  (i)       Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to lend to Borrowers
on the Closing Date the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 2.01 under the heading “Term
Loan Commitment” (such amount being referred to herein as such Lender’s “Term Loan Commitment”); provided,
that after giving effect to the Term Loan Borrowing on the Closing Date, Outstanding Amount of the Term Loan shall not exceed
the Aggregate Term Loan Cap. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(b)(i) are referred to as the initial “Term Loan.”

 

  (ii)      Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender severally agrees to lend to the Borrowers,
on the first Business Day following the Closing Date or any Business Day thereafter until the Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment
Expiration Date (each such date, an “Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan Funding Date”, an aggregate amount not to exceed
the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name in Schedule 2.01 under the heading “Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan
Commitment” (such amount being referred to herein as such Lender’s “Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment”);
provided, that after giving effect to the Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan Borrowing on each Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan Funding

Delayed Draw Term Loan Borrowing) shall not exceed the Aggregate Term Loan Cap. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(a)(ii)
are referred to as an “Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan.” The Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of each Initial
Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender shall be reduced on each Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan Funding Date by the amount of such Initial

funded, an Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan shall become part of the initial Term Loan. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees

necessary to ensure that each Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan is included in the initial Term Loan. In addition, each scheduled
amortization payment under Section 2.06 required to be made after the making of any Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be ratably
increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan for all Lenders on a pro rata basis to the
extent necessary, including to avoid any reduction in the amortization payments to which the initial Term Lenders are entitled

in respect of the initial Term Loan on any day shall have been reduced or eliminated due to the application thereto of a prepayment
prior to the date on which an Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan is funded, then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.12 hereof
to the contrary, Lenders who hold such funded Initial Delayed Draw Term Loans on such day shall be entitled to receive the entire
portion of each payment of, or application to, the installment with respect to such funded Initial Delayed Draw Term Loan scheduled
to be made on such day; provided, that such payment shall be shared on a pro rata basis among the Lenders who hold such Initial
Delayed Draw Term Loan and the Lenders who hold any Additional Delayed Draw Term Loan, if applicable.

Draw Term Loan Commitment” (such amount being referred to herein as such Lender’s “Additional Delayed Draw Term

Delayed Draw Term Loan Funding Date, the Outstanding Amount of the Term Loan (including the amount of such Additional Delayed
Draw Term Loan Borrowing and any prior Delayed Draw Term Loan Borrowing) shall not exceed the Aggregate Term Loan Cap. Amounts
borrowed under this Section 2.01(a)(ii) are referred to as an “Additional Delayed Draw Term Loan.” The Additional
Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of each Additional Delayed Draw Term Loan Lender shall be reduced on the Additional Delayed
Draw Term Loan Funding Date by the amount of such Additional Delayed Draw Term Borrowing; provided, that there shall be no more
than four Additional Delayed Draw Term Loan Funding Dates. Once funded, an Additional Delayed Draw Term Loan shall become part
of the initial Term Loan. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that Agent may, in consultation with Borrower,
take any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that each Additional Delayed Draw Term Loan is included in the
initial Term Loan. In addition, each scheduled amortization payment under Section 2.06 required to be made after the making of
any Additional Delayed Draw Term Loan shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Delayed
Draw Term Loan for all Lenders on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, including to avoid any reduction in the amortization
payments to which the initial Term Lenders are entitled in respect of such Additional Delayed Draw Term Loan. To the extent any
installment under Section 2.06 that is scheduled to be made in respect of the initial Term Loan on any day shall have been reduced
or eliminated due to the application thereto of a prepayment prior to the date on which an Additional Delayed Draw Term Loan is
funded, then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.12 hereof to the contrary, Lenders who hold such funded Additional Delayed
Draw Term Loans on such day shall be entitled to receive the entire portion of each payment of, or application to, the installment
with respect to such funded Additional Delayed Draw Term Loan scheduled to be made on such day; provided, that such payment shall
be shared on a pro rata basis among the Lenders who hold such Additional Delayed Draw Term Loan and the Lenders who hold any Initial
Delayed Draw Term Loan, if applicable.

the foregoing, during the period beginning six months prior to the Maturity Date and ending on the Maturity Date, no Early Termination
Fee shall be due if the Lead Borrower provides prior written notice to Agent at least ninety (90) days prior to the applicable
Termination Date.

 

    -47-

     

    

 

(d)       Other
Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified
in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

2.09.       Computation
of Interest and Fees. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a
Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that for purposes of calculating
interest, all principal payments made by or on account of the Borrowers shall be deemed to have been applied to the Loans two
(2) Business Day(s) after receipt. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and
binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

2.10.       Evidence
of Debt.

 

(a)       The
Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Agent (the “Loan
Account”) in the ordinary course of business. In addition, each Lender may record in such Lender’s internal records,
an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Loan from such Lender, each payment and prepayment of principal
of any such Loan, and each payment of interest, fees and other amounts due in connection with the Obligations due to such Lender.
The accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the
Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error
in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with
respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts
and records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest
error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Agent) a promissory note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to
such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its promissory note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity
of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. Upon receipt of an affidavit of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of such Lender’s promissory note and upon cancellation of such promissory note, the Borrowers will issue, in lieu
thereof, a replacement promissory note in favor of such Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

 

2.11.       Payments
Generally; Agent’s Clawback.

 

(a)       General.
All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment
or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Agent, for
the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately
available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Agent will, subject to Section 2.13 hereof, promptly
distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds
as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall, at
the option of the Agent, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue
to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made
on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may
be.

 

    -48-

     

    

 

(b)          (i)         Funding
by Lenders; Presumption by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any
Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing or participation, the
Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 or Section
2.04, as applicable, and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In
such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable
Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available
funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding
the date of payment to the Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate
and the costs thereof to Borrowers under the terms of this Agreement as determined by Agent, and (B) in the case of a payment to
be made by the Borrowers, the Applicable Rate. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Agent for the same
or an overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for
such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such
Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers
may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agent.

 

(ii)       Payments
by Borrowers; Presumptions by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the time at
which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of any of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment,
the Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then
each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately
available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding
the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and the costs thereof to Borrowers under the terms of
this Agreement as determined by Agent.

 

A notice of the Agent to any Lender or
the Lead Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(c)         Failure
to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as
provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Agent because
the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms
hereof (subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 4.02 hereof), the Agent shall return such funds (in like funds
as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

 

    -49-

     

    

 

(d)       Obligations
of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments hereunder are several and not
joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment hereunder on any date required hereunder shall not relieve
any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any
other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment hereunder.

 

(e)       Funding
Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner
or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place
or manner.

 

2.12.       Sharing
of Payments by Lenders. If any Credit Party shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain
payment in respect of any principal of, interest on, or other amounts with respect to, any of the Obligations resulting in such
Credit Party’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Obligations greater than its pro rata
share thereof as provided herein (including as in contravention of the priorities of payment set forth in Section 8.03),
then the Credit Party receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at
face value) participations in the Obligations of the other Credit Parties, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable,
so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Credit Parties ratably and in the priorities set forth in Section
8.03, provided that:

 

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

 

(b)       the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender).

 

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

 

2.13.       Settlement
Amongst Lenders.

 

(a)       The
amount of each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of outstanding Loans, shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Agent’s
discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward based on all Loans and repayments of Loans received by the Agent as of 3:00
p.m. on the first Business Day (such date, the “Settlement Date”) following the end of the period specified
by the Agent.

 

    -50-

     

    

 

(b)       The
Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders promptly after a Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans
for the period and the amount of repayments received for the period. As reflected on the summary statement, each Lender shall transfer
to the Agent (as provided below) or the Agent shall transfer to each Lender, such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after
giving effect to all such transfers, the amount of Loans made by each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
of all Loans outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to the Agent by the
Lenders and is received prior to 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later
than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if received after 11:00 a.m., then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation
of each Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Agent. If and to
the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent, forthwith on demand
such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, equal
to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and the costs thereof to Borrowers under the terms of this Agreement as determined by
Agent.

 

2.14.       Defaulting
Lenders.

 

(a)       Adjustments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such
time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

 

(i)       Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect
to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definitions of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.01.

 

(ii)       Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting
Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting
Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to
the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Lead Borrower may request (so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed
to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent and
the Lead Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential
future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders
as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result
of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default
exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained
by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if
(x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded
its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.01 or 4.02 were satisfied
or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being
applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in
accordance with the Commitments hereunder). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that
are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender,
and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

    -51-

     

    

 

(iii)       Certain
Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.08(b) for any period during
which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have
been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

 

(b)       Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Lead Borrower and the Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent
will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set
forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable,
purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to
be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without
giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iii)(C)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no
adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that
Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties,
no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising
from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

ARTICLE
III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY;

APPOINTMENT OF LEAD BORROWER

 

3.01.       Taxes.

 

(a)       Payments
Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

 

(i)       Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or
withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion
of the Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Agent or a Loan Party, then the Agent
or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation
to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

 

    -52-

     

    

 

(ii)       If
any Loan Party or the Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any
payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined
by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B)
such Loan Party or the Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on
account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required
withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction
been made.

 

(b)       Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the
payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

(c)       Tax
Indemnifications.

 

(i)       The
Loan Parties shall, and each Loan Party does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in
respect thereof within 10 days after 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 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or
required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and 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 Lead Borrower by a Lender
(with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(ii)       Each
Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor,
(x) the Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already
indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Agent
and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions
of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable,
against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent or a Loan Party in
connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 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 any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
against any amount due to the Agent under this clause (ii).

 

    -53-

     

    

 

(d)      Evidence
of Payments. Upon request by the Lead Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Lead Borrower
or by the Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Agent
or the Agent shall deliver to the Lead Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence
of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be.

 

(e)      Status
of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

 

(i)       Any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document
shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Agent,
such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments
to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Lead
Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Lead
Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Lead Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such 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 Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A),
(ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution
or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or
commercial position of such Lender.

 

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

 

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

 

    -54-

     

    

 

		(B)	any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Lead Borrower
and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to 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 Lead Borrower or the
Agent), 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 originals of IRS Form W-8BEN 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 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 originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

		(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 F-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 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form
W-8BEN; or

 

		(4)	to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY,
accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2
or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/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
F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

    -55-

     

    

 

		(C)	any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Lead Borrower
and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to 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 Lead Borrower or the
Agent), executed originals 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 Lead Borrower or the Agent 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 Lead Borrower and the Agent
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Agent 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 Lead Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Lead Borrower and the Agent to comply with their
obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount 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.

