the actual loss of the anticipated stream of interest payments upon an early prepayment of the Loan (such damages being otherwise impossible
to ascertain or even estimate for various reasons, including, without limitation, because such damages would depend on, among other things,
(x) when the Loan might otherwise be repaid and (y) future changes in interest rates which are not readily ascertainable on
the date hereof), and (iii) is not a penalty to punish the Borrower for its early prepayment of the Loan or for the occurrence of
any Event of Default or any other Prepayment Fee Event, as the case may be. The Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to
pay the Prepayment Fee to the Lender as herein described is a material inducement to the Lender to enter into this Agreement.

shall accrue on the Loan commencing with the day on which the Loan is made until the Loan is repaid in full and shall not accrue on the
Loan, or any portion thereof (as applicable), for the day on which the Loan or such portion (as applicable) is repaid or prepaid. The
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to, and shall, pay to the Lender such accrued and unpaid interest.

If the Borrower fails to pay any amount
payable by it hereunder on its due date, interest shall accrue on the overdue amount from the due date up to the date of actual payment

Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”
for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan

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.

 

		(d)	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 the Term SOFR Reference Rate) 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
administrator of such Benchmark or 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 not or will not be representative, then the Lender may modify
the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) 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 not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement),
then the Lender may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark
settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

	9.	Withholding of Taxes; Gross-up

 

		(a)	Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of
any obligation of the Borrower to the Lender under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except
as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires
the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled
to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority
in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower to the Lender shall be
increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable
to additional sums payable under this Section 9), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been made.

 

		(b)	Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely
pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Lender, timely reimburse it for,
Other Taxes.

 

		(c)	Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of
Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 9, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original
or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment,
or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

 

		(d)	Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the
Lender, within twenty (20) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes
imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 9) payable or paid by the Lender or required to be withheld
or deducted from a payment to the Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified
Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

    25

     

    

 

		(e)	Status of Lender.

 

		(i)	If the Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested
by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments
to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower
to determine whether or not the Lender 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 in paragraphs (e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section 9) shall not be required if in the Lender’s
reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or
would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Lender.

 

		(ii)	Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the
Borrower is a U.S. Person,

 

		(A)	any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower on or about
the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the
Borrower), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

		(B)	any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), whichever of the
following is applicable:

 

		(1)	in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty
to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN
or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest”
article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN
or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business
profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

		(2)	executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

    26

     

    

 

		(3)	in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 to
the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10
percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign
corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”)
and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W 8BEN-E; or

 

		(4)	to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies
of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W 8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance
Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-3, IRS Form W-9, or other certification documents
from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners
of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit A-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

		(C)	any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed copies
of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax,
duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine
the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

		(D)	if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA
(including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed
by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender
has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.
Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

    27

     

    

 

Each Lender agrees that if any form
or certification it previously delivered pursuant to Section 9(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect,
it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

		(f)	Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Lender 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 9
(including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 9), it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such
refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 9 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund),
net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Lender and without interest (other than any interest
paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, shall repay to
the Lender the amount paid over to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(f), in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying
party pursuant to this Section 9(f), the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than
the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or
otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section9(f) shall
not be construed to require the Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems
confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 

		(g)	Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 9
shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, the Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations
of the Borrower under this Agreement and any other Loan Document.

 

		(h)	Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 9, the term “applicable
law” includes FATCA.

 

	10.	Increased Costs; Compensation for Losses; Inability to Determine Rates;
Illegality

 

		(a)	Increased Costs. The Borrower shall, within twenty (20) days of a
written demand by the Lender pay for the account of the Lender the amount of any Increased Costs reasonably determined by the Lender to
have been incurred by the Lender as a result of the introduction of or any change in (or in the interpretation, administration or application
of, or compliance with) any applicable law or regulation occurring after the date of this Agreement.

 

    28

     

    

 

“Increased Costs” means:
a reduction in the rate of return from the Facility or on the Lender’s overall capital, an additional or increased cost; or a reduction
of any amount due and payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or the imposition or modification of any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended
or participated in by, the Lender, which is incurred or suffered by the Lender to the extent that it is attributable to the Lender having
entered into its commitment to fund, or funding or performing its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or the
Lender shall be subject to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, commitments, or
other obligations.

