Lender has an alternative domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate for which such Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts would not be
required to be paid.

hereunder).


 


SECTION

Note (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall conclusively indicate, absent manifest error, inter alia,
the date of, the outstanding principal amount of, and the interest rate applicable to, the Loans evidenced thereby. Such notations shall,
to the extent not inconsistent with notations made by Administrative Agent in the Register, be conclusive and binding on each Credit
Party absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect
any Obligations of any Credit Party. Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 12.06(b)(iv), and a
subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder,

Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrowers to repay
(with applicable interest) the Loans made to Borrowers by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


SECTION
2.06 Multiple Borrowers.


 


(a)
It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated hereunder and under the Notes,
as co-borrowers under this Agreement and as co-makers of the Notes, in respect of the principal of and interest on, and all other amounts
owing in respect of, the Loans and the Notes. Each Borrower hereby (i) jointly and severally and irrevocably and unconditionally accepts,
not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers with respect to the payment and
performance of all of the Obligations hereunder, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all such Obligations shall be the
joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them and that the obligations of each Borrower
hereunder shall be unconditional irrespective of any circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge
or defense of a guarantor or surety, and (ii) further agrees that if any such Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated
maturity, as mandatory prepayment or cash collateralization, by acceleration or otherwise), Borrowers will, jointly and severally, promptly
pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the delivery of funds to any Borrower
under this Agreement shall constitute valuable consideration and reasonably equivalent value to all Borrowers for the purpose of binding
them and their assets on a joint and several basis for the Obligations hereunder.


 


(b)
Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim
which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers or any other Person directly or contingently liable for the
Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to any other Borrowers’ property (including any property which is Collateral
for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until termination of this Agreement and repayment
in full of the Obligations.


 


(c)
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the obligations of each Borrower under the Credit Documents at any time shall
be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the obligations of such Borrower under the Credit Documents not constituting a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Debtor Relief Laws.


 


(d)
If any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under any Credit Document, each Borrower hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees it will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Credit Party so as to maximize
the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in connection with the Credit Documents.


 




    	39



     


    

 


(e)
Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision contained herein or in any other Credit Document, if a “secured creditor”
(as that term is defined under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada)) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
not to include a Person to whom obligations are owed on a joint and several basis, then such Person’s Obligations (and the Obligations
of each other Canadian Credit Party), to the extent such Obligations are secured, shall be several obligations and not joint and several
obligations.


 


(f)
This Section 2.06 is intended solely to preserve the rights of Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder and
under the other Credit Document to the maximum extent that would not cause the Obligations or the Secured Obligations (as defined in
the Security Agreement) of each Borrower to be subject to avoidance or unenforceability under any Debtor Relief Laws, and neither any
Borrower nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section 2.06 as against Administrative Agent or any other
Secured Party that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Bankruptcy Code or such other laws.


 


SECTION
2.07 Borrower Representative. Each Borrower, by its execution of this Agreement, irrevocably appoints Parent to act on its
behalf as its agent in relation to the Credit Documents and irrevocably authorizes:


 


(a)
Parent, on any Borrower’s behalf, to supply all information concerning itself contemplated by this Agreement to Administrative
Agent and Lenders and to give and receive all notices, instructions and other communications, to sign all certificates, to make such
agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements, variations and waivers capable of being given, made or effected by any
Borrower, notwithstanding that they may affect such Borrower, without further reference to or the consent of such Borrower; and


 


(b)
Administrative Agent and Lenders to give any notice, demand or other communication to such Borrower pursuant to the Credit Documents
to Parent,


 


and
in each case such Borrower shall be bound as though such Borrower itself had given the notices and instructions or executed or made the
agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations, or received the relevant notice, demand or other communication.


 


Every
act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice, instruction or other communication
given or made by Parent or given to Parent under any Credit Document on behalf of another Borrower (whether or not known to any other
Borrower and whether occurring before or after such other Borrower became a Borrower under any Credit Document) shall be binding for
all purposes on such Borrower as if such Borrower had expressly agreed, executed, made, given or concurred with it or received the relevant
notice, demand or other communication. In the event of any conflict between any notices or other communications of Parent and any other
Borrower, those of Parent shall prevail.


 


SECTION
2.08 Interest.


 


(a)
The unpaid principal amount of the Loans shall bear interest from the Closing Date at a rate per annum that shall at all times, subject
to Section 2.08(c), be the Applicable Rate. Interest on the Loans shall accrue from and including the Closing Date to the date
of any repayment in full thereof.


 




    	40



     


    

 


(b)
On each Payment Date, interest on the Loans shall be due and payable monthly in cash in arrears.


 


(c)
From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the election of Administrative Agent and Required
Lenders and upon notice by Administrative Agent to Parent, Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all Loans and all
other unpaid Obligations, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, at the Default Rate, which Default Rate shall accrue from the date
of such Event of Default (regardless of the date of notice of the imposition of the Default Rate) until waived in writing and shall be
payable on demand and in cash.


 


(d)
All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 4.05.


 


SECTION
2.09 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.


 


(a)
In the event that any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive
and binding upon all parties hereto) at any time, after the later of the Closing Date and the date such entity became a Lender hereunder,
that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to the Loans,
including as a result of any Tax (other than any (x) Indemnified Taxes, (y) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (e) of the definition
of “Excluded Taxes” or (z) Connection Income Taxes) because of any change since the Closing Date in any Applicable Law (or
in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new Applicable Law), such as, for example, without
limitation, a change in official reserve requirements (but excluding changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender),
then, and in any such event, such Lender shall promptly give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to Parent and Administrative
Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter, Borrowers
shall pay to such Lender, within 10 Business Days after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an
increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine)
as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed
that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender submitted to Parent by such Lender shall, absent manifest error,
be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto).


 


(b)
If, after the later of the Closing Date and the date such entity becomes a Lender hereunder, the adoption of any Applicable Law regarding
capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by a Lender or its parent
with any request or directive made or adopted after such date regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such authority, association, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s
or its parent’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below
that which such Lender or its parent could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration
such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then within 10 days after receipt of written demand
by such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation
as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such Applicable Law as
in effect on the Closing Date. Each Lender (on its own behalf), upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable
pursuant to this Section 2.09(b), will, as promptly as practicable upon ascertaining knowledge thereof, give written notice thereof
to Parent, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts. Without limiting
Section 12.06(e), the failure to give any such notice with respect to a particular event shall not release or diminish any of
Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.09(b) for amounts accrued or incurred after
the date of such notice with respect to such event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act and all rules, regulations, orders, requests, guidelines or directives in connection therewith and (y) all
requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision
(or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, in
each case, are deemed to have been adopted and to have taken effect after the Closing Date.


 




    	41



     


    

 


(c)
This Section 2.09 shall not apply to any demand (i) made after the 180th day following the requesting Lender’s knowledge
that it would be entitled to any such amounts or (ii) not demanded of other borrowers having similar provisions to this Section 2.09.


 


SECTION
2.10 Interest Act (Canada); Criminal Rate of Interest.