 

		(E)	Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or
becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Lead Borrower
and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

    -56-

     

    

 

(f)       Treatment
of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise
pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds
paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient 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 by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional
amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent
of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes
giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Party,
upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other
charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund
to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient
be required to pay any amount to the Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a
less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient 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 with
respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its
tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

 

(g)       Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any
assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all other Obligations.

 

3.02.       [Reserved].

 

3.03.       [Reserved].

 

3.04.       Increased
Costs.

 

(a)       Increased
Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

 

(i)        impose,
modify or deem applicable 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, any Lender;

 

(ii)       subject
any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition
of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations,
or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

 

(iii)      impose
on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing
shall be to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any
other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Loan Parties will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender for such reduction suffered.

 

    -57-

     

    

 

(b)       Capital
Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or
such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital or liquidity of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or
such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s
policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the
Loan Parties will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding
company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)       Certificates
for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Lead Borrower shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. The Loan Parties shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
10 days after receipt thereof.

 

(d)       Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Loan Parties
shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred
or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Lead Borrower of the Change in Law
giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

3.05.       Compensation
for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate
such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of any failure by the
Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, or borrow any Loan on the date or in
the amount notified by the Lead Borrower, including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation
or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds
were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

 

3.06.       Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

 

(a)       Designation
of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrowers are required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different
Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice
pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

    -58-

     

    

 

(b)       Replacement
of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case,
such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Borrowers
may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

 

3.07.       Survival.
All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments,
repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Agent.

 

3.08.       Designation
of Lead Borrower as Borrowers’ Agent.

 

(a)       Each
Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Borrower’s agent to obtain Credit Extensions,
the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement. As the disclosed
principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to each Credit Party on account of Credit Extensions so made as if made
directly by the applicable Credit Party to such Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Credit Extensions are recorded
on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and of any other Borrower. In addition, each Loan Party other than the Borrowers
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Loan Party’s agent to represent such Loan Party in all
respects under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)       Each
Borrower recognizes that credit available to it hereunder is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on
and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all
other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to discharge all Obligations of each of the other Borrowers.

 

(c)       The
Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a “Borrower”) on whose behalf the Lead
Borrower has requested a Credit Extension. Neither the Agent nor any other Credit Party shall have any obligation to see to the
application of such proceeds therefrom.

and other authorizations that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, to the best knowledge

and enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Property described therein and proceeds and products thereof, and when the Mortgages are
filed in the county in which such Mortgaged Property is located, each Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and
security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Property described therein and the proceeds
and products thereof, as security for the Secured Obligations (as defined in the relevant
Mortgage), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (other than Persons holding Liens or other encumbrances

Loan Parties hereunder (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Debt Domain,
IntraLinks, Syndtrak or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders
may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with
respect to the Loan Parties or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Loan Parties hereby agree that
they will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the
Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at
a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower

    -79-

     

    

 

6.07.       Maintenance
of Insurance. Maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies reasonably acceptable to the Agent (it being
acknowledged that the carriers proving coverage as of the Closing Date are deemed by Agent to be acceptable), insurance with respect
to its properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same
or similar business and operating in the same or similar locations or as is required by Law, of such types and in such amounts
as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons and as are reasonably acceptable to the Agent.

(b)       Cause
all property insurance policies maintained with respect to any Collateral to be endorsed in favor of Agent and to include a lenders’

co-insurer and (iii) such other provisions as the Agent may reasonably require from time to time to protect the interests of the
Credit Parties.

 

(e)       Cause
each such policy referred to in this Section 6.07 to also provide that it shall not be canceled (i) by reason of nonpayment
of premium except upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Agent (giving the
Agent the right to cure defaults in the payment of premiums) or (ii) for any other reason except upon not less than thirty (30)
days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Agent; provided that the Loan Parties shall also promptly deliver
to the Agent any notice of cancellation, modification or non-renewal of any such policy of insurance received by any Loan Party

None of the Credit Parties, or their agents
or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Section
6.07. Each Loan Party shall look solely to its insurance companies or any other parties other than the Credit Parties for the
recovery of such loss or damage and such insurance companies shall have no rights of subrogation against any Credit Party or its
agents or employees. If, however, the insurance policies do not provide waiver of subrogation rights against such parties, as required
above, then the Loan Parties hereby agree, to the extent permitted by law, to waive their right of recovery, if any, against the
Credit Parties and their agents and employees. The designation of any form, type or amount of insurance coverage by any Credit
Party under this Section 6.07 shall in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or advice by such Credit Party that
such insurance is adequate for the purposes of the business of the Loan Parties or the protection of their properties.

 

6.08.       Compliance
with Laws. Comply in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees
applicable to it or to its business or property, except in such instances in which (a) such requirement of Law or order, writ,
injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which
adequate reserves have been set aside and maintained by the Loan Parties in accordance with GAAP; (b) such contest effectively
suspends enforcement of the contested Laws, and (c) the failure to comply therewith could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

 

6.09.       Books
and Records; Accountants.

 

(a)       Maintain
proper books of record and account, in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with GAAP consistently applied shall
be made of all financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary, as
the case may be; and (ii) maintain such books of record and account in material conformity with all applicable requirements of
any Governmental Authority having regulatory jurisdiction over the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

 

(b)       at
all times retain a Registered Public Accounting Firm which is reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and instruct such Registered
Public Accounting Firm to cooperate with, and be available to, the Agent or its representatives to discuss the Loan Parties’
financial performance, financial condition, operating results, controls, and such other matters, within the scope of the retention
of such Registered Public Accounting Firm, as may be raised by the Agent.

Rights.

 

(a)       Permit
representatives and independent contractors of the Agent to visit and inspect any of its properties, to examine its corporate,
financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts
with its directors, officers, and Registered Public Accounting Firm, all at the expense of the Loan Parties and at such reasonable
times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the Lead Borrower;
provided, however, that when a Default or an Event of Default exists the Agent (or any of its representatives or
independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Loan Parties at any time during normal business hours
and without advance notice.

 

(b)       Upon
the request of the Agent after reasonable prior notice, permit the Agent or professionals (including investment bankers, consultants,
accountants, and lawyers) retained by the Agent to conduct commercial finance examinations and other evaluations of the Loan Parties,
including, without limitation, of the Loan Parties’ business plan, forecasts and cash flows. The Loan Parties shall pay the
fees and expenses of the Agent and such professionals with respect to such examinations and evaluations (including, without limitation,
customary per diem charges for auditors and field examiners), subject to the cap set forth in the definition of “Credit Party
Expenses”.

 

(c)       Upon
the request of the Agent after reasonable prior notice, permit the Agent or professionals (including appraisers) retained by the
Agent to conduct appraisals of the Collateral and of the operating plant facilities and machinery and equipment. The Loan Parties
shall pay the fees and expenses of the Agent and such professionals with respect to such appraisals, subject to the cap set forth
in the definition of “Credit Party Expenses”. Without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Parties acknowledge that the
Agent may, in its discretion, undertake up to three (3) appraisals of the operating plant facilities and machinery and equipment
in each twelve month period at the Loan Parties’ expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may cause additional appraisals
to be undertaken (i) as it in its discretion deems necessary or appropriate, at the Credit Parties’ expense or, (ii) if required
by Law or if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at the expense of the Loan Parties.

 

6.11.       Additional
Loan Parties. Notify the Agent at the time that any Person becomes a Subsidiary or a Loan Party (as defined in the ABL Credit
Agreement), and promptly thereafter (and in any event within fifteen (15) days), cause any such Person (a) which is not a CFC
to (i) become a Loan Party by executing and delivering to the Agent a Joinder to this Agreement or a joinder to the Security Agreement
or such other documents as the Agent shall deem appropriate for such purpose, (ii) grant a Lien to the Agent on such Person’s
assets of the same type that constitute Collateral to secure the Obligations, and (iii) deliver to the Agent documents of the
types referred to in clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 4.01(a) and favorable opinions of counsel to such Person (which
shall cover, among other things, the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the documentation referred to in
clause (a)), and (b) if any Equity Interests or Indebtedness of such Person are owned by or on behalf of any Loan Party, to pledge
such Equity Interests and promissory notes evidencing such Indebtedness (except that, if such Subsidiary is a CFC, the Equity
Interests of such Subsidiary to be pledged may be limited to 65% of the outstanding voting Equity Interests of such Subsidiary
and 100% of the non-voting Equity Interests of such Subsidiary, in each case in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory
to the Agent. In no event shall compliance with this Section 6.11 waive or be deemed a waiver or Consent to any transaction
giving rise to the need to comply with this Section 6.11 if such transaction was not otherwise expressly permitted by this
Agreement or constitute or be deemed to constitute, with respect to any Subsidiary, an approval of such Person as a Borrower or
Guarantor hereunder.

6.12.       [Reserved].

 

6.13.       Information

chief executive office, its principal place of business, any office in which it maintains books or records relating to Collateral
owned by it or any office or facility at which Collateral owned by it is located (including the establishment of any such new office
or facility); (iii) any Loan Party’s organizational structure or jurisdiction of incorporation or formation; or (iv) any
Loan Party’s Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number assigned to it by its state of

been made under the UCC or otherwise that are required in order for the Agent to continue at all times following such change to
have a valid, legal and perfected first priority security interest in all the Collateral for its own benefit and the benefit of
the other Credit Parties.

