		C.	Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights to defenses
arising by reason of (i) any “one-action” or “anti-deficiency” law or any other law that may prevent Landlord
from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency, against Guarantor before or after Landlord’s commencement or completion

THAT DESTROYS OR OTHERWISE ADVERSELY AFFECTS GUARANTOR’S SUBROGATION RIGHTS OR GUARANTOR’S RIGHTS TO PROCEED AGAINST TENANT
FOR REIMBURSEMENT; (iii) any disability, insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of authority or power, death, insanity, minority, dissolution,

otherwise prevented; (ix) the benefits of any and all applicable statutes, laws, rules or regulations which may require the prior or
concurrent joinder of any other party to any action on this Guaranty; (x) any release or other reduction of the Obligations arising as
a result of the expansion, release, substitution, deletion, addition, or replacement (whether or not in accordance with the terms of
the Lease) of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (xi) any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Landlord to take or prosecute
any action for the collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations or to foreclose or take or prosecute any action in connection
with any lien or right of security (including perfection thereof) existing or to exist in connection with, or as security for, any of
the Obligations, it being the intention hereof that Guarantor shall remain liable as a principal on the Obligations notwithstanding any
act, omission or event that might, but for the provisions hereof, otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of Guarantor. Guarantor
hereby waives all defenses of a surety to which it may be entitled by statute or otherwise.

Guaranty. If any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall
not have been paid and performed in full, Guarantor shall immediately deliver the payment to Landlord for credit against the then outstanding
balance of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

and powers herein granted including, without limitation, filing UCC financing or continuation statements. Pledgor hereby authorizes Landlord

(e) Pledgor
will furnish to Landlord from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Pledged Company Interests and
such other reports in connection with the Pledged Company Interests as Landlord may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

 

(f) Pledgor
will not, unless (i) it shall have given ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to such effect to Landlord and (ii) all action
necessary or advisable, in Landlord’s opinion, to protect and perfect the Liens and security interests intended to be created hereunder

under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Guaranty, or any other Guaranty Documents, which may be payable or determined

6. Certain
Understandings of Parties; Registration of Pledge; Control of Pledged Company Interests, Etc.

 

