agree that the rule of ejusdem generis shall not be applicable to limit any provision. Section titles appear as a matter of convenience
only and shall not affect the interpretation of any Loan Document. All references to (a) laws include all related regulations, interpretations,
supplements, amendments and successor provisions; (b) any document, instrument or agreement include any amendments, waivers and
other modifications, extensions or renewals (to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents); (c) any section means, unless the context
otherwise requires, a section of this Agreement; (d) any exhibits or schedules mean, unless the context otherwise requires, exhibits
and schedules attached hereto, which are hereby incorporated by reference; (e) any Person include successors and assigns; (f) time
of day means time of day in Chicago, Illinois; or (g) discretion of Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender means the sole and absolute
discretion of such Person. All references to Value, Borrowing Base components, Loans, Letters of Credit, Obligations and other amounts
herein shall be denominated in Dollars, unless expressly provided otherwise, and all determinations (including calculations of Borrowing
Base and financial covenants) made from time to time under the Loan Documents shall be made in light of the circumstances existing at
such time. Borrowing Base calculations shall be consistent with historical methods of valuation and calculation, and otherwise satisfactory
to Agent (and not necessarily calculated in accordance with GAAP). Borrowers shall have the burden of establishing any alleged negligence,
misconduct or lack of good faith by Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender under any Loan Documents. No provision of any Loan Documents shall
be construed against any party by reason of such party having, or being deemed to have, drafted the provision. Reference to a Borrower’s
“knowledge” or similar concept means actual knowledge of a Senior Officer, or knowledge that a Senior Officer would have
obtained if he or she had engaged in good faith and diligent performance of his or her duties, including reasonably specific inquiries
of employees or agents and a good faith attempt to ascertain the matter.


 


SECTION 2. CREDIT
FACILITIES


 


2.1. Commitment.


 


2.1.1. Revolver
Loans. Each Lender agrees, severally on a Pro Rata basis up to its Commitment, on the terms set forth herein, to make Revolver Loans
to Borrowers from time to time through the Commitment Termination Date. The Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed as provided herein.
In no event shall Lenders have any obligation to honor a request for a Revolver Loan if Revolver Usage at such time plus the requested
Loan would exceed the Borrowing Base.


 






     29


     


    

 


2.1.2. Use
of Proceeds. The proceeds of Revolver Loans shall be used by Borrowers solely (a) to pay fees and transaction expenses associated
with the closing of this credit facility; (b) to pay Obligations in accordance with this Agreement; and (c) for other lawful
corporate purposes of Borrowers, including working capital. Borrowers shall not, directly or indirectly, use any Letter of Credit or
the proceeds of any Loan, nor use, lend, contribute or otherwise make available any Letter of Credit or proceeds of any Loan to any Subsidiary,
joint venture partner or other Person, (i) to fund any activities of or business with any Person, or in any Designated Jurisdiction,
that, at the time of issuance of the Letter of Credit or funding of the Loan, is the subject of any Sanction; or (ii) in any manner
that would result in a violation of a Sanction by any Person (including any Secured Party or other individual or entity participating
in any transaction); or (iii) for any purpose that would breach the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or similar Law in
any jurisdiction.


 


2.1.3. Termination
of Commitments.


 


(a) The
Commitments shall terminate on the Revolver Termination Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Upon at least
five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the Commitments and this credit
facility. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable. On the Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers shall make
Full Payment of all Obligations.


 


(b) Overadvances.
If Revolver Usage exceeds the Borrowing Base (“Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall immediately be payable
by Borrowers, but all such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits
of the Loan Documents. Any funding or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver of the Event of Default caused thereby.


 


2.2. Protective
Advances. Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, at any time that any condition in Section 6 is not satisfied,
to make Revolver Loans (“Protective Advances”), if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing up
to an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 outstanding at any time, if Agent deems such Loans reasonably necessary to preserve or protect Collateral,
or to enhance the collectability or repayment of Obligations, as long as such Loans do not cause Revolver Usage to exceed the aggregate
Commitments. Lenders shall participate on a Pro Rata basis in Protective Advances outstanding from time to time. Required Lenders may
at any time revoke Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances under clause (a) by written notice to Agent.
Absent such revocation, Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is reasonably necessary shall be conclusive.
No funding of a Protective Advance shall constitute a waiver by Agent or Lenders of any Event of Default relating thereto. No Obligor
shall be a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.


 






     30


     


    

 


2.3. Letter
of Credit Facility.


 


2.3.1. Issuance
of Letters of Credit. Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time until thirty (30) days prior to the Revolver
Termination Date (or until the Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:


 


(a) Each
Borrower acknowledges that Issuing Bank’s willingness to issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon its receipt of an LC Application
with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as Issuing Bank may customarily require
for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless
(i) it receives a LC Application at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each LC Condition
is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender exists, such Lender or Borrowers have entered into arrangements satisfactory to Agent
and Issuing Bank to eliminate any Fronting Exposure associated with such Lender. If, in sufficient time to act, Issuing Bank receives
written notice from Agent or Required Lenders that a LC Condition has not been satisfied, Issuing Bank shall not issue the requested
Letter of Credit. Prior to receipt of any such notice, Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of LC Conditions.


 


(b) Letters
of Credit may be requested by a Borrower to support obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business. Increase, renewal or extension
of a Letter of Credit shall be treated as issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that Issuing Bank may require a new LC Application
in its discretion.


 


(c) Borrowers
assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Letter
of Credit, none of Agent, Issuing Bank or Lenders shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing,
value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality,
quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy,
genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods
is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Letter of Credit or Documents; any deviation
from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach
of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any
messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the
misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control
of Issuing Bank, Agent or any Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. No Indemnitee shall be liable to any
Obligor or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Letter of Credit or LC Documents except as
a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary
whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit.


 






     31


     


    

 


(d) In
connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, Issuing Bank
shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever
form believed by Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Issuing
Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies,
and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by
such experts. Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or LC
Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.


 


2.3.2. Reimbursement;
Participations.


 


(a) If
Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank, on the same day (“Reimbursement
Date”), the amount paid by Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Revolver
Loans from the Reimbursement Date until payment by Borrowers. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank for any payment made
under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid without regard to any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrowers
may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Borrower Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing, Borrowers shall be deemed
to have requested a Borrowing of Revolver Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due Issuing Bank on any Reimbursement Date
and each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists
or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.


 


(b) Each
Lender hereby irrevocably and unconditionally purchases from Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata participation
in all LC Obligations outstanding from time to time. Issuing Bank is issuing Letters of Credit in reliance upon this participation. If
Borrowers do not make a payment to Issuing Bank when due hereunder, Agent shall promptly notify Lenders and each Lender shall within
one (1) Business Day after such notice pay to Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank, the Lender’s Pro Rata share of such
payment. Upon request by a Lender, Issuing Bank shall provide copies of Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession.


 






     32


     


    

 


(c) The
obligation of each Lender to make payments to Agent for the account of Issuing Bank in connection with Issuing Bank’s payment under
a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception
whatsoever, and shall be made as provided in this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability
of any Loan Documents; a draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit being determined to be forged, fraudulent,
noncompliant, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; waiver by Issuing
Bank of a requirement that exists for its protection (and not a Borrower’s protection) or that does not materially prejudice a
Borrower; honor of an electronic demand for payment even if a draft is required; payment of an item presented after a Letter of Credit’s
expiration date if authorized by the UCC or applicable customs or practices; or any setoff or defense that an Obligor may have with respect
to any Obligations. Issuing Bank does not assume responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower
or other Person of any obligations under any LC Documents. Issuing Bank does not make any express or implied warranty, representation
or guaranty to Lenders with respect to any Letter of Credit, Collateral, LC Document or Obligor. Issuing Bank shall not be responsible
to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity,
genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of, any LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or
sufficiency of any Collateral or perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations,
business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor.


 


(d) No
Indemnitee shall be liable to any Obligor, Lender or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any
Letter of Credit or LC Document except as a result of such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Issuing Bank may
refrain from taking any action with respect to a Letter of Credit until it receives written instructions (and in its discretion, appropriate
assurances) from the Lenders.


 


2.3.3. Cash
Collateral. At Agent’s or Issuing Bank’s request, Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize (a) the Fronting Exposure of
any Defaulting Lender; and (b) all outstanding Letters of Credit if an Event of Default exists, the Commitment Termination Date
is scheduled to occur within twenty (20) Business Days or the Commitment Termination Date occurs. If Borrowers fail to provide any
Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Agent) advance their Pro Rata share, as Loans, the amount
of Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6
are satisfied).


 


2.3.4. Resignation
of Issuing Bank. Issuing Bank may resign at any time upon notice to Agent and Borrowers, and any resignation of Agent hereunder shall
automatically constitute its concurrent resignation as Issuing Bank. From the effective date of its resignation, Issuing Bank shall have
no obligation to issue, amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify any Letter of Credit, but shall otherwise have all rights and obligations
of an Issuing Bank hereunder relating to any Letter of Credit issued by it prior to such date. A replacement Issuing Bank may be appointed
by written agreement among Agent, Borrower Agent and the new Issuing Bank; provided that any such successor Issuing Bank shall
be an Eligible Assignee at the time of appointment.


 


2.4. Notes.
The Loans shall, in any Lender’s Permitted Discretion, be evidenced by one or more promissory notes in form and substance satisfactory
to such Lender. However, if such Loans are not so evidenced, such Loans may be evidenced solely by entries upon the books and records
maintained by Agent.


 






     33


     


    

 


2.5.   Extension
of the Revolver Termination Date. Borrowers shall have the option to extend the initial Revolver Termination Date (the “Extension
Option”) one (1) time for a period of one (1) year (the “Extension Term”) upon satisfaction of each of the
following terms and conditions:


 


(a)   no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the Extension Option is exercised and on the date that the Extension
Term commences;


 


(b)   Borrower
shall notify Agent and the Lenders of its irrevocable election to extend the Revolver Termination Date as aforesaid not earlier than one
hundred twenty (120) days, and no later than thirty (30) days, prior to the Revolver Termination Date;


 


(c)   Borrowers
shall have delivered to Agent (i) together with its notice pursuant to Section 2.5(b) and (ii) on the date of the commencement
of the Extension Option, an officer’s certificate in form acceptable to Agent certifying that each of the representations and warranties
of Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the date of such officer’s
certificate to the extent such representations and warranties are not matters which by their nature can no longer be true and correct
as a result of the passage of time or expressly relate to a specified earlier date; and


 


(d)   Borrowers
shall have paid to Agent all reasonable, out-of-pocket and documented costs actually incurred by Agent in connection with the exercise
of the Extension Option (including reasonable, out-of-pocket and documented attorneys’ fees).


