pricing or similar service. In no event shall BNY Mellon be required to determine, or have any obligations with respect to, whether

solely for the Fund.

or omitted to be taken by it in good faith without negligence or willful misconduct in accordance with such Instructions. Such
application for Instructions may, at the option of BNY Mellon, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted
to be taken by BNY Mellon with respect to its duties or obligations under this Agreement and the date on and/or after which such
action shall be taken. BNY Mellon shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in accordance with a proposal
included in any such application on or after the date specified therein unless, prior to taking or omitting to take any such action,
BNY Mellon has received Instructions from an Authorized Person in response to such application specifying the action to be taken
or omitted.

or other assets, or accruals of interest or earnings thereon, from a pricing or similar service utilized, or subscribed to, by
BNY Mellon which the Fund directs BNY Mellon to utilize, and which BNY Mellon in its judgment deems reliable, BNY Mellon shall
not be responsible for, under any duty to inquire into, or deemed to make any assurances with respect to, the accuracy or completeness
of such information. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, BNY Mellon shall not be required to inquire into any valuation

services similar to the services provided pursuant to this Agreement for others may receive different valuations of the same or
different securities of the same issuers.

(m)            
BNY Mellon, in performing the services required of it under the terms of this Agreement, shall not be responsible for determining

reasonable best efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. Nor shall BNY Mellon be responsible
for delays or failures to supply the information or services specified in this Agreement where such delays or failures are caused

from and against any and all costs, expenses, damages, liabilities and claims (including claims asserted by a Fund), and reasonable
attorneys’ and accountants’ fees relating thereto, which are sustained or incurred or which may be asserted against
BNY Mellon or any BNY Mellon Affiliate, by reason of or as a result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by BNY Mellon or

Person, at USCF’s expense.

 

(b)       BNY
Mellon shall keep all books and records with respect to each Fund’s books of account, records of each Fund’s securities

(x) for a period of at least six (6) years, unless delivered to a duly appointed successor or to the Funds and (y) in accordance
with applicable Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) Regulation 1.31 in connection with the services provided

to the applicable Fund the statement required by paragraph (c)(2) thereof. BNY Mellon will maintain such other records as requested
by USCF, each Trust or each Fund and received by BNY Mellon.

13. 
Term of Agreement.

(a)       This
Agreement shall be effective on the date first written above and, unless terminated pursuant to its terms, shall continue until
11:59 PM on the date which is the third anniversary of such date (the “Initial Term”), at which time this Agreement
shall terminate, unless renewed in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b)       This
Agreement shall automatically renew for successive terms of one (1) year each (each, a “Renewal Term”), unless the
Fund or BNY Mellon gives written notice to the other party of its intent not to renew and such notice is received by the other
party not less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term (a “Non-Renewal
Notice”). In the event a party provides a Non-Renewal Notice, this Agreement shall terminate at 11:59 PM on the last day of
the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable.

(c)       If
a party materially breaches this Agreement (a “Defaulting Party”) the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”)
may give written notice thereof to the Defaulting Party (“Breach Notice”), and if such material breach shall not have
been remedied within thirty (30) days after the Breach Notice is given, then the Non Defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement
by giving written notice of termination to the Defaulting Party (“Breach Termination Notice”), in which case this Agreement
shall terminate as of 11:59 PM on the 90th day following the date the Breach Termination Notice is given, or such later date as
may be specified in the Breach Termination Notice (but not later than the last day of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal
Term, as appropriate). In all cases, termination by the Non-Defaulting Party shall not constitute a waiver by the Non-Defaulting
Party of any other rights it might have under this Agreement or otherwise against the Defaulting Party.

(d)       Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, BNY Mellon may in its sole discretion terminate this Agreement immediately by sending notice
thereof to the Fund upon the happening of any of the following: (i) the Fund commences as debtor any case or proceeding under
any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or there is commenced against the Fund any such case or proceeding; (ii) the Fund commences
as debtor any case or proceeding seeking the appointment of a receiver, conservator, trustee, custodian or similar official for
the Fund or any substantial part of its property or there is commenced against the Fund any such case or proceeding; (iii) the
Fund makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iv) the Fund admits in any recorded medium, written, electronic
or otherwise, its inability to pay its debts as they come due. BNY Mellon may exercise its termination right under this Section
13(d) at any time after the occurrence of any of the foregoing events notwithstanding that such event may cease to be continuing
prior to such exercise, and any delay in exercising this right shall not be construed as a waiver or other extinguishment of that
right. Any exercise by BNY Mellon of its termination right under this Section 13(d) shall be without any prejudice to any other
remedies or rights available to BNY Mellon and shall not be subject to any fee or penalty, whether monetary or equitable. Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 18, notice of termination under this Section 13(d) shall be considered given and effective when given,
not when received.

    	 	- 17 -	 

     

    

(e)       With
respect to any Fund that is a series of a Delaware statutory trust identified on Exhibit A-1 (for the purposes of this Section
13(e), each, a “Delaware Trust”), BNY Mellon agrees to look solely to the assets of each series of such Delaware Trust
(each, a “Trust Series”) and to USCF and its assets in respect of any claim against or obligation of such Trust Series.
BNY Mellon acknowledges and agrees that liability of a Trust Series, as a series of a Delaware Trust, is limited pursuant to Section
3804(a) of the Delaware Statutory Trust Act, such that (a) the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted
for or otherwise existing with respect to a Trust Series shall be enforceable against the assets of such Trust Series only, and
not against the assets of the Delaware Trust generally or the assets of any other series of the Delaware Trust, and (b) none of
the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for, or otherwise existing with respect to the Delaware Trust
generally and any other series of the Delaware Trust shall be enforceable against the assets of such Trust Series.

14. 
Amendment.

This Agreement
may not be amended, changed or modified in any manner except by a written agreement executed by BNY Mellon and the Fund to be bound
thereby, and authorized or approved by such Fund’s Board.

15. 
Assignment; Subcontracting.

(a)       This
Agreement shall extend to and shall be binding upon the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns; provided,
however, that this Agreement shall not be assignable or delegable by any Fund without the written consent of BNY Mellon, or by
BNY Mellon without the written consent of the affected Fund.

    	 	- 18 -	 

     

    

(b)        Notwithstanding
the foregoing: (i) BNY Mellon may assign or transfer this Agreement to any BNY Mellon Affiliate or transfer this Agreement in connection
with a sale of a majority or more of its assets, equity interests or voting control, provided that BNY Mellon gives the Funds thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice of such assignment or transfer and such assignment or transfer does not impair the provision of
services under this Agreement in any material respect, and the assignee or transferee agrees to be bound by all terms of this Agreement
in place of BNY Mellon; (ii) BNY Mellon may subcontract with, hire, engage or otherwise outsource to any BNY Mellon Affiliate with
respect to the performance of any one or more of the functions, services, duties or obligations of BNY Mellon under this Agreement
but any such subcontracting, hiring, engaging or outsourcing shall not relieve BNY Mellon of any of its liabilities hereunder;
(iii) BNY Mellon may subcontract with, hire, engage or otherwise outsource to an unaffiliated third party with respect to the performance
of any one or more of the functions, services, duties or obligations of BNY Mellon under this Agreement but any such subcontracting,
hiring, engaging or outsourcing shall (A) require the prior written consent of the Fund and (B) limit BNY Mellon’s liability
such that BNY Mellon shall only be liable for failure to reasonably select such unaffiliated third party, and BNY Mellon shall
have no liability for any acts or omissions to act of such unaffiliated third party; and (iv) BNY Mellon, in the course of providing
certain additional services requested by a Fund, including but not limited to, Typesetting, Money Market Fund or eBoard Book services
(“Vendor Eligible Services”) as further described in Schedule I, may in its sole discretion, enter into an agreement
or agreements with a financial printer, or electronic services provider (“Vendor”) to provide BNY Mellon with the ability
to generate certain reports or provide certain functionality. BNY Mellon shall not be obligated to perform any of the Vendor Eligible
Services unless an agreement between BNY Mellon and the Vendor for the provision of such services is then-currently in effect,
and shall only be liable for the failure to reasonably select the Vendor. Upon request, BNY Mellon will disclose the identity of
the Vendor and the status of the contractual relationship, and a Fund is free to attempt to contract directly with the Vendor for
the provision of the Vendor Eligible Services.

    	 	- 19 -	 

     

    

(c)       As
compensation for the Vendor Eligible Services rendered by BNY Mellon pursuant to this Agreement, USCF will pay to BNY Mellon such
fees as may be agreed to in writing by USCF and BNY Mellon. In the event USCF fails to make payment of such fees owed to BNY Mellon
contemplated by this Section 15(c), each Fund authorizes BNY Mellon to debit such Fund’s custody account for all such fees.
In turn, BNY Mellon will be responsible for paying the Vendor’s fees. For the avoidance of doubt, BNY Mellon anticipates
that the fees it charges hereunder will be more than the fees charged to it by the Vendor, and BNY Mellon will retain the difference
between the amount paid to BNY Mellon hereunder and the fees BNY Mellon pays to the Vendor as compensation for the additional services
provided by BNY Mellon in the course of making the Vendor Eligible Services available to the Fund.

