hereby appoints Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such rights, powers, authorities and privileges as are specifically delegated
to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof. Each Lender hereby (i) accepts the authorizations, appointments, acknowledgments
and other actions taken by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in accordance with this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and (ii) acknowledges the terms of each of the Loan Documents, and authorizes and instructs the Administrative
Agent to execute and deliver, for the benefit of the Lenders, each of the other Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent
is or intended to be a party (including any amendments, supplements, reaffirmations and modifications to the Loan Documents in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.08, the provisions
of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor
any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary 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 (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 8.05
and the first sentence of Section 8.06 shall include reference to its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates’
officers, directors, employees and agents):
(a) shall
have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it
is a party, and its duties shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent: (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is
continuing, and (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers (including
providing any request, consent, approval, waiver or authorization), 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 Majority
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents);
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of
its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including
for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law or that may effect
a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Bankruptcy Law;
(b) shall
not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents or accuracy of any certificate, report or other document
delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith (including recalculating or determining, confirming or
verifying any calculation or information set forth therein), (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 value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or
document, (v) 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, or (vi) any failure by the Borrower or any other Person
to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder;
(c) shall
not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder and shall not commence an action or
proceeding on behalf of any Lender without obtaining the consent of such Lender thereto; and
(d) shall
not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other
document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or in connection herewith, (i) with the consent or at the request of
the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents
to which the Administrative Agent is a party) or (ii) except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment). In no event shall the Administrative Agent be liable
under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document for indirect, special, incidental, punitive, or consequential
losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if the
Administrative Agent has been advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action. 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 its Affiliates. Each such sub-agent and the Affiliates
of the Administrative Agent and each such sub-agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article VIII
and Section 9.05 (as though such sub-agents were the “Administrative Agent” under the Loan Documents) as
if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. 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 non-appealable judgment that
the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
(e) The
Administrative Agent shall not be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial
or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any Loan Document to which it is a party, or be required
to take any action that is contrary to this Agreement or Applicable Law.
(f) The
Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility
hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Administrative Agent (including but not limited to any act or
provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or
national disturbance or disaster, any act of terrorism, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or facsimile or
other wire or communication facility).
(g) The
authorizations, rights, privileges, protections and benefits given to the Administrative Agent are extended to, and shall be enforceable
by, the Administrative Agent, under any Loan Document to which it is a party. In the event any claim of inconsistency between
this Agreement and the terms of any Loan Document arises with respect to the duties, liabilities and rights of the Administrative
Agent, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
Section
8.02. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any certification, notice, request, consent, statement, instrument, document or other communication
(including any thereof by electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons. In determining compliance
with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have
received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent 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. Whenever reference
is made in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to any discretionary action by consent, designation, specification, requirement
or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or
not to be) suffered or omitted by the Administrative Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment,
expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Administrative
Agent, it is understood that in all cases that the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take
any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such written instruction, advice or concurrence
from the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the
other Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party), in each case as it deems appropriate. The Administrative Agent
shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions given
by the Majority Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.
Section
8.03. Defaults. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default
unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such
notice is a “Notice of Default”.
Section
8.04. Rights as a Lender. If any Person serving as Administrative Agent is or becomes a Lender it shall have the same rights,
and powers hereunder in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were
not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated or unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money
to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
as if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the Person serving as the Administrative Agent (and any such successor)
and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower and said other Persons for services in connection
with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.
Section
8.05. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent, and its Affiliates, officers, directors,
employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 9.05, but without limiting the obligations of the Borrower
under said Section 9.05) ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Lenders (or,
if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever
that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent arising out of or in any way relating to this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions
contemplated hereby (including the costs and expenses that the Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 9.05 or the enforcement
of any of the terms hereto or thereto, provided, that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent
they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified (as finally determined in a non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction).