(a) All
of the Pledged Company Interests are issued in the form of “certificated securities” within the meaning of Article 8 of
the Code, including Section 8-102 thereof) (whether or not qualifying as investment property) (collectively, “Certificated
Securities”), and Pledgor has delivered to Landlord all Certificated Securities constituting the Pledged Company
Interests, duly indorsed in blank within the meaning of the Code, and each of such Certificated Securities have been in the physical
possession of Pledgor (or an agent or representative thereof) at all times prior to such delivery to Landlord. Pledgor covenants and
agrees that (i) it shall not permit Pledged Entity to convert existing equity interests, or issue new equity interests, other than
as Certificated Securities, (ii) such Pledged Company Interests are and shall continue to be evidenced by one (1) certificate issued
to Pledgor, (iii) each such certificate has been validly issued and is fully paid for, (iv) each such certificate represents
and embodies all right, title and interest in and to the Pledged Company Interests, (v) each such certificate has not been modified
or amended and remains in full force and effect, (vi) that ownership of each such certificate is registered in the respective books
and records of the Pledged Entity in the name of Pledgor, subject only to the pledge thereof in favor of Landlord, and (vii) this
Agreement and the Acknowledgment of the Pledged Entity executed in connection hterewith is intended to, and shall, provide Landlord
with “control” over the Collateral within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Pledgor shall promptly notify Landlord if any Pledged Company Interests (whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Pledgor) are not
evidenced by a Certificated Security, and shall promptly thereafter take all actions required to perfect the security interest of
Landlord in such Pledged Company Interests under applicable law as required hereunder. Pledgor further agrees to take such
additional actions as Landlord deems reasonably necessary or desirable to effect the foregoing and to permit Landlord to exercise
any of its rights and remedies hereunder and agrees to provide an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Landlord with respect to any
such pledge of equity interests which are not Certificated Securities promptly upon request of Landlord. WITHOUT LIMITING THE EFFECT
OF THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING CLAUSE, PLEDGOR HEREBY GRANTS TO LANDLORD AN IRREVOCABLE PROXY TO VOTE THE PLEDGED COMPANY INTERESTS
AND TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF THE PLEDGED COMPANY INTERESTS WOULD BE
ENTITLED (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION (A) GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS, (B) CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS, (C) VOTING AT SUCH
MEETINGS, AND (D) VOTING AT ANY TIME OR PLACE) WITH RESPECT TO ALL ARTICLE 8 MATTERS (AS DEFINED BELOW), WHICH PROXY SHALL BE
EFFECTIVE AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY PLEDGED COMPANY INTERESTS ON THE
RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY OTHER PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF THE PLEDGED COMPANY INTERESTS OR ANY OFFICER OR
AGENT THEREOF) AS OF THE DATE HEREOF) AND WHICH PROXY SHALL ONLY TERMINATE UPON THE PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE IN FULL OF THE
GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS (EXCLUSIVE OF ANY INDEMNIFICATION OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY STATED IN ANY OF THE GUARANTY
DOCUMENTS TO SURVIVE THE SATISFACTION OF THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS). The proxy granted and appointed in this Section 6(a)
shall include the right to sign such Pledgor’s name (as a member of the Pledged Entity) to any consent, certificate or other
document relating to an Article 8 Matter and the Pledged Company Interests that applicable law may permit or require, to cause the
Pledged Company Interests to be voted in accordance with the preceding sentence. Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that there
are no other proxies and powers of attorney with respect to an Article 8 Matter other than as set forth in this Agreement. Pledgor
shall not give a subsequent proxy or power of attorney or enter into any other voting agreement with respect to the Pledged Company
Interests with respect to any Article 8 Matter and any attempt to do so with respect to an Article 8 Matter shall be void and of no
effect. As used herein, “Article 8 Matter” means any action, decision, determination or election by the Pledged
Entity or its members that its membership interests or other equity interests, or any of them, be, or cease to be, a
“security” as defined in and governed by Article 8 of the Code, and all other matters related to any such action,
decision, determination or election. The proxies and powers granted by Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement are coupled with an
interest and are given to secure the performance of the Pledgor’s obligations.

 

    7

     

    

 

(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to better assure the perfection of the security interest of Landlord in the Pledged Company Interests concurrently with
the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Pledgor shall cause Pledged Entity to execute the Acknowledgment in the form of Exhibit
A attached hereto, and send written instructions in the form of Exhibit B hereto to each issuer thereof (an “Issuer”),
and shall cause the Issuer to, and the Issuer shall, deliver to Landlord the Confirmation Statement and Instruction Agreement in the form
of Exhibit C hereto pursuant to which the Issuer will confirm that it has registered the pledge effected by this Agreement on its
books and agrees to comply with the instructions of Landlord in respect of the Pledged Company Interests without further consent of Pledgor
or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph, neither the written instructions nor the Confirmation Statement and Instruction
Agreement shall be construed as expanding the rights of Landlord to give instructions with respect to the Collateral beyond such rights
set forth in this Agreement.

 

(c) In
addition, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Pledgor shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) the original
certificate evidencing 100% of the limited liability company interests owned by Pledgor in Pledged Entity.

 

(d) Pledgor
shall cause the limited liability company agreement of the Pledged Entity to contain the following provisions (and shall not amend the
same during the term of the Lease and/or Guaranty without Landlord’s prior approval):

 

The limited liability company
interests in the Company shall be evidenced by certificates in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, and each such certificate
shall be executed by the Member on behalf of the Company. On the date hereof, a certificate is being issued to HOF Village Newco,
LLC, evidencing 100% of the limited liability company interests in the Company. Each limited liability company interest in the
Company shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Delaware Uniform
Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware (the
“UCC”), and (ii) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or
hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions thereto as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of
Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995. The Company shall maintain
books for the purpose of registering the transfer of limited liability company interests. A transfer of limited liability company
interests requires delivery of an endorsed certificate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the
extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any non-waivable provision of the Code, such provision of the Code
shall control.