16. 
Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.

This Agreement
shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof.
Each party hereto hereby consents to the jurisdiction of a state or federal court situated in New York City, New York in connection
with any dispute arising hereunder, and waives to the fullest extent permitted by law its right to a trial by jury. To the extent
that in any jurisdiction any Fund may now or hereafter be entitled to claim, for itself or its assets, immunity from suit, execution,
attachment (before or after judgment) or other legal process, such Fund irrevocably agrees not to claim, and it hereby waives,
such immunity.

17. 
Severability.

In case
any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and
if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and
circumstances.

18. 
No Waiver.

Each and
every right granted to BNY Mellon hereunder or under any other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or allowed
it by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time. No failure on the part of BNY Mellon to exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any right will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by BNY Mellon of
any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Each and every right granted to USCF,
each Limited Partnership, each Trust and each of the Funds hereunder shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time.
No failure on the part of USCF, a Limited Partnership, a Trust or a Fund to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right will
operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by USCF, a Limited Partnership, a Trust or a Fund of any right
preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

USCF and each
of the Funds agree that any fee schedule contemplated by this Agreement will be treated as confidential and will only be shared

shall instruct its employees and regulators, examiners, internal and external accountants, auditors, and counsel who may be afforded
access to the fee schedule of USCF’s or the Fund’s obligations of confidentiality hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the parties understand that a summary description of the fees and aggregate amounts paid to BNY Mellon will need to be disclosed
in the Offering Materials for each Fund. USCF and the Funds also agree that any description of the services provided to the Funds
by BNY Mellon, which is to be included in the Funds’ Offering Materials, will be presented to BNY Mellon for review and approval,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The provisions
of this Section 22 shall survive termination of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years after such termination.

(b)
The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation is a global financial organization that provides services to clients through its affiliates
and subsidiaries in multiple jurisdictions (the “BNY Mellon Group”). The BNY Mellon Group may centralize functions
including audit, accounting, risk, legal, compliance, sales, administration, product communication, relationship management, storage,
compilation and analysis of customer-related data, and other functions (the “Centralized Functions”) in one or more
affiliates, subsidiaries and third-party service providers. Solely in connection with the Centralized Functions, (i) the Fund consents
to the disclosure of and authorizes BNY Mellon to disclose information regarding the Fund (“Customer-Related Data”)
to the BNY Mellon Group and to its third-party service providers who are subject to confidentiality obligations with respect to
such information and (ii) BNY Mellon may store the names and business contact information of the Fund’s employees and representatives
on the systems or in the records of the BNY Mellon Group or its service providers. The BNY Mellon Group may aggregate Customer-Related
Data with other data collected and/or calculated by the BNY Mellon Group, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary the BNY Mellon Group will own all such aggregated data, provided that the BNY Mellon Group shall not distribute the aggregated
data in a format that identifies Customer-Related Data with a particular customer. The Fund confirms that it is authorized to consent
to the foregoing.

    	 	- 23 -	 

     

    

22.
Non-Solicitation.

During the term of this Agreement and for
one (1) year thereafter, the Fund shall not (with the exceptions noted in the immediately succeeding sentence) knowingly solicit
or recruit for employment or hire any of BNY Mellon’s employees, and the Fund shall cause the Fund’s sponsor and any
affiliates of the Fund to not (with the exceptions noted in the immediately succeeding sentence) knowingly solicit or recruit for
employment or hire any of BNY Mellon’s employees. To “knowingly” solicit, recruit or hire within the meaning
of this provision does not include, and therefore does not prohibit, solicitation, recruitment or hiring of a BNY Mellon employee
by the Fund, the Fund’s sponsor or an affiliate of the Fund if the BNY Mellon employee was identified by such entity solely
as a result of the BNY Mellon employee’s response to a general advertisement by such entity in a publication of trade or
industry interest or other similar general solicitation by such entity.

2.7.
                                         Taxes.

 

(A)
No Deductions. Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction
for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or with the Borrower, and all liabilities with respect thereto (all
such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or with the Borrower and all liabilities with respect thereto referred to herein
as “Tax Liabilities”; excluding, however, (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by the net income (however denominated),
franchise and branch profits Taxes of any Purchaser or Agent by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Agent or such Purchaser
is organized or doing business or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) Taxes imposed on or measured by the net income (however
denominated), franchise and branch profits Taxes of any Purchaser or Agent by the jurisdiction of such Purchaser’s or Agent’s
applicable lending office (or relevant office for receiving payments from or on account of the Borrower or making funds available
to or for the benefit of the Borrower) or any political subdivision, (iii) U.S. federal withholding Taxes that are (or would be)
required to be withheld on amounts payable to or for the account of any Purchaser or Agent pursuant to a law in effect on the
date on which (A) such Purchaser acquires an interest in the Notes or such Agent becomes Agent or (B) such Purchaser changes its
office for receiving payments by or on account of the Borrower or making funds available to or for the benefit of the Borrower,
except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to Section 2.7, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either
to such Agent or Purchaser’s predecessor immediately before such Purchaser or Agent became a party hereto or to such Agent
or Purchaser immediately before it changed its office for receiving payments by or on account of the Borrower or making funds
available to or for the benefit of the Borrower, (iv) Taxes attributable to such recipient’s failure to comply with Section
2.7, (v) U.S. backup withholding Taxes, (vi) Taxes imposed under FATCA on any Purchaser or Agent, (vii) Taxes imposed by a
jurisdiction as a result of any connection between the recipient and such jurisdiction other than any connection arising solely
from (and that would not have existed but for) executing, delivering, being a party to, engaging in any transactions pursuant
to, performing its obligations under or enforcing any Note Document, (viii) Taxes resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Purchaser or Agent as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment and
(ix) penalties, interest and additions to Tax relating to any of the foregoing (all Taxes included in clauses (i) through (ix),
the “Excluded Taxes”, and together with the Tax Liabilities, the “Taxes”)) unless the applicable
withholding agent is compelled by law to make payment subject to such Tax Liabilities. If any applicable withholding agent shall
be required by law to deduct any such Tax Liabilities from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Agent or any Purchaser,
then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, Agent or
such Purchaser receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

 

(B)
Status of Purchasers. Any Purchaser that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect
to payments made under any Note Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower
or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments
to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Purchaser, if reasonably requested by Borrower
or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as
will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting
requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission
of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth below in this paragraph (B)) shall not be required if in the Purchaser’s
reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser (it being understood that providing any
information currently required by any U.S. federal income tax withholding form shall not be considered prejudicial to the position
of a Purchaser).

 

    	 	22	 

    	 

    

 

Without
limiting the generality of the preceding paragraph, each Purchaser organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United
States (a “Foreign Purchaser”) as to which payments to be made under this Agreement are exempt from United
States withholding tax or are subject to United States withholding tax at a reduced rate under an applicable statute or tax treaty
shall provide to Borrower and Agent (1) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or Form W-8ECI or other applicable
form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or reasonably requested by Agent or Borrower, certifying as to such Foreign
Purchaser’s entitlement to such exemption or reduced rate of withholding with respect to payments to be made to such Foreign
Purchaser under this Agreement, and, in the case of a Foreign Purchaser claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest
under Section 881(c) of the IRC, a certificate, in a form reasonably acceptable to Borrower and Agent, showing such Foreign Purchaser
is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of the
Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “Certificate of Exemption”). Prior to becoming a Purchaser under this Agreement
and within fifteen (15) days after a reasonable written request of Borrower or Agent from time to time thereafter, each Foreign
Purchaser that becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement shall provide a Certificate of Exemption to Borrower and Agent.

 

If
a Foreign Purchaser is entitled to an exemption with respect to payments to be made to such Foreign Purchaser under this Agreement
(or to a reduced rate of withholding) and does not provide the information in the preceding paragraph establishing its entitlement
to such exemption to Borrower and Agent within the time periods set forth in the preceding paragraph, Note Parties shall withhold
taxes from payments to such Foreign Purchaser at the applicable statutory rates and no Note Party shall be required to pay any
additional amounts as a result of such withholding; provided, however, that all such withholding shall cease at such time that
such Foreign Purchaser establishes its entitlement to such exemption to Borrower and Agent.

 

Each
Purchaser that is a “U.S. Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC shall execute and deliver to
the relevant Borrower and Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement, and
from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or Agent, two properly completed and duly signed original copies of
Form W-9 or any successor form that such Purchaser is entitled to provide at such time, establishing an exemption from United
States backup withholding requirements; provided, however, that if a Purchaser is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income
tax purposes, it shall provide the appropriate withholding form of its owner (together with appropriate supporting documentation).
The Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts in respect of Taxes to any Purchaser pursuant to this Section
2.7 to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of such Purchaser
to comply with this Section 2.7.

