(c)               
Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE)

(d)               
Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. Sections 10.14 and 10.15 of the

request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement (each a “Communication”), including
Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures.
Each of the Loan Parties agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on each
of the Loan Parties to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature,
will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Loan Parties enforceable against such in accordance with the terms
thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts
as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication.
For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Administrative
Agent and each of the Secured Parties of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as
scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or

in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary
course of the such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic
Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity
and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no
obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed
to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic
Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative
Agent or any Lender, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof,
 “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to
them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time

You have advised Lender
that Borrower anticipates failing to make the payment of interest on each of the Notes on the interest payment date (i) with respect to
the March 2020 Note, on April 30, 2021 (the “March Note Interest Payment”) and (ii) with respect to the DDTL Note,
on May 1, 2021 (the “DDTL Interest Payment”, together with the March Note Interest Payment, the “Interest
Payments”). An Event of Default shall exist under each Note in connection with Borrower’s failure to make the Interest

from exercising rights and remedies under the Notes and the other Loan Documents arising solely from the occurrence and continuation of
the Specified Defaults. The “Forbearance Period” means the period beginning on the date hereof and ending upon the
earlier of (a) May 15, 2021, and (b) the expiration of any other forbearance agreement related to Borrower’s indebtedness or upon

by email)). After the end of the Forbearance Period, Lender shall be entitled to exercise and to enforce any and all rights and remedies
available to Lender under the Notes. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this letter agreement, immediately
and automatically upon occurrence of an Event of Default under Sections 12(a)(iii) of the Notes, all obligations under the Notes
will become immediately due and payable, and Lender shall become entitled to immediately exercise all rights, remedies, powers and privileges