 

		(b)	Compensation for Losses. In the event of (i)  the payment of
any principal of the Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period, (ii) the conversion of the interest rate on the Loan
from the Contract Interest Rate to the Alternate Rate on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period under the circumstances
described in Section 10(c) or Section 10(d), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate the Lender for any
loss (not including loss of anticipated margin), cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss (not including loss of
anticipated margin), cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable. A certificate of
the Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that the Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered
to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate
within twenty (20) days after receipt thereof.

 

		(c)	Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 8.5, if on
or prior to the first day of any Interest Period Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or the Lender determines that for any reason
the continuation of the Loan at the Contract Interest Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making and
maintaining the Loan at the Contract Interest Rate, the Lender will promptly so notify the Borrower. Upon such notice, the Loan will automatically
begin to accrue interest at the Alternate Rate until the Lender revokes such notice. Upon any such conversion to the Alternate Rate, the
Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 10(b).

 

		(d)	Illegality. If the Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful,
or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain
or fund loans whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge
interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower (an “Illegality
Notice”), the Loan will automatically begin to accrue interest at the Alternate Rate until the Lender notifies the Borrower that
it is no longer illegal for the Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Term SOFR.
Upon any such conversion to the Alternate Rate, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with
any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 10(b).

 

    29

     

    

 

 

		11.	Other Indemnities

 

		(a)	The Borrower hereby indemnifies the Lender and its Related Parties (collectively,
the “Indemnitees” and each, an “Indemnitee”) against any cost, loss or liability which the Lender
incurs as a consequence of: (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default or an acceleration made pursuant to Section 17.11; (ii) a
failure by the Borrower to pay any amount due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document on its due date; or (iii) the Loan
not being prepaid in accordance with a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not
have any obligation to indemnify any Indemnitee under this Section 11(a) with respect to any such cost, loss or liability to
the extent such cost, loss or liability shall have resulted (A) from such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct,
or material breach of any of its obligations hereunder, in each case, as determined in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction or (B) out of or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act
or omission by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and that is brought by a Lender against any other Lender.

 

		(b)	To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto shall
not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any other Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or
any other document contemplated thereby, or any extension of credit, the use thereof or of the proceeds thereof or such Person’s
activities in connection therewith; provided that such waiver of special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages shall not limit
the indemnification obligations of the Borrower under clause (a) above.

 

		12.	Costs and Expenses

 

The Borrower shall, within twenty (20)
days of written demand, pay to the Lender the amount of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented
legal fees of one primary counsel) incurred by the Lender in connection with the enforcement of, or the preservation of any rights, under
this Agreement and any other Loan Document.

		13.1.	Organization; Power and Authority

 

The Borrower is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation
and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which
the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. The Borrower has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold
under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement and any other Loan
Document and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof.

 

		13.2.	Binding obligations

 

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the party of the Company. This Agreement constitutes, and upon the execution
and delivery of any other Loan Document, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the
Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles
of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) implied covenants
of good faith and fair dealing.

 

		13.3.	[Reserved].

 

		13.4.	[Reserved].

 

		13.5.	Solvency

 

As of the Closing Date, immediately
after the incurrence of the Loan on the Closing Date and the consummation of the other transactions to be consummated on the Closing Date,
(a) the sum of the debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Borrower does not exceed the fair value of
the assets of the Borrower; (b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Borrower is not less than the amount that will
be required to pay the probable liabilities of the Borrower’s debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise,
as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Borrower will not have unreasonably small capital with which
to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted after the Closing Date;
and (d) the Borrower does not intend to incur, or believe that it will incur, debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or
otherwise, beyond its ability to pay such debts and liabilitis as they become absolute and matured.

 

		13.6.	No default

 

Before and after giving effect to this
Agreement (and the application of the proceeds as contemplated by Section 3), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing.

 

    	 	31	 

    

    

 

		13.7.	Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments

 

The execution, delivery and performance
by the Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Document will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default
under, or result in the creation of any lien in respect of any property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under, (A) the corporate
charter, by-laws or shareholders agreement of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or (B) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan,
purchase or credit agreement, lease or any other agreement or instrument to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is bound or by which
the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a
breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental
Authority applicable to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation
of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Borrower or any Subsidiary except where any of the foregoing (other than clause (i)(A) above),
individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except for public disclosure
filings required to be made by the Borrower with the SEC, no consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration
with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of this Agreement
and any other Loan Document.

