to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the
control of the Lender. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Lender (as finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in
substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Lender may, in its sole discretion, either (A) accept and make
payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary
or (B) refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter
of Credit.


 


(f)        The
Lender shall, promptly after its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter
of Credit.


 


(g)        Unless
the Borrowers reimburse an LC Disbursement in full on the day it is made (if notice is given to the Borrower Agent before 11:00
a.m., Prevailing Eastern Time, on the day the LC Disbursement is made or, otherwise, on the next Business Day), the unpaid amount
thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the day on which such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the
day on which the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided
that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to Section 2.05(d), then Sections 2.13(d)
shall apply.


 


Section 2.06        Funding
of Loans. The Lender shall wire the principal amount thereof in immediately available funds, by 1:00 p.m., Prevailing Eastern
Time, on the proposed date of each Loan, to the account designated in the Borrowing Notice.

Section 2.07        Interest
Elections. (a) Each Borrowing of Loans initially shall be of the Interest Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request
and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter,
the Borrowers may, by and through the Borrower Agent, elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Interest Type or, in the case
of a Eurodollar Borrowing, to continue such Borrowing for one or more additional Interest Periods, all as provided in this Section.
The Borrower Agent may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, and the Loans comprising
each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.


 


(b)        To
make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Agent shall notify the Lender thereof by telephone by the time that a Borrowing
Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower Agent were requesting that a Borrowing of the Interest Type resulting
from such election be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election shall be irrevocable
and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, telecopy or e-mail transmission to the Lender of a written Interest Election
in a form approved by the Lender and signed by the Borrower Agent.


 


(c)        Each
telephonic and written Interest Election shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03 and subsection (d)
of this Section:


 


(i)        the
Borrowing to which such Interest Election applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions
thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant
to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);


 


(ii)        the
effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election, which shall be a Business Day;


 


(iii)        whether
the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and


 


(iv)        if
the resulting Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such
election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of “Interest Period”.


 


If an Interest Election
requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, the Borrowers will be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month’s duration.


 


(d)        If
the Borrower Agent fails to deliver a timely Interest Election with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing before the end of an Interest
Period applicable thereto, such Borrowing (unless repaid) will be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of such Interest
Period. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Lender so
notifies the Borrower Agent, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing, (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted
to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) each Eurodollar Borrowing (unless repaid) will be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing
at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto on the date of such notice.

Section 2.09        Payment
at Maturity; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Parent unconditionally promises to pay to the Lender on the Maturity Date the then unpaid
principal amount of the Loans.


 


(b)        The
Lender shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Interest Type thereof and
each Interest Period (if any) applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due
and payable from the Borrowers to the Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Lender hereunder.


 


(c)        The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of
the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that any failure by the Lender to maintain such
accounts or any error therein shall not affect the Parent’s obligation to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.


 


(d)        The
Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note; provided that the Lender’s obtaining or
not obtaining such a promissory note shall not impair or otherwise affect the provisions of this Section. In such event, the Borrowers
shall prepare, execute and deliver to the Lender a promissory note payable to the Lender (or, if requested by the Lender, to the
Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note
and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named
therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).


 


Section 2.10        Optional
and Mandatory Prepayments. 


 


(a)        Optional
Prepayments. The Parent will have the right at any time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part without premium or penalty,
but subject to the provisions of this Section and Section 2.16; provided that the aggregate amount of each such prepayment
shall be an integral multiple of $50,000 and not less than $250,000.


 


(b)        Mandatory
Increase of Collateral or Prepayments. (i) If at any date the Secured Facility Exposure exceeds the aggregate Collateral Value
of the Eligible Collateral then held by the Lender, in each case determined as of such date, then not later than the next succeeding
Business Day, the Borrowers shall be required to deposit with the Lender additional Eligible Collateral having a Collateral Value
equal to such excess until the Secured Facility Exposure does not exceed the aggregate Collateral Value of the Eligible Collateral
then held by the Lender; (ii) if at any date the Secured Facility Exposure exceeds the Secured Facility Maximum Amount, determined
as of such date, then not later than the next succeeding Business Day, the Borrowers shall be required to prepay the Loans in an
amount equal to such excess until the Secured Facility Exposure does not exceed the Secured Facility Maximum Amount; and (iii)
if at any date the Unsecured Facility Exposure plus the Secured Facility Exposure exceeds the Unsecured Facility Maximum Amount,
determined as of such date, then not later than the next succeeding Business Day, the Borrowers shall be required to prepay the
Loans in an amount equal to such excess until the Unsecured Facility Exposure plus the Secured Facility Exposure does not exceed
the Unsecured Facility Maximum Amount.


 




    	 	31	 



     


    

 


(c)        Allocation
of Prepayments. Before any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower Agent shall select the Borrowing
or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in a notice of such prepayment.


 


(d)        Partial
Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of a Borrowing shall be in an amount such that the remaining unpaid amount of such Borrowing
would be permitted under Section 2.02(b) for a Borrowing of the same Interest Type, except as needed to apply fully the required
amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each partial prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such
Borrowing.


 


(e)        Accrued
Interest. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.


 


(f)        Notice
of Prepayments. Except with respect to a prepayment under Section 2.10(b), the Borrower Agent shall notify the Lender
by telephone (confirmed by telecopy or e-mail transmission) of any prepayment of any Borrowing hereunder (i) in the case of a Eurodollar
Borrowing, not later than noon, Prevailing Eastern Time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the
case of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than noon, Prevailing Eastern Time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall
be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and,
in the case of a mandatory prepayment described in clause (c) above, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment.


 


Section 2.11        [Reserved].