 


(a)
Notwithstanding Section 4.05 and anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, solely
to the extent that (i) a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that the calculation or determination of interest payable
by a Canadian Credit Party in respect of the Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be governed
by the laws of any province of Canada or the federal laws of Canada, or (ii) the Interest Act (Canada) otherwise applies: whenever interest
payable by a Canadian Credit Party is calculated on the basis of a period which is less than the actual number of days in a calendar
year, each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation is, for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to
such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such rate is to be ascertained and divided by the number
of days used as the basis of such calculation. Each Borrower confirms that it understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest
applicable to the Obligations based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided in this Agreement.


 


(b)
In no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46, (the “Criminal
Code Section”)) payable (whether by way of payment, collection or demand) by any Credit Party or received by any Lender under
this Agreement or any other Credit Document exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advanced” (as defined
in that section) under this Agreement or such other Credit Document lawfully permitted under that section and, if any payment, collection
or demand pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document in respect of “interest” (as defined in that section) is
determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section, then the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded by Administrative
Agent and the applicable Lender to Credit Parties with such “interest” deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect
to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the Criminal Code Section to result in
a receipt by Administrative Agent or such Lender of interest at a rate not in contravention of the Criminal Code Section, such adjustment
to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: firstly, by reducing the amounts or rates of interest required to be paid to Administrative
Agent or such Lender; and then, by reducing any fees, charges, expenses and other amounts required to be paid to Administrative Agent
or such Lender which would constitute “interest”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all such adjustments,
if Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code Section,
then the Credit Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to Administrative Agent or such Lender, to obtain reimbursement from
Administrative Agent or such Lender in an amount equal to such excess. For the purposes of this Agreement and each other Credit Document
to which any Canadian Credit Party is a party, the effective annual rate of interest payable by it shall be determined in accordance
with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the loans on the basis of annual compounding for the lawfully
permitted rate of interest and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries appointed by Administrative
Agent for the account of the Credit Parties will be conclusive for the purpose of such determination in the absence of evidence to the
contrary.

SECTION
2.11 Defaulting Lender.


 


(a)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations
hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this
Section 2.11 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.


 


(b)         
(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.11, Loans shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Commitments
which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages, and no Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any
pro rata share of any Loans required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender.
Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Loans shall be applied to reduce such type of Loans of each Lender (other than
any Defaulting Lender) holding a Commitment in accordance with their Commitment Percentages; provided that Administrative Agent
shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Administrative Agent for Defaulting Lender’s
benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees).
Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may hold and,
in its discretion, re-lend to Borrowers the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.


 


(ii)
Fees pursuant to Section 3.01(a) shall cease to accrue in favor of such Defaulting Lender.


 


(c)
A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Administrative Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote
on any matters relating to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of “Required
Lenders”, a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Loans or a Commitment Percentage; provided
that this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification
described in Section 12.01(a)(i) or 12.01(a)(iii).


 


(d)
Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.11, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation
to indemnify Administrative Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.11 shall be
deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, shall alter such obligations,
shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Administrative
Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.


 


(e)
In the event that Administrative Agent and Parent agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that
caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto.

Fees and Commitment Terminations


 


SECTION
3.01 Fees.


 


(a)
Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent and Co-Lead Arrangers such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the
amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever
(except as expressly agreed between Borrowers and Administrative Agent and Co-Lead Arrangers, as applicable).


 


(b)
Upon the occurrence of any Prepayment Event, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender holding a Loan
to be prepaid on the date of such Prepayment Event on a pro rata basis, the applicable Prepayment Premium. The Credit Parties expressly
agree that (A) the Prepayment Premium is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably
represented by counsel, (B) their agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium is a material inducement to the Lenders to make the Loans,
and (C) the Prepayment Premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders
and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by
the Lenders as a result of such Prepayment Event. The fees described in this Section 3.01(b) are in addition to any fees owed pursuant
to Section 3.01(a).


 


SECTION
3.02 Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. The Commitment shall be permanently reduced by the amount of each Loan made on the Closing
Date.

Payments


 


SECTION
4.01 Voluntary Prepayments.


 


(a)
Borrowers may make optional prepayments of the Loans in the aggregate amount of up to $100,000,000 (each, a “Permitted Partial
Optional Prepayment”). Each Permitted Partial Optional Prepayment shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 and in integral
multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Any other optional prepayment of the Loans shall be of the remaining outstanding principal
amount of the Loans; no partial prepayments other than the Permitted Partial Optional Prepayments are permitted. Parent shall provide
Administrative Agent with at least 90 days’ written notice prior to any optional prepayment (provided Administrative Agent
may allow a shorter notice period, in its discretion), which notice shall promptly be transmitted by Administrative Agent to each of
the relevant Lenders, as the case may be, and each optional prepayment shall be made on the last Business Day of a calendar month unless
Administrative Agent otherwise agrees in its discretion.


 


(b)
With respect to each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Section 4.01(a), the amounts prepaid shall be applied, so long as no
Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, first, to pay any fees and expenses of Administrative Agent and the Lenders
under the Credit Documents until paid in full, second, to any accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans on a ratable basis until
paid in full and third, to the outstanding principal balance of the Loans on a ratable basis until the Loans are paid in full.

Credit Party (other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 9.01), Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100.00%
of such Net Debt Proceeds, to be applied as set forth in Section 4.02(c). Nothing in this Section 4.02(a)(i) shall be construed

or 9.04(w)), Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100.00% of the Net Disposition Proceeds from such Disposition
in excess of $16,750,000, to be applied as set forth in Section 4.02(c); provided that the amount of Net Disposition Proceeds
retained by the Credit Parties and not applied as a prepayment of Loans under this clause (ii) shall not exceed $16,750,000 in the aggregate

Default arising from any Disposition not permitted under the terms of this Agreement.


 


(iii)
Within five Business Days of the receipt by any Real Estate SPE of any Net Disposition Proceeds from any Disposition, Borrowers shall
prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100.00% of the Net Disposition Proceeds from such Disposition, to be applied as set forth in Section

occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, the Net Disposition Proceeds shall not be required to make a mandatory prepayment
under this Section 4.02(a)(iii) in respect of such Net Disposition Proceeds to the extent such Net Disposition Proceeds, within
180 days of the Disposition generating such Net Disposition Proceeds, are (i) actually invested or reinvested in the business of the
Parent and its Subsidiaries or (ii) distributed to, or invested in, a Credit Party. Promptly after the end of such 180-day period, Parent
shall notify Administrative Agent whether such investment, reinvestment or distribution occurred, and to the extent such Net Distribution
Proceeds have not been so invested, reinvested or distributed, Borrowers shall promptly prepay the Obligations in the amount of such
Net Disposition Proceeds not so invested or reinvested. Nothing in this Section 4.02(a)(iii) shall be construed to permit or waive
any Default or Event of Default arising from any Disposition not permitted under the terms of this Agreement.