 

		13.8.	Pari passu ranking

 

Its payment obligations under this Agreement
and any other Loan Document rank at least pari passu, without preference or priority, with all other unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness
of the Borrower, as applicable.

 

		13.9.	No proceedings

 

		(a)	There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to
the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any property of the Borrower
or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that could, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

		(b)	Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is (i) in default under any
agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, (ii) in violation of any order, judgment, decree or ruling
of any court, any arbitrator of any kind or any Governmental Authority or (iii) in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or
regulation of any Governmental Authority (including Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act or any of the other laws and regulations that
are referred to in Section 13.15), which default or violation could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

    	 	32	 

    

    

 

		13.10.	Taxation

 

The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have
filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on
such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such
taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the
amount of which, individually or in the aggregate, is not Material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has
established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The Borrower knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that could, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of U.S. federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The U.S. federal income
tax liabilities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute
of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.

 

		13.11.	[Reserved].

 

		13.12.	Title to Property; Leases

 

The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have
good and sufficient title to their respective properties that individually or in the aggregate are Material, in each case free and clear
of Liens prohibited by this Agreement. All leases that individually or in the aggregate are Material are valid and subsisting and are
in full force and effect in all material respects.

 

		13.13.	Licenses, Permits, Etc.

 

		(a)	The Borrower and its Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits,
franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, proprietary software, service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that
individually or in the aggregate are Material, without known conflict with the rights of others, except for any such conflicts that, individually
or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

		(b)	To the best knowledge of the Borrower, no product or service of the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries infringes in any material respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary
software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually
or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

		(c)	To the best knowledge of the Borrower, there is no Material violation by
any Person of any right of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent,
copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

		(a)	Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains, contributes to or
is obligated to maintain or contribute to, or has, at any time within the past six years, maintained, contributed to or been obligated
to maintain or contribute to, any employee benefit plan which is subject to Title I or Title IV of ERISA or section 4975 of the Code (a
 “U.S. Plan”).

 

		(b)	The execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other Loan Document
and the borrowing of the Loan hereunder will not involve any transaction that is subject to the prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA or
in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975(c)(1)(A) (D) of the Code.

 

		(c)	The Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any Foreign Plans.

that have been imposed by the United Nations or the European Union or any Sanctions Authority.

 

		(b)	Neither the Borrower nor any Controlled Entity (i) is in violation
of, has violated, been found in violation of, or been charged or convicted under, any applicable U.S. Economic Laws, any Canadian Sanctions
Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws or Anti-Corruption Laws or (ii) to the Borrower’s knowledge, is under investigation by any
Governmental Authority for possible violation of any applicable U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws, any Canadian Economic Sanctions Laws, Anti-Money
Laundering Laws or Anti-Corruption Laws.

 

		(c)	No part of the proceeds of the Loan: (i) constitutes or will constitute
funds obtained on behalf of any Blocked Person, or will otherwise be used by the Borrower or any Controlled Entity, directly or indirectly,
(A) in connection with any investment in, or any transactions or dealings with, any Blocked Person, (B) for any purpose that
would cause the Lender to be in violation of any U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws or any Canadian Economic Sanctions Laws or (C) otherwise
in violation of any U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws or any Canadian Economic Sanctions Laws; (ii) will be used, directly or indirectly,
in violation of, or will be used for any purpose that will cause the Lender to be in violation of, any applicable Anti-Money Laundering
Laws; or (iii) will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of making any improper payments, including bribes, to any
Governmental Official or commercial counterparty in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in each
case which would be in violation of, or cause the Lender to be in violation of, any applicable Anti-Corruption Laws.

 

		(d)	The Borrower has established procedures and controls which it reasonably
believes are adequate (and otherwise comply with applicable law) to ensure that the Borrower and each Controlled Entity is and will continue
to be in compliance with all applicable U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws, any Canadian Economic Sanctions Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws
and Anti-Corruption Laws.

