other than Loans outstanding, that become owing hereunder shall bear interest at the same rate as payable on Base Rate Loans until paid

the Applicable Margin. If any BSBY Loan is ever required to bear interest at a rate per annum equal to any Replacement Index (or, as applicable,
Adjusted Replacement Index) plus the Applicable Margin because of the operation of Section 2.3(h), such BSBY Loan shall
bear interest at a rate per annum equal to such Replacement Index (or, as applicable, Adjusted Replacement Index) plus the Applicable
Margin.

(d)              
360 Days. All interest on any Loan and on all other Obligations, together with any fees chargeable hereunder or under any
other Loan Documents at a per annum rate, shall be calculated on the presumed basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual number of days
elapsed.

(e)              
Adjustment of Interest Rate. The rate of interest on any BSBY Loan shall be adjusted as provided in the definition of the
BSBY Index Rate, shall be to further adjustment in accordance with Section 2.3(g) or, as applicable, Section 2.3(h). If
any BSBY Loan is converted into a Base Rate Loan because of Section 2.3(g), the rate of interest on such Base Rate Loan shall be
adjusted automatically and without notice on and as of the date of any change in the Base Rate as provided in the definition thereof.

(f)               
Default Rate. At Lender’s option, during the existence of any Event of Default, the principal amount of all Obligations
(other than Obligations arising under Swap Agreements between Borrower and Lender or any of its Affiliates, unless so provided therein)
shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In any event, the Default Rate shall automatically and without notice to any Person apply from
the time the Obligations have become due and payable under Section 9.2 (whether because of Lender’s exercising its right
to accelerate the Obligations 

    22 

     

    

under Section 9.2 or because the Obligations have automatically become due and payable under Section
9.2) until the Obligations or any judgment thereon are paid in full.

(g)              
Automatic Conversion to Base Rate. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if Lender at any time
or from time to time determines that (i) the BSBY Rate is unavailable, (ii) the BSBY Rate cannot be determined, (iii) the BSBY Rate does
not adequately reflect the cost to Lender of making, funding, or maintaining any Loan, (iv) the use of the BSBY Rate has become impracticable
or unreliable, (v) the BSBY Rate is no longer representative of the underlying market or economic reality, (vi) it is no longer lawful
for Lender to lend at an interest rate based on the BSBY Rate, or (vii) an Event of Default exists and at any time during its continuation
Lender shall so elect, then, in each case, unless and except to the extent otherwise provided in subsection (h) below, (A) all
affected BSBY Loans shall automatically and without notice be converted into Base Rate Loans and (B) all obligations of Lender to make
BSBY Loans shall cease until such time as Lender shall have determined that it is able to determine the BSBY Rate or that such illegality
or other condition described above shall have been reversed, or that such Event of Default shall have been waived, as applicable.

(h)              
Replacement Index. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, but
without limiting subsection (g) above, if Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding
upon all parties hereto), that any of the circumstances described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of subsection (g)
above have arisen, and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, Lender may elect, in lieu of exercising its rights under
subsection (g) above, to designate in place of BSBY Index Rate a substitute interest rate index applicable to all BSBY Loans then
and thereafter outstanding (the “Replacement Index”). If Lender so designates a Replacement Index, Lender may also
determine at such time or at any time or from time to time thereafter that an index adjustment is necessary to produce a comparable interest
rate to the interest rate that would have applied to the BSBY Loans based on the BSBY Index Rate. Upon such determination, Lender will
designate the amount of such index adjustment (which may be a positive or a negative number) and adjust the Replacement Index by that
amount (the result being the “Adjusted Replacement Index”). Lender will provide notice to Borrower Representative of
the Replacement Index and any Adjusted Replacement Index, as applicable, and their respective effective dates. Thereafter, the Replacement
Index or, as applicable, the Adjusted Replacement Index shall be deemed to be and shall become the operative interest rate index instead
of the BSBY Index Rate for purposes of making (or continuing) BSBY Loans under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, and all BSBY
Loans shall continue to bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereafter from the effective date of such designation(s) through
repayment thereof at the Replacement Index (or the Adjusted Replacement Index, as applicable) plus the Applicable Margin (subject
to increase to the Default Rate, as applicable). The Replacement Index or, as applicable, Adjusted Replacement Index will not be less
than zero percent (0.00%) per annum in any event. The Replacement Index or, as applicable, the Adjusted Replacement Index, may not necessarily
be Lender’s most favorable lending rate or interest rate index. Any determination or designation made by Lender under this subsection
(h) shall be made in Lender’s discretion and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error, and any such determination
or designation shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after Lender shall have notified Borrower Representative
of such determination or designation. For avoidance of any doubt, the institution (or adjustment) of any 

    23 

     

    

Replacement Index or any Adjusted
Replacement Index, as applicable, by Lender shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, Borrowers or Borrower Representative.

(i)                
No Warranty on Rate Selection. Lender does not warrant, nor does Lender accept responsibility for, nor shall the Lender
have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “BSBY
Rate” (or “BSBY Index Rate”) or with respect to any interest rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection
of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternative or replacement for or successor to any of such rates or
the effect of any of the foregoing (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented
pursuant to subsection (h) above, and (ii) the implementation of any conforming changes pursuant to subsection (j) below), including
without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be
similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the BSBY Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the BSBY Rate
prior to its discontinuance, unavailability, illegality or impracticability of use.

(j)                
BSBY Rate Conforming Changes. With respect to the BSBY Rate (and BSBY Index Rate), Lender will have the continuing right
to make BSBY Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document,
any amendments implementing such BSBY Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other
party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, Lender shall post
each such amendment implementing such BSBY Rate Conforming Changes to Borrowers reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

2.4             
Requesting New Revolving Loans.

(a)              
Revolving Loans. Revolving Loans shall be deemed requested pursuant to the following clauses (i) and (ii) or when requested
pursuant to the following clause (iii):

(i)                
Subject to Subsection 2.4(b), the becoming due of any Obligation (whether as principal, accrued interest, fees, or
other charges owed to Lender or any Affiliate of Lender and whether payable on demand or otherwise) shall in all respects be deemed to
constitute Borrowers’ irrevocable request for a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to such Obligations, and Lender may (but shall
not be obligated to) make such Revolving Loan and apply the proceeds thereof to the payment of such Obligations.