 


Section 2.12        Fees.
(a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Lender a letter of credit fee, which shall accrue during the Revolving Availability Period on
the maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Secured Letters
of Credit, the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Loans for the Secured Facility set forth in the Pricing Schedule and (ii) with respect
to Unsecured Letters of Credit, the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Loans for the Unsecured Facility set forth in the Pricing Schedule.
Such letter of credit fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter in respect of the quarter
then ending.


 


(b)        The
Borrowers shall pay to the Lender, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon by
the Borrowers and the Lender.


 


(c)        All
fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and will be payable for the actual number of days elapsed
and shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Lender. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any
circumstances.


 




    	 	32	 



     


    

 


Section 2.13        Interest.


 


(a)        
The Secured Loans comprising a Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest for each day at the Alternate Base Rate, plus the
Applicable Rate for the Secured Facility. The Unsecured Loans comprising a Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest for each day
at the Alternate Base Rate, plus the Applicable Rate for the Unseucred Facility.


 


(b)        The
Secured Loans comprising a Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest for each Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing at the
Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, plus the Applicable Rate for the Secured Facility. The Unsecured Loans comprising
a Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest for each Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for
such Interest Period, plus the Applicable Rate for the Unsecured Facility.


 


(c)        [Reserved].


 


(d)        Notwithstanding
the foregoing, upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and continuing for so long as an Event of Default exists,
(i) each Loan shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2.00%) plus
the rate that otherwise would be applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding subsections of this Section, and (ii) any
other sum then due and payable hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to two
percent (2.00%) plus the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Base Rate Loans.


 


(e)        Interest
accrued on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the Maturity Date; provided
that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.13(d) shall be payable on demand, (ii) upon any repayment of any Loan
(except a prepayment of a Base Rate Loan before the Maturity Date), interest accrued on the principal amount repaid shall be payable
on the date of such repayment and (iii) upon any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan before the end of the current Interest Period
therefor, interest accrued on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.


 


(f)        All
interest hereunder will be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to clause (a)
of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate will be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case will be payable for the actual number
of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate
shall be determined by the Lender, and its determination thereof will be conclusive absent demonstrable error.


 


Section 2.14        Alternate
Rate of Interest. If before the beginning of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:


 


(a)        deposits
in dollars in the applicable amounts are not being offered by banks generally in the London interbank market for such Interest
Period;


 


(b)        the
Lender determines that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, after giving effect to Section 2.15, will not adequately
and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period; or


 




    	 	33	 



     


    

 


(c)        the
Lender determines that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the requested Interest
Period as provided in Section 1.01 or that making or funding of Loans based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate has become impracticable,


 


then the Lender shall give notice thereof to
the Borrower Agent by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Lender notifies the Borrower Agent
that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election that requests the conversion of any
Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing will be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request
requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing will be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.


 


Section 2.15        Increased
Costs; Capital Adequacy. (a) If any Change in Law shall:


 


(i)        impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of, or credit extended by, the Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);


 


(ii)        subject
the Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by
it, or change the basis of taxation of any payments to the Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
covered by Section 2.17 and the imposition of, or any change to, the rate of any Excluded Tax payable by the Lender); or


 


(iii)        impose
on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by the Lender
or any Letter of Credit;


 


and the result of any of the foregoing shall
be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make Eurodollar
Loans) or to increase the cost to the Lender issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce any amount received or receivable
by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate it for such additional cost incurred or reduction suffered.


 


(b)        If
the Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing
the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement or the Loans made by it or Letters of Credit issued by it, to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s
holding company reasonably could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies
and the policies of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time following receipt
of the certificate referred to in subsection (c) of this Section, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.


 




    	 	34	 



     


    

 


(c)        A
certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate it or its holding company, as the case may
be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be rebuttably
presumed to be correct. Each such certificate shall contain a representation and warranty on the part of the Lender to the effect
that the Lender has complied with its obligations pursuant to Section 2.21 hereof in an effort to eliminate or reduce such
amount. The Borrowers shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.


 


(d)        Failure
or delay by the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section will not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such
compensation; provided that the Borrowers will not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to this Section for any
increased cost or reduction incurred more than one year before it notifies the Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased cost or reduction and of its intention to claim compensation therefor. However, if the Change in Law giving rise
to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the one year period referred to above will be extended to include the
period of retroactive effect thereof.


 


Section 2.16        Break
Funding Payments. If (a) any principal of any Eurodollar Loan is repaid on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) any Eurodollar Loan is converted on a day other than the
last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the Borrowers fail to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on
the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then the Borrowers shall compensate the Lender for its loss, cost and
expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost and expense to the Lender shall be deemed
to include an amount determined by the Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on
the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such
Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the end of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a
failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have begun on the date of such failure), over (ii) the amount
of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which the Lender would bid were it
to bid, at the beginning of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank
market. A certificate of the Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that the Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this
Section shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. The Borrowers shall pay the
Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.


 


Section 2.17        Taxes.
(a) All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of
and without deduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if a Loan Party shall be required
to deduct or withhold any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable will be increased as necessary
so that, after all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section) are made, the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings
been made, (ii) the applicable Loan Party shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the applicable Loan Party shall
pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.


 


(b)        In
addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.


 




    	 	35	 



     


    

 


(c)        The
Loan Parties shall indemnify the Lender, within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by the Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Lender with respect
to any payment by or obligation of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising
therefrom or with respect thereto (unless such penalties, interest or expenses arise by reason of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Lender), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted
by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment delivered to the Borrower Agent by the
Lender shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. If the Borrowers have indemnified the Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17(c),
the Lender shall take such steps as the Borrower Agent shall reasonably request (at the Borrowers’ expense) to assist the
Borrowers in recovering the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and any penalties or interest attributable thereto; provided that
the Lender shall not be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) unless, in the reasonable judgment of
the Lender, such action (i) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (ii) would not otherwise be disadvantageous
to the Lender.