 

(b)       Should
any of the information on any of the Schedules hereto become inaccurate or misleading in any material respect as a result of changes
after the Closing Date, advise the Agent in writing of such revisions or updates as may be necessary or appropriate to update or
correct the same. From time to time as may be reasonably requested by the Agent, the Lead Borrower shall supplement each Schedule
hereto, or any representation herein or in any other Loan Document, with respect to any matter arising after the Closing Date that,
if existing or occurring on the Closing Date, would have been required to be set forth or described in such Schedule or as an exception
to such representation or that is necessary to correct any information in such Schedule or representation which has been rendered
inaccurate thereby (and, in the case of any supplements to any Schedule, such Schedule shall be appropriately marked to show the
changes made therein). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no supplement or revision to any Schedule or representation shall be deemed
the Credit Parties’ consent to the matters reflected in such updated Schedules or revised representations nor permit the
Loan Parties to undertake any actions otherwise prohibited hereunder or fail to undertake any action required hereunder from the
restrictions and requirements in existence prior to the delivery of such updated Schedules or such revision of a representation;
nor shall any such supplement or revision to any Schedule or representation be deemed the Credit Parties’ waiver of any Default
or Event of Default resulting from the matters disclosed therein.

been set aside and are being maintained by the Loan Parties with respect to such circumstances in accordance with GAAP.

Assurances.

intended to be created by the Security Documents or the validity or priority of any such Lien (including in connection with the
funding of any Delayed Draw Term Loan), all at the expense of the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties also agree to provide to the Agent,
from time to time upon request, evidence satisfactory to the Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended
to be created by the Security Documents.

 

(b)       If
any material assets are acquired by any Loan Party after the Closing Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the

shall compliance with this Section 6.16(b) waive or be deemed a waiver or Consent to any transaction giving rise to the
need to comply with this Section 6.16(b) if such transaction was not otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement.

 

(c)       Upon
the request of the Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of its customs brokers, freight forwarders, consolidators
and/or carriers to deliver an agreement (including, without limitation, a Customs Broker/Carrier Agreement) to the Agent covering
such matters and in such form as the Agent may reasonably require.

ARTICLE
IX

THE AGENT

 

9.01.       Appointment
and Authority.

 

Each of the Lenders
(in its capacity as a Lender) hereby irrevocably appoints Encina Business Credit, LLC to act on its behalf as the administrative
agent and collateral agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf
and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof (including, without limitation, acquiring,
holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations), together
with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of
the Agent and the other Credit Parties, and no Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third party beneficiary
of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan
Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or
express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom,
and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

 

    -94-

     

    

 

9.02.       Rights
as a Lender. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”
shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent
hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial
advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary
or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

9.03.       Exculpatory
Provisions. The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

 

(a)       shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing;

 

(b)       shall
not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
Applicable Lenders; provided, that, the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the
opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Law, including for the avoidance
of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture,
modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

 

(c)       shall
not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for
the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained
by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

The Agent shall not be liable for any action
taken or not taken by it (i) with the Consent or at the request of the Applicable Lenders (as the Agent shall believe in good faith
shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge
of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Agent by
the Loan Parties or a Lender. In the event that the Agent obtains such actual knowledge or receives such a notice, the Agent shall
give prompt notice thereof to each of the other Credit Parties. Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, the Agent
shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Applicable Lenders.
Unless and until the Agent shall have received such direction, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action,
or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best
interest of the Credit Parties. In no event shall the Agent be required to comply with any such directions to the extent that the
Agent believes that its compliance with such directions would be unlawful.

 

    -95-

     

    

 

The Agent shall not be responsible for
or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder
or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms
or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability,
effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation,
perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral,
or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of
items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

 

9.04.       Reliance
by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice,
request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including, but not limited to, any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent
or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone
and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender,
the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received written notice to
the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for
any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

9.05.       Delegation
of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other
Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any
and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions
of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply
to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities
as the Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that
a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence
or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

 

    -96-

     

    

 

9.06.       Resignation
of Agent. The Agent may at any time give written notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Lead Borrower. Upon receipt
of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, to appoint
a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the
United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided, that, if the Agent shall notify
the Lead Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless
become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders
under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent
shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided
for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed
to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Lead Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s
resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue
in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent hereunder.

 

9.07.       Non-Reliance
on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any
other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it
shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon
this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except as
provided in Section 9.12, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Credit Party with any other
credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party that may come into the possession
of the Agent.

 

9.08.       No
Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no bookrunner, arranger, syndication agent or documentation
agent as may be listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any

and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lead Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent
assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee
Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

 

    -107-

     

    

 

		(C)	Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate
part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans (including any Delayed
Draw Term Loan) or the Commitment (including the Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment) assigned;

 

		(D)	Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent
required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

 

		(1)	the consent of the Lead Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall
be required unless (1) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such
assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

 

		(2)	the consent of the Agent shall be required for assignments in respect of any Commitment if such
assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; provided
that the Agent’s refusal to accept a sale to a holder of obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement or an Affiliate of such
a holder, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations on voting) upon sales to such Persons, shall not
be deemed to be unreasonable; and

 

		(E)	Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the
Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided, however,
that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, and shall, in connection with any Assignment and Assumption to which Crowd Out Capital
is a party, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it shall not be
a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 

		(F)	No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Loan Parties
or any of the Loan Parties’ Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any Person
who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a
natural Person.

 

    -108-

     

    

 

		(G)	Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations
of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions
thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount
sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations
or sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Lead Borrower and the Agent, the
applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable
assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting
Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any
assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance
with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes
of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof
by the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption,
the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to
the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and,
in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04,
3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment;
provided, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting
Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a promissory note to the assignee Lender. Any
assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall
be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance
with Section 10.06(d).

 

    -109-

     

    

 

(c)       Register.
The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain
at the Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form)
and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and
stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Agent and the Lenders may 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Lead Borrower and any
Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)       Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, with notice to and the consent of the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or the Loan Parties or any of the Loan Parties’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and/or the Loans owing to it); provided, that, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (iii) the Loan Parties, the Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any Participant shall agree in writing to comply with all confidentiality
obligations set forth in Section 10.07 as if such Participant was a Lender hereunder.

 

(e)       Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole
right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided,
that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the first proviso to Section 10.01
that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (g) of this Section, the Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had
acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject
to Section 2.02 as though it were a Lender.

 

(f)       Each
Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, 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 the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided,
that, no Lender shall have any 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 any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its
other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that
such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States
Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have
no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

 

    -110-

     

    

 

(g)       Limitations
upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless
the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Lead Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would
be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Lead Borrower
is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Loan Parties, to
comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

 

(h)       Certain
Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including under its promissory note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from
any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

10.07.     Treatment
of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, Approved Funds, and to its and its Affiliates’
and Approved Funds’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, funding sources, attorneys, advisors and
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature
of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by Laws or regulations
or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement (including any electronic agreement contained in
any Platform) containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in,
or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Contract relating to any Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent
of the Lead Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from
a source other than the Loan Parties.

 

For purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof
or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Credit Party on a non-confidential basis
prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof; provided, that, in the case of information received
from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered
to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality
of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

    -111-

     

    

 

Each of the Credit Parties acknowledges
that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Loan Parties or a Subsidiary, as the case may
be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such
material non-public information in accordance with Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

 

10.08.       Right
of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if any Lender shall have been served with a trustee
process or similar attachment relating to property of a Loan Party, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Agent or the Required Lenders,
to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final, in whatever currency) or other property at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing
by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any
and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, regardless
of the adequacy of the Collateral, and irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or
are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness;
provided, that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts
so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.14 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust
for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing
in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights
of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Lead Borrower and
the Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided, that, the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

10.09.       Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be
paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If the Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest
shall be applied to the principal of the Loans and other Obligations (other than Other Liabilities not then due and owing) or,
if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or
received by the Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Law, (a) characterize
any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout
the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

    -112-

     

    

 

10.10.       Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in 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. Except as provided
in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery
of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, pdf or other electronic transmission shall be as
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

10.11.       Survival.
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or
thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations
and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Credit Parties, regardless of any investigation made by any Credit Party
or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default
at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder
shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. Further, the provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04
and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Obligations or the
termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. In connection with the termination
of this Agreement and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral, the Agent may require such indemnities
and collateral security as it shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Credit Parties against (x) loss on
account of credits previously applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked, (y) any obligations that
may thereafter arise with respect to the Other Liabilities, and (z) any Obligations that may thereafter arise under Section
10.04 hereof.

 

10.12.       Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the
enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined
in good faith by the Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

 

    -113-

     

    

 

10.13.     Replacement
of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender
is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such
Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to
payments pursuant to Section 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents
to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided, that,:

 

(a)       the
Borrowers shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

 

(b)       such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued
fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05)
from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of
all other amounts);

 

(c)       in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

 

(d)       such
assignment does not conflict with Laws; and

 

(e)       in
the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented
to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

 

A Lender shall not be required to make
any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling
the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

10.14.     Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

 

(a)       GOVERNING
LAW. 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 governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the law of the State of Illinois.

 

    -114-

     

    

 

(b)       SUBMISSION
TO JURISDICTION. EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or
proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Agent,
any Lender or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions
relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS LOCATED IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND OF THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES
HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY
SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH ILLINOIS STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED

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 IN ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY CREDIT PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE
COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

 

(c)       WAIVER
OF VENUE. EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT
IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE LOAN 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)       SERVICE
OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR WITH RESPECT TO NOTICES
IN SECTION 10.02. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PERMITTED BY LAW.

 

10.15.     Waiver
of Jury Trial . EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY 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 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 PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON 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.

 

    -115-

     

    

 

10.16.       No
Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Loan Parties
each acknowledge and agree that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in
connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document)
are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other
hand, and each of the Loan Parties is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and
conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification
hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each Credit Party is and has been acting
solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates,
stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) none of the Credit Parties has assumed or will assume an advisory,
agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Loan Parties with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or
the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan
Document (irrespective of whether any of the Credit Parties has advised or is currently advising any Loan Party or any of its
Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Credit Parties has any obligation to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents;
(iv) the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests
that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Credit Parties has any obligation
to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Credit Parties have
not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated
hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each of the Loan Parties
has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Loan
Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against each of the Credit
Parties with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

 

10.17.       USA
PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf
of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L.
107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that
will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act. Each Loan Party is
in compliance, in all material respects, with the Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Loan Parties,
directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party,
candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or
obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended. The Loan Parties
shall, promptly following a request by the Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Agent
or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and
anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

 

    -116-

     

    

 

10.18.       Foreign
Asset Control Regulations. Neither of the advance of the Loans nor the use of the proceeds of any thereof will violate the
Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., as amended) (the “Trading With the Enemy Act”) or any
of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended)
(the “Foreign Assets Control Regulations”) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto (which
for the avoidance of doubt shall include, but shall not be limited to (a) Executive Order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking
Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001))
(the “Executive Order”) and (b) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept
and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56)). Furthermore, none of the Borrowers or their Affiliates (a) is or will
become a “blocked person” as described in the Executive Order, the Trading With the Enemy Act or the Foreign Assets
Control Regulations or (b) engages or will engage in any dealings or transactions, or be otherwise associated, with any such “blocked
person” or in any manner violative of any such order.

