Employee shall be covered under any directors’ and officers’ (“D&O”) liability insurance policy then in effect for the directors and/or officers of the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; provided, the failure to have a D&O insurance policy in effect at all times shall not, alone, allow Employee to assert a claim for breach of this Agreement by the Company.  The Company shall provide Employee a copy of any D&O liability insurance policy then in effect upon request.

(c)Scope of Indemnification.  In addition to any D&O insurance coverage provided for in Section 5(b) above, the Company and any of the Company’s affiliates as to which Employee at any time serves as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary (collectively, the “Indemnitors”) shall jointly and severally hold harmless and indemnify Employee (and Employee’s heirs, executors and administrators) to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law against all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred by Employee in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Claim”) in which Employee may be involved by reason of Employee having served as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of any Indemnitor (whether or not Employee continues to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary thereof at the time such expenses or liabilities are uncured), or by reason of any such action or inaction on Employee’s part while serving in any such capacity, such expenses and liabilities to include, but not necessarily be limited to, losses, damages, judgments, investigation costs, court costs, costs related to acting as a witness and attorneys’ fees and the cost of settlements approved in advance by the Company.

After delivery of such notice and the retention of such counsel by the Indemnitors, the Indemnitors shall not be liable to Employee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel (or related costs and expenses) subsequently incurred by Employee with respect to the same Claim; provided that (i) Employee shall have the right to employ counsel in any such Claim at Employee’s sole expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Employee has been previously authorized in writing by the Indemnitors, (B) counsel for Employee shall have provided the Indemnitors with a written opinion that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnitors and Employee in the conduct of any such defense or (C) the Indemnitors shall fail to retain (or discontinue the retention of) such counsel to defend such Claim, then the fees and expenses of Employee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitors.

(e)Nonexclusivity.  The indemnity rights set forth in this Section 5 shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any rights to which Employee may be entitled under any of the Indemnitors’ charter documents, bylaws or agreements, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, and/or the laws of the various Indemnitors’ jurisdictions of formation or incorporation.

(f)Survival.  The indemnification rights provided for in this Section 5 shall (i) remain in full force and effect after any termination of Employee’s Employment and without regard to any investigation made by or on behalf of Employee or any agent or representative of Employee, and (ii) continue as to Employee for any action or inaction of Employee while serving as a director, officer, employee agent or fiduciary of any Indemnitor even though Employee may have ceased to serve in such capacity.

6.Expenses.

For purposes of this Agreement, a Notice of Termination shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of Employee’s Employment.  Upon the effective date of any termination of Employee’s employment hereunder, Employee shall be deemed to have resigned from any and all offices and other positions held by Employee in the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates.

This Agreement and Employee’s Employment hereunder shall be terminated for Cause (as hereinafter defined) immediately on notice to Employee, subject to any right of Employee as may be specified herein, if any, to cure any action, inaction, event or other circumstance that otherwise constitutes Cause.  From and after the effective date of termination for Cause, Employee shall not receive any further benefits, any unearned Base Salary, and shall not be entitled to receive any further Annual 

Bonuses or Equity Awards, regardless of the performance of the Company.  Any rights and benefits which Employee may have in respect of any other compensation or any employee benefit plans or programs of the Company shall be determined in accordance with the terms of such compensation arrangements or plans or programs or otherwise pursuant to applicable law. 

The term “Cause,” as used herein, shall mean any of the following:  (A) Employee’s conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any felony  that, in the Board’s sound discretion, would materially affect Employee’s ability to perform Employee’s duties or the reputation of the Company; (B) Employee’s engaging in illegal or willful misconduct that, in the Board’s sound discretion, has a material adverse effect on the financial performance, financial condition and/or reputation of the Company or any subsidiaries or affiliates thereof, including, but not limited to, a willful violation of Sections 10, 11 or 12 of this Agreement; (C) Employee’s embezzlement of funds or misappropriation of other material property of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof; (D)  Employee breaching this Agreement in a material manner, (E) Employee engaging in a material (critical or continuous) violation of the Company’s written policies and procedures as outlined in the Company’s Employee Handbook (or a successor Company’s handbook) and applicable broadly to all employees provided that Employee shall have been given at least 15 days’ notice and opportunity to cure such breach or violation; (F) Employee’s fraudulent conduct as regards the Company, which results either in personal enrichment to Employee or injury to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates; or (G) Employee’s refusal, after receiving at least 15 days’ notice and opportunity to cure, to follow the lawful directives of the CEO given in furtherance of a legitimate business purpose.