 


2.6.   Increase
in Commitments. Borrowers may, at any time prior to the expiration or termination of the Commitments, request an increase in Commitments
from time to time upon not less than 45 days’ prior notice delivered to the Agent, as long as (a) each requested increase is
in a minimum amount of $10,000,000.00 and is offered on terms identical to the existing Commitments (including, without limitation, with
respect to pricing, fees and maturity), except that the Borrowers may pay a closing fee in connection with such increase, such fee to
be specified by Borrowers, but in no event to exceed 50 basis points of the increased Commitments, (b) total increases under this
Section after the date hereof do not exceed $32,500,000.00 in the aggregate for all such increases, and no more than four (4) increases
are made during the term of this Agreement and (c) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continued or would be caused by
such increase or any substantially concurrent borrowing thereunder. Agent shall promptly notify Lenders in writing of the requested increase
and, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, each Lender shall notify Agent if and to what extent such Lender commits to increase its
Commitment. Any Lender not responding within such period shall be deemed to have declined an increase. No Lender shall be obligated to
provide any increased Commitments unless it so agrees; provided, the Borrower shall first request such increase from each existing
Lender in accordance with such Lender’s pro rata share of the existing Commitment (as of the date of such request) prior to approaching
any other Person, and each such Lender may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such increase. If existing Lenders fail
to commit to the full requested increase as contemplated above, Eligible Assignees may issue additional Commitments for any unallocated
portion of the requested increase and shall become Lenders hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. Total Commitments shall be increased
by the requested amount (or such lesser amount committed by Lenders and Eligible Assignees) on a date agreed upon by Agent and Borrower
Agent, provided the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied at such time. Agent, Borrowers, and the new and existing
Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements as Agent reasonably deems appropriate to evidence the increase in and
allocations of Commitments in accordance with the terms above. On the effective date of an increase, the Revolver Usage and other exposures
under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders, and settled by Agent as necessary, in accordance with Lenders’ adjusted
shares of Commitments.


 






     34


     


    

 


SECTION 3. INTEREST,
FEES AND CHARGES


 


3.1.   Rates
and Payment of Interest.


 


(a)   The
Obligations shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (x) Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (y) three
and one-quarter percent (3.25%).


 


(b)   During
an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Borrower, or during any other Event of Default if Agent or Required Lenders in their discretion
so elect, Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment). Each Borrower acknowledges that
the cost and expense to Agent and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is fair and
reasonable compensation for this.


 


(c)   Interest
shall accrue from the date a Loan is advanced or Obligation is incurred or payable, until paid in full by Borrowers. Interest accrued
on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) on the first day of each month; (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect
to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the Commitment Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations
shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable on demand.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.


 


3.2.   Fees.
Borrowers jointly and severally shall pay to Agent or the relevant Lender, as applicable, the fees set forth on Exhibit E.


 


3.3.   Computation
of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be
computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. Each determination by Agent of any interest,
fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully
earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation
for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money.
A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.9, submitted
to Borrower Agent by Agent or the affected Lender shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and
Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within ten (10) days following receipt of the certificate.


 






     35


     


    

 


3.4.   Reimbursement
Obligations. Borrowers shall pay all Extraordinary Expenses promptly upon request. Borrowers also shall reimburse Agent for all
reasonable and documented legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with
(a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration
of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect
or maintain priority of Agent’s Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify Collateral; and
(c) subject to the limits of Section 9.1.1(b), each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor or Collateral,
whether prepared by Agent’s personnel or a third party. All reasonable and documented legal, accounting and consulting fees shall
be charged to Borrowers by Agent’s professionals at their full hourly rates, regardless of any alternative fee arrangements that
Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates may have with such professionals that otherwise might apply to this or any other transaction.
Borrowers acknowledge that counsel may provide Agent with a benefit (such as a discount, credit or accommodation for other matters) based
on counsel’s overall relationship with Agent, including fees paid hereunder. If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting
by any Borrower), it is determined that a higher Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then the
proper margin shall be applied retroactively, and Borrowers shall immediately pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, an amount
equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually
paid. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section shall be due on demand.


 


3.5.   Reserved.


 


3.6.   Increased
Costs; Capital Adequacy.


 


3.6.1.   Increased
Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:


 


(a)   impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or Issuing Bank;


 


(b)   subject
any Recipient to Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clause (b) of the definition of Excluded
Taxes, or (iii) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to any Loan, Letter of Credit, Commitment or other obligations, or its deposits,
reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or


 


(c)   impose
on any Lender, Issuing Bank or any interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting any Loan, Letter of Credit, Commitment
or Loan Document;


 


and the result in clause (a), (b)
or (c) above shall be to increase the cost to a Lender or Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Loan or Commitment, or converting
to or continuing any interest option for a Loan, or to increase the cost to a Lender or Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter
of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to issue a Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
a Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request by of such Lender or Issuing
Bank, Borrowers will pay to it such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered.


 






     36


     


    

 


3.6.2.   Capital
Requirements. If a Lender or Issuing Bank determines that a Change in Law affecting it or its holding company regarding capital or
liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s or such
holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit to a level below that which
such Lender, Issuing Bank or such holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration its policies
with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank such additional amounts as
will compensate it or its holding company for the reduction suffered.


 


3.6.3.   Reserved.


 


3.6.4.   Compensation.
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver
of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank for any increased
costs or reductions suffered more than nine months (plus any period of retroactivity of the Change in Law giving rise to the demand) prior
to the date that Lender or Issuing Bank notifies Borrower Agent of the applicable Change in Law and of Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s
intention to claim compensation therefor.


 


3.7.   Mitigation.
If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.6, or if Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional
amounts under Section 5.9, then at the request of Borrower Agent, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a
different lending office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the
judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or
to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would
not otherwise be disadvantageous to it or unlawful. Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection
with any such designation or assignment.


 


3.8.   Reserved.


 


3.9.   Maximum
Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under
the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (“maximum rate”).
If Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the
principal of the Obligations or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted
for, charged or received by Agent or a Lender exceeds the maximum rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize
any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects
thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated
term of the Obligations hereunder.


 






     37


     


    

 


SECTION 4. LOAN
ADMINISTRATION


 


4.1.   Manner
of Borrowing and Funding Revolver Loans.


 


4.1.1.   Notice
of Borrowing.


 


(a)   Whenever
Borrowers desire funding of a Revolver Loan, Borrower Agent shall give Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Such notice must be received by Agent
by 11:00 a.m. five (5) Business Days prior to the requested funding date. Notices received after such time shall be deemed received
on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing and (B) the
requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), provided, however, that any such Notice of Borrowing shall
be accompanied by (A) a Borrowing Base Certificate, (B) any applicable Collateral Documents and (C) supporting documentation of the applicable
Advance, including, without limitation, the borrowing base certificate applicable to the Advance.


 


(b)   Unless
payment is otherwise made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including
Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations, Cash Collateral and Bank Product Debt) shall be deemed to be a request for a Revolver Loan on
the due date in the amount due and the Loan proceeds shall be disbursed (subject to the terms hereof) as direct payment of such relevant
Obligation. In addition, Agent may, at its option, charge such amount against any operating, investment or other account of a Borrower
maintained with Agent or any of its Affiliates.


 


(c)   If
a Borrower maintains a disbursement account with Agent or any of its Affiliates, then presentation for payment in the account of a Payment
Item when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for a Revolver Loan on the presentation date, in the
amount of the Payment Item. Proceeds of the Loan may be disbursed (subject to the terms hereof) directly to the account.


 


4.1.2.   Notices.
Borrowers may request, Loans, and transfer funds based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions to Agent. Borrowers shall confirm each such
request by prompt delivery to Agent of a Notice of Borrowing, but if it differs materially from the action taken by Agent, the records
of Agent shall govern. Agent and Lenders are not liable for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of Agent or a Lender acting upon
its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith to be a person authorized to give such instructions
on a Borrower’s behalf.


 






     38


     


    

 


4.1.3.   Fundings
by Lenders. Agent shall notify Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 1:00 p.m. at least
two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed funding date for a Revolver Loan. Each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing
in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the requested funding date (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be
a Business Day), unless Agent’s notice is received after the times provided above, in which case Lender shall fund by 1:00 p.m.
on the next Business Day. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders, Agent shall disburse the Borrowing proceeds in a manner
directed by Borrower Agent and acceptable to Agent. Unless Agent receives (in sufficient time to act) written notice from a Lender that
it will not fund its share of a Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Agent,
and Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to Borrowers. If a Lender’s share of a Borrowing is not received by Agent, then Borrowers
agree to repay to Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid,
at the rate applicable to the Borrowing. Agent, a Lender or Issuing Bank may fulfill its obligations under Loan Documents through one
or more Lending Offices, and this shall not affect any obligation of Obligors under the Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations.


 


4.2.   Defaulting
Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:


 


4.2.1.   Reallocation
of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations or rights to fund, participate in or receive
collections with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit (including existing Protective Advances and LC Obligations), Agent may in its
discretion reallocate Pro Rata shares by excluding a Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and Loans from the calculation of shares. A
Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in
Section 13.1.1(c).


 


4.2.2.   Payments;
Fees. Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a
Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders
and other Secured Parties have been paid in full. Agent may use such amounts to cover the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations,
to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s Fronting Exposure, to readvance the amounts to Borrowers or to repay Obligations. A Lender shall
not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder while it is a Defaulting Lender and its unfunded Commitment shall be disregarded
for purposes of calculating the unused line fee under Section 3.2. If any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulted Lender are reallocated
to other Lenders, fees attributable to such LC Obligations under Section 3.2 shall be paid to such Lenders. Agent shall be
paid all fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not reallocated.


 


4.2.3.   Status;
Cure. Agent may determine in its discretion that a Lender constitutes a Defaulting Lender and the effective date of such status shall
be conclusive and binding on all parties, absent manifest error. Borrowers, Agent and Issuing Bank may agree in writing that a Lender
has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender, whereupon Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of the reinstated Lender’s
Commitments and Loans, and the Revolver Usage and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled
by Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata shares. Unless expressly agreed
by Borrowers, Agent and Issuing Bank, or as expressly provided herein with respect to Bail-In Actions and related matters, no reallocation
of Commitments and Loans to non-Defaulting Lenders or reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims
against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform
obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document. No Lender shall be responsible for
default by another Lender.

4.3.   Borrower
Agent. Each Borrower hereby designates CAL (“Borrower Agent”) as its representative and agent for all purposes
under the Loan Documents, including requests for and receipts of Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery
or receipt of communications, delivery of Borrowing Base Certificates and financial information and reports, payment of Obligations, requests
for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants),
and all other dealings with Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender. Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. Agent and Lenders shall
be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any Notice of Borrowing)
delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. Agent may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to Borrower
Agent on behalf of such Borrower. Each of Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively
with Borrower Agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, delivery,
representation, agreement, action or undertaking on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.


 


4.4.   One
Obligation. The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations shall constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and are secured
by Agent’s Lien on all Collateral; provided, however, that Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor
of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.


 


4.5.   Effect
of Termination. On the effective date of the termination of the Commitments, the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable,
and each Secured Party may terminate its Bank Products. Until Full Payment of the Obligations, all undertakings of Borrowers contained
in the Loan Documents shall continue, and Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the
Loan Documents. Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens unless it receives Cash Collateral or a written agreement, in each
case satisfactory to it, protecting it from dishonor or return of any Payment Item previously applied to the Obligations. Sections 2.3,
3.4, 3.7, 5.6, 5.9, 11.3, this Section, and each indemnity or waiver given by an Obligor in any Loan
Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations.


 


SECTION 5. PAYMENTS


 


5.1.   General
Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind,
free and clear of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, and in immediately available funds, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the due date.
Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all such payments
shall be made to the Agent, for the account of the respective Issuing Banks or Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Agent’s
office located at [***]. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Issuing Bank or Lender its ratable share (or other applicable share
as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s applicable
lending office (or otherwise distribute such payment in like funds as received to the Person or Persons entitled thereto as provided herein).
Borrowers agree that Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply payments and proceeds of Collateral against
Obligations, in accordance with the terms hereof. Subject to Section 10.7, if at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit, interest, fees and other
amounts then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest, fees and other amounts then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and other amounts then due to such parties,
and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal or unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit, as applicable, then due
to such parties.