 

10.19.       Time
of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

 

10.20.       Press
Releases. Each Loan Party consents to the publication by the Agent or any Lender of advertising material relating to the financing
transactions contemplated by this Agreement using any Loan Party’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark. The Agent
or such Lender shall provide a draft reasonably in advance of any advertising material to the Lead Borrower prior to the publication
thereof. The Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion
in league table measurements.

 

10.21.       Additional
Waivers.

 

  (a)       The
Obligations are the joint and several obligation of each Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the obligations of
each Loan Party shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or
exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise,
(ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral
or other security held by or on behalf of the Agent or any other Credit Party, or (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or
otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to
any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party as a matter of law
or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations after the termination of the Commitments).
The obligations of each Loan Party shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason
(other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations after the termination of the Commitments), including any
claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense
or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any
of the Obligations or otherwise.

 

    -117-

     

    

 

(b)       To
the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan
Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability
of any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the termination of the
Commitments. The Agent and the other Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them
by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or
adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy
available to them against any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder
except to the extent that all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments have been terminated.
Each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to Law, to impair
or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party.

 

(c)       Upon
payment by any Loan Party of any Obligations, all rights of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof
by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior
in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.
In addition, any indebtedness of any Loan Party now or hereafter held by any other Loan Party is hereby subordinated in right of
payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and no Loan Party will demand, sue for or otherwise attempt
to collect any such indebtedness. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Loan Party on account of (i) such subrogation,
contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be held
in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to be credited against the payment of the
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Subject
to the foregoing, to the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the
Obligations constituting Loans made to another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other
Borrower (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled
to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other
Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s Allocable
Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination,
the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation
Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower “insolvent”
within the meaning of Section 101 (32) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”)
or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably
small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA,
or (c) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy
Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA.

 

    -118-

     

    

 

10.22.       No
Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the
event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by
the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship
of any provisions of this Agreement.

 

10.23.       Attachments.
The exhibits, schedules and annexes attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein and shall be considered a part of this
Agreement for the purposes stated herein, except that in the event of any conflict between any of the provisions of such exhibits
and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

 

10.24.       Electronic
Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof
(including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms
and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which
shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping
system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws
based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

 

10.25.       ENTIRE
AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED
BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG
THE PARTIES.

 

10.26.       Keepwell.
Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Security Agreement or the grant of a security interest under
the Loan Documents, in each case, by any Specified Loan Party becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly
and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified
Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of
its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount
of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings
under the Security Agreement voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for
any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full
force and effect until Payment in Full of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Loan Party intends
this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell,
support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

 

    -119-

     

    

 

10.27.       Acknowledgement
and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in
any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of
any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the
write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be
bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising
hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution, and (b) the effects of any Bail-in
Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability,
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial
Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such
shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise
of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

 

10.28.       Intercreditor
Agreement.  EACH LENDER HEREUNDER (I) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED A COPY OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, (II) CONSENTS
TO THE SUBORDINATION OF LIENS PROVIDED FOR IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, (III) AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY AND WILL TAKE
NO ACTIONS CONTRARY TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND (IV) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE AGENT TO ENTER INTO
THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY AMENDMENTS THERETO REQUIRED BY THE TERMS THEREOF AS AGENT AND ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER. THE
FOREGOING PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE LENDERS AND THE ABL LENDERS TO EXTEND CREDIT TO THE BORROWERS AND SUCH
LENDERS ARE INTENDED THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF SUCH PROVISIONS. TO THE EXTENT OF ANY CONFLICT OR INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN THE
TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN.

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

 

2.01.          Revolving
Loans; Reserves.     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender with a Commitment
severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time, on any Business
Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the lesser of (x) the amount
of such Lender’s Commitment, or (y) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Borrowing Base; subject in each case
to the following limitations:

 

(a)          after
giving effect to any Revolving Borrowing, the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Loan Cap, and

 

(b)          after
giving effect to any Revolving Borrowing, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment.

 

Within
the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under
this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.01.

 

    -47-

     

    

 

2.02.        Borrowings
of Loans.

 

(a)          All
Revolving Loans shall be LIBOR Rate Loans subject to and in accordance with this Section 2.02.

 

(b)          Each
Revolving Borrowing shall be made upon the Lead Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Agent, which may be given by telephone.
Each such notice must be received by the Agent not later than noon one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing.
Each telephonic notice by the Lead Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the
Agent of a written Notice of Borrowing, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower. Each
Borrowing shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Notice of Borrowing
(whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) the name of the applicable Borrower, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing
(which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans borrowed and (v) whether such Borrowing will be a Base Rate
Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing.

 

(c)          Following
receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the
applicable Revolving Loan. In the case of a Revolving Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Revolving Loan available
to the Agent in immediately available funds at the Agent’s Office not later than noon on the Business Day specified in the
applicable Notice of Borrowing. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing
is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrowers in like funds
as received by the Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Lead Borrower on the books of Encina with the amount of such
funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable
to) the Agent by the Lead Borrower.

 

(d)          The
Agent, without the request of the Lead Borrower, may advance any interest, fee, service charge (including direct wire fees), expenses,
or other payment to which any Credit Party is at such time entitled from the Loan Parties pursuant hereto or any other Loan Document
and may charge the same to the Loan Account notwithstanding that an Overadvance may result thereby. The Agent shall advise the
Lead Borrower of any such advance or charge promptly after the making thereof. Such action on the part of the Agent shall not constitute
a waiver of the Agent’s rights and the Borrowers’ obligations under Section 10.04. Any amount which is added
to the principal balance of the Loan Account as provided in this Section 2.02(d) shall bear interest at the interest rate
then and thereafter applicable to Base Rate Loans.

 

(e)          At
any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Reference
Bank’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

 

     -48-

     

    

 

(f)           The
Agent, the Lenders and the Swing Line Lender shall have no obligation to make any Loan if an Overadvance would result. The
Agent may, in its discretion, make Permitted Overadvances without the consent of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Swing Line
Lender and the Borrowers and each Lender shall be bound thereby. Any Permitted Overadvance may, but shall not be required to,
constitute a Swing Line Loan. A Permitted Overadvance is for the account of the Borrowers and shall constitute a Revolving
Borrowing and an Obligation and shall be repaid by the Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.06.
The making of any such Permitted Overadvance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Agent or any Lender to make or permit
any Permitted Overadvance on any other occasion or to permit such Permitted Overadvances to remain outstanding. The making by
the Agent of a Permitted Overadvance shall not modify or abrogate any of the provisions of Section 2.03 regarding the
Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with respect to Swing Line Loans. The Agent shall have no liability
for, and no Loan Party or Credit Party shall have the right to, or shall, bring any claim of any kind whatsoever against the
Agent with respect to Unintentional Overadvances regardless of the amount of any such Overadvance(s).

 

2.03.         Swing
Line Loans.

 

(a)           The
Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender may, in its sole discretion, in reliance
upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing
Line Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount
not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans,
when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans of the Lender acting as Swing Line
Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any
Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Loan Cap, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount
of the Revolving Loans of any Lender at such time, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount
of all Swing Line Loans at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and provided, further, that
the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan, and provided further
that the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall
be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Credit Extension may have, Fronting Exposure). Within
the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.03,
prepay under Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.03. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest only at
the LIBOR Rate. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage multiplied by the amount of such Swing Line Loan. The Swing Line Lender shall
have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions
suffered by the Swing Line Lender in connection with Swing Line Loans made by it or proposed to be made by it as if the term “Agent”
as used in Article IX included the Swing Line Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided
herein with respect to the Swing Line Lender.

 

     -49-

     

    

 

(b)          Borrowing
Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Lead Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line
Lender and the Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall
be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice
must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice,
appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line
Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in
writing) that the Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the
Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or
in writing) from the Agent at the request of the Required Lenders prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line
Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in
the provisos to the first sentence of Section 2.03(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified
in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender may, not
later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan
available to the Borrowers either by (i) crediting the account of the Lead Borrower on the books of Encina with the amount of
such funds or (ii) wire transferring such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably
acceptable to) the Swing Line Lender by the Lead Borrower.

 

(c)       
   Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

 

(i)           In
addition to settlements required under Section 2.13 hereof, the Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion
may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorize the Swing Line Lender to so request on their behalf),
that each Lender make a LIBOR Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans
then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing for
purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified
therein for the principal amount of LIBOR Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Loan Cap and the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Lead Borrower with a copy of the applicable Notice of
Borrowing promptly after delivering such notice to the Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage
of the amount specified in such Notice of Borrowing available to the Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the
Swing Line Lender at the Agent’s Office not later than 11:00 a.m. on the day specified in such Notice of Borrowing, whereupon,
subject to Section 2.03(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a LIBOR Rate Loan
to the Borrowers in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

 

(ii)          If
for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(i),
the request for LIBOR Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the
Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s
payment to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in
respect of such participation.

 

     -50-

     

    

 

(iii)      If
any Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such
Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(i),
the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest
thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the
Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal the costs thereof to Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, as determined
by Agent. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s
Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case
may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under
this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(iv)      Each
Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.03(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrowers or any
other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (C) any other
occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s
obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section
4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing
Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(d)        
  Repayment of Participations.

 

(i)   
    At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if
the Swing Line Lender, or the Agent on behalf of the Swing Line Lender, receives any payment on account of such Swing Line
Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute such payment to the Agent and the Agent shall distribute to each such Lender its
Applicable Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of
time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line
Lender.

