Description of Common Stock

 

The following is a description of the rights of
Common Stock and related provisions of the Company’s Amended Articles of Incorporation (“Articles”) and Amended Bylaws
(“Bylaws”) and applicable Nevada law. This description is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction
with, the Articles, Bylaws and applicable Nevada law.

 

Capital Stock

 

As of July 12, 2021, our authorized capital stock
consists of 33,333,334 shares of Common Stock, of which 1,611,671 (subject to adjustment based on issuances of additional shares as applicable
due to the rounding up of fractional shares resulting from the Company’s July 12, 2021, 1:1,500 reverse stock split) shares were
issued and outstanding, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which no shares were issued and outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one
vote for each share issued and outstanding held on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders. Our shares of Common Stock have no
preemptive, conversion, or redemption rights. The rights, preferences, and privileges of the holders of Common Stock are subject to, and
may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock we may issue in the future. Upon the
sale of substantially all of our stock or assets or dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and after all liquidation preferences payable
to any series of preferred stock entitled thereto have been satisfied, our remaining assets shall be distributed to all holders of Common
Stock and any similarly situated stockholders who are not entitled to any liquidation preference or, if there be an insufficient amount
to pay all such stockholders, then ratably among such holders. All of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid
and non-assessable. The holders of shares of our Common Stock will be entitled to such dividends and other distributions in cash, stock
or property from our assets or funds legally available for such purposes as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors
(“Board”).

 

Our Common Stock is quoted on OTCQB under the
symbol “PMCB.” Our Common Stock has been approved for listing on the The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbol “PMCB”
and is expected to begin trading on August 10, 2021. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC is the transfer agent and registrar
for our Common Stock.

 

Anti-Takeover Effects of Nevada Law

 

The “business combination” provisions
of Sections 78.411 to 78.444, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), generally prohibit a Nevada corporation with
at least 200 stockholders of record from engaging in various “combination” transactions with any interested stockholder for
a period of two years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the transaction is
approved by the Board prior to the date the interested stockholder obtained such status or the combination is approved by the Board and
thereafter is approved at a meeting of the stockholders by the affirmative vote of stockholders representing at least 60% of the outstanding
voting power held by disinterested stockholders, and extends beyond the expiration of the two-year period, unless:

 

	 	·	the combination was approved by the Board prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder or the transaction by which the person first became an interested stockholder was approved by the Board before the person became an interested stockholder or the combination is later approved by a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders; or

 

 

 

    	 	1	 

     

    

 

	 	·	if the consideration to be paid by the interested stockholder is at least equal to the highest of: (i) the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the two years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or in the transaction in which it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher, (ii) the market value per share of common stock on the date of announcement of the combination and the date the interested stockholder acquired the shares, whichever is higher, or (iii) for holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if it is higher.

 

A “combination” is generally defined
to include mergers or consolidations or any sale, lease exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer, or other disposition, in one transaction
or a series of transactions, with an “interested stockholder” having: (i) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of
the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation, (ii) an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market
value of all outstanding shares of the corporation, (iii) 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation, and (iv)
certain other transactions with an interested stockholder or an affiliate or associate of an interested stockholder.

  

In general, an “interested stockholder”
is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within two years, did own) 10% or more of a corporation’s voting
stock. The statute could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change in control attempts and, accordingly, may discourage attempts
to acquire us even though such a transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their stock at a price above the prevailing
market price.

  

The provisions of Nevada law could have the effect
of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, they may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the market
price of our Common Stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect
of preventing changes in the composition of our Board and management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult
to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

 

In addition, the NRS provides for statutes, Sections
78.378 to 78.3793, inclusive, of the NRS, that limit the voting rights of the acquisition of a “controlling interest” defined
to occur at three ownership thresholds of one-fifth, one-third and a majority of the corporation’s voting power. Although our Articles
of Incorporation have not opted out of these statutes, the limitations on voting rights apply only to a corporation with 200 or more stockholders
of record, at least 100 of whom have addresses in the State of Nevada appearing on the corporation’s stock ledger during the 90
days immediately preceding the date of the acquisition.

        Section 2.5.       Optional Reduction and Termination of Commitments.  Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in
          writing) to the Lender (which notice shall be irrevocable), the Borrower may reduce the Revolving Commitment in part or terminate the Revolving Commitment in whole; provided that no such reduction shall be permitted which would reduce the
          Revolving Commitment to an amount less than the outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure of the Lender.