 


(d)        [Reserved].


 


(e)        As
soon as practicable after the Borrowers pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower Agent
shall deliver to the Lender 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 the Lender.


 


(f)        The
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent as will permit payments to be made hereunder
or under any other Loan Document without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Foreign Lender shall to the extent requested by the Borrower Agent (i) furnish either (a) two (2) accurate and
complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN (or successor form) (b) two (2) accurate and complete originally
executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI (or successor form) or (c) two (2) accurate and complete originally executed
U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8IMY and all requisite supporting documentation, certifying, in each case, to such Foreign
Lender’s legal entitlement to an exemption or reduction from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to all interest payments
hereunder, and (ii) to the extent it may lawfully do so at such times, upon reasonable request by the Borrower Agent, provide a
new Form W-8BEN (or successor form), Form W-8ECI (or successor form) or Form W-8IMY (or successor form) upon the expiration or
obsolescence of any previously delivered form to reconfirm any complete exemption from, or any entitlement to a reduction in, U.S.
federal withholding tax with respect to any interest payment hereunder; provided that any Foreign Lender that is not a “bank”
within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code and is claiming the “portfolio interest exemption”
under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code shall also furnish a “Non-Bank Certificate” in the form from
time to time specified by the Borrower Agent if it is furnishing a Form W-8BEN. If a payment made to the Lender under any Loan
Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the 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 the Borrower Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent, such documentation
prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers to comply with their obligations
under FATCA and to determine that the Lender has complied with the Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount
to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall
include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.


 




    	 	36	 



     


    

 


(g)        If
the Lender is not a Foreign Lender it shall furnish two accurate and complete originally executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Forms W-9 (or successor form) certifying that the Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.


 


(h)        The
provisions of this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Loans.


 


Section 2.18        Payments
Generally. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them under the Loan Documents (whether of principal,
interest or fees, reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17(c) or otherwise)
before the time expressly required under the relevant Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required,
before noon, Prevailing Eastern Time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any
amount received after such time on any day may, in the discretion of the Lender, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding
Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Lender at its offices at 115
S. LaSalle Street, Chicago, IL 60603 (or such other address as may from time to time be designated by the Lender to the Borrower
Agent in writing). Unless otherwise specified herein, if any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not
a Business Day, the date for payment will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, if such payment accrues interest,
interest thereon will be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.


 


(b)        If
at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Lender to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed
LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due
hereunder, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder.


 


Section 2.19        
[Reserved].


 


Section 2.20        [Reserved].


 




    	 	37	 



     


    

 


Section 2.21        Lender’s
Obligation to Mitigate. If the Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required
to pay any additional amount to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 2.17,
then the Lender shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or eliminate the amount of such compensation or additional
amount, including without limitation, by designating a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or by
assigning its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates; provided that the Lender
shall not be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 2.21 unless, in the reasonable judgment of the Lender, such
designation or assignment or other action (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17,
as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (iii) would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to the Lender in any material respect. The Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by
the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.


 


Section 2.22        Illegality.
If the Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for the Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Borrowings, or to determine or charge interest
rates based upon the Adjusted LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the
Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Lender
to the Borrower Agent, any obligation of the Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Borrowings or to convert Base Rate Borrowings
to Eurodollar Borrowings shall be suspended until the Lender notifies the Borrower Agent that the circumstances giving rise to
such determination no longer exist, which notice the Lender agrees to give promptly following such determination. Upon receipt
of such notice, the Borrowers shall, upon demand from the Lender, prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Borrowings from
the Lender to Base Rate Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if the Lender may lawfully continue
to maintain such Eurodollar Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar
Borrowings. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


 


Each Borrower jointly and
severally represents and warrants to the Lender that:


 


Section 3.01        Organization;
Powers. Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws
of the jurisdiction of its organization, has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and, except
where failures to do so, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified
to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required.


 


Section 3.02        Authorization;
Enforceability. The Financing Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party are within its corporate, limited liability
company or similar company powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company (or similar)
action and, if required, stockholder or other equity holder action. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Borrowers and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which a Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by,
as the case may be, a Borrower or such other Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of, as the case
may be, such Borrower or such other Loan Party, in each case enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable Debtor
Relief Laws and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at Law.

Section 3.03        Governmental
Approvals; No Conflicts. The Financing Transactions and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) do not require any consent or approval
of, registration or filing with, or other action by, any Governmental Authority or any exchange under which a Borrower’s
Equity Interests are traded, except such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (b) will not violate any
applicable Law or the charter, by-laws, limited liability company agreement or other organizational documents of the Borrower or
any order of any Governmental Authority, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument
binding upon the Borrower or any of its properties, or give rise to a right thereunder to require the Borrower to make any payment,
where such default or payment reasonably can be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (d) will not result in the creation
or imposition of any Lien on any property of any Loan Party (except for Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents).


 


Section 3.04        Financial
Statements; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The Parent has heretofore furnished to the Lender (i) the audited Consolidated
balance sheet of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and the related Consolidated statements of income and
cash flows for the Fiscal Year then ended, reported on by Ernst & Young LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) the unaudited
Consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2017 and the related Consolidated statements of income
and cash flows for the Fiscal Quarter then ended and for the portion of the Fiscal Year then ended, all certified by the Parent’s
chief financial officer. Such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the Consolidated financial position
of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of such dates and its Consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such periods
in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements referred
to in clause (ii) above and show all Material Debt and other liabilities, direct or contingent, of the Parent and its Subsidiaries
as of the date thereof. None of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries has on the date hereof any material contingent liabilities,
material liabilities for taxes, material unusual forward or long-term commitments or material unrealized or anticipated losses
from any unfavorable commitments, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in said balance sheets as at said dates.