 


(iv)
Within five Business Days of the receipt by any Credit Party of any Net Casualty Proceeds from any Casualty Event in excess of $1,250,000,
Borrowers shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100.00% of such Net Casualty Proceeds in excess of $1,250,000, to be applied as
set forth in Section 4.02(c); provided that Borrowers may, at its option by notice in writing to Administrative Agent no
later than 30 days following the occurrence of the Casualty Event resulting in such Net Casualty Proceeds, apply such Net Casualty Proceeds
to the rebuilding or replacement of such damaged, destroyed or condemned assets or property so long as such Net Casualty Proceeds are
in fact used to commence the rebuilding or replacement of the damaged, destroyed or condemned assets or property within twelve months
following the receipt of such Net Casualty Proceeds, with the amount of Net Casualty Proceeds unused after such period to be applied
as set forth in Section 4.02(c); provided that the amount of Net Casualty Proceeds not applied as a prepayment of Loans
under this clause (iii) as result of the dollar threshold set forth above shall not exceed $1,250,000 in the aggregate during the immediately
preceding 12-month period. Nothing in this Section 4.02(a)(iv) shall be construed to permit or waive any Default or Event of Default

(v)
Within five Business Days of the receipt by any Credit Party of any Net Equity Proceeds from the issuance of any Capital Stock (other
than Excluded Issuances) in excess of $1,250,000, Borrowers shall, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, prepay the
Loans in an amount equal to 100.00% of such Net Equity Proceeds in excess of $1,250,000, to be applied as set forth in Section 4.02(c).
Nothing in this Section 4.02(a)(v) shall be construed to permit or waive any Default or Event of Default arising, directly or
indirectly, from any such issuance of Capital Stock.


 


(vi)
Within five Business Days of the receipt by any Credit Party of any proceeds from any Extraordinary Receipts in excess of $6,250,000,
Borrowers shall, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100.00% of such Extraordinary
Receipts in excess of $6,250,000, to be applied as set forth in Section 4.02(c); provided that the amount of Extraordinary
Receipts not applied as a prepayment of Loans under this clause (v) as result of the dollar threshold set forth above shall not exceed
$6,250,000 in the aggregate during the immediately preceding twelve-month period. Nothing in this Section 4.02(a)(vi) shall be
construed to permit or waive any Default or Event of Default arising, directly or indirectly, from any event or circumstance giving rise
to any Extraordinary Receipts.


 


(vii)
Immediately upon any acceleration of the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 10.02, Borrowers shall repay all the Loans, unless
only a portion of all the Loans is so accelerated (in which case the portion so accelerated shall be repaid).


 


(b)
Option to Decline Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section
4.02(a) may be declined in whole or in part by any Lender without prejudice to such Lender’s rights hereunder to accept or
decline any future payments in respect of any mandatory prepayment. Borrowers shall notify Administrative Agent on or before receipt
of any proceeds giving rise to each such mandatory prepayment. If a Lender chooses not to accept payment in respect of a mandatory prepayment,
in whole or in part, the other Lenders that accept such mandatory prepayment shall have the option to share such proceeds on a pro rata
basis (and if declined by all Lenders, such declined proceeds shall be retained by Borrowers). Each Lender shall have until 11:00 am
on the Business Day immediately preceding the Business Day on which such prepayment is due to inform Administrative Agent of its decision
to decline such prepayment (and any election by a Lender delivered prior to such time can be rescinded by such Lender at its discretion
until such time). Administrative Agent shall endeavor to inform Parent of the decision of the Lenders on or before the Business Day on
which such prepayment is due, but the failure to inform Parent shall not result in a breach of this Agreement or elimination of the requirement
of Borrowers to make such prepayment.


 


(c)
Application of Payments. With respect to each prepayment of the Loans required by Section 4.02(a), the amounts prepaid
shall be applied, so long as no Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, first to pay any fees and expenses of
Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Credit Documents until paid in full, second to any accrued and unpaid interest
on the Loans until paid in full and thereafter to the outstanding principal on the Loans in the inverse order of maturity until the Loans
are paid in full.


 


(d)
Application of Collateral Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 4.01 or this Section 4.02,
all proceeds of Collateral received by Administrative Agent or any other Person pursuant to the exercise of remedies against the Collateral,
and all payments received upon and after the acceleration of any of the Obligations (an “Application Event”) shall
be applied as follows (subject to adjustments pursuant to any agreements entered into among the Lenders):


 




    	46



     


    

 


(i)
first, to pay any costs and expenses of Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) and fees then due to Administrative
Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) under the Credit Documents, including any indemnities then due to Administrative Agent
(in its capacity as Administrative Agent) under the Credit Documents, until paid in full,


 


(ii)
second, to pay any fees and premiums then due to Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) under the Credit
Documents until paid in full,


 


(iii)
third, ratably to pay any costs, expense reimbursements, fees or premiums of Lenders and indemnities then due to any of the Lenders
under the Credit Documents until paid in full,


 


(iv)
fourth, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the outstanding Loans until paid in full,


 


(v)
fifth, ratably to pay the outstanding principal balance of the Loans in the inverse order of maturity until the Loans are paid
in full,


 


(vi)
sixth, to pay any other Obligations, and


 


(vii)
seventh, to Borrowers or such other Person entitled thereto under Applicable Law.


 


SECTION
4.03 Payment of Obligations; Method and Place of Payment.


 


(a)
The obligations of each Credit Party hereunder and under each other Credit Document are not subject to counterclaim, set-off, rights
of rescission, or any other defense. Subject to Section 4.03(b), and except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments
under any Credit Document shall be made by Borrowers, without set-off, rights of rescission, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to
Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Secured Parties entitled thereto, not later than 5:00 p.m. on the date when due and
shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed
on the same day (if payment was actually received by Administrative Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., on such day) like funds relating to the
payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Secured Parties entitled thereto.


 


(b)
For purposes of computing interest or fees, any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 5:00 p.m., shall be deemed to
have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that
is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal,
interest shall continue to accrue during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.


 


(c)
Borrowers shall make each payment under any Credit Document by wire transfer to such deposit account as Administrative Agent shall notify
Parent in writing from time to time within a reasonable time prior to such payment.


 


(d)
Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Parent prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent
for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrowers will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrowers have
made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders,
as the case may be, the amount due. With respect to any payment that Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders hereunder
as to which Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following
applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (i) Borrowers have not in fact made such payment;
(ii) Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by Borrowers (whether or not then owed); or (iii) Administrative
Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment, then each applicable Lender severally agrees to repay to Administrative
Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day

(e)
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by any Borrower shall be made for
account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (ii)
each payment of interest on Loans by any Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts

SECTION
4.04 Taxes.


 


(a)
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction
or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion
of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then
the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted
or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the
sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made
(including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.04) the applicable Recipient
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.


 


(b)
The Credit Parties shall timely pay, and shall authorize Administrative Agent to pay in their name, to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Credit Party, the Credit Parties shall furnish to
Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 12.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment
thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.


 


(c)
The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of
any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.04)
payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Parent by a Lender (with a
copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.


 


(d)
Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable
to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes
and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply
with the provisions of Section 12.06(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable
to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable
expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any
time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source
against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 4.04(d).


 




    	48



     


    

 


(e)
As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.04,
such Credit Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative
Agent.


 


(f)
Status of Lenders.