 






     40


     


    

 


5.2.   Repayment
of Revolver Loans. On the first Business Day of each calendar month, Borrowers shall make a payment total amount of interest accrued
and outstanding on the Revolver Loans. The balance of (i) any interest due and payable and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the
Revolver Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Revolver Termination Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder. Revolver
Loans may be prepaid from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions herein. If an Overadvance or Protective Advance exists at
any time, Borrowers shall, on the sooner of Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after any Borrower has knowledge thereof, repay
Revolver Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce Revolver Usage to the Borrowing Base. If any asset disposition includes the disposition
of Advances, Borrowers shall apply Net Proceeds to repay Revolver Loans equal to the greater of (a) the net book value of such Advances,
or (b) the reduction in Borrowing Base resulting from the disposition.


 


5.3.   Prepayment.
Borrowers shall have the right at any time to prepay the Loans of all the Lenders, Pro Rata, without premium or penalty, except as follows:
Borrower shall pay a prepayment penalty equal to one percent (1%) of the amount of any permanent reduction of the Commitments, for any
reason (whether through whole or partial refinancing of the Obligations, termination of this Agreement or otherwise), on or before December
16, 2022, such fee to be payable concurrently with such reduction, Pro Rata, to each Lender; provided, however, that the
foregoing fee shall not be paid to any Lender if such Lender, or an affiliate thereof, is a lender under the facility refinancing the
Obligations.


 


5.4.   Payment
of Other Obligations. Obligations other than Loans, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrowers
as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, on demand.


 


5.5.   Dominion
Account. Borrowers shall maintain Dominion Accounts pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements acceptable to Agent. Borrowers shall
obtain an agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to Agent) from each lockbox servicer and Dominion Account bank, establishing Agent’s
control over and Lien in the lockbox or Dominion Account, requiring immediate deposit of all remittances received in the lockbox to a
Dominion Account, and waiving offset rights of such servicer or bank, except for customary administrative charges. Agent may, if an Event
of Default exists, require immediate transfer of all funds in such account to a Dominion Account maintained with [***] Bank (or, if [***]
Bank is no longer the Agent, such other institution as is reasonably acceptable to the Agent, or if there is no Agent, then the Required
Lenders). Agent assumes no responsibility to Borrowers for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord
and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank. Borrowers shall request in writing and otherwise take
all necessary steps to ensure that all payments on Accounts or otherwise relating to Collateral are made directly to a Dominion Account
(or a lockbox relating to a Dominion Account). If any Borrower or Subsidiary receives cash or Payment Items with respect to any Collateral,
it shall hold same in trust for Agent and promptly (not later than the next Business Day) deposit same into a Dominion Account.


 






     41


     


    

 


5.6.   Marshaling;
Payments Set Aside. None of Agent or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against
any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers is made to Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender, or if Agent, Issuing Bank or
any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and any of such payment or setoff is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Agent, Issuing Bank or a Lender in their discretion) to be
repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and
remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or setoff had not occurred.


 


5.7.   Application
of Payments.


 


5.7.1.   Dominion
Account. The ledger balance in the main Dominion Account as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Obligations at the
beginning of the next Business Day. If a credit balance results from such application, it shall be delivered to Borrowers, as requested
by Borrowers, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists.


 


5.7.2.   Insurance
and Condemnation Proceeds. Any proceeds of insurance (other than proceeds from workers’ compensation or D&O insurance) and
any awards arising from condemnation of any Collateral shall be paid to Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with the
terms hereof.


 


5.7.3.   Reinvestment
of Proceeds. If requested by Borrowers in writing within fifteen (15) days after Agent’s receipt of any insurance proceeds or
condemnation awards relating to any loss or destruction of Equipment or Real Estate, Borrowers may use such proceeds or awards to repair
or replace such Equipment or Real Estate (and until so used, the proceeds shall be held by Agent as Cash Collateral) as long as (i) no
Default or Event of Default exists; (ii) such repair or replacement is promptly undertaken and concluded, in accordance with plans
reasonably satisfactory to Agent; (iii) replacement buildings are constructed on the sites of the original casualties and are of
comparable size, quality and utility to the destroyed buildings; (iv) the repaired or replaced Property is free of Liens, other than
Permitted Liens that are not Purchase Money Liens; (v) Borrowers comply with disbursement procedures for such repair or replacement
as Agent may reasonably require; and (vi) the aggregate amount of such proceeds or awards from any single casualty or condemnation
does not exceed $150,000.


 


5.7.4.   Reserved.


 


5.8.   Account
Stated. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with customary practices, loan account(s) evidencing the Debt of Borrowers hereunder.
Any failure of Agent to record anything in a loan account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation
of Borrowers to pay any amount owing hereunder. Entries made in a loan account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information
contained therein. If any information contained in a loan account is provided to or inspected by any Person, the information shall be
conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Agent in writing
within thirty (30) days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.


 






     42


     


    

 


5.9.   Taxes.


 


5.9.1.   Payments
Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Tax Payment.


 


(a)   All
payments of Obligations by Obligors shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law.
If applicable Law (as determined by Agent or Obligor, as applicable, in its discretion) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax
from any such payment by Agent or an Obligor, then Agent or such Obligor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding based
on information and documentation provided pursuant to Section 5.9. For purposes of Sections 5.8 and 5.9,
“applicable Law” shall include FATCA and “Lender” shall include Issuing Bank.


 


(b)   If
Agent or any Obligor is required by the Code to withhold or deduct Taxes, including backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any
payment, then (i) Agent or Obligor, as applicable, shall pay the full amount that it determines is to be withheld or deducted to
the relevant Governmental Authority pursuant to the Code, and (ii) to the extent the withholding or deduction is made on account
of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that the Recipient receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.


 


(c)   If
Agent or any Obligor is required by any applicable Law other than the Code to withhold or deduct Taxes from any payment, then (i) Agent
or such Obligor, to the extent required by applicable Law, shall timely pay the full amount to be withheld or deducted to the relevant
Governmental Authority, and (ii) to the extent the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable
by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such withholding or deduction been made.


 


5.9.2.   Payment
of Other Taxes. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable Law, or at Agent’s option, timely reimburse Agent for payment of, any Other Taxes.


 


5.9.3.   Tax
Indemnification.


 


(a)   Each
Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a joint and several basis, each Recipient against any Indemnified Taxes (including those
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by a Recipient or required to be withheld
or deducted from a payment to a Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Borrower
shall make payment within ten (10) days after written demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section. A certificate as
to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by a Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its
own behalf or on behalf of any Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 






     43


     


    

 


(b)   Each
Lender and Issuing Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a several basis, (i) Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable
to such Lender or Issuing Bank (but only to the extent Borrowers have not already paid or reimbursed Agent therefor and without limiting
Borrowers’ obligation to do so), (ii) Agent against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to maintain a Participant
Register as required hereunder, and (iii) Agent against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case,
that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Obligations, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender
and Issuing Bank shall make payment within ten (10) days after written demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Bank by Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.


 


5.9.4.   Evidence
of Payments. If Agent or an Obligor pays any Taxes pursuant to this Section, then upon request, Agent or Borrower Agent, as applicable,
shall deliver to the other a copy of a receipt issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority evidencing the payment, a copy of any
return required by applicable Law to report the payment, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the requesting party.


 


5.9.5.   Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If a Recipient determines in its reasonable discretion that it has received a refund of Taxes that were indemnified
by Borrowers or with respect to which a Borrower paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay the amount of such refund
to Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments or additional amounts actually paid by Borrowers with respect to the Taxes
giving rise to the refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient and without interest (other
than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Borrowers shall, upon request by the Recipient,
repay to the Recipient such amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) if the Recipient is required to repay such refund to the Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
no Recipient shall be required to pay any amount to Borrowers if such payment would place it in a less favorable net after-Tax position
than it 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. In no event shall Agent or
any Recipient be required to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) available
to any Obligor or other Person.


 






     44


     


    

 


5.9.6.   Status
of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments of Obligations
shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent as will
permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrowers
or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Agent to enable
them to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
such documentation (other than documentation described in Sections 5.9.7(a), (b), and (d)) shall not be required
if a Lender reasonably believes delivery of the documentation would subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially
prejudice its legal or commercial position.


 


5.9.7.   Documentation.
Without limiting the foregoing, if any Borrower is a U.S. Person,


 


(a)   any
Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder
(and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of Borrowers or Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9, certifying that such
Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;


 


(b)   any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers and 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 hereunder (and from time to time
thereafter upon reasonable request of Borrowers or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:


 


(i)   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, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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 other payments
under the Loan Documents, IRS Form W-8BEN-E 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;


 


(ii)   executed
copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;


 


(iii)   in
the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code,
(x) a certificate in form satisfactory to Agent to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning
of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of a Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B)
of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (“U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate”), and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or


 






     45


     


    

 


(iv)   to
the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate in form satisfactory to Agent, 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 one or more of its direct or indirect
partners is claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of
each such partner;


 


(c)   any
Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrowers and 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 hereunder (and from time to time
thereafter upon reasonable request), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption
from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed
by applicable Law to permit Borrowers or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and


 


(d)   if
payment of an Obligation to a Lender 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),
such Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Agent, at the time(s) prescribed by law and otherwise upon reasonable request, such documentation
prescribed by applicable Law (including Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation as may be appropriate
for Borrowers or Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with its obligations
under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (d), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof.


 


Each Lender agrees that if
any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form
or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.


 


5.9.8.   Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.9 shall survive any assignment by any Agent, Issuing Bank or Lender of
rights or obligations hereunder, termination of the Commitments, and any repayment, satisfaction, discharge or Full Payment of any Obligations.


 






     46


     


    

 


5.10.   Nature
and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.


 


5.10.1.   Joint
and Several Liability. Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees
to Agent, Lenders and any other Secured Party the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty
obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that such obligations shall not
be discharged until Full Payment of the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the
genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan
Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence
of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any
kind by Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a
Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for any Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent,
Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor;
(e) any election by Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of
the Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of
the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender against any Obligor for
the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances
that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of the Obligations.


 


5.10.2.   Waivers.


 


(a)   Each
Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common Law, in equity or otherwise, to
compel any Secured Party to marshal assets or to proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance
of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety,
guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of Obligations and waives, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, any right
to revoke any guaranty of Obligations as long as it is a Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower and each Secured Party that the provisions
of this Section 5.10 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions,
Agent and Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this
Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.


 






     47


     


    

 


(b)   Subject
in all respects to Section 11, Secured Parties may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate,
including realization upon Collateral or any Real Estate by judicial foreclosure or nonjudicial sale or enforcement, without affecting
any rights and remedies under this Section 5.10. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or
remedies, a Secured Party shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower
or other Person, whether because of any applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents
to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Borrower
might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of a Secured Party to seek a deficiency
judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Borrower
waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for
Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. Agent
may bid Obligations, in whole or part, at any foreclosure, trustee or other sale, including any private sale, and the amount of such bid
need not be paid by Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Agent
or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference
between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations
guaranteed under this Section 5.10, notwithstanding that any present or future Law or court decision may have the effect of
reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which a Secured Party might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.


 


5.10.3.   Extent
of Liability; Contribution.


 


(a)   Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 5.10 shall not exceed the greater of (i) all
amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described in clause (c) below, and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable
Amount.


 


(b)   If
any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 5.10 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily
liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made
by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations
satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts
of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed
by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, ratably based on their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior
to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered
from such Borrower under this Section 5.10 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy
Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common Law.


 


(c)   Section 5.10.3(a)
shall not limit the liability of any Borrower to pay or guarantee Loans made directly or indirectly to it (including Loans advanced hereunder
to any other Person and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), LC Obligations relating to
Letters of Credit issued to support its business, Bank Products incurred to support its business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses
and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. Agent
and Lenders shall have the right, at any time in its discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate calculation
of borrowing availability for each Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of Loans and Letters of Credit to a Borrower based
on that calculation.