Section
8.06. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent
has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any
review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent
to any Lender. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead
Arranger or Bookrunner or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis of the Borrower and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other
condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, and all applicable laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and
made its own decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder, and that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or Bookrunner or any other Lender, and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions
in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the Promissory Notes, or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise
transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed
as to the performance or observance by the Borrower of this Agreement, the Promissory Notes or any other document referred to
or provided for herein or to inspect the Property or books of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents and
information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder and notices, reports and other
documents and information provided to the Administrative Agent under Article IV or Section 5.01 or 5.07,
the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower that may come into the possession of the Administrative
Agent or any of its Affiliates.
Section
8.07. Failure to Act. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein or in any Loan Document, the Administrative
Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any Loan Document unless it shall
first be indemnified and/or receive security to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability, cost and expense
that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Section
8.08. Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof
to the Lenders and the Borrower; and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Majority
Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative
Agent with the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that no consent
of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If no successor Administrative
Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after
the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation (the “Resignation Date”) or the Majority
Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent (the “Removal Date”), then the retiring Administrative
Agent may (but shall not be obligated), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Whether or not a successor
has been appointed, such resignation or removal shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Date
or the Removal Date, as applicable. With effect from the Resignation Date or Removal Date, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) except for any indemnity
payments 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 directly, until such time, if any,
as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment
as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed
to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights
to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged
from its duties and obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no removal of the Administrative Agent shall be effective
until all amounts then due and owing to the removed Administrative Agent shall be paid in full. After any retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall continue
in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative
Agent. Any corporation or entity into which the Administrative Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated
or any corporation or entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Administrative Agent shall be
a party, or any corporation or entity succeeding to the business of the Administrative Agent or its corporate trust operations
shall be the successor of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent
is a party without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or thereto or any further act on the part of any
of the parties hereto or thereto, anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section
8.09. The Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners. No Joint Lead Arranger or Bookrunner, in its capacity as lead arranger or
in its capacity as bookrunner, shall have any obligations, duties or liabilities whatsoever under this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, each of the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners, in
its capacity as a Lender hereunder, shall have the same rights, powers and obligations hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise
such rights and powers as though it were not acting as a Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner, and the term “Lenders”
shall, unless the context otherwise indicates or a different legal entity is involved, include each Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner
in its individual capacity. Each Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor
to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or
other business with the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as if it were not acting as the Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner (and
any such successor) and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower and said other Persons for services
in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge
that, pursuant to such activities, each Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner or its Affiliates may receive information regarding
the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower
or such Subsidiary) and acknowledge that each Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner acting as Lender shall be under no obligation
to provide such information to them. In addition, each Joint Lead Arranger and Bookrunner may be engaged in a broad range of transactions
that involve interests that differ from, and may conflict with, those of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and no Joint Lead Arranger
and Bookrunner nor any of their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any such interest by virtue of any advisory agency or
fiduciary relationship or otherwise.
Section
8.10. Erroneous Payment.
(a) If
the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender and
each of their respective successors and assigns, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined
in its reasonable discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds
(as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or
any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such
Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted
or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively,
an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof),
such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated
below in this Section 8.10 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with
respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in
no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion,
specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which
such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent
waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion
thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds
at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry
rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under
this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b) Without
limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (and
each of their respective successors and assigns), agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received
as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or
any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or
in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such
payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent
by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware
was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:
(i) it
acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed
to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has
been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment;
and
(ii) such
Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to
promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described
in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment
or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 8.10(b).
For
the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.10(b) shall
not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.10(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous
Payment has been made.
(c) Each
Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender
under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender under any Loan Document
with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has
demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).
(d) (i)
In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after
demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment
(or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective
behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s
notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties
hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the
“Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such
lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class,
the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus
any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby
(together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement
incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to a Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties
are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Promissory Notes
evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Promissory
Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall
be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent
as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment
and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency
Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and
its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall
each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment,
and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment
Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any
Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(ii)
Subject to Section 9.06 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the
Borrower or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment
Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable
Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall
retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective
behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds
of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by
the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency
Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion
of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender
from time to time.