 

Each
Purchaser shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation expired, obsolete or inaccurate
in any material respect, deliver promptly to Borrower and Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new
documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) or promptly notify Borrower and Agent of its inability
to do so. Unless the applicable withholding agent has received forms or other documents satisfactory to it indicating that payments
under any Note Document to or for a Purchaser are not subject to withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced
by an applicable tax treaty, Agent or other applicable withholding agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by Applicable
Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.

 

Notwithstanding
this Section 2.7, a Purchaser shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.7 that such Purchaser
is not legally able to deliver.

 

    	 	23	 

    	 

    

 

(C)
Withholding Taxes under FATCA. If a payment made to a Purchaser under the Note Documents would be subject to withholding
tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser fails to comply with the applicable requirements of FATCA (including the reporting requirements
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC), such Purchaser shall deliver to Borrower and Agent (i) a certification signed
by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller, and (ii) other documentation reasonably
requested by Borrower and Agent sufficient for Agent and Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine
that such Purchaser has complied with such applicable reporting requirements; provided that if such Purchaser fails to provide
any documentation described in clause (i) or (ii) hereof, Borrower or Agent shall be entitled to withhold all amounts required
to comply with FATCA, by setoff or otherwise. Each of Agent and Borrower shall provide notice to the other party in the event
Agent or Borrower, as applicable, reasonably determines that a Purchaser (and/or any participant of such Purchaser) is not complying
with the requirements of FATCA (including the reporting requirements contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable);
provided that failure to provide such notice shall not result in liability to either party. If, at any time, Agent or Borrower
reasonably believe that a Purchaser and/or its participant is not complying with the requirements of FATCA (including the reporting
requirements contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), Agent or Borrower may withhold all amounts required
to comply with FATCA, by setoff or otherwise.

 

(D)
Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any
taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7 (including by the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 2.7), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses (including taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such
indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (D) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by
the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental
Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other
information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other person.

 

(E)
Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.7 shall survive the replacement of a Purchaser and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all Obligations.

SECTION
4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CERTAIN COVENANTS

 

To
induce Agent and each Purchaser to enter into the Note Documents and to purchase the Notes and make advances under the Delayed
Draw Term Notes, each Note Party represents, warrants and covenants to Agent and each Purchaser that:

 

4.1.
Organization, Powers, Capitalization.

 

(A)
Organization and Powers. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is an entity duly organized, incorporated or established
(as the case may be), validly existing and, to the extent applicable, in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization,
incorporation or establishment (as the case may be), (ii) is qualified to do business in all states, provinces and other jurisdictions
where such qualification is required except where failure to be so qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect, and (iii) has all requisite power and authority to (x) own and operate its properties, to carry on its business
as now conducted and proposed to be conducted and (y) to enter into each Note Document to which it is a party.

 

(B)
Capitalization. The authorized capital stock or other Equity Interests of the Borrower and the other Note Parties as of
the date hereof is as set forth on Schedule 4.1(B). As of the Second A&R Effective Date, the jurisdiction of organization,
incorporation or establishment (as the case may be), owner of outstanding equity interests and percentage of outstanding equity
interests held by owner with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is as set forth on Schedule 4.1(B) and Schedule
4.1(B) includes all preemptive or other outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights or similar agreements or
understandings for the purchase or acquisition from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any shares of capital stock or
other Equity Interests of any such entity as of the Second A&R Effective Date. All issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock or other Equity Interests of Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable
(if applicable), free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, and such Equity Interests were issued in compliance
with all applicable state, provincial, federal and foreign laws concerning the issuance of securities.

 

4.2.
Authorization of Borrowing, No Conflict.

 

(A)
Each Note Party has the power and authority to incur the Obligations and to grant security interests in the Collateral.

 

(B)
On the Second A&R Effective Date, the execution, delivery and performance of the Note Documents by each Note Party signatory
thereto will have been duly authorized by all necessary company and shareholder action.

 

    	 	27	 

    	 

    

 

(C)
The execution, delivery and performance by each Note Party of each Note Document to which it is a party and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents by each Note Party (i) do not contravene any material Applicable Law or the
corporate charter or bylaws or other organizational documents of any Note Party, (ii) will not result in or require the creation
or imposition of any Lien of any nature whatsoever upon any properties or assets of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other
than liens created by the Note Documents in favor of the Agent, and (iii) do not require any approval of the interest holders
of any Note Party or any approval or consent of any Person under any material contractual obligation of any Note Party, other
than consents or approvals that have been obtained and that are still in force and effect or that will be obtained after the date
hereof to the extent set forth in Schedule 5.8, or the failure of which to obtain would not reasonably be expected to have,
either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(D)
The Note Documents are the legally valid and binding obligations of the Note Parties party thereto, each enforceable against the
Note Parties party thereto in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating
to enforceability.

 

4.3.
Solvency. After giving effect to the Transactions, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
on a consolidated basis, exceeds, on a consolidated basis, their debts and liabilities (whether subordinated, contingent or otherwise),
(b) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater
than the amount that will be required to pay their debts and other liabilities (whether subordinated, contingent or otherwise),
on a consolidated basis, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, (c) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,
on a consolidated basis, are able to pay their debts and liabilities (whether subordinated, contingent or otherwise), as such
liabilities become absolute and matured, and (d) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are not engaged in,
and are not about to engage in, business for which they have unreasonably small capital.

 

4.4.
Insurance. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries maintains and shall continue to maintain adequate insurance policies
and shall provide Agent with evidence of such insurance coverage for liability, property damage, and business interruption with
respect to its business and properties against loss or damage of the kinds customarily carried or maintained by corporations of
established reputation engaged in similar businesses and on such terms and in such amounts reasonably acceptable to Agent. Each
Note Party shall cause Agent at all times to be named as lender loss payee and additional insured, as applicable, on all insurance
policies and shall insure that Agent receives notice of cancellation with respect to all such insurance policies, in each case
pursuant to appropriate endorsements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and shall collaterally assign to Agent,
for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties, as security for the payment of the Obligations all business interruption
insurance of each Note Party. No written notice of cancellation has been received with respect to such policies and each Note
Party is in compliance with all conditions contained in such policies, in each case, except any such insurance policies that any
Note Party is in the process of extending, replacing or renewing in the ordinary course of business, so long as there is no lapse
in coverage during such period of extension, replacement or renewal. Any proceeds received from any policies of insurance relating
to any Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations to the extent required by Section 2.4(A)(1). Each Note Party shall
provide Agent evidence of the insurance coverage and of the assignments and endorsements required by this Agreement promptly upon
request by Agent. If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries elects to change insurance carriers, policies or coverage amounts,
the Borrower shall notify Agent and provide Agent with evidence of the updated insurance coverage and, in the case of a Note Party,
of the assignments and endorsements required by this Agreement. In the event any Note Party fails to provide Agent with evidence
of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Agent may, but is not required to, purchase insurance at the Note Parties’
expense to protect Agent’s and the Purchaser’s interests in the Collateral, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’
notice to Borrower. Agent will notify the Note Parties of such purchase within two (2) Business Days of such purchase. This insurance
may, but need not, protect the Note Parties’ interests. The coverage purchased by Agent may not pay any claim made by any
Note Party or any claim that is made against such Note Party in connection with the Collateral. Note Parties may later cancel
any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with evidence that each Note Party has obtained insurance as
required by this Agreement. If Agent purchases insurance for the Collateral, Note Parties will be responsible for the costs of
that insurance, including interest thereon and other charges imposed on Agent in connection with the placement of the insurance,
until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance, and such costs may be added to the Obligations. The
costs of the insurance purchased by Agent may be more than the cost of insurance Note Parties are able to obtain on its own.

 

    	 	28	 

    	 

    

 

4.5.
Compliance with Laws; Government Authorizations; Consents. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation
of any law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, policy, guideline or other requirement of (a) any Governmental Authority in all
jurisdictions in which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is now doing business, and (b) any Governmental Authority otherwise
having jurisdiction over the conduct of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, or the
ownership of any of their respective properties, in any case, which violation would subject the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries,
or any of their respective officers to criminal liability could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries and no such violation has been alleged in writing. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries will
comply with the requirements of all Applicable Laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, policies, guidelines or other requirements
of (a) any Governmental Authority as now in effect and which may be imposed in the future in all jurisdictions in which the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries is now doing business or may hereafter be doing business, and (b) any government authority otherwise
having jurisdiction over the conduct of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, or the
ownership of any of its respective properties, except to the extent the noncompliance with which could reasonably be expected
to result in a material liability to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

 

4.6.
Governmental Regulation. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Federal Power
Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or to any federal or state statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur indebtedness
for borrowed money.

 

4.7.
Access to Accountants and Management. The Borrower, on behalf of itself and each of its Subsidiaries, authorizes Agent
and Purchasers to discuss the financial condition and financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries with Note Parties’
accountants upon reasonable notice to Note Parties of its intention to do so, and authorizes Note Parties’ accountants to
respond to all of Agent’s and any Purchaser’s inquiries; provided however, Agent and/or the Purchasers shall submit
such inquiries to Borrower prior to contacting any such representatives, and Borrower shall be present at all times during any
such discussions. Agent and each Purchaser may, confer at reasonable times during normal business hours with the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries’ senior management and key employees directly regarding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries’ business,
operations and financial condition.