 






     48


     


    

 


5.10.4.   Joint
Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that Agent and Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis,
in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective
enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. Borrowers
believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility,
all to their mutual advantage. Borrowers acknowledge that Agent’s and Lenders’ willingness to extend credit and to administer
the Collateral on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.


 


5.10.5.   Subordination.
Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at Law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,

of Agent, and no Borrower or other Person shall have any right to any Cash Collateral, until Full Payment of the Obligations.

7.4.1.   Commercial
Tort Claims. Borrowers shall promptly notify Agent in writing if any Borrower has a Commercial Tort Claim (other than, as long as
no Default or Event of Default exists, a Commercial Tort Claim for less than $100,000), shall promptly amend Schedule 8.1.15
to include such claim, and shall take such actions as Agent deems appropriate to subject such claim to a duly perfected, first priority
Lien in favor of Agent.

SECTION 8. REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES


 


8.1.   General
Representations and Warranties. To induce Agent and Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make available the Commitments,
Loans and Letters of Credit, each Borrower represents and warrants that:


 


8.1.1.   Organization
and Qualification. Each Borrower and Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction
of its organization. Each Borrower and Subsidiary is duly qualified, authorized to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation
in each jurisdiction where failure to be so qualified could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


8.1.2.   Power
and Authority. Each Obligor is duly authorized to execute, deliver and perform its Loan Documents. The execution, delivery and performance
of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and do not (a) require any consent or approval of any holders
of Equity Interests of any Obligor, except those already obtained; (b) contravene the Organic Documents of any Obligor; (c) violate
or cause a default under any applicable Law or Material Contract; or (d) result in or require the imposition of a Lien (other than
Permitted Liens) on any Obligor’s Property.


 


8.1.3.   Enforceability.
Each Loan Document is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except
as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.


 


8.1.4.   Capital
Structure. Schedule 8.1.4 shows, for each Borrower and Subsidiary, its name, jurisdiction of organization, authorized
and issued Equity Interests, holders of its Equity Interests, and agreements binding on such holders with respect to such Equity Interests.
Except as disclosed on Schedule 8.1.4, in the five (5) years preceding the Restatement Date, no Borrower or Subsidiary has
acquired any substantial assets from any other Person nor been the surviving entity in a merger or combination. Each Borrower has good
title to its Equity Interests in its Subsidiaries, subject only to Agent’s Lien, and all such Equity Interests are duly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable. There are no outstanding purchase options, warrants, subscription rights, agreements to issue or sell,
convertible interests, phantom rights or powers of attorney relating to Equity Interests of any Borrower or Subsidiary.


 


8.1.5.   Title
to Properties; Priority of Liens. Each Borrower and Subsidiary has good and marketable title to (or valid leasehold interests in)
all of its Real Estate, and good title to all of its personal Property, including all Property reflected in any financial statements delivered
to Agent or Lenders, in each case free of Liens except Permitted Liens. Each Borrower and Subsidiary has paid and discharged all lawful
claims that, if unpaid, could become a Lien on its Properties, other than Permitted Liens. All Liens of Agent in the Collateral are duly
perfected, first priority Liens, subject only to Permitted Liens that are expressly allowed to have priority over Agent’s Liens.


 






     52


     


    

 


8.1.6.   Advances.
Agent may rely, in determining which Advances are Eligible Advances, on all statements and representations made by Borrowers with respect
thereto. Borrowers warrant, with respect to each Advance at the time it is shown as an Eligible Advance in a Borrowing Base Certificate,
that: (a) it is genuine and enforceable in accordance with its terms and is not evidenced by a judgment; (b) it arises out of
a completed, commercial loan or advance in the Ordinary Course of Business, and substantially in accordance with any loan or credit agreement,
contract or other document relating thereto; (c) it is for a sum certain, maturing as stated in the loan or credit agreement evidencing
such transaction, copies of which loan or credit agreement and other material agreements have been furnished or are available to Agent
on request; (d) it is not subject to any offset, Lien (other than Agent’s Lien), deduction, defense, dispute, counterclaim
or other adverse condition except as arising in the Ordinary Course of Business and disclosed to Agent; (e) no credit or loan agreement
or other applicable document or applicable Law restricts assignment of the Advance to Agent (regardless of whether, under the UCC, the
restriction is ineffective); (f) no extension, compromise, settlement, modification, credit or deduction has been authorized with
respect to the Advance; and (g) it satisfies each of the other eligibility criteria and requirements in the definition of Eligible Advance
unless such criteria was waived or modified by Agent and/or the Required Lenders, as applicable, in accordance with the terms hereof,
including, without limitation, as set forth in the definition of Eligible Advances.


 


8.1.7.   Financial
Statements. The consolidated and consolidating balance sheets, and related statements of income, cash flow and shareholders’
equity, of Borrowers and Subsidiaries that have been and are hereafter delivered to Agent and Lenders, are prepared in accordance with
GAAP, and fairly present the financial positions and results of operations of Borrowers and Subsidiaries at the dates and for the periods
indicated. All projections delivered from time to time to Agent and Lenders have been prepared in good faith, based on reasonable assumptions
in light of the circumstances at such time. Since December 31, 2021, there has been no change in the condition, financial or otherwise,
of any Borrower or Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No financial statement delivered to
Agent or Lenders at any time contains any untrue statement of a material fact, nor fails to disclose any material fact necessary to make
such statement not materially misleading. Each Borrower and Subsidiary is Solvent.


 


8.1.8.   Surety
Obligations. No Borrower or Subsidiary is obligated as surety or indemnitor under any bond or other contract that assures payment
or performance of any obligation of any Person, except as permitted hereunder.


 


8.1.9.   Taxes.
Each Borrower and Subsidiary has filed all federal, state and local tax returns and other reports that it is required by Law to file,
and has paid, or made provision for the payment of, all Taxes upon it, its income and its Properties that are due and payable, except
to the extent being Properly Contested. The provision for Taxes on the books of each Borrower and Subsidiary is adequate for all years
not closed by applicable statutes, and for its current Fiscal Year.


 


8.1.10.   Brokers.
There are no brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or investment banking fees payable in connection with any transactions contemplated
by the Loan Documents.


 


8.1.11.   Intellectual
Property. Each Borrower and Subsidiary owns or has the lawful right to use all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of
its business, without conflict with any rights of others. Except as disclosed on Schedule 8.1.11, no Borrower or Subsidiary
pays or owes any Royalty or other compensation to any Person with respect to any Intellectual Property. All Intellectual Property owned,
used or licensed by, or otherwise subject to any interests of, any Borrower or Subsidiary is shown on Schedule 8.1.11.


 






     53


     


    

 


8.1.12.   Governmental
Approvals. Each Borrower and Subsidiary has, is in compliance with, and is in good standing with respect to, all Governmental Approvals
necessary to conduct its business and to own, lease and operate its Properties.


 


8.1.13.   Compliance
with Laws. Each Borrower and Subsidiary has duly complied, and its Properties and business operations are in compliance, in all material
respects with all applicable Laws, except where noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There
have been no citations, notices or orders of material noncompliance issued to any Borrower or Subsidiary under any applicable Law. No
Inventory has been produced in violation of the FLSA. Except as disclosed on Schedule 8.1.13, no Borrower’s or Subsidiary’s
past or present operations, Real Estate or other Properties are subject to any federal, state or local investigation to determine whether
any remedial action is needed to address any environmental pollution, hazardous material or environmental clean-up. No Borrower or Subsidiary
has received any Environmental Notice. No Borrower or Subsidiary has any contingent liability with respect to any Environmental Release,
environmental pollution or hazardous material on any Real Estate now or previously owned, leased or operated by it.


 


8.1.14.   Burdensome
Contracts. No Borrower or Subsidiary is party or subject to any Restrictive Agreement, except as shown on Schedule 8.1.14.
No such Restrictive Agreement prohibits the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document by an Obligor.


 


8.1.15.   Litigation.
Except as shown on Schedule 8.1.15, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to any Borrower’s knowledge,
threatened against any Borrower or Subsidiary, or any of their businesses, operations, Properties, prospects or conditions, that (a) relate
to any Loan Documents or transactions contemplated thereby; or (b) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect
if determined adversely to any Borrower or Subsidiary. Except as shown on such Schedule, no Obligor has a Commercial Tort Claim (other
than, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, a Commercial Tort Claim for less than $100,000). No Borrower or Subsidiary is
in default with respect to any order, injunction or judgment of any Governmental Authority.


 


8.1.16.   No
Defaults. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists that constitutes a Default or Event of Default. No Borrower or Subsidiary
is in default, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute
a default, under any Material Contract or in the payment of any Borrowed Money or allow termination of any Material Contract.


 


8.1.17.   ERISA.
Except as disclosed on Schedule 8.1.17:


 


(a)   Each
Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code, and other federal and state laws. Each
Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or an
application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the knowledge of Borrowers, nothing
has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification. Each Obligor and ERISA Affiliate has met all applicable requirements
under the Code, ERISA and the Pension Protection Act of 2006, and no application for a waiver of the minimum funding standards or an extension
of any amortization period has been made with respect to any Plan.


 






     54


     


    

 


(b)   There
are no pending or, to the knowledge of Borrowers, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with
respect to any Plan that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation

Adverse Effect.


 


(c)   (i) No
ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (ii) no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability; (iii) no
Obligor or ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension

or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under Section 4219 of ERISA,
would result in such liability) under Section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; (v) no Obligor or
ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA; and (vi) as of
the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan, the funding target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2)
of the Code) is at least 60%, and no Obligor or ERISA Affiliate knows of any fact or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to
cause the funding target attainment percentage for any such plan to drop below 60% as of such date.


 


8.1.18.   Trade
Relations. There exists no actual or threatened termination, limitation or modification of any business relationship between any Borrower
or Subsidiary and any customer or supplier, or any group of customers or suppliers, who individually or in the aggregate are material
to the business of such Borrower or Subsidiary.


 


8.1.19.   Labor
Relations. No Borrower or Subsidiary is party to or bound by any collective bargaining agreement, management agreement or consulting
agreement. There are no material grievances, disputes or controversies with any union or other organization of any Borrower’s or
Subsidiary’s employees, or, to any Borrower’s knowledge, any asserted or threatened strikes, work stoppages or demands for
collective bargaining.

Practices. No Borrower or Subsidiary has made any material change in its historical accounts payable practices from those in effect
on the Restatement Date.


 


8.1.21.   Not
a Regulated Entity. No Obligor is (a) required to register as an “investment company” pursuant to the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended; or (b) subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act or any public
utilities code.


 


8.1.22.   Margin
Stock. No Borrower or Subsidiary is engaged, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No Loan proceeds or Letters of Credit will be used by Borrowers to purchase
or carry, or to reduce or refinance any Debt incurred to purchase or carry, any Margin Stock or for any related purpose governed by Regulations
T, U or X of the Board of Governors.


 






     55


     


    

 


8.1.23.   OFAC.
No Borrower, Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of any Borrower or Subsidiary, any director, officer, employee, agent, affiliate or representative
thereof, is an individual or entity currently the subject of any Sanctions. No Borrower or Subsidiary is located, organized or resident
in a Designated Jurisdiction.