Any unvested shares of the Company’s common stock awarded pursuant to Section 4(c) shall be forfeited upon Employee’s termination (other than in the case of death or disability or as described in 8(f) and 8(g)).

In the event of a Constructive Termination with payments due under section 9, any unvested shares of Company common stock awarded pursuant to Section 4(c) shall be forfeited.
(f)Change in Control “Double Trigger” Termination.  “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence and actual consummation of either subparagraph (i), (ii), or (iii) below or any combination of said event(s) as more fully defined and described in Section 409A and related Treasury Regulations:

(i)Change in Ownership of the Company.  A change in ownership of the Company occurs on the date that any one person or persons acting as a group acquires ownership of the stock of the Company, that, together with stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company or of any corporation that owns at least fifty percent (50%) of the total fair market value and total voting power of Company.

(ii)Effective Change in Control.  If the Company does not qualify under Subparagraph (i), above, then it may still meet the definition of Change in Control, on the date that either:  (1) Any one person, or more than one person, acting as a group acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) ownership of stock of Company possessing thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of the stock of Company; or (2) A majority of the members of the Board are replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election.

(iii)Change in Ownership of Company’s Assets.  A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of Company’s assets occurs on the date that any person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total fair market value equal to more than fifty percent (50%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions.
  
Pursuant to this Agreement, a “Change in Control Protection Period” shall be in effect for the following periods: (A) the six months prior to any Change in Control if Employee is terminated (I) at the request of any third party who had taken steps reasonably calculated or intended to effectuate a Change in Control or (II) in connection with or in anticipation of a Change in Control or (B) the twenty-four (24) months beginning on the date of any Change in Control.
If a Change in Control as defined herein occurs, then the Employee is entitled to the associated severance payments described in Section 9(b) only if, during the Change in Control Protection Period, the Company (or its successor) terminates the Employee involuntarily without Cause or the Employee terminates due to a Constructive Termination.  
In the event of a Change in Control termination pursuant to Section 9(b), any unvested shares of the Company’s common stock awarded pursuant to Section 4(c) prior to the date of the Change in Control shall immediately vest upon Employee’s termination.
(g)Nonrenewal Termination.  If the Employee’s Employment continues until the expiration of the Term, upon the expiration of the Term if not otherwise renewed by the mutual agreement of the parties and the Employee’s Employment is terminated by the Company within 30 days following the expiration of the Term, the termination shall be considered a “Nonrenewal Termination”.  If the Company offers the Employee a renewed agreement that is substantially similar to the agreements of similarly situated employees and provides Employee compensation equal to or greater than Employee’s then current compensation and the Employee declines to accept such new employment agreement, then the Employee will not be eligible for any payment for Nonrenewal under Section 9(c).

In the event of a Nonrenewal Termination with payments due under Section 9(c), any unvested shares of Company common stock awarded pursuant to Section 4 shall continue to vest through March 31, 2021 or 90 days after the termination date of this Agreement whichever is later (based on actual company performance). 
9.Severance and Non-Competition Payments.

(a)Involuntary Termination without Cause/Constructive Termination, not during Change in Control Protection Period.  If Employee’s Employment is terminated outside of the Change in Control Protection Period other than: (i) as a termination by Employee (other than a Constructive Termination), (ii) as a result of death, (iii) as a result of termination due to Disability of Employee (iv) for Cause or (v) as a termination due to Nonrenewal, the Company shall pay to Employee (A) Employee’s Base Salary and accrued but unused PTO through the date of Termination, paid in a single lump sum within 30 days following the termination date and (B) a pro-rata Annual Bonus (based upon actual Company performance and the days of Employment in the calendar year of Termination), to be paid in a single lump sum no later than March 15 of the year following the year of termination.
  