(ii)             
Subject to Subsection 2.4(b), the presentment for payment of any Item drawn on, or request for any wire or other
transfer from, a Funding Account at a time when there are insufficient funds in such Funding Account to cover such Item shall in all respects
be deemed to constitute Borrowers’ irrevocable request for a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to the amount payable on such Item
to be made by Lender, and Lender may make such Revolving Loan and apply the proceeds thereof to such Funding Account for payment of such
Item.

    24 

     

    

(iii)           
For all other Revolving Loans, Borrower Representative shall provide Lender with a written request for borrowing pursuant
to a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.5.

(b)              
Provisions Regarding Deemed Requests for Revolving Loans. Lender shall have no obligation to honor any deemed request for
a Revolving Loan under clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 2.4(a), if (i) such request is deemed made after the Termination Date, (ii) doing
so would cause total Working Capital Obligations then outstanding (inclusive of such Loan) to exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment, or
(iii) Lender determines that any condition precedent in Section 4.2 hereof or any other condition precedent to the making of such Loan
is not then satisfied or will not be satisfied when such Loan is to be made; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender
may make such Revolving Loan in its discretion and without regard to the existence of, and without being deemed to have waived, any Default
or Event of Default which may then exist or arise from the making of such Revolving Loan and without regard to the absence of satisfaction
of any condition precedent, whether set forth in Section 4.2 or otherwise. Lender may make Revolving Loans under clauses (i) and
(ii) of Section 2.4(a) without Borrower Representative’s having submitted a Notice of Borrowing in regard thereto. Subject
to Section 2.3(g) and Section 2.3(h), as applicable, all Revolving Loans made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of
Section 2.4(a) shall be made as BSBY Loans.

2.5             
Requests for Revolving Loans.

(a)              
Making Requests for New Revolving Loans. Each request for the making of a new Revolving Loan shall be in writing, and Borrower
Representative shall submit a Notice of Borrowing in respect thereof. Each such request shall specify (i) the date for the making of the
applicable Revolving Loan, which date must be a Business Day; (ii) the principal amount of the applicable Revolving Loan to be made; (iii)
instructions for the disbursement of the proceeds of such Revolving Loan for Permitted Purposes (provided that, if such instructions
for the disbursement of such proceeds are not included in the notice, the proceeds will be deposited by Lender into a Funding Account);
and (iv) such other information as Lender may require from time to time in connection with, or to facilitate, such request.

(b)              
Timing and Acceptance of Requests. Requests for the making of a new Revolving Loan made under this Section 2.5 are
irrevocable. Requests under this Section 2.5 that Lender receives after 11:00 a.m. (Birmingham, Alabama, time) on any Business
Day shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Lender’s acceptance of a request for the making of a new Revolving Loan under
this Section 2.5 shall be indicated by its making the Revolving Loan requested, and Lender shall not be obliged to give Borrowers
or Borrower Representative any other notice of acceptance (or rejection). Lender shall make any such Revolving Loans in immediately available
funds on the same Business Day it receives or is deemed to have received a request for such borrowing in accordance herewith and subject
hereto.

2.6             
Excess Working Capital Obligations. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender may, in its
discretion, make or permit to remain outstanding Revolving Loans which are causing or would cause the Working Capital Obligations to exceed
the Revolving Loan Commitment, and all such excess amounts shall (i) be part of the Obligations 

    25 

     

    

evidenced by the Revolving Note, (ii)
bear interest as provided herein, and (iii) be payable on demand.

2.7             
Repayment of Loans.

(a)              
Repayment of Obligations Generally. Borrowers shall pay all outstanding principal amounts and accrued interest under each
Note and all other Obligations in accordance with the terms of such Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided
that Lender shall have the continuing right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment to any portion of the Obligations; provided,
further, that, to the extent Borrowers make a payment or Lender receives any payment for Borrowers’ benefit which is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be paid over to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver,
custodian or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part
thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or Proceeds had not been received by Lender.

(b)              
Repayment of Revolving Loans.

(i)                
All outstanding principal of the Revolving Loans shall be due and payable on the Termination Date. Prior thereto, and in
addition to the mandatory prepayments required hereby, Borrowers may also voluntarily prepay any Revolving Loans, without premium or penalty,
in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof.

(ii)             
Interest accrued on the Revolving Loans shall be due and payable, (A) in arrears, on the first day of each calendar month
for the immediately preceding calendar month or portion thereof, computed through the last calendar day of the preceding month, commencing
on the first day of the first calendar month following the Closing Date; (B) on the Termination Date; and (C) on demand after the Termination
Date.

(c)              
Authorization to Debit. In addition to Lender’s right to make a deemed Revolving Loan under Section 2.4(a),
Lender may, without notice to, or the consent of, Borrowers, debit any Funding Account, Collections Account or Deposit Account and apply
such amounts to the payment of Obligations which are then due and payable (whether as principal, accrued interest, fees, or other charges
owed to Lender or any Affiliate of Lender and whether payable on demand or otherwise) in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion,
shall elect.

(d)              
Time and Location of Payment. Except for payments made pursuant to Section 2.8 and Section 2.4(a)(i), Borrowers
shall make each payment of principal of and interest and other Obligations which are due and payable not later than 12:00 noon (Birmingham,
Alabama, time) on the date due, without set-off, counterclaim, charge back, discount or other deduction, in immediately available funds
to Lender at its address referred to in Section 10.4. If any payment of any Obligations shall be due on a day which is not a Business
Day, such payment shall be due and payable the next Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such time.

(e)              
Excess Over Revolving Loan Commitment. At any time the Working Capital Obligations exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment,
Borrowers shall immediately pay 

    26 

     

    

the amount of such excess to Lender (without necessity of Lender making demand for such payment).

(f)               
Swap Agreements Are Independent. Prepayment of any Loans shall not affect Borrowers’ obligation to continue making
payments under any Swap Agreement between Borrowers, or any of them, and Lender or any of its Affiliates, which shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding such prepayment, subject to the terms of such Swap Agreement.