 


(b)        Since
December 31, 2016 there has been no material adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, financial condition,
contingent liabilities or material agreements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.


 


(c)        The
Parent has heretofore furnished to the Lender the annual Statutory Statement of each Insurance Subsidiary for the fiscal year thereof
ended December 31, 2016, and the quarterly Statutory Statement of each Insurance Subsidiary for the fiscal quarter ended March
31, 2017, in each case as filed with the Applicable Insurance Regulatory Authority. All such Statutory Statements present fairly
in all material respects the financial condition of each Insurance Subsidiary as at, and the results of operations for, the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2016, and fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2017, in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed
or permitted by the Applicable Insurance Regulatory Authority. As of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, since December
31, 2016, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of any Material Insurance
Subsidiary from that set forth in its respective Statutory Statement as at December 31, 2016.

in which such Domestic Insurance Subsidiary holds active licenses (including, without limitation, licenses or certificates of authority
from Applicable Insurance Regulatory Authorities), permits or authorizations to transact insurance and reinsurance business or
to act as an insurance agent or broker (collectively, the “Licenses”), and Schedule 3.05 hereto lists all of
the jurisdictions in which JRG Reinsurance holds active Licenses (including, without limitation, Licenses from Applicable Insurance
Regulatory Authorities). Each Insurance Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with each License held by it. No License
(to the extent material) is the subject of a proceeding for suspension or revocation or any similar proceedings, there is no sustainable
basis for such a suspension or revocation, and to the knowledge of each Borrower no such suspension or revocation has been threatened
by any Applicable Insurance Regulatory Authority except in any such case where such proceedings would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.


 


Section 3.06        Parent
Subsidiaries.


 


(a)        As
of the Closing Date, the Parent has no Subsidiaries, other than those set forth on Part A of Schedule 3.06. Part A of Schedule
3.06 accurately identifies as of the Closing Date the jurisdiction under the Laws of which each such Subsidiary is formed. The
last sentence of the definition of “Material Subsidiary” identifies all of the Parent’s Subsidiaries that are
Material Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date.


 


(b)        Set
forth on Part B of Schedule 3.06 is a complete and correct list of all Investments (other than (i) Investments disclosed in Part

of Debt the aggregate principal or face amount of which Debt is less than $5,000,000) held by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
in any Person on the date hereof and, for each such Investment, (A) the identity of the Person or Persons holding such Investment
and (B) the nature of such Investment. Except as disclosed in Part B of Schedule 3.11, each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries
owns, free and clear of all Liens, all such Investments.


 


Section 3.07        Litigation.
There is no action, suit, arbitration proceeding or other proceeding, inquiry or investigation, at Law or in equity, before or
by any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or of which any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary has otherwise received notice or which, to the knowledge of a Loan Party, is threatened against any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary (i) as to which, but after giving effect to any applicable insurance claim reserve, there is a reasonable possibility
of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii)
that involves any of the Loan Documents or the Financing Transactions or the use of the proceeds thereof.

applicable to it or its property (including (i) all Environmental Laws, (ii) ERISA, (iii) applicable Laws dealing with intellectual
property, and (iv) the Fair Labor Standards Act and other applicable Law dealing with such matters) and all indentures, agreements
and other instruments binding on it or its property, except where failures to do so, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.


 


(b)        Without
limiting the generality of paragraph (a), above, each Insurance Subsidiary is in compliance, in all material respects, with its
Applicable Insurance Code and the other requirements applicable to it of its Applicable Insurance Regulatory Authority.


 


(c)        None
of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary is in violation in any material respect of any Anti-Terrorism Law or engages in or conspires
to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding, or attempts to violate, any of the
prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law.

(i)        a
Person that is listed in the annex to the Executive Order No. 13224;


 


(ii)        a
Person owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, any Person that is listed in the annex to the Executive Order No. 13224;

Person with which the Lender is prohibited from dealing or otherwise engaging in any transaction by any Anti-Terrorism Law;

Section 3.09        Investment
Company Status. No Borrower is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.


 


Section 3.10        Taxes.
The Parent’s Domestic Subsidiaries are members of an affiliated group of entities filing consolidated returns for Federal
income tax purposes, of which James River is the “common parent” (within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Code)
of such group. The Parent and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States income tax returns, Bermuda income tax returns and
all other material tax returns that are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant
to any assessment received by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Parent
and its Subsidiaries in respect of taxes and other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Parent, adequate. No Loan Party
has given or been requested to give a waiver of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of any Federal, state, local
and foreign taxes or other impositions.


 


Section 3.11        Material
Debt Agreements and Liens.

letter of credit or other arrangement providing for or otherwise relating to any Debt or any extension of credit (or commitment
for any extension of credit) to, or Guarantee by, a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, outstanding on the date hereof the aggregate
principal or face amount of which equals or exceeds (or may equal or exceed) $5,000,000, and the aggregate principal or face amount
outstanding or that may become outstanding under each such arrangement is correctly described in Part A of said Schedule 3.11.
The Debt and other obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents constitute “Senior Indebtedness”
(or equivalent term otherwise named) under, and defined in, the documents relating to the Closing Date Trust Preferred Securities
and any other of such Debt that is subordinated Debt of a Loan Party.