         

        Section 2.6.         Evidence of Indebtedness.    All Revolving Loans hereunder and interest thereon shall be evidenced by the Revolving Loan Note.

         

        Section 2.7.        Repayment of Loans.  The outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall be due and payable in full on the
          Revolving Commitment Termination Date.  Accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date.  Advances under this Agreement shall be recorded and maintained by the Lender in its internal records and such records
          shall be conclusive of the principal and interest owed by Borrower unless there is a material error in such records.

         

        Section 2.8.         Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

         

        (a)          Revolving Loans.  If at any time the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of the Lender exceeds the Revolving Commitment, as reduced pursuant to Section 2.5 or
          otherwise, the Borrower shall immediately repay the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such excess amount.

         

        (b)          [Reserved].

         

        (c)         Proceeds of Issuances of Indebtedness.  Immediately upon receipt by Borrower or any Subsidiary of any proceeds from any issuance of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness
          permitted by Section 8.1) by Borrower or such Subsidiary, Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans and the other Obligations in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of reasonable and customary transaction costs, fees and expenses
          properly attributable to such transaction and payable by Borrower in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-Affiliates).  Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.8(f).

         

        (d)         Asset Dispositions.  Immediately upon receipt by Borrower or any Subsidiary of any proceeds of any sale or disposition by Borrower or any
          Subsidiary of any of its assets (other than asset sales or dispositions permitted under Section 8.11), Borrower shall prepay the Obligations in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of commissions and other reasonable and customary
          transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction and payable by Borrower in connection therewith (in each case, paid to non-Affiliates).  Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.8(f).

         

        (e)          Transfer of Capital Stock or Substantial Assets of American Southern or Bankers Fidelity Life.  Immediately upon the consummation of any conveyance, sale, transfer, lease,
          assignment or other disposition of any portion of the Capital Stock of, or substantially all of the assets of, American Southern or Bankers Fidelity Life, Borrower shall prepay the then outstanding Obligations in their entirety.

         

        (f)          Application of Prepayments.  Any prepayments made by Borrower pursuant to clause (c) or clause (d) of this Section 2.8 shall be applied as follows: first, to
          Lender’s fees and reimbursable expenses then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to interest then due and payable hereunder; and third, to the principal balance of the Revolving Loans, until the same
          shall have been paid in full.

         

        
          12

          
            

        

        

        Section 2.9.         Interest on Loans.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay interest upon the unpaid principal balance of the outstanding
          Revolving Loans at the LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%. The interest rate shall remain fixed during each Interest Period based upon the interest rate established on the applicable Interest Rate Determination Date. For avoidance of doubt, upon the
          replacement of USD LIBOR or any subsequent Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement (as such terms are defined below), the interest rate shall equal the then-current Benchmark, subject to a minimum or floor rate of 1.00%, plus 2.00%. All other
          computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest shall accrue on
          each Revolving Loan for the day on which the Revolving Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Revolving Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Revolving Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Revolving Loan that is
          repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Lender of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  Accrued and unpaid
          interest shall be due and payable on each Interest Payment Date.

        

        

        Section 2.10.       Upfront Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender an
          upfront fee on the Closing Date in the amount of Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000), which upfront fee shall be fully-earned on the Closing Date and shall be non-refundable.

        

        

        Section 2.11.       Additional Costs.  In the event that any applicable law or
          regulation, guideline or order or the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or regulatory authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) (i) shall change the
          basis of taxation of payments to the Lender of any amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of the Lender) or (ii) shall impose, modify or deem
          applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by the Lender, or (iii) shall impose any other condition with respect to this Agreement or any of the Loan
          Documents, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or to reduce any amount receivable by the Lender under the Agreement or any of the Loan
          Documents, and the Lender determines that such increased costs or reduction in amount receivable was attributable to USD LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark being used to establish the interest rate hereunder, then the Borrower shall from time to
          time, upon demand by the Lender, pay to the Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for such increased costs (the “Additional Costs”).  A detailed statement as to the amount of such Additional Costs, prepared in good
          faith and submitted to the Borrower by the Lender, shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.