 

(ii)          If
any payment received by the Swing Line Lender, or the Agent on behalf of the Swing Line Lender, in respect of principal or interest
on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section
10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay
to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such
demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Agent will make such demand
upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of
the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

     -51-

     

    

 

(e)          Interest
for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrowers for interest on
the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its LIBOR Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.03
to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable
Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

 

(f)          Payments
Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line
Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

 

2.04.        Mandatory
Prepayments.

 

(a)          Unintentional
Overadvance. The Borrowers shall within one Business Day prepay Revolving Loans to the extent necessary so that the Total Revolving
Outstandings of the Lenders shall not at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect. Upon the request of the Required
Lenders, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day prepay Revolving Loans to the extent necessary so that the Total Revolving
Outstandings of the Lenders shall not at any time exceed the Loan Cap then in effect.

 

(b)          Prepayment
Events. Upon the occurrence of any Prepayment Event, (i) Lead Borrower shall promptly notify Agent of such proposed Prepayment
Event (in the case of a Disposition) (including the amount of the estimated Net Proceeds to be received by a Loan Party and/or
such Subsidiary in respect thereof) and (ii) promptly upon receipt by a Loan Party and/or such Subsidiary of the Net Proceeds of
such Prepayment Event, Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such Net Proceeds to Agent for distribution to the Lenders
as a prepayment of the Loans, which prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.04(c) hereof; provided,
that, in the case of a Disposition, any Net Proceeds received by a Loan Party upon the Disposition of assets in excess of the
most recent appraised value of such assets shall not be required to be delivered to Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(b);
and provided, further, that in the case of a Disposition permitted under clause (f) or (h) of the definition of “Permitted
Disposition”, such prepayment shall not be required. Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, in the case of a prepayment resulting from a Prepayment Event as described in clause (a) or (b)
of the definition thereof, such prepayment shall not be required to the extent a Loan Party or such Subsidiary reinvests the Net
Proceeds of any Prepayment Event in productive assets (other than Inventory (except to the extent Inventory was subject to a Prepayment
Event as described in clause (b) of the definition thereof)) of a kind then used or usable in the business of any Borrower
or such Subsidiary, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such Prepayment Event, or enters into a binding commitment
thereof within said one hundred eighty (180) day period and subsequently makes such reinvestment within an additional one hundred
eighty (180) days thereafter; provided that Lead Borrower notifies Agent of such Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s intent
to reinvest and of the completion of such reinvestment at the time such proceeds are received and when such reinvestment occurs,
respectively.

 

(c)          Any
prepayments pursuant to Section 2.04(b) shall be applied first to prepay outstanding Swing Line Loans and second to prepay
outstanding Revolving Loans without permanent reduction of the Aggregate Commitment.

 

     -52-

     

    

 

2.05.        Termination
of Commitments.

 

(a)          The
Borrowers may, upon irrevocable notice from the Lead Borrower to the Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments (subject to Section
2.08(c)); provided, that, (i) any such notice shall be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business
Days prior to the date of termination, and (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect
thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments.

 

(b)          The
Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments under this Section 2.05.

 

2.06.        Repayment
and Amortization of Obligations. Except as provided in Section 10.11 with respect to the collateralization of the Other
Liabilities, the Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Termination Date all Obligations with respect to Revolving Loans outstanding
on such date (other than contingent indemnification claims for which a claim has not been asserted).

 

2.07.        Interest.

 

(a)          Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.07(b) below, (i) each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans; and (ii) each Base
Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans.

 

(b)           (i)         If any
amount payable under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at
all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

 

(ii)          If
any other Event of Default exists, then the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, notify the Lead Borrower
that all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest retroactively from the date such Default arose at a fluctuating interest rate
per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate and such Obligations shall bear interest retroactively from the date such Default
arose at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

 

(iii)         Accrued
and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

 

(c)          Except
as provided in Section 2.07(b)(iii), interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date applicable thereto (commencing with the first Business Day of the first month following the Closing Date) and at such other
times as may be specified herein, including upon termination or expiration of the Commitments, and will be charged to the loan
accounts of Borrowers by Agent in the ordinary course. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms
hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

 

     -53-

     

    

  

2.08. 
      Fees.

 

 (a)         Commitment
Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage with
respect to Commitments, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Commitment Fee Percentage multiplied
by the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitment exceed the Total Revolving Outstandings with respect to Revolving
Loans (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.14) during the immediately preceding quarter. The Commitment Fee
shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in
Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month,
commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period.

 

(b)          [Reserved].

 

(c)          Early
Termination Fee. In the event that (i) the Termination Date occurs, for any reason, prior to the Maturity Date or (ii)
the Borrowers reduce (but do not terminate) the Aggregate Commitments prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall pay to
the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a fee (the “Early Termination Fee”) equal to the following:
(x) two percent (2%) of (I) in the event the Termination Date occurs, the Commitments then in effect (without regard to any
termination thereof) or (II) in the event that the Borrowers reduce the Aggregate Commitments, the amount of such reduction,
if the Termination Date, payment or reduction shall occur at any time on or before the first anniversary of the Closing Date;
(y) one percent (1%) of (I) in the event the Termination Date occurs, the Commitments then in effect (without regard to any
termination thereof) or (II) in the event that the Borrowers reduce the Aggregate Commitments, the amount of such reduction,
if the Termination Date or reduction shall occur at any time on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, but prior
to the second anniversary of the Closing Date; and (z) one-half of one percent (0.50%) of (I) in the event the Termination
Date occurs, the Commitments then in effect (without regard to any termination thereof) or (II) in the event that the
Borrowers reduce the Aggregate Commitments, the amount of such reduction, if the Termination Date shall occur at any time on
or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date. All parties to
this Agreement agree and acknowledge that the Lenders will have suffered damages on account of the early termination of this
Agreement or any portion of the Commitments and that, in view of the difficulty in ascertaining the amount of such damages,
the Early Termination Fee constitutes reasonable compensation and liquidated damages to compensate the Lenders on account
thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the period beginning six months prior to the Maturity Date and ending on the
Maturity Date, no Early Termination Fee shall be due if the Lead Borrower provides prior written notice to Agent at least
ninety (90) days prior to the applicable Termination Date.

 

(d)          Other
Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified
in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

 

     -54-

     

    

 

2.09.        Computation
of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Reference
Bank’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual
days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.
Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof,
for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that for purposes of calculating interest, all principal
payments made by or on account of the Borrowers shall be deemed to have been applied to the Loans two (2) Business Day(s) after
receipt; for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating the amount of Revolving Loans which may be made available under
Section 2.01, all principal payments made by or on account of the Borrowers shall be deemed to have been applied on the date of
receipt. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.

 

2.10.        Evidence
of Debt.

 

(a)          The
Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Agent (the “Loan
Account”) in the ordinary course of business. In addition, each Lender may record in such Lender’s internal records,
an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each Loan from such Lender, each payment and prepayment of principal
of any such Loan, and each payment of interest, fees and other amounts due in connection with the Obligations due to such Lender.
The accounts or records maintained by the Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the
Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error
in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with
respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts
and records of the Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest
error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the
Agent) a promissory note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to
such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its promissory note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable),
amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. Upon receipt of an affidavit of a Lender as to the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of such Lender’s promissory note and upon cancellation of such promissory note, the Borrowers will
issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement promissory note in favor of such Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise
of like tenor.

 

(b)          In
addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.10(a), each Lender and the Agent shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Swing Line Loans.
In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender
in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

 

     -55-

     

    

 

2.11.        Payments
Generally; Agent’s Clawback.

 

(a)       
  General. All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any
counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers
hereunder shall be made to the Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the
Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The
Agent will, subject to Section 2.13 hereof, promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other
applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s
Lending Office. All payments received by the Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall, at the option of the Agent, be deemed received on
the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by
the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day
(other than with respect to payment of a LIBOR Loan), and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or
fees, as the case may be.

 

(b)         (i)         Funding
by Lenders; Presumption by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to (A) the proposed date
of any Borrowing, or (B) the date that such Lender’s participation in a Swing Line Loan is required to be funded, that such
Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing or participation, the Agent may assume
that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 or Section 2.04, as applicable,
and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, a corresponding
amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing or participation available to the
Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available
to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender,
the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and the costs thereof to Borrowers under the terms of this Agreement as determined by Agent,
and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrowers
and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to the
Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing
or participation to the Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing or
participation in such Swing Line Loan. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have
against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agent.

 

(ii)       Payments
by Borrowers; Presumptions by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the time at
which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of any of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment,
the Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then
each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately
available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding
the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and the costs thereof to Borrowers under the terms of
this Agreement as determined by Agent.

 

     -56-

     

    

 

A notice of the Agent to any Lender or
the Lead Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(c)          Failure
to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as
provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Agent
because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance
with the terms hereof (subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 4.02 hereof), the Agent shall return such
funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

 

(d)          Obligations
of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Swing Line Loans and
to make payments hereunder are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation
or to make any payment hereunder on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation
to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase
its participation or to make its payment hereunder.

 

(e)          Funding
Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner
or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place
or manner.

 

2.12.     
  Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

 

If any Credit Party
shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, interest
on, or other amounts with respect to, any of the Obligations resulting in such Credit Party’s receiving payment of a proportion
of the aggregate amount of such Obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein (including as in
contravention of the priorities of payment set forth in Section 8.03), then the Credit Party receiving such greater proportion
shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Obligations of the other
Credit Parties, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared
by the Credit Parties ratably and in the priorities set forth in Section 8.03, provided that:

 

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

 

     -57-

     

    

 

(b)          the
provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance
with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender)
or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or
subparticipations in Swing Line Loans to any Eligible Assignee or Participant, other than to the Borrowers or any Subsidiary thereof
(as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

 

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

 

2.13.        Settlement
Amongst Lenders.

 

(a)          The
amount of each Lender’s Applicable Percentage of outstanding Loans (including, for clarity, outstanding Swing Line Loans),
shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Agent’s discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward based on
all Loans and repayments of Loans received by the Agent as of 3:00 p.m. on the first Business Day (such date, the “Settlement
Date”) following the end of the period specified by the Agent.