 


(b)        Part
B of Schedule 3.11 is a complete and correct list of each Lien securing Debt of any Person outstanding on the date hereof and on
the Closing Date the aggregate principal or face amount of which equals or exceeds (or may equal or exceed) $5,000,000 and covering
any property of a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and the aggregate Debt secured (or that may be secured) by each such Lien
and the property covered by each such Lien is correctly described in Part B of said Schedule 3.11.


 


Section 3.12        Environmental
Matters. Each of the Loan Parties and its Subsidiaries has obtained all environmental, health and safety permits, licenses
and other authorizations required under all Environmental Laws to carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted,
except to the extent failure to have any such permit, license or authorization would not (either individually or in the aggregate)
have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of such permits, licenses and authorizations is in full force and effect and each of the Loan
Parties and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with the terms and conditions thereof, and is also in compliance with all other limitations,
restrictions, conditions, standards, prohibitions, requirements, obligations, schedules and timetables contained in any applicable
Environmental Law or in any plan, order, decree, judgment, injunction, notice or demand letter issued, entered, promulgated or
approved thereunder, except to the extent failure to comply therewith would not (either individually or in the aggregate) have
a Material Adverse Effect.


 




    	 	42	 



     


    

 


Section 3.13        Equity
Obligations. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.13, there are no outstanding obligations of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
to repurchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire any Equity Interests of the Parent.


 


Section 3.14        No
Reliance. Each Loan Party has made, independently and without reliance upon the Lender, and based on such documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, its own decision to enter into this Agreement and has made (and will continue to make), independently
and without reliance upon the Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate (or shall deem appropriate
at the time), its own legal, credit and tax analysis of the transactions contemplated hereby.


 


Section 3.15        ERISA.
Compliance by the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries with the provisions hereof and Loans and Letters of Credit contemplated hereby
will not involve any Prohibited Transaction within the meaning of ERISA or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code or any
breach of any other comparable foreign Law. Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries, (i) has fulfilled all obligations under
minimum funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan that is not a Multiemployer Plan or a Multiple Employer
Plan, (ii) has satisfied all respective contribution obligations in respect of each Multiemployer Plan and each Multiple Employer
Plan, (iii) is in compliance in all respects with all other applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan,
each Multiemployer Plan and each Multiple Employer Plan, and (iv) has not incurred any liability under the Title IV of ERISA to
the PBGC with respect to any Plan, any Multiemployer Plan, any Multiple Employer Plan, or any trust established thereunder, except
(with respect to any matter specified in any of the above clauses), for such matters as, individually or in the aggregate, would
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Plan or trust created thereunder has been terminated, and there
have been no ERISA Events, with respect to any Plan or trust created thereunder or with respect to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple
Employer Plan, which termination or ERISA Event has or reasonably could result in the termination of such Plan, Multiemployer Plan
or Multiple Employer Plan and give rise to a liability of a Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate in respect thereof which, individually
or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.15 hereto,
neither a Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate is at the date hereof, or has been at any time within the five years preceding the
date hereof, an employer required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, or a “contributing sponsor”
(as such term is defined in section 4001 of ERISA) in any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan. Each Plan that is
intended to be so qualified under section 401(a) of the Code in fact is so qualified, except for any failure of qualification
which individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Loan Party
nor any ERISA Affiliate has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement “welfare benefit plan” (as
such term is defined in ERISA) except as has been disclosed prior to the date hereof to the Lender in writing or on any financial
statements of the Parent and its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate provided to the Lender or except for such contingent liabilities
that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 3.16        Regulation

of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U), or extending credit
for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock. No proceeds of any Loan or drawings under any Letter of Credit
will be used directly or indirectly to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing
or carrying any such margin stock.


 


Section 3.17        Disclosure.
Each Loan Party has disclosed to the Lender all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it is subject,
and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. All of the reports, financial statements, certificates and other written information (other than projected financial
information) that have been made available by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Lender in connection with the negotiation of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder, are complete and correct in all material respects
and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made; provided that,
with respect to projected financial information, the Borrowers represent only that such information was prepared in good faith
based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.


 


Section 3.18        Solvency.
Immediately after the Financing Transactions to occur on the Closing Date are consummated and after giving effect to the application
of the proceeds of each Loan made on the Closing Date and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan made
on any other date, (a) the fair value of the assets of each Loan Party, at a fair valuation, will exceed its debts and liabilities,
subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) each Loan Party will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent
or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (c) no Loan Party will have unreasonably small capital
with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and proposed to be conducted after
the Closing Date.

Subsidiaries), to which funds have been or are to be advanced by such Person on the security of the property subject to such lease
(a “Sale-Leaseback Transaction”) if, after giving effect thereto, the Value (as defined below) of all Sale/Leaseback
Transactions at such time would exceed 10% of the Consolidated Net Worth of the Parent at such time. For purposes of this Section 6.07,
“Value” shall mean, with respect to any Sale-Leaseback Transaction as at any time, the amount equal to the greater
of (a) the net proceeds of the sale or transfer of the property subject to such Sale-Leaseback Transaction and (b) the fair value,
in the opinion of the board of directors of the applicable Loan Party of such property at the time of entering into such Sale-Leaseback
Transaction, in either case divided first by the number of full years of the term of the lease and then multiplied by the number
of full years of such term remaining at the time of determination, without regard to any renewal or extension options contained
in such lease; provided that all obligations under such sale-leaseback agreements shall constitute Debt for purposes of
calculating compliance with the covenants set forth in this Article 6.