         

        Section 2.12.       Inability to Determine Index.  In the event
          Lender determines in its sole discretion on a particular date (the “Determination Date”) that Lender cannot make, fund, or maintain a loan based upon the LIBOR Rate (provided a Benchmark Transition Event has not occurred) or the Benchmark
          Replacement, as applicable, for any reason, including without limitation illegality or the inability to ascertain or determine said rate on the basis provided for herein, then Lender shall give notice to Borrower of such determination and
          thereafter will have no obligation to make, fund or maintain a loan based on such index.  Upon such Determination Date, the interest rate shall convert to the Standard Rate for purposes of any fundings or advances requested by Borrower and shall
          apply to any outstanding balance and, thereafter, the interest rate on the Revolving Loans shall adjust simultaneously with any fluctuation in the Standard Rate.  In the event Bank determines that the circumstances giving rise to a notice
          pursuant to this Section have ended, the Bank shall provide notice of same at which time the interest rate will revert to the prior rate based upon the LIBOR Rate (provided a Benchmark Transition Event has not occurred) or the Benchmark
          Replacement, as applicable, plus the margin over the index described in Section 2.9, subject to any minimum or floor rate provided for in the Loan Documents.

        Section 2.13.      Default Rate.  If any portion of a payment is at
          least ten (10) days past due, the Borrower agrees to pay a late charge to the Lender equal to 2.00% of the amount which is past due.  Unless prohibited by applicable law, the Borrower agrees to pay the fee established by the Lender from time to
          time for returned checks, wire transfer of funds, or chargeback of an ACH, if a payment is made on this Agreement and is dishonored or is otherwise determined to be uncollectible, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason, and
          without regard to the timeliness of the return, chargeback, adjustment, or notice of nonpayment.

        Section 3.1.        Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding
          anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any
          setting of the then-current Benchmark, then, (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, in connection with a Benchmark
          Transition Event, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or
          consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, or in
          connection with an Early Opt-in Election, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (Atlanta, Georgia) on the fifth
          (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Borrower without any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or further action or consent of the Borrower.

         

        Section 3.2.       Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In
          connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Lender will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document,
          any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of the Borrower.

         

        Section 3.3.        Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. 
          The Lender will promptly notify the Borrower of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii)
          the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 3.4 below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.
          Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Lender pursuant to Article IV, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and
          any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from the Borrower.

      Section 3.4.        Unavailability of
            Tenor of Benchmark.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term
        rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Lender in its reasonable discretion or (B)
        the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Lender  may modify the
        definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a
        screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then
        the Lender  may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

       

      Section 3.5.         Benchmark
            Unavailability Period.  Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for an advance based upon USD LIBOR, conversion to or continuation of loans
        based upon USD LIBOR to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to the Standard
        Rate. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of Standard Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as
        applicable, will not be used in any determination of Standard Rate.

       

      Section 3.6.         Benchmark
            Replacement.  Any term not otherwise defined in this Agreement, including in Section 1 above, shall have the meaning set forth below for purposes of this Agreement.

       

      “Available Tenor” shall mean, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, any tenor
        for such Benchmark or payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for
        the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Interest Period” pursuant to Section 3.4.

       

      “Benchmark” shall mean, initially, USD LIBOR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as
        applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to USD LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” shall mean the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has
        replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to Section 3.1.

       

      “Benchmark Replacement” shall mean, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by
        the Lender  for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

       

      (1)          the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

       

      (2)          the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

       

      
        15

        
          

      

      (3)        the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Lender as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding
        Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for
        determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated or bilateral credit facilities at  such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

       

      provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to
        time as selected by the Lender in its reasonable discretion. If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes
        of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

       

      “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” shall mean, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark
        Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:

       

      (1)         for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the
        Lender:

       

      (a)  the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such
        Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable
        Corresponding Tenor;

       

      (b)  the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that
        would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and

       

      (2)         for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment,
        (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Lender for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or
        determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing 
        market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated
        syndicated or bilateral credit facilities;

       

      

      
        16

        
          

      

      provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment
        from time to time as selected by the Lender in its reasonable discretion.