 

(b)          The
Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders promptly after a Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans
for the period and the amount of repayments received for the period. As reflected on the summary statement, each Lender shall transfer
to the Agent (as provided below) or the Agent shall transfer to each Lender, such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after
giving effect to all such transfers, the amount of Loans made by each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage
of all Loans outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to the Agent by the
Lenders and is received prior to 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later
than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if received after 11:00 a.m., then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation
of each Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Agent. If and to
the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent, forthwith on demand
such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, equal
to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and the costs thereof to Borrowers under the terms of this Agreement as determined by
Agent.

 

2.14.        Defaulting
Lenders.

 

(a)      
    Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any
Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent
permitted by applicable Law:

 

(i)          Waivers
and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect
to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 10.01.

 

     -58-

     

    

 

(ii)          Defaulting
Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting
Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Agent from
a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as
follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on
a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, as the Lead Borrower
may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting
Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fourth, if so determined
by the Agent and the Lead Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s
potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to
the Lenders or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any or the Swing
Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting
Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed
by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect
of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting
Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all
Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments
hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iii)(C). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to
a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected
by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(iii)      Certain
Fees.

 

		 (A)	No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 2.08(a)
for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that
otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

 

		 (B)	With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.08(a), the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each
Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting
Lender’s participation in Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause
(iv) below, (y) pay to the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting
Lender to the extent allocable to such Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required
to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

 

     -59-

     

    

 

		 (C)	Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such
Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance
with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only
to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless
the Borrowers shall have otherwise notified the Agent at such time, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted
that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Outstanding Amount of
Obligations of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having
become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased
exposure following such reallocation.

 

		 (D)	Repayment of Swing Line Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iii)(D) above cannot,
or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to them hereunder or
under applicable Law prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lenders’ Fronting Exposure.

 

(b)          Defaulting
Lender Cure. If the Lead Borrower, the Agent and the Swing Line Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting
Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to
any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the
extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent
may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro
rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iii)(C)),
whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect
to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender
will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.

ARTICLE
III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY;

APPOINTMENT OF LEAD BORROWER

 

3.01.        Taxes.

 

(a)  
        Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of
Taxes.

 

(i)        Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or
withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion
of the Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Agent or a Loan Party, then the Agent
or such Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation
to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

 

(ii)   
   If any Loan Party or the Agent shall be required by any applicable Laws other than the Code to withhold or
deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Loan Party or the Agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make
such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant
to subsection (e) below, (B) such Loan Party or the Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the
full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent
that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall
be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

 

(b)     
     Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection
(a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the
option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

(c)           Tax
Indemnifications.

 

(i)  
     The Loan Parties shall, and each Loan Party does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each
Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after 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
3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any
penalties, interest and 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 Lead Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf
or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

     -61-

     

    

 

(ii)       Each
Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor,
(x) the Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already
indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Agent
and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions
of Section 10.06(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable,
against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent or a Loan Party in
connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 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 any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
against any amount due to the Agent under this clause (ii).

 

(d)           Evidence
of Payments. Upon request by the Lead Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Lead Borrower
or by the Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Agent
or the Agent shall deliver to the Lead Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such
Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence
of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be.

 

(e)           Status
of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

 

(i)    
   Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments
made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by
the Lead Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower
or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition,
any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Lead Borrower or the Agent to
determine whether or not such 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 Section 3.01(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not
be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender
to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such
Lender.

 

     -62-

     

    

 

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

 

		(A)	any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Agent on or prior to
the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request
of the Lead Borrower or the Agent), executed originals 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 Lead Borrower
and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to 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 Lead Borrower or the
Agent), 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

Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form
W-8BEN; or

 

     -63-

     

    

 

		(4)	to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY,
accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2
or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/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
F-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 Lead Borrower
and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to 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 Lead Borrower or the
Agent), executed originals 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 Lead Borrower or the Agent 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 Lead Borrower and the Agent
at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Agent 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 Lead Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Lead Borrower and the Agent to comply with their
obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine
the amount 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.

 

     -64-

     

    

 

		(E)	Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or
becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Lead Borrower
and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

(f)    
      Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Agent have
any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund
of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient 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 by any
Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall
pay to the Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional
amounts paid, by a Loan Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid
by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the
Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by
the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable
Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the
Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient 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 with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to
require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems
confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

 

(g)          Survival.
Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any
assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or
discharge of all other Obligations.

 

     -65-

     

    

 

3.02.  
     Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or
fund LIBOR Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has
imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the
London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Lead Borrower through the Agent, (i) any obligation of
such Lender to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making
or maintaining Base Rate Loans, the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base
Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined
by the Agent without reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case, until such Lender notifies the
Agent and the Lead Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such
notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable,
immediately Convert all LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of
such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the LIBOR Rate
component of the Base Rate), if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans and (y) if such
notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, the
Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the
LIBOR Rate component thereof until the Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such
Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate. Upon any such prepayment or Conversion, the Borrowers
shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or Converted.

 

3.03.   
    Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in
connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Conversion thereto that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered
to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan , or (c) the LIBOR Rate
with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such
Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to
make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding
sentence with respect to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBOR Rate component in
determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Required
Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Lead Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing
of LIBOR Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have Converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

 

3.04.   
    Increased Costs; Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans.

 

(a)     
     Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

 

(i)  
    impose, modify or deem applicable 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, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate);

 

     -66-

     

    

 

(ii)       subject
any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition
of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations,
or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

 

(iii)      impose
on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans
made by such Lender;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing
shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its
obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether
of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Loan Parties will pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b)          Capital
Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or
such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital or liquidity of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Swing Line Loans held by, such Lender,
to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking
into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the Loan Parties will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

(c)          Certificates
for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Lead Borrower shall
be conclusive absent manifest error. The Loan Parties shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
10 days after receipt thereof.

 

(d)          Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Loan Parties
shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred
or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Lead Borrower of the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that,
if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

     -67-

     

    

 

(e)          Reserves
on LIBOR Rate Loans. The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves
with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such
reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive),
which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Lead Borrower shall
have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If
a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable
10 days from receipt of such notice.

 

3.05.        Compensation
for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate
such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of any failure by the
Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, or Convert any Loan on the date
or in the amount notified by the Lead Borrower, including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from
the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from
which such funds were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection
with the foregoing.

 

3.06.        Mitigation
Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

 

(a)          Designation
of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrowers are required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01,
or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different
Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,
branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts
payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice
pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b)          Replacement
of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case,
such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.06(a), the Borrowers
may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

 

3.07.        Survival.
All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments,
repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Agent.

 

     -68-

     

    

 

3.08.        Designation
of Lead Borrower as Borrowers’ Agent.

 

(a)          Each
Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Borrower’s agent to obtain Credit Extensions,
the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement. As the disclosed
principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to each Credit Party on account of Credit Extensions so made as if made
directly by the applicable Credit Party to such Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Credit Extensions are recorded
on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and of any other Borrower. In addition, each Loan Party other than the Borrowers
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Loan Party’s agent to represent such Loan Party in all
respects under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)          Each
Borrower recognizes that credit available to it hereunder is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on
and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all
other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to discharge all Obligations of each of the other Borrowers.

 

(c)          The
Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a “Borrower”) on whose behalf the Lead
Borrower has requested a Credit Extension. Neither the Agent nor any other Credit Party shall have any obligation to see to the
application of such proceeds therefrom.

contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case,

welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or properly accrued in accordance with GAAP as a liability on the books of
such Loan Party. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.18 no Loan Party is a party to or bound by any collective bargaining
agreement, management agreement, employment agreement, bonus, restricted stock, stock option, or stock appreciation plan or agreement
or any similar plan, agreement or arrangement. There are no representation proceedings pending or, to any Loan Party’s knowledge,
threatened to be filed with the National Labor Relations Board, and no labor organization or group of employees of any Loan Party
has made a pending demand for recognition. There are no complaints, unfair labor practice charges, grievances, arbitrations, unfair
employment practices charges or any other claims or complaints against any Loan Party pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan
Party, threatened to be filed with any Governmental Authority or arbitrator based on, arising out of, in connection with, or otherwise
relating to the employment or termination of employment of any employee of any Loan Party. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any
union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party is bound.

and enforceable security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), the enforceability of which is subject

security interest in, to and under all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in all Collateral that may be perfected

Documents required to be delivered pursuant
to Section 6.01(a), (b), or (c) or Section 6.02(d) (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed
with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which

IntraLinks, Syndtrak or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders
may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with
respect to the Loan Parties or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Loan Parties hereby agree that
they will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify that portion of the Borrower Materials that may be distributed to the
Public Lenders and that (w) all such Borrower Materials shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at
a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower
Materials “PUBLIC,” the Loan Parties shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower
Materials as not containing any material non-public information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to
the Loan Parties or their securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however,
that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.07);
(y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated
“Public Investor”; and (z) the Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC”
as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

6.04.        Payment
of Obligations. Pay and discharge as the same shall become due and payable, all its obligations and liabilities, including
(a) all tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its properties or assets, (b) all lawful claims
(including, without limitation, claims of landlords, warehousemen, customs brokers, freight forwarders, consolidators, and carriers)

acknowledged that the carriers proving coverage as of the Closing Date are deemed by Agent to be acceptable), insurance with respect
to its properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same
or similar business and operating in the same or similar locations or as is required by Law, of such types and in such amounts
as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons and as are reasonably acceptable to the Agent.

 

(a)          Maintain
for themselves and their Subsidiaries a Directors and Officers insurance policy with a responsible company in such amounts as are
customarily carried by business entities engaged in similar businesses similarly situated, and will upon request by the Agent furnish

(b)          Cause
all property insurance policies maintained with respect to any Collateral to be endorsed in favor of Agent and to include a lenders’

from and after the Closing Date, the insurer shall pay all proceeds otherwise payable to the Loan Parties under the policies directly
to the Agent, (ii) a provision to the effect that none of the Loan Parties, the Agent, the Agent or any other party shall be a
co-insurer and (iii) such other provisions as the Agent may reasonably require from time to time to protect the interests of the
Credit Parties.

 

(e)          Cause
each such policy referred to in this Section 6.07 to also provide that it shall not be canceled (i) by reason of nonpayment
of premium except upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Agent (giving the
Agent the right to cure defaults in the payment of premiums) or (ii) for any other reason except upon not less than thirty (30)
days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Agent; provided that the Loan Parties shall also promptly deliver
to the Agent any notice of cancellation, modification or non-renewal of any such policy of insurance received by any Loan Party
or any Subsidiary.