7. Cash
Dividends; Voting Rights. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Guaranty Documents,
unless an Event of Default (hereinafter defined) shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor shall be permitted to receive (and further
distribute) all limited liability company interest distributions or cash distributions paid or distributed in the normal course of business
of Pledged Entity, as applicable, and to exercise all voting and limited liability company interests with respect to the Pledged Company
Interests, provided that no vote shall be cast or right exercised or other action taken which, violates the express terms of any provision
of the Guaranty or any other Guaranty Documents. As used herein, an “Event of Default” shall mean an “Event of
Default” as defined in the Lease, a default under the Guaranty, or a default under this Agreement.

 

8.
Rights of Landlord.

 

(a) If
an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Landlord shall have the right to receive any and all income, cash dividends, distributions,
proceeds or other property received or paid in respect of the Pledged Company Interests and make application thereof to the Guaranteed
Obligations, in such order as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may elect, in accordance with the Guaranty Documents. If an Event of Default
shall occur and be continuing, then all such Pledged Company Interests at Landlord’s option, shall be registered in the name of
Landlord or its nominee (if not already so registered), and Landlord or its nominee may thereafter exercise: (i) all voting and all regular
limited liability company and other rights pertaining to the Pledged Company Interests and (ii) any and all rights of conversion, exchange,
and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Company Interests as if it were the absolute owner
thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Company Interests upon the
merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the organizational structure of Pledged Entity,
or upon the exercise by Pledgor or Landlord of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Company Interests, and in connection
therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Company Interests with any committee, depositary, transfer agent,
registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as it may determine), all without liability except to account for
property actually received by it, but Landlord shall have no duty to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible
for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

 

(b) The
rights of Landlord under this Agreement shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by Landlord of any right or remedy against
Pledgor or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against
any other security therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to
demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall it be under any obligation to
sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with
regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.

 

    9

     

    

 

(c) Upon
the earlier of (i) satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and payment of all amounts owed under the Guaranty Documents (exclusive
of any indemnification or other obligations which are expressly stated in any of the Guaranty Documents to survive the satisfaction of
the Guaranteed Obligations), and (ii) receipt by Landlord of a FIRREA-compliant appraisal in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to Landlord, performed by an appraiser reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (but in all events having at least ten (10) years’ experience
appraising properties similar to the Property in the greater Canton, Ohio area), and evidencing that Tenant’s interest in the Property
(taking into consideration liabilities, debt and debt-like equivalents, such as subleases and special assessments, Tourism Development
District (“TDD”) bonds, tax increment financing (“TIF”) regimes and any minimum service payments thereunder, PACE
loans, and any other Ohio Governmental Financing Programs (as defined in the Lease)) has a fair market value of at least One Hundred Fifty
Million and No/100 Dollars ($150,000,000.00), Landlord’s rights under this Agreement shall terminate and Landlord shall execute
and deliver to Pledgor any and all original certificates or powers and UCC-3 termination statements or similar documents and agreements
necessary to terminate all of Landlord’s rights under this Agreement and all other Guaranty Documents.

 

(d) Pledgor
also authorizes Landlord, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Sections 9
or 10 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

 

(e) The
powers conferred on Landlord hereunder are solely to protect Landlord’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty
upon Landlord to exercise any such powers. Landlord shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the
exercise of such powers, and neither Landlord nor any of its officers, directors, or employees or agents shall be responsible to Pledgor
for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(f) If
Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, and Landlord, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement,
shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses of Landlord incurred in
connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Lease) if such expenses
are not paid on demand, shall be payable by Pledgor to Landlord on demand and shall constitute obligations secured hereby.

 

9. Remedies.
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Landlord may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted in this
Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Guaranteed Obligations:

 

(a) all
rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code (whether or not said Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and
remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction
where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent permitted by
law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if Landlord were the sole and absolute
owner thereof (and Pledgor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);

 

    10

     

    

 

(b) Landlord
may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment,
arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral; and/or

 

(c) Landlord
in its discretion may, in its name or in the name of Pledgor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect, direct payment of or receive any
money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation
to do so.