 

    	 	29	 

    	 

    

 

4.8.
Inspection. Each Note Party shall, and the Borrower shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit Agent and any authorized
representatives designated by Agent to visit and inspect any of the properties of any Note Party or any Subsidiary, including
their financial and accounting records, and, in conjunction with such inspection, to make copies and take extracts therefrom,
and to discuss their affairs, finances and business with their officers and the Note Parties’ accountants, at such reasonable
times during normal business hours. If any of the properties, books or records of any Note Party or any Subsidiary are in the
possession of a third party, each of the Borrower and such Subsidiary authorizes that third party to permit any Person designated
by Agent in writing or any agents thereof to have access to perform inspections or audits and to respond to Agent’s request
for information concerning such property, books and records to the same extent as if such information was held by such Note Party
or Subsidiary.

 

4.9.
Control Agreements.

 

(A)
Each Note Party shall cause each of its Deposit Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts), lockbox accounts and securities accounts
to be subject to a “springing” account control agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent (a
“Control Agreement”). No Note Party will open any new Deposit Accounts, lockbox account or securities account
(other than “Excluded Accounts”) unless a Control Agreement is entered into concurrently with the opening thereof.

 

(B)
All account debtors or other payment obligors of such Note Party shall be directed to directly remit all payments on each Note
Party’s Accounts directly to a Deposit Account subject to a Control Agreement and each Note Party will immediately deposit
in a Deposit Account subject to a Control Agreement all payments received from account debtors or other payments constituting
proceeds of Collateral received by such Note Party in the identical form in which such payment was made, whether by cash or check.

 

(C)
Agent agrees that it shall only be permitted to give instructions or directions under any Control Agreement after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default. In addition, if the Event of Default giving rise to such instructions is cured
or waived, as applicable, and no other Event of Default exists at such time, Agent shall give notice to the applicable bank canceling
instructions provided in accordance with this Section 4.9.

 

(D)
Each Note Party hereby agrees that all payments made to any Deposit Account, securities account or otherwise received by Agent
and whether on the Accounts or as proceeds of other Collateral or otherwise, in each case, to the extent constituting Collateral,
will be subject to the Lien of Agent, for the benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties. If any Note Party, or any of their
respective Affiliates, employees, agents or any other Persons acting for or in concert with such Note Party, shall receive any
monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other payments relating to and/or proceeds of any Note Party’s Accounts or other Collateral,
such Note Party or such Person shall hold such instrument or funds in trust for Agent, and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall
remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to a Deposit Account subject to a Control Agreement and, if requested
by Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to Agent at its address set forth in Section
11.3 below.

invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, assignments, verifications and notices in
connection with Accounts, Chattel Paper or General Intangibles and other Documents relating to the Collateral; and (f) generally
to take any act required of any Note Party under Section 4 or Section 5 of this Agreement or any Security Document,
and to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely
as though Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Agent’s option and Note Parties’ expense,
at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral.
Each Note Party hereby ratifies and approves all acts of Agent made or taken pursuant to this Section 8.4. The appointment
of Agent as each Note Party’s attorney and Agent’s rights and powers are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable
until payment in full, in cash, of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claims
giving rise thereto have been asserted by the Person entitled thereto).

 

8.5.
Limitation on Duty of Agent and Purchasers with Respect to Collateral. Beyond the safe custody thereof, Agent and each
other Secured Party shall have no duty with respect to any Collateral in its possession (or in the possession of any agent or
bailee) or with respect to any income thereon or the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining
thereto. Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession
if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Agent accords its own property. Neither Agent nor any
other Secured Party shall be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the
value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouse, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee, broker or other agent
or bailee selected by Note Parties or selected by Agent in good faith.

8.6.
Application of Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) each Note Party irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any
and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Agent from or on behalf of any Note Party, and Agent shall have the
continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received at any time or times after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default against the Obligations in such manner as Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding
any previous application by Agent, but in all events subject to Section 8.6(b), and (b) after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, and upon the direction of the Requisite Purchasers shall, apply all proceeds
of the Collateral, and in any event Agent shall apply any proceeds of Collateral with respect to any sale of, collection from
or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise in accordance with the terms of the Note
Documents by Agent of its rights or remedies during an Event of Default or received in connection with an insolvency proceeding
with respect to any Note Party, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as follows: (i) first, ratably to pay the
Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due and payable to Agent until
paid in full; (ii) second, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements and indemnities
then due and payable to the Purchasers until paid in full; (iii) third, ratably to pay interest then due and payable in
respect of the Delayed Draw Term Notes maturing on the Delayed Draw Term Notes First Maturity Date until paid in full; (iv) fourth,
ratably to pay principal then due and payable in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Notes maturing on the Delayed Draw Term Notes
First Maturity Date until paid in full; (v) fifth, ratably to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Delayed
Draw Term Notes maturing on the Delayed Draw Term Notes Second Maturity Date until paid in full; (vi) sixth, ratably to
pay principal then due and payable in respect of the Delayed Draw Term Notes maturing on the Delayed Draw Term Notes Second Maturity
Date until paid in full; (vii) seventh, ratably to pay principal then due and payable in respect of the Delayed Draw Term
Notes until paid in full; (viii) eighth, ratably to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Existing Notes
until paid in full; (ix) ninth, ratably to pay principal of the Existing Notes (or, to the extent such Obligations are
contingent, to provide cash collateral in respect of such Obligations in accordance with this Agreement) until paid in full; (x)
tenth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable; and (xi) last, any balance remaining
shall be delivered to the Borrower or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct. All amounts allocated pursuant to the foregoing clauses (ii) through (ix) to the Purchasers shall be
allocated among and distributed to the Purchasers pro rata based on each Purchaser’s share of the Obligations outstanding
under the Delayed Draw Term Notes or Existing Notes, as applicable.

 

8.7.
Waivers; Non-Exclusive Remedies. No failure on the part of Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in
exercising and no course of dealing with respect to, any right under this Agreement or the other Note Documents shall operate
as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Agent or any other Secured Party of any right under this Agreement
or any other Note Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights in this
Agreement and the other Note Documents are cumulative and shall in no way limit any other remedies provided by law.

SECTION
9. AGENT

 

9.1.
Agent.

 

(A)
Appointment. Each Purchaser hereto and, upon obtaining an interest in any Note, any participant, transferee or other assignee
of any Purchaser irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes BRF Finance Co., LLC as Agent to take such actions or refrain
from taking such action as its agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder and under the other Note Documents as
are delegated by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Neither Agent nor
any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for any action so taken. The provisions of this Section
9.1 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Purchasers and neither the Borrower nor any other Note Party shall have any rights
as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof (other than as set forth in Sections 9.1(G), (H) and
(K)). In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Note Documents, Agent shall act solely
as agent of Purchasers and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency
or trust with or for the Borrower or any other Note Party. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Note Documents,
by or through its agents or employees.

 

(B)
Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties, obligations or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this
Agreement or in the other Note Documents. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary, trust or agency relationship
with or in respect of any Purchaser, the Borrower or any other Note Party. Each Purchaser shall make its own appraisal of the
credit worthiness of each Note Party, and shall have independently taken whatever steps it considers necessary to evaluate the
financial condition and affairs of Note Parties, and Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing
basis, to provide any Purchaser with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than as expressly required herein),
whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date or at any time or times thereafter.

 

(C)
Rights, Exculpation, Etc. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any
Purchaser for any action taken or omitted by them hereunder or under any of the Note Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith,
except that Agent shall be liable to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made
by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole
recourse of any Purchaser to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Purchasers any payment in excess
of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Purchasers hereby agree to return to such Purchaser
any such erroneous payments received by them). Neither Agent nor any of its agents or representatives shall be responsible to
any Purchaser for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness,
validity, enforceability, collectability, or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any Note Party. Agent shall not be responsible for or be required to make
any inquiry concerning (i) the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any
of the other Note Documents, (ii) the financial condition of any Note Party, (iii) the contents of any certificate, report or
other document delivered hereunder or any other Note Document or in connection herewith or therewith, (iv) the existence or possible
existence of any Default or Event of Default or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 3 or elsewhere herein,
other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent. Agent may at any time request instructions
from Purchasers with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Note Documents
Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely
entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any
Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Note Documents until it shall have received
such instructions from Requisite Purchasers or all or such other portion of the Purchasers as shall be prescribed by this Agreement.
Without limiting the foregoing, no Purchaser shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting
or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite
Purchasers in the absence of an express requirement for a greater percentage of Purchaser approval hereunder for such action.

 

    	 	53	 

    	 

    

 

(D)
Reliance. Agent shall be under no duty to examine, inquire into, or pass upon the validity, effectiveness or genuineness
of this Agreement, any other Note Document, or any instrument, document or communication furnished pursuant hereto or in connection
herewith. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any written or oral notices, statements,
certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing or fax) believed
by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. With respect to all
matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, Agent shall be
entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by Agent in its sole discretion.