       

      “Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” shall mean, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or
        operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Standard Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing
        requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Lender decides may be appropriate to reflect the
        adoption and implementation  of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Lender in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Lender decides that adoption of any portion of such market
        practice is not administratively feasible or if the Lender determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Lender decides is reasonably necessary in
        connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

       

      “Benchmark Replacement Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the
        then-current          Benchmark:

       

      (1)         in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information
        referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component
        thereof);

      

      

      (2)          in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; or

       

      (3)          in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Borrower.

       

      For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any
        determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect
        to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

       

      “Benchmark Transition Event” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:

       

      (1)         a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof)
        announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no
        successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);

       

      
        17

        
          

      

      (2)         a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the
        calculation thereof), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with
        jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of
        such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no
        successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

       

      (3)         a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the
        calculation thereof) announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer   representative.

       

      For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set
        forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

       

      “Benchmark Unavailability Period” shall mean the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to
        clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if,  at such  time, no  Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for  all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Article IV and (y) ending at the
        time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in accordance with Article IV.

       

       “Corresponding Tenor” with respect to any Available Tenor shall mean, as applicable, either a tenor (including overnight) or an interest
        payment period having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as such Available Tenor.

       

      “Daily Simple SOFR” shall mean, for any day, SOFR, with the conventions for this rate (which will include a lookback) being established
        by the Lender  in accordance with the conventions for this rate selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for determining “Daily Simple SOFR” for business loans; provided, that if the Lender  decides that any such convention
        is not administratively feasible for the Lender , then the Lender  may establish another convention in its reasonable discretion.

       

      “Early Opt-in Election” shall mean, if the then-current Benchmark is USD LIBOR, the occurrence of:

       

      (1)         a determination by the Lender that at least five currently outstanding U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated or bilateral credit facilities at such time contain (as a
        result of amendment or as originally executed) a SOFR-based rate (including SOFR, a term SOFR or any other rate based upon SOFR) as a benchmark rate, and

       

      
        18

        
          

      

      (2)          the election by the Lender to trigger a fallback from USD LIBOR and the provision by the Lender of written notice of such election to the Borrower

       

      “Floor” shall mean the greater of (a) 1.00% or (b) the Benchmark rate floor, if any, provided for in this Agreement with respect to USD
        LIBOR.

       

      “ISDA Definitions” shall mean the 2006 ISDA Definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. or any
        successor thereto, as amended or supplemented from time to time, or any successor definitional booklet for interest rate derivatives published from time to time by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
        or such successor thereto.

       

      “Reference Time” with respect to any setting of the then-current Benchmark shall mean (1) if such Benchmark is USD LIBOR, 11:00 a.m.
        (London time) on the day that is two London banking days preceding the date of such setting, and (2) if such Benchmark is not USD LIBOR, the time determined by the Lender  in its reasonable discretion.

      Section 5.12.      Disclosure.  The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments, and corporate or other restrictions to which
        the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to any of them, that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  None of the reports, financial
        statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented
        by any other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, taken as a whole in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
        misleading; provided that, with respect to any projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time, it being understood
        that projections by their nature are uncertain and no assurance is given that the results reflected in such projections will be achieved.  As of the Closing Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and
        correct in all respects.

        employees, or (b) to the knowledge of the Borrower, any agent of the Borrower or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facilities established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person.  No Borrowing, use of
        proceeds or other contemplated hereby will violate Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions by Borrower or any other party hereto.

          mail or, if delivered by hand, upon delivery; provided that notices delivered to the Lender shall not be effective until actually received by the Lender at its address specified in this Section.

         

        (ii)          Any agreement of the Lender herein to receive certain notices by telephone or facsimile is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Borrower.  The Lender shall be
          entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person authorized by the Borrower to give such notice and the Lender shall not have any liability to the Borrower or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by
          the Lender in reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice.  The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Revolving Loans and all other Obligations hereunder shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure of the Lender to
          receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by the Lender of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Lender to be contained in any such telephonic, e-mail or facsimile notice.

         

        Section 10.2.       Waiver;

              Amendments.

         

        (a)         No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Lender, shall oper-ate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or
          further exercise thereof or the exer-cise of any other right or power hereunder or thereunder.  The rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclu-sive of any rights or remedies
          provided by law.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) of this
          Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Revolving Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of
          any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

         

        (b)          No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective
          unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Lender, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the spe-cific purpose for which given.

        Section 10.3.       Expenses;

              Indemnification.