(g)              
Capital or Liquidity Requirements; Increased Costs. If (i) the introduction of, or any change in, or in the interpretation
of, any Applicable Law or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or comparable agency or other Governmental
Entity (whether or not having the force of law), in respect of capital or liquidity ratios or requirements has or would have the effect
of reducing the rate of return on the capital of, or has affected or would affect the amount of capital required to be maintained by Lender
or any Person owning or Controlling Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, the Revolving Loan Commitment and other Commitments
of this type, below the rate which Lender or such other Person could have achieved but for such introduction, change, or compliance, then
within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s written demand for payment, Borrowers shall pay Lender from time to time as specified
by Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender or such other Person for such reduction. Lender’s accounting of such
amounts submitted in writing to Borrower Representative shall be presumed conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers agree that Lender’s
determination of such additional amounts and increased costs will be made in Lender’s discretion and shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Without limitation of the foregoing, each of the following shall be deemed to be a “change in, or in the interpretation
of, Applicable Law” for purposes hereof, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued: (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives thereunder; (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives
promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority)
of the United States or any foreign regulatory authorities pursuant to Basel III, and (iii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives
issued by a Governmental Entity in connection with Lender’s submission or re-submission of a capital plan under 12 CFR Section 225.8
or a Governmental Entity’s assessment thereof. 

2.8             
Letters of Credit.

(a)              
Issuance of Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender from time to time may issue,
extend, or renew Letters of Credit for the account of Borrowers; provided that, (i) before any such issuance, extension or renewal will
be considered, Borrower Representative shall have given Lender not less than five (5) Business Days’ written notice thereof (unless
a shorter notice period is approved by Lender from time to time); (ii) Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit,
if (A) doing so would cause (1) the Working Capital Obligations to exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment or (2) the aggregate amount of
LC Obligations to exceed the LC Sublimit; or (B) the expiration date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after (1) the date
specified in clause (a) of the definition of Termination Date, (2) in the case of a standby Letter of Credit, that date which is
three hundred sixty-five (365) days after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit, or (3) in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit,
that date which is one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit; 

    27 

     

    

or (C) the date of issuance of such
Letter of Credit is later than the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of Termination
Date; (iii) all other conditions precedent to the issuance of each such Letter or Credit set forth in this Agreement or in any LC Document
shall have been satisfied unless waived in writing by Lender; and (iv) such Letter of Credit shall be requested for, and once issued shall
be used only for, Permitted Purposes. All payments made by Lender under any Letter of Credit (whether or not a Borrower is the account
party) and all fees, commissions, discounts, and other amounts owed or to be owed to Lender in connection therewith, shall be paid by
Borrowers on demand, unless (x) Borrower Representative instructs Lender to make a Revolving Loan to pay such amount, and (y) Lender agrees
to do so, a Borrower Representative or, if requested by Lender, Borrowers, shall complete and sign such applications and supplemental
agreements and provide such other documentation as Lender may require in respect to the issuance and administration of the Letters of
Credit (together with the Letter of Credit, collectively, “LC Documents”). The form and substance of all Letters of
Credit shall be subject to Lender’s approval. Lender may charge certain fees or commissions for the issuance, handling, renewal
or extension of a Letter of Credit, in addition to the fees payable pursuant to Section 2.10(c). Borrowers unconditionally guarantee
the payment and performance of all obligations of any Subsidiary with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Subsidiary.
Upon Lender’s request, during the existence of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall immediately deliver to Lender immediately available
funds in an amount equal to 105% of the LC Obligations, which shall hold as cash collateral of the payment of Obligations related to the
Letters of Credit.

(b)              
Law Governing Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall be governed, as applicable, by (i) the Uniform
Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”), Publication 600, or any subsequent
revision or restatement thereof adopted by the ICC and in use by Lender or (ii) the International Standby Practices, ICC Publication No.
590, or any subsequent revision or restatement thereof adopted by the ICC and in use by Lender, except to the extent that the terms of
such publication would limit or diminish rights granted to Lender hereunder or in any other Loan Document.

2.9             
Fees.

(a)              
Upfront Fee. On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall pay Lender a non-refundable, fully earned upfront fee in the amount of
Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000).

(b)              
Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall pay Lender a fee for each day of the Term equal to (A) one-quarter of one percent (0.25%),
divided by (B) 360, times (C) the amount by which the Revolving Loan Commitment exceeded the Working Capital Obligations
on such day. Borrowers shall pay this fee on the first day of each calendar month, commencing on the first of such days following the
Closing Date, for each day in the preceding calendar month (or portion thereof), and on the Termination Date.

(c)              
Letter of Credit Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Lender, at such times as Lender shall require, Lender’s standard fees,
commissions, and charges in connection with Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, with respect to the initial issuance thereof
and any amendments, extensions, or modifications with respect thereto), as in effect from time to time, and with respect to standby and
commercial Letters of Credit, at the time of issuance of each Letter of 

    28 

     

    

Credit, or, at Lender’s option, on such periodic basis as
determined by Lender, a fee equal to the then effective Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans made as BSBY Loans (or, as the case may
be, by virtue of Section 2.3(g), the then effective Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans made as Base Rate Loans) on the face
amount of the Letter of Credit for the period of time the Letter of Credit will be outstanding, plus, in all instances in which Lender
has invoked the Default Rate in accordance with Section 2.3(g), an additional issuance fee equal to two percent (2%) per annum
for each Letter of Credit for the period of time during which the Default Rate is in effect and such additional issuance fee shall be
payable on demand.

(d)              
Method of Calculation; Fees Fully Earned. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all
fees payable hereunder or with respect to any Obligations shall be calculated on the presumed basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual
number of days elapsed. Unless otherwise expressly stated herein, all fees payable to Lender pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents shall be deemed fully earned when they become due and payable and, once paid, shall be deemed non-refundable, in whole or in
part; and, to the extent of Applicable Law, all such fees shall be deemed compensation to Lender for services rendered and not interest
or any other charge for the use, forbearance to collect or detention of money.

2.10         
Statement of Account. If Lender provides Borrower Representative with a statement of account in respect of any sums owing
hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, on a periodic basis, each such statement shall be final, conclusive and binding on Borrowers
for all purposes (absent manifest error), unless, within forty-five (45) days of its receipt of such statement, Borrower Representative
objects to Lender in writing and with specificity to such statement.

2.11         
Termination of Commitments. Borrowers may terminate this Agreement and the Commitments before the Termination Date, in whole
but not in part, by Borrower Representative giving Lender at least thirty (30) days prior written notice; provided, however,
that no termination by Borrowers shall be effective unless and until: (a) Lender shall have received cash collateral equal to 105% of
all Obligations which remain contingent (e.g., LC Obligations and pending indemnification payments) or an irrevocable direct-pay
letter of credit naming Lender as beneficiary, which letter of credit shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, be issued
by a bank satisfactory to Lender, and be in an original face amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of all such Obligations,
(b) all other Obligations have been fully and finally paid and performed, and (c) Borrowers shall have complied in full to Lender’s
satisfaction with all other requirements specified in the last sentence of Section 1.4 in regard hereto. Any notice of termination
shall be irrevocable. Lender may terminate this Agreement and the Commitments at any time, without notice, during the existence of an
Event of Default. This Agreement and the Commitments shall terminate in any event on the Termination Date.