 


Section 6.08        Restricted
Payments. No Loan Party shall declare or make, or agree to pay or make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment, or

to such Restricted Payment, no Default exists or would result therefrom; provided that nothing in this Section shall be
construed to restrict payments by a Subsidiary to its immediate parent entity.

compensation for his or her services in such capacity; (ii) a Loan Party and its Material Subsidiaries may enter into transactions
(other than extensions of credit by such Loan Party or any of its Material Subsidiaries to an Affiliate) providing for the leasing
of property, the rendering or receipt of services or the purchase or sale of inventory and other property in the ordinary course
of business if the monetary or business consideration arising therefrom would be substantially as advantageous to such Loan Party
and its Material Subsidiaries as the monetary or business consideration that would obtain in a comparable transaction with a Person
not an Affiliate (or in the case of any management agreement or investment advisory agreement among or between the Parent and its
Insurance Subsidiaries, that is approved by the Applicable Insurance Regulatory Authorities); (iii) nothing in this Section 6.09
shall be deemed to prohibit or restrict the making of Restricted Payments by a Subsidiary to, as the case may be, the Parent or
the Subsidiary that is its immediate parent entity and (iv) a Loan Party and its Material Subsidiaries may make investments in
any Person Controlled by D.E. Shaw & Co., L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, so long as (A) the monetary and other terms
of such investment are as advantageous to such Loan Party or Material Subsidiary as would obtain in a comparable investment in
a Person not an Affiliate and (B) the aggregate amount of all such investments (net of repayments of capital and proceeds of disposition
thereof) outstanding at any time does not exceed $75,000,000.

hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of
the Financing Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds
therefrom (including any refusal by the Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented
in connection with such demand do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or
release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by a Loan Party or any Subsidiary,

indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnitee to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses
are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct; (ii) such indemnity shall not be available to any Indemnitee for losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses arising out of a proceeding in which such Indemnitee and a Loan Party are adverse parties with
respect to a claim brought by a Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations
hereunder or under any other Loan Document, to the extent that a Loan Party prevails on the merits, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction (it being understood that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude a claim or suit by a Loan Party against
any Indemnitee for such Indemnitee’s failure to perform any of its obligations to the Borrowers under the Loan Documents);

absence of conflicts of interest, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one law firm at any one time for the Indemnitees

Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Loan Party
without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon
any Person (except the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly provided
herein, the Related Parties of the Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.


 


(b)        The
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure

other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by
the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance
of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that
any Lender Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit
is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any principal of or accrued interest on any Loan
or any fee or other amount payable hereunder is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding or the Borrowers
continue to have the ability to request Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17
and 9.03 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Financing Transactions, the repayment
of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.


 


Section 9.07        Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts),
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement,
the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Lender constitute the entire contract
among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral
or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement (i) will become effective
when the Lender shall have signed this Agreement and received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures
of each of the other parties hereto and (ii) thereafter will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy
or by email as a PDF will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.


 


Section 9.08        Severability.
If any provision of any Loan Document is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction then, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, (i) such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent (but only to the extent) of such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability, (ii) the other provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction
and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Lender in order to carry out the intentions of the parties thereto as nearly as
may be possible and (iii) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any such provision in any jurisdiction shall not affect
the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.


 


Section 9.09        Right
of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized
at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever
currency) at any time owing, by such Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of a Loan Party against
any and all of the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to
the Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch,
office or Affiliate of the Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.
The rights of the Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of setoff) that the Lender or Affiliates may have. The Lender shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Lender promptly after any
such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff
and application.

Section 9.10        Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by

Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of
the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York,
and any relevant appellate court, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition
or enforcement of any judgment, and each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York state court or, to the extent permitted by law, in any
such Federal court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may
be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in any Loan Document
shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document against
such Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.


 


(c)        Each
Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document
in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section. Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.


 


(d)        Each
party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in any
Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Closing Date at 111 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York 10011, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge
for and on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summon, notices and documents which
may be served in any such action or proceeding. If for any reason such designee, appointee and agent shall cease to be available
to act as such, each Loan Party agrees to designate a new designee, appoint and agent in New York City on the terms and for the
purposes of this provision reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED

ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION,
SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO
THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

The Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed
(a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such
information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c)
to the extent required by applicable Laws of any Governmental Authority or any stock exchange or similar self-regulated entity

assignee of or Participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty
(or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Loan Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent
of the Borrower Agent or (h) to the extent such Information either (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach
of this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Lender Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties.
For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party relating to
such Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis before
disclosure by such Loan Party; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof,
such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing,
effective from the date of commencement of discussions concerning the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties hereto and
each of their employees, representatives or other agents may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the

Section 9.14        Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan,
together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively
the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted
for, charged or otherwise received by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable
in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and,
to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result
of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans
or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such Lender shall have received such cumulated amount,
together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of payment.


 


Section 9.15        [Reserved].


 


Section 9.16        Bermuda
Law Event. To the extent that the making by any Loan Party of any covenant set forth in either of Articles 5 and 6 or in any
of the Loan Documents is for such Loan Party not permitted by, or is unlawful under or is in violation of, any Bermuda Law pertaining
to fetters on statutory powers, then such covenant shall be deemed not made by nor applicable to such Loan Party; but if such Loan
Party shall take or fail to take any action which would have breached such covenant had the same been applicable to such Loan Party,
such action or failure to take action shall (after giving effect to such notice and cure period, if any, that would have applied
to a breach of such covenant under Section 7.01 hereof or other equivalent provision of another applicable Loan Document)
constitute a “Bermuda Law Event.”


