of the persons whose signatures and titles appear on Exhibit A (an “Authorized Representative”)
are authorized, acting singly, to act for the Company (on behalf of itself or a Subsidiary) under this Agreement. The specimen
signature for each such Authorized Representative of the Company initially authorized hereunder is set forth on Exhibit A.

given, but the Document Custodian shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the then current Exhibit until receipt of a superseding
exhibit.

 

(c)       The
Document Custodian shall have no obligation to act in accordance with purported instructions to the extent that they conflict with

desired by it. If the Document Custodian does not receive such instructions within two (2) Business Days after it has requested
them, the Document Custodian may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking any such courses of action. The Document
Custodian shall act in accordance with instructions received from the Company in response to such request after such two Business
Day period except to the extent it has already taken, or committed itself to take, action inconsistent with such instructions.

 

Section 7.      
    Transmission
of Collateral Files. Prior to any shipment of any Collateral Files or Collateral Documents hereunder pursuant to the request
of the Company (on behalf of itself or a Subsidiary), the Company shall deliver to the Document Custodian written instructions
as to the method of shipment and shipper(s) the Document Custodian is to utilize in connection with the transmission of Collateral
Files or Collateral Documents in the performance of the Document Custodian’s duties hereunder (which instruction shall include,
if requested by the Document Custodian, billing account numbers maintained by the Company with such shipper(s) to allow for direct
billing of the related charges to the Company). The Company shall arrange for the provision of such services at its sole cost and
expense (or, at the Document Custodian’s option, reimburse the Document Custodian for all costs and expenses incurred by
the Document Custodian consistent with such instructions) and will maintain such insurance against loss or damage to Collateral
Files or other loan documents as the Company deems appropriate.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
it is hereby expressly agreed that in the absence of express written instruction from the Company pursuant to the preceding terms,
shipment may be made by the Document Custodian in any instance by means of any recognized overnight delivery or shipping service
(it being hereby expressly acknowledged that United Parcel Service is one such recognized service, without implied limitation).
All costs and risks of shipment shall be borne by the Company, and it is hereby expressly agreed that in no event shall the Document
Custodian have any liability for any losses or damages to any Person, arising out of actions of the Document Custodian consistent
with the instructions of the Company (on behalf of itself or a Subsidiary). Any costs of shipment that may be incurred or paid
by the Document Custodian from time to time may be billed by the Document Custodian to the Company on a monthly basis and shall
be due and payable when billed.

 

Section 8.      
    Fees of
the Document Custodian. The Document Custodian shall be entitled to compensation for its services in accordance with the terms
set forth in a separate fee letter between the Company and the Custodian.

 

    	 	6

or reimburse to the Document Custodian upon its request from time to time, all costs, disbursements, advances, and expenses (including,
reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred, and any disbursements and advances made (including any account overdraft

and all costs and expenses in connection with such transfer shall be the sole responsibility of the Company. If a successor document
custodian is not appointed by the Company within the aforementioned sixty (60) days, the Document Custodian may, at the expense
of the Company, deliver all the Collateral Files to the Company. Upon delivery of the Collateral Files to the Company as provided
in this paragraph, all duties and obligations of the Document Custodian shall cease and terminate. The payment of all costs and
expenses relating to the transfer of the Collateral Files (including any shipping costs) upon termination shall be the sole responsibility

Instructions for such action unless and to the extent the Document Custodian has received Proper Instructions from the Company
at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which any such action is to be taken.

provision of this Agreement shall require the Document Custodian to expend or risk its own funds, take any action hereunder (or

existence as a legal entity. The Document Custodian may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization
documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.”

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The parties unconditionally
and irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of New York and waive any objection with

determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate
in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable
manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