2.12         
Reduction of Commitments. Borrowers may upon prior written notice from Borrower Representative to Lender, from time to time
permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment by an aggregate amount not to exceed, however, twenty percent (20%) of the original Revolving
Loan Commitment (unless otherwise approved by Lender in its discretion); provided, however, that (a) any such notice shall
be received by Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (Birmingham, Alabama time) five (5) Business Days prior to the date of any such reduction,
(b) any such reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) 

    29 

     

    

or any whole multiple of Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in excess thereof, and (b) after giving effect to any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving
Loan Commitment shall not be less than the total amount of Working Capital Obligations then outstanding. All fees accrued with respect
thereto until the effective date of any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction.
Any such reduction, once becoming effective, shall be irrevocable. No such reduction may be requested, or if requested, shall be granted,
if a Default or Event of Default then exists (unless otherwise approved by Lender in its discretion).

2.13         
Increase of Commitments. The Revolving Loan Commitment may be increased by Borrowers by an aggregate amount of up to Twenty
Million Dollars ($20,000,000) (the “Revolving Commitment Increase”), provided that: (a) Borrower Representative
shall have given to Lender at least thirty (30) days’ notice of Borrowers’ intention to seek a Revolving Commitment Increase
and the desired amount of such Revolving Commitment Increase; (b) such Revolving Commitment Increase shall not increase the amount of
the Revolving Loan Commitment of Lender without the written consent of Lender, in Lender's discretion; (c) to the extent requested by
any lender participating in such Revolving Commitment Increase, Borrowers shall execute a new Revolving Note with respect to such lender
reflecting the amount of, or increase in, such Lender's Revolving Commitment, (d) to the extent requested by Lender, Credit Parties shall
execute any additional documents, instruments or agreements that Lender deems necessary or desirable in connection therewith (including,
without limitation, secretary's certificates and authorizing resolutions and, to the extent required by Lender, an amendment to, or amendment
and restatement of, this Agreement to add additional lenders); (e) as of the date of such Revolving Commitment Increase, both before and
immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist, (ii) on a pro forma basis, Credit Parties shall
remain in compliance with each Financial Covenant, and (iii) each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 shall be satisfied;
and (f) any such Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (or such lesser
amount which shall be approved by Lender) and in integral multiples of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof, and no more
than two (2) Revolving Commitment Increases shall be permitted in total. A Revolving Commitment Increase may be effected by Lender by
increasing its Revolving Loan Commitment or one or more new lenders that are satisfactory to Lender in its discretion joining this Agreement
and providing a Revolving Commitment. After any Revolving Commitment Increase, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents shall apply to the increased amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment (including (i) being on a pari passu
basis in right of payment and Guarantees with the other Revolving Loans, (ii) having the same maturity date as the Revolving Loan Commitment
prior to such increase, and (iii) having the same Applicable Margin as the other Revolving Loans); provided that Borrowers agree
to pay to Lender and any new lenders such arrangement, commitment and other fees and expenses to be agreed between Borrowers, Lender and
any new lenders in connection with such Revolving Commitment Increase. Lender shall have no liability to any Borrower or any other Credit
Party or to any other new lender in connection with any syndication of any Revolving Commitment Increase. Borrowers shall prepay any Revolving
Loans on the date of any such increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans
ratable with any revised Revolving Loan Commitment arising from any non-ratable increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment under this Section.

    30 

     

    

2.14         
USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Lender hereby notifies each Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Lender
is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Borrower, Guarantor or other Credit Party, including its legal
name, address, tax ID number, and other information that will allow Lender to identify it in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act, and
pursuant thereto, Lender may also require information regarding each Credit Party’s management and Shareholders, such as legal names,
addresses, social security numbers, and dates of birth..

3.               
CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT.

3.1             
Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans. In addition to any other requirement set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall not
be required to fund any Loan or issue any Letter of Credit hereunder unless and until the following conditions shall have been satisfied,
in the sole opinion of Lender and its legal counsel:

(a)              
Execution and Delivery of Documents. Each Credit Party and each other party to any Loan Document, as applicable, shall have
executed and delivered each of the following documents, each of which shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and its legal
counsel in their discretion:

(i)                
This Agreement;

(ii)             
Each Note;

(iii)

or through one or more agents or sub-agents or otherwise:

(a)              
Accelerate Payment. Lender may declare any or all Obligations (other than Obligations under any Swap Agreements between
any Borrower and Lender or any Affiliate of Lender, all of which shall be due in accordance with and governed by the provisions of said

the credit of or account of any Borrower against any and all of the Obligations.

9.                 
MISCELLANEOUS.

9.1             
No Waiver, Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Lender to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, or any Applicable Law shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right
or remedy hereunder, under any other Loan Document or under any Applicable Law preclude any other or further exercise thereof by Lender
or the exercise of any other right or remedy by Lender. The rights and remedies herein provided to Lender are cumulative and are in addition
to any other rights and remedies provided to Lender by Applicable Law, under any other Loan Document, or otherwise. If any part of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under any Applicable Law, such provision shall be
inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent that it is contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof or, as applicable,
any other Loan Document shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as possible.

costs and expenses, and fees, costs and expenses for investigations and experts) incurred by such indemnitees, whether before or from

or the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and (iii) subject to Section 6.5, as applicable, each
inspection, with respect to any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any of their Subsidiaries, whether prepared by Lender's personnel or a third
party; and (d) the fees and disbursements of legal counsel for Lender in connection with clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, whether any suit
is brought or not and whether incurred at trial or on appeal; (e) any civil penalty or fine assessed by any Governmental Entity against
Lender or any Affiliate of Lender and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection
with the defense thereof by Lender or such Affiliate, as a result of Lender’s making extensions of credit hereunder, the acceptance
of payments due under the Loan Documents or any Swap Agreement between any Credit Party and Lender or any of its Affiliates, or providing
of any Bank Product; (f) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan, other than

misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment binding on such indemnitee; (g)
any liability for payment of any state documentary stamp taxes, intangible taxes, or similar taxes (including interest or penalties, if
any) that may now or hereafter be determined to be payable in respect to the execution, delivery, or recording of any Loan Document or
the making of any Loan, whether originally thought to be due or not, and regardless of any mistake of fact or law on the part of Lender
(or its legal counsel) or any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any of their Subsidiaries with respect to the applicability of such tax; and

obligation for indemnification and reimbursement for all of the foregoing losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees,
costs, and expenses of Lender or any of its Affiliates or any other Indemnitees shall be part of the Obligations, shall be due and payable
by Borrowers on demand and shall survive termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that, any payment made or other
action by Lender pursuant hereto or under any other Loan Document shall be without prejudice to any right or remedy of Lender, including
the right of Lender to assert a Default or Event of Default to exist and to proceed accordingly in accordance with Section 9.2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity provisions contained in this Section 9.3 shall not apply with respect to losses, damages,
liabilities, obligations, penalties, fines, fees, costs, or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, costs and
expenses, and fees, costs and expenses for investigations and experts described above) that (a) arise out of the conduct of parties other
than Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower and (b) do not result from any action or inaction of Borrower or any Affiliate of 