 


(i)
Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document
shall deliver to Parent and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Parent or Administrative Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Parent or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Parent or Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Parent or Administrative Agent as will
enable Parent or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such
documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.04(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall
not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any
material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.


 


(ii)
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,


 


(A)
any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Parent and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes
a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Parent or Administrative 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 Parent and Administrative Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Parent or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:


 


(1)
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 Credit Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing
an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and
(y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing
an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income”
article of such tax treaty;


 




    	49



     


    

 


(2)
executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;


 


(3)
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a
certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code,
a “10 percent shareholder” of Parent 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 in customary form consistent with the Model Credit Agreement Provisions
of the Loan Syndications and Trading Association (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of
IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or


 


(4)
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 or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, or other certification documents from each
beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners
of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate
on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;


 


(C)
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Parent and Administrative Agent (in such number of
copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Parent or Administrative Agent), 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 Parent or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding
or deduction required to be made; and


 


(D)
if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of
the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Parent and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at
such time or times reasonably requested by Parent or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including
as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Parent or Administrative
Agent as may be necessary for Parent and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such
Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.


 


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 Parent and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)
If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund or credit of any Taxes as to which
it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.04 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section
4.04), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments
made under this Section 4.04 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority
with respect to such refund or credit). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified
party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 4.04(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.04(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any
amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 4.04(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less
favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise
to such refund or credit had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts
with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 4.04(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to
make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party
or any other Person.


 


(h)
Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.04 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or
any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any
Credit Document.


 


SECTION
4.05 Computations of Interest and Fees. All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days occurring
during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 365-366 days, as applicable, and with respect to
the Incremental Term Loans, all interest and fees shall be computed as set forth in the Incremental Term Loan Agreement. Payments due
on a day that is not a Business Day shall (except as otherwise required by) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension
of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment. Each determination by Administrative Agent
of an interest rate and Fees hereunder shall be presumptive evidence of the correctness of such rates and Fees, absent manifest error.

Guarantee


 


SECTION
6.01 Guarantee.


 


(a)
To induce the Lenders to make the Loans and each other Secured Party to make credit available to or for the benefit of one or more Credit
Parties, each Guarantor party to this Agreement hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees,
as primary Credit Party and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason
of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise in accordance with any Credit Document, of all the Obligations of Borrowers and of
the other Guarantors whether existing on the Closing Date or hereinafter incurred or created (the “Guarantor Obligations”,
which in no event shall include any Excluded Hedging Obligations). The Guarantor Obligations shall include interest accruing at the then
applicable rate provided herein after the maturity thereof and interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided herein after the
commencement of any Insolvency Event relating to any Borrower or any other Credit Party, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition
interest is allowed or allowable in such proceeding, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, or now
existing or hereafter incurred, which may arise under, out of, or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, in
each case whether on account of principal, interest, reimbursement obligations, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise (including
all fees and disbursements of counsel and other advisors retained by, or for the benefit of, Administrative Agent or to the other Secured
Parties that are required to be paid by Borrowers pursuant to the terms of any of the foregoing agreements) and all obligations and liabilities
of such Guarantor that arise or may arise under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document to which such Guarantor
is a party, in each case whether on account of guarantee obligations, reimbursement obligations, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or
otherwise (including all fees and disbursements of counsel and other advisors retained by, or for the benefit of, Administrative Agent
or the other Secured Parties that are required to be paid by such Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any such Credit Document) whether
or not claims for any such amounts are allowed or allowable in any Insolvency Event. Each Guarantor’s guarantee hereunder constitutes
a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will derive a material benefit, directly or indirectly,
from the making of the Loans to Borrowers hereunder.


 


(b)
Any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount for
which any Guarantor shall be liable under this guarantee shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without
rendering the obligations of such Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, as it relates to such Guarantor, subject
to avoidance under Applicable Laws relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance

(d)
This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date occurs, notwithstanding that from time to time during
the term of this Agreement no Guarantor Obligations may be outstanding.


 


(e)
No payment made by any Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Party
from any Borrower, any Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation
or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release
or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, and each Guarantor shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than
any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect
of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Termination
Date occurs.


 


SECTION
6.02 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law any and all
notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party
upon this Agreement or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Article VI. The Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively
be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Article VI
and all dealings between any Borrower and any Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall
be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Article VI. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon
any Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right
such Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire to revoke, rescind, terminate or limit (except as expressly provided herein) the guarantee
set forth in this Article VI or any of its obligations hereunder. Each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, that the guarantee set forth in this Article VI shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity, enforceability or avoidability of this Agreement or any other
Credit Document, any of the Guarantor Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect
thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of
payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or any other Person against any Secured
Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower or any Guarantor) which constitutes,
or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Borrowers with respect to any Obligations, or of such Guarantor
under this guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies
hereunder against any Guarantor, any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue
such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security
or guarantee for the Guarantor Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Secured Party to make
any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Borrower,
any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor
of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available
as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement
and continuance of any legal proceedings.

case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guarantor Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored
or returned by any Secured Party, including upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, examinership, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization
of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, examiner, intervenor or conservator of, or
trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such
payments had not been made.


 


SECTION

of the Lenders, without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars in accordance with Section 4.03(c).

Document, if a “secured creditor” (as that term is defined under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada)) is determined

Obligations (and the Obligations of each other Canadian Credit Party), to the extent such Obligations are secured, shall be several obligations
and not joint and several obligations.

of, such qualification; no Plan is insolvent or in reorganization or in endangered or critical status within the meaning of Section 432
of the Code or Section 4241 or 4245 of Title IV of ERISA (or is reasonably expected to be insolvent or in reorganization), and no written

any ERISA Affiliate; no Pension Plan is, or is reasonably expected to be, in “at risk” status (as defined in Section 430
of the Code or Section 303 of ERISA); no Pension Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) has failed to satisfy the minimum funding standard

of ERISA), or is reasonably expected to do so, and no Pension Plan has applied for or received a waiver of the minimum funding standard
or an extension of any amortization period within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302, 303 or 304 of ERISA; no failure

‎aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Credit Party nor any Subsidiary has incurred ‎any material obligation
in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Plan in an amount of liability that would be reasonably expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. ‎The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign
Plan ‎that is funded, determined as of the end of the most recently ended fiscal year of the Credit Party or ‎Subsidiary, as
applicable, on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did ‎not exceed the current value of the property
of such Foreign Plan by aa amount that would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE
XI

Administrative Agents


 


SECTION
11.01 Appointment. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) hereby appoints Chicago Atlantic as its Administrative
Agent under and for purposes of each Credit Document, and hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to act on behalf of such Lender (or
if applicable, each other Secured Party) under each Credit Document, and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Lenders
pursuant to the terms of the Credit Documents received from time to time by Administrative Agent, to exercise such powers hereunder and
thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers
as may be incidental thereto. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) hereby designates and appoints Administrative
Agent as the agent of such Lender. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall
not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or other
Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement
or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the
contrary notwithstanding, each Credit Party, Administrative Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall
have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Security Agreement or any other Security Documents,
it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent, on behalf
of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof, and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised
solely by Administrative Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a
public or private sale or other disposition, Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such
Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but
not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing)
shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral
sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations (including Obligations owed to any other Secured Party) as a credit
on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.