 

(E)
Indemnification. Purchasers will reimburse and indemnify Agent for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses), advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against
Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents or any action taken or omitted
by Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents, in proportion to each Purchaser’s pro rata share of the
Obligations, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not promptly reimbursed by Note Parties; provided, however,
no Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined
by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall,
in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence,
to do the acts indemnified against, even if so directed by Purchasers or Requisite Purchasers, until such additional indemnity
is furnished. The obligations of Purchasers under this Section 9.1(E) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations
and the termination of this Agreement.

 

    	 	54	 

    	 

    

 

(F)
B. Riley Individually. With respect to the Notes purchased by it as a Purchaser, B. Riley shall have and may exercise the
same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein
for any other Purchaser. The terms “Purchasers” or “Requisite Purchasers” or any similar terms shall,
unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include B. Riley in its individual capacity as a Purchaser or one of the Requisite
Purchasers. B. Riley, either directly or through strategic affiliations, may lend money to, acquire equity or other ownership
interests in, provide advisory services to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Note
Party as if it were not acting as Agent pursuant hereto and without any duty to account therefor to Purchasers. B. Riley, either
directly or through strategic affiliations, may accept fees and other consideration from any Note Party for services in connection
with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Purchasers.

 

(G)
Successor Agent.

 

(1)
Resignation. Agent may resign from the performance of all its agency functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving
at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower and the Purchasers. Such resignation shall take effect
upon the acceptance by a successor Agent of appointment as provided below.

 

(2)
Appointment of Successor. Upon any such notice of resignation pursuant to Section 9.1(G)(1) above, Requisite Purchasers
shall appoint a successor Agent. If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty (30) Business Day period,
the retiring Agent, upon notice to Borrower, may then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any,
as Requisite Purchasers appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

 

(3)
Successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent under the Note Documents by a successor Agent, such successor
Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and
the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Note Documents. After any retiring Agent’s
resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9, Section 11.1 and Section 11.2 shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent.

 

(H)
Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

 

(1)
Release of Collateral. Purchasers hereby irrevocably authorize and direct Agent to release (or, in the case of sub-clause
(c) below, release or subordinate) any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral (a) upon payment and satisfaction
of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claims giving rise thereto have been asserted
by the Person entitled thereto) or (b) constituting property being sold or disposed of, if the applicable Note Party certifies
to Agent that the sale, disposition or lien is made or granted in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (and Agent
may rely in good faith conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); or (c) of any Subsidiary Guarantor being
released pursuant to Section 9.1(H)(2).

 

(2)
Release of Guaranty. Purchasers hereby irrevocably authorize and direct Agent to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from
its obligations under its Guaranty and under the other Note Documents to which it is a party if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary
as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

 

    	 	55	 

    	 

    

 

(3)
Confirmation of Authority; Execution of Releases. Without in any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without
any specific or further authorization or consent by Purchasers (as set forth in Sections 9.1(H)(1) and 9.1(H)(2)
above), each Purchaser agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Agent or Borrower, the authority to release any (i) Collateral
conferred upon Agent under Section 9.1(H)(1) and (ii) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 9.1(H)(2).
To the extent any Note Party requests that Agent release (or subordinate) any Lien granted to or held by Agent as authorized under
Section 9.1(H)(1) or release any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 9.1(H)(2), (a) Agent shall, and is hereby irrevocably
authorized by Purchasers to, execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence (I) the release of the Liens granted to Agent,
for the benefit of Agent and Purchasers, upon such Collateral and (II) the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor; provided,
however, that Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would
expose Agent to liability or create upon Agent any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens or
the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor without recourse or warranty, and (b) Note Parties shall provide at least ten (10) Business
Days (or such shorter period as agreed to by Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior written notice of any request for any document
evidencing such release (or subordination) of the Liens or such release of the Subsidiary Guarantor and Note Parties agree that
any such release (or subordination) shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens or any Liens
granted to Agent on behalf of Agent and Purchasers upon (or obligations of any Note Party, in respect of) all interests retained
by any Note Party, including, without limitation, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of
the property covered by this Agreement or the Note Documents.

 

(4)
Absence of Duty. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Purchaser or any other Person to assure that the property
covered by this Agreement or the Note Documents exists or is owned by any Note Party or is cared for, protected or insured or
has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Agent on behalf of Agent and Purchasers herein or pursuant hereto have been properly
or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise
at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights,
authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Agreement or in any of the other Note Documents.

 

(I)
Agency for Perfection. Agent and each Purchaser hereby appoint each other Purchaser as agent for the purpose of perfecting
Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction,
can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Purchaser (other than Agent) obtain possession of any such assets, such
Purchaser shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Agent or
in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Agent may file such proofs of claim or documents as may be necessary or advisable
in order to have the claims of Agent and the Purchasers (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of Agent and the Purchasers, their respective agents, financial advisors and counsel), allowed in any judicial proceedings
relative to any Note Party and/or its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective creditors or property, and shall be entitled and
empowered to collect, receive and distribute any monies, securities or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims.
Any custodian in any judicial proceedings relative to any Note Party and/or its Subsidiaries is hereby authorized by each Purchaser
to make payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Purchasers,
to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent, its agents, financial
advisors and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Note Documents shall be
deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Purchaser any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes, or the rights of any holder thereof, or to authorize Agent to vote
in respect of the claim of any Purchaser in any such proceeding, except as specifically permitted herein.

 

    	 	56	 

    	 

    

 

(J)
Exercise of Remedies. Each Purchaser agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce
this Agreement or any other Note Document or to realize upon any collateral security for the Obligations, unless instructed to
do so by Agent, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, neither Agent nor Purchasers may exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable
Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, uniform commercial code sales or other similar sales or dispositions of any of the Collateral
except as authorized by the Requisite Purchasers.

 

9.2.
Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default
except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of
Purchasers, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Purchaser or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing
such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify each Purchaser
of its receipt of any such notice.

 

9.3.
Action by Agent. Agent shall take such action with respect to any Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Requisite
Purchasers in accordance with Section 8. Unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not
be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any Default or Event of Default as it shall
deem advisable or in the best interests of Purchasers.

 

9.4.
Amendments, Waivers and Consents.

 

(A)
Percentage of Purchasers Required. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any of the other Note Documents, no amendment,
modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document, or consent to any departure
by any Note Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Requisite Purchasers
(or, Agent, if expressly set forth herein or in any of the other Note Documents) and the applicable Note Party; provided however,
no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall:

 

(1)
subject any Purchaser to any additional obligation or reduce the principal of or the rate of interest on any Note (other than
as a result of any waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase) or reduce the fees payable with respect to any Note
or postpone or extend any scheduled date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest, fees, or premium on, the Notes payable
to any Purchaser, in each case, without the consent of each Purchaser directly and adversely affected thereby;

 

    	 	57	 

    	 

    

 

(2)
amend the definition of Requisite Purchasers without the consent of each Purchaser directly and adversely affected thereby;

 

(3)
amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 9.4 without the consent of each Purchaser directly and adversely affected
thereby;

 

(4)
release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranties (except as expressly
provided in the Note Documents), without the consent of each Purchaser;

 

(5)
consent to the assignment, delegation or other transfer by any Note Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Note
Document, without the consent of each Purchaser;

 

(6)
without the consent of Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document as same applies
to Agent or as same relates to the rights or obligations of such Agent;

 

(7)
amend, modify or waive any provision hereof in any manner that would alter the order of treatment or the pro rata sharing of payments
required thereby without the consent of each Purchaser directly and adversely affected thereby; or

 

(8)
subordinate (x) all or substantially all of the Liens granted pursuant to the Note Documents or (y) the Obligations, in each case
other than as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder.

 

Any
amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 9 shall be binding upon
each Purchaser or future Purchaser and, if signed by a Note Party, on such Note Party.

 

(B)
Specific Purpose or Intent. Each amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent
shall be required for Agent to take additional Collateral.

 

Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 9.4, Agent and the Borrower, without the consent of either Requisite Purchasers or all Purchasers,
may execute amendments to this Agreement and the other Note Documents, to (1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency
therein, or (2) grant a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties, extend an existing Lien over additional property for
the benefit of the Secured Parties or join additional Persons as Note Parties.

 

9.5.
Set-Off and Sharing of Payments.

 

(A)
In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Purchaser is hereby authorized by each Note Party at any
time or from time to time, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Note Party) to set-off and to appropriate
and to apply any and all (a) balances held by such Purchaser at any of its offices for the account of Note Parties (regardless
of whether such balances are then due to Note Parties), and (b) other property at any time held or owing by such Purchaser to
or for the credit or for the account of Note Parties, against and on account of any of the Obligations; except that no Purchaser
shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent of Agent.