SECTION 9. COVENANTS
AND CONTINUING AGREEMENTS


 


9.1.   Affirmative
Covenants. As long as any Commitment or Obligations are outstanding, each Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to:


 


9.1.1.   Inspections;
Appraisals.


 


(a)   Permit
Agent from time to time, subject (except when a Default or Event of Default exists) to reasonable notice and normal business hours, to
visit and inspect the Properties of any Borrower or Subsidiary, inspect, audit and make extracts from any Borrower’s or Subsidiary’s
books and records, and discuss with its officers, employees, agents, advisors and independent accountants such Borrower’s or Subsidiary’s
business, financial condition, assets, prospects and results of operations. Lenders may participate in any such visit or inspection; provided,
however, that such participation shall be at their own expense unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Secured
Parties shall not have any duty to any Borrower to make any inspection, nor to share any results of any inspection, appraisal or report
with any Borrower. Borrowers acknowledge that all inspections, appraisals and reports are prepared by Agent and Lenders for their purposes,
and Borrowers shall not be entitled to rely upon them.


 


(b)   Reimburse
Agent for all of its reasonable, documented charges, costs and expenses in connection with examinations of any Obligor’s books and
records or any other financial or Collateral matters as Agent deems appropriate, up to one time per Loan Year; provided, however,
that if an examination is initiated during a Default or Event of Default, all charges, costs and expenses therefor shall be reimbursed
by Borrowers without regard to such limits. Subject to and without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers agree to pay Agent’s then standard
charges for examination activities, including the standard charges of Agent’s internal examination and appraisal groups, as well
as the charges of any third party used for such purposes.


 


(c)   Permit
Agent to have full and continuous access to Borrowers’ collateral analysis files and virtual file room.


 






     56


     


    

 


9.1.2.   Financial
and Other Information. Keep adequate records and books of account with respect to its business activities, in which proper entries
are made in accordance with GAAP reflecting all financial transactions; and furnish to Agent and Lenders all financial statements, reports

Notify Agent and Lenders in writing, promptly after a Borrower’s obtaining knowledge thereof, of any of the following that affects
an Obligor: (a) the threat or commencement of any proceeding or investigation, whether or not covered by insurance, if an adverse
determination could have a Material Adverse Effect; (b) any pending or threatened labor dispute, strike or walkout, or the expiration
of any material labor contract; (c) any default under or termination of a Material Contract; (d) the existence of any Default
or Event of Default; (e) any judgment in an amount exceeding $150,000; (f) any violation or asserted violation of any applicable
Law (including ERISA, OSHA, FLSA, or any Environmental Laws), if an adverse resolution could have a Material Adverse Effect; (g) the
occurrence of any ERISA Event; (h) any proposed modification to any License or entry into a new License in each case at least thirty
(30) days prior to its effective date or any default or breach asserted by any Person to have occurred under any License; (i) the
discharge of or any withdrawal or resignation by Borrowers’ independent accountants; (j) any change in the information provided
in the Beneficial Ownership Certification that would result in a change to the list of beneficial owners identified in parts (c) or (d)
of such certification; or (k) any Material Amendment with respect to an Eligible Advance.


 


9.1.5.   Compliance
with Laws. Comply with all applicable laws, including ERISA, Environmental Laws, FLSA, OSHA, Anti-Terrorism Laws, and laws regarding
collection and payment of Taxes, and maintain all Governmental Approvals necessary to the ownership of its Properties or conduct of its
business, unless failure to comply (other than failure to comply with Anti-Terrorism Laws) or maintain could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


9.1.6.   Taxes.
Pay and discharge all Taxes prior to the date on which they become delinquent or penalties attach, unless such Taxes are being Properly
Contested. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes, Agent is authorized, in its discretion, to pay the amount thereof
to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided, however, that
Agent shall not be liable for any Taxes that may be due from Borrowers or with respect to any Collateral.


 


9.1.7.   Insurance.


 


(a)   Maintain
general liability insurance in amounts, with certificates and endorsements and with insurers (with a Best Rating of at least A+, unless
otherwise approved by Agent in its discretion) satisfactory to Agent. All proceeds under each policy shall be payable to Agent. Unless
Agent shall agree otherwise, each policy shall include satisfactory endorsements (i) showing Agent as lender’s loss payee;
(ii) requiring thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever;
and (iii) specifying that the interest of Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Borrower or the
owner of the Property, nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by the policy. If any Borrower
fails to provide and pay for any insurance, Agent may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the insurance and charge Borrowers
therefor. Each Borrower agrees to deliver to Agent, promptly as rendered, copies of all reports made to insurance companies. While no
Event of Default exists, Borrowers may settle, adjust or compromise any insurance claim, as long as the proceeds are delivered to Agent.
If an Event of Default exists, only Agent shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the delivery to Agent of any such satisfactory certificates and endorsements shall not be required until the date that is thirty (30)
days following the Restatement Date.


 






     57


     


    

 


(b)   Borrower
shall obtain and maintain a policy of key-man life insurance on Anthony Cappell and Andreas Bodmeier each in a minimum amount of One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000), each such policy to be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent and assigned to Agent as collateral security
for the Obligations on the terms and conditions of a Collateral Assignment of Insurance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Agent.


 


9.1.8.   Licenses.
Keep each License affecting any Collateral (including the manufacture, distribution or disposition of Inventory) or any other material
Property of Borrowers and Subsidiaries in full force and effect and pay all Royalties when due.


 


9.1.9.   Deposit
Accounts; Depository Bank. Take all actions necessary to establish Agent’s control of each such Deposit Account (other than
an account exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes or employee benefits, or an account containing not more than $10,000 at any time).
Each Borrower shall be the sole account holder of each Deposit Account and shall not allow any other Person (other than Agent) to have
control over a Deposit Account or any Property deposited therein. Except as otherwise consented to by Agent in writing, in its sole and
absolute discretion, Borrowers shall utilize [***] Bank (or, if [***] Bank is no longer the Agent, such other institution as is reasonably
acceptable to the Agent, or if there is no Agent, then the Required Lenders) as its primary bank of account and depository for all financial
services, including all receivables, disbursements, cash management and related services. Each Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of
any opening or closing of a Deposit Account and, with the consent of Agent, will amend Schedule 9.1.9 to reflect same. Borrowers
also shall maintain [***] Bank (or, if [***] Bank is no longer the Agent, such other institution as is reasonably acceptable to the Agent,
or if there is no Agent, then the Required Lenders) as its principal depository bank, including for the maintenance of all operating,
collection, disbursement and other deposit accounts and for all Cash Management Services.


 


9.1.10.   Other

tangible items of Collateral shall at all times be kept by Borrowers at the business locations set forth in Schedule 9.1.10,

Collateral to another location in the United States, upon thirty (30) Business Days prior written notice to Agent.


 






     58

Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of Borrowers by mail, telephone or otherwise. Borrowers
shall cooperate fully with Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.


 


(c)   All

may be, for which such non-compliance occurred until the tenth Business Day after the date on which financial statements are required

Guarantor shall have the right, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent, to (i) make cash capital contributions
to CAL in an amount that, if added to EBITDA for the relevant testing period, would have been sufficient to cause compliance with such
Financial Covenant for such period (each, a “Financial Covenant Equity Cure”) (for the avoidance of doubt, nothing
in this Section 10.6.1 shall prevent Borrower from receiving capital contributions in an aggregate amount in excess of the amount
sufficient to cause compliance with such Financial Covenant for the relevant testing period; provided that such excess shall not
be added to EBITDA for the purpose of calculating compliance with such Financial Covenant or any other purpose), and provided,
that:


 


(a)   Guarantor
shall not be entitled to exercise the Financial Covenant Equity Cure more than four times in the aggregate after the Restatement Date;


 


(b)   in
each period of four consecutive Fiscal Quarters, there shall be a period of at least two consecutive Fiscal Quarters in which no Financial
Covenant Equity Cure shall have been made;


 


(c)   the

(e)   upon
receipt by Agent of evidence of the consummation of the Financial Covenant Equity Cure (which evidence shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Agent and shall be received by Agent no more than one (1) Business Day following the consummation of such Financial
Covenant Equity Cure), no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to exist pursuant to the applicable Financial Covenant (and any
such Default or Event of Default shall be retroactively considered not to have existed or occurred). If the Financial Covenant Equity
Cure is not consummated within the applicable Financial Covenant Cure Period, each such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed reinstated;
and


 






     67


     


    

 


(f)   the
cash amount received by Borrower pursuant to exercise of the right to make a Financial Covenant Equity Cure shall be added to EBITDA for
purposes of recalculating compliance with the applicable Financial Covenant for the applicable period (the “Subject Period”)
solely for purposes of recalculating compliance with the applicable Financial Covenant for such period and any subsequent period that
includes the Subject Period (and disregarded for purposes of the calculation of EBITDA for all other purposes, including calculating basket
levels, the determination of pricing and other items governed by reference to EBITDA in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents).


 


10.7.   Application
of Payments and Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after the acceleration of
the principal amount of any of the Loans, all payments and proceeds in respect of any of the Obligations received by the Agent or any
other Secured Party under any Loan Document, including any proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the
Collateral or the Collateral, shall, subject to Section 4.2, be applied by the Agent as follows:


 


(i)   first,
to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to the Agent (in its capacity as such) with
respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral, including any Protective Advances made by the Agent pursuant to,
and in accordance with, Section 2.2;


 


(ii)   second,
to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to any other Secured Party with respect to
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Collateral;


 


(iii)   third,
to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, would
have accrued on such amounts);


 


(iv)   fourth,
to the principal amount of the Obligations, including to Cash Collateralize existing obligations with respect to LC Obligations in compliance
with Section 2.3.3, and, an amount up to $6,500,000.00, to the Obligations owing to any counterparty in respect of any Lender Hedging
Agreement;


 


(v)   fifth,
to any other Obligations owing to the Agent or any other Secured Party under the Loan Documents and to the remaining Obligations owing
to any counterparty in respect of any Lender Hedging Agreement; and


 


(vi)   sixth,
to the payment of the surplus (if any) to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.


 


In carrying out the foregoing,
(a) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding
category, and (b) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro
rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category. Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Obligor
shall not be paid with amounts received from such Obligor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to such
payments from other Obligors to preserve the allocation to the Obligations set forth above in this Section 10.7.

Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or under any Loan Documents, applicable Law or otherwise.
Agent alone is authorized to determine eligibility and applicable advance rates under the Borrowing Base, whether to impose or release
any reserve, or whether any conditions to funding or issuance of a Letter of Credit have been satisfied, which determinations and judgments,
if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Agent from liability to any Secured Party or other Person for any error in judgment.


 


11.1.2.   Duties.
The title of “Agent” is used solely as a matter of market custom and the duties of Agent are administrative in nature only.
Agent has no duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and in no event does Agent have any agency, fiduciary or implied
duty to or relationship with any Secured Party or other Person by reason of any Loan Document or related transaction, even if a Default
exists. The conferral upon Agent of any right shall not imply a duty to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Lenders in
accordance with this Agreement.


 


11.1.3.   Agent
Professionals. Agent may perform its duties through employees and agents. Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and
shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent
Professional. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected
by it with reasonable care.

11.1.4.   Instructions
of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity
of joining any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. In determining compliance with a condition for any action hereunder, including
satisfaction of any condition in Section 6, Agent may presume that the condition is satisfactory to a Secured Party unless
Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Secured Party before Agent takes the action. Agent may request instructions from Required
Lenders or other Secured Parties with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents or Collateral,
and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations against Claims that could be incurred
by Agent. Agent may refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and shall not incur liability to any Person
by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall have
any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting pursuant to instructions of Required
Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to the extent provided in Section 13.1.1.
In no event shall Agent be required to take any action that it determines in its discretion is contrary to applicable Law or any Loan
Documents or could expose any Indemnitee to potential liability.