 


For
the purposes of holding any hypothec granted pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure the prompt payment and performance
of any and all Obligations by any Credit Party, each of the Lenders (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of Administrative
Agent, to act as the hypothecary representative of the present and future creditors as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code
of Quebec (in such capacity, the “Hypothecary Representative”), and to enter into, to take and to hold on their behalf,
and for their benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Hypothecary Representative under
any related deed of hypothec. The Hypothecary Representative shall: (i) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise,
except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Hypothecary Representative
pursuant to any such deed of hypothec and applicable law, and (ii) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect
to Administrative Agent mutatis mutandis, including all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and
indemnification by the Lenders and the Credit Parties. Any Person who becomes a Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party)
shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Acceptance, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Hypothecary Representative
as the Person acting as hypothecary representative holding the aforesaid hypothecs as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date
it becomes a Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party), all actions taken by the Hypothecary Representative in such capacity.
The substitution of Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11 also constitutes the substitution of the
Hypothecary Representative. Administrative Agent, acting as the Hypothecary Representative, shall have the same rights, powers, immunities,
indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of Administrative Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis
mutandis to Administrative Agent acting as Hypothecary Representative.

by or through agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with
reasonable care.


 


SECTION
11.03 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in
fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection
with this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any recitals, statements, representations
or warranties made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with,
this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of
this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for any failure of any Credit Party or other Person to perform its obligations hereunder
or thereunder. Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties,
books or records of any Credit Party. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain,
inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Competitors. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Administrative Agent shall not ‎(a) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant
or prospective Lender or Participant is a Competitor or (b) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation
of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any ‎Competitor.


 


SECTION
11.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying,
upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement,
order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Credit Parties), independent accountants
and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any note as the owner thereof
for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Administrative Agent.
Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Credit Document
unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all or other requisite
Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and
expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall in all cases
be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents in accordance with a
request of Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to
act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans and all other Secured Parties.


 




    	96



     


    

 


SECTION
11.05 Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default
or Event of Default hereunder, except with respect to any Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal, interest and fees
required to be paid to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender
or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice
of default”. In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a notice, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the
Lenders. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed
by Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement);
provided that unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not
be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as Administrative
Agent shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Secured Parties.


 


SECTION
11.06 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) expressly
acknowledges that neither Administrative Agent, Co-Lead Arrangers, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys in fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by Administrative Agent or any Co-Arranger
hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Credit Party or any Affiliate of a Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute
any representation or warranty by Administrative Agent or any Co-Arranger to any Lender or any other Secured Party. Each Lender (and,
if applicable, each other Secured Party) represents to Administrative Agent and Co-Lead Arrangers that it has, independently and without
reliance upon Administrative Agent, any Co-Lead Arranger, any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder.
Each Lender (and, if applicable, each other Secured Party) also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative
Agent, any Co-Lead Arranger, any other Lender or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations,
property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports
and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent or any Co-Arranger hereunder, Administrative
Agent and Co-Lead Arrangers shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any other Secured Party with any credit
or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness
of any Credit Party or any Affiliate of a Credit Party that may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or Affiliates.


 




    	97



     


    

 


SECTION
11.07 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed
by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective Total
Credit Exposure in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 11.07 (or, if indemnification is sought
after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with
such Total Credit Exposure immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the
payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the
Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under or in connection with any
of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision
of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
The agreements in this Section 11.07 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.


 


SECTION
11.08 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits
from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party as though Administrative Agent were not Administrative Agent.
With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender”,
“Lenders”, “Secured Party” and “Secured Parties” shall include Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity.


 


SECTION
11.09 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 20 days’ notice to the
Lenders and Borrowers. If Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent in its applicable capacity under this Agreement and
the other Credit Documents, then Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent, which successor agent shall, unless an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, be subject to approval by Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Administrative Agent in its applicable
capacity, and the term “Administrative Agent” means such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and
the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent in its applicable capacity shall be terminated,
without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any
holders of the Loans. If no applicable successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent in its applicable capacity by
the date that is 20 days following such retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, such retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Administrative
Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Chicago Atlantic may resign as Administrative Agent, and choose a successor for such capacity, without notice to, or the
consent of, Lenders (including Required Lenders) or any Credit Party if such successor is an Affiliate of Chicago Atlantic, and the Lenders
and Borrowers are deemed to have consented to any such resignation and choice of successor prior to the effectiveness of this sentence.


 


SECTION
11.10 Administrative Agent Generally. Except as expressly set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities
hereunder in its capacity as such. No Co-Lead Arranger shall have any obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement
or any other Credit Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the
benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.


 




    	98



     


    

 


SECTION
11.11 Restrictions on Actions by Secured Parties; Sharing of Payments.


 


(a)
Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Administrative Agent, and that it shall, to the
extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of Administrative Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts
owing by such Lender to any Credit Party or any deposit accounts of any Credit Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each
of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Administrative Agent, take or cause
to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Credit Document against any
Credit Party or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.


 


(b)
Subject to Section 12.08(a), if, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise,
any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such
Lender from Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Administrative Agent in excess of such
Lender’s pro rata share of all such distributions by Administrative Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to
Administrative Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Administrative Agent, or in immediately
available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations
owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their
pro rata shares; provided that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered
from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase
price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party
is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.


 


(c)
The benefit of the provisions of the Credit Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend
to and be available to any Secured Party that is not Administrative Agent or a Lender as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured
Party agrees, as among Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by
Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) this Article
XI, including Sections 11.11(a) and (b), and the decisions and actions of Administrative Agent and Required Lenders
(or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) to the same extent a Lender is bound;
provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) except as set forth specifically herein, Administrative Agent and each Lender
shall be entitled to act in its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation
to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise
affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (ii) except as
specifically set forth herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard
with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Credit Document.


 


(d)
Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to
any Lender, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by Borrowers at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount,
then in any such event, such Lender receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender 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 it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative
Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation. Each Lender irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “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. Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender promptly upon determining
that any payment made to such Lender comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.


 




    	99



     


    

 


SECTION
11.12 Agency for Perfection. Administrative Agent hereby appoints each other Secured Party as its agent and as sub-agent for the
other Secured Parties (and each Secured Party hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting all Liens with respect to
the Collateral, including with respect to assets which, in accordance with Article VIII or Article IX, as applicable, of
the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable state can be perfected only by possession or control. Should any Secured Party obtain possession
or control of any such Collateral, such Secured Party shall notify Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s
request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Administrative Agent and take such other actions as agent
or sub-agent in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized or directed
by Administrative Agent.


 


SECTION
11.13 Enforcement by Administrative Agent. All rights of action

any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any such other documents and (d) to pay,
indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, Administrative Agent, each Co-Arranger and their respective Related Parties from and against

provided that the Credit Parties shall not have any obligation hereunder to Administrative Agent, any Co-Lead Arranger or any
Lender nor any of their Related Parties with respect to Indemnified Liabilities (i) to the extent that any such claimed Indemnified Liability

SECTION
12.06 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments; Replacement of Lender.