 


Section 9.17        Borrower
Agent. (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates the Borrower Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity
to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter
required hereunder on behalf of such Borrower, and hereby authorizes the Lender to pay over or credit proceeds of all Loans hereunder
in accordance with the request of the Borrower Agent. The Borrower Agent hereby acknowledges such designation and authorization,
and accepts such appointment. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Borrower Agent to take such action on
its behalf under the respective provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any other instruments, documents
and agreements referred to herein or therein, and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as
are specifically delegated to or required of the Borrower Agent by the respective terms and provisions hereof and thereof, and
such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, including, without limitation, to submit on behalf of each Borrower Loan
Requests, and notices of conversion or continuation of Loans to the Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
The Borrower Agent is further authorized and directed by each of the Borrowers to take all such actions on behalf of such Borrower
necessary to exercise the specific powers granted in the preceding sentences of this paragraph and to perform such other duties
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and deliver such documents as delegated to or required of the Borrower Agent by the
terms hereof or thereof. The Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Documents from the Borrower
Agent as a notice or communication from all Borrowers, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given
to any Borrower hereunder to the Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation
and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower Agent shall be deemed for all purposes to
have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same
had been made directly by such Borrower.

(b)        The
administration of this Agreement as a co-borrowing facility with the Borrower Agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is
solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers and at their request. The Lender shall not incur liability to the Borrowers as a result
thereof. To induce the Lender to do so and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies the Lender and holds the
Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against
the Lender by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the administration of this Agreement as provided herein, reliance
by the Lender on any request or instruction from the Borrower Agent or any other action taken by the Lender with respect to this
Section except due to willful misconduct or gross negligence by the indemnified party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final and non-appealable judgment).


 


ARTICLE
10



JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWERS


 


Section 10.01        Joint
and Several Obligations. By signing this Agreement, each Borrower agrees that it is liable, jointly and severally with the
other Borrowers, for the payment of the notes and all Debt and other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and that the Lender can enforce such Debt and obligations against any Borrower, in the Lender’s sole
and unlimited discretion.


 


Section 10.02        Lender
Parties’ Rights to Administer Credit. The Lender and each Borrower may at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of, or notice to, the other Borrowers, without incurring responsibility to the other Borrowers, and without affecting,
impairing or releasing any of the Debt and other obligations of the other Borrowers hereunder:


 


(a)        alter,
change, modify, extend, release, renew, cancel, supplement or amend in any manner the Loan Documents, and the Borrowers’
joint and several liability shall continue to apply after giving effect to any such alteration, change, modification, extension,
release, renewal, cancellation, supplement or amendment;


 


(b)        sell,
exchange, surrender, realize upon, release (with or without consideration) or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order
any property of any Person mortgaged to the Lender or otherwise securing the Borrowers’ joint and several liability, or otherwise
providing recourse to the Lender with respect thereto;


 


(c)        exercise
or refrain from exercising any rights against a Borrower or others with respect to the Borrowers’ joint and several liability,
or otherwise act or refrain from acting;


 


(d)        settle
or compromise any Borrower’s joint and several liability, any security therefor or other recourse with respect thereto, or
subordinate the payment or performance of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower
to any creditor of any Borrower, including without limitation, the Lender and any Borrower;


 


(e)        apply
any sums received by the Lender from any source in respect of any liabilities of any Borrower to the Lender to any of such liabilities,
regardless of whether the promissory notes remain unpaid;


 




    	 	72	 



     


    

 


(f)        fail
to set off or release, in whole or in part, any balance of any account or any credit on its books in favor of any Borrower, or
of any other Person, and extend credit in any manner whatsoever to any Borrower, and generally deal with any Borrower and any security
for the Borrowers’ joint and several liability or any recourse with respect thereto as the Lender may see fit; and


 


(g)        consent
to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without
limitation, any agreement providing Collateral for the payment of the Borrowers’ joint and several liability or any other
indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Lender.


 


Section 10.03        Primary
Obligation. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Borrowers’ joint and several liability
or of any security therefor or other recourse with respect thereto shall affect, impair or be a defense to the other Borrowers’
joint and several liability, and all Debt and other obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents are primary Debt and
obligations of each Borrower.


 


Section 10.04        Payments
Recovered From Lender. If any payment received by the Lender and applied to the Debt and other obligations hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents is subsequently set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason (including,
without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of a Borrower or any other obligor), the Debt and other obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which such payment was applied shall be deemed to have continued in existence,
notwithstanding such application, and each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for such Debt and other obligations as
fully as if such application had never been made.


 


Section 10.05        No
Release. Until the promissory notes and all other Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents have been paid in full
and each and every one of the covenants and agreements of this Agreement are fully performed, the Debt and other obligations of
each Borrower hereunder shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing (other than irrevocable payment in full)
which might, but for this provision of this Agreement, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, or by
reason of any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance or delay or other act or omission of the Lender or its failure to proceed
promptly or otherwise, or by reason of any action taken or omitted by the Lender whether or not such action or failure to act varies
or increases the risk of, or affects the rights or remedies of, any Borrower, nor shall any modification of any of the promissory
notes or other Loan Documents or release of any security therefor by operation of Law or by the action of any third party affect
in any way the Debt and other obligations of any Borrower hereunder, and each Borrower hereby expressly waives and surrenders any
defense to its liability hereunder based upon any of the foregoing acts, omissions, things, agreements or waivers of any of them.
No Borrower shall be exonerated with respect to its liabilities under this Agreement by any act or thing except irrevocable payment
and performance of the Debt and other obligations hereunder, it being the purpose and intent of this Agreement that such Debt and
other obligations constitute the direct and primary Debt and obligations of each Borrower and that the covenants, agreements and
all Debt and other obligations of each Borrower hereunder be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable.