 

    	 	58	 

    	 

    

 

(B)
If any Purchaser shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal
of or interest on any of its Notes or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Purchaser receiving a payment or payment of
a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Notes and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than what it
was entitled to received or its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Purchaser receiving such payment or greater
proportion shall (a) notify Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Notes and such
other obligations of the other Purchasers, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided that:

 

(1)
if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations
shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 

(2)
the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement, or (y) any payment obtained by a Purchaser as consideration for the assignment of any
of its Notes to any assignee, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph
shall apply).

 

(C)
Each Note Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Purchaser
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Note Party rights of setoff and counterclaim
with respect to such participation as fully as if such Purchaser were a direct creditor of each Note Party in the amount of such
participation.

 

9.6.
Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements. Each Purchaser and each other holder of Obligations irrevocably (a) authorizes
and directs the Agent to execute and deliver the Fast Pay Intercreditor Agreement and each Subordination Agreement on behalf of
such Purchaser or such holder and to take all actions (and execute all documents) required (or deemed advisable) by it in accordance
with the terms of such agreements, in each case without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Purchaser or
holder, (b) agrees that, upon the execution and delivery thereof, such Purchaser and holder will be bound by the provisions of
the Fast Pay Intercreditor Agreement and each Subordination Agreement as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions
contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, and (c) agrees that no such Purchaser or holder shall have any right
of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of any action taken by Agent pursuant to this Section or in accordance with
the terms of the Fast Pay Intercreditor Agreement and each Subordination Agreement.

SECTION
10. GUARANTY.

 

10.1.
Unconditional Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety,
jointly and severally with each other Guarantor when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by notice of prepayment
or otherwise, the due and punctual performance of all Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s
liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by any Note Party to Agent or
the other Secured Parties under any Note Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence
of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving any Note Party. Each payment made by any Guarantor pursuant to
the guaranty contained in this Section 10 (the “Guaranty”) shall be made in lawful money of the United
States in immediately available funds, (a) without set-off or counterclaim and (b) free and clear of and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of any present and future Charges and any conditions or restrictions resulting in Charges unless
Guarantor is compelled by law to make payment subject to such Charges.

 

10.2.
Charges. All Charges in respect of the Guaranty or any amounts payable or paid under the Guaranty shall be paid by Guarantors
when due and in any event prior to the date on which penalties attach thereto. Each Guarantor will indemnify Agent and each of
the other Secured Parties against and in respect of all such Charges. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any
Charges or amounts in respect thereof must be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable or paid by any Guarantor hereunder,
such Guarantor shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that Agent and each of the other Secured Parties
receives a net amount equal to the full amount which it would have received had payment (including any additional amounts payable
under this Section 10.2) not been made subject to such Charges. Within thirty (30) days of each payment by any Guarantor
of Charges or in respect of Charges, such Guarantor shall deliver to Agent satisfactory evidence (including originals, or certified
copies, of all relevant receipts) that such Charges have been duly remitted to the appropriate authority or authorities.

 

10.3.
Waivers of Notice, Demand, etc. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives (a) promptness,
diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of presentment of payment and any other notice hereunder, (b) demand of payment, protest,
notice of dishonor or nonpayment, notice of the present and future amount of the Obligations and any other notice with respect
to the Obligations, (c) any requirement that Agent or any other Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security
interest or Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Note Party, or any
Person or any Collateral, (d) any other action, event or precondition to the enforcement hereof or the performance by each such
Guarantor of the Obligations, and (e) any defense arising by any lack of capacity or authority or any other defense of any Note
Party or any notice, demand or defense by reason of cessation from any cause of Obligations (other than payment and performance
in full in cash of the Obligations by the Note Parties) and any defense that any other guarantee or security was or was to be
obtained by Agent.

 

10.4.
No Invalidity, Irregularity, etc. No invalidity, irregularity, voidableness, voidness or unenforceability of this Agreement
or any other Note Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or of all or any part of the Obligations or
of any collateral security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense hereunder.

10.5.
Independent Liability. The Guaranty is one of payment and performance, not collection, and the obligations of each Guarantor
under this Guaranty are independent of the Obligations of the other Note Parties, and a separate action or actions may be brought
and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce the terms and conditions of this Section 10, irrespective of whether any
action is brought against any other Note Party or other Persons or whether any other Note Party or other Persons are joined in
any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives any right to require that any resort be had by Agent or any other Secured Party
to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Agent
or any other Secured Party in favor of any Note Party or any other Person. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceedings,
or against any Person, or on any Obligations, shall constitute a waiver of Agent’s right to proceed in any other form of
action or proceeding or against any other Person unless Agent has expressed any such waiver in writing. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Agent against any Note Party under any document evidencing or securing indebtedness
of any Note Party to Agent shall diminish the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent Agent receives actual
payment on account of Obligations by such action or proceeding, notwithstanding the effect of any such election, action or proceeding
upon the right of subrogation of any Guarantor in respect of any Note Party.

 

10.6.
Liability Absolute. The liability of each Guarantor under the Guaranty shall be absolute, unlimited and unconditional and
shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason, including, without limitation,
any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any claim, defense or set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any other Obligation
or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired,
released, limited or otherwise affected by:

 

(i)
any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, and/or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance
of, release, renewal or alteration of, or any new agreements relating to any Obligation, any security therefor, or any liability
incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any rescission of, or amendment, waiver or other modification of, or any
consent to departure from, this Agreement or any other Note Document, including any increase in the Obligations resulting from
the extension of additional credit to the Borrower or otherwise;

 

(ii)
any sale, exchange, release, surrender, loss, abandonment, realization upon any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or
mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, all or any of the Obligations, and/or any offset there against, or failure to perfect,
or continue the perfection of, any Lien in any such property, or delay in the perfection of any such Lien, or any amendment or
waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty for all or any of the Obligations;

 

(iii)
the failure of Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower
or any other Note Party or any other Person under the provisions of this Agreement or any Note Document or any other document
or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith;

 

    	 	61	 

    	 

    

 

(iv)
any settlement or compromise of any Obligation, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred
directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and any subordination of the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment
of any obligation (whether due or not) of any Note Party to creditors of any Note Party other than any other Note Party;

 

(v)
any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other
disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of any Note Party; and

 

(vi)
other than payment and performance in full in cash of the Obligations by the Note Parties, any other agreements or circumstance
(including any statute of limitations) of any nature whatsoever that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk
of any Guarantor, or that might otherwise at law or in equity constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guaranty
and/or the obligations of any Guarantor, or a defense to, or discharge of, any Note Party or any other Person or party hereto
or the Obligations or otherwise with respect to the Notes or other financial accommodations to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement
and/or the Note Documents.

 

10.7.
Action by Agent Without Notice. Agent shall have the right to take any action set forth in Section 8.3 or any other
Security Document without notice to or the consent of any Guarantor and each Guarantor expressly waives any right to notice of,
consent to, knowledge of and participation in any agreements relating to any of the above or any other present or future event
relating to Obligations whether under this Agreement or otherwise or any right to challenge or question any of the above and waives
any defenses of such Guarantor which might arise as a result of such actions.

 

10.8.
Application of Proceeds. Agent may at any time and from time to time (whether prior to or after the revocation or termination
of this Agreement) without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without incurring responsibility to any Guarantor
or impairing or releasing the Obligations, apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any Obligations regardless
of what Obligations remain unpaid.

 

10.9.
Continuing Effectiveness.

 

(A)
Reinstatement. The Guaranty provisions herein contained shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may
be, if claim is ever made upon Agent or any other Secured Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by
such Person in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and such Person repays all or part of said amount for any reason
whatsoever, including, without limitation, by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having
jurisdiction over such Person or the respective property of each, or any settlement or compromise of any claim effected by such
Person with any such claimant (including any Note Party); and in such event each Guarantor hereby agrees that any such judgment,
decree, order, settlement or compromise or other circumstances shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation
hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any Obligation, and each Guarantor shall be and remain liable
to Agent and/or the other Secured Parties for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never
originally been received by such Person(s).

 

    	 	62	 

    	 

    

 

(B)
No Marshalling. Agent shall not be required to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor, or against or in payment of
Obligations.

 

(C)
Priority of Claims. No Guarantor shall be entitled to claim against any present or future security held by Agent from any
Person for Obligations in priority to or equally with any claim of Agent, or assert any claim for any liability of any Note Party
to any Guarantor in priority to or equally with claims of Agent for Obligations, and no Guarantor shall be entitled to compete
with Agent with respect to, or to advance any equal or prior claim to any security held by Agent for Obligations.

 

(D)
Invalidated Payments. If any Note Party makes any payment to Agent, which payment is wholly or partly subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any Person under any federal or provincial statute
or at common law or under equitable principles, then to the extent of such payment, the Obligation intended to be paid shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if the payment had not been made, and the resulting revived Obligation shall
continue to be guaranteed, uninterrupted, by each Guarantor hereunder.