 


(a)
The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) except as set forth in Section 9.03, no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer
by any Credit Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations
hereunder except in accordance with this Section 12.06. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to
confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the
extent provided in Section 12.06(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Administrative
Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, (x) any Lender shall be permitted to pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of such Lender’s
rights hereunder including any Loans (without the consent of, or notice to or any other action by, any other party hereto) to secure
the obligations of such Lender or any of its Affiliates to any Person providing any loan, letter of credit or other extension of credit
to or for the account of such Lender or any of its Affiliates and any agent, trustee or representative of such Person and (y) Administrative
Agent shall be permitted to pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of their respective rights hereunder or under the
other Credit Documents, including rights to payment (without the consent of, or notice to or any other action by, any other party hereto),
to secure the obligations of Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates to any Person providing any loan, letter of credit or other
extension of credit to or for the account of Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates and any agent, trustee or representative of
such Person.


 


(b)         
(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 12.06(b)(ii), any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments or the Loans at the time owing to it)
to a Person that is not a Competitor (or, during the continuance of any Event of Default, to any Person) with the prior written consent
(which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of Administrative Agent and Parent; provided
that (x) no consent of Administrative Agent or Parent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, a Controlled Affiliate of
a Lender or an Approved Fund and the withholding of consent by Administrative Agent to an assignment to any Affiliate of any Borrower
(except as expressly permitted hereunder) shall be deemed to be not unreasonable; provided, further, that no consent of
Parent shall be needed for any assignment occurring during the continuance of an Event of Default; and (y) Parent shall be deemed to
have consented to any assignment pursuant to the terms of this Section 12.06 unless it shall object thereto by written notice
to Administrative Agent within ten days after having received notice thereof.


 


(ii)
Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:


 


(A)
except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, a Controlled Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire
remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each
such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents, which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed; provided, however, that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Controlled Affiliates
or related Approved Funds and contemporaneous assignments by a single assignor to Controlled Affiliates or related Approved Funds shall
be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirement stated above;


 


(B)
each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement as to the Loans so assigned; provided that this paragraph shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment
of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect its Loans;


 




    	105



     


    

 


(C)
the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing
and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that only one such fee shall be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to
two or more Approved Funds;


 


(D)
the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and


 


(E)
unless consented to by Lenders, no assignment may be made to a Credit Party or an Affiliate of a Credit Party other than George P. Archos
or a Person wholly-owned by George P. Archos; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of the Loans that
may be held by George P. Archos and such Affiliates may not exceed $5,000,000 unless Lenders otherwise consent.


 


(iii)
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 12.06(b)(v), from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of
an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall
cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.09, 4.04 and 12.05).
Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.06
shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance
with Section 12.06(c).


 


(iv)
Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose on behalf of Borrowers (but not as an agent, fiduciary or for any other purposes), shall
maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register in the United States for the recordation of the names
and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant
to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, the Register shall contain the name and address of
Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall
be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Credit Parties, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name
is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice
to the contrary. The Register, as in effect at the close of business on the preceding Business Day, shall be available for inspection
by Parent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.


 


(v)
Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s
completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and any written consent to such assignment
required by Section 12.06(b)(i), Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained
therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless and until it has been recorded in the
Register as provided in this Section 12.06.


 




    	106



     


    

 


(c)          (i)
Any Lender may, without the consent of Parent or Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities that
are not, unless an Event of Default exists, a Competitor (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided
that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible
to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) Borrowers, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
and (D) no such Participant may be a Credit Party or an Affiliate of a Credit Party. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a
Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and, as between
such Lender, the Credit Parties, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders, to approve any amendment, modification, consent or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, such agreement
or instrument may provide that (x) if such Participant is an Affiliate of such Lender, the Participant may, as between itself and such
Lender (but not as between such Lender, Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties and the other Lenders), approve any amendment, modification,
consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (y) such Lender will not, without the consent of
the Participant agree to any amendment, modification, consent or waiver described in clause (i) of the first proviso to Section 12.01.
Subject to Section 12.06(c)(ii), each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.08,
2.09 and 4.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section
12.06(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08(a) as though
it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.08(a) as though it were a Lender.


 


(ii)
A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.08, 2.09 or 4.04 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, (A) unless the sale of the participation
to such Participant is made with Parent’s prior written consent, and (B) except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater
payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant that would
be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.04(b) that are greater than the applicable
Lender unless Parent is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrowers,
to comply with Section 4.04(a) and Section 4.04(c) as though it were a Lender.


 


(iii)
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain at one of
its offices in the United States a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and
stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant
Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Lender shall treat each
person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement. No Lender
shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any
information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any
Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter
of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance
of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.


 


(d)
Nothing herein is intended to prevent, impair, limit or otherwise restrict the ability of a Lender to collaterally assign or pledge all
or any portion of its interests in the Loans and the other rights and benefits under the Credit Documents to an unaffiliated third party
lender of such Lender (each such Person, a “Collateral Assignee”); provided that unless and until Parent receives
notification from a Collateral Assignee of such assignment directing payments to be made to such Collateral Assignee, any payment made
by Borrowers for the benefit of such Lender in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents shall satisfy Borrowers’ obligations
thereunder to the extent of such payment. Any such Collateral Assignee, upon foreclosure of its security interests in the Loans pursuant
to the terms of such assignment and in accordance with Applicable Law, shall succeed to all the interests of or shall be deemed to be
a Lender, with all the rights and benefits afforded thereby, and such transfer shall not be deemed to be a transfer for purposes of and
otherwise subject to the provisions of this Section 12.06. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall remain responsible for
all obligations and liabilities arising hereunder or under any other Credit Document, and, except as otherwise expressly set forth in
any applicable pledge or assignment, nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to impose any obligations upon or constitute an
assumption by a Collateral Assignee thereof.


 




    	107



     


    

 


(e)           (i)
If any Lender shall give notice to Parent that such Lender is entitled to receive and is requesting payments under Section 2.09 or
requires Borrowers to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.04 (any such Lender, an “Increased Cost Lender”),
or if such Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then Borrowers may, after (solely in the case of an Increased Cost
Lender) giving such Increased Cost Lender a reasonable opportunity to mitigate pursuant to Section 2.02, if applicable, at its
sole expense and effort, permanently replace such Increased Cost Lender, such Defaulting Lender or such Non-Consenting Lender, as the
case may be, with one or more substitute Lenders reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (each, a “Replacement Lender”),
and such Increased Cost Lender, such Defaulting Lender or such Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, shall have no right to refuse
to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace such Increased Cost Lender, such Defaulting Lender or such Non-Consenting Lender, as
the case may be, shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be (x) if such Lender is an Increased Cost
Lender, sooner than five Business Days and not be later than 10 Business Days after the date such notice is given and (if such Lender
is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, later than 90 days of receipt of notice of such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender
or a Non-Consenting Lender, provided that (i) such Increased Cost Lender, such Defaulting Lender or such Non-Consenting Lender,
as the case may be, shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding Obligations payable to it from the assignee (to
the extent of outstanding principal and accrued interests and fees) or Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (ii) Borrowers shall
first request that the other Lenders acquire and assume all of the Defaulting Lender’s Loans and its Commitment Percentage as provided
herein before proposing a Replacement Lender that is not a Lender at such time, but none of such Lenders shall be under any obligation
to do so, (iii) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law and (iv) in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming
a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have agreed to consent to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, a Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment pursuant to this Section 12.06(e)
if, prior to the effective date for such replacement, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling
Borrowers to require such assignment pursuant to this Section 12.06(e) cease to apply.


