The
Lender will have the right, from time to time, by notice to the Borrower, to make any technical, administrative, or operational changes
(including, without limitation, (I) changes to the definitions of Business Day and Interest Payment Date, (II) timing and frequency of
determining rates and making payments of interest, (III) inclusion of compounding methodologies and conventions if applicable, and (IV)
other administrative matters (collectively, “Replacement Base Rate Changes”)) that the Lender decides in its reasonable discretion
may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of a Replacement Base Rate. The Replacement Base Rate, together with all

interest rate, any determination with respect to a rate or adjustment or the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or

the Facility Documents constitute valid, enforceable and binding agreements, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity;


 


(b)
the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Facility Documents, and the use of the proceeds of any of the Loans, do
not (i) conflict with any agreement by which it is bound or result in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the property
or assets of the Borrower thereunder (other than pursuant to any Facility Documents) to which the Borrower is a party or is bound or
by which its properties may be bound or affected, (ii) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation (including, without limitation,
Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board), order, writ, judgment or injunction presently in effect having applicability to the Borrower,
or (iii) require the consent or approval of any individual, business, governmental authority or other entity; and

no litigation, claim, investigation, administrative proceeding or similar action is pending or, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge,
threatened (i) involving or affecting any material part of the Borrower’s assets, any of the Facility Document collateral, or the
transactions contemplated in the Facility Documents or (ii) against the Borrower that, if adversely determined, is likely to have a material
adverse effect on the condition of the Borrower. There are currently no material judgments entered against the Borrower and the Borrower
is not in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or order of any court or other judicial authority, which default is
likely to have or has had a material adverse effect on the condition of the Borrower.

Section
13. Miscellaneous.


 


(a)
The provisions of this Note are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Note is held invalid or unenforceable in whole or
in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability
without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions thereof in any jurisdiction.


 


(b)
Except for changes the parties have agreed may be made by the Lender in the Lender’s discretion without consultation with the Borrower,
no amendment or modification of any provision of this Note shall be effective unless the same shall be executed by the Borrower and the
Lender. A waiver by the Lender of a provision of this Note shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to otherwise demand
strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Note. Whenever the consent of the Lender is required under this
Note, the granting of such consent shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and
in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the Lender’s sole discretion. The Lender shall not be deemed to have waived
any rights under this Note unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Lender.


 


(c)
No delay on the part of the Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy waives that right or remedy. No single or partial exercise
by the Lender of any right or remedy precludes any other future exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights
and remedies in this Note are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies which the Lender may have under law or under other
agreements or arrangements with the Borrower. The Borrower waives presentment, notice of dishonor, protest and any other notice or formality
with respect to this Note except for any notices expressly required by this Note.


 


(d)
If the term “Borrower” is or becomes defined to include more than one party, then the obligations, representations and warranties
of the Borrower hereunder shall be joint and several regardless of any change in business relations, divorce, legal separation or other
legal proceedings and regardless of any agreement that may affect liabilities between or among such parties, and the Lender shall be
entitled to act on notices and requests from any one of the parties without the consent of the other party(ies).


 




    	 



     


    

 


(e)
The obligations of the Borrower under this Note shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to
the extent that receipt thereof would be contrary to provisions of law applicable to the Lender limiting rates of interest which may
be charged or collected by the Lender.


 


(f)
Except as otherwise permitted in this Note, notices (including, without limitation, interest statements) shall be addressed to the Lender
as set forth in the Lender’s signature block below, and to the Borrower addressed as set forth in the Borrower’s signature

number or address as shall be designated by one party to the other by telephone or in the manner provided for in this Section) and either
given electronically or in writing by hand, overnight courier, certified or registered mail, or regular mail. Notices sent by hand, overnight
courier, certified or registered mail, or regular mail shall be deemed to have been given when delivered. Notices sent to an email address
shall be deemed received when sent, provided, that, if such notice is not sent during normal business hours, such notice shall be deemed
to have been sent and received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. All notices by the Lender properly addressed to the
Borrower shall be deemed to have been personally delivered to the Borrower whether actually received or not.

that are electronic records and are executed using electronic signatures generated through the electronic execution process provided
by the Lender or such other electronic execution process acceptable to the Lender in its sole discretion. Each counterpart of such document,
when so executed, shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same document. Delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of a signature page of such document by emailed PDF or JPEG from the Borrower’s e-mail address on file with
the Lender, or any other electronic means acceptable to the Lender in its sole discretion that reproduces an image of such manually executed
signature page, shall each be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such document; provided, that, the Lender,
in its sole discretion, can require subsequent delivery of the manually executed counterpart of a signature page.


 


(j)
The date, amount, Base Rate of, Maturity Date of, Applicable Margin of, and the Interest Rate with respect to, each Loan evidenced hereby,
and all payments of principal and/or interest thereof shall, in each case, be evidenced by records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary
course of business and such records shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error and any failure to so record or any error in
doing so shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to any Loan
made hereunder.


 


Section
14. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of any Loan under this Note
or make available such proceeds to any person or entity: (i) to fund any activities or business of or with any person or entity, or in

(a)
the Paper-Based Note will be an effective, enforceable and valid instrument;

the execution of this Electronic Note will be deemed issuance and delivery of the Paper-Based Note;

obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms to the same extent as if manually executed. Notwithstanding any other provision of