Employee shall also be entitled to a severance payment equal to (C) the greater of one times Employee’s current Base Salary or the minimum Base Salary due under the remaining Term, (D) one times Employee’s average Annual Bonus paid to Employee in the prior three years (this bonus amount referred to as the “Severance Bonus”) and (E) the COBRA Reimbursement (defined below). If an Employee’s first year bonus is to be included in the calculation of the Severance 

Bonus, and such bonus is pro-rated for the portion of the year the Employee was employed with the Company, then an annualized amount shall be used for the calculation.  If an Employee has not participated in three bonus cycles, then the Severance Bonus will reflect the shorter period (or target if the Employee has not participated in any bonus cycles). Items (C) and (D) above shall be paid in a single lump sum and the COBRA Reimbursement (item (E)) shall be paid as described below, but items (C), (D) and (E) are payable only if and to the extent, and within 30 days after a valid Release (as hereinafter defined), has been signed by the Employee and become effective and irrevocable pursuant to its terms. 
(b)Involuntary Termination without Cause/Constructive Termination during a Change in Control Protection Period.  If the Employee’s Employment termination is for a reason other than those specified in 9(c)(i)-(v), but occurs during a Change in Control Protection Period, the Company shall pay to Employee (i) Employee’s Base Salary and accrued but unused PTO through the date of Termination, paid in a single lump sum within 30 days following the termination date and (ii) a pro-rata Annual Bonus (based upon target bonus and the days of Employment in the calendar year of Termination), to be paid within 30 days following the termination date.
  
Employee shall also be entitled to a severance payment equal to (iii) one times Employee’s current Base Salary, (iv) one times Employee’s average Annual Bonus paid to Employee in the prior three years (this bonus amount referred to as the “Severance Bonus”) and (v) the COBRA Reimbursement (defined below). If an Employee’s first year bonus is to be included in the calculation of the Severance Bonus, and such bonus is pro-rated for the portion of the year the Employee was employed with the Company, then an annualized amount shall be used for the calculation.  If an Employee has not participated in three bonus cycles, then the Severance Bonus will reflect the shorter period (or target if the Employee has not participated in any bonus cycles).  Items (iii) and (iv) above shall be paid in a single lump sum and the COBRA Reimbursement (item (v)) shall be paid as described below, but items (iii), (iv) and (v) are payable only if and to the extent, and within 30 days after, a valid Release (as hereinafter defined), has been signed by the Employee and become effective and irrevocable pursuant to its terms.
(c)Nonrenewal Termination.  Subject to Section 8(g), in the case of a Nonrenewal Termination, the Company shall pay to Employee (i) Employee’s Base Salary and accrued but unused PTO through the date of Termination, paid in a single lump sum within 30 days following the Termination Date.  Employee shall also be entitled to (ii) a severance payment equal to one times Employee’s current Base Salary (iii) the COBRA Reimbursement (defined below), paid as on or before the 30th day following the Date of Termination and, (iv) a pro-rata Annual Bonus (based upon actual company performance and the days of employment in the calendar year of Termination). Items (ii), (iii) and (iv) are payable only if and to the extent, and within 30 days after, a valid Release (as hereinafter defined), has been signed by the Employee and become effective and irrevocable pursuant to its terms; except that the pro-rata Annual Bonus (part (iv)) shall be paid in a single lump sum before March 15 of the year following the year of termination if that date is later than the payment date in the preceding clause. If the Company has offered the Employee a new employment agreement that is substantially similar to the agreements of similarly situated employees and provides Employee compensation equal to or greater than Employee’s then current compensation, and Employee declines to accept such new employment agreement, such declination will be considered a voluntary resignation and no payments under this Section 9(c) shall be payable to Employee.
    
