THE TERM LOAN


 


2.1
Term Loan. Lender agrees to loan to Borrower and Borrower agrees to borrow, on the date of execution of this Agreement,

2.2
Interest Rate. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at the LIBOR-Based Rate, and interest
shall be computed, assessed and payable as set forth below.


 


2.3
Payment of the Term Loan. Subject to the remainder of this Article 2, the Loan shall be repaid in monthly installments
on the first day of each calendar month (“Installment Payments”) as follows:


 


(a)
During the period beginning on the first month after the Closing Date and continuing until the last month preceding the Maturity
Date, the Installment Payments shall be equal to the amount of accrued interest on the outstanding Term Loan Amount calculated
at the LIBOR-Based Rate.


 


(b)
On the Maturity Date, the entire outstanding Term Loan Amount, plus all accrued interest on the outstanding Term Loan Amount calculated
at the LIBOR-Based Rate shall be paid.


 


2.4
Calculation of LIBOR-Based Rate. On the date which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date each Installment Payment
is due pursuant to the Loan (the “Calculation Date”), Lender will deliver to Borrower a billing statement setting

payable to the holders of the Senior Note and not to the holders of the Subordinated Note. All payments shall first be applied
to all accrued and unpaid interest, with the remainder, if any, applied to unpaid principal.


 


(b)
The Exit Fee shall be deemed consideration for Borrower’s right to prepay the Loan and shall not be deemed interest payable
hereunder; provided however, in the event any court of applicable jurisdiction determines that the application of the Exit Fee
would cause the effective rate of interest on the Loan to be greater than the Maximum Rate, such Exit Fee shall be reduced such
that the effective rate of interest on the Loan is equal to the Maximum Rate.


 


(c)
Borrower at any time may request from Lender to prepay the Loan in part, and may only do so with Lender’s consent, which
consent can be denied in Lender’s sole discretion, and pursuant to terms mutually agreed between Borrower and Lender. Any

(a)
Notwithstanding any conflicting provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any applicable law or regulation shall (i) subject
Lender to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to the Loan, this Agreement,
any of the Notes, or any other Loan Document or the payment by Borrower of any amounts payable to Lender with respect to the Loan,
this Agreement, any of the Notes, or any other Loan Document; or (ii) materially change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender
of the principal of or the interest on any Note or any other amounts payable to Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document; or (iii) impose on Lender any other condition or requirement with respect to this Agreement, any of the Notes or any

all or any part of the principal of any of the Loan, or (B) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or any other sum payable
by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, or (C) to require Lender to make (or Borrower

Loan Document, then, and in each such case, Borrower will pay to Lender, within ten (10) days of written notice, such additional
amounts as will (upon the mutual agreement of Lender and Borrower) be sufficient to compensate Lender for such additional cost,
withholding reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. Anything in this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding,
the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not apply in the case of any additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone
interest or other sum resulting solely from or arising solely as a consequence of any taxes charged upon or by reference to the
overall net income, profits or gains of Lender.


 


(b)

law, any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges of Lender under or in respect of this Agreement, any of the Notes or any
other Loan Document shall be or become invalid, unenforceable, or materially restricted then Lender may, by giving notice to Borrower,
declare all of the Obligations, including without limitation the entire unpaid principal of the Notes, all of the unpaid interest
accrued on the Notes and any and all other sums due and payable by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement, the Notes and any
other Loan Document, to be immediately due and payable, and, thereupon, such Obligations shall (if not already due and payable)
forthwith become and be due and payable without further notice or other formalities of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived.

therefor may require, against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, damages, losses, costs, expenses and all other liabilities
whatsoever which Lender or any of its directors, managers, or officers may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any failure
by Borrower to pay any amount payable under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document as and when such amount shall
first have become due and payable (giving effect, however, to expiration of the period of grace (if any) applicable thereto),
or (b) the acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations, or (c) any failure by Borrower to perform or comply with any

by Borrower under Sections 3.1 or 3.2 of this Agreement together with third party documentation evidencing such amounts, shall

7.2
Certain Remedies.


 


(a)
If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing:


 


(i)
Lender may, by giving notice to Borrower, declare all of the Obligations, including the entire unpaid principal balance of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, all interest accrued thereon and any and all other sums payable by Borrower under this Agreement
(including but not limited to any Exit Fee if applicable), the Notes or any other Loan Document, to be immediately due and payable.
Thereupon, all of such Obligations which are not already due and payable shall forthwith become absolutely and unconditionally
due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any further notice or any other formalities of any kind, all of which
are hereby expressly and irrevocably waived. Any commitment or obligation, if any, on the part of Lender to make loans or otherwise
extend credit to or in favor of Borrower shall immediately terminate.


 


(ii)
Lender may proceed to protect and enforce all or any of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges under this Agreement, the
Notes or any other Loan Document by action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceedings, whether for specific performance
of any covenant contained.


 


(b)
Upon the occurrence and at any time during the continuance or existence of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(g) of this Agreement,
then the Obligations and all indebtedness then outstanding thereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable without
any notice by Lender to Borrower and any commitment or obligation, if any, on the part of Lender to make loans or otherwise extend
credit to or in favor of Borrower shall immediately terminate. Further, upon the occurrence or at any time during the continuance
or existence of any default hereunder, Lender may collect, deal with and dispose of all or any part of any security in any manner
permitted or authorized by the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law (including public or private sale), and
after deducting expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), Lender may apply the
proceeds thereof in part or full payment of any of the Obligations, whether due or not, in any manner or order Lender elects.
In addition to the foregoing, upon the occurrence and at any time during the continuance or existence of any default hereunder,
Lender may exercise any and all rights available to it under the Loan Documents or by application of law.


 




    	 	23	 



     


    

 


7.3
No Implied Waiver; Rights Cumulative. No delay by Lender in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder
or under any other Loan Document, or available to it at law or in equity, shall impair, prejudice or constitute a waiver of any
such right, remedy, power or privilege or be construed as a waiver of (or acquiescence to) any Event of Default. No right, remedy,
power or privilege conferred on or reserved to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, in equity or at law is intended to be exclusive
of any other right, remedy, power or privilege which may then be, or may thereafter become, available to Lender. All rights, remedies,
powers and privileges available to Lender shall be cumulative; any of the same may be exercised at such time or times and in such
order and manner as Lender shall (in its sole discretion) deem expedient.

8.9
Jurisdiction; Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance
with the internal, substantive laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles. The parties
voluntarily and irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Texas located in Travis County, Texas, and
the Federal Courts of the United States of America located in Travis County, Texas, over any dispute between or among the parties
related to or arising out of this Agreement, and each party irrevocably agrees that all such claims in respect of such dispute
shall be heard and determined exclusively in such courts. The parties hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts
and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the venue of such
dispute related to or arising out of this Agreement brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance
of such dispute. Each party agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Loan Document, Lender
may bring suit and otherwise make filings in any jurisdiction in which the Collateral is located to enforce its rights pursuant

enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.


 


8.12
Relationship. The relationship between Borrower and Lender is strictly contractual in nature, and is governed entirely
by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action which Lender may take hereunder
