payment required to be made by Customer pursuant to this Loan Agreement or any of the Loan Documents not paid within ten (10) days of the applicable due date shall be subject to a late charge in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) 5% of the
overdue amount, or (ii) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Such late charge shall be payable on demand.



(g) Further Assurances. Customer agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to MLBFS such additional agreements, instruments and
documents as MLBFS may reasonably require or deem advisable to effectuate the purposes of this Loan Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, or to establish, perfect and maintain MLBFS security interests and liens upon the
Collateral.



(h) Binding Effect. This Loan Agreement, the Note and the
other Loan Documents shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of MLBFS, Customer and their respective successors and assigns. MLBFS reserves the right, at any time while the Obligations remain outstanding, to sell, assign, syndicate or
otherwise transfer or dispose of any or all of MLBFS rights and interests under the Loan Documents. MLBFS also reserves the right at any time to pool the Loan with one or more other loans originated by MLBFS or any other Person, and to
securitize or offer interests in such pool on whatever terms and conditions MLBFS shall determine. Customer consents to MLBFS releasing financial and other information regarding Credit Parties, the Collateral and the Loan in connection with any such
sale, pooling, securitization or other offering. Customer shall not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Loan Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of MLBFS. Unless
otherwise expressly agreed to in a writing signed by MLBFS, no such consent shall in any event relieve Customer of any of its obligations under this Loan Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.



(i) Interpretation; Construction. (i) Captions and section and paragraph headings in
this Loan Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience, and shall not affect the interpretation hereof; (ii) no provision of this Loan Agreement shall be construed against a particular Person or in favor of another Person merely because of
which Person (or its representative) drafted or supplied the wording for such provision; and (iii) where the context requires: (a) use of the singular or plural incorporates the other, and (b) pronouns and modifiers in the masculine, feminine or
neuter gender shall be deemed to refer to or include the other genders.



(j)
Governing Law. This Loan Agreement, the Note and, unless otherwise expressly provided therein, each of the other Loan Documents, shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Illinois, not including its conflict of law
provisions.



(k) Severability of Provisions. Whenever possible, each
provision of this Loan Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law. Any provision of this Loan Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Loan Agreement, the Note and the other
Loan Documents or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.



---

(l) Term. This Loan Agreement shall become effective when accepted by MLBFS at its office in Chicago, Illinois,
and subject to the terms hereof, shall continue in effect so long thereafter as there shall be any moneys owing hereunder or under the Note, or there shall be any other Obligations outstanding. Customer hereby waives notice of acceptance of this
Loan Agreement by MLBFS.



(m) Exhibits. The exhibits to this Loan
Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Loan Agreement.



(n) Counterparts. This Loan Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts which, when taken together, constitute one and the same agreement.



(o) Jurisdiction; Waiver. Customer acknowledges that this Loan Agreement is being
accepted by MLBFS in partial consideration of MLBFS right and option, in its sole discretion, to enforce the Loan Documents in either the State of Illinois or in any other jurisdiction where Customer or any Collateral may be located. Customer
irrevocably submits itself to jurisdiction in the State of Illinois and venue in any state or federal court in the County of Cook for such purposes, and Customer waives any and all rights to contest said jurisdiction and venue and the convenience of
any such forum, and any and all rights to remove such action from state to federal court. Customer further waives any rights to commence any action against MLBFS in any jurisdiction except in the County of Cook and State of Illinois. Customer agrees
that all such service of process shall be made by mail or messenger directed to it in the same manner as provided for notices to Customer in this Loan Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed to be completed upon the earlier of actual
receipt or three (3) days after the same shall have been posted to Customer or Customers agent. Nothing contained herein shall affect the right of MLBFS to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of MLBFS
to bring any action or proceeding against Customer or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Customer waives, to the extent permitted by law, any bond or surety or security upon such bond which might, but for this waiver, be required
of MLBFS. Customer further waives the right to bring any non-compulsory counterclaims.



(p) Jury Waiver. MLBFS and Customer hereby each expressly waive any and all rights to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties against the other party with respect
to any matter relating to, arising out of or in any way connected with the Loan, the Obligations, this Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and/or any of the transactions which are the subject matter of this Loan Agreement.



(q) Integration. This Loan Agreement, together with the other Loan
Documents, constitutes the entire understanding and represents the full and final agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior written agreements or prior, contemporaneous
or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements of the parties. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer acknowledges that: (i) no promise or commitment has been made to it by MLBFS, MLPF&S or any of their
respective employees, agents or representatives to make any Loan on any terms other than as expressly set forth herein, or to make any other loan or otherwise extend any other credit to Customer or any other party; and (ii) except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, this Loan Agreement supersedes and replaces any and all proposals, letters of intent and approval and commitment letters from MLBFS to Customer, none of which shall be considered a Loan Document. No amendment or
modification of any of the Loan Documents to which Customer is a party shall be effective unless in a writing signed by both MLBFS and Customer.



(r) Survival. All representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained in the Loan Documents shall survive the signing and delivery of the Loan
Documents, and all of the waivers made and indemnification obligations undertaken by Customer shall survive the termination, discharge or cancellation of the Loan Documents.



(s) Customers Acknowledgments. The Customer acknowledges that the Customer: (i) has had ample opportunity to consult with
counsel and such other parties as deemed advisable prior to signing and delivering this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (ii) understands the provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all waivers contained
therein; and (iii) signs and delivers this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents freely and voluntarily, without duress or coercion.