 

(E)
Assignment and Waiver. All present and future monies payable by any Note Party to any Guarantor, whether arising out of
a right of subrogation or otherwise, are assigned to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of the other Secured Parties
as security for such Guarantor’s liability to Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder and, after the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Guarantor waives any right to demand any and all present and future monies
payable by any Note Party to such Guarantor, whether arising out of a right of subrogation or otherwise. This assignment and waiver
shall only terminate upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the
extent no claims giving rise thereto have been asserted by the Person entitled thereto).

 

(F)
Payments to Guarantors. Each Note Party acknowledges the assignment and waiver contained in sub-clause (E) above, and agrees
to make no payments to any Guarantor after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default without the prior
written consent of Agent. Each Note Party agrees to give full effect to the provisions hereof.

 

(G)
Limitation of Liability. Agent, other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor hereby confirm that it is the intention of all
such Persons that the Guaranty and the obligations of each Guarantor thereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance
under any federal, state, provincial or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law to the extent applicable to
the Guaranty and the obligations of each Guarantor thereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, Agent, other Secured Parties
and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under the Guaranty at any time shall be limited
to the maximum amount as will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer
or conveyance.

 

    	 	63	 

    	 

    

 

(H)
Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have
paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor under the
Guaranty contained in this Section 10, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from
and against any other applicable Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment in
respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor under the Guaranty contained in this Section 10. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s
right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 10.9(E). The provisions of this Section
10.9 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Secured Parties, and each
Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Secured Parties, for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

 

10.10.
Enforcement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may, and upon written request
of the Requisite Purchasers shall, without notice to or demand upon any Note Party or any other Person, declare any obligations
of such Guarantor hereunder immediately due and payable, and shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of each Guarantor. Upon
such declaration by Agent, and subject to Section 9.5, Agent and the other Secured Parties are hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)
at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Agent or the other Secured Parties to or for the credit or the account
of any Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of each Guarantor now or hereafter existing hereunder, whether or not
Agent or the other Secured Parties shall have made any demand hereunder against any other Note Party and although such obligations
may be contingent and unmatured. The rights of Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of set-off) which Agent and the other Secured Parties may have. Upon such declaration by Agent,
with respect to any claims (other than those claims referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph) of any Guarantor against
any Note Party (the “Claims”), Agent shall have the full right on the part of Agent in its own name or in the
name of such Guarantor to collect and enforce such Claims by legal action, proof of debt in bankruptcy or other liquidation proceedings,
vote in any proceeding for the arrangement of debts at any time proposed, or otherwise, Agent and each of its officers being hereby
irrevocably constituted attorneys-in-fact for each Guarantor for the purpose of such enforcement and for the purpose of endorsing
in the name of each Guarantor any instrument for the payment of money. Upon such declaration by Agent, each Guarantor will receive
as trustee for Agent and will pay to Agent forthwith upon receipt thereof any amounts which such Guarantor may receive from any
Note Party on account of the Claims. Each Guarantor agrees that no payment on account of the Claims or any security interest therein
shall be created, received, accepted or retained during the continuance of any Event of Default nor shall any financing statement
be filed with respect thereto by any Guarantor.

 

10.11.
Statute of Limitations. Any acknowledgment or new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or otherwise and
whether by any Note Party or others with respect to any of the Obligations shall, if the statute of limitations in favor of any
Guarantor against Agent or the Purchasers shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations and, if
the period of such statute of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.

 

    	 	64	 

    	 

    

 

10.12.
Interest. All amounts due, owing and unpaid from time to time by any Guarantor hereunder shall bear interest at the interest
rate per annum then chargeable with respect to the Notes.

 

10.13.
Acknowledgement. Each Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of this Agreement and the other Note Documents.
Each Guarantor has made an independent investigation of the Note Parties and of the financial condition of the Note Parties. Neither
Agent nor any other Secured Party has made and neither Agent nor any other Secured Party does make any representations or warranties
as to the income, expense, operation, finances or any other matter or thing affecting any Note Party nor has Agent or any other
Secured Party made any representations or warranties as to the amount or nature of the Obligations of any Note Party to which
this Section 10 applies as specifically herein set forth, nor has Agent or any other Secured Party or any officer, agent
or employee of Agent or any other Secured Party or any representative thereof, made any other oral representations, agreements
or commitments of any kind or nature, and each Guarantor hereby expressly acknowledges that no such representations or warranties
have been made and such Guarantor expressly disclaims reliance on any such representations or warranties.

 

10.14.
Continuing Effectiveness. The provisions of this Section 10 shall remain in effect until the payment in full in
cash of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claims giving rise thereto have been
asserted by the Person entitled thereto) and shall be subject to reinstatement as set forth in Section 10.9. Payments received
from Guarantors pursuant to this Section 10 shall be applied in accordance with Section 8.7.

hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as
determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section
11.2 shall not apply with respect to Charges (which, solely for the purpose of this Section 11.2, shall include Excluded

11.4.

in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Note Party, Agent, and Purchasers set forth in Sections
2.7, 9.1(E), 10.9(A), 10.9(D), 11.1, 11.2, 11.6, 11.13, 11.14, and

11.5.
Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of Agent, any Purchaser or any holder of any Note in the exercise
of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be
a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege
preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

 

11.6.
Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Neither Agent nor any Purchaser shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in
favor of any Note Party or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Note
Party makes a payment or payments to Agent and/or any Purchaser or Agent and/or any Purchaser enforces its security interests
or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof
are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state, provincial or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to
the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies
therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or
set-off had not occurred.

 

11.7.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Note Documents embody the entire agreement among the parties hereto and
supersede all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject
matter hereof, and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions
of the parties hereto.

 

11.8.
Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision in or obligation under
this Agreement or the other Note Documents shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations under this Agreement or the other Note Documents. In the event of any such invalidity, illegality, or
unenforceability, the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions
with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction.

 

11.9.
Purchasers’ Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Rights. The obligation of each Purchaser
hereunder is several and not joint and neither Agent nor any Purchaser shall be responsible for the obligation of any other Purchaser
hereunder. Nothing contained in any Note Document and no action taken by Agent or any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto shall
be deemed to constitute Purchasers to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity.

APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT EXPRESSLY SELECTS

Successors and Assigns.

 

(A)
Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Note
Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Agent and
each Purchaser. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the
parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the
Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(B)
Assignments by Purchasers. Any Purchaser may at any time assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Notes at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent
of B. Riley. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The assignment
shall have been recorded in the Register in accordance with paragraph (C) of this subsection.

 

Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof by Agent pursuant to paragraph (C) of this subsection, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of
the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement,
and the assigning Purchaser thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement,
be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all
of the assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Purchaser shall cease to be a party hereto)
but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 11.1 and 11.2 with respect to facts and circumstances
occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Purchaser of rights or obligations under
this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be null and void.

(C)
Register. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers and principal
amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Notes owing to, each Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Note Documents, the entries in the Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and each Note Party, Agent and the Purchasers shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser and the owner of the amounts owing to it under the Note Documents
as reflected in the Register for all purposes of the Note Documents. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower
and any Purchaser, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 11.12 shall
be construed so that the Notes are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f),
871(h)(2), and 881(c)(2) of the IRC.

 

(D)
Security Interests. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Purchaser may at any time following
written notice to Agent pledge the Obligations held by it or create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under
this Agreement or the other Note Documents in favor of any Person; provided, however (a) no such pledge or grant of security interest
to any Person shall release such Purchaser from its obligations hereunder or under any other Note Document and (b) the acquisition
of title to such Purchaser’s Obligations pursuant to any foreclosure or other exercise of remedies by such Person shall
be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents in all respects including, without limitation, any
consent required by this Section 11.12.

 

11.13.
No Fiduciary Relationship; No Duty; Limitation of Liabilities.

 

(A)
No Fiduciary Relationship. No provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Note Documents and no course of dealing
between the parties shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty by Agent or any Purchaser to any Note Party.

 

(B)
No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Agent or any
Purchaser shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Agent or such Purchaser and shall have no duty of disclosure,

Party’s shareholders or any other Person.

incurred by each Note Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Note
Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents. Each Note Party hereby
waives, releases, and agrees not to sue Agent or any Purchaser or any of Agent’s or any Purchaser’s Affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or
in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

11.18.
Confidentiality. Agent and each Purchaser agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep confidential any non-public
information delivered pursuant to the Note Documents and identified as such by Note Parties and not to disclose such information
to Persons other than to: its respective Affiliates, officers, directors and employees; or its potential assignees or financing
sources (subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.18); or Persons
employed by or engaged by Agent, a Purchaser or a Purchaser’s assignees, financing sources including, without limitation,
attorneys, auditors, professional consultants, rating agencies, and portfolio management services (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). The confidentiality provisions contained in this subsection shall not apply to disclosures (a)
required to be made by Agent or any Purchaser to, or requested to be made by, any regulatory or governmental agency or pursuant
to legal process, (b) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to the Agent or such Purchaser,
(c) consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify any Note Party, (d) with the Borrower’s prior written
consent, (e) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes (i) publicly available other than as a result of
a breach of this Section 11.18 or (ii) available to Agent, Purchaser, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers,
or directors, as the case may be, from a source (other than any Note Party) not known by them to be subject to disclosure restrictions,
(f) to any other party hereto, and (g) in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any right or remedy under any Note Document,
in connection with any litigation or other proceeding to which such Agent or Purchaser is a party or bound, or to the extent necessary
to respond to public statements or disclosures by the Note Parties referring to Agent, a Purchaser, or any of their Affiliates,
officers, or directors. The obligations of Agent and Purchasers under this Section 11.18 shall supersede and replace the
obligations of Agent and Purchasers under any confidentiality agreement in respect of this financing executed and delivered by
Agent or any Purchaser prior to the date hereof. In no event shall Agent or any Purchaser be obligated or required to return any
materials furnished by Note Parties; provided, however, each potential assignee shall be required to agree that if it does not
become an assignee it shall return all materials furnished to it by Note Parties in connection herewith.