 


(ii)
Prior to the effective date of such replacement, such Increased Cost Lender, such Defaulting Lender or such Non-Consenting Lender, as
the case may be, and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance. In the event such Increased Cost
Lender, such Defaulting Lender or such Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such
Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, such Increased Cost Lender, such Defaulting Lender or such
Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement
of such Increased Cost Lender, such Defaulting Lender or such Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, shall be made in accordance
with the other terms of this Section 12.06.


 


SECTION
12.07 Pledge of Loans. The Credit Parties hereby acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates may pledge the Loans as collateral
security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates. The Credit Parties shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, cooperate with
the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect such pledges at the sole cost and expense of such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
pledge shall release the Lender party thereto from any of its obligations hereunder.

SECTION
12.08 Adjustments; Set-off.


 


(a)
If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest
thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings
of the nature referred to in Section 10.01(i), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received
by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase
for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such
other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender
to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided that if all
or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded,
and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The foregoing provisions of this
Section 12.08 shall not apply to payments made and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents.


 


(b)
After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent consented to by Administrative Agent, in addition
to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower or
any other Credit Party, any such notice being expressly waived by the Credit Parties to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon
any amount becoming due and payable by Borrowers hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off
and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding
deposit accounts used solely to fund payroll or employee benefits, or deposit accounts that consist of cash collateral subject to Permitted
Liens), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute
or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or
the account of Borrowers, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Parent and Administrative Agent after any such set-off
and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off
and application.


 


SECTION
12.09 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Credit Document may be executed in any number of counterpart signature pages,
and by the different parties on different counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts
taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement will be deemed executed by the parties hereto when each has
signed it and delivered its executed signature page to Administrative Agent and the Lenders by facsimile transmission, electronic transmission
or physical delivery. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format
shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. No party hereto or to any other Credit Document
shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or digital imaging and electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature
was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or digital imaging and electronic mail as a defense to the formation
of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.


 


The
words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Credit Document shall be
deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to
the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act,
the Illinois State Electronic Commerce Security Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION
12.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof,
and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction.


 


SECTION
12.11 Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of the Credit Parties, Administrative
Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties
by any party hereto or thereto relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit
Documents.


 


SECTION
12.12 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS (UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE THEREIN) AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF
THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.

hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance
of such action or proceeding in any such court;


 


(c)
agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified

Subsidiary of any Credit Party obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement or in connection with such Lender’s evaluation
of whether to become a Lender hereunder (“Confidential Information”) confidential in accordance with its customary
procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and (in the case of a Lender that is a bank) in accordance with safe and

Section 12.16); or

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have the right to publicize, for general marketing and related promotional
purposes, with the prior written consent of Parent, which consent cannot be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, or delayed, their relationship
to Borrowers and the fact that they have extended the Loan to Borrowers (collectively, the “Promotional Rights”) and,
in connection therewith, each Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent and each Lender a royalty free, non-exclusive limited license
to use such Borrower’s name, trade name, trademarks, logos, trade dress and other identifying intellectual property, now existing
or hereafter acquired, in any literature, advertisements, websites, promotional or other marketing materials now or hereafter used by
Administrative Agent or Lender.

Affiliates, consultants or legal or financial advisors in breach of this Agreement, (ii) is, was or becomes known on a non-confidential
basis (to the best of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s knowledge after reasonable inquiry) to or discovered by Administrative
Agent or such Lender, Lenders or any of their Affiliates, consultants or legal or financial advisors independently from communications
by or on behalf of any Credit Party, or (iii) is independently developed by Administrative Agent or a Lender without use of such confidential
information, provided that the source of such information was not known to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with (or subject
to any other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to) the relevant Credit Party.


 




    	112



     


    

 


EACH
LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION (AS DEFINED IN THIS SECTION 12.16) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT
MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING BORROWERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES,
AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE
SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.


 


ALL
INFORMATION, INCLUDING WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE CREDIT PARTIES OR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE
OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE CREDIT
PARTIES AND THEIR RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE CREDIT PARTIES AND ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL
NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.


 


SECTION
12.17 Press Releases, etc. Each party to this Agreement will not, and will not permit any of its respective Subsidiaries, directly
or indirectly, to publish any press release or other similar public disclosure or announcements (including any marketing materials) regarding
this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, or any of the Transactions, without the consent of Administrative Agent and Parent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Borrowers shall be permitted to publicly disclose the
foregoing if required to do so under U.S. and Canadian securities laws.


 


SECTION
12.18 Releases of Guarantees and Liens. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit Document,
Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Secured Party (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Secured
Party) to take any action requested by Borrowers having the effect of releasing any Liens on Collateral or borrower or guarantee obligations
(i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Credit Document or that has been consented
to in accordance with Section 12.01, (ii) under the circumstances described in Section 12.18(b), or (iii) with respect
to [***], a Florida limited liability company and [***], an Ohio limited liability company, in the event Permitted Partial Optional Prepayments
are made in the aggregate amount of $100,000,000, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from
the release of such Credit Parties and their assets from the Credit Documents and Parent shall have certified to Administrative Agent
and the Lenders, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, that after giving effect to all of the Permitted
Partial Optional Prepayments, the Credit Parties are in compliance with each Financial Performance Covenant (determined on a pro forma
basis for the Applicable Fiscal Period then most recently ended for which Borrowers have delivered the financial statements pursuant
to Section 8.01 (and a Compliance Certificate)). In the event the releases described in clause (iii) above occur, Schedule
1.01(M) shall be deemed updated to remove the Mortgaged Properties owned by the released Persons from such Schedule.


 


(b)
At such time as (i) the Loans and the other Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations) shall have been paid in full and
(ii) the Commitments have been terminated, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the
Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of Administrative Agent and each
Credit Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.


 




    	113



     


    

 


(c)
Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, Required Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to
release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any guarantee obligations pursuant to this Section 12.18.
In each case as specified in this Section 12.18, Administrative Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes Administrative
Agent to), at Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably
request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral or guarantee obligation from the assignment and security interest granted
under the Security Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents and this Section 12.18.


 


SECTION
12.19 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act
(Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify
and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other
information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. Each Credit Party agrees to
provide all such information to the Lenders upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, whether with respect to any Person who
is a Credit Party on the Closing Date or who becomes a Credit Party thereafter, including pursuant to the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.