(e) The
parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that
an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment
(or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment
Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender to the rights and interests
of such Lender, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation
Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment
Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative
Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or
otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided that this Section 8.10 (e) shall
not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date
for), the obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the obligations that would have been
payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt,
immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect
to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for
the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f) To
the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby
waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand,
claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation,
any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g) Each
party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement
of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the
Loan and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
Section
8.11. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. (a) In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy
Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal
of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative
Agent shall have made any demand on any Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise:
(i) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other
obligations of the Loan Parties under any Loan Document that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all
other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(ii) to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.
(b) Any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is
hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent
shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, 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 Section 9.05.
Article
IX
Miscellaneous
Section
9.01. Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be
amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.01. The Majority Lenders may,
or, on behalf of and with the written consent and direction of the Majority Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, from time
to time, (a) enter into with the Borrower written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the Promissory Notes
and other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the Promissory Notes or the other Loan
Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such
terms and conditions as the Majority Lenders or the Administrative Agent (on behalf of and with the written consent and direction
of the Majority Lenders), as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the conditions or requirements of this Agreement
or the Promissory Notes or any other Loan Document or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however,
that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) reduce the amount of principal of any Loan or
reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder, or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or of such
principal or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment or extend the Maturity Date, in
each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of
this Section 9.01 or change the currency for payment or change the definition of Majority Lenders or reduce the percentage
specified in the definitions of “Majority Lenders,” or consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or any Loan Document, in each case without the written consent of all the Lenders,
(iii) terminate the guaranty of any Guarantor, except as expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents, (iv) change Section
2.12(a), 2.12(e) or 9.07 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments or setoffs required
thereby or any other provision in a manner that would alter the pro rata allocation among the Lenders (including the definition
of “Defaulting Lender” herein) without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, or (v) amend,
modify or waive any provision that affects the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation the
provisions of Article VIII or Section 8.05 without the written consent of the then Administrative Agent; provided,
that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the
date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of
any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to
such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require
the consent of such Defaulting Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally
to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of
the Promissory Notes. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their
former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Promissory Notes.

(iii) if
to a Lender, to it at its address (or fax number/email address) set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire;
Notices
and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed
to have been given when received; notices and other communications sent by fax shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except

Any
party hereto may change its address, or e-mail address for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties

communications; provided, further, that any notice or other communication delivered by e-mail to the Administrative
Agent shall include and contain a scanned or imaged attachment (such as .pdf or similar widely used format). Unless the Administrative
Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s
receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available
return e-mail or other written acknowledgment), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall
be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause
(i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided
that, for both clauses (i) and (ii), if such notice, email or other communication is not sent during the normal
business hours of the recipient, such notice, email or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business
on the next business day for the recipient.
(c) The
Borrower hereby agrees that it will provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it
is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including all notices,
requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials (all such communications
being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft
medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an email address designated by the Administrative Agent. In addition,
the Borrower agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in the Loan
Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.
(d) The
Borrower further agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications available to
the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt domain or a substantially similar electronic transmission system that includes
a reasonable mechanism to restrict access to Persons other than the Lenders (the “Platform”). THE PLATFORM
IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY
OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS
IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE
AGENT PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS
AFFILIATES OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (COLLECTIVELY, THE “AGENT
PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING
DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE)
ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWER’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE PLATFORM.
(e) Each
Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the
Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender
agrees (i) to provide to the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication), promptly after the date
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, an e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission
and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
(f) Nothing
herein shall prejudice the right of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication
pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
Section
9.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
Section
9.04. Survival of Representations and Warranties. In addition to those provisions expressly stated to survive herein,
the obligations of the Borrower under Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.05 and the obligations of the Lenders
under Section 8.05, shall survive the repayment of the Loan and the termination of the Commitments and the resignation
or removal of the Administrative Agent. Additionally, all representations and warranties made hereunder shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement and the Promissory Notes and the making of the Loans hereunder.