    47 

     

    

Borrower.
For the avoidance of doubt, the act of entering into this Agreement does not constitute conduct of Borrower for purposes of Sections
9.3(b), 9.3(d) and 9.3(e) above.

9.4

notice shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient.

9.5             
Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed contracts made under the laws of the Jurisdiction
and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Jurisdiction (excluding its conflict of laws provisions if such
provisions would require application of the laws of another jurisdiction) except insofar as the terms of such Loan Document expressly
state that the law of a different jurisdiction shall govern such Loan Document.

9.6             
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit
of, Lender (and each Affiliate of Lender) and their respective successors and assigns, and each Credit Party that is a party hereto and
thereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither any Borrower 

    48 

     

    

nor any other
Credit Party may assign any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written
consent of Lender, and any such assignment made without such consent will be void ab initio in all respects; provided, further,
however, that Lender may assign its rights, duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in accordance with
Section 10.11. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document is intended or shall be construed to confer any rights or benefits
upon any Person other than the parties hereto and thereto and Lender’s Affiliates, as applicable, and there shall be no third party
beneficiaries hereof or thereof, except for Lender’s Affiliates or as otherwise may be expressly so designated by Lender.

9.7             
Counterparts; Electronic Signatures; Seals. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers and consents relating hereto, together
with each of the Loan Documents, and any amendments, waivers or consents relating thereto, may be executed in any number of counterparts
and by different parties hereto or thereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an “original”
and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Any signature delivered by a party hereto or to
any amendment, waiver, or consent relating hereto or to any Loan Document by facsimile transmission or by electronic e-mail in Adobe Corporation’s
Portable Document Format (or PDF) shall be deemed to be an “original” signature hereto or thereto. Any party delivering an
executed counterpart of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by facsimile transmission or other electronic method of transmission
also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Loan Document to each other party hereto or thereto
but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this
Agreement or such other Loan Document. If this Agreement or any other Loan Document provides for the imposition of a seal by any party
hereto or thereto, the word ”seal” placed adjacent to the party’s name or signature shall by itself be sufficient evidence
thereof.

9.8             
No Usury. Regardless of any other provision of this Agreement, any Note, or any other Loan Document that may be to the contrary,
if, for any reason the effective rate of interest payable hereunder or thereunder on any Obligation shall exceed the maximum lawful rate
of interest under Applicable Law, the effective rate of interest payable hereunder or thereunder shall be deemed reduced to, and shall
be, such maximum lawful rate of interest. Any amount paid to or collected by Lender as interest that would be in excess of the amount
permitted by Applicable Law shall be deemed applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations in such order or manner
as Lender shall determine consistent with the terms hereof or thereof and not to the payment of interest, but if such Obligations have
been or are thereby paid in full, the excess shall be returned to the Person paying same, such application to the principal balance of
the Obligations or the refunding of excess to constitute a complete settlement thereof. In determining whether the interest contracted
for or charged or received by Lender in respect of any Obligation exceeds the maximum rate, Lender may, to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments
of principal, interest or fees 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.

    49 

     

    

9.9             
Powers. All powers of attorney granted to Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document are coupled with an interest
and are irrevocable whether or not expressly so provided in the granting thereof.

9.10         
Approvals; Amendments. If this Agreement or any other Loan Document calls for Lender’s approval or consent, such approval
or consent may be given or withheld in the discretion of Lender unless otherwise specified herein. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
may not be modified, altered, waived or amended, except by an agreement in writing signed by each Borrower (or by Borrower Representative
on behalf of each Borrower or Borrowers, collectively) and Lender, and may not be modified in any manner adverse to a counterparty to
any secured or guaranteed Swap Agreement between any Borrower and Lender or any of its Affiliates without that provider’s prior
written consent. In respect of this Agreement and each other Loan Document, each Borrower certifies that it has the right, power and authority
to act as agent for its Subsidiaries and bind each of them accordingly hereto and thereto.

9.11         
Participations and Assignments. Each Borrower, each Subsidiary and each other Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that
Lender may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in
respect of one or more Loans to any one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”). Each Participant may exercise all rights
of payment (including without limitation rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of such Loans or other Obligations payable hereunder
held by it as fully as if such Participant were the direct holder thereof. In addition to the sale by Lender of participating interests,
as provided hereinabove, each Borrower, each Subsidiary and each other Credit Party further acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell,
assign or transfer all or any part of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to one or more Persons and one or more
Persons may commit to make Loans or other financial accommodations hereunder as Lender’s assignee (each, a “Purchasing Lender”).
Each Borrower, each Subsidiary and each other Credit Party hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the transfer
of all or a portion of the rights, duties and obligations of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in connection therewith
and acknowledges and agrees that from and after the time on which such assignment is made, and to the extent thereof, each Borrower, each
Subsidiary and each other Credit Party shall attorn directly to such Purchasing Lender, and Lender shall have no further duty or obligations
to any Borrower, Subsidiary and other Credit Party in respect hereof or of any assigned Loan Document to the extent of such assignment.
Each Borrower, each Subsidiary and each other Credit Party agrees to execute and deliver to Lender (or its designee) or such Purchasing
Lender, as the case may be, such further documents and do such further acts and things as Lender or Purchasing Lender may request in order
to effectuate the foregoing. Each Borrower, Subsidiary and other Credit Party authorizes Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing
Lender and any prospective Participant or Purchasing Lender any and all financial information in Lender’s possession concerning
Borrowers, Subsidiaries and other Credit Parties that has been delivered to Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower, Subsidiary or other
Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise generated in connection with Lender’s credit evaluation
of Borrowers, Subsidiaries and other Credit Parties, and ongoing loan administration pursuant hereto. Nothing contained herein, however,
shall limit in any way the right of Lender to assign all or a portion of the Loans owing to it from time to time to any Federal Reserve
Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of 

    50 

     

    

Governors of the Federal Reserve System
and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank in regard thereto.