 




    	 	73	 



     


    

 


Section 10.06        Actions
Not Required. Each Borrower hereby waives any and all right to cause a marshalling of the other Borrowers’ assets or
any other action by any court or other governmental body with respect thereto insofar as the rights of the Lender hereunder are
concerned or to cause the Lender to proceed against any security for the Borrowers’ joint and several liability or any other
recourse which the Lender may have with respect thereto, and further waives any and all requirements that the Lender institute
any action or proceeding at Law or in equity against the other Borrowers or any other Person, or with respect to this Agreement,
the Loan Documents, or any Collateral for the Borrowers’ joint and several liability, as a condition precedent to making
demand on, or bringing an action or obtaining and/or enforcing a judgment against, each Borrower. Each Borrower further waives
any requirement that the Lender seek performance by the other Borrowers or any other Person, of any Debt or other obligation under
this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any Collateral for the Borrowers’ joint and several liability as a condition precedent
to making a demand on, or bringing any action or obtaining and/or enforcing a judgment against, any Borrower. No Borrower shall
have any right of setoff against the Lender with respect to any of its Debt and other obligations hereunder. Any remedy or right
hereby granted which shall be found to be unenforceable as to any Person or under any circumstance, for any reason, shall in no
way limit or prevent the enforcement of such remedy or right as to any other Person or circumstance, nor shall such unenforceability
limit or prevent enforcement of any other remedy or right hereby granted.


 


Section 10.07       Deficiencies.
Each Borrower specifically agrees that in the event of a foreclosure or other exercise of remedies under a Security Document held
by the Lender that secures any part or all of the Borrowers’ joint and several liability, and in the event of a deficiency
resulting therefrom, each Borrower shall be, and hereby is expressly made, liable to the Lender for the full amount of such deficiency
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or provision of such agreement, any document or documents evidencing the
indebtedness secured by such agreement or any other document or any provision of applicable Law which might otherwise prevent the
Lender from enforcing and/or collecting such deficiency. Each Borrower hereby waives any right to notice of a foreclosure under
any Security Document, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, by the other Borrowers which secures any part or all of the Borrowers’
joint and several liability.


 


Section 10.08      Borrower
Bankruptcy. Each Borrower expressly agrees that its liability and Debt under the promissory notes, this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall not in any way be affected by the institution by or against the other Borrowers or any other Person or entity
of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or any other similar proceedings for relief
under any Debtor Relief Law, or any action taken or not taken by the Lender in connection therewith, and that any discharge of
any Borrower’s joint and several liability pursuant to any such Debtor Relief Law shall not discharge or otherwise affect
in any way the Debt and other obligations of the other Borrowers under the promissory notes, this Agreement and any other Loan
Document, and that upon or at any time after the institution of any of the above actions, at the Lender’s sole discretion,
the Borrowers’ joint and several Debt and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be enforceable against
any Borrower that is not itself the subject of such proceedings. Each Borrower expressly waives any right to argue that the Lender’s
enforcement of any remedies against that Borrower is stayed by reason of the pendency of any such proceedings against the other
Borrowers.


 




    	 	74	 



     


    

 


Section 10.09       Limited
Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Borrower hereunder or any setoff or application of funds of
any Borrower by the Lender, until 731 days after the Debt and other obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have
been irrevocably paid in full, such Borrower shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Lender against
the other Borrowers or any Guarantor or any Collateral or Guarantee or right of offset held by the Lender for the payment of the
Debt and other obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, nor shall such Borrower seek or be entitled to seek any
contribution or reimbursement from the other Borrowers or any Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Borrower hereunder.
If any amount shall be paid to a Borrower on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Debt and other obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall not have been irrevocably paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Borrower
in trust for the Lender, segregated from other funds of such Borrower and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Borrower, be turned
over to the Lender in the exact form received by such Borrower (duly indorsed by such Borrower to the Lender, if required), to
be applied against the Debt and other obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, whether matured or unmatured, in
such order as the Lender may determine.


 


Section 10.10       Borrowers’
Financial Condition. Each Borrower is familiar with the financial condition of the other Borrowers, and each Borrower has executed
and delivered this Agreement and the other Loan Documents based on that Borrower’s own judgment and not in reliance upon
any statement or representation of the Lender. The Lender shall not have any obligation to provide any Borrower with any advice
whatsoever or to inform any Borrower at any time of the Lender’s actions, evaluations or conclusions on the financial condition
or any other matter concerning any Borrower.


 


Section 10.11      Relationship
of Borrowers. Each Borrower represents that such Borrower and its business operations receive mutual support and other benefits
from the other Borrowers, and it expects to derive benefits from the extension of credit accommodations to each other Borrower
by the Lender and finds it advantageous, desirable and in its best interests to execute and deliver this Agreement and the promissory
notes to the Lender.


 


Section 10.12      Limitation.
(a) If the Debt and other obligations of a Borrower hereunder would be held or determined by a court or tribunal having competent
jurisdiction to be void, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of its aggregate liability under this Agreement, the
promissory notes or the other Loan Documents, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the promissory notes
or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the aggregate amount of the liability of such Loan Party under this Agreement, the
promissory notes and the other Loan Documents shall, without any further action by such Borrower, the Lender or any other Person,
be automatically limited and reduced to an amount which is valid and enforceable.


 


(b)        Without
limiting the generality of paragraph (a), above, each Borrower and the Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all
such parties that none of this Agreement, the promissory notes or any other Loan Document constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance
under the federal Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyances Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or similar state
statute applicable to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Therefore, such parties agree that the Debt and other obligations
of a Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be limited to such maximum amount as will, after giving effect
to such maximum amount and other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Borrower that are relevant under such Laws, and after
giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of the other Borrowers
and any other obligor, result in such Debt and obligations not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