 

(f)   
      Deliver to the Agent, prior to the cancellation, modification or non-renewal of any such policy of

premium therefor.

None of the Credit Parties, or their agents
or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Section
6.07. Each Loan Party shall look solely to its insurance companies or any other parties other than the Credit Parties for the
recovery of such loss or damage and such insurance companies shall have no rights of subrogation against any Credit Party or its
agents or employees. If, however, the insurance policies do not provide waiver of subrogation rights against such parties, as required
above, then the Loan Parties hereby agree, to the extent permitted by law, to waive their right of recovery, if any, against the
Credit Parties and their agents and employees. The designation of any form, type or amount of insurance coverage by any Credit
Party under this Section 6.07 shall in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or advice by such Credit Party that
such insurance is adequate for the purposes of the business of the Loan Parties or the protection of their properties.

injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which
adequate reserves have been set aside and maintained by the Loan Parties in accordance with GAAP; (b) such contest effectively

Material Adverse Effect.

any Governmental Authority having regulatory jurisdiction over the Loan Parties or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

Public Accounting Firm to cooperate with, and be available to, the Agent or its representatives to discuss the Loan Parties’
financial performance, financial condition, operating results, controls, and such other matters, within the scope of the retention
of such Registered Public Accounting Firm, as may be raised by the Agent.

deems necessary or appropriate, at the Credit Parties’ expense or, (ii) if required by Law or if a Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, at the expense of the Loan Parties.

clause (a)), and (b) if any Equity Interests or Indebtedness of such Person are owned by or on behalf of any Loan Party, to pledge

Interests of such Subsidiary to be pledged may be limited to 65% of the outstanding voting Equity Interests of such Subsidiary
and 100% of the non-voting Equity Interests of such Subsidiary, in each case in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory
to the Agent. In no event shall compliance with this Section 6.11 waive or be deemed a waiver or Consent to any transaction
giving rise to the need to comply with this Section 6.11 if such transaction was not otherwise expressly permitted by this
Agreement or constitute or be deemed to constitute, with respect to any Subsidiary, an approval of such Person as a Borrower or
Guarantor hereunder or permit the inclusion of any acquired assets in the computation of the Borrowing Base.

inaccurate thereby (and, in the case of any supplements to any Schedule, such Schedule shall be appropriately marked to show the
changes made therein). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no supplement or revision to any Schedule or representation shall be deemed
the Credit Parties’ consent to the matters reflected in such updated Schedules or revised representations nor permit the
Loan Parties to undertake any actions otherwise prohibited hereunder or fail to undertake any action required hereunder from the
restrictions and requirements in existence prior to the delivery of such updated Schedules or such revision of a representation;
nor shall any such supplement or revision to any Schedule or representation be deemed the Credit Parties’ waiver of any Default
or Event of Default resulting from the matters disclosed therein.

 

6.14.        Physical
Inventories.

 

(a)          Cause
not less than one physical inventory to be undertaken, at the expense of the Loan Parties, in each Fiscal Quarter and periodic
cycle counts, in each case consistent with past practices, conducted by such inventory takers as are satisfactory to the Agent
(and Agent hereby agrees that the professionals performing such inventory counts as of the Closing Date are acceptable) and following
such methodology as is consistent with the methodology used in the immediately preceding inventory or as otherwise may be satisfactory
to the Agent. The Agent, at the expense of the Loan Parties, may participate in and/or observe each scheduled physical count of
Inventory which is undertaken on behalf of any Loan Party. The Lead Borrower, within 5 Business Days following the completion of
such inventory, shall provide the Agent with a reconciliation of the results of such inventory (as well as of any other physical
inventory or cycle counts undertaken by a Loan Party) and shall post such results to the Loan Parties’ stock ledgers and
general ledgers, as applicable.

neither a Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to undertake any such cleanup, removal, remedial or other action
to the extent that its obligation to do so is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and adequate reserves have
been set aside and are being maintained by the Loan Parties with respect to such circumstances in accordance with GAAP.

 

6.16.        Further
Assurances.

 

(a)          Execute
any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the
filing and recording of financing statements and other documents), that may be required under any Law, or which any Agent may request,
to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or to grant, preserve, protect or perfect the Liens created or
intended to be created by the Security Documents or the validity or priority of any such Lien, all at the expense of the Loan Parties.
The Loan Parties also agree to provide to the Agent, from time to time upon request, evidence satisfactory to the Agent as to the
perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Security Documents.

 

(b)          If
any material assets are acquired by any Loan Party after the Closing Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the
Security Documents that become subject to the perfected first-priority Lien under the Security Documents upon acquisition thereof),
notify the Agent thereof, and the Loan Parties will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and will
take such actions as shall be necessary or shall be requested by any Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described
in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.16, and including, with respect to Real Estate, such actions as would have been required
under Section 4.01 had such Real Estate been owned as of the Closing Date, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. In no event
shall compliance with this Section 6.16(b) waive or be deemed a waiver or Consent to any transaction giving rise to the
need to comply with this Section 6.16(b) if such transaction was not otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement or
constitute or be deemed to constitute Consent to the inclusion of any acquired assets in the computation of the Borrowing Base.

the request of the Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of its customs brokers, freight forwarders, consolidators

THE AGENT

 

9.01.        Appointment
and Authority.

 

Each of the Lenders (in its capacity as a Lender) and the Swing Line Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Encina
Business Credit, LLC to act on its behalf as the administrative agent and collateral agent hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent
by the terms hereof or thereof (including, without limitation, acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral
granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations), together with such actions and powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the other Credit Parties, and no
Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood
and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with
reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency
doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only
an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

 

9.02.        Rights
as a Lender. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders”
shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent
hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial
advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary
or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

9.03.        Exculpatory
Provisions. The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

 

(a)          shall
not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing;

 

    	-105- 

     

    

 

(b)          shall
not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers
expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by
the Applicable Lenders; provided, that, the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion
or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Law, including for
the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect
a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

 

(c)          shall
not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable
for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or
obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

The
Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the Consent or at the request of the Applicable Lenders
(as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and
8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

The
Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default
or Event of Default is given to the Agent by the Loan Parties or a Lender. In the event that the Agent obtains such actual knowledge
or receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each of the other Credit Parties. Upon the occurrence
of a Default or an Event of Default, the Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall
be reasonably directed by the Applicable Lenders. Unless and until the Agent shall have received such direction, the Agent may
(but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event
of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Credit Parties. In no event shall the Agent be required to comply
with any such directions to the extent that the Agent believes that its compliance with such directions would be unlawful.

 

The
Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation
made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other
document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of
any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or
Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the
Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in
Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

 

9.04.        Reliance
by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request,
certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including, but not limited to, any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise
authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance
with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the
Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received written notice to the
contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any
Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

    	-106- 

     

    

 

9.05.        Delegation
of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other
Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any
and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions
of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply
to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities
as the Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that
a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence
or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

 

9.06.        Resignation
of Agent. The Agent may at any time give written notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Lead Borrower. Upon receipt
of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, to appoint
a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the
United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders,
appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided, that, if the Agent shall notify
the Lead Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless
become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders
under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent
shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided
for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed
to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged
therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Lead Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s
resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue
in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent hereunder.

other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it
shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon
this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except as
provided in Section 9.12, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Credit Party with any other
credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Loan Party that may come into the possession
of the Agent.

 

9.08.        No
Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no bookrunner, arranger, syndication agent or documentation

of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity as the Agent or a Lender hereunder.

 

9.09.        Agent
May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding
relative to any Loan Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein
expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Loan Parties)
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

 

(a)          to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims

and advances of the Lenders, the Agent, such Credit Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due

compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent
under Sections 2.08 and 10.04.

contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Credit
Party any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Credit
Party or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Credit Party in any such proceeding.

any provision of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”, or any other provision hereof specifying the

as expressly permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, release, or limit the liability of, any Loan Party without
the written Consent of each Lender;

any Loan Party, and (y) any Loan Document may be amended and waived with the consent of the Agent at the request of the Borrower
without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply
with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause any Loan Document to
be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

    	-112- 

     

    

 

(l)          If
any Lender does not Consent (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect
to any Loan Document that requires the Consent of each Lender and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Lead Borrower
may replace such Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with Section 10.13; provided, that, such amendment,

Loan Documents with the obligations and liabilities from time to time outstanding in respect of the existing facilities hereunder,
and (ii) in connection with the foregoing, to permit, as deemed appropriate by the Agent and approved by the Lenders, the Lenders
providing such additional credit facilities to participate in any required vote or action required to be approved by the Required

ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES

not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified
herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Loan Parties shall
indemnify the Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting

10.03.      No
Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Credit Party to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided herein and in
the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default,
regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

 

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and
proceedings at Law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Agent in accordance
with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit
(a) the Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent)
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to
its benefit (solely in its capacity Swing Line Lender) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, or (c) any Lender from exercising
setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.12); and provided, further,
that if at any time there is no Person acting as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders
shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set
forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.12, any Lender may, with the
consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

and hold each Indemnitee harmless (on an after tax basis) from, any and all losses, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities,
settlement payments, costs, and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee),
incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party 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, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the administration of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged

paid by any Credit Party to, a Controlled Account Bank or other Person which has entered into a control agreement with any Credit
Party hereunder, or (v) 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 any Borrower or any other Loan Party
or any of the Loan Parties’ directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto,
in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence
of the Indemnitee; 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 the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without limiting
the provisions of Section 3.01(c), this Section 10.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes
that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

 

(c)          Waiver
of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Loan Parties shall not assert, and hereby waive,

any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds
thereof.

 

(d)          Payments.

information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee
as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

    	-116- 

     

    

 

(f)          Survival.
The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of any Agent or the Swing Line Lender, the assignment of any Commitment
or Loan by any Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction
or discharge of all the other Obligations.

 

10.05.       Payments
Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Loan Parties is made to any Credit Party, or any Credit Party
exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Credit
Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred,
and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its Applicable Percentage (without duplication) of any amount
so recovered from or repaid by the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made
at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b)
of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

 

10.06.      Successors
and Assigns.

expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors
and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Credit Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or
by reason of this Agreement.