 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and notwithstanding any other express or implied agreement or understanding to the contrary, each of the parties
hereto and their respective employees, representatives, and other agents are authorized to disclose the tax treatment and tax
structure of these transactions to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind. Each of the parties hereto may disclose
all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) insofar as they relate to the tax treatment and tax structure
of the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents. This authorization does not extend to disclosure of any other information
including (without limitation) (a) the identities of participants or potential participants in the transactions; (b) the existence
or status of any negotiations; (c) any pricing or other financial information; or (d) any other term or detail not related to
the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents.

 

11.19.
Publication. Each Note Party consents to the publication by Agent of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating
to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Agent and Purchasers reserve the right to provide industry trade
organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

11.20.
USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Purchaser and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Purchaser) hereby notifies each Note
Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies
each Note Party and each of its Subsidiaries, which information includes the names and addresses of each Note Party and each of
its Subsidiaries and other information that will allow such Purchaser or Agent, as applicable, to identify each Note Party and
each of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

 

11.21.
Agent for Service of Process. Each Note Party hereby appoints Borrower (the “Process Agent”) as its
agent to receive and forward on its behalf, and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices
and documents which may be served in any action or proceeding in the state courts sitting in the city of New York, New York, United
States of America or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and agrees that (x) service in such
manner shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be deemed effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action
or proceeding and (y) the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to it shall not impair
or affect the validity of such service or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the enforcement of any judgment based thereon.
If for any reason such Process Agent shall cease to be available to act as such, each Note Party agrees to designate a new Process
Agent in the city of New York (and notify the Agent of such designation), on the terms and for the purposes of this provision,
provided, however, that the new Process Agent shall have accepted such designation in writing before the termination
of the appointment of the prior Process Agent. Each Note Party further consents to the service of process or summons by certified
or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, directed to it at its address specified in Section 11.3
hereof. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Agent to serve legal process in any other manner
permitted by applicable law or to obtain jurisdiction over any other Person in such other jurisdictions, and in such manner, as
may be permitted by applicable law.

 

11.22.
Purchase for Investment; ERISA.

 

(A)
Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants (i) that it has received all information necessary or appropriate
to decide whether to acquire the Notes to be issued to it pursuant hereto, (ii) that it will acquire such Notes for its own account
for investment and not for resale or distribution in any manner that would violate applicable securities laws, but without prejudice
to its rights to dispose of such Notes or a portion thereof to a transferee or transferees, in accordance with such laws and Section
11.12 if at some future time it deems it advisable to do so, (iii) that it is an “accredited investor” as such
term is defined in Regulation D of the Commission under the Securities Act and has such knowledge, skill and experience in business
and financial matters, based on actual participation, that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in
the Notes and the suitability thereof as an investment for such Purchaser, and can bear the economic risk of its investment in
the Notes, and (iv) neither it nor anyone authorized by it to do so on its behalf (A) has directly or indirectly offered any beneficial
interest or security (as defined in Section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act) relating to the Notes for sale to, or solicited
any offer to acquire any such interest or security from, or has sold any such interest or security to, any Person in violation
of the registration provisions of the Securities Act, (B) has taken any action that would subject any such interest or security
to the registration requirements of Section 5 thereof, or the registration or qualification provisions of any applicable
blue sky or other securities law, and (C) will directly or indirectly make any such offer, solicitation or sale in violation of
such registration provisions of the Securities Act, or the registration or qualification provisions of any applicable blue sky
or other securities law. The acquisition of such Notes by each Purchaser at each purchase of notes hereunder shall constitute
its confirmation of the foregoing representations and warranties. Each Purchaser understands that such Notes are being sold to
it in a transaction which is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and that, in making the representations
and warranties contained in Section 4.13, the Borrower is relying, to the extent applicable, upon such Purchaser’s
representations and warranties contained herein.

 

    	 	72	 

    	 

    

 

(B)
Each Purchaser represents that at least one of the following statements is an accurate representation as to each source of funds
(a “Source”) used by such Purchaser to pay the purchase price of the Notes purchased by such Purchaser hereunder:

 

(1)
the Source is an “insurance company general account” as defined in Section V(e) of Prohibited Transaction Exemption
(“PTE”) 95-60 (issued July 12, 1995) and, except as such Purchaser has disclosed to the Borrower in writing pursuant
to this subsection (1), the amount of reserves and liabilities for the general account contract(s) held by or on behalf of any
employee benefit plan or group of plans maintained by the same employer or employee organization do not exceed 10% of the total
reserves and liabilities of the general account (exclusive of separate account liabilities) plus surplus as set forth in the NAIC
Annual Statement filed with the state of domicile of the insurer; or

 

(2)
the Source is a separate account of an insurance company maintained by such Purchaser in which an employee benefit plan (or its
related trust) has an interest, which separate account is maintained solely in connection with its fixed contractual obligations
under which the amounts payable, or credited, to such plan and to any participant or beneficiary of such plan (including any annuitant)
are not affected in any manner by the investment performance of the separate account; or

 

(3)
the Source is either (A) an insurance company pooled separate account, within the meaning of PTE 90-1 (issued January 29, 1990),
or (B) a bank collective investment fund, within the meaning of the PTE 91-38 (issued July 12, 1991) and, except as such Purchaser
has disclosed to the Borrower in writing pursuant to this subsection (3), no employee benefit plan or group of plans maintained
by the same employer or employee organization beneficially owns more than 10% of all assets allocated to such pooled separate
account or collective investment fund; or

 

(4)
the Source constitutes assets of an “investment fund” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14 (the “QPAM
Exemption”)) managed by a “qualified professional asset manager” or “QPAM” (within the meaning of
Part VI of the QPAM Exemption), no employee benefit plan’s assets that are managed by the QPAM in such investment fund,
when combined with the assets of all other employee benefit plans established or maintained by the same employer or by an affiliate
(within the meaning of Part VI(c)(1) of the QPAM Exemption) of such employer or by the same employee organization and managed
by such QPAM, represent more than 20% of the total client assets managed by such QPAM, the conditions of Part I(c) and (g) of
the QPAM Exemption are satisfied, neither the QPAM nor a person controlling or controlled by the QPAM maintains an ownership interest
in the Borrower that would cause the QPAM and such Borrower to be “related” within the meaning of Part VI(h) of the
QPAM Exemption and (i) the identity of such QPAM and (ii) the names of any employee benefit plans whose assets in the investment
fund, when combined with the assets of all other employee benefit plans established or maintained by the same employer or by an
affiliate (within the meaning of Part VI(c)(1) of the QPAM Exemption) of such employer or by the same employee organization, represent
10% or more of the assets of such investment fund, have been disclosed to the Borrower in writing pursuant to this clause (4);
or

 

    	 	73	 

    	 

    

 

(5)
the Source constitutes assets of a “plans(s) (within the meaning of Part IV(h) of PTE 96-23 (the “INHAM Exemption”)
managed by an “in-house asset manager” or “INHAM” (within the meaning of Part IV(a) of the INHAM Exemption),
the conditions of Part I(a), (g) and (h) of the INHAM Exemption are satisfied, neither the INHAM nor a person controlling or controlled
by the INHAM (applying the definition of “control” in Part IV(d)(3) of the INHAM Exemption) owns a 10% or more interest
in the Companies and (A) the identity of such INHAM and (B) the name(s) of the employee benefit plan(s) whose assets constitute
the Source have been disclosed to the Companies in writing pursuant to this Section 11.25(B)(5); or

 

(6)
the Source is a governmental plan; or

 

(7)
the Source is one or more employee benefit plans, or a separate account or trust fund comprised of one or more employee benefit
plans, each of which has been identified to the Borrower in writing pursuant to this Section 11.25(B)(7); or

 

(8)
the Source does not include assets of any employee benefit plan, other than a plan exempt from the coverage of ERISA.

 

As
used in this Section 11.22, the terms “employee benefit plan”, “governmental plan” and “separate
account” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in Section 3 of ERISA, and the term “QPAM Exemption”
means PTE 84-14 (issued March 13, 1984, as amended).

 

11.23.

Existing Note Purchase Agreement shall be amended and restated as set forth herein and the Existing Note Purchase Agreement shall