 


11.2.   Agreements
Regarding Collateral and Borrower Materials.


 


11.2.1.   Lien
Releases; Care of Collateral. Secured Parties authorize Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of
the Obligations; (b) that is the subject of a disposition or Lien that Borrowers certify in writing is a Permitted Disposition or
a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over Agent’s Liens (and Agent may rely conclusively on such certificate without further inquiry);
(c) that does not constitute a material part of the Collateral; or (d) subject to Section 13.1, with the consent
of Required Lenders, affected Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable hereunder. Secured Parties authorize Agent to subordinate its Liens
to any Purchase Money Lien or other Lien entitled to priority hereunder. Agent has no obligation to assure that any Collateral exists
or is owned by an Obligor, or is cared for, protected or insured, nor to assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected
or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral. To the extent
required under the laws of any foreign jurisdiction, each Secured Party hereby grants to Agent any required power of attorney to take
any action with respect to Collateral or to execute any Loan Document on the Secured Party’s behalf.


 


11.2.2.   Possession
of Collateral. Agent and Secured Parties appoint each Secured Party as agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) for the purpose
of perfecting Liens in Collateral held or controlled by it, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession or control. If a Secured
Party obtains possession or control of any Collateral, it shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent’s request, deliver
such Collateral to Agent or otherwise deal with it in accordance with Agent’s instructions.


 


11.2.3.   Reports.
Agent shall promptly provide to Lenders, when complete, any field examination, audit, appraisal or consultant report prepared for Agent
with respect to any Obligor or Collateral (“Report”). Reports and other Borrower Materials may be made available to
Lenders by posting them on the Platform, but Agent shall not be responsible for system failures or access issues that may occur from time
to time. Each Lender agrees (a) that Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Agent or any other
Person performing an audit or examination will inspect only limited information and will rely significantly upon Borrowers’ books,
records and representations; (b) that Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Borrower
Materials and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Borrower Materials; and (c) to keep all Borrower
Materials confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, not to distribute any Report or other Borrower Materials (or
contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants), and to use all Borrower Materials
solely for administration of the Obligations. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent and any other Person preparing a Report
from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Borrower Materials, as well as from any Claims
arising as a direct or indirect result of Agent furnishing same to such Lender, via the Platform or otherwise.


 






     70


     


    

 


11.3.   Reliance
by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Communication (including those by
telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy, e-mail or other electronic means) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person. Agent shall have a reasonable and practicable amount of time to act on any Communication and shall
not be liable for any delay in acting.


 


11.4.   Action
Upon Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or of any failure to satisfy any
conditions in Section 6, unless it has received written notice from a Borrower or Required Lenders specifying the occurrence
and nature thereof. If a Lender acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or failure of such conditions, it shall promptly notify
Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Secured Party agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or
with the written consent of Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations or assert any
rights relating to any Collateral.


 


11.5.   Ratable
Sharing. If any Lender obtains any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of
its ratable share of such Obligation, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from Secured Parties participations in the affected Obligation
as are necessary to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered
from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without
interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Defaulting Lender obtains a payment or reduction of any Obligation, it shall immediately
turn over the full amount thereof to Agent for application under Section 4.2.2 and it shall provide a written statement to
Agent describing the Obligation affected by such payment or reduction. No Lender shall set off against a Dominion Account without Agent’s
prior consent.


 


11.6.   Indemnification.
EACH SECURED PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES,
CONSULTANTS AND ATTORNEYS (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO HEREIN AS “AGENT INDEMNITEES”), TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY
OBLIGORS, SEVERALLY AND ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST AGENT INDEMNITEES; PROVIDED
THAT ANY CLAIM AGAINST AN AGENT INDEMNITEE RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR FOR AGENT (IN THE CAPACITY OF AGENT); PROVIDED,
FURTHER, THAT NO SECURED PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO AGENT OR ANY AGENT INDEMNITEES TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIM OR LIABILITY HAS RESULTED
FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF AGENT OR, AS THE CASE MAY BE, SUCH AGENT INDEMNITEE, AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT
JURISDICTION IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT OR ORDER. In Agent’s discretion, it may reserve for any Claims made against
an Agent Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any
distribution of Collateral proceeds to Secured Parties. If Agent is sued by any receiver, trustee or other Person for any alleged preference
or fraudulent transfer relating to the Obligations or the Collateral, then any monies paid by Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such
proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be
promptly reimbursed to Agent by each Secured Party (to the extent not reimbursed by Obligors) severally and to the extent of its Pro Rata
share.


 






     71


     


    

 


11.7.   Limitation
on Responsibilities of Agent. Agent shall not be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken under
the Loan Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent does not
assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Obligor, Lender or other Secured Party of any obligations
under the Loan Documents. Agent does not make any express or implied representation, warranty or guarantee to Secured Parties with respect
to any Obligations, Collateral, Liens, Loan Documents or Obligor. No Indemnitee shall be responsible to Secured Parties for any recitals,
statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Loan Documents or Borrower Materials; the execution, validity,
genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency,
location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability
or collectability of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness
or legal status of any Obligor or Account Debtor. No Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or inquire
into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance by any Obligor of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction
of any conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents.


 


11.8.   Successor
Agent and Co-Agents.


 


11.8.1.
Resignation; Successor Agent. Agent may resign at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days written notice thereof to Lenders
and Borrowers. Required Lenders may appoint a successor that is (a) a Lender or Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) a financial institution
reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders and (provided no Event of Default exists) Borrowers. If no successor is appointed by
the effective date of Agent’s resignation, then on such date, Agent may appoint a successor acceptable to it in its discretion (which
shall be a Lender unless no Lender accepts the role) and (provided no Event of Default exists) with the consent of Borrowers or,
in the absence of such appointment, Required Lenders shall automatically assume all rights and duties of Agent. The successor Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Agent without further act. The retiring Agent shall
be discharged from its duties hereunder on the effective date of its resignation, but shall continue to have all rights and protections
available to Agent under the Loan Documents with respect to actions, omissions, circumstances or Claims relating to or arising while it
was acting or transferring responsibilities as Agent or holding any Collateral on behalf of Secured Parties, including indemnification
under Sections 11.6 and 13.3, and all rights and protections under this Section 11. Any successor to [***]
Bank by merger or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be Agent hereunder without further act on the part of any Secured
Party or Obligor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any such successor Agent shall be an Eligible Assignee at the time of appointment.


 






     72


     


    

 


11.8.2.   Co-Collateral
Agent. If appropriate under applicable Law, Agent may appoint a Person to serve as a co-collateral agent or separate collateral agent
under any Loan Document. Each right, remedy and protection intended to be available to Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested
in such agent. Secured Parties shall execute and deliver any instrument or agreement that Agent may request to effect such appointment.
If any such agent shall die, dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of the agent,
to the extent permitted by applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by Agent until appointment of a new agent.


 


11.9.   Due
Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or
any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis
of each Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC Obligations hereunder. Each
Secured Party has made such inquiries as it feels necessary concerning the Loan Documents, Collateral and Obligors. Each Secured Party
acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties have made no representations or warranties concerning any Obligor, any Collateral
or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. No act by Agent, including any consent,
amendment, acceptance of assignment or due diligence by Agent, shall be deemed to constitute a representation by Agent to any Secured
Party as to any matter, including whether Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Secured Party will, independently
and without reliance upon any other Secured Party, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate
at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking
or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender,
Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Agent by
any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or
any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Agent or its Affiliates. Each Lender represents and warrants that (a) the
Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, and (b) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial
loans in the ordinary course, is sophisticated with respect to making such decisions and holding such loans, and is entering into this
Agreement for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities as set forth herein, and not
for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument. Each Lender agrees not to assert any claim
in contravention of the foregoing.


 


11.10.   Remittance
of Payments and Collections.


 


11.10.1.   Remittances
Generally. Payments by any Secured Party to Agent shall be made by the time and date provided herein, in immediately available funds.
If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand and request for payment is made by Agent by 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day,
then payment shall be made by the applicable Secured Party by 5:00 p.m. on the next Business Day following receipt of such request,
and if request is made after 1:00 p.m., then payment shall be made by 1:00 p.m. on the second Business Day following receipt
of such request. Payment by Agent to any Secured Party shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by Agent. Any such
payment shall be subject to Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.


 






     73


     


    




 

 


11.10.2.   Recovery
of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision herein, if at any time Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to
any Secured Party, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by Borrowers at such time (“Rescindable Amount”),
then in any such event each Secured Party receiving the Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to Agent, forthwith on demand made
by the Agent within ninety (90) days of the date the Agent shall have made such payment to such Secured Party, the Rescindable Amount
received by such Secured Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon for each day from
and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by such Secured Party to but excluding the date of repayment to Agent, at the
Federal Funds Rate. Each Secured Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any defense of discharge for value (under which
a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar
defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. Agent shall inform each Secured Party promptly upon determining that any payment
made to such Secured Party was comprised, in whole or in part, of a Rescindable Amount.


 


11.10.3.   Distributions.
If Agent determines that an amount received by it must be returned or paid to an Obligor or other Person pursuant to applicable Law or
otherwise, then Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Secured Party.


 


11.11.   Individual
Capacities. As a Lender, [***] Bank shall have the same rights and remedies under the Loan Documents as any other Lender, and
the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders” or any similar term shall include [***] Bank in its capacity as a Lender.
Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, provide Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor
to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Obligors and their Affiliates, as if they were not Agent or Lenders hereunder,
without any duty to account therefor to any Secured Party. In their individual capacities, Agent, Lenders and their Affiliates may receive
information regarding Obligors, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations),
and shall have no obligation to provide such information to any Secured Party.


 


11.12.   Titles.
Each Lender, other than [***] Bank, that is designated in connection with this credit facility as an “Arranger,” “Joint
Lead Arranger,” “Observation Agent,” “Bookrunner” or “Agent” of any kind shall have no right
(other than, with respect to the Observation Agent, the rights specified in Section 11.14) or duty under any Loan Documents other
than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event have any fiduciary duty to any Secured Party, and no implied responsibilities,
duties or obligations shall be construed to exist in this Agreement or any other Loan Document.


 






     74


     


    

 


11.13.   Certain
ERISA Matters.


 


11.13.1.   Lender
Representations. Each Lender represents and warrants, as of the date it became a Lender party hereto, and covenants, from the date
it became a Lender party hereto to the date it ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, Agent and not, for the avoidance
of doubt, to or for the benefit of Obligors, that at least one of the following is and will be true: (a) Lender is not using “plan
assets” (within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(42) or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to Lender’s
entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments or Loan Documents; (b) the
transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent
qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts),
PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption
for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined
by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance
of the Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments and Loan Documents; (c) (i) Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified
Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (ii) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made
the investment decision on behalf of Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments
and Loan Documents, (iii) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, Letters of Credit,
Commitments and Loan Documents satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14, and (iv) to
the best knowledge of Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to Lender’s
entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments and Loan Documents; or
(d) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between Agent, in its discretion, and Lender.


 


11.13.2.   Further
Lender Representations. Unless Section 11.13.1(a) or 11.13.1(d) is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further
represents and warrants, as of the date it became a Lender hereunder, and covenants, from the date it became a Lender to the date it ceases
to be a Lender hereunder, for the benefit of, Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of any Obligor, that Agent
is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in its entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance
of the Loans, Letters of Credit, Commitments and Loan Documents (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights
by Agent under any Loan Document).