9.12         
Waiver of Certain Defenses. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
and during its continuation, neither any Borrower nor any Subsidiary nor any other Credit Party or anyone else claiming by or under such
Borrower or any such Subsidiary or any such Credit Party will claim or seek to take advantage of any Applicable Law requiring Lender to
attempt to realize upon any collateral offered by any Guarantor, or any appraisement, evaluation, stay, extension, homestead, redemption,
or exemption laws now or hereafter in force to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Borrower,
for itself and each Subsidiary, each other Credit Party and all other Persons who may at any time claim through or under such Borrower
or any such Subsidiary, such Credit Party or such other Person hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law
the benefit of all such laws. All rights of Lender and all obligations of each Borrower and its Subsidiaries and all other Credit Parties
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) any change in the time, manner,
or place of payment of, or any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any
departure from any provision of the Loan Documents, (b) any exchange, release, or non-perfection of any other collateral given as security
for the Obligations, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty for all or any of the Obligations,
or (c) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Borrower, any Subsidiary, any
other Credit Party or any third party, other than payment and performance in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement
in connection therewith.

9.13         
Additional Provisions. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. No provision of this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed against or interpreted to the disadvantage of any party hereto by reason of such
party having or being deemed to have structured, drafted or dictated such provision. If this Agreement or any other Loan Document contains
any blank spaces, such as for amounts or dates, Borrowers hereby authorize Lender to complete any such blank spaces according to the terms
upon which the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby were contemplated. Borrowers acknowledge that they have been advised by legal
counsel (or were provided the opportunity to do so, but elected otherwise) in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and, in any event, may not rely, and they are not relying, upon any advice of any legal counsel representing Lender.
If any payment is made by Lender (or its Affiliates) in error (whether known to the recipient or not) or if a Borrower or other Credit
Party is not otherwise entitled to receive such funds at such time of such payment or from such Person in accordance with the Loan Documents,
then, such Borrower or other Credit Party shall forthwith on demand repay to Lender the portion of such payment that was made in error
(or otherwise not intended (as determined by Lender) to be received) in the amount made available by Lender (or its Affiliate) to such
Borrower or other Credit Party. Each Borrower and each Credit Party waives the “discharge for value” defense in respect of
any such payment.

9.14         
Integration; Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with all other instruments, agreements,
and certificates executed by the parties in connection therewith or with reference thereto, embody the entire understanding and agreement

    51

and inducements, whether express or implied, oral or written. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. Any promises,
representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained or in any other Loan Document and hereinafter made shall have no force
and effect unless in writing, and signed by the respective officers of the party making such promises, representations, warranties, or
guarantees. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any portion or provisions hereof or thereof may be changed, modified,
amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by
an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged, as provided in Section 10.10.

9.19         
Information. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall prevent Lender from disclosing confidential information
provided by any Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Credit Party from time to time (a) to any of Lender’s Affiliates, or any of

    53 

     

    

Lender’s or any of its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, agents, or advisors, (b) to any other Person if incidental

amount and purpose of any Credit Facility provided hereunder in any “tombstone” or comparable advertising, on its website
or in other of Lender’s marketing materials.

9.20         
No Tax Advice. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to all tax and accounting matters relating
to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated herein and therein, it has not relied on any representations
made, consultation provided by, or advice given or rendered by Lender or Lender’s representatives (including Lender’s legal
counsel), agents, or employees; and, instead, each Borrower has sought, and relied upon, the advice of its own tax and accounting professionals
(including legal counsel) with respect to all such matters, or otherwise elected to proceed without the benefit of such advice.

9.21         
No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby and by any
Loan Document, each Borrower and each other Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) (i) the Credit Facility evidenced by this Agreement
and any related arranging or other services by Lender, any of its Affiliates, or any arranger are arm's-length commercial transactions
between such Borrower and such Persons; (ii) each Borrower and other Credit Party has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory,
and tax advisors to the extent such Borrower and other Credit Party has deemed appropriate; and (iii) each Borrower and other Credit Party
is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks, and conditions of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (b) Lender, its Affiliates, and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal
in connection with this Credit Facility, is not the financial advisor, agent, or fiduciary of, to, or for each Borrower or any other Credit
Party or any other Person and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
except as expressly set forth herein or therein; and (c) Lender, its Affiliates, and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions
that involve interests that differ from the Credit Parties and their Affiliates and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests
to any Credit Party or any such Affiliate. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower for itself and on behalf of
each Subsidiary, and each other Credit Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Lender, its Affiliates, and
any arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction
contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

9.22         
Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by or on behalf of Borrower or
any other Credit Party, or the transfer to Lender of any 

    54 

     

    

property of Borrower or any other Credit Party (including through setoff) should
for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors' rights, including
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money
or transfers of property (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), or if Lender or any Affiliate of Lender is otherwise required
to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the advice of its legal counsel, then, as
to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that such Persons, or any of them, is required or elects to repay or restore, and
as to all costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees of such Persons related thereto, the liability of Borrowers and each other Credit Party
automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made, to the
extent thereof. If, prior to any of the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall have been terminated
or cancelled, Lender’s Liens, or such provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall be reinstated in full force
and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise
affect the obligation of any Borrower or other Credit Party in respect of such liability .

9.23         
Injunctive Relief. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party recognizes that if such Borrower or such Credit Party fails
to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any remedy at
law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender and, therefore, Lender, if Lender so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent
injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages to Lender are not an adequate remedy.

or instrument, any other agreement to which Indemnitee and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are party, any vote of stockholders
or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the DGCL, any other applicable law or any liability insurance policy, the
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against Expenses incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with such
Proceeding in proportion to the success achieved by Indemnitee in such Proceeding, as determined by the court presiding over such
Proceeding.

 

(c)                
Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement
to indemnification by the Company for a portion of any Expenses, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid
in settlement incurred by Indemnitee, but not for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee
for such portion.

