The principal amount of this Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, after at any time from the date of issuance at the option

Note or the making of any notation thereon. Any payment made after 1:00 p.m. New York time, on a Business Day will be deemed made
on the next following Business Day. If the due date of any payment in respect of this Note would otherwise fall on a day that is
not a Business Day, such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable on any principal
so extended for the period of such extension. All amounts payable under this Note shall be paid free and clear of, and without

terms hereof, at its principal office, the Company at its sole expense will execute and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note
or Notes, as the case may be, as requested by the holder or transferee, which aggregate principal amount is equal the unpaid principal
amount of such Note, registered as such holder or transferee may request, dated so that there will be no loss of interest on the
Note and otherwise of like tenor; provided that this Note may not be transferred by Payee to any Person other than Payee’s
affiliates without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The
issuance of new Notes shall be made without charge to the holder(s) of the surrendered Note for any issuance tax in respect thereof
or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such issuance, provided that each Noteholder shall pay any transfer taxes
associated therewith. The Company shall be entitled to regard the registered holder of this Note as the holder of the Note so registered
for all purposes until the Company or its agent, as applicable, is required to record a transfer of this Note on its register.