		13.16.	Environmental Matters

 

		(a)	Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has knowledge of any claim or has
received any written notice of any claim and no proceeding has been instituted asserting any claim against the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective real properties or other assets now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them, alleging
any damage to the environment or violation of any Environmental Laws, except, in each case, such as would not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

		(b)	Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has knowledge of any facts which
would give rise to any claim, public or private, of violation of Environmental Laws or damage to the environment emanating from, occurring
on or in any way related to real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or to other assets or their use,
except, in each case, such as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

		(c)	Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has stored any Hazardous Materials
on real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them in a manner which is contrary to any Environmental Law that
could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

		(d)	Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has disposed of any Hazardous Materials
in a manner which is contrary to any Environmental Law that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

		(e)	All buildings on all real properties now owned, leased or operated by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary are in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, except where failure to comply would not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

		13.17.	Disclosure

 

		(a)	All written information which has been delivered to the Lender by or on
behalf of the Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any further information publicly filed and
reported by Borrower regarding the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (other than financial projections, pro forma financial information and

a Material Adverse Effect.

 

		16.2.	Insurance

 

The Borrower will, and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties
and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance
and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations
engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary,
provided that neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (i) the amount,
applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Borrower or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings,
and the Borrower or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Borrower or such

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

will at all times preserve and keep its legal existence in full force and effect. The Borrower will at all times preserve and keep in

all rights and franchises of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, the termination of
or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such legal existence, right or franchise would not, individually or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

		16.6.	Books and Records

 

The Borrower will, and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in which such entries that are full, true and correct in all material
respects are made in a manner to allow financial statements to be prepared in conformity with GAAP consistently applied (it being understood
and agreed that Foreign Subsidiaries may maintain individual books and records in a manner to allow financial statements to be prepared
in conformity under GAAP that applicable in their respective jurisdiction of organization). The Borrower will, and will cause each of
its Subsidiaries to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect in all material respects all transactions
and dispositions of assets. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have devised a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide

Subsidiary), except (i) in the ordinary course and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s
business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favourable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable
arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate, or (ii) a transaction that has been approved by a majority of the
independent directors of the Board of Directors of the Borrower, or (iii) any co-investment with Affiliates of the Borrower that
is permitted under any established SEC guidance, no-action letter or order or Exemptive Relief.

or the Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower as an entirety, as
the case may be, shall be a solvent corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States
or any state thereof (including the District of Columbia);

 

		(b)	if the Borrower is not such corporation or limited liability company, (A) such
corporation or limited liability company shall have executed and delivered to each Lender its assumption of the due and punctual performance

    	 	42	 

    

    

 

		(c)	immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction or each transaction
in any such series of transactions, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. No such conveyance, transfer
or lease of substantially all of the assets of the Borrower shall have the effect of releasing the Borrower or any successor corporation
or limited liability company that shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Section 16.11, from its liability
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

		16.12.	Line of Business

 

The Borrower will not and will not permit
any Subsidiary to engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business in which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries,

now owned or held or hereafter acquired, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income
or profits, except (a) Liens on Equity Interests in any SBIC Subsidiary created in favour of the SBA or its designee, (b) leases,
licenses, subleases or sublicenses granted to others in the ordinary course of business which do not (i) interfere in any material
respect with the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or (ii) secure any Indebtedness. For the avoidance of doubt, this

		17.11.	Acceleration

 

If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described
in Section 17.5 hereof), occurs and is continuing, the Lender may declare the Loan then out¬standing to be due and payable in
whole, whereupon the principal of the Loan so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees (including,
for the avoidance of doubt, any Prepayment Fees) and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document,
shall become due and payable immediately, in each case without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which
are hereby waived by the Borrower; and if any Event of Default described in Section 17.5 hereof occurs, the principal of the Loan
then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Prepayment Fees) and
other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Documents, shall automatically become due and payable, in
each case without present¬ment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. If any
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether the Loan has become or has been declared immediately due
and payable under this Section 17.11, the Lender may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by an action at law, suit in equity
and/or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Loan Document,
or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby
or thereby or by law or otherwise.

 

		18.	Successors and Assigns

 

		18.1.	Successors and Assigns.

 

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.