(d)In the case of a Termination meeting the requirements to receive payment under Section 9(a), (b) or (c), the Company shall reimburse Employee for the actual cost of the premium for COBRA coverage for 18 months (if the Employee timely elects COBRA coverage), to the extent the actual cost of the premium for COBRA coverage exceeds the premium amount that similarly situated active employees pay for the same levels of coverage as elected by the Employee during the first 18 months of COBRA coverage (“COBRA Reimbursements”). The COBRA Reimbursements are payable only if and to the extent a valid Release (as hereinafter defined) has been signed by the Employee and become effective and irrevocable. The COBRA Reimbursements will be made to Employee on a taxable basis (less applicable taxes and withholdings), no later than December 31 of each calendar year during the COBRA Reimbursement period.  The COBRA Reimbursements will not be grossed up for any taxes.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Employee obtains employment with another Company and becomes eligible to receive comparable benefits from such Company, the COBRA Reimbursements described in this clause (d) shall cease; and

(e)Employee shall be entitled to any other rights, compensation and/or benefits as may be due to Employee in accordance with the terms and provisions of any agreements, plans or programs of the Company.

(f)No Mitigation.  Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any severance and non-competition payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise.

(g)Excise Tax.  In the event that Employee becomes entitled to any payments or benefits under this Agreement and any portion of such payments or benefits, when combined with any other payments or benefits provided to Employee (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, by reason of the exercise or vesting of any stock options or the receipt or vesting of any shares of stock of the Company), which in the absence of this Section 9(g) would be subject to the tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then the amount payable to Employee under this Agreement shall, either (i) be reduced to the largest amount or greatest right such that none of the amounts payable to Employee under this Agreement and any other payments or benefits received or to be received by Employee as a result of, or in connection with, an event constituting a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code) or the termination of Employment (including a Constructive Termination) shall be treated as “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or (ii) be made in full, with the Employee bearing full responsibility for any Excise Tax liability, whichever of (i) or (ii) provides Employee with a larger net after-tax amount.  The Company shall cooperate in good faith with Employee in making such determination.  Any reduction pursuant to the immediately-preceding sentence shall be made in a manner compliant with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

(h)Special 409A Acknowledgement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this Section 9, the payment of any and all amounts that are or may be payable under this Section 9 is and shall be expressly subject to the applicable terms, conditions, covenants and stipulations set forth in Section 24 below with respect to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

10.Release; Continuing Obligations.

(a)Employee covenants and agrees that Employee will not at any time, either during the Term or thereafter, use, disclose or make accessible or available to any other person, firm, partnership, corporation or any other entity any Confidential Information (as defined below) pertaining to the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, except (i) while employed by the Company, in the business of and for the benefit of the Company, or (ii) when required to do so by a subpoena, by any court of competent jurisdiction, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the Company, or by any administrative body or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with jurisdiction to order the Company to divulge, disclose or make accessible

In addition to and not in limitation of anything in the foregoing, it is specifically understood and agreed by Employee that any and all Confidential Information received by Employee during Employee’s Employment by the Company is deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement.  In the event Employee’s Employment is terminated hereunder for any reason, Employee immediately shall return to the Company all tangible Confidential Information (including any and all copies thereof) in Employee’s possession.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11, Section 23 or in any other agreement to the contrary, Employee shall not be held liable under this Agreement or any other agreement or any federal or state trade secret law for making any confidential disclosure of a Company trade secret or other confidential information to a government official or an attorney for purposes of reporting a suspected violation of law or regulation, or in a court filing under seal.