Section
9.05. Payment of Expenses. Each Loan Party agrees, jointly and severally, to (a) pay or reimburse
the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs
and expenses Incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, delivery and administration
of the Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith, the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and the syndication of the Commitment, including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of (i)
one special New York counsel to the Administrative Agent (and one firm of local counsel or regulatory counsel in each relevant
jurisdiction), and (ii) one special New York, one special Mexican, one special Brazilian, one special Chilean, one special Colombian
and one special Argentine legal counsel to the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners (which amount of fees, disbursement and other
charges related to such counsel to the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners will be limited to any separately agreed caps, (b)
pay or reimburse the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners and the Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
costs and expenses Incurred by it in connection with any amendment, supplement or modification to this Agreement, the Promissory
Notes and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements
and other charges of (i) one special New York counsel to the Administrative Agent (and one firm of local counsel or regulatory
counsel in each relevant jurisdiction), and (ii) one special New York, one special Mexican, one special Brazilian, one special
Chilean, one special Colombian and one special Argentine legal counsel to the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners, (c) pay or
reimburse the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all documented out-of-pocket
expenses Incurred by them (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any legal counsel for each of Lenders, Lead Arrangers
and Bookrunners, taken as a whole, and the Administrative Agent, in each relevant jurisdiction) in connection with the enforcement
or protection of its rights (i) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section
9.05, or (ii) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses Incurred during any workout,
restructuring, amend and extend or negotiations in respect of such Loans, (d) pay, indemnify, and hold each Joint Lead Arranger
and Bookrunner, Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents
harmless from and against any and all recording and filing fees, and (e) pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, each Joint Lead
Arranger and Bookrunner and the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents
harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits and documented out-of-pocket
expenses related thereto (including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of any legal counsel for each
of the Lenders, Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners, taken as a whole, and the Administrative Agent, in each relevant jurisdiction)
but excluding, with regards to the Lenders and the Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners, any special, indirect, exemplary, incidental,
consequential and punitive damages) arising out of or relating to (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan, or the use of
the proceeds therefrom (iii) the syndication activities of the Joint Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners, any actual or proposed use
of the Loans, (iv) any actual or alleged presence or release of hazardous materials on or from any Property owned or operated
by the Borrower, (v) any environmental liability related in any way to the Borrower, or (vi) any actual or prospective Proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not such Proceeding is brought by any Loan Party or its respective equity holders,
Affiliates, creditors or any other third Person and whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing in this clause (e), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”),
provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any such indemnified party with respect to indemnified
liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such party, as the case may be, as finally determined in
a non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The agreements in this Section 9.05 shall survive repayment
of the Promissory Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder and the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent. All
amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable not later than twenty (20) days after written demand therefor. To
the extent that any undertaking in clauses (d) or (e) of this Section 9.05 may be unenforceable because it contravenes
any applicable law or public policy, the Loan Parties shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy
under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of such undertaking.
Section
9.06. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.
(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and
all future permitted holders of the Promissory Notes and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that the Borrower
may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender
and the Administrative Agent.
(b) Any
Lender may in accordance with applicable law at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”)
participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Promissory Note held by such Lender, or any other interest of such
Lender hereunder and under such Lender’s Promissory Note. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest
to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Promissory
Note for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that
if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Promissory Notes are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall
have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted
by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this
Agreement and any Promissory Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it
as a Lender under this Agreement or any Promissory Note, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such
Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 9.07(a)
as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. Any Participant exercising such right of setoff shall promptly provide notice to the
Borrower of such set-off, provided, however that the failure by any Participant to provide such notice to the Borrower
shall not give the Borrower any cause of action or right to damages or any other remedy against such Participant, any Lender or
the Administrative Agent. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13,
2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section
2.15(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(g) shall be delivered by the selling
Lender to the participating Lender)) with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time
to time as if it were a Lender; provided that (A) such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section
2.17 as if it were an Assignee under paragraph (a) of this Section; and (B) no Participant shall be entitled to receive any
greater amount pursuant to any of the aforesaid sections than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect
of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred except
to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired
the applicable participation. Each Lender agrees that any agreement between such Lender and any such Participant in respect of
such participating interests shall not restrict such Lender’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement or modification
to this Agreement except that any such Participant may have the right to consent to any such amendment, supplement or modification
which reduces the amount of any Loan or extends the Maturity Date, or reduces the stated rate of any interest or fee, or extends
the scheduled date of any payment or increases the amount or extends the expiration date of any Commitment or amends, or changes
the currency of payment.