 


11.14.   Observation
Agent Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary:


 


(a)   Observation
Agent shall have the right to (to the same extent that Agent has the right to), jointly with Agent, (i) approve or reject all Appraisals
and Appraised Value (and each of the components set forth in the definitions thereof), (ii) adjust and apply the Availability Reserve
(and each of the components set forth in the definition thereof) and advance rates set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base (including,
in accordance with Exhibit G), otherwise review and approve or reject Borrowing Base calculations, and determine which Advances
(if any) qualify as Eligible Advances (including determination with respect to, or waiver of, any components set forth in the definition
thereof) and which Real Estate (if any) qualifies as Eligible Real Estate (including determination with respect to any components set
forth in the definition thereof), (iii) approve or reject any depository institution at which a Dominion Account and/or Deposit Accounts
are maintained by all Borrowers, and (iv) approve or reject any modifications to, or deviations from, the Borrower’s Loan Policy
(a true, complete and correct copy of which shall be provided to the Observation Agent prior to the Restatement Date), in each case, if
Agent is entitled to do so without the consent or input of Required Lenders, affected Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, including
in instances where Agent has sole discretion, and Agent hereby agrees that any such action or decision shall be determined jointly by
Agent and Observation Agent;


 






     75


     


    

 


(b)   Observation
Agent shall receive (i) access to Borrowers’ file management portal, including such files, reports and similar items as may be customarily
stored on such system, and records of any Obligor as provided in clause (l) of Exhibit F and (ii) copies of all of the information
and documents received by the Agent to the extent relating to any of the foregoing (including the information described in Exhibits
F and G); and


 


(c)   Observation
Agent shall have (i) no powers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents other than as set forth in this Section 11.14
and (ii) no duties, obligations, requirements or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no liability
to any party hereto or any other Person for any action, or omission to act, hereunder or in connection herewith, the other Loan Documents,
the Obligors, the Obligations or the Collateral.


 


To the extent Agent and Observation Agent disagree
on, or otherwise do not come to a consensus, with respect to any issue requiring joint consent pursuant to Section 11.14(a), the
vote of Required Lenders will be required to overcome such disagreement (or lack of consensus) prior to any related action is taken or
decision is made, which action or decision shall be taken or made in accordance with such vote.


 


11.15.   No
Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 11 is an agreement solely among Secured Parties and Agent, and shall survive
Full Payment of the Obligations. This Section 11 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Borrowers or any other Person.
As between Borrowers and Agent, any action that Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively
presumed to have been authorized and directed by Secured Parties.


 


SECTION 12. BENEFIT
OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS


 


12.1.   Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, Agent, Lenders, Secured Parties, and
their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Obligor may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under any Loan
Documents; and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3. Agent may treat the Person
which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 12.3.
Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.


 






     76


     


    

 


12.2.
Participations.


 


12.2.1.   Permitted
Participants; Effect. Subject to Section 12.3.3, any Lender may sell to a financial institution (“Participant”)
a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating
interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, it shall remain solely responsible
to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, it shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all purposes,
all amounts payable by Borrowers shall be determined as if it had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Agent shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents (and, for the avoidance of doubt, a Participant
shall not constitute a Lender hereunder). Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under
the Loan Documents, and Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. A Participant
that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.8 unless Borrowers agree
otherwise in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, [***] Bank shall not be considered
a “Defaulting Lender” hereunder solely as a result of any Restatement Date Participant failing to fund its portion of the
Restatement Date Commitment Increase or otherwise defaulting in its obligations as a Restatement Date Participant solely with respect
to its portion of the Restatement Date Commitment Increase.


 


12.2.2.   Voting
Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other
modification of a Loan Document other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable
with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the maturity or any date fixed for any regularly
scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases any Borrower, Guarantor or substantially all
Collateral.


 


12.2.3.   Participant
Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a register in
which it enters each Participant’s name, address and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest
in the Commitments, Loans and LC Obligations under the Loan Documents (“Participant Register”); provided that
no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant
or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, LC Obligations or any other obligations under
any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that a Participant’s interest is in registered
form under Section 5f.103-1(c) the United States Treasury Regulations. Entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation for all
purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility
for maintaining a Participant Register.


 


12.2.4.   Benefit
of Setoff. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest
to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect
to any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts
received through its set-off, in accordance with Section 12.5 as if such Participant were a Lender.


 






     77


     


    

 


12.3.   Assignments.


 


12.3.1.   Permitted
Assignments. Subject to Section 12.3.3, a Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under
the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s
rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $2,000,000
(unless otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; and (b) the parties
to each such assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment to Agent for acceptance and recording. Nothing herein shall limit the
right of a Lender to pledge or assign any rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including a pledge or
assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from its obligations
hereunder nor substitute the pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.


 


12.3.2.   Effect;
Effective Date. Upon delivery to Agent of a fully executed and completed Assignment accompanied by a processing fee of $3,500 (unless
such assignment is to a Lender, Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund or otherwise agreed by Agent in its discretion), the assignment
specified therein shall be effective as provided in the Assignment as long as it complies with this Section 12.3. From such
effective date, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations
of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements
for issuance of replacement and/or new notes, if applicable. The transferee Lender shall comply with Section 5.9 and deliver,
upon request, an administrative questionnaire satisfactory to Agent.


 


12.3.3.   Certain
Assignees. No assignment or participation may be made to a Borrower, Affiliate of a Borrower, Defaulting Lender, Disqualified Institution
or one or more natural persons. Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether any assignment is permitted under the Loan Documents.
Any assignment by a Defaulting Lender must be accompanied by satisfaction of its outstanding obligations under the Loan Documents in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to Agent, including payment by the Defaulting Lender or Eligible Assignee of an amount sufficient upon
distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations or other methods acceptable to Agent in its reasonable discretion) to
satisfy all funding and payment liabilities of the Defaulting Lender. If any assignment by a Defaulting Lender (by operation of law or
otherwise) does not comply with the foregoing, the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until compliance occurs.


 


12.3.4.   Register.
Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain (a) a copy (or electronic equivalent)
of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it, and (b) a register for recordation of the names, addresses and Commitments of,
and the Loans, and LC Obligations, including principal amounts and stated interest owing to, each Lender. Entries in the register shall
be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person recorded in such register as a Lender for
all purposes under the Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Agent may choose to show only one Borrower as the borrower
in the register, without any effect on the liability of any Obligor with respect to the Obligations. The register shall be available for
inspection by Borrowers or any Lender, from time to time upon reasonable notice.

12.3.5.   Disqualified
Institutions.


 


(a)   No
assignment or participation shall be made to any Person that was a Disqualified Institution as of the date (each, a “Trade Date”)
on which the assigning Lender entered into a binding agreement to sell and assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement to such Person, as the case may be (unless Borrowers have consented to such assignment or participation in writing in its
sole and absolute discretion, in which case such Person will not be considered a Disqualified Institution for the purpose of such assignment
or participation). For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assignee that becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable
Trade Date (including as a result of the delivery of a notice pursuant to, or the expiration of the notice period referred to in, the
definition of “Disqualified Institution”), (i) such assignee shall not retroactively be disqualified from becoming a Lender
and (ii) the execution by Borrowers of an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignee will not by itself result in such assignee
no longer being considered a Disqualified Institution. Any assignment or participation in violation of this clause (a) shall not be void,
but the other provisions of this Section 12.3.5 shall apply.


 


(b)   If
any assignment or participation is made to any Disqualified Institution without Borrowers’ prior written consent in violation of
clause (a) above, or if any Person becomes a Disqualified Institution after the applicable Trade Date, Borrowers may, at their sole expense
and effort, upon notice to the applicable Disqualified Institution and Agent, (i) terminate any Commitment of such Disqualified Institution
and repay all obligations of Borrowers owing to such Disqualified Institution in connection with such Commitment or (ii) require such
Disqualified Institution to assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this Section), all
of its interest, rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees at the lesser of (x) the principal amount
thereof and (y) the amount that such Disqualified Institution paid to acquire such interests, rights and obligations, in each case plus
accrued interest, accrued fees and all other amounts (other than principal amounts) payable to it hereunder.


 


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


 






     79


     


    

 


(d)   Agent
shall have the right, and Borrowers hereby expressly authorize Agent, to (i) post the list of Disqualified Institutions provided by Borrowers
and any updates thereto from time to time (collectively, the “DQ List”) on the Platform, including that portion of
the Platform that is designated for “public side” Lenders, or (ii) provide the DQ List to each Lender requesting the same.


 


12.4.   Replacement
of Certain Lenders. If a Lender (a) within the last one hundred twenty (120) days failed to give its consent to any amendment,
waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and Required Lenders consented, (b) is a Defaulting Lender, or (c) within
the last 120 days gave a notice under Section 3.5 or requested payment or compensation under Section 3.7
or 5.8 (and has not designated a different Lending Office pursuant to Section 3.8), then Agent or Borrower Agent may,
upon ten (10) days’ notice to such Lender, require it to assign its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to Eligible
Assignee(s), pursuant to appropriate Assignment(s), within twenty (20) days after the notice. Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact
to execute any such Assignment if the Lender fails to execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with
such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents through the date of assignment.


 


SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS


 


13.1.   Amendments
and Waivers.


 


13.1.1.   Amendments
and Other Modifications. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, a Loan Document (each, a “Modification”)
shall be effective without the prior written agreement of Agent (with the written consent of Required Lenders) and each Obligor party
to such Loan Document; provided, that


 


(a)   without
the prior written consent of Agent, no Modification shall alter any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or
discretion of Agent;


 


(b)   without
the prior written consent of Issuing Bank, no Modification shall alter Section 2.3 or any other provision in a Loan Document
that relates to Letters of Credit or any rights, duties or discretion of Issuing Bank;


 


(c)   without
the prior written consent of each affected Lender, including a Defaulting Lender, no Modification shall (i) increase the Commitment
of such Lender; (ii) reduce the amount or rate of, or waive or delay payment of, any principal, interest, indemnity, reimbursement
or fees payable to such Lender (except as provided in Section 4.2); provided that only the consent of the Required
Lenders shall be necessary (A) to waive the obligation of Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or (B) to amend any financial
covenant (or any defined term directly or indirectly used therein), even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of
interest on any Loan or other Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder); or (iii) extend the maturity of, or time of payment
on, such Lender’s Obligations (including any date fixed for payment of principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender);


 






     80


     


    

 


(d)   without
the prior written consent of all Lenders (except any Defaulting Lender), no Modification shall (i) alter Section 5.1,
5.7, 7.1 (except to add Collateral), 10.7 or 13.1.1; (ii) release or subordinate all or substantially
all Collateral; (iii) except in connection with a merger, disposition or similar transaction expressly permitted pursuant to Section
9.2.9, release any Obligor from liability for any Obligations; (iv) reduce the percentage specified in or otherwise modify the definition
of Required Lenders, or consent to the assignment or transfer by any Obligor of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents (except as permitted by Section 9.2.9), (v) subordinate Agent’s Liens on any material portion
of the Collateral or subordinate (whether payment subordination or otherwise) the Obligations to other Debt (in each case, other than
the subordination of the Agent’s Liens in connection with purchase money indebtedness or capital leases, in either case, to the
extent permitted hereunder) or (vi) change any Loan Document provision requiring consent or action by all Lenders;


 


(e)   any
Modification to the Agent Fee Letter or the Observation Agent Fee Letter, respectively, shall only require the consent of the parties
thereto;


 


(f)   if
Real Estate directly secures any Obligations, no Modification of a Loan Document shall add, increase, renew or extend any credit line
hereunder until the completion of flood diligence and documentation as required by applicable Laws or as otherwise satisfactory to all
Lenders; and


 


(g)   without
the prior written consent of the applicable Eligible Counterparty amend, modify or waive of any Obligations arising under Hedging Agreements
or the definition of “Hedging Agreement,” “Hedging Obligations,” or “Obligations,” (as defined herein
or any applicable Collateral Document) in each case in a manner adverse to any Eligible Counterparty with Obligations then outstanding.