 

		18.2.	Assignments and transfer by the Lender.

 

The Lender may assign to one or more
Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan Document (including all or a portion of
its Loan at the time owing to it), to any Person; provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default exists, any such
assignment to any Person that is not an Eligible Assignee shall require the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Lender without such consent shall
be null and void), provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment unless it shall object thereto
by written notice to the Lender within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof. With respect to any such assignment permitted
pursuant to the foregoing in this Section 18.2, the Lender shall provide the Borrower with a copy of the agreement effecting such
assignment (an “Assignment Agreement”) and upon request of the Lender, the Borrower, the Lender and the assignee(s) shall
execute any amendment and/or any other document that may be necessary to effectuate such an assignment, including an amendment or amendment
and restatement to this Agreement to provide for multiple lenders and a Lender to act on behalf of such lenders.

 

    47

     

    

 

		18.3.	Assignments and transfer by the Borrower

 

The Borrower may not assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Lender
(which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion) (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without
such consent shall be null and void).

 

		18.4.	Register

 

The Borrower shall maintain at one of
its offices a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender
and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loan owing to, the Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
Without limitation of any other provision of this Section 18, no transfer of an interest in a Loan hereunder shall be effective unless
and until recorded in the Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Lender
and the applicable assignee Lender of the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms
hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the
Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

		18.5.	Participations.

 

The Lender may, without the prior written
consent of the Borrower (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion), sell participations to any Person (other than natural
persons) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement
shall remain unchanged; (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;
and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 9 and 10 (subject
to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant
to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 9 or 10, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to
the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable
participation.

 

    48

     

    

 

To the extent permitted by law, each
Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 20 as though it were the Lender. If the Lender shall sell a participation,
it shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and
address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other
obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that the
Lender shall have no obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant
or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in the Loan or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered
form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Proposed
Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest
error, and the Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for
all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

		18.6.	Pledge by Lender

 

The Lender may at any time pledge or
assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and other Loan Document to secure obligations of the
Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder
or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

 

		19.	Payment Mechanics

 

On each date on which the Borrower is
required to make a payment to the Lender, the Borrower shall make such payment to the Lender’s account, which details are set forth
in Schedule 19 hereto (or to another account as may be advised by the Lender, from time to time), for value on the due date by
no later than 12:00 PM (New York time). Any payment received after 12:00 PM (New York time), as aforesaid, shall be deemed to have been
received on the first Business Day following the date of receipt.

 

		20.	Set Off

 

		(a)	The Lender may set off any amount at any time owing by the Lender to the
Borrower against any amount owing by the Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement and any other Loan Document.

 

		(b)	All payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be calculated and be made without (and free and clear of any deduction for) set off or counterclaim.

 

    49

     

    

 

		21.	Notices

 

		(a)	Every notice or other communication under this Agreement or any other Loan

facsimile or e-mail transmission at the time of delivery or dispatch if during normal business hours in the place of intended receipt
on a Business Day in that place and otherwise at the opening of business in that place on the next succeeding such Business Day, provided
that any notice or communication to be made or delivered to the Lender shall be effective only on actual receipt by the Lender.

 

		22.	Partial invalidity

 

If, at any time, any provision of this
Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity
or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other
jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.

 

		23.	Remedies and waivers

 

No failure to exercise, nor any delay
in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right or remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver
of any such right or remedy or constitute an election to affirm this Agreement or any other Loan Document. No election to affirm this
Agreement or any other Loan Document on the part of the Lender shall be effective unless it is in writing. No single or partial exercise
of any right or remedy shall prevent any further or other exercise or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies
provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

    50

     

    

 

		24.	Amendments

 

		(a)	No waiver (including any waiver of a Default or an Event of Default) or
amendment of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by all the parties hereto.

 

		(b)	Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in Section 24(a) shall
be binding upon the parties hereto without regard to whether this Agreement has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such
amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or
waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Borrower and the Lender and no delay in exercising any
rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver of any rights of the Lender.

 

		25.	Third party rights

 

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 Lender’s Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, partners,
members, trustees, employees, agents, administrators, managers, representatives and advisors of the Lender and the Lender’s Affiliates)
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

		26.	Interest Rate Limitation

 

Notwithstanding any other provision
herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed
the Highest Lawful Rate (defined below). If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement
at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful
Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated
rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid
in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest
which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then
to the extent permitted by law, Borrowers shall pay to the Lender an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid
and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrowers to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts
for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall
be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans
made hereunder or be refunded to Borrowers. As used herein, “Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum lawful interest rate,
if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, charged, or received under the laws applicable to any Lender which
are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by law, under such applicable laws which may hereafter be in effect and which allow
a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow.

