Section
1.       Amendment of Credit Agreement. Subject to satisfaction of the of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section 2 hereof, effective as of May 14, 2017 (as defined below), the Credit Agreement is hereby amended

“(a)
Setup Fee. The Borrower shall pay to DBNY a Setup Fee in an amount and at the time as set forth in the fee letter between
DBNY and the Borrower dated as of May 12, 2017 (the “May 2017 Fee Letter”). The Borrower agrees that, once
paid, the fees or any part thereof payable hereunder are irrevocable and non-refundable under any circumstances. The May 2017
Fee Letter supersedes all prior fee letters, which remain valid and enforceable until the execution of the May 2017 Fee Letter.”


 


(b)       Section
3.04(a) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing any reference therein to Weighted Average Rate with LIBOR Rate.


 






     


     

    

 


(c)       Section
3.04(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing any reference therein to Weighted Average Rate with LIBOR Rate.


 


(d)       Section
3.04(c) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:


 


“(c)      Compensation.
The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis
for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Loans, but
excluding in any event the loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default
by such Lender) a Borrowing of Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Borrowing Request (whether or not withdrawn
by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.04(b)(i) (Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.)), (ii) if any prepayment,
repayment or conversion of any of its Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto,

to Section 3.04(b)(ii) (Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.). A Lender’s basis for requesting compensation pursuant to this
Section 3.04(c) and a Lender’s calculation of the amount thereof shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and
binding on the Borrower. With respect to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the compensation owed to the relevant
Lender shall be equal to (x) the product of (1) the amount of the applicable Loans made by the relevant Lender, (2) the excess

a period equal to the number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable to such Loans and (3) the number of days remaining
in the Interest Period applicable to such Loans, divided by (y) 360.”