 

(d)                
Nonexclusivity. The indemnification and advancement of expenses rights provided by
this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may now or in the future be entitled under
the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational agreement or instrument of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or directors, the DGCL, any other applicable law or any liability insurance policy.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

(e)                
Exceptions. Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company
shall not be obligated under the Agreement to indemnify Indemnitee:

 

                                          
(i)      For
Expenses incurred in connection with Proceedings initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee against the Company and not by
way of defense, counterclaim or cross-claim, except (A) as contemplated by Section 3(b), (B) in specific cases if the
Board of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such Proceeding, (C) with respect to Proceedings brought to establish
or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or under any other agreement, provision in the Bylaws or Certificate
of Incorporation or applicable law, and (D) as may be required by law.

 

                                        
(ii)      For
an accounting of “short-swing” profits arising from the purchase and sale by the Indemnitee of securities within the
meaning of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or any similar successor statute.

 

(f)                 
Subrogation. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated
to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee, who shall execute such documents and do such
acts as the Company may reasonably request to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce
such rights.

 

4.                  
Contribution.

 

(a)                
The Company hereby agrees to fully indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless from any claims
of contribution which may be brought by officers, directors or employees of the Company, other than Indemnitee, who may be jointly
liable with Indemnitee.

 

(b)                
To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for
in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall
contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’
fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement), in connection with any Proceeding,
in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect
(i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause
to such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its directors, officers, employees and Agents) and Indemnitee
in connection with such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

 

(c)                
Any decision in connection with respect to the amount of contribution required under Section
4(b) in connection with any Proceeding shall be made as follows:

 

                                          
(i)      if
no Change in Control has occurred, (w) by a majority vote of the directors of the Company who are not parties to such Proceeding,
even though less than a quorum, with the advice of Independent Legal Counsel, or (x) by a committee of such directors designated
by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, with the advice of Independent Legal Counsel, or (y) if there
are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee,
or (z) by the stockholders of the Company; or

 

                                        
(ii)      if
a Change in Control has occurred, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

5.                  
Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall pay all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee
in connection with any Proceeding in any way connected with, resulting from or relating to Indemnitee’s Corporate Status,
other than a Proceeding initiated by Indemnitee for which the Company would not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee pursuant to Section
3(e)(i), in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding and without regard to whether Indemnitee will ultimately be
entitled to be indemnified for such Expenses and without regard to whether an Adverse Determination has been made, except as contemplated
by the last sentence of Section 6(f). Indemnitee shall repay such amounts advanced only if and to the extent that it
shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision that Indemnitee is not
entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such Expenses. Such repayment obligation shall be unsecured and shall not bear interest,
and shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses. The Company shall not impose on Indemnitee
additional conditions to advancement or require from Indemnitee additional undertakings regarding repayment. The Company agrees
that for the purposes of any advancement of Expenses for which Indemnitee has made written demand to the Company in accordance
with this Agreement, all Expenses included in such demand that are certified by affidavit of Indemnitee’s counsel as being
reasonable shall be presumed conclusively to be reasonable. The right to advances under this Section 5 shall continue
until final disposition of any Proceeding, including any appeal therein.

 

6.                  
Indemnification Procedures.

 

(a)                
Notice of Proceeding; Cooperation. Indemnitee shall give the Company notice in writing
as soon as practicable of any Proceeding for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement; provided that
any failure or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Agreement unless and to
the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure.

 

(b)                
Settlement. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee,
which may be provided or withheld in Indemnitee’s sole discretion, effect any settlement of any Proceeding against Indemnitee
or which could have been brought against Indemnitee unless such settlement solely involves the payment of money by persons other
than Indemnitee and includes an unconditional release of Indemnitee from all liability on any matters that are the subject of such
Proceeding and an acknowledgment that Indemnitee denies all wrongdoing in connection with such matters. However, the Company shall
not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee against amounts paid in settlement of a Proceeding against Indemnitee if such settlement
is effected by Indemnitee without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(c)                
Request for Payment; Timing of Payment. To obtain indemnification payments or advances
under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request therefor, together with such invoices or other supporting
information as may be reasonably requested by the Company and reasonably available to Indemnitee. The Company shall make indemnification
payments to Indemnitee no later than thirty (30) days, and advances to Indemnitee no later than ten (10) days, after receipt of
the written request (and such invoices or other supporting information) of Indemnitee.

 

(d)                
Determination. The Company intends that Indemnitee shall be indemnified to the fullest
extent permitted by law as provided in Section 3 and that no Determination shall be required in connection with
such indemnification. In no event shall a Determination be required in connection with advancement of Expenses pursuant to Section
4 or in connection with indemnification for Expenses incurred as a witness or incurred in connection with any Proceeding
or portion thereof with respect to which Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise (including, without limitation,
settlement of Proceeding with or without payment of money or other consideration or the termination of any issue or matter in such
Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice). Any decision that a Determination is required by law in connection with any
other indemnification of Indemnitee, and any such Determination, shall be made within thirty (30) days after receipt of Indemnitee’s
written request for indemnification, as follows:

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

                                          
(i)      If
no Change in Control has occurred, (w) by a majority vote of the directors of the Company who are not parties to such Proceeding,
even though less than a quorum, with the advice of Independent Legal Counsel, or (x) by a committee of such directors designated
by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, with the advice of Independent Legal Counsel, or (y) if there
are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee,
or (z) by the stockholders of the Company.

 

                                        
(ii)      If
a Change in Control has occurred, by Independent Legal Counsel in a written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee.

 

The Company shall pay all Expenses
incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Determination.

 

(e)                
Independent Legal Counsel. If there has not been a Change in Control, Independent Legal
Counsel shall be selected by the Board of Directors within a reasonable time (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after
receipt of a written request from Indemnitee, and shall be approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed). If there has been a Change in Control, Independent Legal Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee and approved by the
Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) within a reasonable time (and in any event within five (5) Business
Days) after receipt of a written notice from Indemnitee specifying Independent Legal Counsel selected by Indemnitee. The Company
shall pay the fees and expenses of Independent Legal Counsel and indemnify Independent Legal Counsel against any and all expenses
(including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to its engagement.

 

(f)                 
Consequences of Determination; Remedies of Indemnitee. The Company shall be bound by
and shall have no right to challenge a Favorable Determination. If an Adverse Determination is made, or if for any other reason
the Company does not make timely indemnification payments or advances of Expenses, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence
a Proceeding before a court of competent jurisdiction to challenge such Adverse Determination and/or to require the Company to
make such payments or advances. Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Expenses incurred in connection with such
a Proceeding in accordance with Section 3(b) and to have such Expenses advanced by the Company in accordance with Section
5. If Indemnitee fails to timely challenge an Adverse Determination, or if Indemnitee challenges an Adverse Determination and
such Adverse Determination has been upheld by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final and non-appealable decision then, to
the extent and only to the extent required by such Adverse Determination or final decision, the Company shall not be obligated
to indemnify or advance Expenses to Indemnitee under this Agreement.