 

Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Landlord, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice
of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below or otherwise required hereby) to or upon Pledgor, Pledged Entity,
or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices, or other defenses, are
hereby waived to the extent permitted under applicable law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and
realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise
dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public
or private sale or sales, in the over-the- counter market, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Landlord or elsewhere
upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best in its sole discretion, for cash or
on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Landlord shall have the right, without notice or
publication, to adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time
and place fixed for such sale, and any such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be adjourned without further
notice. Landlord shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private
sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of Pledgor,
which right or equity of redemption is hereby waived or released to the extent permitted by applicable law. Landlord shall apply any
Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or
sale, after deducting all actual and reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or
safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Landlord hereunder, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Guaranteed
Obligations, in such order as Landlord may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Landlord of any other
amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Sections 9-610 and 9-615 of the Code, need Landlord account
for the surplus, if any, to Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it
may acquire against Landlord arising out of the exercise by Landlord of any of its rights hereunder, except for any claims, damages
and demands it may have against Landlord arising from any violations by Landlord under Article 9 of the Code or the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of Landlord or its affiliates, or any agents or employees of the foregoing. If any notice of a
proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if
given at least sixty (60) days before such sale or other disposition.

 

(d) The
rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Landlord under this Agreement are cumulative and shall be in addition to all rights,
powers, privileges and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be
cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing the rights of Landlord hereunder.

 

    11

     

    

 

10.
Private Sales.

 

(a) Pledgor
recognizes that Landlord may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Company Interests, by reason of certain prohibitions
contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort
to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire
such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges and
agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to Landlord than if such sale were a public sale
and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable
manner solely by virtue of being a private sale. Landlord shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Company Interests
for the period of time necessary to permit Pledged Entity or Pledgor to register such securities for public sale under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Pledged Entity or Pledgor would agree to do so.

 

(b) Pledgor
shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make any
sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Company Interests pursuant to this Section 10 valid and binding and in compliance
with any and all other requirements of applicable law. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this
Section 10 will cause irreparable injury to Landlord, that Landlord has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and,
as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 10 shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor,
and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for
a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Guaranty Documents or the defense that Landlord has not complied
with its obligations expressly set forth herein, any other applicable law, or any applicable provision of the Code.

 

(c) Landlord
shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale conducted in a commercially
reasonable manner, it being agreed that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily
in value and that are not customarily sold in a recognized market. Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Landlord arising by reason
of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might
have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, even if Landlord accepts the
first offer received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one offeree, provided that Landlord has acted in a commercially reasonable
manner and has conducted such private sale in accordance with the Code, and other applicable law.

 

(d) The
Code states that Landlord is able to purchase the Pledged Company Interests only if they are sold at a public sale. Landlord has
advised Pledgor that SEC staff personnel have issued various No-Action Letters describing procedures which, in the view of the SEC
staff, permit a foreclosure sale of securities to occur in a manner that is public for purposes of Article 9 of the Code, yet not
public for purposes of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Code permits Pledgor to agree on the standards for
determining whether Landlord has complied with its obligations under Article 9. Pursuant to the Code, Pledgor specifically agrees
(x) that it shall not raise any objection to Landlord’s purchase of the Pledged Company Interests (through bidding on the
obligations or otherwise) and (y) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in the No-Action
Letters (i) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the Code; (ii) will be considered commercially
reasonable notwithstanding that the Landlord, has not registered or sought to register the Pledged Company Interests under the
Securities Laws, even if Pledgor or Pledged Entity agrees to pay all costs of the registration process; and (iii) shall be
considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that the Landlord purchases the Pledged Company Interests at such a
sale.