(b)Employee and the Company agree that the covenants in this Section 11 regarding Confidential Information are reasonable covenants under the circumstances and further agree that if, in the opinion of any court of competent jurisdiction, any such covenant is not reasonable or is unenforceable in any respect, such court shall have the right, power and authority to excise or modify such provision or provisions of such covenants as appear to the court not reasonable or unenforceable and to enforce the remainder of the covenant as so amended, and to that end the provisions of this Section 11 shall be deemed severable.  Employee agrees that any breach of any covenant contained in this Section 11 would irreparably injure the Company.  Accordingly, Employee agrees that the Company, in addition to pursuing any other remedies it may have in law or in equity, may obtain an injunction against Employee from any court having jurisdiction over the matter restraining any breach or threatened breach of this Section 11.  The Company may clawback any severance payments paid or payable to Employee under Section 9 in the event that Employee breaches this Section 11.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Employee from lawfully (i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Department of Justice, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Congress, or any other governmental or regulatory agency, entity, or official(s) or self-regulatory organization (collectively, “Governmental Authorities”) regarding a possible violation of any law, rule, or regulation; (ii) responding to any inquiry or legal process directed to Employee individually (and not directed to the Company and/or its subsidiaries) from any such Governmental Authorities; (iii) testifying, participating or otherwise assisting in an action or proceeding by any such Governmental Authorities relating to a possible violation of law; or (iv) making any other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of any applicable law, rule, or regulation.  Nor does this Agreement require Employee to obtain prior authorization from the Company before engaging in any conduct described in this paragraph, or to notify the Company that Employee has engaged in any such conduct.  Moreover, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Employee from disclosing a Company trade secret (i) in confidence to a Federal, State, or local government official, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.  If Employee files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law, Employee may disclose a Company trade secret to the Employee’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if Employee files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order.

12.Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a)As additional consideration for Employee’s employment with the Company, the compensation paid and payable to Employee hereunder and to induce the Company to execute and deliver to Employee this Agreement, Employee agrees that during the Restricted Period (as defined in Section 12(d) below), without the prior written consent of the CEO of the Company, Employee shall not be, nor shall Employee assist or enable any person or entity  to become, a principal, manager, officer, director, agent, consultant or executive or management employee of, or directly or indirectly own more than 1% of any class or series of equity securities in, any entity or business engaged in the business of buying nonperforming loans (the “Business”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee will not be deemed to be engaged in the Business in violation of the terms of this Section 12(a), if (A) Employee is employed by an entity that is meaningfully engaged in one or more enterprises whose principal business is other than the Business (the “Non-Competing Businesses”), (B) such entity’s relationship with Employee relates solely to the Non-Competing Businesses, and (C) if requested by the Company, such entity and Employee provide the Company with reasonable assurances that Employee will have no direct or indirect involvement in the Business on behalf of such entity.

(b)As additional consideration for Employee’s employment with the Company, the compensation paid and payable to Employee hereunder and to induce the Company to execute and deliver to Employee this Agreement, Employee agrees that during the Restricted Period, without the prior written consent of the Company, Employee shall not, on Employee’s own behalf or on behalf of any person or entity (other than on behalf of the Company), directly or indirectly, (i) solicit the clients, employees, customers or suppliers of the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries to terminate their relationship or modify such relationship in a manner that is adverse to the interests of the Company and its affiliates and subsidiaries or (ii) engage, hire or solicit the employment of, whether on a full-time, part-time, consulting, advising, or any other basis, any employee who was employed by the Company or its affiliates or subsidiaries on the effective date of Employee’s termination or at any time during the six (6) months preceding such termination date.  This provision does not prohibit the solicitation of employees by means of a general advertisement.
(c)Employee agrees that any breach of the covenants contained in this Section 12 would irreparably injure the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.  Accordingly, Employee agrees that the Company, in addition to pursuing any other remedies it may have in law or in equity, may obtain an injunction against Employee from any court having jurisdiction over the matter restraining any breach or threatened breach of this Section 12.  The Company may clawback any severance payments paid or payable to Employee under Section 9 in the event that Employee breaches this Section 12.

(d)The provisions of this Section 12 shall be in effect for the duration of Employee’s Employment and shall survive the termination of Employee’s Employment with the Company for any reason for a period of one year after the effective date of such termination (the “Restricted Period”).  The Company may elect to extend the Restricted Period for an additional twelve (12) months by increasing any required severance payment to the Employee by one times the sum of Employee’s then Base Salary and one times the average of the last three years Bonus payment.  