                                         any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount
                                         of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or,
                                         if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans
                                         of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the
                                         Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or,
                                         if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the
                                         Trade Date, shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Agent and, so long
                                         as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lead Borrower otherwise
                                         consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
                                         however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent
                                         assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an

                                         for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

 

		(C)	Proportionate

                                         consent of the Lead Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
                                         shall be required unless (1) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing

		(2)	the
                                         consent of the Agent, shall be required for assignments in respect of any Commitment
                                         if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or
                                         an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; provided that the Agent’s refusal
                                         to accept a sale to a holder of obligations under the Term Loan Agreement or an Affiliate
                                         of such a holder, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations
                                         on voting) upon sales to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable; and

                                         and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent

                                         provided, however, that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to
                                         waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee,
                                         if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

                                         its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder,
                                         would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to
                                         a natural Person.

                                         Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations
                                         of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and
                                         until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the
                                         assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient,
                                         upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by
                                         the assignee of participations or sub-participations, or other compensating actions,
                                         including funding, with the consent of the Lead Borrower and the Agent, the applicable
                                         pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender,
                                         to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to
                                         (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender
                                         to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and
                                         fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Swing
                                         Line Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
                                         in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder
                                         shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of
                                         this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting
                                         Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject
to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date
specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent
of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement,
and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring
prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed
by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder
arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute
and deliver a promissory note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this
Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of
a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d).

 

(c)          Register.
The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall
maintain at the Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic
form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts
(and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Agent and the Lenders may 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, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Lead Borrower and any
Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)          Participations.
Any Lender may at any time, with notice to and the consent of the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person or the Loan Parties or any of the Loan Parties’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”)
in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided, that,
(i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible
to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties, the Agent and the Lenders
shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any Participant shall agree in writing to comply with all confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 10.07
as if such Participant was a Lender hereunder.

 

    	-120- 

     

    

 

(e)          Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the
sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;
provided, that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant,
agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the first proviso to Section
10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (g) of this Section, the Loan Parties agree that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender
and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to
be subject to Section 2.02 as though it were a Lender.

 

(f)          Each
Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, 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 the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided,
that, no Lender shall have any 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 any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its
other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that
such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States
Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have
no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

 

(g)          Limitations
upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04
than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Lead Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant
that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the
Lead Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Loan
Parties, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

 

(h)          Certain
Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including under its promissory note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from
any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

    	-121- 

     

    

 

(i)          Resignation
as Swing Line Lender after Assignment or Resignation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any
time Encina Business Credit, LLC resigns as Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.06, Encina Business Credit
SPV, LLC may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders,
resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Swing Line Lender, the Lead Borrower shall be entitled to
appoint from among the Lenders a successor Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the
Lead Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Encina Business Credit
SPV, LLC as Swing Line Lender. If Encina Business Credit
SPV, LLC resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing
Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such
resignation. Upon the appointment of any successor Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with
all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Lender and (b) the successor Swing Line Lender shall
repay all outstanding Obligations with respect to Swing Line Loans due to the resigning Swing Line Lender.

 

10.07.      Treatment
of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, Approved Funds, and to its and its Affiliates’
and Approved Funds’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, funding sources, attorneys, advisors and
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature
of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority
purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by Laws or regulations
or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies
hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement (including any electronic agreement contained in
any Platform) containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in,
or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or
prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Contract relating to any Loan Party and its obligations, (g) with the consent
of the Lead Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of
this Section or (ii) becomes available to any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from
a source other than the Loan Parties.

 

For
purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof
relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is
available to any Credit Party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof; provided,
that, in the case of information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary after the Closing Date, such information
is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information
as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the
same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

    	-122- 

     

    

 

Each
of the Credit Parties acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Loan Parties
or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information
and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Law, including Federal and state securities Laws.

 

10.08.      Right
of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if any Lender shall have been served with a trustee
process or similar attachment relating to property of a Loan Party, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Agent or the Required Lenders,
to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final, in whatever currency) or other property at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing
by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any
and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, regardless
of the adequacy of the Collateral, and irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement
or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or
are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness;
provided, that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts
so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section
2.14 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust
for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing
in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights
of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Lead Borrower and
the Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided, that, the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

10.09.      Interest
Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be
paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If the Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest
shall be applied to the principal of the Loans and other Obligations (other than Other Liabilities not then due and owing) or,
if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or
received by the Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Law, (a) characterize
any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout
the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

    	-123- 

     

    

 

10.10.      Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in 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. Except as provided
in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery
of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, pdf or other electronic transmission shall be as
effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

10.11.      Survival.
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or
thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations
and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Credit Parties, regardless of any investigation made by any Credit Party
or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default
at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder
shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. Further, the provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 10.04
and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Obligations or the
termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. In connection with the termination
of this Agreement and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral, the Agent may require such indemnities
and collateral security as it shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Credit Parties against (x) loss on
account of credits previously applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked, (y) any obligations that
may thereafter arise with respect to the Other Liabilities, and (z) any Obligations that may thereafter arise under Section
10.04 hereof.

 

10.12.      Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality,
validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable
provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the
enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined
in good faith by the Agent or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only
to the extent not so limited.

 

    	-124- 

     

    

 

10.13.      Replacement
of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender
is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such
Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to
payments pursuant to Section 3.01 and 3.04) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents
to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment);
provided, that,:

 

(a)          the
Borrowers shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

 

(b)          such
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued
fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section
3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the
case of all other amounts);

 

(c)          in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

 

(d)          such
assignment does not conflict with Laws; and

 

(e)          in
the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented
to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

 

A
Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender
or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

10.14.      Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

 

(a)          GOVERNING
LAW. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract

OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED

TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES
IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

 

(c)          WAIVER
OF VENUE. EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT
IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH OF THE LOAN 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)          SERVICE
OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR WITH RESPECT TO NOTICES

PERMITTED BY LAW.

 

10.15.      Waiver
of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY 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 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 PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT

10.16.      No
Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Loan Parties
each acknowledge and agree that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in

Document (irrespective of whether any of the Credit Parties has advised or is currently advising any Loan Party or any of its
Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Credit Parties has any obligation to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents;

of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L.

directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party,
candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or
obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended. The Loan Parties

anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

 

    	-127- 

     

    

 

10.18.      Foreign
Asset Control Regulations. Neither of the advance of the Loans nor the use of the proceeds of any thereof will violate the

of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended)
(the “Foreign Assets Control Regulations”) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto
(which for the avoidance of doubt shall include, but shall not be limited to (a) Executive Order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking
Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001))
(the “Executive Order”) and (b) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required

10.20.      Press
Releases.  Each Loan Party consents to the publication by the Agent or any Lender of advertising material relating to
the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using any Loan Party’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark.
The Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft reasonably in advance of any advertising material to the Lead Borrower prior to
the publication thereof. The Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary
for inclusion in league table measurements.

 

10.21.      Additional
Waivers.

 

(a)          The
Obligations are the joint and several obligation of each Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the obligations of
each Loan Party shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce
or exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or
otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions
of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of,
any of the Collateral or other security held by or on behalf of the Agent or any other Credit Party, or (iv) any default, failure
or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might
in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party
as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations after the termination
of the Commitments). The obligations of each Loan Party shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination
for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations after the termination of the Commitments),
including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject
to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
of any of the Obligations or otherwise.

(b)          To
the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan
Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability
of any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the termination of the
Commitments. The Agent and the other Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them
by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or
adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy
available to them against any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder
except to the extent that all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments have been terminated.
Each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to Law, to impair
or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Loan Party against any other Loan
Party.

 

(c)          Upon
payment by any Loan Party of any Obligations, all rights of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof
by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior
in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.
In addition, any indebtedness of any Loan Party now or hereafter held by any other Loan Party is hereby subordinated in right
of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and no Loan Party will demand, sue for or otherwise attempt
to collect any such indebtedness. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Loan Party on account of (i) such subrogation,
contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be
held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to be credited against the payment
of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Subject to the foregoing, to the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any
of the Obligations constituting Loans made to another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily
by any other Borrower (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall
be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each
of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s
Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination,
the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation
Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower “insolvent”
within the meaning of Section 101 (32) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”)
or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably
small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the
UFCA, or (c) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy
Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA.

10.22.      No
Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the
event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by
the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship
of any provisions of this Agreement.

 

10.23.      Attachments.
The exhibits, schedules and annexes attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein and shall be considered a part of this
Agreement for the purposes stated herein, except that in the event of any conflict between any of the provisions of such exhibits
and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

 

10.24.      Electronic
Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof
(including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms
and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which
shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping
system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures
in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws
based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

 

10.25.      ENTIRE
AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED
BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG
THE PARTIES.

 

10.26.      Keepwell.
Each Loan Party that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Security Agreement or the grant of a security interest under
the Loan Documents, in each case, by any Specified Loan Party becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly
and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified
Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of
its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount
of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings
under the Security Agreement voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for
any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full
force and effect until Payment in Full of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Loan Party intends
this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell,
support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

10.27.      Acknowledgement
and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in
any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of
any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the
write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be
bound by: (a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising
hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution, and (b) the effects of any Bail-in
Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: (i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability,
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial
Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such
shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise
of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

 

10.28.      Intercreditor
Agreement. EACH LENDER HEREUNDER (I) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED A COPY OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, (II) CONSENTS
TO THE SUBORDINATION OF LIENS PROVIDED FOR IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, (III) AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY AND WILL TAKE
NO ACTIONS CONTRARY TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND (IV) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE AGENT TO ENTER INTO
THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY AMENDMENTS THERETO REQUIRED BY THE TERMS THEREOF AS AGENT AND ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER. THE
FOREGOING PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE LENDERS AND THE TERM LOAN LENDERS TO EXTEND CREDIT TO THE BORROWERS
AND SUCH LENDERS ARE INTENDED THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF SUCH PROVISIONS. TO THE EXTENT OF ANY CONFLICT OR INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN
THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN.