 

    12

     

    

 

(e) Pledgor
agrees that Landlord shall not have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Pledged
Company Interests sold by Landlord pursuant to this Agreement. Landlord, may, in its sole discretion, among other things, accept the first
offer received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers. Without in any way limiting Landlord’s right
to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which is considered commercially reasonable, Pledgor hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale
conducted in accordance with the following provisions shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale and hereby irrevocably waives
any right to contest any such sale:

 

(i)
Landlord conducts the foreclosure sale in the State of New York,

 

(ii) The
foreclosure sale is conducted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,

 

(iii)
Not more than seventy-five (75) days before, and not less than sixty (60) days in advance of the foreclosure sale, Landlord notifies
Pledgor at the address set forth herein of the time and place of such foreclosure sale,

 

(iv) The
foreclosure sale is conducted by an auctioneer licensed in the State of New York and is conducted in front of the New York Supreme Court
located in New York City or such other New York State Court having jurisdiction over the Collateral on any Business Day between the hours
of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.,

 

(v) The
notice of the date, time and location of the foreclosure sale is published in the New York Times or Wall Street Journal (or such other
newspaper widely circulated in New York, New York) and one (1) other newspaper widely circulated in New York, New York) for seven (7)
consecutive days prior to the date of the foreclosure sale, and

 

(vi) Landlord
sends notification of the foreclosure sale to all secured parties identified as a result of a search of the UCC financings statements
in the filing offices located in the State of Delaware conducted not later than twenty (20) days and not earlier than thirty (30) days
before such notification date.

 

    13

     

    

 

(f) Landlord
shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of any Collateral undertaken in accordance with the provisions hereof and the Code,
or any part thereof, at any private sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed that some or all of the Collateral
is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value and that are not customarily sold in a recognized market.
Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Landlord arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have
been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate
amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, even if Landlord accepts the first offer received and does not offer any Collateral to more than
one offeree, provided that Landlord has acted in a commercially reasonable manner in conducting such private sale in accordance with the
Code, other applicable law and the provisions hereof.

 

11. Limitation
on Duties Regarding Collateral. Landlord’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping
and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it
in the same manner as Landlord deals with similar securities and property for its own account. Neither Landlord nor any of its directors,
officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in
doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or otherwise.

 

12. Financing
Statements; Other Documents. On the date hereof, Pledgor shall deliver to Landlord the certificates
with respect to the Pledged Company Interests owned by it, together with the Stock Powers (or similar instruments or documents) set forth
in Section 3 and hereby authorizes Landlord to file UCC-1 financing statements with respect to the Collateral. Pledgor agrees to
deliver any other document or instrument which Landlord may reasonably request with respect to the Collateral for the purposes of obtaining
or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Pledgor hereby authorizes the filing of financing statements (and amendments of financing statements and continuation statements)
that name Pledgor as debtor and Landlord as secured party and that cover all personal property or all assets of Pledgor. Pledgor hereby
ratifies the filing of any such financing statements (or amendments of financing statements or continuation statements) that were filed
prior to the execution hereof.

 

13. Attorney-in-Fact.
During the continuance of an Event of Default, without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to Landlord, Landlord is
hereby appointed, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, the attorney-in-fact of Pledgor for
the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instruments which Landlord may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof including, without limitation:

 

(a) to
ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or
in respect of any of the Collateral;

 

(b) to
receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) above;

 

    14

     

    

 

(c) to
file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any
of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Landlord, with respect to any of the Collateral; and

 

(d) to
execute, in connection with the sale provided for in Section 9 or 10, any endorsement, assignments, or other instruments
of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.

 

If so requested by Landlord,
Pledgor shall ratify and confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to Landlord at the Pledgor’s expense all
proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance of transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.

 

14.
Strict Foreclosure.

 

(a) Landlord
may, but shall have no obligation to, in its sole and absolute discretion, either negotiate an agreement (“Strict Foreclosure
Agreement”) with Pledgor, or make a written proposal (“Strict Foreclosure Proposal”) to Pledgor, to retain
the Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 9-620
of the Code.

 

(b) In
the case of a Strict Foreclosure Proposal, Pledgor shall, within sixty (60) days of Pledgor’s receipt of the Strict Foreclosure
Proposal, indicate Pledgor’s (i) acceptance or rejection of such Strict Foreclosure Proposal and (ii) waiver of any right to redeem