 

(g)                
Presumptions; Burden and Standard of Proof. In connection with any Determination, or
any review of any Determination, by any person, including a court:

 

                                          
(i)      It
shall be a presumption that a Determination is not required.

 

                                        
(ii)      It
shall be a presumption that Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct and that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper
in the circumstances.

 

                                       
(iii)      The
burden of proof shall be on the Company to overcome the presumptions set forth in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), and each
such presumption shall only be overcome if the Company establishes that there is no reasonable basis to support it.

 

                                      
(iv)      The
termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, finding, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or
upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that indemnification is not proper or that Indemnitee
did not meet the applicable standard of conduct or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by this Agreement
or otherwise.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

                                        
(v)      Neither
the failure of any person or persons to have made a Determination nor an Adverse Determination by any person or persons shall be
a defense to Indemnitee’s claim or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet the applicable standard of conduct,
and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 6(f) shall be de novo with respect to all determinations
of fact and law.

 

7.                  
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance.

 

(a)                
Maintenance of Insurance. So long as the Company or any of its Subsidiaries maintains
an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for any directors, officers, employees or Agents of any such person,
the Company shall ensure, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, that Indemnitee is covered by such insurance policy or
policies in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of
the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ then current directors and officers. If at any date (i) such insurance ceases to
cover acts and omissions occurring during all or any part of the period of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status or (ii) neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries maintains any such insurance, the Company shall ensure that Indemnitee is covered, with
respect to acts and omissions prior to such date, for at least six years (or such shorter period as is available on commercially
reasonable terms) from such date, by other directors and officers liability insurance, in amounts and on terms (including the portion
of the period of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status covered) no less favorable to Indemnitee than the amounts and terms of the
liability insurance maintained by the Company on the date hereof; provided that nothing set forth in the foregoing
shall otherwise limit the Company’s obligation to (i) indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with Section 3, (ii)
contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for all expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorneys’
fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement), in connection with any Proceeding
in accordance with Section 4, and (iii) pay and advance all Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any
Proceeding in accordance with Section 5.

 

(b)                
Notice to Insurers. Upon receipt of notice of a Proceeding pursuant to Section
6(a), the Company shall give or cause to be given prompt notice of such Proceeding to all insurers providing liability insurance
in accordance with the procedures set forth in all applicable or potentially applicable policies. The Company shall thereafter
take all necessary action to cause such insurers to pay all amounts payable in accordance with the terms of such policies.

 

8.                  
Exculpation, etc.

 

(a)                
Limitation of Liability. Indemnitee shall not be personally liable to the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or to the stockholders of the Company or any such Subsidiary for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director of the Company or any such Subsidiary; provided that the foregoing shall not eliminate or limit
the liability of the Indemnitee if it is found, in a final judgment or other final adjudication that: (i) the Indemnitee has breached
his duty of loyalty to the Company or such Subsidiary or the stockholders thereof, (ii) the Indemnitee’s actions or omissions
were not in good faith or involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law, (iii) Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification in accordance with Section 174 of the DGCL or any similar provision of other applicable corporate law or (iv) with
respect to a particular transaction, the Indemnitee derived an improper personal benefit. If the DGCL or such other applicable
law shall be amended to permit further elimination or limitation of the personal liability of directors, then the liability of
the Indemnitee shall, automatically, without any further action, be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the
DGCL or such other applicable law as so amended.

 

(b)                
Period of Limitations. No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall
be asserted by or in the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries against Indemnitee or Indemnitee’s estate, spouses,
heirs, executors, personal or legal representatives, administrators or assigns after the expiration of one (1) year from the date
of accrual of such cause of action, and any claim or cause of action of the Company shall be extinguished and deemed released unless
asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such one-year period; provided that if any shorter period
of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

9.                  
Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                
Non-Circumvention. The Company shall not seek or agree to any order of any court or
other governmental authority that would prohibit or otherwise interfere, and shall not take or fail to take any other action if
such action or failure would reasonably be expected to have the effect of prohibiting or otherwise interfering, with the performance
of the Company’s indemnification, advancement or other obligations under this Agreement.

 

(b)                
Severability. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held
to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (ii) such provision or provisions shall
be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties
hereto; and (iii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion
of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself
invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

 

(c)                
Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement
shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (i) on the date of delivery if delivered personally, or by facsimile, upon confirmation
of receipt, (ii) on the first business day following the date of dispatch if delivered by a recognized next-day courier service
or (iii) on the third business day following the date of mailing if delivered by domestic registered or certified mail, properly
addressed, or on the fifth business day following the date of mailing if sent by airmail from a country outside of North America,
to Indemnitee at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement, to the Company at the address shown on the signature
page of this Agreement, or in either case as subsequently modified by written notice.

 

(d)                
Amendment and Termination. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation
of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by all the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions
of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall
such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 

(e)                
Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its respective
successors and assigns, including without limitation any acquiror of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or
business, any person or group (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended)
that acquires beneficial ownership of securities of the Company representing more than 50% of the total voting power represented
by the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities and any surviving entity of any merger or consolidation to which the
Company is party, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s estate, spouses, heirs,
executors, personal or legal representatives, administrators and assigns. The Company shall require and cause any such successor,
by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement
as if it were named as the Company herein, and the Company shall not permit any such purchase of assets or business, acquisition
of securities or merger or consolidation to occur until such written agreement has been executed and delivered. No such assumption
and agreement shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations hereunder, and this Agreement shall not otherwise be assignable
by the Company.

 

(f)                 
Choice of Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and its
provisions construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts between Delaware residents entered
into and to be performed entirely within Delaware, without regard to the conflict of law principles thereof. The Company and Indemnitee
each hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with
any Proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement and agree that any action instituted under this Agreement shall
be brought only in the state courts of the State of Delaware.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

(g)                
Integration and Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding
between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and
agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto; provided that the provisions hereof
shall not supersede the provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational agreement
or instrument, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or directors, the DGCL or other applicable law, to the extent any
such provisions shall be more favorable to Indemnitee than the provisions hereof.

 

(h)                
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which
shall constitute an original and both of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto
have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