13.Limitation of Liability and Indemnity.

The limitation of liability and indemnity provisions of Section 8.1 of that certain Amended and Restated By-Laws of the Company and Article 9 of that certain Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company are a contractual benefit to Employee and are a material consideration for Employee’s employment.

except that any such replacement Note shall be dated as of the day following the date to which interest had been paid on the replaced
Note. Upon any such request, the Company shall issue such replacement notes and the holder(s) of this Note or such replacement
notes shall return such notes to be replaced to the Company, in each case marked “cancelled”, or deliver to the Company
a lost note indemnity in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The replacement and cancellation of notes pursuant
to this Section 2(c) shall in no way be a novation of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes being replaced and cancelled
nor shall the security interests granted pursuant to any Senior Subordinated Note Document be released, terminated or otherwise
impaired by such replacement and cancellation.

 

(d)       Note
Exchangeable for Different Denominations. This Note is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal
office of the Company, for a new Note or Notes (in principal amounts of at least $1,000) representing in the aggregate the outstanding

of PIK Interest in accordance with Section 1(b)).

 

(f)       Lost,
Stolen or Mutilated Note. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,

as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company
in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall
execute and deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the outstanding principal.

affecting creditors’ rights generally and limitations on the availability of equitable remedies, and (c) the execution and
delivery by the Company of the Senior Subordinated Note Documents to which the Company is a party, and the fulfillment of and compliance

Holder is acquiring these securities for investment, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and
the Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing this Note or the securities

Dividends. If the Company declares a dividend upon the Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of earnings or earned
surplus (determined in accordance with GAAP) except for a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock (a “Liquidating
Dividend”), then the Company shall pay to the Holder at the time of payment thereof the Liquidating Dividend which would
have been paid to the Holder on the Conversion Stock (and Common Stock) had this Note, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred
Stock been fully converted immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Liquidating Dividend, or, if no record
is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined.

22.       Business
Days. If any payment is due, or any time period for giving notice or taking action expires, on a day which is not a Business

23.       Waiver
of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE, BY ISSUING OR ACCEPTING THIS NOTE, AS APPLICABLE, AGREES THAT
IT HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION
(A) ARISING UNDER THIS NOTE OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS IN RESPECT OF THIS NOTE,
IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. Each of the Company
and the Holder, by accepting this Note, hereby agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action, or cause of action shall
be decided by court trial without a jury and that each Holder and the Company may file an original counterpart of a copy of this
Note with any court as written evidence of the consent of the Holder or the Company to the waiver of the Holder’s right to
trial by jury.

 

24.       No
Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Holder expressly set forth in this Note are cumulative and in addition to, and not exclusive
of, all other rights and remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in exercising
any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power
or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or be construed
to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder or their agents or employees shall
be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Note or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default. No notice
to or demand upon Company in any case shall entitle Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances

27.       Construction.
The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context
may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The words “include,”
“includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation,”
whether or not so expressly stated in each such instance and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the
inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same
meaning and effect as the word “shall.” Unless the context requires otherwise, (a) any definition of or reference to
any agreement, instrument or other document herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document
as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or
modifications set forth herein), (b) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors
and assigns, (c) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import,
shall be construed to refer to this Note in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (d) all references herein
to Sections shall be construed to refer to Sections of this Note, and (e) the words “asset” and “property”
shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties,
including cash, securities, accounts and contract rights. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, each accounting term used
herein shall have the meaning given it under GAAP.

 

28.       Excessive
Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, this Note is hereby expressly limited so that the interest
rate charged hereunder shall at no time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If, for any circumstance whatsoever,
the interest rate charged exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the interest rate shall be reduced to the maximum
rate permitted, and if the Holder shall have received an amount that would cause the interest rate charged to be in excess of the
maximum rate permitted, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount
owing hereunder (without charge for prepayment) and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid
balance of principal, such excess shall be refunded to the Company.