 


13.1.2.   Limitations.
No agreement of any Obligor shall be required for any Modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of
Lenders, Issuing Bank and/or Agent as among themselves; provided, that, if a Borrower is a party to such Loan Document, Agent shall
post or otherwise provide the same to Borrowers reasonably promptly after it becomes effective. Only the consent of the parties to any
agreement relating to fees or a Bank Product shall be required for Modification of such agreement, and no Bank Product provider (in such
capacity) shall have any right to consent to Modification of any Loan Document. Any waiver or consent granted by Agent, Issuing Bank or
Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only for the matter specified.


 


13.1.3.   Corrections.
Without action or consent by any other party to this Agreement, (a) Agent and Borrower Agent may amend a Loan Document to cure an
ambiguity, omission, mistake, typographical error, or other defect in any provision, schedule or exhibit thereof; and (b) Agent may
revise Schedule 1.1 to reflect changes in Commitments from time to time.


 






     81


     


    

 


13.2.   Power
of Attorney. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent (and all Persons designated by Agent) as such Borrower’s
true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purposes provided in this Section. Agent, or Agent’s designee, may, without
notice and in either its or a Borrower’s name, but at the cost and expense of Borrowers:


 


(a)   Endorse
a Borrower’s name on any Payment Item or other proceeds of Collateral (including proceeds of insurance) that come into Agent’s
possession or control; and


 


(b)   During
an Event of Default, (i) notify any Account Debtors of the assignment of their Accounts, demand and enforce payment of Accounts,
by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally exercise any rights and remedies with respect to Accounts; (ii) settle, adjust,
modify, compromise, discharge or release any Accounts or other Collateral, or any legal proceedings brought to collect Accounts or Collateral;
(iii) collect, liquidate and receive balances in Deposit Accounts or investment accounts, and take control, in any manner, of proceeds

notices to Account Debtors; (vi) use information contained in any data processing, electronic or information systems relating to
Collateral; (vii) make and adjust claims under insurance policies; and (viii) do all other things necessary to carry out the
intent and purpose of this Agreement.


 


13.3.   Indemnity.
EACH BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY
INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY ANY OBLIGOR OR OTHER PERSON OR ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE. In no event shall
any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is
determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnitee.


 


13.4.   Notices
and Communications.


 


13.4.1.   Notice
Address. All notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Borrower, at Borrower
Agent’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof,
or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 13.4. Each communication
shall be effective only (a) if given (i) with regards to Borrower Agent, by electronic mail to the applicable electronic mail
address(es), if confirmation of receipt is received, and (ii) with regards to Agent, by facsimile transmission, when transmitted
to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after deposit
in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal delivery, when
duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.3,
2.3, or 4.1.1 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at Agent such notice is required
to be sent. Any written communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on
the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Borrower Agent shall be deemed received by all Borrowers.


 






     82


     


    

 


13.4.2.   Electronic
Communications; Voice Mail. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 13.4.1 to the contrary, electronic mail and internet websites
may be used only for routine communications, such as delivery of financial statements, Borrowing Base Certificates and other information
required by Section 9.1.2, administrative matters, and distribution of Loan Documents. Agent make no assurances as to the
privacy and security of electronic communications. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 13.4.1 to the contrary, electronic
and voice mail may not be used as effective notice under the Loan Documents.


 


13.4.3.   Platform.
Borrowing Base information, reports, financial statements and other materials shall be delivered by Borrowers pursuant to procedures approved
by Agent, including electronic delivery (if possible) upon request by Agent to an electronic system maintained by it (“Platform”).
Borrowers shall notify Agent of each posting of reports or other information on the Platform. All information shall be deemed received
by Agent only upon its receipt of such notice. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” 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 AGENT WITH RESPECT TO THE PLATFORM. Agent does not warrant
the adequacy or functioning of the Platform, and expressly disclaims liability for any issues involving the Platform. No Indemnitee shall
have any liability to Borrowers or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort,
contract or otherwise) relating to use by any Person of the Platform or delivery of any information over the internet.


 


13.4.4.   Non-Conforming
Communications. Agent and Lenders may rely upon any communications purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower even if they
were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient,
varied from a later confirmation. Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs
and expenses arising from any electronic or telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower.


 


13.5.   Performance
of Borrowers’ Obligations. Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at Borrowers’ expense,
pay any amount or do any act required of a Borrower under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Agent to (a) enforce
any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or
maintain the validity or priority of Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse
charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary
Expenses) of Agent under this Section shall be reimbursed by Borrowers, on demand, with interest from the date incurred until paid
in full, at the Default Rate applicable to Revolver Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Agent under this Section shall be without
prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.


 






     83


     


    

 


13.6.   Credit
Inquiries. Agent and Lenders may (but shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third
parties concerning any Obligor or Subsidiary.


 


13.7.   Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under applicable Law. If any
provision is found to be invalid under applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining
provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.


 


13.8.   Cumulative
Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents
may use several limitations or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be
performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this
Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein
shall govern and control.


 


13.9.   Counterparts;
Execution. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when Agent has received counterparts bearing
the signatures of all parties hereto. Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic means shall
be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement. Any electronic signature, contract formation on an electronic
platform and electronic record-keeping shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of
a paper-based recordkeeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global
and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state Law based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act.


 


13.10.   Entire
Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to all Loan Documents and Obligations. The Loan Documents constitute the entire
agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, among the parties relating to the subject matter thereof.


 


13.11.   No
Control; No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. Nothing in any Loan Document and no action of Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender
pursuant to any Loan Document shall be deemed to constitute control of any Obligor by Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender. In connection
with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (a) (i) this credit
facility and all related services by Agent, Issuing Bank and any Lender or any of their Affiliates are arm’s-length commercial transactions
between Borrowers and such Person; (ii) Borrowers have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the
extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Borrowers are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and
conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of Agent, Issuing Bank, each Lender and each of their
Affiliates is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been,
is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrowers, their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation
with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) Agent, Issuing
Bank and any Lender and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of
Borrowers and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrowers or their Affiliates. To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Law, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Agent, Issuing Bank and
any Lender or any of their Affiliates with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated
by a Loan Document.


 






     84


     


    

 


13.12.   Confidentiality.
Each of Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and its and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives
(provided they are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to
the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates;
(c) to the extent required by applicable Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in
connection with any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions
substantially the same as this Section, to any potential or actual transferee of any interest in a Loan Document or any actual or prospective
party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product or to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference
to an Obligor or Obligor’s obligations; (g) with the consent of Borrower Agent; or (h) to the extent such Information
(i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) is available to Agent, any Lender,
Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Agent may publish or disseminate general information concerning this credit facility, and may use Borrowers’ logos, trademarks or
product photographs in advertising materials. As used herein, “Information” means all information received from an
Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or its business, that is identified as confidential when delivered. Each Person required to maintain
the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises a degree of care similar
to that accorded its own confidential information. Agent acknowledges that (i) Information may include material non-public information;
(ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of such information; and (iii) it will handle the material non-public
information in accordance with applicable Law.


 


13.13.   Reserved.


 


13.14.   GOVERNING
LAW. UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL CLAIMS, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES EXCEPT FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS.


 


13.15.   Consent
to Forum.


 


13.15.1.   Forum.
EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN OR WITH JURISDICTION OVER
COOK COUNTY, ILLINOIS AND/OR THE NORTHER DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS (EASTERN DIVISION), IN ANY DISPUTE, ACTION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING
RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY DISPUTE, ACTION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT
SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE
REGARDING ANY SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 13.4.1.
A final judgment in any proceeding of any such court shall be conclusive and may be enforced in
other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or any other manner provided by applicable Law.


 






     85


     


    

 


13.15.2.   Other
Jurisdictions. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Obligor in any other court,
nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to preclude enforcement by Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.


 


13.16.   Waivers
by Borrowers. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Borrower waives (a) the right to trial by jury (which each
Secured Party hereby also waives) in any proceeding or dispute of any kind relating in any way to any Loan Documents, Obligations or Collateral;
(b) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension
or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent on which
a Borrower may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything Agent may do in this regard; (c) notice prior to taking possession
or control of any Collateral; (d) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing Agent to exercise any
rights or remedies; (e) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (f) any claim against an Indemnitee,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
in any way relating to any enforcement action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating thereto; and (g) notice of acceptance
hereof. Each Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders entering
into this Agreement and that they are relying upon the foregoing in their dealings with Borrowers. Each Borrower has reviewed the foregoing
waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal
counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.


 


13.17.   PATRIOT
Act Notice. Agent and Lenders hereby notify Borrowers that pursuant to the PATRIOT Act, Agent and Lenders are required to obtain,
verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that
will allow Agent and Lenders to identify it in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. Agent and Lenders will also require information regarding
each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Borrowers’ management and owners, such as legal name, address,
social security number and date of birth. Borrowers shall, promptly upon request, provide all documentation and other information as Agent,
Issuing Bank or any Lender may request from time to time in order to comply with any obligations under “know your customer,”
anti-money laundering or other requirements of applicable Law.


 


13.18.   NO
ORAL AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS
BETWEEN THE PARTIES.




 






     86


     


    

 


13.19.   Reserved.


 


13.20.   Acknowledgment
and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any
other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties, each party hereto (including each Secured Party) acknowledges that, with
respect to any Secured Party that is an Affected Financial Institution, any liability of such Secured Party arising under a Loan Document,
to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority,
and each party hereto agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by, (a) the application of any Write-Down and
Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liability which may be payable to it by such Secured Party; and (b) the
effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial
Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or
other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under any Loan Document;
or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers.


 


13.21.   EFFECT
OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT; REAFFIRMATION OF OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. Upon execution and delivery
of this Agreement by the parties hereto and satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.1, the Original
Loan Agreement (and, except as otherwise set forth in the following proviso, all obligations and rights of any party thereunder), shall
be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement; provided however, that the obligation to repay the “Obligations”
arising under (and as defined in) the Original Loan Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the Liens and security interests
securing payment and performance thereof shall be continuing but shall now be governed by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and such Liens and security interests shall secure the Obligations. All Loan Documents that were executed and delivered in connection
with the Original Loan Agreement (as such Loan Documents are amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified), are hereby reaffirmed
and shall continue in full force and effect; provided that all references in such Loan Documents to the Original Loan Agreement
shall, without anything further, be deemed to refer to this Agreement (as may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified). Each borrower acknowledges and agrees that the “Obligations” evidenced by (and as defined in) the Original
Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents executed in connection with the Original Loan Agreement (as such Loan Documents are amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified) have not been novated or satisfied but instead have become part of the Obligations governed by the
terms of this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents. No action or inaction by agent or any other secured party prior to the date
of this Agreement shall be deemed to have established a course of conduct among the parties hereto. All rights, duties and obligations
of the parties to this Agreement shall be solely as set forth in this Agreement, AS APPLICABLE, and the other Loan Documents.


 


13.22.   Keepwell.
At such time as any Borrower is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the guarantee by any Guarantor that is not then an “eligible
contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act (a “Specified Obligor”) or the grant of a security interest
under the Loan Documents by any such Specified Obligor, in either case, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, then such
Obligor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Obligor
with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Obligor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under
the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be
hereby incurred without rendering Borrowers’ obligations and undertakings under this Section 13.22 voidable under applicable
bankruptcy or insolvency laws, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of Borrowers under this Section shall
remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Borrowers intend this Section
to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of