Each
Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register
on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) 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 Commitment, Loan 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 or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section
1.163-5(b)(1) of the proposed 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.
(c) Any
Lender may in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Eligible Assignee all of or any
part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Promissory Notes pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially
in the form of Exhibit G hereto (each, an “Assignment and Acceptance”), executed by such Eligible Assignee
(each, an “Assignee”) and the assigning Lender, the Borrower, if required, and the Administrative Agent, if
required, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acknowledgment and recording in the Register (as defined below); provided,
that (a) no consent of the Borrower shall be required in connection with any assignments (x) to Affiliates of the assigning Lender
or to any other Lender or such Lenders’ Affiliates or (y) at such time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
(b) no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignments to Affiliates of the assigning
Lender or of any other Lender or such Lenders’ Affiliates or to an Approved Fund and (c) in connection with any assignment
to any other Eligible Assignees, the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which consent shall be not reasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required; provided that (A) in the case of any such assignment, the aggregate
principal amount of the portion of the Commitment or Loans so assigned is not less than $5,000,000 and $1,000,000 increments thereof
(or (x) if less, the then outstanding amount of such Loans or (y) such lesser amount as may be agreed by the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent) and (B) in no event, except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall
any Lender assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Disqualified Institution. Any assignment
which does not meet the requirements set forth above shall be null and void. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording,
from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be
a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder
with a Loan or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) such Lender shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance,
be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining
portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a
party hereto). Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to pay
to any Assignee any amounts pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15 in excess of what the Borrower would have been obligated
to pay to the assigning Lender if such Lender had not assigned its rights to the Assignee unless the circumstances giving rise
to such greater amount did not exist at the time of such assignment.
(d) The
Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and address of the Lenders
and the Commitment of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes
of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from
time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Upon
its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee together with payment to the Administrative
Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the
assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), any tax forms, any information required by Section 9.19 and any written consent
to such assignment required by 9.06(c), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly acknowledge such Assignment and Acceptance
and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give recordation
a copy of such executed assignment to the Borrower; provided, that the failure to provide a copy of such assignment shall not
impact the effectiveness of such assignment.
(f) The
Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective
Transferee that has agreed to preserve the confidentiality thereof any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession
concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or such Affiliate
pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or such Affiliate in connection
with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.
(g) For
the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 9.06 concerning assignments
of the Loans and Promissory Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating
security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Promissory Note to any federal reserve bank in accordance
with applicable law.
Section
9.07. Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Subject to Section 8.10, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”)
shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans (other than a payment under Section 2.13, 2.14
or 2.15), or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff,
pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 6.01(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion
that any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lenders’ Loans, or
interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion
of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the
proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral
or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment
or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits
returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(b) In
addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to
the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount
being due and unpaid by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, including under the Promissory Notes (whether at stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise) to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each
case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any
branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Upon exercising such right of setoff, such Lender
shall promptly provide notice to the Borrower of such setoff, provided, however, that the failure by such Lender
to provide such notice to the Borrower shall not give the Borrower any cause of action or right to damages or any other remedy
against such Lender, any other Lender or the Administrative Agent. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
Section
9.08. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate
counterparts (including by fax/email), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative
Agent 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 4.03,
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.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by electronic imaging means (e.g., “pdf”
or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

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

except to the extent to which such tender or recovery shall result in the effective receipt by the Lenders or, as the case may
be, the Administrative Agent of the full amount of Dollars expressed to be payable hereunder, and the Borrower agrees to indemnify
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (as an alternative or additional cause of action) for the amount (if any) by which such

shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due hereunder.

of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, their
stockholders or their affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create
an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
on the one hand, and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that
(a) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder)
are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower,
on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) neither the Administrative Agent nor any
Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect
to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto
(irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower,
its stockholders or its affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly
set forth in the Loan Documents and (ii) the Administrative Agent and each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the
agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and

for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees
that it will not claim that the Administrative Agent or any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or