 

    51

     

    

 

		27.	Returned Payments

 

If after receipt of any payment which
is applied to the payment of all or any part of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including
a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff), the Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds
to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or
voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the Lender in its discretion), then the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
or any part of such obligations, intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement and the other applicable Loan
Documents shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Lender. The provisions of this Section 27
shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Lender in reliance upon such payment
or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 27 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

		28.	[Reserved].

 

		29.	Counterparts

 

		(a)	This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a
single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

		(b)	Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement
and/or any other Loan Document by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that shall be effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Loan Document. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,”
 “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to include
electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in any electronic form (including deliveries by telecopy, emailed pdf. or
any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page), each of which shall be of the same legal effect,
validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system,
as the case may be.

 

    52

     

    

 

		30.	Governing Law

 

		(a)	THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

		(b)	Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits,
for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. federal or New York State court sitting in New York, New York,
and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Loan Document
or any of the transactions relating hereto or thereto, 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 (and any such claims, cross-claims
or third party claims brought against the Lender) be heard and determined in such state court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such
federal 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.

 

		(c)	Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive,
to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or here¬after have to the laying of venue
of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in
paragraph (b) above of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

		(d)	Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process
in the manner provided for notices in Section 21. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any
party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

    53

     

    

 

		31.	Confidentiality

 

		(a)	For the purposes of this Section 31, “Confidential Information”
means information delivered to the Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated
by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was
publicly known or otherwise known to the Lender prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through
no act or omission by the Lender or any Person acting on the Lender’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to the Lender from
a third-party not actually known to be in breach of an obligation of confidentiality to the Borrower, or (d) constitutes financial
statements delivered to the Lender under Section 14.1 that are otherwise publicly available. The Lender will keep any and all Confidential
Information in accordance with procedures adopted by the Lender in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered
to the Lender and not disclose it to another or make any use of it that is not permitted by this Agreement, provided that the Lender may
deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees (legal and contractual), agents, attorneys,
trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Loan),
(ii) its auditors, financial advisors, other professional advisors, consultants, valuators and quoting agencies and investors or
partners in Related Funds that are holders of the Loan who agree, in each case, to hold confidential the Confidential Information in accordance
with this Section 31, (iii) any other holder of the Loan (or any portion thereof), any Participant or any potential assignee
(it being understood that the Person(s) to whom such disclosure is made is informed of the confidential nature of such information
and agrees to be bound by this Section 31), (iv) any institutional investor to which it sells or offers to sell the Loan or
any part thereof (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 31),
(v) [reserved], (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Lender, (vii) the NAIC or the
SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about the
Lender’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure is necessary or appropriate
(w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to the Lender, (x) in response to any subpoena or
other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which the Lender is a party, or (z) if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, to the extent the Lender may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate
in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under the Loan, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that the Lender is compelled to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to clause (viii)(w) (except
where disclosure of the purchase of the Loan is to be made to any supervisory or regulatory body during the normal course of its exercise
of its regulatory or supervisory function over the Lender and consistent with the Lender’s usual practice), (viii)(x) or (viii)(y) of
the preceding sentence, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law, rule, regulation or order, the Lender shall use its reasonable
best efforts to give the Borrower prompt notice of such pending disclosure and, to the extent practicable, the opportunity to seek a protective
order or to pursue such further legal action as may be necessary to preserve the privileged nature and confidentiality of the Confidential
Information. Each assignee Lender, by its acceptance of an assignment agreement, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be
entitled to the benefits of this Section 31 as though it were a party to this Agreement.

 

		(b)	In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating
to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement,
the Lender is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual
workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 31, this Section 31 shall not be amended thereby and, as between
the Lender and the Borrower, this Section 31 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

 

    54

     

    

 

		32.	WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

 

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY 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 OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, 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 OR OTHER AGENT (INCLUDING ANY 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 AGREE¬MENT
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