         

        (a)          The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lender and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees,
          charges and disbursements of counsel for the Lender and its Affiliates, in connection with the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
          in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be consummated), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Lender and its Affiliates, and (ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without
          limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside coun-sel and the allocated cost of inside counsel) incurred by the Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement,
          including its rights under this Section.

         

        (b)         The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender and each Related Party of the Lender (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from,
          any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and
          disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or
          delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the
          transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Revolving Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the
          Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
          whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be
          available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from (x) the gross negligence or willful
          misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

         

        (c)          The Borrower shall pay, and hold the Lender harmless from and against, any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and other similar taxes with re-spect to this Agreement and
          any other Loan Documents, any collateral described therein or any payments due thereunder, and save the Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes.

         

        (d)          To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
          consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or direct damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions
          contemplated therein, any Revolving Loan or the use of proceeds thereof; provided, that nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify any Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or
          punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party.

         

        (e)          All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

        Section 10.4.       Successors

              and Assigns.

         

        (a)          This Agreement shall apply to and bind the Borrower’s successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns. Notwithstanding
          the foregoing, the Borrower shall not assign the Borrower’s rights or obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the Lender’s prior written consent.

         

        (b)          The Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant
          participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the “Securities”); provided that the sale, transfer or
          assignment of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall require the prior written consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, further that notwithstanding the foregoing, no such
          consent of the Borrower shall be required if (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to an Affiliate of the Lender or an Approved
          Fund of the Lender.  The Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, or investor in such Securities or any Rating Agency (as hereinafter defined) rating such Securities (collectively, the “Investor”)
          and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which the Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Borrower, any loan to the Borrower, any guarantor or the property, whether furnished by the Borrower, any guarantor or
          otherwise, as the Lender determines necessary or desirable.  The term “Rating Agency” shall mean each statistical rating agency that has assigned a rating to the Securities.

         

        Section 10.5.       Governing

              Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

         

        (a)         This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating
          to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be construed in accordance with and be governed by the law (without
          giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof) of the State of Georgia.

         

        (b)        The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States
          District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, and of the Business Case Division of the Fulton County Superior Court located in Atlanta, Georgia, and of any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
          relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
          claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such District Court or the Fulton County Superior Court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such appellate
          court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this
          Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any
          jurisdiction.

         

        (c)          The Borrower ir--revocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding described in
          subsection (b) of this Section and brought in any court referred to in subsection (b) of this Section.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
          maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

         

        
          35

          
            

        

        

        (d)          Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1.  Nothing in this Agreement or in any other
          Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

         

        Section 10.6.      WAIVER

              OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
          OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
          OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
          BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

         

        Section 10.7.      Right

              of Set-off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Lender shall have the right, at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during
          the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply against all deposits (general or special, time or
          demand, provisional or final) of the Borrower at any time held or other obligations at any time owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations held by the Lender, irrespective of whether
          the Lender shall have made demand hereunder and although such Obligations may be unmatured.  The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and any application made by the Lender; provided that the failure to
          give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

         

        Section 10.8.      Counterparts;

              Integration.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
          instrument.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto and their affiliates regarding the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and
          understandings, oral or written, regarding such subject matters.  Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement or any other Loan Document by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in pdf format shall be as effective as delivery of
          a manually executed counterpart hereof.

         

        Section 10.9.       Survival. 

          All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates, reports, notices or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been
          relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of any Revolving Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its
          behalf and notwithstanding that the Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal
          of or any accrued interest on any Revolving Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Revolving Commitment has not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Section 10.3
          shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Revolving Loans, the expiration or termination of the Revolving Commitment or the termination of this
          Agreement or any provision hereof.

        Section 10.10.     Severability. 
          Any provision of this Agreement -or any other Loan Document held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without
          affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
          unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

         

        Section 10.11.    Patriot
              Act.  The Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that, (a) pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower,
          which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow the Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act, and (b) pursuant to the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required
          to obtain a Beneficial Ownership Certification.

         

        Section 10.12.    Maximum

              Rate.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Revolving Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which may be
          treated as interest on such Revolving Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved
          by the Lender in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Revolving Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the
          interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Revolving Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to the Lender in respect of other
          Revolving Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Standard Rate to the date of repayment (to the extent permitted by applicable law), shall
          have been received by the Lender.
