			(g)Permitted Acquisitions;
		

		

		

		 

 

		(h)intercompany loans, advances or capital contributions made by any Credit Party to any of its Subsidiaries which are not Credit Parties (i) made prior to September 30, 2020 and (ii) made on or after September 30, 2020, in an amount not to exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate at any time outstanding; and