 


Without
limiting the foregoing, the Credit Parties further acknowledge that, pursuant to the Canadian Anti-Money Laundering & Anti-Terrorism
Legislation and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client”
laws (collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), the Lenders may be required
to obtain, verify and record information regarding the Credit Parties and their respective directors, authorized signing officers, direct
or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of the Credit Parties, and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Borrower shall
(and shall cause each Credit Party to) promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence,
as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or any prospective assignee or Participant of any Lender, in order to comply with any applicable
AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence. If Administrative Agent has ascertained the identity of any Credit Party or any
authorized signatories of any Credit Party for the purposes of applicable AML Legislation, then Administrative Agent: (a) shall be deemed
to have done so as an agent for each Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between
each Lender and Administrative Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and (b) shall provide to each Lender copies
of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.


 


SECTION
12.20 No Fiduciary Duty. Each Credit Party agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby
and any communications in connection therewith, the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent, Co-Lead Arrangers, the
Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or
otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of Administrative Agent, Co-Lead Arrangers, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, and
no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.


 


SECTION
12.21 Authorized Officers. The execution of any certificate requirement hereunder by an Authorized Officer shall be considered
to have been done solely in such Authorized Officer’s capacity as an officer of the applicable Credit Party (and not individually).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely and act on any certificate,
notice or other document delivered by or on behalf of any Person purporting to be an Authorized Officer of a Credit Party and shall have
no duty to inquire as to the actual incumbency or authority of such Person.


 




    	114



     


    

 


SECTION
12.22 Judgment Currency. (a) The obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to make payments
in a specified currency (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery
pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such
tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by a Secured Party of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be
payable to it under this Agreement or another Credit Document. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit
Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency
(such other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in the Obligation Currency,
the conversion shall be made, at the rate of exchange (as quoted by Administrative Agent or if Administrative Agent does not quote a
rate of exchange on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by Administrative Agent) determined, in each case, as
of the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being hereinafter referred to as
the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).


 


(b)
If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment
of the amount due, each Borrower covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, or remit, or cause to be remitted, such additional
amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency,
when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could
have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing
on the Judgment Currency Conversion Date.


 


(c)
For purposes of determining any rate of exchange or currency equivalent for this Section 12.23, such amounts shall include any
premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the Obligation Currency.


 


SECTION
12.23 Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness. The Credit Parties hereby agree that all present and future Indebtedness of
any Credit Party to any other Credit Party (“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be subordinate and junior in right
of payment and priority to the Obligations, and each Credit Party agrees not to make, demand, accept or receive any payment in respect
of any present or future Intercompany Indebtedness, including any payment received through the exercise of any right of setoff, counterclaim
or cross claim, or any collateral therefor, unless and until such time as the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full;
provided that, so long as no Event of Default or Material Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no Event of Default
or Material Default shall be caused thereby and such Indebtedness is expressly permitted hereunder, the Credit Parties may make and receive
such payments in respect of Intercompany Indebtedness as shall be customary in the ordinary course of the Credit Parties’ business.
Without in any way limiting the foregoing, in any Insolvency Event, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or
other similar proceedings relative to any Credit Party or to its businesses, properties or assets, the Lenders shall be entitled to receive
payment in full of all of the Obligations before any Credit Party shall be entitled to receive any payment in respect of any present
or future Intercompany Indebtedness.


 




    	115



     


    

 


SECTION
12.24 Public Lenders. Each Credit Party agrees that Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Communications
available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Debt Domain, Intralinks, Syndtrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission
system (the “Platform”). The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” Each Borrower
hereby acknowledges that (a) Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Lenders materials or information
provided by or on behalf of Borrowers hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting Borrower Materials
on the Platform and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material
non-public information with respect to any Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). each Borrower hereby
agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders by Administrative Agent through the Platform shall
be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” by Borrowers which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC”
shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Borrowers shall be deemed
to have authorized Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information
with respect to any Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws and Canadian securities
laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Confidential Information, they shall be
treated as set forth in Section 12.16); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available
through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat
any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked
as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be deemed to have been marked
“PUBLIC”, unless Parent notifies Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information:
(1) the Credit Documents and (2) any financial statements delivered by Borrowers pursuant to Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(b).


 


SECTION
12.25 Original Issue Discount. The Credit Parties, Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as applicable, agree (i) that the Notes
are debt for federal income Tax purposes, (ii) that the Notes issued to the Lenders constitute a single debt instrument for purposes
of Sections 1271 through 1275 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-2(c)),
that such debt instrument is issued with original issue discount (“OID”), and that such debt instrument is described
in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1272-1(c)(2) and therefore is governed by the rules set out in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1272-1(c),
including Section 1.1272-1(c)(5), and is not governed by the rules set out in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4, (iii) that the Lenders
shall have 30 days to review and approve any calculation by the Credit Parties regarding the amount of OID for any accrual period on
the Notes, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (iv) not to file any Tax Return, report or declaration inconsistent with the
foregoing, unless otherwise required by applicable law and (v) any such OID shall constitute principal for all purposes under this Agreement.


 


SECTION
12.26 Tax Treatment. Borrowers and Lenders agree that the Loans are indebtedness of Borrowers for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.
Each party to this Agreement agrees not to take any Tax position inconsistent with such Tax characterization and shall not report the
transactions arising under this Agreement in any manner other than the issuance of debt obligations on all applicable Tax returns unless
otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or a similar final determination under
state or local Applicable Law).


 


ARTICLE
XIII


Additional
Covenants and Agreements.


 


SECTION
13.01 Cannabis Laws. Administrative Agent and Credit Parties acknowledge that although Canadian Cannabis Laws and certain U.S.
State Cannabis Laws have legalized the cultivation, distribution, sale, transfer and possession of cannabis and related products, (a)
the nature and scope of U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws may result in circumstances where activities permitted under Canadian Cannabis Laws
and U.S. State Cannabis Laws may contravene U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws and (b) engagement in Restricted Cannabis Activities may contravene
U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws. Accordingly, for the purpose hereof, each representation, covenant and other provision hereof relating to
compliance with Applicable Law will be subject to the following: (i) engagement in any activity that is permitted by Canadian Cannabis
Laws or U.S. State Cannabis Laws but contravenes U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws, and in respect of which the applicable Governmental Authority
has agreed, or are bound by Applicable Law (e.g., the proposed Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act (H.R. 1595) and the proposed
Clarifying Law Around Insurance of Marijuana (CLAIM) Act (H.R. 4074 and Senate Bill 2201)), to forego or have otherwise suspended prosecution
and enforcement of such U.S. Federal Cannabis Laws will not, in and of itself, be deemed to be non-compliance with Applicable Law; (ii)
engagement in any Restricted Cannabis Activity will be deemed to be non-compliance with Applicable Law; and (iii) if any Change in Cannabis
Law results in the business activities of any Credit Party becoming Restricted Cannabis Activities, such Change in Cannabis Law will
be deemed to have had a Material Adverse Effect. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall require Credit Parties to violate any provision
of the Canadian Cannabis Law or U.S. State Cannabis Law or its attending regulations, as applicable.
